Welcome to How I Save Money. I am on a quest to see how much stuff I can get from CVS without spending any extra money out of my pocket.

I needed some Neosporin because mine ran out and I cut a patch of skin on my neck (different story!!!). I only had a $10.00 ECB coupon so I needed to get something else to make up the difference so I would not lose all the ECBs.

I love colored inks so I decided to get a pack of sparkly colored pens that I can use at work and at home.

I went a little bit nuts this time and ended up spending money out of pocket by not paying attention. I also don’t have all the pictures for this shopping trip because I was all frazzled and opened the packages and they look too messy to post pictures.

You guys REALLY need to stop me from going to CVS any more because I now have eleventy-nine toothpastes! I had to go to the copy center today and CVS was just across the street so I caved in because I had ECBs and coupons from Sunday’s paper.

Mother was having a craving for something salty so I decided to get her a pack of Pringles because they were $0.88 at CVS compared to $1.00 at Walmart!!!

I ended up having to back to CVS to refill a prescription for mother. I had originally filled the prescription at WalMart but CVS was running a promotion where you could get a gift card for transferring from another pharmacy.

I will not add in the prescription costs since I did them on a separate transaction but I did end up buying some toothpaste. I got a $30 gift card for the purchase of the medicine.
