Need some mascara this morning and I found myself in the Olay aisle at CVS. Not only were all the Olay products discounted, but CVS also was offering $10 "bucks" for a $20 purchase of Olay products.

Well, a girl can always use the pre-moistened wipes to get rid of left-over mascara and make-up, so I picked up a pack of those and then one more product to get the "bucks." If you're not a CVS customer, when you use their red "Extra Care" card, you occasionally get a buck, or $3 or even a $10 discount on new purchases.

The bucks systems is great if you're a frequent CVS shopper as I am. I bought my Olay purchases then returned to the counter to buy one more item, using my $10 in bucks. Got that $15 item for only $6.

And as Super Saver Kathy would tell you: Use your coupons first, then your extra bucks. That makes the discount go even further. -- Marcia "Bargain Hunter" Pounds
