My sister, out of all people I know, hasn't done much shopping with coupons -- that is until she moved to a beautiful apartment with a much higher rent. In the past year, I have tried to tell her that the way to save money on groceries and toiletries, she must buy a newspaper or two to get her maximum savings due to the coupon inserts. Since she's a workaholic, she doesn't have the time to coupon like I do so she's been taking baby steps. Hey, a girl's gotta start somewhere, … [Read more...]
My CVS Deals for This Week
November 20, 2009 by 2 Comments
It has been months since I had a great time at CVS (aka getting stuff for almost free) so I thought I'd let you all know how I managed to get back $18.00 in cold, hard CVS cash!

I'm … [Read more...]

I really haven't had "great" deals at CVS in awhile so when I saw this week's deals, I thought it was time to score some well needed stuff and other items too. So I went to CVS yesterday and I also got some free items as well. I had $20.46 in ECB's (two cards; hubby and mine) and my goal was to spend less than $5 but that didn't quite happen. Here's what did happen: This was done in two transactions: Sensodyne $4.49 ($.75 Q) Mylanta $6.00 ($3 Q) Motrin for Children … [Read more...]
