My favorite store to shop at now is CVS. I have saved so much money there and cannot believe I ever paid for things like body wash, toothpaste and deodorant!! Getting started is very easy and here's how!
1. Get a CVS card. You can get these at the cash register at any CVS store. The one in Boone is located right next to Ingles with a new one being built right across from Walgreens.
2. Once you get your CVS card you are ready to map out a deal plan. Certain items each week at CVS earn "extra care bucks", I will refer to them as ECBs. When you buy these items these ECB coupons will print at the bottom of your receipt. DO NOT LOOSE THESE. They will work just like cash on your next transaction. On your first transaction you will have to spend some out of pocket money to get your extra bucks going, but after that you will not have to spend that much of your own money at all because you will be using the ECBs you earned previously!!!
3. Decide which items you want to buy by checking the links on this blog, or the local ad which should be in the Sunday paper. See if you have coupons for those items, because that makes the deal even sweeter. CVS is wonderful about coupons. They even have a huge coupon printer when you walk in to scan your CVS card and get coupons!

So basically, you will make your initial purchase to earn bucks, then you will use those bucks to buy more things that earn bucks each week. . . . and just keep them rolling! Some weeks there aren't great deals so you might have to buy some things that you don't want or need, but you will need to keep the extra bucks rolling to save the max amount of money. You can always donate the items to a shelter, church, nursing home, etc.
It seems a little confusing at first, but after you make your first purchase and get comfortable with it, it is so easy and FUN!
