There are more CVS freebies than in April, though most of the purchase limits are set to three, instead of the usual five. With a new coupon valid for $3 off any $15 purchase (through 06/06/2008), May is a great month for CVS shopping.

To answer a few common questions:

• It is NOT necessary to purchase the full limit in one transaction. Purchase any quantity, including one, of any item below, and receive an ExtraCare Buck equivalent to the purchase price.
• The ExtraCare Buck(s) will print at the end of your receipt and can be used like cash to pay for future purchases.
• You can check out in multiple transactions, and use the ECBs from one transaction to pay for another transaction.
• Use manufacturer coupons if you have them, to make the items below even better than free!

Earlier this month, I posted an article about a website for the sole purpose of obtaining a CVS coupon.  (Thanks for the coupon, Mr. Website, and we hope you don’t feel too used and abused by us CVS shoppers.)  The site actually seemed interesting, I made a note to return later, and fast forward to almost four weeks later…the website is a better find than the CVS coupon!  (As my husband would say, “Never step over a twenty to pick up a penny” .)

For those of you who shop CVS, you probably remember the name of Wellness360 as the generous CVS coupon portal.  There’s a reason, however, that this site is titled Wellness360 and not CVS360…the focus is on physical health with financial benefits, and no purchases are required.  You won’t earn a $1 ECB for purchasing a candy bar, but you will earn money for tracking the CVS candy bar you ate while no one was watching!  You’ll also earn money for tracking every aspect of your physical health, from dieting and weight loss to medications…you’ll earn money for each visit to Wellness360.  Additionally, Wellness360 will reward you with a percentage of the cash that your friends and family earn after you refer them to their site.

Thanks to Andrea for emailing this information about the Airborne class action settlement.  The claim is that Airborne made false claims about it’s ability to cure and prevent colds.  If you purchased Airborne before November 29, 2007, you’re entitled to a refund.

If you still have your receipts, there is no limit to the number of purchases for which you may receive refunds.  (By the way, all prescription and non-prescription purchases are tax-deductible, so save all of those receipts!).

If you no longer have your receipts, you may submit up to six product purchases for reimbursement.

Used in combination with the $5 off $15 CVS coupon posted yesterday, these will actually be better than free.  ExtraCare Bucks (or ECBs) print at the end of your receipt, and are the equivalent to cash…use them at CVS to purchase anything in their stores, with the obvious exceptions of gift cards, money orders, stamps, lottery tickets, prepaid phone cards, alcohol, tobacco, and prescription items.

We’re leaping, CVS, we’re leaping!  1GR8Mommy42 and Money Saving Mom are Leap Day heroes for CVS shoppers, for finding this cleverly hidden gem and passing it along!  This $5 off $15 coupon and $30 gift card for a transferred prescription are good through March 31st.  If you’re not familiar with CVS shopping, it’s coupons like this, combined with Extra Care Bucks, that allow shoppers to purchase items, while spending little or no cash out of pocket. 

This month’s coupon is not the typical CVS website-hosted coupon.  It’s available for printing (unlimited copies) after enrolling with wellness360.  To receive your PDF of the $5 off $15 and $30 gift card (with transferred prescription) coupons, follow the steps below.

Thanks to Linda for passing along this follow-up offer from Empire National Nursery!  America’s first 24-hour online nursery, Empire quickly ran out of trees to give away for National Arbor Day, but promptly responded with a $5 gift certificate offer to make up for the lack of seedlings.   

Shipping starts at $5.95, and their products include trees, plants, and even…jewelry!  They have several items priced under $5, and a couple even as low as $0.01.
