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. Its a cycle (and a game/addiction to some, lol.)

Damn BH and Thrifteh. Hate to hear that, but at least it does sound like it wasn't completely unexpected. Doesn't make it any easier, but at least you aren't caught blind-sided, and to be honest, from what little info is here, it almost sounds like the situations will be better in the long run if they do leave. It may suck at first, but (for BH at least) do you really want to raise little Maddy in an environment like you have been in lately?

Well, same goes for you. Feel free to call me! I'm up late and you're 2 hours ahead to boot so if you can't sleep, I'm here!

My parents just left yesterday. He has a habit of dropping bombs on me right after they leave. They'll be back in 2 weeks, though.

We just left and went for a drive so he could come pick some things up for his trip. He hasn't been living here for a few weeks so most of his clothes are gone already. I think he got the luggage but really I don't know what all he needed.
Just remember you and that baby girl are loved by your family, your friends and your interwebz friends. We are here to support you an whatever capacity you need! LJ hearts his first GF, Miss Maddy. I swear my mission today is to find the damn cord to the camera so I can send ya the pics of the babes. I still laugh out loud that we met at a Sbux (your fav) in a SuperTarget (my fav)!!!!! Totally appropriate!

Sweetie, it sounds like C needs a heaping helpin' of growin' up. hug Time for him to put his big boy pants on and settle down. He's got a family that needs him more than he needs a trip to Vegas. Comfort

I have to go and pick up my van in a bit. Aside from that, not much going on. I really need to take down my Christmas tree but I think I'll wait until the weekend so the rugrats can help me.

Hell no, I don't have everything ready. I'm the type that goes to the campus book store to purchase my books the day classes start laugh out loud I've always been that way. I'm really looking forward to one of my classes (Domestic Violence.) I had to beg, borrow, and steal to finally get added to the class laugh out loud After being passed through 6 people, I was FINALLY added.

I did check Amazon.com to see if my books would be cheaper there, which is something I've never done before. They were actually more expensive there, oddly enough.

Are you taking any class you're really looking forward to?

Oh, I did check this morning and my refund has been issued. I get to pick up my check tomorrow.

Omg, you pay bookstore prices?! RRG! EEK!!! Check out these people [booksprice.com]. They compare the prices at sooo many different places so you get the best price. My book costs went from almost $1600 at the school bookstore (EEK!) to almost $500 (at various places online).

I remember you talking about that class. I'm glad you got in and that you have something to look forward to. Smilie

I'm not looking forward to any of my classes because, tbh, I don't even know what I'm taking. laugh out loud I just found what fit my schedule best and enrolled. I'm actually dreading this semester. It will be my hardest one yet because I'm taking more hours than normal and in a shorter time frame (2 days instead of 3) and I'll be working. It's going to be intense. I'm already ready for May. laugh out loud

Good morning. I guess the cats are eating in shifts now. Annoyed I let Chloe out to pee at 5 when the SCHOOL called to say it SNOWED (duh!) and there would be no school, and 1/2 of them were there then. Just now, the other half came to eat. Do I look like a cat restaurant?

Later, I'm going to make snow cream, then let the boys go play in the snow, then make them hot chocolate. heart

So sorry BH and Thrifteh. Comfort Things have a way of working out for the best, even if it doesn't seem like that at first.

I'm done running errands until this afternoon. The temperature is dropping out there! Cold My friend is doing the afternoon preschool run since she'll be there for a meeting at pickup time. Whee I am home until it's time for the big kid run.

I'm making a big ol' pot of gumbo today. Eat

I'm comparing prices now but keep in mind, the bookstore on campus sells used books, too. I just checked on book at out bookstore against the link you posted and it would only save me $2. Not worth the hassle for the little savings (since I wait until the last minute.) Checking all books now.
