I never thought I would, but I have been shopping at CVS more and more. Although their prices are regularly higher than elsewhere, the deals they have, the coupons you can use, and the Extra Care Bucks (ECB) you can earn ends up saving us so much in the long run. Plus, the various points programs available offer CVS gift cards as reward options.
When you utilize the sales, match coupons with the sales, put ECB towards the final prices, and earn more extra care bucks back, sometimes it's as though they are paying you to purchase from their store!

Sick Again
I know I've been slacking A LOT on my postings. I've set a goal for myself to increase my postings and I'm definitely going to start today.
My CVS experience was slightly disappointing, but only I am to blame. I searched MoneySavingMom for my CVS deals last night. I was all prepared. This morning I was going to collect all the coupons and head out on my quest to get great deals, lots of stuff, and for little dough. I had a $4 ECB, a $.99 ECB, $2 for pledging to quit being a MoneyTrasher, and $7 back from my Summer Spending.That's $13.99 total!
Then, this morning I woke up with my sinus infection working overtime. I had a sinus headache and felt like crap. No going to the store for me today. Oh crap! The $2 ECB expired TODAY. Ugh! That kills me. Can't waste it. Especially because it was the reward from pledging NOT to waste my ECB! Plus I need medicine for my extremely offensive sinuses.
So my wonderful sisters watched my kiddos so that I could run, but I was on borrowed time because they had to be somewhere shortly so I had to hurry. Shopping for deals and hurrying do not belong together at all. Sooooooooo, to cut this short....
I purchased:
1 St. Ives face scrub (on sale $3.29)
2 (12ct) CVS brand Sinex (B1G1 50% off, $3.99 & $1.99)
1 Coke (had to have my fix) ($1.67)
4 pkgs (3cups ea pkg) ($.25 ea) -- that stupid 75% off buggy they put right when you walk in the doors! Gets me every time.
My total after ECB's and tax was $3.18. Great price for all that stuff, but I didn't get any ECB's back. That's the part that disappointed me so much. Thank goodness I still have a $4 and $.99 ECB left!
