Do you have a CVS drugstore located near you? Probably. It's a nation-wide chain. If you don't know of any local CVS, visit their website. You might be surprised to find one in the next town.Then sign up for a free Easy Saver card. This is part of their customer loyalty program which offers tremendous deals to loyal customers.. You can sign up at a store on their website. If you do it in-store you will get your card immediately. Otherwise, you should receive it in the mail in a few weeks. Once you have that in hand you are ready to start saving!
Start collecting coupons for diapers and other grocery items. You'll find these in the coupon inserts of the Sunday paper, in baby and parenting magazines, at special displays in grocery and drug stores. Ask your friends and family to save them for you. Sign up online with diaper companies to receive them. Sometimes you can even find them online for printing. Another option is to buy them through a coupon clipping service.
Organize your coupons in a way that is most efficient for you. I like the way thecouponmom organizes hers using her computer. See the Resources below.
Save all the CVS sales circulars both weekly and monthly (from the newspaper or from the store) or you can download them from the web.
CVS has a program that offers 'Extra Care Bucks' (ECBs). ECBs are can be used as gift certificates at CVS. Each week they offer a number of items that are come with ECBs that equal the purchase price. If you use the ECBs it is like getting the items for free. For example, I received an ECB certificate for $3.49 after I bought Crest Pro Health Night Rinse which was on sale for $3.49. The ECB printed out at the end of my receipt. The next time I shopped at CVS I was able to use the $3.49 ECB to purchase more items. If I shop carefully I can actually increase the number of ECBs I have with every shopping trip. When I have about 20 ECBs I can 'purchase' diapers with my ECBs instead of cash from my own bank account.In order to do this, I search carefully through the current week's and month's circulars for these ECB items. I try to always use ECBs to purchase items that will generate the same amount or more ECBs than I previously had except when I'm buying diapers. (Unfortunately, diapers almost never generate ECBs.) In this way, I get all kinds of drugstore inventory items for free in addition to diapers. It's easy to bring home $15-50 worth of groceries but pay only $1.00 out of pocket and earn the same or more ECBs than previously so that I can go back and do it again next week!
Plan exactly what you will purchase so as to get maximum ECBs with as little out of pocket as possible. If you'd like some suggestions check out the becentsable blog (link in Resources).
Go to the CVS and gather the merchandise on your list. If your store has a price checker machine, be sure to scan your card when you first enter the store. Coupons and rebates will print. If you're lucky, you'll get a $3/$15 or $4/$20 coupon. These coupons are just what they sound like. You will get $3 off of your total if you purchase $15 or more in merchandise (or $4 off of $20). This is like free money to us. If I'm already going to be buying $15 worth of products before coupons (with ECBs, of course) then I can get $3 toward free diapers! These $3/$15 or $4/20 coupons also can print at the bottom of your receipt. Newspapers will sometimes carry them as well if your area drug stores are in intense competition. These coupons can be stacked on top of manufacturer's coupons, CVS coupons, and ECB deals to make even more money. Here's a current deal this week:Buy 8 bottles Dove shampoo/conditioner at $4.29 for 2 bottles x 4 = $17.16 total (This price may vary according to region.)
Use the following coupons for this deal:
$5/$15 CVS coupon
$3/$15 CVS coupon Beauty Purchase from a CVS email
$6 off by using 2 Manufacturer's coupons $3/2
$12 off by using 4 Manufacturer's coupons $3/1
Total coupon value $26This amounts to a negative balance of $8.84. CVS actually owes you money. But their policy won't allow paying you money. In this scenario they pay you with merchandise. You knew about this negative balance before getting to the register because you tallied up your purchases with your handy-dandy calculator. So, before going to the check-out counter, you simply put a pack of diapers for $11.99 into the cart. You have a $1.50 coupon. So you walk out with 8 bottles of shampoo and a pack of diapers for only $1.65!! Now, that's what I call cheap diapers!If the item you want is out of stock, be sure to ask for a rain check that reflects the ECBs you missed out on. Just because they miscalculated their inventory needs doesn't mean you have to miss out on the good deal.Before getting in the register line, add up your total (after coupons) with a calculator to be sure things go smoothly. When your total is less than your ECBs you can buy your diapers for pennies.
Be sure you present any coupons you have to the cashier in the proper order. The order in which you present your coupons makes a big difference. You should hand over your CVS Extra Care card first. Otherwise, you may not get all the deals that you should. Next, place your merchandise on the counter. If you have one of those $3/$15 or something similar give that to the cashier next. This is important. If you do it after CVS and manufacturer's coupons the total price will be smaller and your transaction may not qualify for the coupon. If you're using CVS coupons, they come next. Then hand over your manufacturer's coupons and get your final total. Lastly, use your ECBs. It is quite a thrill to have a total go from $16, down to $13, to $11, to $3! And as a crowning touch pay with $3.00ECB! I love getting free diapers!
Look for and save ECBs and discount coupons that print at the end of your receipt. On your first shopping trip you will have to pay out of pocket. The following weeks, however, you will pay for your purchases with previously earned ECBs.
Do it all again next week!

How to Change Your Domain HostingIn Feburary 2016 27,
In Feburary 2016 27,
Research alternative Web hosting companies to find a service offering the features you need for your website at the best price.
Open an account with a new Web hosting company.
Log into your account with your current Web host.
Download all of your files from the host's server using the backup tool offered in the Web host's control panel or an FTP client application. Be sure to download all of your files. This includes any HTML files, picture files, audio files, flash files, INC files, CSS files, and so forth.
Back up your blog and Web forum database (if applicable) using a MySQL administration tool such as phpMyAdmin.
Log into your account with your new Web hosting company.
Obtain the DNS server information for the new Web hosting company. You will need this information later to update your DNS records to point to this new Web host server.
Upload all of the files for your website (downloaded in Step 4) to the new host's server.
Install the backup copy of your blog and forum database (created in Step 5) to the new host's server using their MySQL administration tool.
Log into your account with your original Web hosting company. Navigate to the Domain Name manager tool offered in the host's control panel. Edit your DNS records to reflect the server name associated with your new Web host. Submit the update. It can take up to 24 hours for the DNS records update to take effect globally. During this time your website will go off-line.
Visit your website. Check everything out to make sure all your Web pages have migrated successfully, the design elements of the site are still in tact, the website forum and blog are functioning properly, and so forth. Only after you're certain everything with your website is as it's supposed to be should you move on to the next step because you have mistakenly neglected to backup a stray file or two.
Cancel your account with your Web hosting company.
