What did I do wrong with these CVS coupons?! (See photos)

11 Upvotes

So I had a bunch of CVS coupons I wanted to use. I added three items to my digital cart to make sure I could use all the coupons together and the checkout indicated that, yes, these coupons would be applied. I was pumped at the idea of getting $27 off my order! (See the first three photos)

I could have placed that online order, but I needed to run errands today anyway so I went to CVS in person to avoid shipping fees; I also didn’t want to place a pick-up order because I wanted to smell the all the Native deodorant options before buying.

(Final two photos) When I bought these three same items in person, only the Native coupon, the $10 off 30 Beauty/Personal Care coupon, and my extra bucks applied to the order. My two $5 and $6 off $20 coupons no longer applied; I would have understood they weren’t stackable, but no, neither applied. The final price of my order doubled from what the mobile app told me it would be. I still made the purchase but I was grumpy about it.

Was it just a glitch that all these coupons applied to my test order on the app? Or does the app stack coupons differently than the in-person store? I feel like I’ve gotten similar big coupon stacks before but maybe I’m misunderstanding something in this case. TIA!

Why do people act like using coupons and taking advantage of sales is lame or makes you “cheap”?

129 Upvotes

I don’t mean the extreme couponing kind. I mean if you go to a store and there is a 30% coupon off your whole order and all you have to do is clip it, why do people mock this? If a store is offering you $5 off an item you’re already going to buy, why wouldn’t you use this? For pride? Why is it looked down on to actually try and save money? Why is it “cool” to piss away money? I make decent money where I don’t need to coupon or look for sales, but I still do because every dollar I save there is something I can either invest or buy something more fun with.

I don’t get the American mentality that pissing away your money is cool and that trying to save above certain income brackets means you’re somehow cheap or poor-at-heart.

Discussion Question about Meijer coupon and how it works?

Post image
0 Upvotes

I usually use digital clipped coupons, I don't often get sent physical ones from Meijer that I cant scan into the app.

Because it says limit one coupon per transaction, and it says not to be combined with with other discounts, and it ALSO says excludes clearance, would this only be useful on a transaction with no in store discounts, mark downs, or clippable in app coupons?

If I had excluded items in the transaction in store, does it invalidate the $10 off coupon? Or does it just not add towards the $50 minimum to use it?

Discounted Meat

3 Upvotes

I've noticed that when I shop, typically at Market Basket, I find that I am able to secure some discounted ground beef, and sometimes chicken, sporadically if I visit in the evening.

I'm wondering if anyone else has noticed grocery stores doing this, and if there's a science to timing it right to reduce the cost of groceries. Obviously, these are oftentimes product that will be going bad soon, so I just freeze what I buy.

Pharmacy Discount Program ?

Hey, so I would prefer to go to Albertsons over Walgreens but at Walgreens they have a savings finder for discounts on certain medications.

Does something like this exist at Albertsons that I can use ?

Discussion Vevor promo code

4 Upvotes

Anyone know if Vevor still does promo codes for first time buyers? I'm trying to get a pressure washer and maybe a small welder for my garage setup and the prices add up fast once you throw shipping in. I checked their site and there's a discount banner but it wants an email signup and I don't want more spam in my inbox if I can avoid it.

Does anyone have a working code or know a better way to get some money off, like through a browser extension or something?

walgreens RR confusion

4 Upvotes

might be a dumb question but I have started couponing again after being out of the game for a while. I noticed some of my RR at walgreens state specific things. for example I have one for va $5 off “your next laundry care or household needs purchase of $5 or more”.
does this mean i can only use it on laundry supplies from p&g?
how do I know which items will qualify or not? was hoping to stock up on paper goods this week as i’m actually quite stocked on laundry but just a little confused on this. any advice is much appreciated!

Vitacost changes discounts since it's purchase by iherb

2 Upvotes

I used to buy all my vitamins and collagen powder from Vitacost(Kroger owned). It was sold to iHerb holdings.

I received an email for a 30% off sale on everything. I ordered a bunch of things, but after checking out I discovered that 30% had a maximum amount of $10. My bad, I didn't notice that under the graphic which took up 3/4 of the email was a notice that said the maximum discount was $10, very unlike Vitacost, which had no limit. A lesson to look for the fine print, especially when a business changes hands.

I'm thinking about adding SFAC to my browser, so I read up on what it does. It says it safes you money by applying coupons. That reminded me of Honey and how it turned out to be a scam. Can anyone tell me more?

Info Pampers Rewards fiasco

15 Upvotes

Just a warning and heads up to Moms & Dads using the Pampers Rewards who also use EBT or WIC. **PAY FOR THE DIAPERS SEPARATELY!!!!**

I tried to use it today while grocery shopping. The plan like always is to use WIC, EBT and then my debit card for diapers. Every store I’ve gone to lets me check out everything at once without separating… but the Pampers Reward App to get the coupon is so convoluted that the grocery store couldn’t do multiple payments.

I panicked and payed the whole thing on my debit card but once I calmed myself down in the car, everyone at the store was super helpful. I had to do a refund of everything just to be able to use WIC…….

So again- DIAPERS SEPARATE WHEN USING PAMPER COUPON WHEN USING WIC/EBT!!

Kroger Best Customer coupons disappeared

7 Upvotes

Hello!
First post here but thought this community would be experienced. Yesterday I discovered all of my remaining Kroger Best Customer coupons for free items (over ten coupons) had disappeared from my app account, despite the Aug 2 expiration date. The ones for X cents off remain.
Of course the Kroger AI chat was useless and after an “all agents are busy” message, was left stuck. No answer to customer service email.

Has anyone else had this happen? Any recourse?
Thanks in advance!

Just a quick question for all of you. Have you ever had CVS coupons disappear after clipping them in the CVS app? I got this 10 off fifa branded DOVE MEN deodorant and it said it was valid until 07/26 but then after I closed the cvs app it disappeared. Is there anything I can do to get it back? I also checked online and it wasn't there.

Will my printed coupons work for others?

10 Upvotes

I take advantage of the printed coupons Kroger mails me every month or so based on my past purchases but occasionally I have no use for some. I now distribute my unused coupons throughout the store near said items. I don’t want to cause confusion and waste others time (including mine). Will these cause an error for others (accounts) or will they still scan to benefit others?

Info Stolen coupon

7 Upvotes

I got one of those welcome to the neighborhood coupon packs (don’t remember what company sent it so I don’t know who to contact about this) and it contained a coupon from dominos for a FREE large two topping pizza from dominos no other purchases needed.. one of the best coupons I’ve gotten and someone stole it from me, I hit a weight loss goal and had been craving pizza so safe to say it really IS that big of a deal to me as petty as it may seem that I’m holding onto this loss 😝 can anyone name some of the brands that do this kind of a thing so maybe I can contact a customer service rep and get a replacement 🙏🏻

Looking to help a customer

11 Upvotes

Hello everyone, I work at a locally owned retailer that sells Carbliss pre canned cocktails.
Long story short I can’t just give discounts, not being a manager, but can use legitimate coupon codes from manufacturers etc. looking for anything I could use.

The other night, one of the nicest sweetest customers we see regularly came in and got 3 variety packs. She called about an hour later and said that one of the flavors in each pack tasted skunked and the others weren’t as bad but still a bit off.
She just wanted to let us know in case it affected others in the cooler, she was not looking for a refund or discount or anything. Just wanted to inform us.
I took a look in the cooler and while there is no explicit expiration date on them, they all have a manufacturing date of March of last year, 14 months ago, or one that was October, 9 months ago.
After a quick google it sounds like they are typically okay for 6 months to a year based on the sugar in them as long as they are stored properly.
They were delivered to us by our supplier only about a month ago. The manger contacted supplier who claims they are good for up to 2 years and considers it basically a fake report. However earlier this year we rejected a delivery of expired beer with clear expired dates by a few weeks which they owned up to.

Basically my hands are tied in doing anything for her without a coupon code, it just has to be written on the receipt not actually typed in to redeem but it does need to check out later on to be given credit. Any help would be appreciated. This customer is genuinely one of the nicest, most understanding and pleasant regulars that we have, so I just want to try doing some right by her.

Hi - living in Europe and being a Swabian (known for saving money), I stumbled upon extreme couponing videos some years ago.

I lately developed an app in this field, mainly from a European perspective and now I am wondering if couponing is still big in the US.

Love to hear your perspective on that (especially if you are living in the US).

I have to purchase something for my home totaling $650.00 and I'm trying to purchase it with discounted gift cards. I see DG has lowes cards for 10% off and CVS has 20eb back on $100.00. Anyone else running a deal I'm not aware of right now?
