Everyone wants something for free. Add me to the list. I'm not in the position where I can look a gift horse in the mouth.
I signed up for a CVS Extra Care card earlier this week to add to my arsenal of rewards cards. I'm still not exactly sure how it works, so I won't go into details that could be wrong.
The deal of the week for CVS was on Revlon beauty tools. Long story short, in theory, if you purchased two basic nail clippers for $2.99 each, you would get $7 in rewards bucks to spend at CVS in the future. In essence, CVS would be paying you to take them.
Of course when I went to CVS on Wednesday to grab a bunch of nail clippers, they were sold out. I wasn't too surprised. After all, I'm not the only savvy shopper in the area.
However, CVS has a rewards kiosk in the store. I scanned my card and got a coupon for $1 off Gold Emblem chips which are priced at.... one dollar.
So, even though I'm not a big chip eater, a free bag of chips is a free bag of chips.
