This is the first $1 I've earned on my bag tag... Maybe I'll start remembering to bring it with me more often!
I'm also learning that doing smaller, more simple trips is so much easier for me. If they happen to be out of one item, my whole scenario isn't thrown off. Does that work for you? Or do you try to make each trip more worthwhile by getting as much as possible.

I started getting my bag scanned when this program first came out and it has really paid off. Especially after I started carrying the bag with the tag in my purse, so it's so much easier to get it scanned and not forget it in my car.
Smaller is much better for me too! If they are out of an item it throws me wayyy off. My tag on my CVS bag always manages to stay in my car!! I always forget it!
Great job! My mother-in-law crocheted a tote bag for me so I tied the green bag tag onto it. It holds a TON of CVS stuff. And it reminds me to carry it with me.
