Six years ago after my daughter was born, I knew I wanted to be a stay-at-home mom, but after the first month at home, my husband and I realized that our spending was out of control. If we didn’t do something, I would have to go back to work.
I found MoneySavingMom and it has changed how we live. I learned how to play the drugstore game and have literally saved my family hundreds of dollars over the years.
I was so excited about what I was able to get this week at CVS that I had to share. Here is the breakdown of what I bought:

Very nice! I am always still learning coupon policies and I have a question. With the vitamins, the cost of the second bottle counts towards the $20 needed for the coupon, even though you aren’t paying for it?
Sheryl Hodson says
Yes, the cost of the second bottle counted for the $20 needed for the coupon. I honestly wasn’t sure if it would work, but the coupon didn’t beep, it went right through and I was purchasing more than $20 worth of vitamins, I just didn’t pay that much 🙂
