Muggy-ness...

Well today has been extremely hot and humid outside. I didn't do much at work today. No motivation. So I went to physical therapy and to look for a car. My car is on its last leg... But hey.. its gotten me from A to B on several occasions without a payment. I almost purchased a Jeep Liberty but hesitated. I have come to terms as to why... just sorting things out I guess.

So I have started my couponing 101 lessons. I have saved several threads and I am learning how all this works... so many abbreviations for different kinds of savings! I did print some coupons from Target that I will probably use this weekend. But I am still learning the ends and outs of the whole CVS and Wal-Greens trips. Hopefully this will be fun and save a lot... maybe save enough each month to justify buying a car. Hmm... a nice Jeep to put my savings in....

Well.. back to work!

Multiple transactions just helps with using ExtraBucks and getting more to use. Say your total was $7.xx and you only have $5ecb and some cash, but after you check out, you get another $5 ecb and a $3 ecb for things you got...just so you dont pay soo much out of pocket with out having to. It's called rolling ECB.
It helps to do it so that you dont have one tracsaction and it's $20, with only $5 ecb's in hand that means you'd still have to pay $15...But, if you break it into two or more, then one might be $6 and you could use the $5ecb and pay $1 cash and get say another $5 and $2, then the next was $10..use the $5 & $2 ecb's from the first transaction then pay $3 plus any of your CVS store coupons help too. There are some for $2 off of $10 and some $2 off of any cvs skincare purchase (a lot of those things are already under $2, so FREE..Does that make any sense?
Well, i think one of those two just expired, or does tomorrow. I will find the one that isn't that you can use....
ok, I found it. The $2 skincase Q (Q=coupon) is the one expiring tomorrow(but you can print it out and use it tomorrow if you want!! I've gotten cvs brand: handsoap, makeup remover wipes, lotion,etc for FREE b/c all were like $1.99 anyway). So, the $2 off $10 here is still good:
It's the 6th from the top I think...
ok, maybe most of this makes sense...I've had a long day at cvs and wal-mart. And I totally went over at CVS but Michael wanted me to get the 4 12pk pepsi for $12 then get $3 ecb back= $9, so waaay more than I wanted so spend. Poo.

Maybe you can come down one Saturday and we can go together or something..lol. Cus there is no way I could bring the boys and do it. Or me come up there b/c I breastfeed and can't be gone for too long.
