Hi! I’m JaLisa E. Vaughn…content creator, wife, and mom of three. I’m one always on the hunt for a good deal that doesn’t sacrifice quality. Whether I’m juggling school needs, running a business or squeezing in a self-care moment, I love sharing realistic routines, family life, and beauty finds & everything in-between with my community.

CVS just makes my life easier. It’s one of those places I can pop into for toothpaste and leave with everything from allergy meds to last-minute birthday cards and still feel good about the savings. Plus, I love how convenient it is with the app and ExtraCare deals. I always feel like I’m getting rewarded for things I needed to grab anyway.

Spring is that season where everything kicks up a notch with cleaning, allergies, outdoor plans… and CVS just gets that. Their Extra Big Deals make it easy to prep without overspending. Whether it’s stocking up on tissues for the allergy battles or cleaning supplies for a full house refresh, those deals come in handy and give peace of mind. Plus, it’s like there’s always one not too far from you making it that much much more convenient

Cleaning products and skincare. I always get a little too excited when I see brands I love for less, especially when I can bundle it with rewards from the app. And let’s not forget snacks because no CVS trip is complete without a quick snack aisle run for the kids..

Use the app! It’s a game changer. You can see your ExtraCare offers, clip coupons, and plan your shopping list before you even step inside. Not to mention check for BOGO deals, they add up. I also recommend scanning your card at the in-store coupon center. Little things add up fast!
