• CVS Savings: Use Your “Green Bag Tag” & Earn ECB’s

     

    You can earn bonus ECB’s (Extra Care Bucks) by purchasing the Green Bag Tag.  If you go to CVS regularly you should consider getting it.

    • It costs $0.99 to buy the tag (I used an ECB to buy it a couple months ago).
    • The Green Bag Tag is scanned when you check out and you earn ECB’s for using it.
    • Every 4th visit to CVS that you bring and scan your Green Tag you will earn $1 ECB.

    How to sign up?

    • Ask the clerk at the store for a Green Bag Tag.   When you purchase the Green Bag Tag with your Rewards Card it becomes linked to your account so you can get the bonus ECB’s every time you use it.

    I have a reusable CVS bag in the van with the Green tag attached to it so I can quickly grab it when I head into the store.  The Green Tag can be scanned any time after scanning your first item (unlike your Rewards Card that can be scanned before any items).  Always make sure that they scan it, sometimes new employees are not aware of it.  Also, double check on your receipt to make sure it is updated with your recent Green Bag Tag use.  Each receipt will show you how many total Green Bag Tags you have used and how many more you need to get your next bonus ECB.  Even though I have only had it a couple months I have been able to earn $4 extra ECB’s using the Green Bag Tag.  At one time (several months ago) they offered it free after ECB’s but even if you have to pay the $0.99 to get it the Green Bag Tag will pay for itself pretty quickly.

  • Top Deals: CVS Deals without Coupons!

    I have been away on a cruise so I am getting back into the swing of life this week.  Since I had a couple ECB’s about ready to expire I decided to stop by CVS on my way home from Karlie’s doctor appointment.  I haven’t had time to organize my coupons yet so I wasn’t anticipating a great deal on anything.  A lot of the Revlon products were on clearance for 75% off plus I received a coupon from the CVS kiosk for $5 off any 2 Revlon products and $4 in ECBs back after purchasing $10 in Revlon products.

    Here is what I got on my trip to CVS:

    • 1 Revlon 3D Extreme Mascara – $10.49 markdown to $2.62
    • 1 Revlon Beyond Natural Cream to Powder Eye Shadow – $8.28 markdown to $2.07
    • 1 Revlon Color Stay Active Light Makeup with SPF 25 – $12.79 markdown to $3.19
    • 2 Revlon Nail Enamel (Red Hot Tamale) – $5.49 markdown to $1.37 each
    • 1 Revlon Nail Enamel (Tropical Temptation) – $5.49 markdown to $1.37
    • 1 Heart Shape Necklace (set of 2) – $0.99 (for my girls for Valentines Day)
    • 1 Crest Pro Health Complete Mouth Rinse – $3.99

    Without using manufacturers coupons, only the kiosk coupon as well as a couple ECBs my total came to $3.99!  I was able to save $52.97 and received $8.99 in ECBs back.

    The following  ECBs I received back totaling $8.99:

    • $3.99 ECB for Crest Pro Health Complete Mouth Rinse
    • $4.00 ECB for purchasing $10 in Revlon products
    • $1.00 ECB for using my Green Bag Tag (I don’t get this every time but it adds up over the year)

    Thrilled to get such a wonderful deal without using my manufacturers coupons!  I am sure it would have been even better if they were organized from my time away but I am thankful I was able to get a sweet deal regardless.  The girls are ready to paint their toenails now!
