My CVS Trip 1/29




I made 2 trips to CVS to my deals and the first one didnt turn out as well as I would have like.  First, CVS has changed the cash card deals. It used to be that you had to spend $30 BEFORE coupons and now it is AFTER coupons. I had no clue that this changed because it didnt say it in the ad so I was surprised to find out then I went to do my first transaction and it didnt print my receipt for the cash card. Then because I was so flustered from trying to figure out what else to buy to get to my $30 total I forgot to use one of my coupons on the next deal. Then when I went back later in the morning to get my papers and coupons I forgot to grab all of my extra bucks and only grabbed $1 in extra bucks!  UGHH!  But I got it all figured out and was able to finish my next transactions.  I had a gift card and extra bucks to start my so that helped keep my totals down.

  2. it was the shift manager at my store. i guess i should call corp and verify but that is how the register was ringing everything up too. it counted the total after coupons. )= however i havent heard of anybody else saying that this was the case this week for them. but it has never been like that for me on the past deals.
