My CVS Trip today.

One of the best things about couponing is never NEEDING anything.  I get asked ALL the time "So you must be shopping every day to score these kinds of deals?"  Actually at first I visted 3 stores a week....Now I maybe 1 store a week.  Sometimes I have "No Buy Week" Where I purchase anything no matter how good of a deal it is.   Also now that I have a little stockpile of stuff I can wait until things are SUPER cheap before I purcahse them.  This week there was some fun ECB (Extra Care Bucks) at CVS so I splurge and purchased some things I didn't really need to show you how to score big at places like CVS.

Here's what I bought: Not all I bought is in the picture :-) Note the reusable bag!  More tips on that in the next blog!

1-Venus Razor (comes with 2-3 razors)
