Ever wonder how people get stuff really cheap.
PennyPinchinMom spells it out for you!
I will admit that I’ve not been a good CVS’r of late. Many deals just didn’t appeal to my family’s needs, but this weekend, I saw several deals that really would work for us. So, I worked up my transactions, got my coupons together and ran several transactions. The important thing to note is that I started my transactions with 1 – $3 and 1 – $3.79 ECB from a prior weeks’ purchase. Here are the deals that I ran:

So, my grand total spent out of my own pocket was around $17. My total savings with coupons, ECBs and store deals was $86. When I net the $10 I still have not used with the $17 I spent, it is LIKE I paid only $7 for EVERYTHING today. Don’t you love a great deal? How did you do this week?
