So, I was sitting in the student government office with a first year law student just hanging out and somehow we got on the topic of the store CVS. He gives me this weird look and asks "Do you like CVS?" Like it? It's only my favorite store in the world. And then he started to tell me how he gets hundreds to thousands of free stuff from them by artfully managing his way around the ExtraBucks system. Now, I have a CVS Extra Care Card, but I have no idea how it works. Sometimes coupons print out on my receipt, and that is great. Whatever. But, it turns out that there is a great scheme...I mean SYSTEM...where you can carefully buy certain products to get Extra ExtraBucks. You have to read circulars and clip coupons, which I was wary about but then this guy whips out his special CVS wallet (I'm totally not making this up) and shows me dozens of receipts he has for ExtraBucks.
My head is still a little bit fuzzy, but already I've made a trip to CVS to try this out. I had a receipt for $3.50 ExtraBucks. So, that's just like money. I pick up a can of shavegel that costs $3.49. So, I buy it - BUT, because of some shavegel special, they give you another $3.50 in ExtraBucks for buying it. So it's kinda like they gave ME $3.50 for buying Shavegel. Is that right? I don't know. I am the girl who thinks of a tax return as free money.
Anyway, this guy treats it like a hobby, which I question, but he's also sitting on free makeup and tampons for his girlfriend. I WANT FREE MAKEUP AND TAMPONS!
So that's my mission. To be continued!!!!

omg that is hilarious! Who wouldn't want free makeup and tampons. Do you think you could get free ice cream too? That's even multi-gender!
