CVS Info:

First of all, you will need a CVS ExtraCare card. This is obtained easily at any store at the register. Some will ask you to fill out the form then and there, others will just give you the card and ask you to return the form later.

Once you have the card, you can now start CVSing

The biggest thing to understand is that CVS uses a promotional program called "ExtraCare Bucks" (commonly abbreviated as ECBs.) These print out on your receipt immediately once you purchase an item offering them; almost like an instant-rebate you get at the register. You can turn around and use them anytime on almost anything in the store, except for alcohol, cigarettes, and gift cards.

Often, CVS advertises items as "Free after ECB" – For example, throughout the month of November, CVS has Crest Pro Health Whitening Toothpaste in 4.2 oz size, for free after ECB. The cost is $3.49, but you get $3.49 back instantly on your receipt. The best part is that there are often coupons available that can actually help you earn money… like for the above toothpaste, there are $1 off coupons available, meaning the item would be $2.49, but you get $3.49 in ECBs back. The limit on this toothpaste for this month is 2. So if you wanted to start off small to get into CVSing, the thing to do would be to buy one toothpaste in the first transaction (and use a coupon if you have one, so that you either pay $3.49 or $2.49 in cash), then use the $3.49 ECBs you get back from that first transaction to pay for the second tube of toothpaste, and again, receive $3.49 more in ECBs.

The trick now is to roll your ECBs so that you rarely pay more than maybe a dollar or two in tax on transactions, instead using your ECBs from previous transactions… then earning more to keep doing the same. It's a cycle (and a game/addiction to some, lol.)

Today is a weird day already; emotionally draining. Blah. I want a do-over. Perhaps I should even throw a nap into that do-over.

AW!!!

Quote from BrgnHntr :
Rhys is quickly becoming the most annoying little doggie ever! If he weren't so stinking cute... He's chewing on his new toy, right at the edge of their crate (they like to hang out on top of their crate next to me)... so being right at the edge, he keeps dropping it over and over and over... and then looks at me all sweet to get it for him.
If you stop getting it, he'll stop doing it. Harhar Wait until the BABY learns that. All SORTS of fun.

I don't think I've ever seen either of those. Where do you get them?
I am still sore today, but I walked. I'll do arms later.

Went to Walmart and Subway. Now I'm just waiting for Jack to get off of the bus.

Ummm they pay people to plan and cook every meal and people to make them work out and plastic surgeons and some one to go poopy for them. Roll

Yes, mostly. : lol: But the twerps go to the Methodist day school down the road. They do a great preschool program and I would have to sell LT to get BT into the Catholic school. : annoyed:



Amen, sister... I hate having to buy large shirts to accommodate the boobies. Makes me look fatter than I feel. Frown

I went to safeway tonight and they wouldn't take my pace coupons! Mad

The stupid manager said they have to be printed in color and can't be for more than half the value of the item. I'm thinking if I have to use my color ink to use coupons there and can never use the good ones, I'll start shopping at TOP or QFC! Ranting



But...later I did go to Target. Got 3 pace things for $6.26 and got $12 off from 3 coupons! Whee Helped pay for my new undies... and the cute little cheerleading outfit that I may have gotten Emma... Hide
Quote from BrgnHntr :
He said it's "what all stores were told by corporate."



It does sound like that. I already plan to write to corporate and complain. I have a closer Safeway that I usually shop at that I'll try them at, too.
Supervisor was full of shit. I shop at Von's which is a Safeway store and have had no problems redeeming that coupon.

I try to go with the least amount of beeps though. If I have a big coupon order I don't mind beeps since the cashier most like just wants to get through my stack. Teehee

Your son will be born on my berfday! How cool is that! As to the Biofreeze, that stuff is awesome, but it became harder and harder to come by, so we started using Salonpas patches instead, and they are incredible!

Bengay doesn't smell GOOD. laugh out loud I didn't see any when I was at Walmart today, but I wasn't really looking for it, so I can't say it isn't there.

No, just painful. Embarrassment My other issues are trying to act up today, too, so I can't even pinpoint what's going on.
BioFreeze or Arnica Gel or Arnica Cream FTW!

That sounds like a load of crap. What if you had a "Free Item" coupon? Plus, not everyone has color printers! Or can afford to print all those coupons in color! laugh out loud
Quote from redjen910 :
Yeah that does seem like a "I just pulled these rules out of my butt" kind of statement. No company I know of limits the value to 50%
Iagree I would complain to corporate (and hopefully get something for my troubles) Roll

laugh out loud We do that too, and make sure to hand them the coupons in a specific order. Wink

I know many chiropractic offices carry it. I get it from my FIL who buys it in bulk for his patients. I think my DH might have said he saw it at our CVS, but not positive.

I thought about what if you have a freebie coupon as well. I do not like managers that make it up as they go along.

Belt & coupon order to match FTW!!!

Oh and they do sell Biofreeze at CVS [cvs.com].

I'm back from my salon trip! Whee

Got my manicure/pedicure/brow wax and shampoo/cut/style. Rock I was scared out of my mind during the haircut, but it turned out cute! Note to self: Bring a translator next time or find someone in the lounge to translate "Long layers only, please" to Vietnamese for me. The lady used a razor on my hair. I was like this during the cut: Bigeye But it's really cute! Girly
