Today I paid $0.00 out of pocket for $15.86 worth of items. At first I bought the wrong item and had to return it so the money was put on a gift card but I put the totals as one. I also found a $50 gift card that I had gotten way back in September of last year. I had taken it to my best friend’s house when I went to spend a weekend and forgot it there. This means I have more CVS money than I thought and this makes it even better for me.

Join me next time as I look for more ways to save money as I visit CVS.
That doesn’t happen all the time. I would say you got lucky
That’s great that you didn’t have to pay anything. That’s what I call a true savings.
BTW: I like your blog, but I’m having a little trouble understanding. The only thing you bought was the toilet paper or was there something else? It’s great the way you share your experiences with saving money.
Um in black it says toilet paper, in green it says baby wipes.
