I ha...Oh, great! [pause] Er, what's Sunbutter?<br /><br />I have heard crazy stories about the ExtraCare <br />Bucks. Once there was a massive run on toilet paper when CVS ran a deal to get 4 rolls for $1 and receive $1 in ExtraCare Bucks...which you could then turn around and spend on another 4 rolls of toilet paper. Apparently there was no limit to the number of times you could do this. I'd say someone at CVS didn't think that through.Amy Livingstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16362533758291353748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6276531209730408101.post-16314006885469912242011-03-25T11:25:58.465-04:002011-03-25T11:25:58.465-04:00I won't buy the newspaper to get the coupons. ...I won't buy the newspaper to get the coupons. I only use the free online coupons and the one that come in the sales flyer insert that gets dumped on my lawn every week. I don't have the best luck with saving money on food - since we eat paleo style. There's not a heck of a lot of coupons for grass fed beef or vegetables. Though I did score an online coupon for free avocados. That was one of the very rare coupons for produce. <br />The biggest savings that I've had seems to be when the stars align at CVS. My household uses a ton of fish oil capsules - my husband & I use them as well as my 2 dogs (one of the dogs must use them as part of a preventative treatment for mast cell tumors) CVS regularly has them buy 1, get 1 free. There are also generally $1.00 off coupons available and then there are the CVS extra care bucks. (Which is too long a topic for the comments section!) I can usually, if I am careful and plot and plan well get $60.00 worth of fish oil capsules for around 18 bucks. That's very helpful considering we go through about 24 capsules between the 4 of us, per day. <br /><br />Overall, I agree with you that there aren't a lot of coupons for those of us who try to eat as "clean" as possible. It seems like the more you cook from scratch, the less coupons are available. But I still keep looking for another free avocado coupon. <br />-Barb<br />OH, there is a $1.00 off coupon for Sunbutter right now. It's good for most of 2011. :-)barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02341671836312304703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6276531209730408101.post-66693682649011713352011-03-23T02:13:23.503-04:002011-03-23T02:13:23.503-04:00What a relief.
