I'm new to this and if you're willing to share the information with me, it would give me quite the head start.

I'm not sure if all CVS stores will take expired store coupons, but it is worth asking! Thanks for the additional tips! Deb, good advice about rainchecks!

(Keep your ad) also ask for the maximum allowed per customer on your rain check and continue to look for Mfg. coupons while you wait for your items to come in! it's worth your time!

You don't have to scan your card, but it is great to do it to see if you happen to get a coupon for something you need/want. I've gotten $/$$ coupons before ($5 off when you spend $20 or something similar). If you can't find the kiosk, I would just ask one of the cashiers if they have one if their store. Hope this helps!

Is there a kiosk at every CVS store? Is that what I’m supposed to do BEFORE I begin shopping? Thank you!

Does this help? let me know if you have more questions!

Are those just things that you wanted to buy or do you need to buy several items to make the coupons work? I'm looking at the 3 Pepsi 12 packs 3/$11 -B2G1 Pepssi printable, " a couple filler" -$6.49=change, get $2 for next week.
