Extra Bucks
As you guys should know by now, Lava is my resident Personal PF blogger. Yesterday morning, she gave me a call ranting and raving about this crazy lady that bought $250 worth of groceries for $10 . Needless to day, I was a bit intrigued. After doing a bit of research myself , I found that the story goes like this:
- You sign up for CVS Extra Care program and wait 2 weeks to receive the Extra Care card .
- You stalk the store a little bit and get some Extra Value booklet or something like that. This book is supposed to list all the items that are available for Extra Bucks for that week/month.
- You buy stuff that gives you Extra Bucks. It’s sort of like an instant rebate .
- You use the bucks your got to buy more stuff that gives you bucks.
- Rinse and repeat.
Here’s a typical example: You’re first purchase may be some deodorant that normally goes for $3.00 , but this week there’s a special where you get $3.00 extra bucks on that purchase (Yeah, so technically, it’s free - just pay sales tax). Now because you just started this, there’s going to be no initial savings , except if you used some other coupons or something.
