I tried to come up with a works for me that was "homegrown". Some new trick I had learned for cooking or my laundry or something original. But looking back over the past week, what has worked for me is simply a web site….moneysavingmom.com. Actually it is more of Crystal’s willingness to share what she’s found as the "best deals" at CVS and Walgreens that have saved me a TON of money. I’ve saved well over 50% every time I’ve followed her advice and plan to save a ton more in the future. If you’re at all curious about how to save some money and have a CVS, Walgreens or Kroger close by, her site is the place to go. I don’t have a Kroger but I do have a CVS and Walgreens right across from each other about a mile away so I take advantage of every deal that I can that makes sense for us.
My family is astounded that first of all I’m even doing this but second of all, how much I’ve saved. My sister has now given me a list of all her regular items and wants to keep an eye for it if I can get a good deal on it. So far, moneysavingmom.com works for me!!
Hi Amy from another Amy! 🙂
I just discovered her website lastnight. I can’t remember how I stumbled across it. We do have a Rite Aid close by so I willl have to try her techinque.

Okay, I re-read your post and looked at the website you linked and realized that wasn’t the same person I was thinking (that is probably why my rite aid comment didn’t make sense). hee hee!
here is who I found last night:

Hi Amy! Have you noticed how many Amy’s there are out there on blogs??
I also have that site bookmarked as well! I don’t have a Rite Aid close by though 🙁
I will have to look at this site and give it to my friends. Unfortunately none of these places are near me. However, I have found Aldi to be a great place for the Europeans looking for a good place.
Susan, just went to ALDI today to get my milk. That’s a great place to save.
I’m so glad that the website has been helpful to you. I’ve learned from a lot of wonderful people and am glad to pass it on.
Way to go, by the way!
Cool blog – thanks for the link!
Wow, what a great site! Thanks for posting about it. I’ve bookmarked it to look at more carefully tomorrow. I always love finding new sites with new ideas to save money!
Crystal – thanks for visiting me and thanks again for the site.
EDW/mom2fur – glad you enjoyed the site.
Happy Savings!
