Tons of great deals this week at CVS. If you are new to their loyalty program and earning Extra Care Bucks, I explain in detail here. Learn to read this shopping list here. Crystal, the Money Saving Mom, helped get this list started and I added to it based on the best deals I found in the forums at A Full Cup.
Your turn: A few weeks back I started to include the amount you spend out of pocket on the Extra Care Buck offers in addition to the bottom line final price after Extra Care Bucks are considered. Do you find this helpful or more confusing?

Carrie- You mentioned the UPromise account and I recently signed up for one but my question is how do you use these coupons that I redeemed? When I redeemed them online I got a print out with no bar codes and the message stated the coupons would be loaded on my Rainbow rewards card. Does the coupon come off at the time of purchase as long as I swipe my card?
Just a reminder that there is a $4 off $20 facial care purchase in the ready fill coupon book. So if you are going to do the $15 Clean and Clear promotion you just need to spend another $5 to get to the $20 mark and use the $4 off coupon. I figure if you pick up something around the $5 price point and pair that with one of the $1 off Almay, Revlon, Neutrogena, etc. then you would be getting the makeup for free! I know the last CVS I went into had some GREAT clearance on Revlon lipsticks and some other makeup so you could probably end up getting a couple things free if you do things right.
I don’t know if I did a good job explaining that…hope it helps! :)
Cecia – Later today I will do an entire post about UPromise, but in essence it is NOT money off your current purchase, but a deposit into a savings account that can be used toward college education for you or your kids in the future. Stay tuned later today for full details. –Carrie
Carrie- Thanks for the reply, that’s great I’ll keep an eye out for your post. BTW I have turned a bunch of my girlfriends onto using your site, thanks again for all the great tips!
