RETIRED CVS Coupon DISCUSSION: questions, scenarios, & chat for ALL coupons (including Manufacturers) that can be used at CVS

Quote from Wisespender : I read through many posts, read CVS FAQ, and did a search and cannot find an answer to this. When using the % off coupons, will it take off the discount on the regular priced item on a BOGO or BOGO50%off deal? I'm sure that one time when doing a deal like this, it did take off for the reg. priced one, but then another time it did not. Has anyone had any success this week with any of the BOGO50%off for the P&G deal? I was going to get the Olay Body Wash, but if I can't get the % off I think it may be better to wait until next week and get the Olay then. Please advise as I am heading out in a little while. TIA

It has never worked for me, although I have not tried recently. BOGO and BOGO 50 are both considered sales. Even when I purchased just one of an item that was BOGO 50, the % Q has not deducted anything for that item. Perhaps others have had a different experience, I don't know.

Quote from hba123 : I purchased $10.49 PF item and $2.99 Bounty 8 pack (clearanced), used 25% off, got $7 PF ECBs and the 25% came off both items (I guess clearance is not considered sale ). This was a 25% off that was emailed yesterday and I printed it.

was at the store last night, and not a single bounty product was to be found, of any kind. I peeked at the shelf tags and still didnt see any bounty.. is bounty maybe in some part of the sore i havent ventured? cause is was not in the paper isle with rest of the napkins, paper towels, tpp, plates..etc..

Mine was on the shelf with all the paper stuff..only one left. Sometimes they have been piled up by the pharmacy too.

nevermind

learned something new for me - you can't eat into tax with manu q's if you are using % off coupon (at least this week's 25%). My total was showing 1.98 until cashier scanned last $1 mq, then % off coupon showed void and my total went up. The cashier adjusted % q to make my total zero and all worked fine (except paying 1.69 in tax).

newbie. question.
For those stores run 8/19 ads on saturday. Can I still do the deal from week 8/12 on Sat?
TIA

If you mean the stores that turn on their ads early (ads supposed to start Sunday), then the answer is yes.. You can do deals ending 8/18 and deals starting 8/19 (in the same Saturday/night trip).

Just gotta be careful with deals in both ads, then computer chooses a better deal.

So I just got the paperwork back from the Olay rebate where they told me I did NOT include a copy of the original receipt with the paperwork when I did and they made a PHOTOCOPY of the receipt and mailed it back to me! What do I do? Thankfully I scanned the receipt before I mailed but WTF... I did 100% include the original receipt with the Olay products marked / highlighted and you can see that on the copy they sent me! !

If I buy a $20 item and use a 25% off Q, am I paying tax on the full $20 or $15? I'm thinking it's $15 but my head hurts from trying to remember all the rules associated with these darn % off Qs.

% off question. How would the 25% off work with the 50% off Midol CRT?

Would the 50% come off and then 25 % or will the 50% come off and then 25% off the reg price?

I would call and explain. Someone else posted that their rebate was rejected due to using Q's which is very odd for P&G. I usually wait to mail mine 'til near the end so that all of these "kinks" can be worked out first. I don't know if it makes any difference or not.

Tax would be calculated on the amount AFTER coupons that scan as CVS COUPON, and the % off do scan as CVS COUPON. So, tax on $15 in your case.

The midol CRT should scan as CVS MFR COUPON so it won't affect the % savings at all. In the rare case that it scans as CVS COUPON, then the discount would be calculated after it.

ETA: I did not realize Midol was on sale. If so, then % off will not deduct from midol price.

any chance you know the #? there is only an address and no phone # on the correspondence they sent back....

I used plenty of Q's (although they can't tell because it only says mfr Q or CVS mfr q etc.. .but they didnt say anything about that .. the reason given was 'not original dated receipt included' ... but yet they MADE A COPY of the original dated receipt!!!! they told me to send back the original or a photocopy of the original including the date/time.... I need the phone # because I am so pissed and dont know where to start to call...
