[QUOTE="1905, post: 442977, member: 2668"] Janet, you're just learning. Don't go into CVS until you check out your local food market store. CVS is a total rip-off unless you have the sales, mixed with the coupons....and even then sometimes you can do better elsewhere, so then it's not a bargain. Do this, it's easy: Get envelopes and label them, 1 for each aisle of your supermarket.( example, FROZEN) Put coupons for each aisle in the correct envelope Get the circular for your supermarket and circle the sale items you think you want to make meals with Now go through the circular again, take out one envelope at a time, and see the things you have coupons for, that are ALSO on sale. (you may not really need them, but they may be too good of a bargain to pass up) Then look through the CVS circular the same way- I have 4 envelopes for CVS - 1 for mouthwash, toothpaste, and toothbrushes, 1 for razors and soap and bodywash, 1 for candy and snacks, 1 for Misc- medicine stuff, like Nyquil. Don't buy anything there unless it's on sale AND you have a coupon. A lot of the coupons in the newspaper you may have to hang onto for a few weeks until the item goes on sale. They also have a lot of things that are totoally free only because they give you extrabucks back and you mix them with the coupons. Also- google some cvs coupon websites, they will give you scenarios of things you can get for free or next to nothing. You may not need them now, but so what, you'll need them later. Also, sign your extra care card up online- they will send you $4 off a $30 purchase every other week. I got the 10$ gas card, and I bought 6 of those 8 packs of paper towels- but I use them, I had a $4 off $30 and $9 extrabucks, so it cost me like $25, but I got the gas card and 48 rolls of paper towels. Maybe not the greatest deal I admit. Write everything down and plan each trip, it'll be worth it, you'll see. [/QUOTE]
