I noticed today in the flyer that if you go to cvs.com/coupons you can print various coupons. Is this a new feature of cvs.com? I wonder if you can combine those coupons with the regular mfg. ones.

Anyway I thought I'd mention it here. Sorry if this is old news!

I noticed a $3 off Glade product coupon, $1 off Colgate and many others.

The coupons have been available for about a year now.

CVS.com uses many of the manufacturer's coupons from the other printable sites such as coupons.com, smartsource.com and redplum.com. Once you reach your print limit of a particular coupon at those sites and you won't be able to print that same identical coupon again at cvs.com. Likewise, once you reach your print limit of a particular coupon at cvs.com, you won't be able to print it at the other coupon sites.

Thanks for the info. I rarely go to CVS.com and just saw the tip in the flyer for the first time. There seem to be so many printable coupon sites, I don't know how all you gurus keep it straight!

I have the sites bookmarked and I know that coupons.com and smartsource.com change the coupons two or three times a week so I have to check the sites often. If I snooze, I lose.

I've also noticed that if a coupon appears on one of the sites, there's a very high probability that item will be going on sale for an amazing price at a grocery store near me within a week or two so I am sure to print my limit of the coupon.

With the cost of food, HBA items and other things we use daily going higher and higher, it's nice to be able to save with printables. With my budget stretched where it can stretch no more, every coupon absolutely is a saving grace and helps me enjoy things I might not otherwise be able to afford.

Well said Madmurphy!

Sorry -- I missed this part of your question.


Some of the coupons on CVS.com are actual CVS coupons. You'll be able to tell if they are CVS coupons by the barcode -- if the barcode begins with a "4" the coupon is a CVS coupon and can be combined with a manufacturer's coupon.

If the barcode begins with a "5" or a "9", the coupon is a manufacturer's coupon and it cannot be combined with another manufacturer's coupon to be used on the same item.
