Here are my CVS Shopping Scenarios for 10/21. In this scenario you’ll get $22.45 in merchandise and spend $6.74 total out of pocket.
You’ll end with either $5 or $6 in ECBs, so you are really paying just $1.74 or $0.74 for everything! WOO HOO.

Watch out — the Hallmark coupon adds $2 to your bill instead of taking $2 off! I didn’t realize it until after I left the store and it’s too late.
Mine didn’t, but it was a production with the cashier. She wanted to fight me on every coupon, I’ve never had this experience!! The manager told her to enter it manually, but then he said did you scan this bar code and she insisted she did, he tried and it went thru. I swear she was just trying to be difficult.
The american greetings coupon says offer excludes cards priced 99c or less, at least that’s how mine just printed out.

this will give you a dollar off the greeting cards. :))
OR on the hallmark FB page there is a $3/2 coupon.
The cashier needs to scan the barcode on the LEFT hand side of the Hallmark Coupon. As Michelle L. stated, the barcode on the right adds the $2 to your total. It took the cashier and the manager a looooooong time to figure it out!
Cris is right…you can’t use the American Greetings coupon on .99 cards they have to be to be $1 or more.
Opps, so buy a card that costs a $0.01 more – problem solved! 🙂
Christie ? I have read the cvs policy, but I am unclear on the answer.
I had “buy razor cartridges, get razor free.” I bought both, and tried using the bogo coupon and a $4.00 off coupon on the cartridges and the cashier told me I couldn’t use both, it scanned, but she took it off and told me it didnt and said I couldn’t use it. I asked if she was sure, because I have done it this way before and then she called someone else and they said no too.
I honestly thought you could, do you know? I did this deal twice last week, no problem.
I have a question on the Huggies diaper deal. I have the Huggies $5/$15 coupon from the Oh Baby! booklet and this past weekend I got one for $5/$25 on my receipt. Would I be able to use both and manufacturer coupons as follows:
1 Huggies box $19.99 and a Huggies wipes $5.99 = $25.98-$5 from my receipt and $5 from the Oh Baby! mailer and a $1 coupon manufacturer for diapers and $.50 manufacturer for wipes to pay $14.48 OOP and get back $3 ECB’s??? Please help.
Angie u should be able to as long as the $5 ques r CVs ques u can use manu ques dor each item also. I did deal Sunday but didnt have 5/25 use 4/20.,good luck!.;)
Not about this scenario, but I happened upon a $10 CVS coupon for Nature Made vitamins a few weeks ago, when NM was BOGO at CVS. So, with the CVS coupon and two $3 manufacturers coupons for $3 each off NM Minis, I got TWO 60ct. NM multivitamins for FREE! Plus I had two more NM codes to enter in their rewards program, enough for a $7 coupon!! WooHoo!!
