We can’t say this enough if you walk into a CVS store, scan your card at the CVS kiosk. Even if you are not going to purchase anything, always scan your cards. Yes, cards, we carry two cards for our household. One household can have two CVS Extra Care Cards. You and your significant other can each have a card. Doing this will double your savings in ECBs (Extra Care Bucks) and double your ability to get your stockpile in place.

We received the two ExtraCare coupons you see above when we scanned our card at the CVS kiosk this week. One was for $5 off $15 and $4 off Huggies box of diapers. HAPPY HAPPY JOY JOY. Combine this with the Huggies manufacture coupon we can use all three of these at CVS or at our Fairhope Publix store.

Publix Box Diapers $19.99
-$5 off $15 CVS coupon
-$4 CVS coupon
-$2 manufacture coupon
Final Price: $8.99

Here are some additional tips for shopping at CVS:

• Purchase a CVS Green Green Tag for $.99, attach it to your reusable bag, and scan with your CVS card to get $1 ECB for every forth time you use your reusable shopping bag and scan your card. You can find these tags on the end caps or located near the register.

• Follow CVS_Extra on Twitter and get a secret discount code for 25% off “nearly everything” on CVS.com.

• Did you know that you can use your ECB bucks and ECB coupons when ordering products on line at CVS.com? Use your coupons and rewards when you shop online. Here is the information from the site:If you are an ExtraCare cardholder, you know just how rewarding it can be to use the card every time you shop. And now you can take advantage of your Extra Bucks® when you shop online. In your Shopping Cart, click on the Use Coupons/ExtraCare Rewards button at the bottom of the page to apply online coupons and/or ExtraCare Rewards to your purchase. Just enter the relevant codes and your ExtraCare card number in the appropriate section of the Rewards and Coupons page. The coupon value cannot exceed the total value of merchandise in your Shopping Cart.

• ECBs will roll over. You can use a ECB to pay for a transaction and receive ECBs for the items you purchased.

• ECBs, store coupons, and manufacturer coupons can be stacked and used in one transaction.

• If the cashier has the time, you can do more than one transaction in your trip and use the ECBs to pay for the next purchase.

• CVS gives you back 2% on your purchases (double bucks going on now). Every quarter your ECBs will print after your purchase receipt.

• Make sure you have updated your CVS cards with your email address, we recieve $X off $XX coupons by email 2-3 times a month.  We love using these at our local Publix store.

• You can print your ECB coupons on your online account.

• ECBs are treated as cash in CVS stores but they must be greater than the purchase amount, no change can be given. ECBs also have an expiration date of 3-4 weeks.

• Always offer up the store coupons first then the manufactures coupons. When shopping at CVS always hand the cashier your CVS card first then CVS dollar off transaction coupons, CVS store coupons/manufacturer coupons, and then finally your ECBs.

• Our Fairhope Publix store will not take ECBs but they will take the ExtraCare Coupons and  $X off $xx coupons.
