The next 3 days are 75% off; the next 2 days are 90%. After that it goes to salvage.
4th of July 3-3-2 (since it's always on July 4, the schedule stays the same)
July 5 = 50% off July 8 = 75% off July 10 = 90% off
Halloween (since it's always on Oct. 31, the schedule stays the same)
Nov 1st = 50% off Nov 4th = 75% off Nov 7th = 90% off

CVS- Extra Care you’ll earn 2% back with every purchase in-store and online

Their pharmacy. Earn 1 Extra Buck for every 2 prescriptions purchased

Every 3 months your Extra Bucks will print on your store register receipt

1. Sign up for a CVS card at the store or online. Also register your card online and this way CVS will send you coupons example 4.00 off 10.00 .

2. Check your local ad or go online to blogs that already have the deals and what coupon to us . These give you the information on what product you need to buy that week which would generate an ECB . Once you bought the item, you would receive an ECB at the bottom of your receipt which you could use like cash on your next transaction, thus making that item in essence, “free.”At this time they DO accept expired ECB .
