Hey! Just found your site this morning (from Money Saving Mom’s site) and I had a question. I just started shopping CVS and I don’t know anything about a double coupon Newspaper. Can you explain it to me?
Welcome Mitzi! In our area (Atlanta), the newspaper offers a double edition of the Sunday paper for $3.00, rather than buying two individual papers for $2.00 each.
