Today I paid $0.00 out of pocket for $3.98 worth of items. I got the toothpaste for my dad and the toothbrush for myself to place in my overnight bag. I was all excited about the Kitty litter being on sale but when I got there the box was a small box, and not the size I normally buy.

Join me next time as I look for more ways to save money as I visit CVS.
After reading your blog from last week, I started saving money in so many different ways!
Thats great that you were able to save that money. It seem like a little, but it adds up and in the long run you end up saving a lot.
Don’t spend it… Or better said, “Pay yourself first.” One popular way to do this is (if your employer can) to have a portion of the money from your check sent to a separate account if you have direct deposit, or to get 2 checks one to spend and one to save.
there are many software developers providing us with useful applications that help us stretch our budget and jot down our money transactions, such as Simple Home Money Management, a software package with powerful features including the ability to import entry and records from Open Financial Exchange.
Time is saving time people, save as much as you can.
