No More CVS for Me

I've made the decision to stop with CVS. It's just not worth it for me anymore. I don't like that I have to spend so much "real" money to get stuff I don't need, so that ultimately I can get something I need. I'd rather just get the stuff I need from Walgreens with my giftcard. So, sad to say it, but no more CVS for me!

I still have $20 in RRs and I want to do a few more transactions. I'm waiting for my rebate gift card to reloaded from the April ESR. I want to get the Venus & Zantac, but my store was out. So, I hope they restock.

I'm back!!

I hadn't posted to my blog in a while, so I deleted the old posts and I'm starting fresh!

If you were following my blog before, you know that I stopped CVSing back in January because I was beginning my student teaching. Well, I completed my student teaching a few weeks ago and it went really well. I'm excited to be done with school and to be graduating this weekend.

I'm still debating whether I'm going to go back to CVSing. I viewed the ads for the next few weeks and nothing looks that exciting. I don't really need any of the items that are on sale.

I have been doing the deals at Walgreens the past couple months and I'm actually liking it better than CVS. I like that with my monthly rebate gift card I'm not spending any money out of pocket for the register reward (RR) deals.

With CVS, I spent over $100 out of pocket in less than 3 months. That is a lot of money. I definitely don't want to do that again!

For groceries I'm shopping at Target, Kroger and Publix. Kroger not so much anymore. I've been getting really great deals at Publix and Target though.

Anyways, I'm excited to get my blog back up and running. Look forward to more updates in the future.
