Where would you coupon and why?
Walgreens
CVS
Rite Aid

(I am curious because I dont shop rite aid and Im afraid Im missing something, I do prefer Walgreens to Cvs because they dont limit me like CVS.)

[maree9304]

Hard choice, CVS is great because the employees here are nicer than the ones at Walgreens and I've never had problems using coupons, unlike at Walgreens. But when Walgreens has great deals, they're great and best of all no limits.
But I think I would have to go with CVS. I like being able to use coupons and not worry about being hassled.

Definitely rite aid. I never used to shop there, but since the new wellness and up rewards came along I have been . I really don't shop cvs much anymore, unless they have a killer sale. I never get any money off coupons from them either lately. Rite aid always has one available. I only have one wags by me and its about 20 minutes away. They are never stocked so i quit going there.

I would choose Rite Aid because since they started their Wellness program and +UPs rewards, they are giving CVS a run for their money. I found it too hard to shop at Walgreens because of the RRs not printing and having to figure out the number of items to number of coupons (store vs. manufacturer) and which ones to hand the cashier first. Besides, Rite Aid is giving lots of incentives for us to shop there with the monthly single check rebates and additional savings from watching the videos (Video Values program). You can get a $4 off $20 coupon once a month for watching a certain number of commercials. I don't know how long it will last, but it sure has saved me a lot of money.

My number 1 choice would be CVS...but since I just moved to the other side of the country and no longer have a CVS, my number 1 is Rite Aid. Now that I've sunk myself more deeply into shopping there, I am getting used to it and enjoying it! This months Single Check Rebate will be HUGE! Yay!!

Funny that you asked this question, because tonight I had $12 in ECBs and one of them was going to expire today. So since there was nothing that really got my attention, I took my DD in there and let her buy whatever she wanted.

I do have to say that I like CVS, due to the fact that their ECBs have a long expiration date, but for now I am sticking with RA. I know that we have a member who was in the RA "Red Plum Rite Aid Reset?" threads that did identify himself, that he does works for RA. So if he is reading this, make sure you that you tell everyone at RA to keep it up and continue to give all of us these awesome at RA....TIA

I do have to say that if wags or cvs have any killer deals, I will most definitely seek them out.

[twinmommma]

I don't have a Rite Aid, so that ones out for me.

I'd pick CVS over Walgreens because 1. the rolling can be a pain at times and 2. the expiration dates are longer. Though my Walgreens has much better CS than the CVSs in my area.

I would definitely say Rite Aid. Between the SCRs, and Up rewards, it's always a MM trip. Not to mention tons of sales and stuff I actually want/use. Anything that's a MM I will buy anyways and donate if I don't use it.

With the VVs combined with manu qs, it really makes some of the deals worth it. CVS is good too, but on a smaller scale. The SCRs are limited in the same way CVS limits purchases, but Ups are not limited for the most part. This month, even after oop for tax, I will be making about $60 for shopping at Rite Aid.

I don't really shop at Walgreens.

[CarrieM]

I would have to go with Walgreens since there's no Rite Aid or CVS in my area. Good thing I have the nicest employees at my Walgreens! (except 1 store, the woman is really rude and she is there EVERY time I go in)

[chrispogue3]

Well, for me it would be CVS hands down. First of all we don't have a Rite Aid, but I wish we did. I'm always reading about awesome trips. Wags just has too much rikamaroo to deal with. I always do really well at CVS and the employees are always super!

[babyrn]

CVS for sure. I have a great store with friendly employees who don't mind my coupons at all! What more could I ask for?

[narwhale]

CVS. Wags in so complicated. There isn't a Rite Aid handy, olus I don't know if I can handle another store!!

[steffus]

I don't have a Rite Aid.

I love CVS.

I like Walgreens.

I would def. pick CVS. They are SO friendly and they love me and my coupons.

[valeriem]

Rite Aid for me all the way! Love it!!

[shellie_wnj]

I would say CVS if it was closer. Walgreens by me has a limit 1 policy on RR recieved and used, and Rite Aid's management is difficult at best, and their corporate policy leaves way too much room up to "manager discretion", so they can pick and choose which of my coupons they want to take. CVS doesn't give me any problems, the ECB system is easy to use, and they almost always have what I want in stock. It's just about 20 minutes away, though - so I go every other week or so.

[Katlady]

For me, I have 3 Rite Aids so they get most of my business. Wish their cashiers were more friendly though. I love CVS and like Wags, but only have one of each and neither ever has any stock.

[joshmamabear]

No other choice but WAG but I'm fortunate that I can get the number that I want each week. I don't buy what all the rest are buying so its not that hard for me to find stocks.

Only when there are MM deals with the right coupons and I know I have them do I make sure I go early enough so I can get some of what I want. So far, this works for me.

[gravyqueen]

I would have a hard time choosing between Rite Aid and CVS. I don't like Wags. It's too far away and never well stocked with the freebies. For the first 6-7 months that I was couponing, I only did CVS. I had been told by employees of my RA that SCR checks had to be spent in the store and all at once. It seemed like it wasn't worth it at all. Finally I found out that that wasn't actually right and that SCR checks can be deposited like any other check.

If I had to choose only one, I would probably pick Rite Aid. My Rite Aid is very friendly. There is always a $$/$$ coupon available and there are lots of opportunities to make real money. I don't love the +ups but at least they don't have rules on them like Wags does... between my account and my mom's account, I did turn $57 worth of ups into real money and made $28 by using coupons.

[miralys]

CVS. We have no Rite Aid here, and CVS is more simple than Wags, all the way across the board. With CVS I never have a hassle with rainchecks or coupons. I never feel like a criminal. I don't get the hairy eyeball when I combine store and manufacturer coupons.

Most important of all, there are no tricky rules to trip me up. That "one coupon per item" rule at Wags always tripped me up, and I usually left the store with stuff I did not need and a much higher OOP than at CVS.

[meganPRICE]

Walgreens, since I have none of the other stores & am not sure how to shop at them anyways, .

[5zamoras]

No CVS here, I have Wags & RA all around....but I LOVE my Rite Aid!!! They are soooo friendly there, usually have great stock....and quite honestly...I think I am the ONLY couponer there..
Works great for me!

[nonniepooh]

No RA here either. I would choose CVS over WG. My CVS is sooooo Q friendly, with the best managers and cashiers!

[5forme]

Walgreens cause its the closest to me. And only one out of the three in a eight mile radius because the others are rude.

[shesspecial]

No Rite Aid, I wish we did, They have awesome deals !! I'm torn, I love CVS deals and the Red Machine but Walgreens doesn't have limits...oh, I can't decide !!

[missteena]

No contest here!

Rite Aid.

Why? We don't have a CVS and Walgreens has become extremely rude to couponers over the past year. So, I may as well go somewhere that appreciates my business! Plus, Rite Aid is closer to home!
