Let’s save some coins

Hey everyone! So, you saw my amazing CVS haul with all those digital coupon savings, right? I wanted to dive a little deeper into how I make these savings happen, because honestly, CVS couponing can feel a bit like a treasure hunt, but it's totally worth it once you get the hang of it. It’s not just about clipping a few coupons; it's about strategy! First things first, make sure you have a CVS ExtraCare card. This is your golden ticket! You can sign up for free in-store or online. Once you have it, download the CVS app. This app is where all the magic happens for digital coupons. Every week, I spend a few minutes scrolling through the app to "clip" (add to my card) all the digital coupons that catch my eye. You'd be surprised how many great offers pop up, like that recent $2.00 off a body wash product or the handy $3.00 off two menstrual care products I found. Seriously, don't sleep on these! One of my favorite things about CVS is how you can stack deals. Sometimes, you'll find a manufacturer coupon and a CVS store coupon for the same item. Plus, if there's a promotion like "Spend $30, Get $10 ExtraBucks," you can often combine that with your digital coupons. For example, if you're stocking up on razor products, you might find a coupon for $2.00 off, and if buying multiple brings you to a spend threshold, you earn ExtraBucks too. It's like getting paid to shop! I recently used a similar strategy when buying cosmetics or beauty tools – I had a $3.00 off coupon, and it contributed to an ExtraBucks offer. And let’s talk about those personalized coupons! CVS often sends out coupons like "$6.00 off a $30 purchase" or even "30% off a full-price purchase." These are game-changers and can be combined with other digital coupons, making your savings stack up even faster. I always try to plan my shopping trips around these offers, especially for things I regularly buy, like hair care products or deodorant. That $3.00 off a $15 deodorant purchase really adds up over time. A crucial tip: always scan your ExtraCare card at the red coupon machine (the "Magic Coupon Machine") in-store before you shop. It often prints out extra store coupons that aren't available digitally, or sometimes it gives you percentage-off coupons that can be a lifesaver. I once got an extra $5.00 off three body wash products coupon from there that wasn't on my app! So, my advice? Dedicate a little time each week to checking your CVS app and scanning your card. Get familiar with the weekly ad, too. You’ll be surprised how much you can save on everyday essentials, from tampon products to your favorite shampoos. Happy couponing!
