that's why we have a strong recession going go - because some people do not pay for goods they buy ;)))
CVS rewards you for shopping there with ExtraCare Bucks (ECBs) that you can spend as cash for anything you like.
ECBs are a form of payment, so the goods *are* paid for, even though we pay very little out of pocket.
I'll post a little tutorial on how it works if you are interested :)
lo, I really doubt the country's recession is due to a VERY small percentage of us getting a few freebies at CVS. Coupons and store reward programs aren't the reason for a recession!
