The following is a guest post by Charity Purdy:
I started couponing around two years ago, and thanks to MoneySavingMom.com and other deal bloggers, I have been able to save our family a lot of money. One of my favorite stores for deals is CVS. I was so excited about my deals for this week that I could hardly wait to get to the store! I had to tweak the Colgate deal a little because of different prices and coupons.
Here is the breakdown of what I bought:
1 Starbucks Iced Coffee, 11 oz. for $1.50
Used $1/1 online coupon
Received $1.50 Extra Care Bucks2 Oral-B Cross Action refills, 2 count for $5.99 each
Used 2 $3/1 coupons from the 7/28 P&G Insert
Received $4.00 Extra Care Bucks1 Stayfree Pads 16 count for $2.99
Used $1/1 online coupon
Received $1.00 Extra Care Buck1 7-UP 2 Liter for $0.99
Used $0.30/1 coupon from the CVS Coupon Machine2 Colgate Total Zx Pro-Shield Plus Sensitivity for $5.29 each
Used 2 $1/1 coupons from the 7/28 SmartSource Insert
Used 1 $3/2 Colgate Total Toothpastes that I got last week from the CVS Coupon Machine
Used 1 $2/$10 Toothpaste purchase that I got this week from the CVS Coupon Machine
My total before coupons and Extra Care Bucks was $28.04. After coupons, I owed $12.74 and I received $11.50 Extra Care Bucks!

I cannot help it — I finally gave in to the urge to post to this particular posting. Forgive me for finding it too cool to have found someone else with the first name of Charity — it’s a rare one in may life experience, anyway. Thanks for sharing all the great money saving ideas; I really do enjoy and look forward to receiving the messages in my email each day.
