The CVS ExtraCare card is the key to saving at CVS
The CVS ExtraCare card is the key to saving at CVS
slideshow

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.

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.

RMC opening critical care clinic in Piedmont

Regional Medical Center is expanding its reach into Piedmont, where the hospital plans to open a critical care clinic this summer. The hospital is partnering with the Piedmont Healthcare Authority to develop the clinic, being built adjacent to the Piedmont Nursing Home. The facility will become a key component of an emerging senior care campus there, but it will be open to everyone, said Benjamin Ingram, president of the authority. “It allows us to get some things done in Piedmont that normally we would have to go to Jacksonville, Anniston or Gadsden to have done,” Ingram said. The new facility will be staffed with a physician, at least one nurse practitioner, other nurses and office staff. It will offer a range of services, including treatment for general ailments such as colds and treatment for more urgent matters, said David McCormack, the chief executive of RMC. “It’s sort of like an emergency room, but not quite to that level,” McCormack said. The location of the facility is intended in part to help the Piedmont Healthcare Authority develop a more complete senior care center. RMC, meanwhile, is expanding its regional footprint in an effort to remain competitive as federal health care reform is fully implemented. “Now as health care is changing, we need to go out to the community,” McCormack said. “We have to cover the whole region.” RMC recently expanded to Jacksonville, where it bought the hospital there in December, as well as to Talladega, where it opened a clinic; it has plans to open facilities in Weaver and Roanoke. Piedmont Mayor Rick Freeman said the new facility will help the hospital and the authority meet their goals, as well as help residents of Piedmont and the communities that surround it. Ingram and Freeman said Piedmont has a shortage of physicians. Currently two physicians work in the city part time, and two others work full time. Of the two full-time doctors, one exclusively treats children and the other holds a second full-time job as the medical director at the nursing home, Ingram said. “We felt like we needed that,” Freeman said of the new center. “The impact is going to be very big for us.” Staff writer Laura Gaddy: 256-235-3544.

Ohatchee council wants to know what’s underground before accepting land from county

OHATCHEE — The Ohatchee Town Council is holding up a land transfer with Calhoun County until it can determine the extent of possible contamination in the area. While the Calhoun County Commission has already approved handing over to the town seven acres of land along Alabama 77, Ohatchee Mayor Steve Baswell said at a council meeting Tuesday he needs to talk to the Alabama Department of Environmental Management to make sure contamination from former underground storage tanks won’t cost the town money down the line. The town currently uses a building on the property as a maintenance storage facility and pays the commission $1 annually to rent the building. “Obviously I’d like to just own the property,” Baswell said. “But we got to make sure it’s not going to be more trouble than it's worth.” The property is close to another seven-acre parcel of land owned by the Ohatchee Volunteer Fire Department. Once the department completes a proposed storm shelter, it’ll give the land to the town, Baswell said. Also at the meeting Tuesday, Councilman J.M. “Butch” Mitchell suggested the council think about pushing for alcohol sales on Sundays for off-premises consumption. “If we look at what Anniston and Weaver have successfully done, maybe we should think about it, too,” Mitchell said. “I’m not talking about bars and hangouts, but people on the river who want to buy a six-pack. That’s money in our pocket.” Baswell said he was neither for nor against Sunday sales, but told council members if they were interested they would need to start thinking about pushing for legislation as early as possible. “It’s not just calling them up down there and saying we want to do it,” Baswell said. “It takes a lot of planning.” Staff Writer Brian Anderson: 256-235-3546.

J'ville planning commission finds Mountain Street rezoning proposal OK

The Jacksonville Planning Commission held a public hearing Tuesday night for the rezoning request for four rental properties located at 110, 114 and 116 Mountain St. NW and 419 Spring Ave. NW. Jane Self Burnham owns the four properties located near the intersection of Pelham Road and West Mountain Street. Her son Patrick Burnham, who served as her representative during the meeting, said one reason for the request is difficulty finding appropriate tenants. “These properties are important to our family,” Burnham said. “However, maintenance has declined over the past few years.” In addition to poor tenants, Burnham cited increased retail activity surrounding the rental properties near Alabama 21 as an additional need for rezoning. “Traffic on the street has increased,” Burnham said. “The Grub Mart and Burger King have changed the neighborhood situation.” Burnham said if the rental properties were to be rezoned for commercial use, his mother would ensure the properties reflect historic Jacksonville. “My mother is hoping the future of these properties will be appropriate and good for the entire community.” Burnham said. Burnham said he has made preliminary contact with a commercial developer from Atlanta who would be willing to come analyze the property value. He also mentioned that a credit union had expressed interest in the properties. Several residents attending the meeting were concerned about not knowing what type of business would be entering the neighborhood. Debbie Harper rents property on neighboring Spring Street and is concerned about a new business encroaching on her property. “I don’t want a business looking right into my home,” Harper said. “Not knowing what it’s going to do to my property value is a concern of mine.” Jacksonville resident Joe Donahue said he sees the business development as a positive move for the city. “I think having commercial property that’s owned by somebody in the county on this street is a good thing and will increase the city’s livelihood,” Donahue said. Following the public hearing, the commission determined the request was in compliance with the requirements of the city’s comprehensive land use plan and officially turned the item over to the Jacksonville City Council. The council will meet Monday at City Hall at 7 p.m. following a 6 p.m. work session. Burnham stressed that he and his mother will take the concerns of the surrounding landowners into consideration. “We are ready to move forward with this,” Burnham said. “We want the property to have the highest and best use.”
Piedmont City Council spends $48K to improve electrical substations

PIEDMONT — The Piedmont City Council moved forward Tuesday with one plan to spend some money that would improve its power system, but put off a decision on another that would help raise revenue for the system. At the urging of Piedmont electrical operations superintendent Phillip Johnson, the council voted unanimously to spend $48,000 to improve two municipal power substations. The substations are a critical part of the city-operated power system and without improvements the city can’t supply power to all of its customers when the electrical demand peaks. Separately, the City Council postponed a decision to increase utility start-up fees, an increase recommended by electric superintendent Casey Ponder. Council members cited concerns that the move might be unfair to some residents. Under the proposal, renters would have to pay $400 for utility deposits, while homeowners would have to pay $300. City officials who support the policy say the move would help the city recoup revenue lost to renters who leave without paying their last month’s bill. Councilwoman Brenda Spears said she thought the decision would be a mistake. “It’s a lawsuit waiting to happen,” Spears said. “You cannot discriminate between the people who can afford a house and the people who rent.” After Spears spoke Mayor Rick Freeman recommended that the council table the matter. The meeting closed amid controversy after Spears said the city clerk and mayor withheld public records from her, but City Clerk Michelle Franklin and the mayor disagreed. Spears said she asked for “single page utility sheets” for the months of February, March, April and May, but did not receive them. City officials said the sheets contain the names of each person who failed to pay their utility bills for each of those months. “From this action, in my opinion, I am being harassed and intimidated by them,” Spears read from a prepared statement. Franklin said she did not provide the documents because the mayor did not authorize her to provide them. She disputed Spears’ remarks. “I didn’t deny you any public records,” Franklin said. Freeman said he has not yet provided the documents because he was concerned it was not lawful to release them because they include residents’ names. In other business the council: — Appointed Kesha Mitchell to the Piedmont City School Board. — Selected Mike Ledbetter to be the chief of the Piedmont Fire Department. — Discontinued an agreement for animal control services with the Calhoun County Animal Control Center.

George Smith: I just love watching Ozzie ...
Jun 19, 2013 | 433 views |  0 comments | 18 18 recommendations | email to a friend | print

WEDNESDAY’S LIST . . . of beans ’n greens ’n other things:

***

DON’T TELL me I’ve nothing to do.

From the window of my barn I see Ozzie coming through the hedgerow from next door. I like Ozzie a lot, but I’m not sure he feels the same. Efforts to pet and feed over the years have been a flop at best.

What Ozzie likes to do is hunt. I mean really hunt.

You see, Ozzie is a brindle, bob-tailed, three-legged cat and he loves to feed on whatever he can find in the hedgerow across my back yard, including field mice and squirrels.

Ozzie is flat out deadly, too.

Since losing his right front leg to a tumor a couple of years back, he has taught himself a new way to hunt. He keeps stalking to a minimum. But with the patience of Job, he settles down and waits for a meal to come within striking distance.

When the meal does, it’s “Wham” and Ozzie heads for the dinner table.

He’s a wonder to watch ...

^^^

IT IS A typical day at the Smith Estate. I am out in my barn kicked back in what I call “Archie’s Recliner.” I am reading a book, listening to Merle Haggard on the stereo, and watching TV (how’s that for multi-tasking, huh?) The blonde is out and about.

The phone rings. It is from the blonde. She is at Sears in the Quintard Mall ...

“Sweetheart, I’m at Sears looking at vacuum cleaners. I can get a small one to go with a regular one. What do you think I should do?”

Recovering from the shock of her asking my permission for anything, I agree to the double dip and then make a mistake with “What’s going on, you asking my permission?”

From the other end, there is a happy laugh with:

“It’d be different if it were shoes and a dress.”

I managed a quiet goodbye (without choking), hung up, and went back to singing along with Merle. It seemed fitting he was in the middle of “I’m Gonna Sit Right Here And Drink” at the time.

^^^

JOE ESTEP deserves a standing ovation. Joe runs the Calhoun County Sports Hall of Fame and, this past Saturday night, put together another classic.

Held at the “new” Oxford Civic Center, the 2013 induction played to a near packed house.

Outstanding Joe, outstanding.

^^^

FOR THOSE asking, the Peach Man’s tomatoes are a week away, but Ken Easterling will be at Regions in Oxford on Friday morning at 6 with another load of Chilton County peaches.

If no sell-out in Oxford he heads for the Anniston post office along about 8 . . . but don’t bet he gets there.

^^^

IF YOU’RE lining up at the Walmart deli at Lenlock, I hope you get lucky and a young lady by the name of Vanesa Durham waits on you. She did for me a few days back and while I’ve had an unpleasant moment or two there, Vanesa left me feeling pretty good.

Walmart could use more like her.

^^^

BIRTHDAYS: June 12 – Annette Vice; June 14 – Sage Snow; June 15 – Twins Brettnie and Dakota Smith; June 17 – Aiden Lloyd; 11; June 18 – Don Beabout.

And Jeff Jones, June 17. A member of a vanishing breed (The Great Generation), Jeff drove a “weasel” jeep ashore at Normandy, June 6, 1944.

^^^

QUOTABLE: “My doctor tells me I should start slowing it down - but there are more old drunks than there are old doctors so let's all have another round.”

                       --Willie Nelson

Thanks for visiting ...
