CVS SoCal Thread

Quote from asclosetofree : Just a reminder for California CVS shoppers- the 90 days after CVS signed a stipulation with the Atty Gen of the State of California have passed. CVS is now required to give a $2 coupon if you find an expired product. Be sure to check the hearing aid batteries near the pharmacy. It's a goldmine. Note: some stores have been doing this all along but in San Diego, they were giving $2 off the price of the item that was expired. That was allowed until the 90 days were up. They are up. They now have to give you a $2 coupon good on any product in any store. My store didn't have anything set up so they gave me a $2 ecb.

Do all the stores know this? Or do I need to take in proof of this to get a coupon?
TIA

Well, we are talking about CVS.
CVS agreed to have this coupon program in place, but that doesn't mean much.
Here is the relevant page of the stipulation, you can copy it and bring it with you.
One caveat- it doesn't apply to former Longs stores yet.

Once again I did not get my ad in the mail...whats going on..? :/

Yup, statewide. Went into a converted Longs about an hour north of Sacramento. It was the "CVS Grand Opening". Received the standard $1 OFF TWO GE PRETZELS scanner coupon, so I headed to the fully stocked pretzel racks. FOUR RACKS of the small 79-cent bags expired on 09-02-2009. A whopping 38 bags.

Of course, no other inventory in stock, so the manager reduced the full-size 20-ounce bags from 2.49 to 1.49. At checkout, the clerk printed out the generic $2 ECB, so that meant two full size bags free (2.98 - 1.00CRT - 2.00ECB)

Part of me was tempted to ask for $76 (heheh)..... 38 bags !!!!

Please do. I appreciate it. Thanks in advance!

Quote from Aristo93 : Please do. I appreciate it. Thanks in advance!

Maybe just point out the differences between the SoCal ad and the national ad instead of doing the whole write-up because we can just follow the CVS thread for that week. At least that's my thought.

listerine total care 16.9oz (=500ml) is a money maker...
$3.69 and get $2 back.
there are $2 coupons from two different weeks:
Listerine Total Care Anticavity Mouthwash $2 (12/31/09) SS 3/15/09
Listerine Total Care Anticavity Mouthwash, 500ml $2 (12/31/09) V 4/26/09
limit on the offer is 3.
