If you're a newbie to CVS shopping, retrain your brain from Walgreens. CVS is much easier to shop at and roll ECBs. Here is a scenario that can get you started.Remember, if CVS is out of stock on an item, ask for a raincheck. You still get ECBs with a raincheck.

Sorry, I think you forgot to put the ECB in transaction #4, otherwise the total doesn't come out right. Thanks for doing this, it makes going to CVS much more enjoyable.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Mrs Fisher. I missed putting that in the trasaction. I have to learn to proof better.
ReplyDeleteDon't forget the red machine is printing out a bunch of coupons. They have to be used the day it prints.
ReplyDeleteDon't forget to scan your card more than once. I did again today and got 2 additional coupons on my 2nd swipe of my card.
HI Anne Louis - Thanks for the reminder to scan your car at the Magic Coupon machine.
ReplyDeleteHI Anne Louis - Thanks for the reminder to scan your car at the Magic Coupon machine.
ReplyDelete***hahaha. I don't have one but I wonder if CVS will LET us even if it fits on their doors. (Peace Ms. Jeri, couldn't help myself. hehehe.)
HAS ANYONE TRIED THE REVLON OFFER? I WAS AT CVS TODAY AND THERE WAS O SALE LISTED IN THE AD FOR REVLON AND ON THE SHELF THEY WERE MARKED $8.99. THANKS
ReplyDeleteHi Elizabeth - The Revolon offer is working. Some stores are better at putting up the sale tags than others, but you can always take the product to the Magic Coupon Machine/price scanner and check to see if the product your picking up is included in the sale.
ReplyDeleteAlso, be on the lookout for $2 peelies on some of the lipsticks.
I was told at my CVS that they will honor the magic machine coupons even if they say expired.
ReplyDeleteHi Lisa - Thanks for the info. CVS never ceases to amaze me.
