The other day I was introduced to a concept at CVS called Extra Bucks. What it is, basically, is free money to use at CVS. When I discovered this, I was given 4 Extra Bucks. I decided to use it for some snacks.

The only caveat to the whole Extra Bucks thing is that you have to spend it all to use it all, you receive no change from it. Makes sense. With my purchase of a bag of Funyuns, a bag of crunchy Cheetos, and a pack of gum, I got decently close to $4.00 and went on my way.

As I checked my receipt, however, I noticed that I had received another 10 Extra Bucks! THIS was serious money in need of serious spending. I knew I would need help so I took my co-worker, who is still named Brenda, and went to the local CVS for snacks. Boy did we cash in. We purchased the following:

  • 2 bags of Funyuns
  • 1 bag puffy Cheetos
  • 1 bag crunchy Cheetos
  • 1 box of Brown Sugar and Cinnamon Pop Tarts
  • 1 bag of Dove chocolates
  • 1 bag of Reeces Miniatures

It was a good trip. We actually spent $12 or so. It was entirely worth it and my dentist agrees. I must be a preferred customer. I would prefer me. I can see that.

I received no more Extra Bucks, sadly, but I think we made out pretty well. Yes, I said it, Brenda and I made out.
