The Basics of CVS Shopping!

The Basics of CVS Shopping!

CVS is by far my favorite drug store to coupon shop at!

First of all sign up for your CVS Extracare care HERE!

{I recommend getting a CVS Extracare card in store that way you can enjoy immediate savings}

After you receive your card make sure you sign up for an account at CVS.com

Upon signing up you should receive a coupon valid for $4.00 off a $20.00 CVS Purchase.  This $20.00 purchase amount is before any coupons are applied.

Next, Everytime you go shopping at CVS Scan your CVS Extracare card at the Red Kiosk Machine {This will print out CVS Coupons}

*CVS Coupons can be combined with manufacturer Coupons!*

With every purchase at CVS Make sure you have your CVS Extracare card ready to be scanned, I also highly recommend using a reusable tote and getting a Green bag tag

*A green bag tag is a green leaf that you can attach to any reusable tote, I just attach mine to my keychain.  Price: $0.99

Every 4th time you get your green bag tag scanned you earn $1.00 ECB

ECB = Extra Care Bucks

ECB can be used on anything in the store except for prescriptions, alcohol, gift cards, lottery, money orders, postage stamps, pre paid cards and tobacco products.

Couponing is all about challenges!

You are allowed to roll Extra Care Bucks to get the same deal more than once as long as there is not a limit of 1.

Example:

Transaction #1

Revlon Nail Polish @ $4.99

Use $1.00/1 Revlon Color Cosmetics Coupon {8/14 SS}

Pay: $3.99

Get back $3.00 Extra Care Bucks

So you will be paying $3.99 out of your pocket and at the bottom of your receipt you will get $3.00 Extra Care Bucks.

Now, let's roll that $3.00 Extra Care Bucks for more savings.

Transaction #2

Revlon Nail Polish @ $4.99

Use $1.00/1 Revlon Color Cosmetics Coupon {8/14 SS}

Use $3.00 ECB from transaction #2

Pay: $0.99 OOP {out of pocket}

Get back $3.00 ECB

That's a profit of $2.01
