If you missed my money-saving tips this morning on B105.7, here’s the rundown!
Flash Sales at Target & Meijer:
By now you’re surely familiar with the multitude of options for “flash sales“. They’re here for a day, usually with free shipping, then they’re gone. What you may not know is that both Target and Meijer have their own versions.
Target’s Daily Deals:
Meijer’s Big Steal:
You certainly can find some deeply discounted products, and you can’t beat the free shipping offers. But I’d caution you to do your research, make sure the item is in fact at the best price you’ve seen, and that it’s something you were looking to buy anyway. Otherwise you’re buying on impulse, like I do when I see Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, lol!
CVS Extra Care Bucks
When you have a CVS Extra Care card, you can get all kinds of savings plus earn Extra Care Bucks (ECB) on your next purchase.
If you’re a contact lens wearer, they have Bausch & Lomb Renu Sensitive Solution for $7.89.
They also have Paper Mate Grip pens, an 8-ct package for $1.99, with $1.99 back in ECB for your next visit.
I have a slight issue with saying it’s “free” or a “moneymaker”. You will pay out of pocket initially in order to receive the Extra Care bucks. But providing there’s not a long line behind you, and you have other shopping to do, you can (politely, please) request to split your shopping up in 2 (or more if you have a REALLY nice cashier!) transactions. Apply the ECB you received on the first purchase, to the 2nd transaction, and see how quickly your OOP will go down on that subsequent purchase. I have even purchased a gallon or two of milk at CVS as my 2nd transaction, to get it nearly free after using the previous ECB.

You may be one of the lucky ones to have a coupon printed out when you scan your CVS extra care card in-store, for a 12-pack of Pepsi or Diet Pepsi for just 99¢, valid today only.
My sister forwarded me an email she received about the promotion from CVS, however when I went in and scanned my card, I had 3 coupons print out for first aid and diabetes products 
. So apparently I wasn’t lucky enough!
But you may be – so head to your local CVS, scan your CVS Extra Care card at the kiosk and see if you can get your Pepsi 12-pack for just 99¢!
