CVS

CVS is at first a little confusing. Let me try to make it simple.

Sign up for their Extra Care card - FREE.

Scan this card at the price check scanner every time you go to CVS and it will print out coupons for you. Semmes store scanner is located at the end of the first cosmetics aisle. Scan this card (2) times per day.

CVS allows you to stack a manufacturer coupon (clipped or printed) with a CVS store coupon.

CVS will have special items that generate a ECB (money) when you make purchases. You can use your coupons on these purchases also.

Here is a shopping scenario:

Scan card at price scanner --- printed out $4 off $20 purchase and (2) $1.00 off Gold Emblem candies coupons.

Store Ad ---- Spend $20 on Gillette brand products and get $5.00 ECB.

(4) Gillette brands @ 5.00 each = $20.00

1st - use the $4 off $20 purchase --- brings it down to $16.00
2nd - use any manufacturer coupons (4) $1.00 0ff - brings it down to $12.00
3rd - Pay the $12.00 and you will receive the $5.00 ECB on your receipt for your next order.

Final cost is $7.00 or $1.75 each.

Now you can do another transaction for another deal. Let's say that coke products are on sale (4) for $13.00 with a $1.00 ECB --- Okay, use the $5.00 ECB received from the first transaction and pay only $8.00 for the cokes --- you will receive another $1.00 ECB for next time.

I think you can have (3) transactions per trip.

The key to CVS shopping is doing more than one transaction so you can use your ECBs to pay for other products. ECB deals are usually limited to (1) per household. Be careful, even if you have several great coupons, the deal would only be for (1).

Our Semmes CVS is really coupon friendly.

If you are in the Citronelle area, you may have to be more careful and watch for your discounts and things.

Happy shopping and keep it simple, Ginger
