    Default your total is .48

    That's what the cashier said to me today as I left CVS. I got:

    2x Dawn dish soap 99c - 25c coupon = 74c ea
    2x Xtra laundry detergent sale 1.49
    gourmet popcorn 3.99 - $1 coupon = 2.99

    And I used a $7 Extrabucks coupon to pay for it.

    Wow, that's amazing! And it's all stuff you'll actually USE and not impulse-buy items. Very impressive. I've just learned about the CVS extra care bucks when I recently transferred by Rxs there from Walgreens. I used my first $3 coupon for Halloween candy.
    Totally debt free since January 2011.
    Fully funded Emergency Fund complete December 12, 2011! Yeah!

    Great deals, great savings and all for stuff that would normally be used
    Bank of America is THE godfather of Hell with Wells Fargo running neck and neck. When the world ends the only things that will be left are cockroaches, Walmart, Wells Fargo and Bank of America. Not necessarily in that order. The order remains to be seen.
