I've noticed that during my trips to CVS the last two weeks, I've almost ALWAYS gotten a $5/25 on my CRT. I'm wondering if the world of printables is ending, to be replaced solely by the CRT's?

On a side note, when I was in CVS Thursday, I tried to use one printable $/$$ (4/20) and one CRT $/$$ (5/25). They told me when I handed them over that they had a memo come in (didn't say from where) that only one of ANY TYPE $/$$ could be used now.

I was told today that our Regional VP from corp. sent out an email and memo last week, which were followed by emails by the regional and then discussed at length at the district meeting this week regarding the $$/$$. The new regional policy is ONE $$/$$ per order period.

Any transaction that has more than one will be flagged, any store or employee that has multiple transactions will risk punishment.

....sigh....

I went to a new CVS in a different town on Friday and the cashier wrote my cvs card number on the 4/20 coupon. Asked her if this was new policy. She stated that they have had so many people returning products for refunds after using the coupons that management requires them to write numbers on them. I didn't ask how in the world they were going to track these.

some will let me combine them and some not. I get a 10/50 on almost everyone of my receipts.

CVS wouldn't let me use more then one printable today....sigh

I have a feeling that CVS is going to lose a lot of customers, and more revenue than they were losing due to coupons.

Today I used a $10/$50 CRT and a $5/$30 email printable on a $50 order. A manager checked me out and let me do this one last time but said in the future I would have to spend $80 to use both...I have never "super stacked" but using a $$/$$ CRT and a pritable has never been a problem for me until today.

I stacked last night no problems. I didn't super stack...I still got great deals and I am learning more about just rolling ecb.

My info from today came from the store manager that I am friends with. He is always 100% honest with me. Also, to make matters worse, our district has a new DM starting this week. So all stores in the district are supposed to strictly adhere to the new policy since he wants to impress the big wigs in his new job.

I will only roll my ECB from now on...sad day...sad day....

Do you think the $/$ CVS item crt's count as the one $/$?? (Hope this makes sense)

I never seem to get crts, what triggers them to print?

My store manager said yes...no more major shopping trips there for us. :<(

I just used two earlier this afternoon.

That manager doesn't have a clue though. I asked him before I handed
them to him.

I wanted the Maybelline eyeshadow trios which were free after ECB's
(limit of three). They were going to be donated.

Hesaid there are six ladies with briefcases who come in and clean
them out. I hope they donate.

Time will tell about their RULES!!!!

I stacked last night and did well. I think it all depends on your area. I was told last night that I am the only one that visits the store and stacks. So, my guess, is that my store may not be effected, yet...




Hugs!!!

Just wait. Once the stores that allowed some stop allowing it then they will venture to your area so you will no longer be the only one doing it. I know that there are many deals to be made with just one coupon. It just means more trips.

There are many people on here that show what they are getting and most are not stacking so it is very doable! I am just wondering if there will be anymore printables coming out soon.

I have never received $/$$ on crt, actually I have never received a crt. How do you get these?

I used to be the only one at my store. But the christmas clearance had people in this area going into stores they didn't normally go into. I saw it happen in mine, I was actually there chatting with the staff when a woman came in, filled 2 carts to the brim. SO full that as she walked she was losing stuff out the sides. She checked out using a TON of coupons and got everything for just a few dollars. I knew then I was in trouble and my days were numbered.

The manager today said that he had a lady come in last week with a binder that had at least 40 EC cards in it. Filled up several carts, did several transactions at once and didn't pay more than $.65 per transaction. He said that at the meeting there was a lot of talk about which ladies go to which stores and do what.

I am sad that behavior like that has caused this. I have never been against stacking or super stacking, just doing it under the radar. And on a very limited bases. But several carts, several transactions and that low of an OOP every time is just asking for management to look into the transactions.

There is nothing that can be done now...I won't risk someone's job for an extra coupon.

All I ever get are $10/$50 and I have a few saved up so I will be using those. I will also probably do the fabric softener $1 ECB even though it is $2.99 ~ I'll get 3 and a few bags of pretzels and use a $3/$10 CVS brand, they will still cost me a little even after the $3 off and the $3 ECB's ~ but it will help get my total up to use the $10/$50 and I can use the sheets. The one kind I bought Saturday night when they were $1.99 has a lint repellent in it which seems cool.

Honestly, I am a bit relieved that the printables have stopped for a bit ~ I never had a problem using 1 per order (and I never do more than 1 order per store, per day) but I felt a little weird using them this last round with all the hub-bub!

I've been a cvs aholic here the last week. And every time I've been in the stores. I see this same lady. Shopping all 3 stores. I only went to the 2nd one to find the diabetes meter. But she has this binder too and tons of coupons and always a cart full. I always leave before her. But I'm sure she's shopping with many cards and coupons.

I got 1 crt and none since.
