CVS has an awesome reward program called the Extra Care Plan. Anyone can sign up for an Extra Care Card for free. Please remember it is very important to sign up as some of the store sales do not apply to your purchase unless you present your CVS card (or phone number) to the cashier.
The Extra Care Bucks (ECBs) program is similar to Walgreens Register Rewards (RRs). ECBs are found at the bottom of your receipt when you buy a weekly item that has an ECB reward. These ECBs also carry an expiration date, so pay close attention. CVS will advertise deals that show the final price after ECBs. The simplest way to describe this program is to use an example. This week Colgate Max Fresh Toothpaste is on sale for $2.99. When you purchase this toothpaste, you get $2 in ECBs back on the bottom of your receipt to use for your next purchase. Basically you will pay $2.99 up-front, but will be getting $2 back, making the final cost of this toothpaste only $0.99!
I rotate my ECBs from week to week. Between combining sales with coupons and ECBs earned, CVS sees very little of any actual cash from me. Yesterday I went to CVS and spent just over $6 out of pocket, but came home with $13 earned in ECBs to use for next week's purchases. Basically, I have a little "savings account" that rolls from week to week. Please keep in mind ECBs can't be used to purchase tobacco, alcohol or prescriptions.
