On this trip I paid $0.00 out of pocket for $10.99 worth of items. I have given away or used most of my stash of body wash and I was down to the last bottle so I thought this was a good time to stock up again. I am also on my second to last toothpaste because I donated or used all the rest.
I forgot my reusable bag (and the cashier asked me about it because she remembers me) but I was able to get a $1 ECB from the machine at the front so it was still a good haul for the day.

Join me next time as I look for more ways to save money as I visit CVS.
I love these CVS updates. Thanks for sharing!
Side comment: I send you a message via your contact form last week and haven’t heard back from you. Did you receive it? Please let me know. Thanks!
I”m impressed and expected to read that you were restricted to purchasing generic brand products to avail yourself of these savings. I use a CVS card and wasn’t aware of the benefits of Extra Care bucks which I’ll definitely look into on my next trip there. Thanks for the tips – every penny counts in this economy.
