How I Save Money at CVS: August 1
August 3rd, 2008 by LuLuGal
Welcome to How I Save Money. I am on a quest to see how much stuff I can get from CVS without spending any extra money out of my pocket. This August you can get a free gift on your first purchase so I was a bit excited to see what I would get.
Transaction 1
Item:Clairol hair color
Price:$5.99
CVS Extra Care Bucks earned:$1.00
Coupon used: BOGO
Item: Children’s advil
Price:$5.79
CVS Extra Care Bucks earned:$5.79
Coupon used:none
After this I got a coupon for a free CVS mouthwash as my free gift but I could only get the small bottle for free.
Transaction 2
Item: CVS mouthwash
Price:2.39
CVS Extra Care Bucks earned:$0.00
Coupon used:$2.39
Total out of pocket today: $0
Total CVS Extra Care Bucks earned today: $6.49
Total out of pocket to date: $95.34
Total CVS Extra Care Bucks earned to date: $163.31
CVS Extra Care Bucks Used to date: $117.07
CVS Extra Care Bucks Balance to date: $46.24
I am mad at myself for using the first gift card instead of using the $10 ECB coupon that I had. I now have three separate ECB papers and one gift card to juggle.
Join me next week as I look for more ways to save money as I visit CVS.

Way to go on your savings! We also got the free coupon for CVS mouthwash. I actually just posted this morning on my site how we made money last week at Rite Aid and CVS. Do you shop at Rite Aid or Walgreens at all?

Not bad!

@ Passive:
There is no Walgreens or RiteAid where I live. *sad*

That’s too bad… CVS is great, but RiteAid and Walgreens both have fabulous rebate programs!
