How Do You Get Everything For SoOO Cheap At CVS? I'M NEW!

I am feeling so clueless right now. I have grocery stores mastered with coupons! Never used a coupon till I got married and discovered them from my husbands side of the family. Now I can't go without. I average 85-90% + off at grocery, but I am jealous and want to do this at CVS.


I get the coupons part and I know they print coupons at the bottom of your receipt...I seem to always let those go bad since I didn't realize they had such good deals. What else do you do that I am missing? I always went to grocery stores because they double or triple (superfresh wohooo) your coupons and cvs doesn't! I want stuff for free at CVS TOOO..LOL

THANKS


--Like I said I am new, if this is in the wrong place! SORRY!!

Start small - you will get better with practice! Read all the newbie 101 stuff and study it like you are taking a test later lol

It all pays off in the end! It took me about a good month before I really "got it" and now my oops are 1¢ to 88¢ each time!!

Look ahead when the ad scans come out, and plan ahead of time! Sometimes there will be threads with scenarios for getting your best deals, and if you have the same coupons you can copy cat what others are doing!

Also, something that I did not know at first~ try breaking your purchases up into smaller transactions, especially if you live close enough to CVS to make multiple trips! That way you have a better opportunity to roll the ECBs you get from one transaction into another transaction, making your OOP less.

Keep your eyes on the board; people here are REALLY good at what they do, and they don't mind sharing what they know!

If something I say helps, please give reps!!

Couponing as compared to Baseball:

Single - Buy it on sale
Double - On sale with a coupon
Triple - On sale with a coupon and a promotion (ECBs attached)
HOME RUN - On sale with coupon and promotion with a rebate

With CVS, it's all about matching up the sale, the ECB deals and your coupons. When you do that, you can turn your coupons into ECBs (so to speak), and your ECBs into other items that you want/need.

Thanks for this great example. I have a hard time getting people to understand I am allways looking for the homerun.
