40. I love CVS

and I especially love their "extra bucks" program. There are so many discounts available at CVS it's amazing. If you work at it just a little, ie, read the weekly ad flyer, you can save so much. In addition, there are multiple ways to earn extra bucks and extra bucks are the same as real money to CVS.

I've never had a problem at their pharmacy and have filling scripts there for years.
