My CVS doesnt have the machine so I cant get my print-outs!!! Any other way to get these coupons??
I’m new a this, what is an ECB?
Can you use coupons when you use the grocery pickup at Walmart?
Thanks!
At this point you can’t Dawn 🙁 I hate that!
I’ve been doing more online CVS shopping due to back surgery & now when I have 2 CVS coupons for “$2.00 off $8.00 breakfast items” both $2.00 coupons come off the $8.00. Is this something new? Before this I always had to have $16 to get be able to use both
Oh wow Janet! You are right it should be spend $16 but sometimes the computer has a glitch and takes both off. Yay for you to get a good deal. But yes in the future it probably will only work if you spend $16. Have a great day! 🙂
I can not find the $5/3 coupon for crest toothpaste on my app. I have a $5 off $25 crest products, Help
The two Revlon coupons you have listed in the scenario expired 11/19. 🙁
My CVS ad says the gift card is only good for Applebee’s.
You’re using multiple coupons in the same transaction that specifically state “one coupon per purchase,” so these scenarios will not work for everyone
Can somebody help me? I am trying to “do” transaction number 2. I found the Herbal Essence and Pantene coupons in the CVS app and loaded them on my CVS card, Where is the printable coupon for L’Oreal? I clicked on the red hyperlink…it took me to coupons but no L’Oreal coupn.
Also. can you walk me thru “Use $10 off when you spend 40 before”….how do I get this $10 off as well as what is an ECB?
I was on the live coupon class the other nite and got disconnected so maybe I missed this info.
I thought I would try it.
Thanks for any assistance!
What is an RMN insert?
Hi Mary Jo! That stands for the Retail-Me-Not coupon insert (from the 1/27 newspaper)! Hope that helps! 🙂
RMN stands for the Retail Me Not insert.
Just an FYI, i’m from the Chicago area recently CVS has updated their systems so some stores are not able to read the printable coupons anymore.
Thanks so much for the heads up Meg! That’s a bummer for sure!
the RMN insets in my local paper NEVER have any of the coupons you list. ugh!!! i don’t even bother buying a paper the weeks that those are the only inserts!!!
I hate that Kara! They vary SO much by area and region, and I agree, they’re not my favorites either. I hate that! 🙁
Do u have an easy printable version without all the advertisements?
I don’t have the Playtex rebate for CVS on my Ibotta app. Does that mean it isn’t available anymore?
