Biker Bob and Lily Bean had a great trip to CVS today. The icing on the cake was the Halloween event – Lily got a goodie bag with candy, glow sticks and a few high value CVS coupons inside. It also came with a free 5×7 picture of her in her costume, which they printed out right on the spot. She was SO proud to come home and present me with the photo gift – it was adorable. :)
Here is the CVS coupon policy. I suggest printing this policy and taking it to the store with you!
:: What’s the point of this? Each week we head to CVS to spend as LITTLE money out of pocket as possible- while generating as many ECBs that we can! Read my CVS 101 post to learn all about CVS and Extra Care Bucks.

Lily was more than happy to show off her Halloween goodies!
p.s. Bob told me that they tried to get Lily to stand in the middle of this lovely scene. But she refused to get any closer to Dracula and hugged the right hand side instead. Apparently the plump, witchy hobbit lady and zombie with Frankie Avalon hair was more appealing. LOL
Took my daughter dressed in her costume to CVS for a tiny sack of candy with like 3 tootsie rolls (not the one in the ad) and a copy of some coupons. There was no scene to take a pic with….very disappointed!
What a shame! It would be nice if they all offered the same thing. Do you think your store had run out of the goodie bags or were you were earlier in the day?
