I’ve heard of CVS’s Extra Care Bucks (ECB) program before, but I never really understood how it worked. It seemed very confusing and I wasn’t sure that I could take advantage of it. Sure, I’d read about other people’s success at getting a ton of items for very little money, I just didn’t think it applied to me.
Recently however, as I’ve been getting more involved in my finances and reading about other people’s methods of debt reduction and savings plans, I’ve seen many other bloggers using the CVS Extra Care Bucks program.

There is a bit of a learning curve to the drugstore rebates. Start with one or two rebate-able items on your first visit, work your way up to more complicated transactions.
