What are Instant Value Coupons?

What are Instant Value Coupons (IVC)?
IVCs are found in the weekly flyers

Are IVCs store coupons or MFR coupons?
The accepted view is that the IVC's are MFR coupons and can be combined with MFR coupon on all items (including regular price, sale price, and clearence items).

Do I pay tax on the original price or after coupon price?
In most states, sales tax is charged on manufacturer coupon amounts but NOT on store coupon amounts (in-flyer coupons). The IVC are treated as MFR coupons for tax purposes.

Are the limits on IVCs and in-flyer coupons enforced?
This is YMMV. The computer is not programmed to recognize the limits on the coupons. If it says limit 2 but you buy 4, the discount will be provided to all 4 items. However, the store does have the right to limit you to the number stated on the coupon, though they rarely do.

Does Walgreens give overage?
Walgreen's policy is not to give overage. However, it is YMMV. Don't ever count on overage, but make sure you have purchased enough items to cover any potential overage.

If a 7-day coupon says 5/$1, do I have to buy 5 or can I only buy less than 5 and still have them ring up at .20 each?
An in-flyer coupon will reduce price for each item, even if you buy less than 5.

**thanks to ILuvCoupons for the information
