Check out my savings for the week below:

Hey, All!

I’m actually camping this weekend (yep…they have internet. Does that count as roughing it? If not, I think the lack of sleep we got last night due to one certain little boy and one obnoxiously loud bird should make up for any other conveniences we might have!) So, I’m going to wait until next week to share all of my steals and deals with you (I got some sweet ones!) I still want to see how you all did though, so leave a linky or a comment and share the savings love!

Click below to check out my favorite find of the week:

As of August 1, you should be able to snag a coupon booklet from your CVS Pharmacy full of some great coupons. Simply ask about the Autorefill program at the pharmacy counter and they should give it to you. It contains the following coupons:
