Free School Supplies!

CVS is giving away school supplies through Tuesday, July 14th.

You may think that it's too early to be thinking about school supplies, but as any good bargain shopper knows, buying out of season is one of the secrets to getting great deals.

Take your Extra Care card to CVS today or tomorrow, and you can get 2 1-subject notebooks, 3 8-ct packs of Paper Mate pens, 2 pairs of 5" pointed or blunt tip scissors, 2 bottles of school glue, and 2 12" plastic or wood rulers - ALL FOR FREE!

With three college students in my family, those school supplies will definitely come in handy.

Don't have a CVS Extra Care card? You can get one of those when you go to pick up your free school supplies!

Don't have a kid in the family who needs school supplies? Donate the items to any number of charities who collect school supplies for needy children, give the supplies to a school teacher - he/she will know of needy children, or just drop them off at your nearest elementary or grade school.

This is a quick and easy way to do something good for someone in need without having to clip and organize coupons. Just make sure you use those CVS Extra Care Bucks before they expire in 1 month or all your savings go out the window!
