CVS: New Green Bag Tag Program

It’s great to see companies making efforts to be more green and I am happy to share that CVS is doing just that.  CVS has rolled out their new Green Bag Tag Program.  Buy a Green Bag Tag for $0.99 each and attach it to your own reusable bag.  Every time you choose to have your items bagged in your reusable bag, the cashier will scan the Green Bag Tag.  After the fourth time the card is scanned you will get $1 ECB back.  The fine print on the card states that “To earn Extra bucks for a transaction in store, your Extra care card, green bag tag, and reusable bag must be presented w/ purchase at checkout. Limit of one green tag use/scan per day per household. Every 4th purchase your ECB will print at the bottom of your cash register receipt as a $1 coupon good for your next purchase. Extra bucks can be used until the exp. date shown on the coupon.”

Sounds like a win-win program for every one.  I am happy to see this program roll out.  If you ever shopped at CVS you know you could walk out of there with tons of plastic bags.  It’s great to see CVS make an effort to make it attractive to their customers to bring in and use their own reusable bags.

Thanks Couponing to Disney for the heads up on this.
