I usually try to "lay low" when it comes to CVS. I usually visit between 1 and 3 CVS stores on weekdays but there are so many around me that I can make 12 or more trips in a week and only visit each one once.

So Friday I needed some things so I stopped at CVS:

24 pk CVS water
3 Perrier
4 M&M's
2 EOB items
2 CVS Tylenol
1 CVS pretzels

I actually ended up down a few $ in ECB's since I used more than I earned back. But I needed the water & snack for a party.

So I leave and about 20 minutes later I get a voice mail from a friend and she wanted to know how I got all that stuff at CVS for $.52! She said the cashier was still talking about how I always get such awesome deals and how she needs to learn to do it. Now this cashier I have given coupons to on several occasions and she is very thankful for them. Her mom also works at the same CVS and I always help her out with what the deals are and extra coupons if I have them. Her mom said I was an inspiration and she even brought in her coupon organizer to show me and told me all about a grocery trip where she saved over 60%!

Now a different friend (who I just got started on CVS this week with the monitor deal!) was in the same CVS later that day. She got beer, cigarettes, diapers and some other stuff and she had used the monitor ECB's so she ended up paying $8. The cashier said how great she did and my friend says "yah, my friend is trying to teach me, she is really good at it!" And the cashier says "does she have long blonde hair?" and they proceeded to describe me to each other!

so much for laying low! Oh well, summer is coming and with the kids home I won't get out shopping much anyway!

Sounds like a good reputation to have!

True ~ but it was just odd having a friend call and know how much I spent OOP and another friend tell me the cashier described me as the "coupon lady".

Maybe you need to cut and color your hair. Go incognito!

They call me the coupon lady at my CVS and I am only there once a week!

Sounds like you got a good deal, but I agree, it would weird me out if people knew what I had spent before I even told them.

It sounds good,i talks and chat with my cvc cashier at both stores and i share q,.They work there and do not know the deal.

I try to lay low too MJ~~shopping between 5 or 6 CVS stores but there are a few that always make comments about how i WOW them every time. Just when you think cashiers aren't really paying attention!!!

It's hard to lay low when DD's bf is your CVS cashier's grandson. How is that for a really small world?

missyo and I go to the same CVS- and when I go in they tell me your neighbor was here earlier- she got...... and compare it to my order! It is funny. One day I got home and asked her how she enjoyed her ice cream- She was rather confused till I explained to her what had happened!

At least you aren't known as the 'bag' lady like I am at a couple of my stores. I have always taken my own bags, so that's me. I really thought I'd be much older before I became a bag lady in the park.

I try to lay low because I only have one CVS near me- I only go once a week and don't try to make waves. But two weeks ago I knocked over one of those big clearance barrels next to the registers up front- hand sanitizer flying everywhere. Then I try to help by putting them back and proceed to break the barrel!

That's great! What a great rep to have!
