Wow, that's quite a savings. But I'm confused - how did spending $25 in EBucks save over a hundred dollars? Or am I missing something?
Either way, Fishies DO rock.
CVS has a lovely deal on several things. Buy 1 Get 1 for 1¢ on All Laundry detergent and Comet. Then I had coupons (of course) for everything I got. So, for instance, an All Small and Mighty was $6.19, so two would be $12.38. 2 $1.50 coupons and a BOGO 1¢ made each bottle $1.60. And on and on. The Christmas stuff is 90% off. Voila!
Wow - great deal! I think we need a CVS 'round here!
Fish do rock! I have a CVS, but I have yet to make such astonishing deals as that.
You are my new hero, Fish;-)
I just found another rebate form for something else on that list that I got that day. It's for $5.
The end result is everything was free.
I so rule the grocery aisles!
Wow, I'm impressed! I wish I had a CVS here. We're running out of detergent and I'm looking for the most frugal alternative here. (I'm new in my town, so I don't know where the best deals are yet.)
I have not done much with rebates. Where do you find information on that?
Great site!
There's a wonderful site called TheGroceryGame.com. It tells you when to use the coupons you have to get the best deals. If you don't want to pay for that, ($1.25 a week) you can always access the free message boards. THERE you can learn about scoring at CVS and on rebates.
I never did rebates until this year. Since the 3rd I have $110 out in rebates. Christmas money here I come!
