Holy Schmolly! CVS Rocks

I had the best CVS trip ever tonight!!!!

I went to a new CVS and totally hit the jackpot! Too bad it's 30 minutes away from me...

Spent 92¢ (87¢ of which was tax!) - so 5¢ for all of this!!! I didn't even have to use ECBs! The batteries were on clearance for $1.45 but the cashier used the $2 coupon, posted on each and every package, for the full value, giving me $4.95 overage that I applied to the clearanced night pants (for my nephew, who still wets the bed), I had a CVS coupon and the manufacture coupon for the Alavert (for my hubby) and the Mascara (34¢ each) and Elmo doll (69¢ for my son) were on 90% clearance. I'm on a total hight right now!!!

Total Saved on this transaction - $168.02. Plus I earned $3.00 ECBs on the Alavert. Now that was fun!

Make Money From HOME!

I've already talked briefly about CashCrate, Send Earnings, and InBox Dollars, but have any of you considered Pay Per Post. I don't know to much about them, but I'm giving them a try. My blog is "under review" with them, so I'll let you know in a week or two how it's going.

If you're interested in finding out more about the Making Money opportunties above, just click on their name and you can dive right in. If you want to learn with me about the Pay Per Post idea, click below.

CVS - 8/5/08; Fillin' my medicine cabinet

1 Bayer Vitamin, Clearanced down to $1.79 (used $2 coupon from CVS on vitamins, adjusted)

Pretty good if I do say so myself!

CVS - 8/3/08

Two stops, two cards, two Extreme Energy shots (actually four, since it's two per package!) Here's the deal:

Two Extreme Energy Shots - $4.99 each

Used $5.00 in ECBs for each transaction - SO FREE

Lost 2¢ in ECBs, but now have four Energy shots! Not sure what I'll do with them yet, but they were free!
