Crystal scours the papers/inserts/internet for the best deals around and then walks you through how to coupon combine, etc. -- getting many things for free or very cheap. I am always amazed at what she comes up with. CVS is a new concept to us here, so I just 'applied' for my first card to get ECBs, but I'm excited about this new 'adventure'. We're always looking for ways to reduce our budget, but to me this has become more of a 'game' and kinda fun to see what deals she introduces every few days. :)
Hope it can help someone else, too! :)
