Do you CVS? Free Money at CVS drug store - help me figure it out!  

I did that at my local grocery Ralphs and only had to pay $5 for the prescription! The gift card was for $30 so I got $25 free! I just saw the one for CVS and plan to make a switch there!

OH, didn't know that. Have to keep that in mind. You gotta try Walgreens - it is great. The catalog is good all month so you can shop every week or once a month. I do it and get usually $25. They put it on a gift card and I just reuse it the next month so not much comes out of pocket, just swaping "money" on the gift card. I highly recommend it!

I have heard alot about it, and tried it once but am ready to work it again! I love Walgreens - I am usually $25 a month in free money to swap around - not much comes out of my pcoket - just that $25 in product or on gift card. YOu can get it in a check to use a you wish, but if you get the gift card, you get an extra 10% added on! Since I am buying there all the time anyway, I take the extra 10%!!!!

No, instore - I don't do online much. I'll have to work on it. I love Walgreens - SO easy. I just need to learn all the things with CVS - ECB's annd R somethings and back of the receipt and all. SOunds like a lot to have to work with.

I applied for the card last night online and it takes 2 weeks to get here and I can't do anything until it gets here so I'll just work on learning it and then when I get the card, see if I can make it work!

Instore is daunting the first time, but all you do is when you get the card, then run it through the kiosk in the store when you first go it and it will print out whatever coupons are available that day. It might be $1 off or $5 off or whatever off on a particular item or on any CVS store brand item, and then when you go to pay for whatever you bought just hand your card and the coupons to the clerk. Where we shop the clerk is really on your side and will tell you if you are missing an additional discount by a few cents or even dollars. For instance once she told us that if we bought one more box of the CVS brand cookies it would qualify us for an extra $10 off on what we had brought to the register. And the cookies were $1 off that day as well. Once she said go backk and scan your card again before I finish ringing here and it will give you another coupons and it did and she applied that coupon that day, too.

So although most of their items are marked pretty high on the shelves, if you combine the card savings with the store savings and the kiosk coupons with the ones that are printed on the bottom of your receipt, it is possible to come out ahead. Many of the coupons are not worth bothering with, but the good ones are great, and I think worth learning how to manage.

I have never noticed a kiosk in the store for the coupons...Sigh!

Should be near the front door, but they are rather understated. It is a good idea to run your card through it every time you go in before shopping. Good luck!

Okay, that is what I am trying to find out - the expiration of the coupons or "dollars" they give you....what is it? Mine were within 6 days from when I got them. I wouldn't be back that way by then so I couldn't use them. Is there an expiration of a short time on these things? I have not been back since. THis is what I am tring to find out. What that you got, had the expiration date on them and how long was it for?

It was the same thing- 6 days I think. I didn't have enough to get something for free with them and I didn't really need anything that I needed a couple of bucks off on. This is why I like Walgreens and the Easysaver better. There is no expiration and I like that.

My thoughts exactly! I love Walgreens. I currently have $35 on my card! FREE MONEY!!! Well, in a way! Thanks for mentioning the expiration thing - that was my problem...nothing I needed or even wanted to splurge on to use the CVS coupons. I'll look into it. maybe things have changed - its been about a year ago I tried it.

It has probably been that long since I have tried it as well. I don't think it has changed much. I'll stick with Walgreens- this month I have about 20 bucks in free money which comes in handy. :)
