Well, for instance. I am sure misinglink is doing this also, i remember her mentioning it. I have a CVS card. I was never really into purchasing items at CVS until they started there ECBs. As of right now,on my account, my total purchases for the year have been $180 and somewhat cents. OUT OF POCKET , I have only spent $24 and some cents. I now have shampoo, conditioner, razors, candles, lotions and various other items that will last me a YEAR. $24 dollars on an entire years worth of supplies...........god i love CVS shopping. It takes me about an hour each Sunday to scrounge up my coupons and check the sales paper and go. I don't purchase what i don't need, it would be a waste of my ECBs. You can read more up on this at www.dealseekingmom.comFredo, with the baby items, you would save a TON.

Everything else has been gifted. It's hard to beat the price on that.

i believe she's talking about "baby supplies"... perhaps she can find you the route to nearly free diapers and formula...?

yep, supplies. Like baby lotions, oils, diapers, formula.
If i get a chance, I can start a few scenarios at various stores and coupons where you can get those cheap or nearly free like waltz said.
also, i'll do other items like soaps, shampoos etc....for everyone else. ;D

After reading Blue's post I went to CVS and found a huge bottle of my favorite Nexxus conditioner. I went and signed up for a card, bought my conditioner and now have $10 to spend on anything else. Really cool. Thanks Blue for the heads-up.

No problem, and with that 10 to spend, you can keep rolling that week after week. Most items have ECBs back, so it's like an endless supply!
