-10.00 in ECB

As I learn the system and save more coupons, I am excited to see how much money I can save. I am also very excited about being able to purchase more items for the food bank at our local church. I guarantee I am going to be making purchases of items I don't need just to make money. I can't think of a better way to help our others by donating these items.

New Adventure

I don't remember exactly how it all began, but sometime this past week I ran across this website. I have spent way too much time looking at her blog and other people's blogs about how to save money. I thought I was good before, but I had no idea about how to shop at CVS and Walgreens. Everytime I went in there, I always thought they were too expensive and it would cost too much to shop there. Boy was I wrong!! (See my first CVS shopping experience).

As I learn about shopping at CVS / Walgreens and learn how to use coupons better, please be patient. If you have come across my blog and can make any suggestions please leave some comments.
