CVS Year-to-date spending vs. savings

For those of you who wonder how much "junk" I buy...I think this justifies what I do...according to my CVS receipt, for 2009 I've spent around $60 and have saved $416....I think that is pretty darn good! :) I bet it is double that at Walgreens because they really have no limits...maybe I should start tracking more closely :)

***On a side note: I wonder if this includes ECBs that I get back to spend like cash in the store? Who knows, it might even be more savings that they cannot catch :)

My deals for the week of 6/7


My total OOP for all 3 stores: $21.54

***Can I just say how much I saved? The soda alone would have been $13 and the cashews would have been $13....but I got everything from CVS, Walgreens and JC Penny for less than that!
