CVS has an ECB program. When earned, the ECBs print out with your receipt and can be used towards your next purchase ! You can go to the bottom of the website to check out the abbreviations if you don’t know them.
Check the abbreviations site at the bottom of the page if you don’t know what they mean.
Here are the best deals at CVS that I see this week:
Rite aid has several reward programs including the +Up rewards program. Up rewards print with your receipt and can be used as cash on your next purchase. They also have a wellness program. They give you a key card, which automatically deducts a percentage of your purchase price. To take advantage of the Up rewards, you must use your wellness card. Finally, they have a video values program. You actually earn high value coupons by watching short videos. You can also earn a $4/$20 coupon by watching 20~30 second videos. Check out this program here.
***Up Rewards will NOW be automatically loaded to your wellness+ card (they will no longer print at the bottom of register receipts!). Also, an +Up Reward can only be redeemed starting at 6AM on the day after it was earned and expires 14 days after issued. You can request to have your +UP rewards print as usual, but you will have to ask the cashier to set it up and it will be starting with your next visit. I don’t particularly like the new way of doing things

Head on over here to snag a One Year Subscription to Good Housekeeping for only $4.99 when you use promo code MOMMYLUVS2SAVE at checkout.
One of the biggest reasons for creating MommyLuvs2save was to create a community of moms and dads who want to help their family save money when buying essentials in order to free up money for debt repayment. My own family has paid off over $111,500 in consumer debt including credit cards, student loan debt and 2 vehicles. I am a teacher at heart. I want to use the skills that I have learned to help YOU ditch debt. I want to encourage each of you in your efforts so that one day you can feel the freedom of being debt free. I’m not quite there yet either (we still have a mortgage) so I need encouragement as well
It can be very difficult to pay down debt. There are many temptations to spend money. We live in a culture that encourages debt and spending. In addition, expenses come up and there never seems to be any extra money for paying down debt. I want to urge each of you to participate in a challenge. Just leave a comment about one positive step you’ve taken for your family each day. Did you eat in instead of going out? Did you save money at the grocery store? Did you pay extra on your credit card? Leave a comment below and we will cheer one another on every day and every step of the way.
The challenge is to leave a comment about what YOU have done to work on getting debt free each day. One winner will be chosen to win a $50 Amazon gift card at the end of each month. To participate in the challenge you must comment on at least 10 posts during the month.
* I will also be sharing my progress from the day prior.
My Progress: I went to the doctors in the morning to have them check my throat since it’s been hard to talk and swallow for the past few days. The strep test came back negative, thank goodness. I was shocked that there was actually a high school student in charge of taking my vital signs and doing my strep test. How is that possible ? She said she graduates soon, but sheesh. I hope she knew what she was doing. It was a $20 copay, but it was worth knowing for sure (hopefully). I went to the grocery store on the way home to get puppy food (used a $.99 Q and it doubled). I also got things to have a BBQ for dinner last night. We had burgers, hot dogs, macaroni salad, dill pickles and corn on the cob. It was so good.
I think I’ve lost my appetite for eating out, which is a good thing for our budget. We went out to eat at Applebees a few weeks ago and I ordered boneless, skinless chicken. It ended up having 3 bones in it and I almost swallowed one. The manager came over to apologize and actually said “I’m sorry, but we don’t really do anything with that chicken. It just gets heated up and served.” I don’t know about you , but I’d rather eat quality food at home than just heated up food at a restaurant. Needless to say, I haven’t eaten out since. We’ve been enjoying cooking on the grill. Ro went outside after dinner to work on our landscaping last night. It’s coming along great. It should be finished up by today or tomorrow.
I earned some Swagbucks yesterday, but didn’t get to any surveys. My throat was killing me and I just needed sleep. I have to go to a funeral this morning for the woman that I used to work with. They found out that she fell down her stairs and died from head trauma. It’s awful. Even though I’m on a 9 month break from work, we are all like family (a dysfunctional family, but still LOL) and it wouldn’t feel right if I didn’t go and pay my respects.
What did you do? Leave a comment We’d love to hear about it You could make 2013 your year. Who will the May winner be ? We’ll see…
