anon – I get better at CVSing with time! I love the free stuff or the moneymakers and I’ve been using them to help out my sister (a SAHM) and the rest of my family. Do you live in a house or apartment? I am currently stocked up on years worth of stuff! I love getting diapers and wipes for free too!
Another trick with all the CVS stuff – use it for gifts. We are giving my sons daycare provider a nice basket of spa type of stuff that I got free at CVS. I want to buy shrink wrap to make it look professional. Thats a good $75 saved! Also, you can make gift baskets for showers like “Welcome to your new home” and use a laundry basket filled with windex, pledge, ajax, toilet brush, paper towels, tissues toothpaste/toothbrushes etc…they will LOVE it and you wont have to spend money!! I’ve also sold a bunch of stuff (really discounted – they get like 50-75% off and I get money).
My target isnt that coupon friendly either, but I got a really nice mobile (tiny love) for $10!! I go there mostly for things I cant get at CVS.
Do you use mypoints? Its an easy way to get free gift cards to stores.
I also do ShopRite and Stop n Shop deals, but I hear the ones in Brooklyn dont double coupons. Is that where you live?
Joseph – my husband is very excited for cyber monday!!
