How to Save Money on or Get Free Halloween Candy


 


I love spreading news on how I get things for a discount or for free, and this time I just picked up $13.00 worth of free Halloween candy just because I use my CVS customer card. CVS may be a pharmacy but they also sell many other things including food and candy, and like grocery stores, they also offer a customer card for savings.

These store savings cards are given out by many stores, (for free) including Weis, Giant, Shop Rite, CVS, Sunoco, Exxon, Staples, Office Max, Pet Supplies Plus and I am sure others that I have not found yet, or are not in my area. Most cards offer you savings on the merchandise you are purchasing at the time, some stores offer discounts on gas at certain gas stations, and others give you money to spend in their store.

 I always recommend using the Weis card for extra savings on gas. For every $50.00 you spend in one shopping trip, Weis will give you 10 cents off  EVERY gallon of gas you buy at their gas station (which for me is right across the street from the supermarket). The other day I saved $1.20 for every gallon of gas I purchased, I was on empty (I wait until I will get the most for my savings) and I saved $13.20 on 11 gallons of gas. WHOO HOO!

Back to how I got Free Halloween candy.

Due to many recent illnesses in my family, I have had to go to the CVS pharmacy quite frequently and every time I do, I hand the cashier my CVS card. Most purchases count for what CVS calls “extra care bucks”, (I say most because things like cigarette purchases are not counted). What you get in return are coupons printed at the bottom of your receipt so you need to make sure you look at it carefully. I almost missed my $13.00, the cashier pointed it out to me when they handed me my receipt, what a surprise that was.

Some coupons will be for cash you can spend on anything in the store and others are for money off certain items. I am not sure how much needs to be spent in order to earn the $13.00 like I did, but I know that after I used that free money on my Halloween candy I got another coupon to spend $3.00. Now that was another great surprise.

Many places now have these savings cards that you can hook onto your keychain, if fact I have so many that I have a separate key chain just to hold all of them. Some of them do not get you much but some can get you great savings on food, paper products, cleaning items or like CVS you can save on whatever you choose like I did, free Halloween candy.

With the cost of living rising everyday it is getting harder to survive and every little bit helps. I do not consider $13.00 a little bit of money, in fact, I was really worried that I would not be able to afford handing out Halloween candy this year at all, but thanks to my CVS customer card I got totally FREE Halloween candy.
