When it comes to buying school supplies, one place you might not think to shop is CVS/pharmacy. But from personal shopping experience, I can tell you that they offer some GREAT prices! Right now is the perfect time to take advantage of CVS back to school deals – for both your school aged kids and to stock up your home office!
CVS regularly offers great prices in their weekly ads (especially when you use their ExtraCare Rewards program), and their exclusive CVS Brand products (Just the Basics, Caliber, Gold Emblem) and are on average 30% less expensive when compared to national brand equivalents!
If you are new to the CVS ExtraCare Rewards program, here is it how works:
- Sign up for an ExtraCare card in store if you don’t already have one
- Scan your ExtraCare card during check out and earn ExtraBucks Rewards that will print on your receipt for use on future purchases + earn 2% back on everyday purchases (issued quarterly)
- Scan your ExtraCare card at the ExtraCare Coupon Center Kiosk in store and coupons will print instantly
- Add your ExtraCare card to your CVS.com account and earn ExtraBucks on your qualifying purchases + 2% back on everyday purchases (issued quarterly)
- Scan your ExtraCare card when you pick up prescriptions and earn $1 in ExtraBucks for every 2 prescriptions that you fill
If you opt in to emails, you’ll also be eligible to receive coupons in your inbox! The more you shop, the more you’ll save – and the savings will be personalized to you. The CVS BeautyClub is a great way to save too!
For full details about the CVS ExtraCare Rewards Program at CVS, check out their website here. Also be sure to follow CVS on Facebook and Twitter!
