Tip of the Day:
To maximize your savings with coupons and register rewards at Walgreens and CVS, do multiple transactions!
Today, I was the pesky and annoying person in the checkout line at Walgreens and CVS. The cashier didn't seem to mind; he appreciated that I was very organized and that I had everything carefully written out and ready to make my purchases. But the lady behind me that was waiting wasn't too thrilled! HA! So even though we can be annoying at times, it is well worth it when you are savings tons and tons of money!

Also, feel free to share your awesome deals this week in the comments section. I would love to hear of your savings! :)

Wow, Allie, I did not know they'd let you do multiple transactions, immediately after purchase. This is GREAT to know. I received $5 in reward bucks a few days ago, and went back to CVS the next day to use them... but I guess I did not need to. :) I ended up paying .62cents each for 3 boxes of cereal. Yeah !
Love hearing great stories like this! Keep up the good work!!! :)
