Don't let your ExtraBucks expire

I was planning on going to CVS today because I thought I had extrabucks that were expiring soon. Turns out, they expired yesterday!!! I was so annoyed with myself. $3 down the drain. If you have Extrabucks check the expiration dates so this doesn't happen to you.

Another CVS tip: scan your card at the coupon center for some great coupons. Apparently people have been getting $1/1 CVS brand paper item this week and toilet paper is 2/$1 so you could get 2 toilet papers for free.

$5/$25 Coupon


Print this $5/$25 coupon for Rite Aid. Publix takes competitor coupons so you should be able to use it there. Also, you can print it as many times as you want. It expires 4/30.
