I have to say the best thing I have found on the Internet at this point in my life is CVSing and just how to get the most out of the Extra Care Bucks program!  I look forward to the weekends even more now because that is when I get to see what I can get for literally nothing at CVS!  So far my spending for 2010 looks like this:

That breaks down to over $71.00 in merchandise for a profit of .40 currently!

I stopped by my favorite store today to pick up a few items before they went off sale and here is what I got today:

SoyJoy Strawberry 6pk (I am beginning to like these!) 6.00
Crave NX Diet Spray (hoping this really works!) 7.99
Nalene French Tip nails 2.99
Cherry Coke Zero 20 oz. 1.49
PowerAde Fruit Punch 1.69
Glade Fragrance Collection Candle 3.29

Grand total for 2010 so far:

ECB Balance: $24.00
CVS GC Balance: $69.40
Merchandise Value: $71.85
Total OOP: -.40 – yay!  A profit!!

I am headed to plan out my trip for tomorrow now.  I need to increase that profit a little bit more!

Oh yeah, I stopped at Kroger & Sack ‘n Save and picked up my groceries for the week for 87.00!  Not too bad for what I got!  Meals for 4 for the week, food for 2 dogs and 1 cat…and snacks & lunches for the week.  Sure beats the $130 plus I had been spending at the last part of 2009 which just proves that a little bit of time planning pays off!
