thrifty thursday part 2

yes, i know it's friday. but this week has just been weird. so, to keep with the medical theme i have going the last few days, i'll share my thrifty idea for medicine!

for those of you who don't get a sunday paper, this idea ALONE makes it worthwhile. we have developed quite a relationship with our local cvs. the pharmacist is so sweet to my girls and answers all of my millions of questions. not to mention that he spoils the girls rotten by letting abby choose a toy once every two weeks or so. oh, and she gets to pick a toy for julia too. bob is so loved by our family that abby just delivered a birthday party invitation to him and his wife this morning. but i digress.

one of the reasons we consistently go to our cvs is that they honor the coupons from other pharmacies. you know the ones, "transfer your prescription and get a $20 gift card." it's not something they advertise, i just asked one day if they would do it to keep from having to transfer yet another prescription. so, earlier in the week, i got a $2 prescription filled and got a $30 cvs gift card. jon needed a prescription filled for his strep throat. $4 meds, and i had another coupon for $25 gift card. so, we spent $6 in meds and got $55 of cvs money. very nice.

what's your thrifty idea for the week? come on...i know you've got them.
