Clip2Save column: Shopping CVS for Savings, Part One
The CVS ExtraCare card is the key to saving at CVS
In 1964, the first Consumer Value Store (CVS) opened in Lowell, Mass. Since that time, the drugstore has grown to 7,000 locations throughout the nation. Couponers shop CVS because it is considered coupon friendly, has a strong reward card program and offers store coupons that can be stacked with manufacturer coupons. But, as with everything in couponing, you have to understand everything the store has to offer before you can get the best deals.
The ExtraCare Rewards Program
The key to savings at CVS is the CVS ExtraCare rewards card, which will celebrate 10 years in 2011. In order to participate, you have to register for a card in the store or online. ExtraCare members also receive special offers and coupons in the mail and email. When you sign up for emails, you will receive a $4 off $20 CVS coupon, that can be used with other CVS and manufacturer coupons. So, in order to take full advantage, you should register your card and email at CVS.com.
ExtraCare Bucks (ECB's)
The main component of the ExtraCare Rewards card is the ExtraCare Bucks. I’ve never met anyone who didn’t like one buck, so extra bucks is certainly something to love. It’s all in how you spread the ECB love.
ECB’s print at the bottom of your receipt and there are three ways to receive them.
- Each week, CVS has certain items for sale. The sales begin on Sunday and end on Saturday. Sale items include offers for Extra Bucks after the purchase of the item.
- Extra Bucks pays back customers two percent on purchases in the form of a coupon printed at the bottom of the store receipt. CVS also rewards customers with $1.00 to spend on front store merchandise for every two prescriptions purchased.
- You can also purchase a Green Bag Tag at CVS and a recycled bag. When you scan the tag and use it with a recycled bag, you will receive $1 ECB after four scans. You can only scan the card once per day.
Rain Checks
If a sale item is out of stock, then ask for a rain check. At CVS, the rain checks do not expire and you will still receive the ECB.
Coupon Policy
Last month, CVS finally released an official coupon policy. The entire coupon policy is online here but some key points are that CVS:
- Will accept manufacturers coupons, including those printed online.
- Can stack one manufacturer coupon with one CVS coupon per item.
- Can use coupons on sale items.
- Will not accept expired coupons.
CVS Coupons
CVS offers store coupons that can be printed from their website, from email offers, from the Reinventing Beauty magazine that is purchased in the store and from the CVS Kiosk.
- Your ExtraCare card can be scanned at the CVS Kiosk once per day. Scan the card once and CVS coupons will. Then, scan it again.
This week, register for an ExtraCare reward card and purchase a Green Bag Tag. Next week, I’ll have part two of shopping at CVS. If you want to go ahead and shop a few deals, look at the weekly match ups on www.southernsavers.com or www.hip2save.com. There are also CVS exclusive blogs at www.simplycvsshopping.com and www.iheartcvs.com.

Harvey H. Jackson: Alabama, No. 1 in more than football
Jun 19, 2013 | 75 views |
| 7 | | 
It was one of those headlines that simply dared me to write a column.
“Alabama cities lead list of porn-loving religious places, poll says”
My first reaction was not to take the dare. As we say down in south Alabama, “some swamps don’t need draining,” even if the swamp is AL.com, the face of new journalism in our fair state.
But something just didn’t seem right. What sorta poll would have pollsters calling up folks around the country asking them (1.) “are you religious,” and if they answered yes, following up with (2.) “do you love porn?”
So I checked it out, and guess who did the polling?
No one. There was no poll revealing that Alabama cities were high among the “porn-loving religious places.” The article beneath the headline was based on another article that was based on research undertaken by researchers working for PornHub.com, a pornography website, and published online by BuzzFeed.com.
PornHub.com bills itself as the world’s biggest porn distributor, which I doubt because there is no Wikipedia entry for it, and we all know that if it isn’t on Wikipedia . . . .
As for BuzzFeed.com, according to Wikipedia, it is “a website that combines a technology platform for detecting viral content with an editorial selection process to provide a snapshot of ‘the viral web in realtime.’” Huh?
Well, the “viral content” Buzzfeed detected was a report compiled by researchers at PornHub.com. (Dear readers, do not go to PornHub.com to see what it is all about. You might be scarred for life or, worse yet, find yourself a statistic in a research report like the one that was the subject of the BuzzFeed article. You have been warned.)
Now, I am not exactly sure how or why the folks at PornHub.com came up with the research project that led to the BuzzFeed.com article, but the decision might have been the result of a conversation among researchers employed by the porn site that went something like this:
Porn researcher No. 1 to porn researcher No. 2: “You know what I did over the weekend?”
(Look, surely porn researchers have lives outside the realm of porn research. So I imagine this sort of conversation was pretty common around the PornHub.com office.)
Porn researcher No. 2 replies: “No, what?”
(A reasonable response, given the options available to porn researchers.)
Porn researcher No. 1: “I took a look at that recent Gallup poll, you know, the one that ranked cities by how religious their residents were.”
Porn researcher No. 2: “So?”
Porn researcher No. 1: “People in those religious cities are into porn.”
Porn researcher No. 2 gets really interested and asks: “How do you know that?”
Porn researcher No. 1: “Because they visit our site.”
And with that revelation, the research that led to the article that led to the headline was set in motion.
I am not sure whether their inquiry was an effort to search out and expand a market niche, or if it was a way for porn people to fire a zinger at anti-porn people who seem to cluster under the Gallup poll category “very religious.” Whatever the motive, this is what they discovered.
Eight of the top 10 “very religious” cities where folks watch a lot of online porn are in the South.
Yessir.
The Bible Belt.
Of the remaining two, one was in Michigan and the other was Provo, Utah, in the heart of Mormon country.
Go figure.
This raises a number of questions, not the least being whether cities that aren’t “very religious” watch even more online porn than cities with significant “very religious” populations.
The porn researchers didn’t say.
What they did say was this: Of all the “very religious” cities that watch a lot of porn, the one that leads the list is Huntsville-by-gum-Alabama.
This set my mind reeling back to 2010, when the owner of a Huntsville adult-items store, “Pleasures” (“your one-stop romance shop”), challenged Alabama’s ban on sex toys, a ban passed by a Legislature that conveniently did not ban owning the items, just selling them. That allowed Alabamians, including legislators, one supposes, to go online and order — or just watch.
Which folks down in Montgomery are doing, for according to PornHub and Buzzfeed, Montgomery came in second in the race to the top of the “very religious” cities where citizens visit the PornHub website.
That leaves me with just one question: Do these Montgomery visits to the PornHub website coincide with the times when the Legislature is in session?
Now that would be really interesting to know.
Meanwhile, “Pleasures,” well aware of the needs and desires of Huntsville’s porn-watching citizenry, has expanded to five locations so it can better serve its customers.
The free market marches on.
