As sentiments about the economy continue to degrade, there is a mighty battle brewing. No, I’m not talking about fights over trillion dollar “stimulus” packages, bailouts, or tax cuts. The dispute I’m speaking of is on the surface over much smaller amounts. I’m talking about the battle between coupon shoppers and uncooperative retail store employees. In [...]
As economic conditions worsen, more and more people are getting into coupons and frugality in general. But a lot of people get overwhelmed just trying to figure out where to get started. I realized this when Shreela, a reader that found this blog from one of my posts on Slickdeals, left this comment: Hi, I’m [...]
Someone recently posted an interesting question on Slickdeals: “May I ask for a raincheck for a free after extra care bucks item at CVS?” For those of you who don’t know, a raincheck is like a coupon that is given to a customer when an advertised item is not in stock allowing the customer to [...]
All of the headlines recently about economic troubles have a lot of people asking what they should do now? While most of those questions seem to revolve around where to invest to guard against further losses, I think it is also worth considering what else you can do to prepare for a general economic depression.

I written many times about the awesome deals you can get at CVS, but I’ve lost a bit of the enthusiasm I once had. Not too long ago savvy CVS shoppers were treated to a feast of free products and plenty of coupons to make the deals even better, but things seem to have changed. [...]
No retailer seems to evoke more of a reaction from people than WalMart. Some people love WalMart, and some people just hate WalMart. This was pretty apparent in the comments to a recent posting over at Free Money Finance where FMF basically swore off of WalMart forever. FMF’s complaint was the issue of customer service, [...]
As if your hording of free stuff from CVS and Walgreens wasn’t already out of control, here are some deals for the month of May 2008, starting with CVS: CVS Free after ECBs (Good May 1 – May 31 2008) Colgate 360 clean or deep clean toothbrush ($3.99) – Limit 3 CVS Non Drowsy Allergy [...]
Longtime readers of this blog know that I frequent CVS, normally with printable in-store coupons in hand. However, the powers that be at CVS apparently don’t like what I am doing, or at least they want to try to keep you from replicating my deals. A few days ago I posted a list of ECB [...]
It has been a while since I have written about the deals at CVS and Walgreens, for a few reasons. First, I’ve been really busy with work and the kids, so I haven’t really posted much of anything lately. Secondly, the lack of CVS coupons has kind of dampened my enthusiasm a bit. However, there [...]
I had the opportunity to take a long lunch today, so I decided to make a big CVS run today. A few of the special package deals with the ECBs have been marked down this week, and since you get the ECBs with purchases through January 31, there are some really good deals to have. [...]
