CVS 3/18
I started shopping there a couple of weeks ago, and had to spend a little more to start earning ECBs, however I still used coupons and got great deals. The people who work at one of the CVS near my house look very carefully at every coupon and match it up with the product, does that happen a lot to anyone else?
Transaction#1
1 Colgate Total Whitening toothpaste 7.6oz on sale for $3.89
used $1.50 coupon
1 Dry Idea on sale for 2.99
the woman could not figure out how to ring it up as such so she just rang it up for 0.99 and I did not use the $2/1 coupon I had printed nor did I "get" the ECBs, I just got the final price.

You have to love the coupon police! They act like you're ripping them off when the store gets reimbursed by the manufacturer. In fact, they get paid a handling fee by the manufacturer! But you feel like a heel using coupons. I've learned to smile and ignore their sleuthing. I know that I'm using the coupons legitimately, so I just wait for them to be okay with it too!
