As you may have noticed lately, stores are really starting to crack down on fraudulent coupons. My local CVS has really cracked down. I received a couple emails yesterday regarding this and last night when I stopped in to do the Gillette Body Wash deal, I was able to get more specifics.
My store is no longer accepting printable coupons. The only printable coupons they are accepting are the ones with CVS logos on them. Beyond that, each and every printable coupon will be turned away. Why are they doing this? Because too many people are giving bogus coupons. As a reminder, if a coupon seems too good to be true (i.e. FREE, extra high value, from a pdf file) then it is probably fraudulent. Also, my CVS is cracking down on Extra Care Cards. Each household should have no more than one Extra Care card per household.
**Note that this coupon policy change may vary from store to store. I would recommend that when you stop into your local CVS, before you start shopping, ask what your store’s policy is.
Thanks for coming to Addicted to Saving! Here’s a little bit about me so you can know who’s behind all these posts!
My name is Liza and I began my money-saving journey in the Spring of 2009 as a way to stretch a limited household income. I had lost my job and my hubby was self-employed. I launched Addicted to Saving in November of 2009 and it has grown by leaps and bounds. Since then, my hubby and I have struggled with the ups and downs of two failed adoptions and are now LOVING being parents to our little man Asher who we brought home from Ethiopia in August of 2013. I feel incredibly blessed to be able to help you save money. My goal is that you will have FUN and become empowered to save more and more money each week..
