You will then get $1 ECB after every 4th visit to CVS.It cost me $.99 but I'll earn that back after 3 more visits to CVS.This is a great incentive to use reusable shopping bags and a great reminder to bring those bags with

If you like to enter sweepstakes like I do, you'll have noticed that a lot of sweepstakes offer you an extra entry if you refer a friend. Many of you may not have friends that would appreciate you referring them to sweepstakes. That's where having a referral's list comes in very handy.

I was finally able to get rid of our monthly home phone bill when I got the ooma Core VoIP Phone System 4 months ago. I first found this at the beginning of 2009 but wasn't able to get it til just recently. It is a bit expensive at $214.95 (I got it for $220) but if you divide that up by 12 months, it breaks down to $17.91 a month and I was paying over $35/month for VoIP phone service so already
