Haircut Day!
Yes, we cut our own hair. And you can tell LOL!
It started when my husband lost enough hair that he thought it was ridiculous to pay the going rate for what was accomplished – he said the price should be prorated. He then purchased a haircut kit (video has been lost to our dismay) and told me he had utter confidence in my ability, since I had been cutting my bangs for years.
Then I trimmed the boys’ hair when they were little so as not to traumatize them. I’ve been cutting the whole family’s hair ever since!
Mind you, my haircuts are accomplished with scissors – but, as I’ve never had any training, alway turnout looking like ‘buzz cuts’. Praise the Lord; I’m only cutting guys’ hair!

First CVS Deal
Just last night I completed my first CVS deal. I had to spend a bit on a previous visit to get enough CareBucks; but, now I’m good to go.
I realize I could have made multiple trips and not spent as much real cash initially, but I have to minimize my trips, as I do not have a nearby CVS. I did however, only buy items that our family normally uses and that were on sale (plus I had a few coupons – that means the wind chime I bought was really free ???).
I loved the teller’s face when I dwindled a pre-tax order of $16 to about $2.50 and then walked out with another 17 CareBucks!
I learned about drug-store shopping (how they take multiple coupons and their reward/rebate programs) at
http://momsloveshopping.com/how-to-save-money-at-the-drug-store-show-20/.
Make sure you printout Lisa’s CVS cheat sheet as there is a specific order to get all of your coupons accepted.
I’ll never make as many deals as other posters; because I have brand/item limitations due to my family’s unique health issues and I don’t have access to all of the same stores – but, hey, any little bit helps!
What do you do to save a few cents?
