Saved Money By NOT Going To CVS
I did not go to CVS this week because I have decided that from now on I am only going to buy things that give back extra bucks. This week the only items that gave ECBs that I was remotely interested in were some more candles and since I already have a bunch of candles and other air fresheners I opted to stay home this week.
I saved money by not driving to CVS even though it is about 3 minutes from work and also by not spending any of my gift card money to stockpile something that I already have tons of.

Today I paid $0.00 out of pocket for $21.11 worth of items. I wanted to make two separate trips so that I could get two scans of my green bag tag and be that much closer to getting an extra $1 ECB but then on Sunday I was handed a $4 off $20 card so I decided to combine the items I was looking at and just have one trip.

Item: Nova Max glucose monitor

Today I paid $0.00 out of pocket for $12.50 worth of items. CVS was having a sale on Glade candles and I love candles so I thought I might as well stock up on some now. I had to BOGO coupons so I think I got a pretty good deal and now have a stash of scented candles to make my place smell all yummy!!!!!

How I Save Money At CVS: 1 November 2009
Today I paid $0.00 out of pocket for $9.99 worth of items. I recently got a $50 CVS gift card by cashing in $45 of rewards from Discover. I have decided to only spend from the gift card and to only buy items that give ECBs back for the rest of the year in an effort to work on my Millionaire List.
I got a diabetic monitoring system that is different from the one I gave my coworker last week. I am not sure if I am going to donate this kit or keep it for personal use or send it to my family as yet.

Today I paid $4.40 out of pocket for $12.90 worth of items. I love the Soy Joy bars as they are a great little snack and I was waiting for them to go on sale again.
The bars did not earn any extra bucks but the ones I had were mostly about to expire and I needed to use them up before that happened. I am also trying to go through the rest of the year without spending any more out of pocket at CVS because I need the money to put towards a snowflake payment to the LASIK card.
