I also used a CVS $10.00 off coupon of a purchase of $50.00 or more which printed out on the bottom of a prior receipt.

So, on my shopping trip, I ended up saving $76.64 by using my CVS Extra Care Card, CVS coupons, and manufacturer's coupons.

In turn, I received $38.00 in Extra Care Bucks to use for future purchases.

Not too bad for an hour at the store! The coupons from the Sunday newspapers really paid for themselves this week!
