I love saving money.  Who doesn’t?  But I love it so much, I blog about it.  Oh, wait… a lot of other people do, too.  But anyway.

I went to CVS looking for a humidifier.  I’ve been having an awful time in the morning and feel awful, and my throat hurts.  They didn’t have the one I was looking for (a warm mist one, rather than a cool mist).  I had $3.50 in “extra care bucks” (CVS free money), so I knew I had to get something.  I grabbed some of those plastic dental floss things for work, (and didn’t think about it until after I bought them what a complete waste of plastic they are.  I’m ashamed.).  I then checked the coupon print out thing in the front of the store, and it gave me a $1 off any body wash or body lotion.  So I thought “well, if I can get a body wash for cheap, then I can just donate it to a food drive that’s also looking for household things.”  So I went to that aisle, and saw this one body was on sale for $2, AND you got a free body poof.  So for the poof and the wash, I would only be paying $1.  Then, my dental floss things were $2.50, bringing my total to exactly $3.50.  I handed over my little paper extra care bucks, and walked out of the store without paying anything.

Pretty damn exciting.  AND, I got a body wash to donate to someone less fortunate.  Oh, and I was at the CVS in Nashua (near my hospice house), so I didn’t have to pay sales tax.
