Are you scanning your card at the CVS red machine?

If you are couponing or shopping at CVS please remember to scan your card at their red machine.  Actually, remember to scan it twice, right in a row.  Yup, that's right.  1 of my local CVS's even has a sign along the lines of "it's doubly nice to scan your card twice."  I cannot stress enough about scanning your card every time you walk through that door, even if you are only grabbing a prescription or something.
I have been getting so many great coupons from this machine.  And, of course the best part is you can use them on top of manufacturer's coupons.
An example: Say this week's Colgate deal it says buy $10 & receive $5 ECB.  I have manufacturer's coupons & a coupon I printed off of CVS site (CVS coupon) and a red machine coupon for $2 off $8 worth of toothpaste/mouthwash purchase (no brand named).  This means that I can use ALL 3 of these coupons together.  Yes, that's right all 3!
Please remember to scan your card at the Red machine :)
