<\/p>\n
Aaahhhh! This month is so crazy! You know the phrase, \u201cthe calm before the storm?\u201d Well, the storm is here! Not only do we have important back-to-back appointments and events with family and friends, but there are also some major things happening\u00a0here at home. Combine that with travel plans, both recent and upcoming, and we will be\u00a0surviving on pure adrenaline starting now! Fortunately, my CVS app<\/a> is giving me a boost of help\u00a0but I’ll get to that a little later.<\/p>\n In addition to all of those plans,\u00a0Frans and I have decided that he will be making the leap to full-time blogger as well. He\u2019ll continue to support and write on Cookies & Clogs but will be spending more time on his dad\/male blog, Frans FYI<\/a>, and his site for Dutch travelers, Verover Amerika<\/a>. He ran a pretty successful digital magazine from before we met and, since he has been working alongside me these past six years of blogging, he has an incredible amount of experience in knowing how to best serve the community he will inevitably grow.<\/p>\n When Munchkin is better able to juggle the workload of high school, she will likely join us as a teen blogger\/vlogger. It\u2019s so exciting that this little venture has turned into something that is able to support our family. However, the whole notion is quite scary. To go from a traditional, secular job to working for yourself, and in a new space such as online media, it can be so unnerving. I just hope it all works out!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n As you know, I\u2019ve had the opportunity to work with CVS\/Pharmacy quite a bit. As I was chatting with the company about how CVS fits into my life, the official store\u00a0app immediate came up. Since my life is so strained right now, I just don\u2019t have the luxury of wasting any time and I have to make every minute count. That\u2019s why I love the convenience of using\u00a0my\u00a0CVS app<\/a>.<\/p>\n Just this morning I received an email to get $4 off my next purchase. Instead of having to cut out a coupon, print out the email, etc. I can simply send the offer directly to my ExtraCare card<\/a>. The card is already linked to my CVS app and the savings are instantly available. That way, the next time I go to CVS, the cashier only needs to scan the barcode on my phone and BAM! I will have just saved $4!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Oh, about the savings card. I never carry the physical card with me. I have too much stuff in my bag to fuss with finding loyalty cards. Plus, since my ExtraCare account<\/a>\u00a0number is already saved in my CVS\u00a0app, I only need to have my smartphone on me to save. And when do I NOT have my smartphone? The thing is\u00a0pretty much glued to my hand at all times so I can quickly\u00a0access\u00a0the\u00a0app whenever I need to.<\/p>\n Then there\u2019s the reorder feature. Once I use the app to order needed items, those selections are saved and can be easily ordered again. It\u2019s so nice being able to just tap \u201creorder\u201d and a list is populated with the products you use most.<\/p>\n A new feature in the CVS app streamlines the process of prescription. Starting out as a pharmacy, it just makes sense that CVS excels in making this easier for customers. Instead of having to use precious minutes to fill out information you\u2019ve filled out dozens of times before, you can simply show the app and the pharmacist can get you what you need. All of the necessary information regarding your account and prescription is saved so you only need to show the app and pick up your order. Nice, right?<\/p>\n <\/p>\nCVS\/Pharmacy ExtraCare & My CVS App<\/h3>\n
