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.

You are quite a savvy shopper. I need to start going to CVS more often to take advantage of those ECB.
If you have the patience to wait for the sale and combine it with coupons then you can get great stuff for very little.
This reminds me of my wife looking for occasions and checking all the discount prices when they appear. This generates so much fun if she succeeds to purchase all the gadgets. Seems like its worth living for such moments.
