I posted previously about the lack of great CVS deals recently, and it doesn’t look like that will be changing anytime soon. With that said, here is an overview of the best of the CVS deals for the first half of August. Remember these are YMMV depending on whether you have the coupons mentioned. Week [...] I posted Friday about the amazing deal on Walgreens diapers that was going Friday and Saturday only, and shared that I end up getting 87 packs of diapers and training pants along with various other stuff for a grand total of $1.18 out of pocket, plus I earned $55 in register rewards coupons and earned [...] I mentioned in my last post how I was getting totally bored with CVS and their deals.

I’m not sure how it is that I haven’t posted about this one previously, but back in the day we made a total of about $2000 between my wife and [...] I found an interesting site that aims to quantify your “BillsIQ”. What the heck does this mean? Well, the site basically presents you with a short financial quiz to help you assess where you are in terms of getting your financial house in order. The quiz has five sections: credit, debt, budget, wealth, and [...] Considering all of the losses and pain that has been caused by lax lending standards in the mortgage industry, you would think that lenders would have learned their lesson and tightened up credit standards. Of course that would require common sense, which unfortunately is in short supply these days. The latest questionable practice is referred [...] |
