During the two day Memorial Day sale on 5/25 and 26 CVS will offer Sierra Mist 2L Bottles BOGO. Use these manufacturer coupons to pay for one and get both free! (YMMV on cashier refusing if BOGO, but usually they accept as long as you have two bottles per coupon)
Coupon good on regular and diet varieties. Two print outs per computer yields four free bottles. AGAIN MAY 25 and 26th ONLY!!
ubquiet said: because you have to buy one to get one, therefore technically you should get 4, pay for two and get one free with couponTechnically, you are wrong.
Ad states LIMIT 5, which should mean 10 bottles total per order on the BOGO sale. The BOGO only runs 2 days, after Monday, price jumps to $1 per 2 liter bottle.

The B1G1F 2 day sale clearly states limit 4 (I have the ad in front of me).

so is that limit 4 bottles or limit 4 offers? guessing 4 bottles, so only 2 bogos coupons and 4 bottles per transaction.

Personally, I don't see any reason to chance it, just do two different transactions, unless you are desparate to do a $15 or $20 transaction to use a coupon.

coupon rejected by a cashier, stating that they are already on sale with BOGO.

That is ridiculous. I would have asked for a manager.

mtnmamamj said: That is ridiculous. I would have asked for a manager. Agreed. It worked for me. Unfortunately, their regular price was $1.89 and the coupon said maximum $1.69. So after the cashier had entered $1.89 for both of my coupons, she decided that she had to fix it and could not manage to remove the coupons so she had to void the order and start over again (with the obligatory few minutes while she went to look for the manager to do the void).
Then the Revlon coupons were beeping when scanned (we also bought the nail polish), which was very strange. Fortunately since I was using one of the $1 coupons from April which had a picture of nail polish on it (and said "or any color cosmetic" as the recent $2 coupons also said) she agreed to enter it, but for some reason waited to ask the manager before entering the 3rd one. He agreed that she should accept it. I then paid with an expired ECB (not sure how I managed to forget to use it but she accepted it) and somehow a discount came off at the very end and I ended up with a negative amount, which I had to get rid of by buying some M&M's.
I had 2 more B1G1 coupons but decided not to bother with them after all that hassle. BTW the limit is definitely 4 bottles, the register receipt clearly showed "limit 2" for the B1G1F.

She first said that it is on sale BOGO, so I can not use this coupon. I told her this is manufacture coupon, should be combined with CVS sale. Then she said this is photocopy coupon so I can not use it. I then asked if she knows anything about internet coupon. She asked her manager and came back said I can use this coupon, but should buy one more. I was really angry and just left that store. I went to another store and got the deal without any problem.

Have you ever just started randomly handing coupons to a cashier for products you did not buy... guess what, it works but is still wrong. Chill, dude, nobody's getting sent to hell for using a Pepsico coupon to obtain a Pepsi product. You also won't go to hell for using a Diet Coke coupon to get a Regular Coke. With the billions of cans & bottles that get moved, a few near misses on the coupons wont hurt anyone.
Of course, i was not really considering the act of going to hell in my reply.
Simply put, I was indicating that it is pointless to ask if anyone has tried. Do it, and be done with it. Frankly a retailer could care less what coupons you use, they get paid simply for presenting a coupon and invoices indicating that they the retailer has purchased the quantity to cover redemption.
However, the fact remains that it is wrong... and therefore why bother to ask if anyone has done it.
Again, have you ever used a coupon for an item you did not purchase? Did it work? Does that make it ok?

Since my local CVS didn't have Sierra Mist Free and I didn't want regular, I took two bottles of Diet Pepsi to the cashier and politely asked if I could use my Sierra Mist coupon since they were all the same brand of soda. He basically said, no problem as long as it scanned correctly, and I was on my merry way...
Has anyone seen Sierra Mist Free at CVS, though?

Tu, not to kick a dead horse, but as i see it, do i buy one at cvs price get one free,as per ad, plus using coupon for additonal free one, thus buy 1 geting 2 free for a total of 3 for price of one?
grechen said: Tu, not to kick a dead horse, but as i see it, do i buy one at cvs price get one free, as per ad, plus using coupon for additional free one, thus buy 1 getting 2 free for a total of 3 for price of one?No, that is not correct. Try again. And once you're buying 3, it would be really stupid not to buy a 4th since CVS would give it to you for free.

But we don't drink enough soda to make it worth paying for (even 20c for 2 bottles) since they were only going to give me $1.69 per coupon.
billrubin said: I know. But we don't drink enough soda to make it worth paying for (even 20c for 2 bottles) since they were only going to give me $1.69 per coupon.I'm sure you could have donated it to someone.
BTW, I was pointing out the per transaction vs. per card limit for the benefit of everyone.
Well....I sure did! I used this coupon at my grocery store on two Pepsi's. It scanned like perfection. I bought one and got one free.
The actual price was 99 cent each. I saw computer read out for her to write down $1.69 on the coupon and so she did. Since they don't expire until 6/15........ I'll be doing a little more shopping before they go off sale.
I think we all made out pretty good. Sierra Mist is a Pepsi product from where I come from.
The ad here in SoCal only says sale dates 25th to 31st for the Pepsi BOGO deal. I looked over and over and couldn't find the 25th-26th only wording, or the $1 sale price for afterwards. Also, for some unknown reason, the cash register only took one of my two BOGO coupons. The cashier told me the register wouldn't take it even though they have different ids. I bought 4 Sierra Mist Free, BTW.

My CVS had no more Sierra Mist and the manager just let me get whatever I wanted....I will actually go exchange them for Sierra Mist when they get them in... the first cpn scanned with no problem, but the second, he had to override and put in 1.69.
elizabethmaia said: Also, for some unknown reason, the cash register only took one of my two BOGO coupons. The cashier told me the register wouldn't take it even though they have different ids.

Also, the register would not see the generatd coupon id (and wouldn't know what to do with it anyway) so that would have nothing to do with not accepting a second one.
