New to CVS - Me too!

Okay, so you are probably like me if you aren't real familiar with CVS and the Extra Rewards system. I heard a lot about it on other blogs, but I didn't know what much of it meant.

Here are the easy things you need to know if you want to earn free products at CVS. Get a paper every Sunday, and start clipping your coupons people, and make a list for CVS based on what you need and what you can get free with the Extra Reward Bucks. If you are like me and don't want to spend a lot of money out of pocket, you will need to make multiple transactions. Each transaction can produce Extra Reward Bucks (ECB's), and you can use these to make your next transaction.

Now, I live in Hermitage, there are 3 CVS's in my close proximity. One sadly is closing. The CVS in Kroger's shopping center on Old Hickory Blvd. closes on August 2, 2008. I'm sad about this, but they did not do enough business. It is actually hard to see unless you just know it is there. I will miss them because they have the nicest employees, but I think most of them will be transferring. The only reason I'm telling you about this CVS, is because several items are 75% off until closing, which, by the way is tomorrow.

The CVS on Lebanon Pike at the McGavock intersection is by far the worst as far as customer service, but you can still redeem the Extra Reward Bucks. They are VERY picky about what coupons they will accept if there is a sale on those items. I have called corporate about this, and was told by a District Manager they will be trained to take manufacturer's coupons on sale items, but I am unable to report on this yet. I hope things improve.

What do I do to get started???
It is easy to get started at CVS, just stop in the store and sign up for the card and you will receive it then. This is the quickest way to begin saving. If you already have a card or would like to sign up for one,you can do that here. You will earn 2% cashback on your purchases each quarter in addition to the weekly and monthly sales that offer Extra Reward Bucks.

Keep viewing my posts and I will give you updates on my transactions and savings.
