CVS and ECBs for Beginners

Ok, so you have gathered a nice little stockpile of q's and you are ready to start getting in on some of these deals that you keep reading about. But what do you do first?

First, you need to make sure you have signed up and gotten your CVS Extra Care Card. This is your first key to savings. (You can do this right at the checkout counter, just ask for an application)

Now, you don't have to shop that day, let's wait until Sunday's ad comes out (Thursday in some locations). You get your Sunday sales paper out and you start looking at it. Grab yourself a pen and put a little asterisk * next to the items you are needing or the items that say you can get it free or for maybe 99 cents after ECB (extra care bucks) Make a list of those items.
