Here I go, again.

For those of you wondering about my CVSing, I'm going to try to keep it simple and encouraging.

There are great blogs that explain, step-by-step, how to collect coupons, earn extra care buck, and combine your order to make the most of the deals. Reading these blogs is how I learned little by little, and now I've got the hang of it. Feel free to click on pic to enlarge and see the "breakdown" on receipts.

this Mom lives in N.VA, also. I'm waiting to see her shopping in "my"CVS.http://sahmmoney.blogspot.com/2008/04/cvs-this-week-427.html

These blogs often give links of what is on sale, so you can print it for yourself, or know where to find it,..ie.. Washington Post, etc...

Honestly this takes me a chunk of my time to gather the coupons, but it's allowed me to purchase items, I'd otherwise not afford.

This is my purchase today. I made three transactions. And, accumulated 23 items.

I spent $20.71, and have an extra care buck worth $5.00.

So, 23 items for $ 20.71. That's .90 each item. Now, that's not bad.

These are items, I'll give to my Mom or put in storage for later. Maybe even put a bag together for someone in need. Now you may wonder what in the world will they do with 5 lint rollers? One in laundry room, one in each car, one in each top drawer dresser. Now if you see me out and I'm covered in lint, remind me .
