If you are signed up to get CVS emails, then many weeks you will get 25% or 30% off coupons that are good off your total purchase. These are awesome coupons, but they have a catch… you can’t use them on sale items. Many folks email me asking exactly what they can use them on. Rather than you think they are useless I thought I would start to show you just how great they can be.
First: They come on Thursday’s but depending on when you print them, they will be good through the next Wednesday (don’t look at the date in the email it is always 4 days from when you print it). So you will need to decide whether you want to use it this week or next week.
What can it be used on?
Look for deals in the ad that print ExtraCare Rewards but don’t have prices listed. On the Southern Savers list that will usually be the deals that have a number of products with prices listed below the deal. These are there to give you ideas of what to grab and the regular price of items. While all of these print a reward, the big key is that they aren’t actually on sale.
Here are two ideas of what you could get depending on when you want to shop.

You make $4.81 profit!! I know you’re thinking, I don’t need all these things (I’ve heard all the excuses). Maybe you don’t, but if I offered to give you all these items and pay you almost $5 to take them would you not take them? See all the deals for next week and go ahead and make your shopping list.
Heads up: CVS email coupons are specific to your card. You can’t share it with friends or even use it twice on the same card.
