Me and CVS just don't get along

Some of you may wonder why I don't publish the CVS deals on my blog...

Let me tell you why that is. First off, I personally do not like CVS anymore. The people that work in the stores around me are all rude, and have a serious attitude problem as soon as they see a coupon in your hand. The stores around where I live scrutinize the coupons and then try to make up reasons why I cannot do the deal I'm trying to do.

There was a sale a few weeks ago where the Covergirl foundation was on sale B1G1 free. I also had a B1G1 free coupon to pair up with the sale. Knowing good and well that the store I planned to go to would hassle me about this, I called the corporate office to confirm they would take the coupon with the sale. They told me that they would and if I had any problems to have the store call them.

After I go through the store, and picked out what I wanted, the games had begun. I went to the counter armed with my coupons and verbal ammo and the cashier fought back like I was trying to take her first born! Finally the manager came to the front and she told me that aside from "You cannot use a B1G1 free coupon with our sale", "You don't even have the right products".

I kid you not, I went back and forth picking out new foundation 3 times before it satisified the manager. Then she tells me again, "You cannot use your coupons when there is a B1G1 sale too". I told her I called corporate, and they said I could. She then looked me in the eye and said I was lying! She called corporate in front of me and told them what I was trying to do in a terrible tone of voice. After a couple minutes, I could see her facial expression change to a look of anger toward me. She hung up the phone, rang up my stuff, literally threw it in the bag, and sharply told me to have a nice day.

On a different note, I used to post the CVS deals. That was, until I received an email from them telling me that I had voilated their copyright terms.

Since those 2 incidents happened, I barely shop at CVS. The only time I do, is when I have extrabucks I need to use. You may wonder how I get them if I do not really shop there?

Well on occasion, I transfer a rx there and get a gift card, or I earn them by taking surveys for their Advisor Panel. Click here if you would like to sign up. I just completed a survey and after October 10th, I will have $10 ecb's available to use. On occasion I will redeem some of my MyPoints for a CVS gift card.

I am a Walgreen's gal these days, sorry CVS.
