I love to shop! One reason I work is to fuel my addiction to shop. Well, I stumbled across some frugal money saving blogs and was very interested in what they had to share. One blog, money saving mom, listed ways to save at the grocery store with coupons and freebies that are offered. Another blog, the centsible sawyer, shared savings at CVS and Walgreens. I was hooked! I read their posts and others that shared on their blogs and then decided to try it for my self. The pictures below are for several weeks and the deals that I received are not longer available. Here is how I did.

As you can see some transactions were better than others but I am just learning how to work it to my advantage. I am particular proud of the $4.00 transaction and so was my husband. I try to go every week to get the deals but because life is so busy it was hard to get some of them and the store near me had sold out of items. It just isn't money saving if I have to drive all over town hunting down the deals since gas is so expensive. My laundry room is becoming a mini store with everything stacked on the shelves.
So I hope these transactions have inspired you to try to save a few pennies/dollars at your CVS or Walgreens.

Hi Cynthia, so glad to hear from you. Thanks for my birthday wishes!! Looks like you found some great things.
Wow Grat Job!!
Way to jump on board!!!
What do you need so much pain relief meds for, you have to buy double of everything and are these brands that you regularly use? LC
There are certain products that earn you Extra Care Bucks(ECB's) and you can only buy a certain amount of those certain products. Extra Care Bucks are printed out on your receipt. You can use these just like cash in the store. My extra products I am able to donate to those in need. For the pain relief, I kept two bottles and took the others to school and gave to the school nurse for the teacher medicine cabinet so that teachers that get a headache can get relief during the day. Just one way of blessing others!
Great savings. Where did you find the coupons to use?
