I've been absent for a while, with very good reason; I had a successful HBAC on November 16th! So we've added another male to our family. So between the dog, my husband, and our 2 sons, there is a lot of testosterone around here :)
I was laying low for quite a while, but I did manage to sneak out to the super-convenient CVS up the street on Thanksgiving and do some money-making deals for my never-ending $25 CVS challenge.
As I was tallying up my numbers today for this post, I realized I made a mathematical error back in July. Oops! I actually have more money left than I thought! Because CVS sometimes makes mistakes on my transactions, sometimes I get refunds. They can't give you back ECB's, so they put that on a money card. If you pay out of pocket, they can give you cash(like they did on Thanksgiving when I forgot to include my $5 off coupon in my transaction - oops!). So I actually have just over $2 left! That's why it's called the never-ending CVS challenge :)
