I am new to shopping at CVS and Walgreens. Can you help me? I actually have some pages that can help you better understand how to shop at both of these stores. You can find them at CVS 101 and Walgreens 101. These posts should hopefully help you to better understand how to shop at these stores! Sometimes, you can even pick up items for FREE!!!

My store is refusing my coupons! What can I do? I always recommend that you always take along each individual store’s coupon policy when you shop. It is helpful to review it every few months to make sure that you have the most RECENT copy in your files. You can head here and find links to several stores’ coupon policies. (Back to top).

How can I keep up with the deals you post? In order to ensure that you never miss a deal, you would benefit most by signing up for our daily e-mail digest. This sends a list of all of the deals to your inbox each afternoon. You can then click the links within the email and go right to the deal itself for more details. You can also follow me via Facebook or even on Twitter! I tend to share time-sensitive deals on Facebook or even links ONLY in Facebook there, so that is a great way to never miss out on a deal!

Why can’t I see my comment (where did my comment go)? If you have never left a comment on Penny Pinchin’ Mom in the past, I have to manually approve yours to be posted. This is done only to help me reduce the number of spam comments that might get through to the site. If you made a comment that I felt was too negative or vulgar, I reserve the right to delete your comment and, if need be, block any future comments from being made by you in the future. I will not accept verbal abuse from anyone and the beauty is that I don’t have to. (Back to top).

I want to start a blog. How do I get started? I have a complete post here dedicated to helping someone who is thinking they want to start a blog to get started. You will want to read it very carefully – as I am brutally honest as to what it takes to turn your blog into a success. Blogging is NOT for everyone – so make sure you are ready to fully commit before you get started. (Back to top).
