New to CVS? Consider this blog your cliff notes!

As I said in a previous Blog, if you do not have a CVS card NOW IS THE TIME!

1.First things first......get your CVS Card
You can get one at your local CVS
You can also apply online here
You will need this card each time you purchase something at CVS in order to take advantage of the "deals"
After you have received your card you are ready to start using it. Every time you go into a CVS store the associate will ask you if you have a card. Even if you are not buying anything that is on sale with the card go ahead and give the clerk your card to scan. On most items you buy you will receive 2% back on your card. You also can earn one dollar for every two prescriptions you fill!

2.Start Earning those EBC's Baby!
ECB are earned through promotions, such as “Buy such and such, receive ____amount of money back in ECB's" These promotions in the weekly papers, and Monthly ECB catalog.
The ECBs print at the end of your receipt - clip them and keep them as carefully as you would cash. I usually keep my ECB's paper clipped to the card that generated them. This method will help if you and your partner /spouse/roomie both have an Extra Care Card.

I will help you figure out what is the best deal and before you know it you will be a Pro and figuring it out all on your own!

Things you need to know about EBCs

The required amount to receive the ECB is calculated before coupons. You do not have to buy all the products for that particular promotion in the same transaction or at the same store, however I usually do, ding this helps me keep up with just how much I am actually spending ECB coupons can be used to buy anything in the store. except alcohol, tobacco,prescriptions and Gift Cards) You cannot get change back when you spend your ECB's.
ECB coupons expire 4 weeks from the date they are printed. Keep an eye on them and make sure that you don't let them expire before using them! They are equivalent to cash at your CVS store!

CVS Coupon Policy

CVS accepts manufacturer's coupons, including IP Coupons. (remember IP stands for Internet Printable)
CVS also issues their own store-specific coupons. you can get these by email or printed out at the end of your receipt. (Cash register tape)
Both ECB and CRT (cash register tape) coupons are linked to your CVS account, which means you cannot use them without the CVS card that generated them to begin with.
The CVS coupon policy allows for the use of 1 manufacturer and 1 CVS coupon on the same item.

So what are you waiting for?
