Hi ladies, I really enjoyed seeing you two on the Extreme Couponers show. You two seem to have a lot of fun together. I have a question about CVS though. My boyfriend and I who live together want to start using CVS like you just explained but want to get separate cards so we can both take advantage of the deals and rewards, is that possible if we both have the same address? Thanks for any help.
The pharmacists at the CVS here are idiots. Too many times they only give me one prescription when really I have multiple. I say my name and they hand me one bag even though I clearly know its two. They say have a good day and I say they need to check again. Then they go "Oh sorry, you are right"
I have basically had it. It has been too many times that the pharmacists at the CVS here screw up. Next time they screw my order up, I am going to go in there and humiliate them.
I have a very serious question. I have a twin brother and we seem to be close to the same age as you two. Are you interested in a Double Saving Double Blind Date?
@LovinJae12 Yes, you can. However, we suggest you attempt to give the extra bucks back too. We believe that's the right thing to do. It's not required for you too....Some employees and managers won't accept your extra bucks and will allow you to keep your extra bucks....We let that be their decision.
This is still a little confusing, I'm a wlgreens girl so I'm new to CVS just ordered the card and waiting for it to arrive by mail. Do you get ECBs everytime u make a purchase? or is it only every 3 months?, cause thats what the website says. Basically I just don't get how I'm supposed to know WHEN I should devide my items into seperate purchases, what if I do that expecting to get ECBs to save on the rest of my stuff and I don't get anything back.
To increase your extra bucks...scan your card everytime you get a prescription filled..this adds 50 cents per prescription.... you will get it back at the end of each quater. (someone may have already said this )
i work at cvs. ur not really getting these items for free when you buy something for 3.49 and get 3.49 xtra bucks because all xtra buck sales like that have a limit of one per household so the computer will only allow u to get one "xtra buck reward". so you are essentially getting these products as buy one get one free if you use your extra buck rewards to purchase another 3.49 dollar item. i have seen people save a lot on their purchase and i give them credit. good luck in ur shopping.
It worked LOL! I went in today and purchased tea tree oil that was on sale for 5.49. I received back 2 ECB. I made a separate purchase with the ECB on a can of Salmon that was on sale for 1.99. I only paid 4cents for the can of Salmon. WOW! Thanks for sharing how to make CVS work for you!
I work for CVS and I am all about the extra buck program. The way my store does and other stores I know is that some products you can get extra bucks my only say that you can get only 1 per household. That is right for that week. If you look under the yellow tag and you see a white or a tag under it that looks like the same tag on the front. If you read the bottom of the tag it says like 5 or 6 per household. This is the monthly ad. I do not think that we put that into in the ad.
thanks for responding so quickly! please bare with me. the items i want to buy says, "extra care bucks offer limit of i per household with card. (11221674)" is this what you are talking about, the limit it gives? does this mean i can only get ECB's only once from that item. ty so much!
@WitchesHallow Yes, you are correct. If it says offer limit 2 per household, then you can purchase two and recieve ECB's for both. You can purchase more than 2. However, you will only get ECB's for 2. Hope this helps. Thanks!
could you make two separate purchases for an item that gives extra bucks or extra bucks reward and still get the extra bucks twice?? like buying the body soap in two separate transactions without using the extra bucks from the first purchase?
@WitchesHallow Each item that gives extracare bucks(ECB) lists the quanity in the ad that will allow you to get ECB's. You can purchase it separately and then use the ECB's to purchase the second one and YES you will get another ECB only if it allows more than one quanity.
This is GREAT !!! I just found a 4 dollar extra buck that would of expired on the 26th of this month !! I'm so glad I didn't throw this receipt away ! Also..I use my phn # b/c I can't find my card..how do I still get the instore coupons ?? Thnks in advance !!
@kiki1L The bucks are usually advertised in their weekly ad. If you walk down the aisles they are listed there as well. Sometimes the instore coupons prints on your receipt after you make a purchase. We usually ring our card at the red kiosk before we start shopping. But, in your case when you don't have your card they sometimes put instore coupons on your receipt .
@DoubleSavingDivas Thnx guys for your quick response !! I'm OMW to CVS now !! I'm suppa excited about my 4 dollar extra care bucks !! Thnx agn ladies for the info !
i find it so annoying to carry the bucks with me (like the receipts) because they don't fit in my wallet so i feel like i can't take full advantage of this system! any advice?? i wish it was easier...
@ilovemimes We use a flat wallet case(the one's they sell as women fashion wallets...some may even wear them as a purse clutch). Ours fit perfectly in that.
LOOOVE ur video. Im SOOO glad you did this video. Yall were very helpful. Im interested in getting a card and this video really laid out the benefits of the cvs extra bucks card. I understood everything with no confusions. so adorable. love the tips that the hard to understand website doesn't tell you. thanks. I would like to request a video on the beauty club card. Or would it be better to just have the extra care card for everything?? Is it more of a hastle to deal with two different cards??
the first time you do it, do you give them the card and then the money? Do you have to be 18 or older to apply? Can you ONLY buy the products in the book or can you buy any random thing with the bucks?
@thEycALLmiiMzZQTCiE The first time you do it you will have to spend $ out of pocket and yes give them the card too. Contact your local store and ask them if you have to be 18 yrs or older (that is a good question). You can buy anything with the bucks except, liquor, gift cards, (it is listed on the bucks).
Hey this was really informative to me, so thanks for the video! I went to my local cvs and got an extra care card but when I went online to apply for the beauty club it said my card was invalid? Do you know about that or should I talk to a cvs employee? Thanks :)
@YouMeANDaCamera Thank you! It wouldn't hurt to talk with a sales clerk at the store or to place a call. However, it possibly didn't recognize your card because CVS has to register you in their system. This could take a week or so from your extra care card application.
I'm not done. i watched a show on couponing and my ears perked up. But they don't get in depth about how they save. So wanting to know more of course youtube to the rescue and i found you guys. I ALWAYS PAY FULL PRICE! I know, you need smelling salt, but i didn't want to be bothered and i never knew coupons were not rip offs if you use them properly. now that you have armed me it's own. With any store. I'm angry with myself, but I'm looking frwd cuz i want to become a stockpiler. I'M EXCITED!
I'm trying to reach my backside to kick it, once i figure it out I WILL BE KICKED BY ME!! I've carried that card and have had it in a drawer at some point? never read it. i've lived in atlanta for 5 years now so 5 LOOONG YEARS!!! i've always been the one who said coups just make you shop and you don't save money. And I always hate to hear ppl say they get things for free, etc. never telling you how. THANK YOU for telling me how. Thats why I never goo into coupons. I didn't know how to use them
JUST RAN ACROSS THIS! I TEAR CVS ASS UP!!! I TOO HAVE DONE VIDEO ABOUT THIS. I ALSO INCORPORATE THE FREEEEEE GIFT CARDS ($25.00) FROM PHARMACY!!!! GOOOOOO LADIES!
being a cvs employee this is good information expecially if you are not abusing the system but the person who commented about returning the items after the extra bucks is the wrong way to go about it if you use it correcly like these women thank you
I'm a newbie of couponing, many thanks for the video. I buy organic products so I'm planning on using your techniques at CVS:) I"m really excited, thanks again!
I live across the street from a cvs, I'm going to get that card, lord knows I need to save, I'm a college student.thanks for the saving tips. I'm going to subscribe to you channel. Stay Bless!!
Okay the quarterly bonuses their talking about is NOT a download on to your extra care card, it's a printed coupon based of the total amount you've spent during that quarter in the form of an extra buck.
Is it just me or does CVS seem over priced any way, so it's like, the bucks they provide balance out. CVS seems very expensive to me. I'll go check it out again. I have a card.
Yes great video... but please tell people to stop doing all of their grocery shopping and trying to get rung out at the Pharmacy. Us in the pharmacy have more important crap to do than to ring out 2 cart fulls of stuff. :)
Subbies......go and check out the cosmetic isle at CVS....there are tons of 50-75 percent off tags on cosmetics and beauty items!...only while supplies last! Happy Savings!...DSD(Double Saving Divas)
I work at CVS and I can tell you guys that this is exactly what the company wants all their customers to do! I'm a cashier where I work and I have to deal with these customers all the time, and even though it can be annoying sometimes, I usually get to know the customer since they come at least every day sometimes more. But you two ladies are definitely not promoting coupon fraud I can assure you. Great work at explaining how to do what I wish every customer knew how to do :)
@Concept3601 I understand you completely. I work at CVS too and people would want to do like three transactions so they can use the bucks they get to pay for other items. I mean as a customer its smart but to the poor cashier who has like four other people to ring, it is annoying!
Well, I understand this and I worked at a cvs and part of me was like omg all of the coupons but the other half is like EXTRA BUCKS!!! YES!! but All im saying is if you're going to be a "coupon lady/man" be a nice one. We get some real creeps and rude people im the stores. Now most of the time I will tell the customers about the extra bucks but if your mean to me y would I tell you anything!!! do onto others
I just luv u ladies. I went to cvs last nite, used my extra bucks. I really saved. But check this , I bought 3 different body washes, 3 brands but I only 1 extra buck so make sure it's not one of those , one per household snags. Congrats on the new baby!
you should work in a store when people abuse the program. and people do. it just makes me want to jump over the counter and snatch the card and knock them upside the head. its not fun for the employes.
I'm so happy to have found this video! I have had a CVS card for a few years now and never knew how much you could actually save! I'm still learning the system but your video has helped explained it better! Hope to see more videos from you ladies:)
Thank you for the introduction as I was intimidated by the CVS bucks. How do I scan the card when I first get into the store? The clerk won't do it unitl I ring something up? Thanks again. I am going to check out your Walgreens 101 video as well.
They have scanners down some of the aisles in the store. Just scan your card and coupons will print out. If you need help in the store just ask a sales clerk. Thanks again!
oh yeah any coupon that prints out u can use it towards anything even if its for a specific item and u buy somethin else u can still use it i work at cvs and i do it all da time im always gettin shitt for free!lmao
i work at CVS and i want to thank you so much for this video. it answers a lot of questions i have to deal with every day. you would not believe how many people don't want their coupons or tell me their extra care card does nothing for them. thank you for actually understanding how the store helps save you money :) you really can get a lot for very little, often for free.
Longs is cvs now.. they merged... We had longs employees transfer to most of our stores... Yeah I love extra bucks and sales and coupons plus my employee discount.... free free free... thats the only reason i still work there part time lol
hey! so i looked on the website, and there were many stores that popped up. but the store name is longs drugs but operated by cvs, Whats up with that?
longs is now officially owned by cvs. some are still in the middle of being changed into cvs (like the one i work at) but i think most of the transfering longs will have the carecard program
how do you get the extra bucks, i know you explained it but i dont think i get that.? i do have the extra care card though, and i get the $4 off any $20 or over purchase coupons and coupons for specific items.
Look through their ads and when you see an item it usually mentions extra bucks that you will receive once you pay for it. So you may purchase something that is $5 and you may get a $5 extra buck back once you pay for it. The buck comes in the form of a paper coupon that prints from the register that you can then turn around and purchase something else in the store of your choosing. Read all of the comments on this page to help you as well.
Most all stores have it. Make sure you ask someone at the store. If not they may be able to scan your card on their register. Try it and let us know if it works
I got to get one of those cards! I go to CVS to get my children prescriptions filled. I always use the drive-thru pharmacy. lol. I am going inside next time. =) Thanks!!! You just gained a subscriber.
When you get your card and you go to pick up your prescriptions make sure to hand your card to the pharmacy tech who is ringing you out. for every 2 prescriptions you get filled you earn $1. in extra bucks. A lot of the times the people in the pharmacy don't ask for you Extra care card, so just try to remember to give it to them.
Hi Divas. Just wanted to let you know that I featured this video on my blog at yesiamcheap(dot)com. People have loved it so far! You're one of my favorite channels on the 'tube.
CVS is the #1 convenience store on my school campus. Next year, I might be living in a dorm where I will buy food for cooking instead of eating at the cafeteria so this CVS video has come just in time.
1. You said that they sometimes put bucks on your card when you pay out of pocket? (YOu have 50cents on yours)... Does that mean I need to use the CVS card like a credit card, or can I pay with hard CASH and they put 1% bucks on my card?
No you do not use the card like it is a credit card. Yes, you need to save your bucks.......because you will redeem them on your next purchase. Every quarter they will give you an extra bonus your card......(that was the 50cents we spoke of) just for you buying items. But this is separate of the bucks that we were speaking of.
Lol yall are the SAVINGS DIVAS for REAL! cuz DAMN! ima peep what else yall have cuz im realizing now lately in my life, i need to manage and save things myself!!
do you only receive bucks only for the products that are in the sale section?? the bucks can you use more than one buck at a time? can the bucks be used to purchase any product??
Sometimes the items may not be in the sales ad. You have to go to the store and sometimes there is a tag in front of the product. Yes, you may use one or more bucks at a time. Bucks can be used to purchase just about anything in the store. Read any exclusions on the coupon.....sometimes it is not good towards liquor, etc;.
That is very true... They exclude Liquor, as well as Tobacco, Perscriptions, stamps, prepaid products (gift & phone cards). Other than, everything else could be used with Extra Bucks. as u just said, they have to read the exclusions.
I am a bargain shopper too. I was so impressed with your information I listened to one video and subscribed to you, then listened to this one and forgot that I had already subscribed and tried to subscribe again. You guys are awesome and your explanations are clear and easily understandable!
You guys are too funny! Thanks for the video! CVS bucks have always been a mystery to me. There system was so confusing that I started shopping exclusively at Duane Reade. Thanks again
today was my first time using my card and I was like a little kid. I went into the store and they actually help me find the items that was "free", I purchase 12 items and only had to pay $4.00. I save 24 diollars people today. I am loving this...
yo one time i was at cvs. paid for half my stuff, recv my coupons then proceeded to use my coupons for the other half. the clerk says " i'm not supposed to let you do that" i went 3 blocks down to another cvs and purcased the rest of my items, she was just being a B#$%^&.lol
OMG your talking like this is the word of God. LOL... on the real it is gosple/goodnews..but I should have known about this when I used to live over in the states.
I love you guys I love to save also and I am going to share this information with my friends and family. Also on BHM my sistas and brothas need to know about this ASAP.
Quick question. If you have 5 bucks, and you buy a product thats five dollars, but u get five bucks back, can u use your bucks tobuy it and also get the 5 bucks back??? basically can u use bucks for bucks (kinda like the walgreens gift card deal)??
Yes!!!!!! That is what we always do. Always use your bucks to pay for items that will print more bucks for you. The whole idea is to come out of little to no money at all when doing your transactions. Also, if your purchase is a little less than the bucks you will use to pay for it, keep in mind they won't give you any money back. You will loose the difference. So what we do is to try to purchase something very small that will make up the difference.
You know how many bucks I wasted because I didn't actually know what they were? I've been collecting bucks for years and never bothered to pay any attention to them untill now. I just spent like 25 dollars on Vday Candy for my son's party. And the only coupon I got is $5 off my next $25 dollar purchase. But thanks girls I will be paying attention from now on!
You get how many extra care bucks the ad or their booklet says. Sometimes it is the same amount that you paid for it. That is the one that we usually buy when it give us the full face value for it. Or we will match a manufacturers coupon with their bucks so the item will be free. For an example, I bought a Gillette Shampoo that was on sale for $4.99 with $3.00 bucks back. So I paid $4.99- $2.00 mfr coupon=$3.00. I gave them the $3.00 and then they gave me $3.00 buck back which makes it free!
i mean, you said the lady in front purchased her items all at once. and coupons printed out. in order to have ssavings, you do serperate transactions. how do you do serperate transaction.
for what i think: you have 10 items in the basket and you say to the cashier " can i do the items in serperate transaction" cashier says "yes"so they printed out some extra bucks serately, items by items. reusing that extra bucks over and over again at that moment?
Correct. Make sure you take a calculator with you. What we do is we may have 10 items all together. Let's say we have $8 extra bucks.We figure out which items out of the 10 will come close to $8 so we won't have to come out of pocket. Then we have the cashier ring up the items and give her the bucks. Once the cashier is finished the bucks that print up out of the register we will turn around and use it on the rest of the items. Please let us know if we explained this better. Thanks for watching!
I used to live right down the street from CVS...I have a care card and everything but they never send me any emails or books and they always give me discounts on things I'd never in a million years buy.
Go back to your local CVS and pick up the extracare booklet in the front. Every month just like Walgreens they come out with one. Also, you must look at their weekly ads. They always run promotions for items that you use everyday. If you find an item that you won't use think of someone else that may use it or even
CHARITY. A lot of the shelters would love to get your items that you won't use. Trust us try it and you will love it!
You also have to keep using the same card ovr and over so that it can keep track of what u spent all together, and u will get 2% of that back every quarter, which is every january, april, july, and october....
oh and a tip when u shop at cvs is saturday is the best day to shop because the sales overlap, the sales ad says the sale starts on sunday but it really starts that saturday the same day the old sale is ending(keep that in mind ;) )
Thanks so much for the tip! Does it start at a certain time on Saturday? Like do your computers turnover at 6pm? I asked that before and the associate said no the sale does not start on Saturday, but Sunday. Maybe it depends on the location.
IT does depend on the store, most stores that close activate the add on saturdays (time varies by store) and the stores that are open 24 hours the sale starts at midnight.
Okay guys I just wanted to let you know that what the DSD are saying is soo true. Last week I purchased $60 worth of stuff for less than $4 and got $19.97 in ECB's. And on today 2/3/09 I purchased $41 worth of stuff and paid 69 cents and got $19.66 in ECB's. And up until 2 wks ago I didn't dare go in CVS because I thought they were too expensive. Thanks Divas. Oh and don't be afraid to buy something that u don't use if it is free just give it away and bless someone else & use those coupons
you girls sound like my ex

Hey this was really informative to me, so thanks for the video! I went to my local cvs and got an extra care card but when I went online to apply for the beauty club it said my card was invalid? Do you know about that or should I talk to a cvs employee? Thanks :)
YouMeANDaCamera 1 year ago
@YouMeANDaCamera Thank you! It wouldn't hurt to talk with a sales clerk at the store or to place a call. However, it possibly didn't recognize your card because CVS has to register you in their system. This could take a week or so from your extra care card application.

I'm not done. i watched a show on couponing and my ears perked up. But they don't get in depth about how they save. So wanting to know more of course youtube to the rescue and i found you guys. I ALWAYS PAY FULL PRICE! I know, you need smelling salt, but i didn't want to be bothered and i never knew coupons were not rip offs if you use them properly. now that you have armed me it's own. With any store. I'm angry with myself, but I'm looking frwd cuz i want to become a stockpiler. I'M EXCITED!

I'm trying to reach my backside to kick it, once i figure it out I WILL BE KICKED BY ME!! I've carried that card and have had it in a drawer at some point? never read it. i've lived in atlanta for 5 years now so 5 LOOONG YEARS!!! i've always been the one who said coups just make you shop and you don't save money. And I always hate to hear ppl say they get things for free, etc. never telling you how. THANK YOU for telling me how. Thats why I never goo into coupons. I didn't know how to use them

Okay the quarterly bonuses their talking about is NOT a download on to your extra care card, it's a printed coupon based of the total amount you've spent during that quarter in the form of an extra buck.

Is it just me or does CVS seem over priced any way, so it's like, the bucks they provide balance out. CVS seems very expensive to me. I'll go check it out again. I have a card.

I work at CVS and I can tell you guys that this is exactly what the company wants all their customers to do! I'm a cashier where I work and I have to deal with these customers all the time, and even though it can be annoying sometimes, I usually get to know the customer since they come at least every day sometimes more. But you two ladies are definitely not promoting coupon fraud I can assure you. Great work at explaining how to do what I wish every customer knew how to do :)

@Concept3601 I understand you completely. I work at CVS too and people would want to do like three transactions so they can use the bucks they get to pay for other items. I mean as a customer its smart but to the poor cashier who has like four other people to ring, it is annoying!

how do you get the extra bucks, i know you explained it but i dont think i get that.? i do have the extra care card though, and i get the $4 off any $20 or over purchase coupons and coupons for specific items.
Springbreeze328 2 years ago
Look through their ads and when you see an item it usually mentions extra bucks that you will receive once you pay for it. So you may purchase something that is $5 and you may get a $5 extra buck back once you pay for it. The buck comes in the form of a paper coupon that prints from the register that you can then turn around and purchase something else in the store of your choosing. Read all of the comments on this page to help you as well.

When you get your card and you go to pick up your prescriptions make sure to hand your card to the pharmacy tech who is ringing you out. for every 2 prescriptions you get filled you earn $1. in extra bucks. A lot of the times the people in the pharmacy don't ask for you Extra care card, so just try to remember to give it to them.

DIVAS, I NEED YOU HELP!
CVS is the #1 convenience store on my school campus. Next year, I might be living in a dorm where I will buy food for cooking instead of eating at the cafeteria so this CVS video has come just in time.
1. You said that they sometimes put bucks on your card when you pay out of pocket? (YOu have 50cents on yours)... Does that mean I need to use the CVS card like a credit card, or can I pay with hard CASH and they put 1% bucks on my card?
quitejaded 2 years ago
2. Do I have to save those print out cash? What if i lose them? Are they not also inside my CVS card?
quitejaded 2 years ago
No you do not use the card like it is a credit card. Yes, you need to save your bucks.......because you will redeem them on your next purchase. Every quarter they will give you an extra bonus your card......(that was the 50cents we spoke of) just for you buying items. But this is separate of the bucks that we were speaking of.

do you only receive bucks only for the products that are in the sale section?? the bucks can you use more than one buck at a time? can the bucks be used to purchase any product??
roroagogo6 2 years ago
Sometimes the items may not be in the sales ad. You have to go to the store and sometimes there is a tag in front of the product. Yes, you may use one or more bucks at a time. Bucks can be used to purchase just about anything in the store. Read any exclusions on the coupon.....sometimes it is not good towards liquor, etc;.
DoubleSavingDivas 2 years ago
That is very true... They exclude Liquor, as well as Tobacco, Perscriptions, stamps, prepaid products (gift & phone cards). Other than, everything else could be used with Extra Bucks. as u just said, they have to read the exclusions.

Quick question. If you have 5 bucks, and you buy a product thats five dollars, but u get five bucks back, can u use your bucks tobuy it and also get the 5 bucks back??? basically can u use bucks for bucks (kinda like the walgreens gift card deal)??
HOOSIE6 2 years ago
Yes!!!!!! That is what we always do. Always use your bucks to pay for items that will print more bucks for you. The whole idea is to come out of little to no money at all when doing your transactions. Also, if your purchase is a little less than the bucks you will use to pay for it, keep in mind they won't give you any money back. You will loose the difference. So what we do is to try to purchase something very small that will make up the difference.
DoubleSavingDivas 2 years ago
You know how many bucks I wasted because I didn't actually know what they were? I've been collecting bucks for years and never bothered to pay any attention to them untill now. I just spent like 25 dollars on Vday Candy for my son's party. And the only coupon I got is $5 off my next $25 dollar purchase. But thanks girls I will be paying attention from now on!

oh an also.
do you get extra care bucks when the ad says "get extra bucks back, when you buy..."
or you get extra bucks, the amount of money you bought.
FriggIes 3 years ago
You get how many extra care bucks the ad or their booklet says. Sometimes it is the same amount that you paid for it. That is the one that we usually buy when it give us the full face value for it. Or we will match a manufacturers coupon with their bucks so the item will be free. For an example, I bought a Gillette Shampoo that was on sale for $4.99 with $3.00 bucks back. So I paid $4.99- $2.00 mfr coupon=$3.00. I gave them the $3.00 and then they gave me $3.00 buck back which makes it free!
DoubleSavingDivas 3 years ago
what do you mean by transaction.
FriggIes 3 years ago
When you say transaction what are you referring to?
DoubleSavingDivas 3 years ago
i mean, you said the lady in front purchased her items all at once. and coupons printed out. in order to have ssavings, you do serperate transactions. how do you do serperate transaction.
for what i think: you have 10 items in the basket and you say to the cashier " can i do the items in serperate transaction" cashier says "yes"so they printed out some extra bucks serately, items by items. reusing that extra bucks over and over again at that moment?
FriggIes 3 years ago
Correct. Make sure you take a calculator with you. What we do is we may have 10 items all together. Let's say we have $8 extra bucks.We figure out which items out of the 10 will come close to $8 so we won't have to come out of pocket. Then we have the cashier ring up the items and give her the bucks. Once the cashier is finished the bucks that print up out of the register we will turn around and use it on the rest of the items. Please let us know if we explained this better. Thanks for watching!

I used to live right down the street from CVS...I have a care card and everything but they never send me any emails or books and they always give me discounts on things I'd never in a million years buy.
DHMunroe 3 years ago
Go back to your local CVS and pick up the extracare booklet in the front. Every month just like Walgreens they come out with one. Also, you must look at their weekly ads. They always run promotions for items that you use everyday. If you find an item that you won't use think of someone else that may use it or even
CHARITY. A lot of the shelters would love to get your items that you won't use. Trust us try it and you will love it!
DoubleSavingDivas 3 years ago
You also have to keep using the same card ovr and over so that it can keep track of what u spent all together, and u will get 2% of that back every quarter, which is every january, april, july, and october....
oh and a tip when u shop at cvs is saturday is the best day to shop because the sales overlap, the sales ad says the sale starts on sunday but it really starts that saturday the same day the old sale is ending(keep that in mind ;) )
(I work at cvs)
TVIP06 2 years ago 2
Thanks so much for the tip! Does it start at a certain time on Saturday? Like do your computers turnover at 6pm? I asked that before and the associate said no the sale does not start on Saturday, but Sunday. Maybe it depends on the location.
DoubleSavingDivas 2 years ago
yea the sale does start on saturday at 3 am
but the extra bucks dont start till sunday 3 am..
maybe it does depend on the location
but if they put their tag up you should get that sale.
TVIP06 2 years ago
IT does depend on the store, most stores that close activate the add on saturdays (time varies by store) and the stores that are open 24 hours the sale starts at midnight.

And on today 2/3/09 I purchased $41 worth of stuff and paid 69 cents and got $19.66 in ECB's. And up until 2 wks ago I didn't dare go in CVS because I thought they were too expensive. Thanks Divas. Oh and don't be afraid to buy something that u don't use if it is free just give it away and bless someone else & use those coupons
