The Drugstore Game

the drugstore game

the drugstore game

the two drugstores i have here in houston texas are cvs and walgreens.

why do you want to play the drugstore game

cvs has a rewards pro that uses a card called an extra care card. you can get it

buy $10 and get $3 ecb's back

the key to really taking advantage of cvs's rewards pro is to use coupons and to “roll” your ecb's

you know that tide laundry detergent i told you earlier? how this? in this sunday's paper there was a $ off coupon

now you want to “roll” your ecb's. rolling means that you buy products to get ecb's and roll those ecb's into more products that give you ecb's and so on and so on

please be kind and considerate when doing back to back transactions and try to not do too many at a time

receive back $ ecb

lysol healthy touch soap system $

receive back $ ecb's from huggies buy $10 get $ ecb

receive back $ ecb's from lysol healthy touch

you can use it to buy your milk )

download the free mobile app and join directly from your smart phone

this could get a bit tricky at times because it will require multiple transactions each week if you intend to “roll” deals

clear as mud? i thought so…here's an example

receive back $ rr

biotrue multi purpose solution $

.50 cent candy

$ rr total oop $.49 receive back $4 rr

have extra fillers when you go up to the register. walgreens won't let you go under $ so you need to make sure that you have things to bump your total up if you need to

remember that you cannot earn and redeem balance rewards in the same purchase! so you'll have to make the choice

you buy mentos gum $ each

when you purchase mentos gum you will receive a $ +up reward. so essentially after +up rewards you will be paying only $.50 each

the key to really taking advantage of rite aid rewards pro is to use coupons and to “roll” your +up rewards

mentos gum $ each

when you purchase colgate total advanced mouthwash you will receive back $3 +up rewards

when you purchase mentos gum you will receive back $ +up rewards

clear eyes $

finesse hair care products $ each

use $/ clear eyes product coupon

use $/ finesse hair care products coupon

when you buy clear eyes you will receive back $ +up rewards

when you buy finesse hair care product you will receive back $ +up reward

when you buy speed deodorant you will receive back $2 +up rewards

you can use it to buy your milk )

at gold off the store

sounds like something that might be on the edge of the law

walgreens and cvs

both cvs and walgreens have a rewards pro that can be used to your advantage

after awhile though

let's start

these be used as “cash” on your next purchase

tide laundry detergent is on sale

you pay $

let's start

this means you only pay $ at the register

this often requires you to make several different transactions within a given week

remember

sample cvs scenario

tide laundry detergent $

$ coupon

huggies pull ups $

huggies wipes $

$ coupon

$ coupon

$ ecb from previous transaction

total oop: $

you can just keep rolling

if you break that scenario down you purchased $ worth of product

now how is that

things to remember when you shop cvs

there are kiosks in many cvs stores that you scan your card to get money saving coupons. sometimes you'll even get an $x/$xx coupon there

ecb's do expire. keep them safe and always know when one is to expire

walgreens

now

at checkout

give them a call at to set up your membership

you'll also receive points

in addition

in order to ensure you receive your points

pts = $

pts = $

000 pts = $

000 pts = $

000 pts = $

call 855-225-0400. you'll also see your balance on your receipt

in most cases

your points are ) from the time you earn them

you can only redeem 40

you combine this balance rewards program

you canno earn points on a purchase at the same time you redeem points

redeeming points in each transaction

you'll have to make all of your purchases that will earn you balance rewards in one transaction

however

the only limit to this manufacturer coupon is that you can't redeem it on a purchase of an item from the same manufacturer if you want to earn another register reward

dial nutriskin body wash $ total oop $

at this point

nope. i mean you could…but you wouldn't trigger the $ rr to print again

instead

transaction #2

dial rr)

$2 coupon on bio true

now you do the dial deal again

in order to receive sale prices at walgreens you need to be a balance rewards member now. refer to the above ways to join their pro

you must have one item

rite aid

note: i do not have a rite aid near me. my assistant and beautiful sister amber however does and she has written up a very throughough walk through of rite aid's reward pro

hi my name is amber and here in san diego california we also have walgreens and cvs but we have rite aid as

they also have a rewards pro that can be used to your advantage and will at times sound a bit repetitive and much like the other retailers

rite aid like i said before also has a rewards pro that uses a card called a wellness

colgate total advanced mouthwash 250 ml

you pay $

when you purchase colgate total advanced mouthwash you will receive a $3 +up reward. so essentially after +up rewards you just received that item

pay $8; receive $ in +up rewards

also

let's use the same sample scenario above exce this time add coupons to the mix

colgate total advanced mouthwash 250 ml
