Just a quick note about the diabetic meters. Please donate these if you cannot use them. My father is an insulin dependent diabetic and these meters are very important. Please do not just throw these in your stockpile and forget they are there. If you aren’t sure where to donate to – try calling your local women’s or homeless shelter.
How did you do today at CVS?

I encourage my students who are diabeic to have 2 meters. one is to always carry on their person, in the car or hand bag. I am giving away to one of my students.
Judy R says
Thank you for posting this my husband is a diabetic and this is the type of meter he uses. This will be a very nice back up if something happens to his meter!

Erica – Good to see someone else from Lancaster! Can you tell me more about what items Water Street Rescue Mission accepts or is in need of? I’m new to the area & I want to donate stockpiled items soon… Thanks!
amy says
I think you are meaning ECBs, not UPRs? Had to re-check which store I was reading about. :)
Shannon says
yes, I type it so many times a day, a week, a month or year, it all starts to look the same.
Danielle W. says
Got 2 Pantene, 2 Colgate Toothpastes, and 3 Dawn for 50 cents total and $5.98 in ECB’s back May go back with my coupons from the red machine later in the week (didn’t have time to investigate any other deals besides the toothpaste)
Erica says
I got a bunch of papers this week and there are at least 5 CVS stores within my commute so hopefully I can grab a couple for the Water Street Rescue Mission.
ronda says
the red machine at my cvs said temporarily unavailable. anyway, got two meters, the gum, the toothpaste and a vampire diaries book for my daughter for 12 cents. had coupons for all but the book which is a $1 right now, had a $1 ecb and used it so the 12 cents is just tax. will be donating the meters and girls, the meters come in pink. got two and will be calling the women’s shelter tomorrow. if not the red cross here is making trips to the tornado stricken areas, so one way or the other…… happy couponing all.
