Today's Savings

I made Mike stop at CVS today.  Mind you, he's been a trooper with me through all of this.  His fear is that we will waste money on items we don't need and get caught with a stock of stuff we don't need to keep a stock of.  So before we left to go he said, "You're telling me that what we buy will be free as in I won't need to even use my debit car?"  Of course, the answer was yes.  As soon as we got there I went straight to what I had planned to buy.  I earned about $13 in extracare savings bucks from this last weekend and I was going to use them on their coke sale, buy 3 cases for $10.  Also, I had two coupons for $1 off any two Mars brand easter candy items from the newspaper.  So I bought 3 cases of coke zero and 4 snickers chocolate eggs (for you know who's basket).  In the end I didn't need to use $3 of my extra care bucks, but I did have to use .28 cents because if you redeem one of your bucks for that low of an amount, you lose the rest of your money.  No debit card and I still have $3 in extracare bucks to spend.  Wish I had more time to tell you how I earned those $13.  It has to do with their instant savings promotions and the CVS moneymaker deals I searched for on the internet.
