CVS Shopping Trip

First bit of advice...if you don't have a CVS ExtraCare card, sign up for one! It doesn't cost you anything, and you will be amazed at how much money you will save by simply having this card. You only qualify for these sales if you have a CVS ExtraCare card. When you are ready to checkout, you just hand the cashier your CVS card, they will scan it, and you will automatically receive the sale price for the items that you purchase. Let me show you what I mean...
