It reads "Buy and 3 (Listerine or Reach Products), get $3.00 off. This is my scenario: Buy (1) Listerine $3.99 Buy (2) Reach Dental Floss $3.99 Use (1) $1/1 Listerine Use (1) BOGO Reach Dental Floss Use $3.00 CVS coupon Pay $3.98 OOP Get $4.00 ECB Final=FREE after ECB I found a store coupon on the CVS website yesterday. It reads “Buy and 3 (Listerine or Reach Products), get $3.00 off.
This is my scenario:
Buy (1) Listerine $3.99
Buy (2) Reach Dental Floss $3.99
Use (1) $1/1 Listerine
Use (1) BOGO Reach Dental Floss
Use $3.00 CVS coupon
Pay $3.98 OOP
Get $4.00 ECB
Final=FREE after ECB

This may one of those odd situations where we couponers say "YMMV" or Your Mileage May Vary. It might work at a different CVS, but it might not. :( Hmmm.

I have seen (and even taken to the store) that coupon policy. My store says that when the store is the one offering the BOGO then you can use either a BOGO coupon (making them both free) or you can use a $ off 2 or two $ off 1 coupons. However, when the customer creates a BOGO with a BOGO coupon, that coupon is requiring you to buy the first one in order to get the second one free. So, using another $ off coupon would be using two coupons on the same item? That is why they tell me it beeps and that I can't do this. Maybe I need to find a different CVS store?

Official CVS corporate coupon policy states that they will accept 2 coupons on a BOGO offer. Sounds like your store is unaware of the policy. I have never had an issue with this type of stacking. You might try talking to the manager or talking to the regional corporate manager for further clarification.

Mine does not. Thanks. For your Reach Floss scenario, does your store let you stack a BOGO coupon with a $ off one coupon when you buy two items? Mine does not. Thanks.
