I have stumbled somehow on to a immense supply of CVS blogs, and slowly started to become addicted to reading how these people are shopping at CVS and saving tons of money.  For a couple weeks, I was tempted but couldn’t believe it was actually possible to get things that cheap or even free.  CVS has a extra care buck (ecb), that they give out sometimes for certain products. It’s just like a gift card for the store.  Combining these ecb’s and coupons is how people get free stuff.  

So this week I was off to CVS with my coupons on hand, and CVS flyer, and began searching for my hidden deals.  I found that Excedrin was on sale for $1.99, even though there was no sign, only stated in the flyer, and that I had a $2.00 off coupon, and for every Excedrin you bought you got $1 ecb.  So all in all, after being allowed to get five, I received 5 bottles of Excedrin for $0, and got $5 in ecb back.  

CVS actually paid me to buy Excedrin!!! Unbelievable!  I am officially addicted to finding bargains, and am taking the belief that there is a coupon out there for everything, if you only look hard enough.   This new venture I have begun actually aligns well with our new frugal lifestyle.  I am still in shock, and if you came to my house you would see the receipt on my fridge!
