This week’s upcoming CVS ad is not quite as fun as previous weeks. There aren’t a ton of freebies or even good deals for that matter.. I can always tell when there aren’t a lot of sales if I’m not typing a lot of scenarios for all of you! Are you seeing any deals that I have missed?

My friend Kara and I had an awesome time shopping at CVS earlier this week. CVS has a ton of freebies and moneymakers this week and fortunately for us, our CVS had pretty much everything in stock. Go HERE to watch the video blog we shot while we shopped at CVS! I broke my purchase up into two transactions. I started out with $8.98 in ECBs (Extra Care Bucks). When I have ECBs, my goal is always to use my ECBs and buy items that will then reward me with more ECBs. That way I can roll my ECBs from one transaction to another. And, if I have less ECBs than the total purchase price of all of the items I want to buy, I will break my transaction into two transactions. That way, I can use all of the ECBs I have on the first transaction AND THEN put the ECBs I earned on my first transaction towards the second transaction. This reduces the amount of money I spend out of pocket. The only thing I wish I did differently is that I wish I had brough the B2G1 M&Ms coupon from 05-02-10 RP. Then I would have gotten three bags of M&Ms for $0.33 each! I did pretty good though. I spent a total of $1.74 before tax ($3.63 after tax) and saved $33.39 AND received $12.49 in ECBs to use next time!
If you are new to shopping at CVS, read my Intro to CVS post HERE. To see this week’s CVS sales & coupon matchups, go HERE!

So, there has been a lot of things going on behind the scenes here at Addicted to Saving. Much more than just a server upgrade which you probably remember occurred last week. One of the changes which I am nervous about excited about involves video blogging. You all may remember my hesitation and nerves surrounding the first video blog that I posted HERE. Well, my friend Kara and I are going to start shooting more video on a consistent basis (hopefully it will become easier to be in front of a camera with time?) with the hopes that as we show you and explain how to match coupons with sales, you will save more money than ever before. This is our first video so far. All of the items we purchased at CVS are on sale from May 9th – May 15th. Would love feedback as long as it is constructive 🙂
To print out the coupons we mention in the video blog and to see the CVS Weekly Sales Ad for May 9th – 15th, go HERE

Thanks for coming to Addicted to Saving! Here’s a little bit about me so you can know who’s behind all these posts!
My name is Liza and I began my money-saving journey in the Spring of 2009 as a way to stretch a limited household income. I had lost my job and my hubby was self-employed. I launched Addicted to Saving in November of 2009 and it has grown by leaps and bounds. Since then, my hubby and I have struggled with the ups and downs of two failed adoptions and are now LOVING being parents to our little man Asher who we brought home from Ethiopia in August of 2013. I feel incredibly blessed to be able to help you save money. My goal is that you will have FUN and become empowered to save more and more money each week..Read More Here...
