As you may already know I’m a huge fan of CVS!  I start to coupon because of CVS.  Now that I’ve started to shop at other stores I’ve been curious about each of their coupon policies, which caught my attention to CVS’s coupon policy.  I haven’t found an official policy but the ones below are very standard across all of the CVS stores that I’ve been to.  If you have any questions I recommend calling CVS at 1-800 Shop CVS I’ve been very lucky and have had great customer service when I call.

Thanks to iheartcvs.com here is er1ica’s information on the CVS coupon policy.

couponing @ cvs
CVS accepts manufacturer’s coupons, including ip (internet printable) coupons. CVS also issues their own store-specific coupons. you can get these by email or printed out at the end of your receipt (these are referred to as CRT’s – cash register tape).

Both eb and CRT coupons are linked to your CVS account, which means you cannot use them without the same CVS card that earned them. it used to be that we could share email coupons, but recently that has been changing a bit. it seems most of the item coupons (like $1 off gatorade) can still be used with any extracare card. however the $$/$$ coupons (like $3 off $15 or more purchase) will beep and the cashier will receive a message that the coupon was not issued to your card.

The CVS coupon policy allows for the use of one manufacturer and one CVS coupon on the same item. often a very good deal can be had when you combine a cvs item coupon and/or a manufacturer’s coupon on an item that gives back eb’s.

CVS Coupon Basics:
*You can use one Manufacturer(MFR) coupon per item.
*You can save even more by using the coupons CVS puts out. For example, CVS emailed out a $3 off a $15 (3/15) to many customers last weekend. You work this by getting your pre-coupon total up to $15, use your 3/15, use your MFR coupons and your ECBs, then you walk out with more Free stuff.
*If you use an x/xx (2/10, 3/15, 4/20, 5/30), this is an amount off of your pre-coupon total.
*If something is on sale Buy One Get One Free (BOGO), you can use two $1 off coupons because you are getting two items.
*If something is on sale Buy One Get One Free (BOGO): buy two items, use a BOGO coupon, and get both items FREE!!!!! The sale pays for one item, and with the BOGO coupon the MFR pays for the other.
