Review by A REVIEW AND GIVEAWAY
Wow! You saved how much? is a book for anyone interested in saving money with coupons. If you already use coupons there is still information in this book that is worth the price of the e-book. The author Renita R. Perrone is a stay at home mom who home schools her two children. She started couponing in order to save her family money after she quit her job that paid more than her husbands salary. They had to learn to make ends meet just to pay their mortgage. Sound familiar to anyone? It’s becoming a common story lately.
Renita routinely saves over $500 a month using coupons and she lives in an area that doesn’t double coupons. That has always been my frustration with coupons. The area I live in doesn’t double, most stores don’t accept other stores coupons or printed coupons. I live in an area with large families so you’d think that the stores would be a little more coupon friendly than they are.
The other problem I have had with coupons is that I’ve never had a consistent system that made sense to me. Renita walks you through that problem in an easy to understand, simple way. If you have had trouble in that area then this is a book for you. She lays it out step by step and includes tips and tricks to stay organized and get the most from your coupons. I loved the easy style in which she wrote this book. You feel like she’s sitting next to you and you are just having a casual friendly conversation about coupons.
There are two ways you can get this book. You can order her E-book for $4.95 or you can order a printed book from Create-a-Space for $7.95.

Hi Everyone,
I’m on vacation this week, so I’ve asked my friend, Cheryl, over at Simply CVS to be my “guest blogger” this week. I’ve followed Cheryl’s CVS advice for probably a couple of years now. Nobody does it better! I’ve been amazed at how she has turned a $10 CVS gift card into literally hundreds of dollars worth of products. What she can’t personally use, she donates to people or organizations that can. I’m sure you will learn a great deal from her “CVS 101: Ten Steps to Saving” blog! I’m posting “chapter one” but when you get done, head on over to her site and check out the rest! Thank you, Cheryl!

CVS 101: Ten Steps to Saving
CVS Shopping = Super Savings
Do you want to learn to save money and easily keep your family stocked with necessary health and beauty items, some food and cleaning supplies for free or pennies on the dollar?
You can keep your family's H&B item needs met with very little out of pocket cash. You will also be able to have extra items for gifts, for sharing or for donating. Just by shopping at CVS and using their weekly sale ad, their coupons, their extra care bucks' program and manufacturer coupons.
It is a whole new way of thinking and shopping, but it is also very rewarding. It will take a while to learn the ropes, change your thinking and get the hang of the system, but before long you will be enjoying the benefits of learning to "CVS."
Below are 10 easy lessons to get you on the road to enjoying the benefits of shopping at CVS.
CHAPTER ONE:
CVS EXTRA CARE REWARD CARD
Have you ever thought of CVS as a place to save money on your basic health and beauty needs and some of your food needs? Even bring home some items for free? I never did, but CVS Pharmacy is a great place to do just that. I have been shopping at CVS weekly now for a couple of years and each week I bring home several to dozens of things for pennies on the dollar.
Let me help you get started saving at CVS.
Step # 1: Get an CVS Extra Care Reward Card.
With the CVS Extra Care Card you will receive sale prices, extra bucks on certain items (these are coupons on the end of your receipt to use almost just like cash at CVS) and quarterly extra bucks on all of your CVS purchases and prescriptions, and CVS coupons for a variety of products in the store (see the CVS 101 Lesson "What's an Extra Care Buck").
There are two ways to do this: you can either pick up an application in the store or fill one out on line. The benefit of picking one up at CVS is that you can get it immediately and can start shopping and saving.
Be sure to link your CVS card at Upromise to earn savings for college on selected items while you shop.
Step #2: Register Your Card Online
Go to CVS.com and on the top right hand side is an "Extra Care" icon which when clicked has a place to register your card. Be sure to put down that you want to sign up for all CVS home and email mailings--you will receive added savings in the form of periodic mailings of coupons.
Within a few weeks of registering your card you should receive an email from CVS with a $4 coupon good on a $20 purchase if you gave an email address. Then keep your eyes open for more emails with special savings.
CVS has great customer service. The 800 number is on the back of the card you will receive (800-SHOPCVS). You can also contact them thru their website. If you have any questions or concerns call CVS and they will clarify anything you might not understand or tend to any problems you encounter at your local CVS.

Hundreds of online discount Codes
I recently found out about an amazing website that I wanted to share with you that offers literally hundreds of discount codes for online shopping. With the economy as it is, and the holidays just around the corner, more and more people need to find the best deals available. I believe you will LOVE this particular site.
http://www.couponchief.com
This site offers so much more than the standard coupon site. The first thing you will want to do is to view their short video by clicking on the "How it Works" tab. If you are new to online shopping, or new to using discount codes, this video offers a very quick tutorial on how to use them.
In addition, the site offers some "community features" that help everyone by allowing us to comment or rate the coupon codes and how they worked for us. You can also share the coupon code by emailing it to friends, and register to get email alerts.
Want more? You've got it! This site also offers a "Pays-2-Share" program. If you find discount codes that are not already listed, you can register in the Pays-2-Share program and earn a percentage of all sales made using the discount code you have uploaded. The discount codes have to be for stores that participate in their Pays-2-Share program, but the list of participating retailers is quite impressive. What could be better than earning money for sharing the deals? And, use your own coupon after you upload it and you are earning on your own purchases! Your account must reach $25 before you can be eligible to receive payment, and they pay via check or Paypal.
One thing I love about this site is the ease of finding coupon codes for your particular needs. I know I have spent far too much time in the past searching for a discount code for what I needed. With CouponChief, you can search by item, category, or store. You can browse their featured stores, popular coupons and new coupons as well. The site is laid out very nicely and makes it so easy to find what you are looking for.
Go check it out! You'll be glad you did!
