Happy New Year Everyone!

Happy New everyone!!!!!

Let start this New Year out on a good foot with some goal setting to SAVE money on everyday personal products and groceries! 

• My goal to post the very best deals.  
• I have personal goal of saving 70% or more on majority(realistly I have to leave room for error)  of my personal products and groceries.
• To be very organized. New Years Eve I got a new binder that zips up, baseball card holders, and new hang folders. I reorganized everything am ready for my first shopping trips at Ultra Foods and Target.
• I am still looking for a made up spreadsheet for keeping track of everything I do couponing. .
• Create at menu that works everyday for our family.
• Creating a shopping list and sticking to it.
• Creating a more tight budget and sticking to it.

Of course I have a ton more goals but as it comes down to money and couponing I want to do better.


Happy New Year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
2014 is going to be a great year let get it going!

Things to Remember with CVS

• ECB stands for “Extra (Care) Bucks.
• ECB are store coupons and can only be used at CVS. They are also tied to your own CVS card, so if you get an ECB or store coupon that prints out at the price scanner or register, it will only work for your card.
• The ECB CVS deals always exclude clearance items.
• Always scan your card at their in-store price scanner, because bonus coupons print out there when you do so. Keep scanning until it says no coupons available, because sometimes it prints more than one set.
• Sign up for their ExtraCare emails with your card number and you’ll get a bonus 20% off printable coupon, plus random emailed coupons throughout the year.
• At CVS, % off coupons and $/$ store coupons can be used before any other coupons. % off coupons are always on non-sale prices only.
• ECB always roll, meaning you can use them on any other ECB-generating item and they’ll still generate new ECB.
• Limits listed in the ad are per card.
