Throughout the promotion, ExtraCare members can stock up on everything they need to prepare for the start of school, and receive a bonus $5 gift card to help save money on future shopping trips."
Customers can find qualifying products in the CVS/pharmacy circular beginning August 11. Products included in the promotion range from backpacks and lunch boxes to school supplies, glue and binders from many popular national brands as well as Caliber, a CVS/pharmacy exclusive line of home and office supplies.
