Several people have asked me about my walgreens deal post. walgreens and cvs both have really great programs that give you register rewards (walgreens) or extra care bucks (cvs) when you buy certain items. when you match these deals with store coupons and manufacturers coupons, you can get really great buys. there are a few websites that i have bookmarked, that i check for good deals at these stores every week. my favorite site is a blog called, moneysavingmom.com. it is run by a young mom that lives in the kansas city area, and she is super thrifty. she spends only $40 a week for all their groceries and household items! although, i don't do quite that well, i also try to stockpile when i find a good deal, and pay cash for my groceries so that i stay within an alloted budget. by getting diapers, household items, even milk and snacks sometimes at cvs and walgreens for practically nothing, i have a lot more money left over in my grocery budget. there are so many deal sites out there, that it would be very easy to get bogged down, so i have found that just keeping up with a fraction of the deals found on a handful of blogs is better than trying to get every good deal that's out there. i don't want grocery shopping and deal finding to take over my life. :) here are some other sites that i have bookmarked . . .

I just heard about this website on the radio yesterday. It's called grocerygame.com. You pay $65 per year ($1.25/week). It compares several different grocery stores' deals of the week and all unadvertised deals, plus manufacturing coupons. Basically it does the shop and compare part for you. The lady interviewed on the radio says she saves a lot of money each week!
