I happened across your blog from imommies.com and saw you used coupons to CVS. I was just wondering where you got those from. I can not believe how much you saved from there. I am just a beginner and love reading about other's savings and trying to learn from them.

I would love to take you Nikki! I think you know crystal over at moneysavingmom. I love reading her stories and how she saves. She is a real inspiration. I think her link is on my sidebar, if not I will put it up.

Blessings!!!

Hi Sharon. Thanks for stopping by. Stop by Crystal's blog at Money Saving Mom. She has some awesome tips and she is a veteran at the CVS thing. Her link is on my sidebar.

The coupons. The $10/$50 came from receipts. They had printed at the bottom of 2 different ones in the past. The $4/$20 came via email. One this week and one last week. Sign up for their emailing list and they will start you off. Just go to www.cvs.com.

Right now there are no new coupons circulating out there that I know of. Usually when there are Crystal at money saving mom is the first to know and she will post the links on her site.

I hope this helps and I hope you become a regular. Many blessings and the CVS thing will come with ease in time. Blessings!!!!
