What do you think this set of drawers has to do with extreme couponing?? Read on to find out more.
PS..I found this dresser made by Sterilite at a thrift store last year for $8. I think it was my buy of the year and I got two of them. I love them!
About six months ago, I really starting paying attention to the CVS ads and reading up on how others were scoring great deals and freebies there. Last week, I even took my first trip to Rite Aid and was pleased with the results. This weekend I plan on doing a bit more research on the ways to get the best deals at Rite Aid and will soon make my next visit. I try to use my coupons at CVS at least twice a month, I don’t consider it extreme couponing, but maybe its a start, at least my kind of start.
Did you guess that the drawers were holding my stockpile of personal care items? I bet you didn’t.

My stockpile of personal care items is proof that the drugstore game can be a great place to start with your coupons. Simply CVS is a blog that I just recently discoverd and am glad that I did. They are definitely in the know about all the deals, money makers, and freebies offered at CVS.
I just organized my stockpile this weekend. It was all stored in the laundry room cupboard and I truly didn’t even know for sure what was in there. Now it’s all seperated into my specific categories, easily found and seen.
There is a new shelter for abused women opening in my area that is collecting donations and I am pretty sure I have just what they are looking for, so I will be taking some donations to them next week.
Remember, start small, even if you only use one coupon on your first visit, thats’ a great place to start. Not everyone is cut out to be an “extreme” couponer. If you can start small and make progress on each visit, you will be successful and motivated to keep working to secure deals and create and/or dontate your own stockpile.

I love Rite Aid! I like to look at forums like afullcup.com and hotcouponworld.com where people can share the great deals that they find. I am sometimes able to find some amazing unadvertised deals this way.

I only have to shop for myself and my needs are simple, so couponing normally doesn't do much for me. I keep saying I'm going to learn how to match coupons and offers at the drug stores, but I've never done it. Time to get on that!
