If you want to make the most out of your next shopping session at CVS, here are a few simple hacks that will help you stock up on the products you need without paying the full price.
CVS CarePass and ExtraCare
As is the case with many other retailers, if you’re a regular shopper at CVS, one of the best ways to gain access to regular offers and special deals is to become a member. CarePass is a paid membership program that will help you save in the long run, as for only $5 a month, you get lots of perks.
The benefits of being a CarePass member include free 1- 2 day shipping for eligible purchases on CVS.com and on qualifying prescription drug orders through USPS, a 20% discount when you shop eligible CVS Health brand products online and in-store (no coupons needed), as well as a monthly $10 CarePass promotional reward that you can use on various products both on Cvs.com and in CVS stores.
In order to join CarePass, you will need an active ExtraCare card, yet this card will bring you even more benefits. Signing up for such a card and registering it and scanning it every time you shop will get you 2% back in ExtraBucks Rewards.
Moreover, you’ll also have the possibility to benefit from exclusive ExtraCare member sale prices. Terms and conditions apply, so make sure to read the store’s policy regarding these rewards to learn how you can make the most of them.
Another easy way to save on the products you need and purchase frequently is to seize the savings included in the CVS Weekly Ads. Such deals are released regularly and feature a variety of offers on health, wellness, and beauty products. Examples of weekly savings are buy-one-get-one-free deals and ExtraBucks Rewards when purchasing a specific number of select products.
Since the flyer is available online, you can easily check it when released to find out more about the latest deals. Also, make sure to check the deals released at the beginning of the month as CVS offers both weekly and monthly sales.
Online Deals
If you prefer to shop online, you’ll also find regular deals that can help your savings add up. It is thus worth checking the online sales as they typically feature different types of offers, and many of them are online-exclusive.
For example, select products are paired with the BOGO 50% OFF Deals, which means that if you buy one of the listed items, you will get the second one discounted by 50%. Other products bring even greater savings as if you buy one of the items included in the BOGO Free section, you will get the second product for free.
The online deals section also features a variety of products that are available for only $3.99, $4.99, or $9.99 each and offers such as 25% off beauty products. If you use your CarePass membership, you will also get those items delivered free of charge. If you’re not a CVS member, you can still benefit from free shipping whenever you spend $35 or more.
Coupons & Beauty Club
To save even further, you can seize the coupons available at CVS. They are frequently featured in the weekly ads, and you can also use the CVS app to scan manufacturer coupons or simply scan your ExtraCare card to print coupons at the red coupon kiosk you’ll find in-store. These coupons are personalized and based on your purchase history.
In case you often purchase beauty products at CVS, you might want to consider signing up for CVS’s Beauty Club as you will earn $3 on every $30 you spend. What’s great is that you don’t have to spend $30 on a single shopping session. You can reach this threshold over multiple shopping trips to earn $3.
