CVS'ing

On March 1st I started what is called CVS'ing. I started it because it was challenging and because I wanted to see how much I could get there for as little money as possible. Simply put it's buying the items that give you Extra Care Bucks (You have to use a CVS Card to get this) in combination with manufacturer coupons and CVS coupons to pay as little as possible for your transaction. I've used coupons in the past, but I haven't realised how much money coupons could actually save you until I started doing this. So far it's been pretty good. I've spent about $50 out of my pocket and I've gotten about $2500 worth of stuff. Some things that I need and some things that I wouldn't have been able to get if it weren't for doing this. It's been a little tiring at times and I've had to spend a few hours doing it every week clipping coupons (some weeks I buy 5 papers) and putting the various scenarios together, but for me it's been a lot of fun and well worth it. Here are pictures of some of my stuff.
