Welcome to Still:Saving


I started couponing as a new wife in South Carolina. Our budget was very small, and I knew there had to be a way to get more for our money.

Over the years, friends have ask how I save so much money at the grocery or how I get all of my shampoo for free. This is my attempt to share the things I've learned over the years by playing the grocery and drugstore "game."

CVS101 - Part 1 - Overview

The first steps to getting started at CVS:

  1. Obtain a CVS Extra Bucks card (either online or in store)

  2. If you purchase prescriptions, use a prescription coupon (get a $25 CVS gift card with a new/transferred prescription) to help get you started.

  3. Buy a few items using your gift card that will be cheap or free after Extra Bucks to earn your first Extra Bucks.

  4. Now, roll your Extra Bucks - use coupons, Extra Bucks and your gift card to purchase toiletries, make-up, paper products, and more for FREE.

  5. Occasionally you can use manufacturer’s coupons to get items BETTER than free.
That's CVS in a nutshell, next we'll dig into the nitty gritty of how to legally walk out of CVS with lots of things you didn't pay money for.
