Print those Coupons before the End of the Month!

by | | 0 Comments

February is over in 2 days which means some printable coupons will disappear so if you think you may use them, then print them now.  Most times the expiration date will be close to 30 days so you will probably have plenty of time to wait for a sale to use them. But of course the end of the month also means the beginning of a new month and we'll get some new printable coupons! Remember to always print your coupons in black & white to save on ink!  And you can also use scrap paper and print on the other side.  I'm always thinking of ways to save a few bucks!

Are you using your CVS Green Bag Tag??

by | | 4 Comments

Are you using your Green Bat Tag at CVS?  I forget occasionally to grab the bag with the tag (that rhymes) but most times I have it.  Don't know what the Green Bag Tag is??  Well then I will tell you!! In the fall of 2009, CVS introduced their Green Bag Tag.  You purchase the tag for $.99 and then attach it to a reusable bag.  Each time you shop and use your own bag, they will scan the bag tag and after every 4 uses, you'll get $1.00 ECB! It's a great deal and so much better than any other store that gives you credit for using their own bags, as far as I know. Stop & Shop will give you $.05 for each bag used and so will Target.  While I'll take that $.05 each time, I'd rather get $.25...
