so this summer i made the executive decision not to get a full time job, so i could spend more time traveling with my family, take a class, and be a part of several weddings. i babysat twice a week so i could pay for gas. needless to say i came to school broke and i don't get my first pay check for being an ra (resident assistant) till a month into school.
so i have been forced to be very thrifty these past few months.
i checked out several of my text books from the library and bought a few off of half.com. half.com has saved me so much money!!!! the website that has been the most helpful is southernsavers.com. jenny, the creator of the page, makes a list of every sale item in grocery store & pharmacy in the south, as well she lists every coupon (printable and paper) you can use on the products. it has saved me so much money. for example, i bought crest toothpaste and listerine mouthwash for $1.40 & got $4.50 in ECB (extra care bucks) back, so it was like CVS paid me $3 for buying toiletries.
if you go to college of charleston it is definitely worth reading her section on CVSing because you are probably a poor college student and frequent cvs because of its prime location on campus.
