IMPORTANT INFO about
CVS: Lately, the ECB Machine (red machine in store) is putting out CVS
coupons that will coincide with the sales for the following week. Make
sure that you ALWAYS scan your card when you go into the store, you can
scan it twice and usually get two different coupons each time! This
has been going on for a couple of weeks, they really want you in their
store regularly so they put out these coupons to entice you. I’m In! I
love CVS! Maybe you will score some super duper deals just by getting
these coupons!
FOR THE NEWBIES:
ECB
=Extra Care Bucks. ECB’s are like a customer appreciation program that
CVS has where they “Reward” their customers for shopping at their stores
and purchasing certain products. ECB’s are like cash in their
stores. Unlike Walgreens where the reward is attached to a product, ECBs
are not connected to any specific product, so you could actually
purchase one product that produces an ECB and turn around and purchase
the same product again(as long as you haven’t reached your limit on that
item)and get another ECB!! Its a little bit hard to grasp until you
have used them and it comes together. You will love CVS as much as me
before you know it!!
