I enjoy purchasing some of my health and beauty
aids in the many discount drug chains that surround me. Each one has a different loyalty program that affords great savings. The 3 near me are: CVS, Walgreens and Rite Aid.

CVS has the Extra Care Bucks program. It works like this. Sign up for the CVS card. Check for sales and ECB on their weekly online or paper flyer. For example Energizer batteries were on sale for $5.99 for the 8 pack. In addition, with the purchase of $15 in batteries you received $5 in ECB. I could still use my Energizer manufacturers’ coupons. I now had $5 to use on any other purchase in the store.

Walgreens savings program. This works very similarly to CVS. Walgreens always has sales, combine with their Register Rewards and you could save a lot. Check their printable coupon section too.

Last, Rite Aid not only has sales but they also have Single Check rebates that can be done online or mailed in. Each time you make a purchase, submit your register receipts online to see what savings you’ve received. At the end of the month with one click all your receipts are tallied and Rite Aid sends your check. No computer, just send in your receipts for your monthly rebate.

It’s a fantastic system and another way to add to your nest egg.
