This week at the store, part 2

There are lots of ways to save money at CVS.  (I am not paid to advertise for CVS and so forgive me if this list is not exhaustive. It is all I know to date. )

1. Using manufacturer coupons
2. Using extra care bucks you have earned from previous purchases
3. Using extra care bucks you have earned from using your own bag when you go to the store
4. Using extra care bucks foyou earned for getting prescriptions filled there
5. Getting CVS coupons emailed to you each week. (You hit one button from that email and it will load the coupon to your CVS card)
6. Using coupons that you receive from the Extra Care Coupon Center located in the store.

You can use these offers in any combination and you can use as many as you want. This is fairly unique since many stores don't allow you to use more than one coupon for an item.

And frankly, you should be using any or all of these options because otherwise drugstores typically do not have the best price in town.

This weekend, I got all this for $13.14.


It was a combination of using deals from #1,2,3, and 5 listed above. Five cases of drinks, 3 bottles of laundry detergent, scissors, and dish washing soap. If I would have paid full price for all of this at the drug store, it would have cost about $70.00. Like I said,  I spent a little more than $13.00 and in most stores that is less than the cost of the detergent.  (And yes...I know we should stick to water because that is way cheaper. I have no rebuttal.)

The point is...there are lots of ways to save money at the drugstore! Share your stories with me!
