I am sure ( or at least hope ) you are already up to date on all the CVS deals. If not, you can visit many different sites to get the news....Money Saving Mom usually being my personal favorite. But, I also find useful information on other sites, too.
Anyway, Wellness 360 has the $5 Off $15 coupon available right now for CVS. Click here to go to Andrea's site , Mommy Snacks, to read how to get the coupon. It really helped in making the deals work for me this week.
So, anyway...here is what I am doing. I tweaked Crystal's Deal Ideas from her site and customized them to what I needed/wanted.

Total Extra Cash Rewards Earned = $9.99
So, next week, I should have $9.99 in Extra Care Bucks and $5.96 on my Gift Card!!
And, I am starting to get stockpiled on toothpaste, etc, so I am planning on either donating to a local charity or see if any of the moms in my Moms Club need any of these items.
Why would I buy some of these things if I don't need them. Well, many times, I MAKE money by buying these products. This is money I use every week, then, to buy staples I need. I usually pick my Milk, Eggs and Bread up at CVS or Walgreens now. This week, I needed cotton balls, and tortilla chips. We were also out of gum, could you tell? I use my Extra Cash Bucks or Register Rewards to get them free...thanks to buying these other items.
Why else? I like helping people. If I can give products to friends, neighbors, etc that may need the items, it makes me feel good. Also, if I can give it to a charity, even better. I could just cut a charity a check, but how often would you actually just hand a friend money and say here...just because! That is what I thought...not often. But, I can hand them a product and not think twice!
Have a Happy CVS Day!
