CVS
I’m really excited about my CVS trip this week! I don’t have a low OOP because I picked up the Eucerin for my mommy. It’s her favorite lotion and she usually spends over $10 per bottle. Crazy, I know! My mom will be reimbursing me for the Eucerin, so my actual OOP will be $0.
Also, remember to pick up those rain checks. I was able to get a couple freebies that were sold out a couple weeks ago.

Walgreen’s
I had a difficult trip to Walgreen’s this week. The cashier called the manager over because she didn’t want to adjust my $8 Dulcolax coupon down. I had to literally bite my lip when the manager kept saying it was coupon fraud and Walgreen’s would be changing their corporate policy very soon. Yada, yada. If I didn’t have 2 little girls with me and a line behind me, the manager and I would have had a little chat. She adjusted the coupon, but it wasn’t a smooth transaction. I will note that I have not seen the cashier or manager at that location before today. Okay, on to my trip

Walgreens now has a corporate coupon policy. It says they are supposed to adjust the coupon down if it exceeds the price of the item. I haven't been shopping @ Walgreens just because of this issue but Im glad they now have a coupon policy.

This was my first experience since the policy came out. She was aware of it, but was insistant that they would be changing the policy and that it was illegal.
hope everyone else has had good experiences
Dana, which CVS did you go to? I went to the one on Kempsville & Volvo (I think those are the roads) and they would not take both of the tylenol precise coupons- said the register wouldnt take them b/c they are both manufacture coupons?
I go to that CVS as well. The CVS coupon said retailer coupon on the top, not manufacturers. Did the coupon change?
