[shay91008]

Well honestly I dont think Im the most addicted..........but its pretty bad.
Am I the only one who dreams about CVS deals/plans??LoL I hope not,I only
go to cvs maybe 2x a week though.

[couponclippin'momma]

My name is Melissa & I am an addict. I get my "fix" at LEAST 5 days a week, sometimes mulitple times in 1 day. I know over half of my CVS employees "a.k.a. dealers". They are all very nice. I don't know if i'm the MOST addicted, but yes I am a CVS addict that is not looking for rehab anytime soon!!

[YouMe&3]

LOL

I'm not telling ...

[queenbear]

Anyone who reads this forum is addicted to CVS. Once you get you first free items or the little increase in your ECB and the lil oop you instantly you get that giggly rush feeling..and can't wait for the next CVS fix..I bet there isn't one person here who doesn't visist CVS mulitple times a week no matter how big or small there shopping maybe.

Lets just say... they know my name..my kids names...and probably my pets names!

[Kt&Cj'sMama]

Hello, my name is Mary and I am addicted to CVS. Is there a twelve step program available? Oh screw it, I like my addiction!!

I know Im not the one to be crowned though... I think it should go to the lady (moon) with the JUMBO purchase! She's amazing!
You know when you jump into a tank for your ecb's, your serious!

[michele767]

I am not nearly as addicted as I was a few months ago. Without the XX/XX coupons, I don't buy things that I used to buy there such as milk because the deals aren't as good. I used to be VERY addicted! I used to go 2-3 times a week but now I go once a week or sometimes less when the deals aren't as good. Maybe it'll pick up again in the fall.......

[Clyde's Mom]

I am addicted. My deals keep me up at night..."how can I rearrange stuff to get the lowest OOP? Will I be able to go tomorrow evening? What if I can't, what will I do?!?!?!?" Yep, I am an addict. Maybe not severe as some other people on AFC (I'm not mentioning any names!) but it is pretty bad. But give me time...I am new to CVS, I am sure it will get worse.

[girlygirljess05]

Sadly I am very addicted. I started shopping at CVS only 2 weeks ago and I've already bought over $1000 worth of stuff, but about $200 was from somewhere else. But I only spent $40 for all of it! I go to CVS 7 days a week, and I go to atleast 2 sometimes 3 different stores each day, which is kinda sad seeings the closest one, other than the one that is right beside my house is about 30 minutes away. I got my hubby doing it now too, . He went in and bought 10 packs of trident gum and 2 baby products yesterday at two different stores, and he loves doing it too. I spend hours on this site figuring out my next bargain, and I fall asleep thinking about the best way to get my deals, . Shoot my hubby will be trying to kiss me or talk to me and I'm still thinking about CVS! I think I need CVS rehab!

HAHA, anyone who has their manager make a $700 order for them is addicted, !

[lsdientz]

I'm in denial. I'm not addicted at all. I was just told the other day that I should not plan a family vacation around CVS. I repeat, I don't have a problem, nope not me, not at all!!

[juliemama3]

Hello, my name is Julie and I'm a CVS junkie. I go there about 3 times a week. I would go more often, but I HATE HATE HATE taking my 4 kids(all under 5) there. I LOVE LOVE LOVE getting the deals, so I bear with it 3 times a week.

I wish they had larger shopping carts!

[bnsmith]

My name is Brittany and I am an addict. I have dreams about CVS and what deals I can and cannot do each week. I make trips to the store on Saturday mornings just to make sure all of my pricing is right for Saturday evening so I can get the current week sales and the next week sales. I make 5-7 trips to CVS per week. Sometimes I even go twice per day. The cashiers all know me by name. I spend hours each week working on deals and calling my mom and grandmother to tell them what great deals I have been able to find for the week.

[focadima]

oooh I had a nightmare--uhhh dream last night taht I had all these BOGO free coupons and couldn't get to the store by saturday night--LOL--it actually woke me up from solid sleep--LOL

I love to go spreading out my shopping to a number of different stores...3 or 4 times a week

[angel nee nee]

I go about 5 times/week too. Occasionally multiple times/day if needed, or chance arrives. and it's all same store..... I do not have a choice. I have no shame. And if I have to take both two kids with me everytime I go, so be it.

Cashier says they talk about me......

I soothe myself to sleep thinking about CVS deals.

I know at any time by memory how much each items on sale/promotion cost. And am curriculating all the time in head to make best deal. I think my math skill must have gotten much better since I started CVS.

[kdw11]

Dreaming must be a common theme... because I dream about it too. Especially the night before a big planned trip.... I dream about different deal combinations, what stores I will hit, what coupons I need to find, how I will handle the situation if it doesn't go well - which is always a concern!

[Mom2ThreeLovesCVS]

I was soooooo addicted a few months ago. Lately though, CVS just isn't working for me anymore. And by lately I mean just the past few weeks! Hopefully it'll pick up again soon, I miss my CVS deals. I've even started cheating on CVS, Walgreens is right next to CVS and the other day I went there instead! Cheap diapers would make any Mom do that though!

[SwampQueen]

I've been to CVS every day since Sunday.
Last night, I had dreams about combining deals with coupons.

But I don't have a problem.
I can control it. Really.

I still nominate Moonflower. She's hardcore.

[auntB]

I will admit to CVS being my favorite drugstore. It is common for me to stop at CVS on the way home from church, before lunch, on Sunday and then go to another CVS after lunch. If the deal is really good, go back to CVS after church Sunday night. During the summer on Mondays while out grocery shopping, also stop at atleast four different CVS stores. During the school year I stop at atleast one CVS every other day, usually two. All the employees welcome me by name and when my married kids go to CVS with me, the employees and my family have lengthy conversations and laughs over my frequent visits. I have done workshops on CVSing 101 and often have employees tell me I know the deals better than they do. I share a lot of my freebies from CVS with my college students and try to teach them how they too can get things for free. The first thing out of some of their mouths when they see me is not "Hi, how are you doing" but "Hi, how'd you do at CVS today" In all my transactions I have NEVER spent more then $5.00, usually less then a dollar per transaction but have hundreds of items. Only thing better for me would be to work there so I could get the employee discount

My vote is for the moms that shop at CVS with young children. To shop at CVS on a regular basis with children and try to figure out the deals with ECB's so as not to have a huge OOP deserves a metal!

[angelmomma]

this post is so funny! Yes, CVS has kept me up at night and I've had dreams about ECB's
I go about 4 times a week and find an excuse to get there... oh it's on the way back from the bank, oh I need milk so might as well get some free stuff while I'm at it. The employees do not know my name but they probably recognize me and my 2 yr old by now. I have about 6 stores I can go to and I split it up.
I know my addiction is increasing b/c my daughter who just turned 2 asks CCS? (the way she says CVS) when I say we are going out. We pass the store and she screams CCS!!! and is really excited. When I buy her something there she says Thank you CCS!
so cute but makes me feel more addicted !

Ditto

[minimunklemama]

I am not too addicted (although my 6 year old has a card!!!)
I did dream about it for a few days when I first figured out how to get stuff for free with the help of all of these posts.

That is funny, my daughter also does that too when we pass by one or she will ask if we are going to CVS when I say we have to run to the store. Target is a close second though.

My dh thinks that I am probably one of the most addicted (his actual word) person but he doesn't know you guys. If it weren't for all the guys/gals on this board and all the help/advice that I have read I would still be paying for wipes, dipes, razors, lotion, bodywash - you get the idea.

[delligirls3]

Can't wait for school to start so I can go MORE!! LOL Is that bad?
