I went to cvs last night and used my $2/$10...no problems. Today I went back to get a prescription filled and get my gift card. I received a $4/$20 baby care last night on my receipt, so I bought

1 Johnson's soothing naturals balm (sale for $2.99)
Big thing of Swipers - 7.99
Pampers Wipes 3.49
2 jars gerber .79
2 cheap toothbrushes 1.58
Playskool wipes $3.29


Used $4/20, $2/10, $3/pampers wipes, $1/swipers, $1 off playskool wipes, cvs coupy for $2/playskool wipes, and $2 printable for the johnsons. She rang everything up with my meds and she told me I could not use the $2/$10. I don't know if this is because I used it once or because I bought it with the meds when the coupon says on non Rx purposes, but she told me it was because I had received a gift card in the same transaction. She was really nice and really knowledgable, so I don't think she was just lying or being lazy. Anyway, word to the wise...ring up the Rx's separate EVERY TIME!

Interesting thought!

I had a similar issue with ECB's the other week when I was getting a GC at the RX counter. I had my prescription & also was buying a Tylenol Sinus & Cold (w/$1 coupon) & a Cottonelle flushable wipes with no coupon. Based on this, I had enough items that it should not have been an issue.

The total of the non-RX items was around $7AC before tax & I had a $5.96 ECB. The register would not take it like I was trying to use it on the RX which I know is not legal. However, I had enough total of non-RX that is should have allowed me to use it.

It was no big loss & I was still getting enough free money on the GC to make it good, so I let it slide rather than complaining. However, I found that very odd as I've used ECB's & CVS/mfr Q's to get my total below the total RX value before & the register took everything. Only thing I can figure is it had to be something about having that GC on the receipt........that was the only thing different.

Dont you guys feel that sometimes you either have to have a PHD & BA & Masters to shop at CVS?????

I get the RX rung up in the back and then go to the front of the store for the other stuff. It's a hassle, but my pharmacy people aren't always as nice about the coupons. I'm ok with that, they are always so busy when I'm there!
