We all love CVS! What a great way to get lots of free items. How I love free toothpaste, deodorant, and beauty items, don’t you? I want each of you to get the most from your extracare card so I thought I would make sure that you were aware of these tips that have helped me add to my savings and get more free items.
1. Scan your Extracare Card as you enter the store. Coupons usually print out. These are store coupons so you can combine them with a manufacturer coupon for added savings. You can also check HERE for store coupons.
2. Make sure you go HERE to register your extracare card, especially be sure to register your e-mail address. I have often gotten $5.00 off $20.00 coupons e-mailed to me, sometimes weekly. Make sure to check the expiration date on these coupons. They usually last only 3 days or so. This has really helped me get much needed items for free like milk and paper towels. And remember, you just have to get up to $20 before coupons! Lastly, always remember to give the $5.00 off $20 coupon FIRST before your other coupons to maximize your savings.
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..
LOVE CVS!!!
I saved 85% there this week.
spent $5.96, and saved $33.50!!!
fyi…. i went to print the cheerios coupon at the cvs site…………and it is a manufacturer coupon not a store coupon. often i have found it is hard to tell whether manufacturer or store until you print….. still good deals regardless!!
and make sure you scan your leaf tag! it’s the tag you can buy there (I think it’s 99 cents) and you attach it to a reusable shopping bag. always bring your bag! every 4th scan, you get $1 ECB. amazing!
