Saving Big with CVS Cash Cards!
It's been a while since I have really had to buy items for cleaning, or health and beauty items, because our stockpile has been quite, um, well, stocked! That was until I recently took a good look at it several days ago.
The list of what I needed has begun to grow. Shampoo, conditioners, feminine products, dish soap, rinse aid, toilet paper, cleaning products, etc. The list goes on.
With that said, I saw that CVS had brought back the cash card deals. It's not really a card, but ExtraCare Bucks that print out on the bottom of your recent with your purchase of $30 on select items. The best part of this deal is that you can do a maximum of 5 of these each week that it goes on!
Combining this with available coupons and previous ExtraCare Bucks that I earned over the last couple of weeks, I knew this week and next week are going to be rather fruitful! Here's what I did yesterday.

Decorating For Less... WAY Less!
This is my second time decorating an entire house all at once, so "new to this" I am not. And while I really wish I were in my home, sitting at my desk, relaxing, I am not, I am now in decorator mode. After agonizing over wall and floor colors, we have, I had finally narrowed them down, and ordered the ones we liked the most. I think the majority of thought goes into wall and floor colors because we want to make sure what we pick out will stand the test of time. We ask ourselves the following questions:
1. Will we get tired of this color in 6 months?
2. Will it hide dirt well?
( I ask this, because if I don't want to vacuum one weekend, it won't look like I didn't.)
3. Is it easily washable?
4. Are there several accent colors that will go nicely with the base color?
(So when I do get tired of a look, I can change some accents & get a whole new look.)
5. Is it a color that the entire family likes?
If I can answer yes to all of these questions, the color becomes a contendor. We have now ended up with 5 colors.
I have to admit, I was truly dreading having to go out and purchase 12 rooms worth of home goods, again; however, I had one thing on my side.
Experience.
That, and that alone steered me in the right direction.
Enter T.J. Maxx, Marshalls and Home Goods. We have been making weekly trips to as many of these stores as we can in Rhode Island, and hitting the clearance aisles.
I think I have purchased nearly half of the items we are needing for a quarter of the price we were anticipating. Here's some of our recent finds.
With the girls having such different tastes when it comes to their own style, T.J. Maxx, Marshalls and Home Goods has been a God send! One of the things I love, besides their prices, is that on their price tags, you always see a "Compare to" price.
Comparing the "what I paid" prices to the "Compare to" prices was a shocker. I had savings totalling alomst $500, and I am not done purchasing items.
Why do I go each week? Well their clearance aisles are constantly changing. Constantly. Take the bird cage pillow. One of my girls spotted this a few weeks ago. The regular price was $19.99. The compare to price was $35.00. That alone was a great savings, but we waited. Last week, I spotted the pillow in the clearance aisle for just $15!

BJ's Wholesale Shopping Haul
I was recently asked to show readers just how much money could be saved by shopping at BJ's Wholesale Club. I knew that I could save, but I honestly didn't think I would do as well as I did. Take a look...
I spent a total of 30 minutes preparing for my trip, matching manufacturer's coupons with BJ's store coupons. So it wasn't like I spent an absurd amount of time clipping coupons, and studying the prices.
What's even better is that anyone can save the exact same amount that I saved, and can save even more.
It may look like I didn't buy all that much, but when you look at the price per unit, you'll see that my savings were dramatic, compared to purchasing the same items at your local grocery store.
A year's membership costs just $50.00. After just a single trip, I saved more than the yearly membership cost. Right now, you can print out this FREE 60 day membership to try it out for yourself.
Print out your free membership coupon today, clip some coupons, and come back, and let me know just how much you saved!
One important item to remember, is if you're purchasing a 3 pack of shampoo, you CAN use 3 coupons on that 1 package. Try it once, and I'm sure you'll be hooked.
