CVS's coupon policy:
CVS/pharmacy strives to make it easy for our customers to use coupons to cut costs on health, beauty and household expenses.
· Your local CVS/pharmacy store will accept one store coupon and one manufacturer coupon per item purchased, as long as relevant conditions are met (e.g. expiration dates, limits, terms, etc.)
· When an item is on sale for “Buy one, get one free” and the customer has a “Buy one, get one free” coupon for that same product, the coupon will be accepted and both items will essentially become free (plus any applicable sales tax). Two manufacturer coupons can be used on a “Buy one, get one free” purchase as long as two items are scanned at the register.
· In addition, customers may use ExtraBucks rewards earned through the ExtraCare program to stack their savings along with coupons and sales.
· CVS/pharmacy will accept coupons printed from the Internet. They must have a legible barcode that scans at the register. CVS/pharmacy will not accept offers printed from unauthorized internet postings or reproductions, copies, or facsimiles.
· Regarding coupons presented on smart phones and mobile devices: CVS/pharmacy is exploring greener options for the future, but at this time, paper copies of coupons are required to redeem them.
· CVS/pharmacy does not accept competitors’ coupons on front store items.
· As a courtesy, competitor's coupons on new or transferred prescription drugs are generally accepted at CVS/pharmacy; however, for individual questions about specific coupons, customers are encouraged to speak with the store manager or call 1-800-SHOP-CVS.
Regarding the coupons ExtraCare cardholders receive via email:
· CVS/pharmacy understands that consumers are looking for great deals online and we encourage our customers to share stories and tips for savvy shopping with one another. However, many of the coupons and special offers ExtraCare members receive are not general promotions that can be shared, forwarded or linked to other offers.
· When special ExtraCare offers and email alerts are issued to a select group of cardholders, these offers are only valid with the ExtraCare cards that belong to offer recipients. These offers will state this in the disclaimer language.
Rite Aid Store Policy
General Guidelines:
They will only accept one coupon on a B1G1 sale item. You can stack manufacturer coupon's with up to two Rite Aid coupons (1 "48" and 1 "49").
Their Up rewards are treated just like cash, except for their exclusions which include: can't be used towards tax, can not use towards purchase of alcohol or tabacco, etc. See the reward for exact exclusions, but basically you can use it just like cash to pay for your purchases before any applicable taxes. Example if you purchase shampoo for 2.99 and wanted to use a 3.00 up reward you would not be able to do that even though your total due would be the 2.99 plus tax.

Walgreens Policy:
Here are some general guidelines to remember when using coupons at Walgreens:
You can only have as many coupon's as you do items in each transaction, and they treat their register rewards as a coupon. So here is an example: if you have 2 items and have a coupon for each, you could not use a register reward to pay for any of the balance. You would have to purchase another item with out a copon in order to use that reward towards your amount due.
They will accept one manufacturer coupon and one walgreen coupon on the same item, as long as neither coupon restricts stacking.
On a B1G1 promotion, you can use up to two coupons, or a B1G1 coupon. As long as the total does not go under zero you won't have any issues. And remember here in NY we have to pay tax on items at their selling price not on the final price!
Price Chopper's Coupon Policy:
Price chopper now doubles all manufacturer coupons up to .99, so if you have a coupon for .50 off 1 item you will end up saving 1.00 off that item at price chopper. Here is the catch, they will double coupons up to 50% of your original total, after that all coupons will be dedcuted at face value. They will ony accept 4 like coupons in the same transaction. And they are getting fairly strict with their coupon policy.
