CVS Info:

First of all, you will need a CVS ExtraCare card. This is obtained easily at any store at the register. Some will ask you to fill out the form then and there, others will just give you the card and ask you to return the form later.

Once you have the card, you can now start CVSing

The biggest thing to understand is that CVS uses a promotional program called "ExtraCare Bucks" (commonly abbreviated as ECBs.) These print out on your receipt immediately once you purchase an item offering them; almost like an instant-rebate you get at the register. You can turn around and use them anytime on almost anything in the store, except for alcohol, cigarettes, and gift cards.

Often, CVS advertises items as "Free after ECB" – For example, throughout the month of November, CVS has Crest Pro Health Whitening Toothpaste in 4.2 oz size, for free after ECB. The cost is $3.49, but you get $3.49 back instantly on your receipt. The best part is that there are often coupons available that can actually help you earn money… like for the above toothpaste, there are $1 off coupons available, meaning the item would be $2.49, but you get $3.49 in ECBs back. The limit on this toothpaste for this month is 2. So if you wanted to start off small to get into CVSing, the thing to do would be to buy one toothpaste in the first transaction (and use a coupon if you have one, so that you either pay $3.49 or $2.49 in cash), then use the $3.49 ECBs you get back from that first transaction to pay for the second tube of toothpaste, and again, receive $3.49 more in ECBs.

The trick now is to roll your ECBs so that you rarely pay more than maybe a dollar or two in tax on transactions, instead using your ECBs from previous transactions… then earning more to keep doing the same. It's a cycle (and a game/addiction to some, lol.)

Quote from jenni. :
We just got home. It is infected, and is spreading somewhat quick. They took blood out of his finger, then came back 5 minutes later and took it from his arm. THEN, they came and gave him TWO antibiotic shots, plus he will have to take oral antibiotics and a cream for the spot. He screamed with the shots and I wanted to hurt someone. He's supposed to follow up with his dr, but I am going to call first because as he said "I neber eber wanna go to the dr again. They hurt me." Down My parents came up and that helped. So, he's not going to school tomorrow, and they said his behind will probably be sore. Nice. Roll Eyes (Sarcastic) He is sleeping with me and we are about to go to bed. Just wanna update so you didn't think he was dieded.
Talk to you all in the morning.
Awwww...poor little guy Frown I'm so glad you took him in tonight instead of waiting. Now the antibiotics are in him and doing there work. hug

congrats! as hard it is to believe i'm so happy for him! glad for you and him!


capt always goes down with the ship. so not sad :-/


marie! Frown i didn't see you


still wishing you won't hot link those..


we never do. if we could get away with it.. i'd do it now
Thanks Arj. My ex and I had to keep reminding him that not all games will go like this past weekend did. He's good but I'm afraid he's going to become over-confident and cocky.

He has another game tonight and Wednesday. He had/has three games and two practices in a 6 day period!

You know, I think what I love most about watching my son on the baseball diamond? His entire persona and demeanor change the minute he steps on the field. Normally he is anxious and incredibly passive. But, when he hits the field he is very aggressive, has confidence, comes out of his shell, and is in his glory. It's like watching a totally different child. He is definitely most comfortable on a baseball field.

heart I love that he found something he's passionate about.

Jenni, I'm sorry Jack had to endure so much but glad the doctor was aggressive, especially considering it was on his penis! You definitely don't want it turning black and rotting like Autumn's tummy is!

I hope he feels better today!

Jenni!! hug Good job, mama. I'm glad you took him. I hear you on the "neber eber" thing... I am not looking forward to bringing LT back to the lab on Wednesday for another blood draw. Cold

The weather is GORGEOUS here today. This is probably our last non-miserable day until October. laugh out loud I'm going to throw the windows open and enjoy it. I have to crochet like a crazy lady to finish coffee cozies for the office staff at the school - I'll have the boys hand them out this afternoon when I pick LT up. Today is his last day. BT's last day is Wednesday. Sadbye

I just got up, he's still asleep. I have to go fill his prescription today for sure. He had a nightmare about needles last night. Frown

I haven't checked the weather. I hope it's supposed to be like yesterday...it was a nice, pretty day.

LMAO




His dr appt is at 1:30. He keeps saying NOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!! Frown
The deal went down like this: NO ONE told me they were taking blood until the lab lady showed up. She said she could probably get it from his finger. Cool. He tolerated that. He had several shots before preschool and one burned really bad so he is scared of needles.

FIVE minutes later (and I am not kidding) she comes back and says they ordered ANOTHER test and she has to get TWO tubes from his arm. She tried to bribe him with a bag of candy and stickers which he promptly threw in the floor. I held his little head so he'd have to look at me and not her or the blood. He cried. I wanted to cry, but managed to keep it together. I was on the phone with my mom when they came back and when I said she's taking some from his arm, she told me she was on her way. SO.....we waited and waited.

Finally the dr comes back and says they need to give him an antibiotic shot. I asked if there wasn't something orally he could have, and he said since the redness has spread just since we got there, he really needed the shot. They came with TWO. My dad had to step out. He was upset. I was starting to get upset because he was already starting to scream. (They brought FOUR people for this, so I am sure that was freaking him out, too)

My mom asked if I wanted to step out and she'd help. (It was a curtain, not a door). I do. I start bawling. The louder he screamed, the more tears came. Then I hear my mom say "That was just the alcohol swab, man" Cool Then I alternated between laughing and crying. They did both shots at the same time. It was terrible. My poor baby.

Comfort Can you take a nap? That poor baby. Honestly sometime I wonder about doctors.... Do they take a class on "How to freak out a small child in 3 easy steps?" Annoyed
