Last week at CVS, I bought 2 Soft Scrubs, laundry detergent and toothpaste for (and I&#8217;m not kidding &#8211; ask Justin) $3. AND I walked out with an additional $2 in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cvs.com\/CVSApp\/user\/extracare\/extracare.jsp\">ECB&#8217;s<\/a> to use another time. Justin was shocked at how much I paid.  <\/p>\n<p>If you have a CVS, I highly recommend using it. And if you incorporate coupons, the deals are even better. (That&#8217;s how I scored such a sweet deal for those four things. The toothpaste was FREE!)<\/p>\n<p>Wednesday&#8217;s are double coupon day at the local grocery store. Not a store I like to go to, but if they&#8217;ve got good prices on the items I need and I&#8217;ve got the coupons, I&#8217;ll go. Here&#8217;s what I got:<\/p>\n<p>6 boxes of cereal (we eat a lot of cereal)<br \/>2 &#8211; 4 packs of yogurt<br \/>2 &#8211; 1 lbs. strawberries<br \/>3 boxes of kleenex<br \/>1 6-pack ziploc containers<br \/>1 gallon of milk<br \/>1 packet of jam pectin (for strawberry jam)<\/p>\n<p>Without sales\/coupons: $42.05<\/p>\n<p>With sales\/double coupons: $21.55<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s like 48% savings! Trips like these leave me more money to get the things we need or want for lunches and dinners. And I always look for sales at my favorite stores and still use coupons. It just makes sense to maximize when I can. Plus, babies like cereal and jam, right?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>38 weeks, full-term baby inside, but I&#8217;ve got other things to do besides wait.
