Singing The Praises of Fresh & Easy

Have you tried shopping at Fresh & Easy lately? I go somewhat infrequently as it is a little out of the way from my home, but made a special trip today because being part of their email club, they had sent me a $10 off $50 purchase coupon. That's a savings of 20% right there! I found the produce to be excellently priced, and my husband found a favorite beverage at a very favorable price. Large pumpkins, perfect for the fall holidays were only $2.50 each and Halloween candy was 50% off. I was very happy with my findings, and even happier with the hefty savings. Another great thing about the store is that for every $20 you spend with them, $1 goes back to local schools! That is a fantastic program right there. For more information on Fresh & Easy, the school program, or to join their email list, go to http://www.freshandeasy.com/.

CVS ExtraCare Card

If you shop at CVS and have an ExtraCare card, are you remembering to scan it at the kiosk when you enter the store? I have to admit that I was an infrequent shopper, and when I did go to the store, I would give them my card at checkout, but would forget to scan it when I ENTERED the store. BIG mistake! Now that I have discovered all the deals available there and I am shopping more frequently, I am also remembering to scan in. Yesterday I took my "Save $5 off $30 purchase" that they emailed me for being a part of their email club, and when I scanned my card at the kiosk, they gave me (amongst others) a $5 off any Halloween items purchase. That did NOT come with spending requirement- so in other words, I got to pick out pumpkins and Halloween items to the tune of $5 with no cost to me! That was a really nice surprise! www.cvs.com.
