Learning CVS


Learning CVS
Another well hidden secret is CVS’s Extra Bucks program. For this program you need a card. You may go into CVS and request a card. Once you get your card you should go online and register it here  .Then every time you go to CVS you will want to scan your card at the special kiosk. When you scan your card one or more coupons will print out. These coupons are for use at CVS only. Sometimes it is dollars off a certain amount in purchases, at other times it is cents off a purchase of a specific product. You can combine these coupons with your manufacturer coupons for added savings.
CVS runs similar sales and promotions to Walgreens. However, they have a limit on how many deals you may get. Usually only one or two per card. Your card keeps track of your deals. Instead of receiving a separate catalina (or monopoly money) at CVS your Extra Bucks or ECBs print at the bottom of your receipt. Often, an additional money saving coupon might print. The good thing about ECBs is that they don’t expire as quickly as RRs.
If CVS is out of the item you are purchasing they will give you a raincheck to include the ECBs. CVS also has a little plastic leaf card that you can add to your keychain. This must be purchased. This gives you $1 in ECBs every third swipe. They will swipe this every time you bring your own bag to bag your items in.
So for CVS shopping you will need the Weekly Ad, your card and your coupons.
