*Saving you some money in the Rock River Valley*


Welcome to our blog! While a lot of our deals may be specific to the Rockford area, you'll find many deals that are also good nationwide! We hope that our blog will be fun, informative, and that it will help you SAVE SOME MONEY!

Baby Steps!

I'm so happy that many of you are excited about saving money and getting "freebies" from Walgreens and CVS. Many of you have shared your trips to the store . . . some of your trips were great, some were frustrating.

I just want to warn you though, like I warned the ladies at the coupon class, please, please do this in baby steps! I know it's fun to get free stuff (my husband says I get a "rush" from deals) . . . but I don't want some of you to burn out quickly! If you try to do all the deals, you may run into problems and get discouraged. Start small, learn, then build up!

A good place to start is Walgreens' "Free After Rebates" in the Easy Saver Catalog. Just do that for a few months and then move up to the Register Rebates and other deals. Or start small with CVS's Free after Extra Care Bucks until you get the hang of it, then move on to bigger things.

Again, just want to encourage you to start small, get the hang of a certain method . . . then move on to others! You have to walk before you run! :)

If you missed our coupon class, we eventually plan on posting our handouts here on the blog (when I can figure out how to do it). We're also going to try to offer the same class in the future - so stay tuned!

Baby steps! :)
