how to get coupons at CVS and fall in love with it and love it as much as I do. I love coupons at CVS because at CVS it's so easy, once you get the hang of it, to transfer your money to your store money, which I'm going to teach you about week by week so you never have to spend out of pocket. and you are getting so many good things that I can make big purchases at CVS every week and not pay a lot and I want to show you how to do it so without further ado let's go to the store so that when you walk into CVS the first place you want to stop is Downtown of CVS coupons, it is also called a Red Box machine, so this is the machine that will print all of your CVS coupons and in order to print your coupons, it has a There are several options for you to enter your phone number, you can enter your additional card number or you can just scan your CVS card so I'm going to scan my CVS card here and allow my CVS coupons to print and you want to scan your card at least three times until it's done printing your coupons and you can see it says that there are technical difficulties, notify an associate, try again later, but don't pay attention that your coupons will still be sent. print as you can see mine or print it even if you say you want to stick around to see if those coupons are still printing the first thing you should do if you haven't already is sign up for an extra care card and the extra care card at CVS will be your link to sale prices, to savings, and your link to being able to print coupons and first of all, your extra care dollars that are printed for you and we're going to talk in detail about extra care dollars.

They are going to be linked to your extra care card number which means you can't use someone else's extra care card and your extra money doesn't work so you need an extra care card attached to you so you can To take advantage of all the sale prices and savings, you can register for an Extra Care Card in-store or you can also do so online. The second thing after signing up for that extra care card is to read the CVS coupon policy that is in effect. to tell you a lot of things that are really important about coupons at CVS, like how you can use store coupons and manufacturer coupons together at CVS and how you can do really cool things, like use them to make coupons on buy one get one

sales at CVS.

However, the coupon policy has changed several times over the years, so it is very important to stay up to date on the most recent version. I'll have it linked below in the description box so you can check it out as well. So now we have our CR T printed out that we are going to

shop

with today and if for some reason the reading machine that we just saw in your store doesn't work, you have some alternatives to get these coupons, so the first alternative is had, as you can load these coupons digitally onto your CVS card so you can review them online in the CB app or Logan's website on your card and when you scan your card or enter your phone number at the register they should apply to your purchase another alternative is that you can make a small purchase at the register and these will often also be printed on your receipt, not all will be printed but some will be printed so if you have one that you are looking for and want to have it on hand, you can buy a little candy or something just to get some of your CRTs printed.

These are called CRT coupons, which is short for cash register tape coupons, which really just means they're store and us coupons. We can use these store coupons in combination with our manufacturer coupons, so based on the CRTs I just printed, I see a few that I know we're going to use today in our sale. The first is this $4 discount from Maybelline that we are going to use. that today we will also use these 3 of 15 CRT laundry products. I'll show you how we use them in just a second by going up here. I'm just looking to see if there's anything else I want.

I think I'm also going to use this $4 off Maybelline Cosmetics coupon. Okay, so let's start by talking about how to read a CVS sales label. This is quite important because there are many details that you can find on the sales label that will help you. you make your trips accessible if you understand what they mean, so in this first deal that we're going to do, you can buy $20 worth of home products and they run these deals almost every week, you can buy $20 worth of home products and you will receive $5 dollars extra. The extra dollars are CVS currency, so at every pharmacy there is a store currency that you can earn when making select purchases at CVS.

These are called extra dollars, so you will receive five extra dollars. money that you can use to make another purchase at the store when you spend $20 on selected household products, so let's put together a purchase of about twenty dollars so that we can get that extra $5 dollars to take care of certain things you want today. note that the sales tag is here, it will tell you what dates this offer runs so it will be valid until six twenty seven and it will also tell you how many times you can do this offer so if we expand Here you will see that we can only We'll do this deal once, which means if we buy $40 worth of household products, we'll still only get $5, so we only want to buy $20, so the first thing we'll do is "We'll grab a bag of these Tide Pods." and we're also going to buy one of these laundry detergents that also cost four dollars and ninety-four cents.

I'm going to go ahead and put them in our cart and over here I think I want to buy one of these UNSTOPABLES. These also cost four dollars and ninety-four cents. Let's buy one of these. I still need to get closer to twenty dollars for my purchase, so I have a few options here. I could get some of this. everything, but I think I'm going to go ahead and grab a second bag of Tide Pods and we'll talk about how this is going to work, so here's the full deal that we're going to do as our first deal at CVS.

This is a new CVS card that I am using. This is not my typical car that I use week in and week out so I don't have any extra money to pay for this deal so what I did was I actually signed up for the CBS Care Press program and the CVS Care Pass program has a Lots of good benefits, but one of the best benefits, in my opinion, is that you get an extra $10 care book automatically loaded into your CVS account each day. month, so I signed up for that program so I'll have $10 to start today to pay for our transaction.

Now the cost of the Care Pass program is five dollars a month if you pay monthly or you can also do an annual subscription which I chose to do because it's a little cheaper, four dollars a month or 48 dollars a year, so for four dollars per month you will get 10 dollars

free

at CVS. In reality, it is a win-win situation. - Just a thought, if you're just starting out, then these four linked products are worth $19.70 worth of household items that are included in the sale, I need to spend $20 on CBS and I know you might be thinking, well, those aren't exactly $20, so what do I do?

I have to do to get the extra money to be able to spend 20 well at most CVS stores, not all. There's something called the 98 percent rule. I'd say about 98 percent of stores observe the 98 percent rule and it's really the only way to be sure. What your store does is make a purchase like this and see if the extra money prints, so what we're going to do is buy these four items; the total through 1976, since 1960 is 98 percent and we are Also, that $5.00 of extra care should still be printed, so the first coupon we will use in this deal is this 3 for 15 CRT that we just printed from the Redbox machine, so this will give us three dollars off. buy today so our total will come down to 16 76 then we will use this $1 manufacturer coupon and remember we can use these manufacturer coupons in addition to the CVS coupon so I will use this $1 manufacturer coupon on the downy and I also have a CVS coupon and app, so the CVS coupons and app or coupons that you can find in the CVS app on your phone I can only use that CVS coupon and app along with this manufacturer coupon and that CRT yes , Yeah. that's all a triple savings so I'm going to get two dollars off with that CVS coupon in the app and this one dollar manufacturing coupon in the downy which will bring it down to 1476 which we're going to pay and then I'm going to use this manufacturer coupon for two dollars on a bag of Tide Pods, that's great, but I also have $1 at Epke Pond for the Tide Pods, so I'll have three dollars saved with one of these bags of Tide Pods. so that will bring it down to 1176 that we are going to pay, but it gets even better because CVS also offers digital coupons, so I have a digital coupon for the second bag of Tide Pods for two dollars off that I will also be able to use Jews, so that will bring it down to 976 which is owed for this agreement and then for the liquid laundry detergent.

I'm going to use this $1 manufacturer coupon right here, which is pretty awesome, so let's wrap it up. by paying just 8 dollars and 76 cents for this deal today and after we pay 876 and we'll use our care pass money to pay for that, we'll get five dollars back, making our final cost for this transaction just three. dollars and 76 cents or each item ends up being only 94 cents after all of our coupons and that's the magic of CBS because where else can you come in and get these items for only 94 cents and we're going to make a deal to make money? some cosmetics will also end up making these babies free for us because we're going to get those 94 cents back for the cosmetics we're going to get, we'll go there shortly before we get to that cosmetics deal.

I just want you to know how to plan your trips at CVS because planning is very important in

couponing

so this deal we're making with laundry products you could actually plan ahead by clipping all your coupons if you already have them and check out the sales announcement to make sure you already know that promotion will be available for the following week, so you have a couple of ways to plan. One of my favorite ways to plan is to check out I Heart cbs. com, this website is great because they post early previews of sales at stores like CVS so you can review the sales announcement and determine what deals you want to do before your actual

shop

ping week and get all the manufacturer coupons you can.

Also, visit the CVS website starting Thursday of the previous week and on that Thursday they will have the sales announcement for the following week available in a preview, as well as the one item of your trip to CVS that you won't be able to preview. The plan They are your CRTs. I had no way of knowing I was going to get this $3.00 off CRT this week ahead of time, but what you can plan ahead for is that the CVS is the CVS CRTs you got the week before, so if you got this. the week before and you didn't use it, you'll still have it and you might be able to use it the next week, which happens all the time.

CVS has a good and bad habit of giving us CVS CRTs that will actually be better. They are used next week so sometimes it is better to keep these coupons until next week but you don't want to keep them for long because they usually expire in 7 days so now let's do that deal to make money on cosmetics I was talking about , so in this particular offer, when we buy from Maybelline Cosmetics, we will receive an extra $5 cure money. This offer is capped at three, so we could do this offer up to three times and we would get a total of Fifteen Dollars in extra cure dollars if we did it three times, but we will only do it once today, so first thing I'm going to buy one of the Maybelline foundations.

It's eight dollars and 69 cents, so I'm going to buy one of these and the second thing I'm getting in our deal today is I'm going to buy one of these eyeshadow quads. These are four dollars and forty-nine cents, so these are our two makeup items that we have. We're going to take our deal today and these two items are actually going to pay for the laundry products that we just received because they're going to generate a source of income, soLet's break down the concept of a cash cow at CVS, so when you hear that term. I want you to understand what it means, so these two products add up to a total of 13 dollars and 18 cents.

I think we got 869 for the foundation and 49 for the eyeshadow, so we'll use two coupons they just printed for us from the Redbox machine. we have this $4 off Maybelline Cosmetics coupon that we can use and we have this $4 off Maybelline foundation that we can use. I also have two $2 off manufacturer coupons that we're going to use today as well and we can use these manufacturer coupons in combination with these CBS coupons so that's a total of twelve dollars in savings coupons so we'll end up paying alone a dollar and eight cents for the foundation and the eyeshadow and if you remember, they'll give us back an extra five dollars, so we'll pay 118 cash out of our pocket, which will really be our money for the entry pass, so we'll win $3.82 out of pocket and remembering how much our laundry items cost, they cost us 376 so we're making 382 here, guess what that's going to pay for? our laundry items so let's talk let's put all these concepts together and our whole transaction is okay so this is what we're going to take today at CVS and let's put it all together so you understand the whole concept of how we're going to get this super Aloha price , so everything we're buying today is going toward laundry items and these two makeup items total thirty-two dollars and ninety-four cents.

We have a total of eleven dollars and store coupons and manufacturer coupons for the laundry. The items we reviewed we have a total of twelve dollars in coupons for Maybelline items, so our total outlay after our coupons are applied will only be $9.94, but if you remember, we have signed up. for the Care Pass program, we have $10 and money from CBS that has already been loaded into our account, so $10 will cover the cost of everything we are paying today that we got back from our initial investment of $4, so for that Our four dollar investment will cover your entire purchase with $32 worth of items and that's the magic of coupons at CBS, so let's head to the register and see how it all works.

Okay, guys, we just paid. Now let's review our receipt. to understand the magic of what just happened at the register, so there's everything we bought, there's our laundry items, there's our Maybelline items, there's looking at the coupons that were applied, there's one dollar manufacturer coupons for the down and, again, those are ours. Two Dollar Manufacturer Coupons for Tide Pods and What Else Do We Have? Oh, at our Maybelline we had $2 million SEC short coupons for those too. Our digital coupon came out of worthy Tide Pods we had in our account. Our $4 Maybelline Foundation CRT was applied. our $4 discount on Maybelline Cosmetics ERT was applied, our three office 15 laundry care CRT was applied and then our in-app coupons were applied to pay for the Tide Pods and the downy and we also used that $10 in pass money careful, now I added a small portion of candy I added a package of Swedish fish that was on clearance for 32 cents in the front so I wouldn't waste my level pass money since we only had $9.94 that I had to pay at the register, so I added that 30-something 30-something penny piece of candy so some of that money is absorbed, but you don't have to if I hadn't added that candy, then that extra care, but for ten dollars it would have been reduced to $9 .94, so our subtotal after candy was twenty-eight cents for those seven items, so I pay about twenty-eight cents plus tax out of pocket and if we look here, I had a total savings of 99 percent, which was a total savings value of forty-five dollars and thirty-five cents that we saved today on that transaction and then I got an additional five dollars back for the care of the laundry items just as we anticipated, so we want to look at that receipt and we can see that only we spent one thousand nine hundred and seventy. six, so the amount needed to complete twenty dollars was twenty-four cents, but we still received that five dollars of extra care, which means that my store meets the ninety-eight percent rule and we also get our five dollars back of extra care by Mable and something else that is missing from this receipt is the Beauty Club balance, so since I do not use this card, I have not signed up for the CBS Beauty Club and that is very important because the CBS Beauty Club offers you some extra savings and some extra free money so because we bought that makeup we could actually get some credit back to get more extra money for buying that item because it's beauty related so you want to make sure that when you start to use coupons at CVS you register at CVS.

Beauty Club because for every 30 dollars you spend on certain areas like makeup or facial care or skin care, you will get credit for that purchase and that purchase will print you an additional cure book of three dollars in additional free money for every thirty dollars you expenses. So since I bought what was that $13 worth of makeup worth in this transaction when I spent another seventeen dollars and beauty, should I get more money from CVS and should I print three dollars worth of extra care at the register or the red box? So now that we have this $10, we have a couple of options on what we can do, so we start with our $10 care pass money that we initially paid with our $4 or $5 investment and not only do we double our money, but We also have all these products, so we shop very smart and that's what you want to do at CVS is take CVS money and use it in a transaction and that will produce more CVS money so you don't.

I'll never have to spend your money again, so I could take this $10 and I could rip it off my receipt and I can immediately use it on another transaction if I want, so I can take it and use it on anything with certain exceptions. at the store like liquor and tobacco and things like that, but I could take it and spend it immediately or I can hold onto it until next week when I come back to do more shopping and can spend this $10 to pay. for that and get more money back from CVS and that's the essence of spending your extra money from week to week.

Now I'm going to choose to hold my CVS money until next week and use it on next week's transactions to earn more. CVS money but you can take it and you can buy whatever you want with your $10 and I don't want you to get caught up in the particular deal we made. I want you to understand the concept of what we did because that's how you succeed at CVS if you understand the concept of investing your money in deals that will make more money. You don't want to spend your deals on things that won't give you any extra money, so it's very important that you buy things that are on a promotion that will get you more money from CVS so you don't get caught spending a lot of your own money.

Something important to keep in mind about coupons at CVS like CVS or rain checks, so if you set out to buy a particular product or do a particular deal and then you got to your CVS store and they were completely sold out and the Shelf was empty when you arrived, which happens sometimes if you don't get to the store early in the morning. week if it's empty CVS will give you a rain check and I love CVS rain checks because CVS rain checks are actually good forever they never expire so you can come back if you know if this store was out of this John and I wanted to come.

Come back later in two weeks in two years and get these large bottles of Don for $4.99. I could do it if I had a rain check, so whenever you have an empty shelf definitely get a rain check before that purchase. I have rain. CVS checks that are actually eight to ten years old, so they never expire, you can keep them and you never know when they'll come in handy. Another important note about coupons at CVS is that it doesn't matter what order you present your coupons in. I get a lot of questions from people who are used to shopping at dollar stores like Family Dollar and Dollar General, who have gotten used to having to present their coupons a certain way at CVS, it doesn't matter, just hand out all the coupons. and let the magic happen.

Something else that is magical about coupons at CBS CB Authorization, so CVS has a great authorization, you should always pay attention to these yellow signs and what you should keep in mind about CB Authorization is that if you want make an Extra care book is being generated for the sales promotion that normally won't be generated on clearance purchases, so if these items here, look at this stapler, were on a sale where you get back a book of extra care of $5 for the purchase, but that sale will be void. for clearance price, so that extra care book won't be printed; however if you had a coupon for the staple gun you can use that coupon let's say you had a $5 coupon and you can get this staple gun for just a dollar and 74 cents randomly I know but I just want you Understand the concept that you can use your manufacturer's coupons and your CRTs on clearance, but the Extra Care Dollars usually won't be printed for this, so I hope you now understand the concept of shopping at CVS.

The basics packed, so I'm sure you're probably thinking, "Okay, so now where do I start with my first trip? So the first thing you want to do if you want to get started is shop at CBS next Sunday." is to go ahead and log in to I heart CBS comm. I log into the website and familiarize myself with these sales announcements. Review sales brochures and mark offers that seem interesting to you. Sites like I heart CBS comm are great because they actually give you a breakdown of the extra money offers so you can see what will be on sale and what is making you extra money.

Go ahead and compare those sales to the coupons you know you already have and get ready to get your CRTs at CVS and combine them with the manufacturer coupons and if you're someone who doesn't get CRTs at CVS, I get that comment a lot like I don't get those coupons of the Redbox machine, don't worry about that. If you've been following me for a while, then you know that I actually just started getting CRT at CVS. I don't know, maybe three months ago I had shopped here for over 10 years without getting CRT or whatever reason my account just didn't.

I don't understand love and yet I made the magic happen every week. You can go back and watch my old CVS videos to see how I shopped for many years without CRT, so there is still a lot of magic to be done as long as you understand this. fundamental concepts, so check below in the description box. I'm going to have some resources to get you started, kind of like a quick start guide so you can start shopping at CVS and let me know if you have any questions, subscribe to my channel if you haven't already because we shop at CVS every week and the more you do this, the better you will be, so I promise you that the more you do it, it will be like clockwork for you and you will be shopping every day.
