The CVS ExtraCare Coupon Clipper

In the same spirit as the Publix Digital Coupon Clipper for which I've received a lot of positive feedback and requests for similar functions for other stores, I also announce the CVS ExtraCare coupon clipper. These digital coupon sites don't like to provide a "Clip All" function.  I presume this is for some advertising purpose so you're forced to look at each one.  I like to have all the coupons clipped and if I happen to buy something there's a coupon it will just apply it at checkout. 

Plus with CVS being notorious for spitting out a whole roll of receipt paper with printed coupons, if they're all pre-clipped electronically on your CVS ExtraCare card I don't believe it will print them so you can save some trees.

Return of the Publix Coupon Clipper

My Publix Coupon Clipper bookmarklet has been offline for a while now due to changes that had been made to the to website code to disable it.  I like to think the changes made were specifically targeted at my bookmarklet, but it may have been purely coincidental too.  Regardless, my handy clipper was rendered inoperable with no way to circumvent what they had done to disable it.

For those reading this who are unfamiliar with it, I introduced the coupon clipper in January 2014 as a "Clip All" function that was (and still is) missing from the site to quickly and easily clip all the digital coupons so they'll all be ready and waiting when you checkout.  I revised it November 2015 to deal with some page changes, but in December of 2016 a change was added to the site that permanently disabled it.

Fortunately for us, they've re-written the coupon site using Vue instead of JQuery and the code that prevented the coupon clipper from working did not make the transition.  I've made the necessary changes to make it work with the new page, and it's working again!  So while it lasts...
