Quick Extreme Couponing Tips

you absolutely need the item..like diapers, that would
be a mess if you waited ;)

4. Say Hello To Your New Best Friend :)
The first thing you want to do before shopping at CVS, is get an ExtraCare
CVS/Pharmacy Card. You can request one right in the store at the
checkout.
Each time you make a purchase at CVS, scan your Extra Care Card in order
to get the sales prices shown in the sales ad as well as earn Extra Care
Bucks.

5. Extra Care Bucks = CVS Reward Program
Extra Care Bucks (ECBs) print out at
the end of your CVS receipt when you
buy designated items.
Extra Care Bucks can be used just
like cash at CVS!
s
Total purchase after coupons &
before tax must be at least value of
Extra Care Buck to use.
Extra Care Bucks do have an
expiration date on them. Be sure to
use them before they expire!

6. How Do You Earn Extra Care Bucks?
You earn Extra Care Bucks by
buying items that offer Extra Care
Bucks Rewards.
You will find the qualifying items in
the sales flyer, accompanied by the

7. Quarterly Extra Care Rewards -

Quarterly Extra Care Rewards

17. Earn Extra Care Bucks for Buying Beauty Products
Sign Up for the ExtraCare BeautyClub online or in store. www.cvs.com/
beautyclub
Once signed up, you will receive $5 Extra Care Bucks every time you purchase
$50 worth of beauty purchases. (Note: $50 is counted BEFORE coupons)
You do not have to buy $50 worth in one trip, it is tracked over multiple trips and
your total is represented on your sales receipt as shown above.

18. Sign Up for CVS Email Updates & Save Big!
Sign up for Extra Care Emails at www.cvs.com
Upon signing up you will be rewarded with a $4/20 Coupon via email.
The $20 is counted BEFORE coupons are calculated.
Then be on the lookout for occasional coupons emailed to you like the
one above.

19. Oh No! The Item is Out of Stock!
If a sale item is out of stock, you can
ask the sales clerk for a raincheck. A
raincheck will allow you to get the
sales price on that item when it
eventually does come back in stock
at the store...even if it is no longer
on sale.
Pro Tip: Be sure the cashier writes
down the Extra Care Buck amount
on the raincheck. She will then have
to issue the Extra Care Buck
manually when you do buy the item.
