Since Extra Bucks are the foundation of saving at CVS, free ones are an added bonus. CVS has a "green" program which rewards you for using your own shopping bag. They sell "green bag tags" for $.99 and when you shop and refuse a bag they scan the tag and with four You can find them hanging by the checkout, by the ads and I also saw a new display for reusable bags with them on. Here are the details of how the tag works from the CVS website:

I love my Green Bag Tag! I always bring my own bag anyway so this is just an added bonus (especially since I picked up my GBT for only $0.50 after a scanner coupon). I really like having the low value ECBs for those times when you are only picking up one or two small things. This week the only deal I really wanted was the Trident so I used my green tage ECB and didn't have to worry about doing any math or coming up with a filler item. Great program!
Yes, Caroline, those $1 extra bucks are great to have. I always remember my bag, and my tag is attached,but I don't always remember to have them scan it. I chat too much, I think, and we forget to do it since they have to scan a product first.
Hi everyone!
I love my green bag tag too! I must say it's a little tricky though because it's yet another thing to remember. It took me a while to get the order of everything right: card, purchases, green bag tag, $/$$ coupons, mani coupons, ECBs! Phew! I also agree that low value ECBs are welcome, I can never figure out how to spend the high dollar ones (>$8) because I mostly do small trips of just the very best deals that are just enough to use my $3/$15s!
Hi, Shannah! $3/15's, I miss my $/$$'s :( . Glad to hear you get them. It is confusing to get it all correct. I read a hint on a couponing board, one gal super glued her tag to the back of her card to help her remember.
