CVS

When we lived in Syracuse, I did a lot of shopping at CVS. Walmart was too far away for me to run to just to get ibuprofen, and I really hated going into Dollar General. It was too crowded for me.  The prices at CVS were a little bit higher, but once I joined their Extra Care Plan and started looking for coupons, it was pretty comfortable to what I could find at the discount stores.

When we moved to Florida, I really didn’t think that I would shop at CVS anymore as there was a Publix, Aldi, and Walmart all within a couple miles of my house. Around that time I started to realize that the Extra Care Plan had gotten even better. For $49 a year, I could get $10 gift cards each month and 20% off all CVS brand products. They also always seemed to be sending me different rewards and percentage off coupons that saved money as well. Soon, I started realizing that it was actually cheaper to shop at CVS than any of the other stores around. The best part was, I could order it online and within 15 minutes pick it up at the front of the store.

Meg and Cameron make fun of me when I tell them all the money that I save at CVS. I know they’re just giving me a hard time, and I don’t mind. Two weeks ago, I got a free box of hair color saving me nine dollars and last week I bought shaving cream for $.46. Each time place an order, I save almost half of what the product costs.  Even when I check the price at Walmart, I can’t get it for that low of a price. I would also have to do the shopping to find the product. Thus, I’ll take my children’s friendly joking and keep shopping at CVS. Nothing feels better than saving money.
