CVS is awesome! - Great way to save some money!

I finally went to the new CVS in town. I have heard from many the great deals when you use your CVS ExtraCare Card. You can usually get quality products that you use for close to if not free after all of the incentives. When I was reading more of the information this is a great program.

You will definitely want to get this card. The first benefit you receive is extra money off products in the store, they also track you spending and every 3 months you receive a check to use in store for 2%, you also get $1 for every two prescriptions you fill. There are also weekly deals where you get instant Extra Bucks to use on your next purchase.

So tonight I went in with the kids and was using coupons from the Sunday paper, and incentives from the flier. We purchased items we use all the time so we were not buying things we will not use. We bought some Tide, toilet paper, paper towels, dish soap and some other supplies as well as some medicine.

Our initial total bill before any coupons were taken off was just over $84.00. We used $7 in coupons, so our final bill was just over $77. However based on the products that we purchased we received $20 in instant Extra Bucks. We will also get extra bucks for 2% of pre tax total for $1.46. So our total cost after all of this is just under $56.

Another bonus is that we also tied our CVS ExtraCare card to our UPromise account. Some of the items that we purchased will also earn us earn us money towards our kids college education. I will right more about UPromise in another post soon.

You need to be sure to compare the prices of these deals with generics that you might already use. We did pass on some tissue that would have gotten us extra care bucks, however all things considered we are better off with the brand we always use.

To any of our friends and family who might read this we would appreciate if you would follow this link to UPromise to sign up and help us save money for the kids college education.
