We are the featured blog this week on The Q Hunter!! Please go check out Cindy's site (you will notice some changes; she's been working hard). We are very grateful to her for this opportunity. Thank you very much, Cindy.
If you are visiting from The Q Hunter, WELCOME! We are glad to have you. Feel free to browse the site. I do want to let you know that I am feeling a bit under the weather as I write this up, so it does not contain my normal CVS or Rite Aid scenarios. If you want an idea of what is normal around here, please check out last week's scenarios and deal posts. (Rite Aid; CVS) I will try to post scenarios for the deals below as I get the chance.

Very Best of the Best Deals
for 9/19 - 9/25
Time, money, and family are a stewardship given me by God.
What I do with that stewardship is my responsibility.
1 Faithful Steward was started in November of 2009 to fill a need. While there were many coupon and deal sites out there on the net, very few of them seemed to walk you through the steps and show you how to make the most of your money. 1 Faithful Steward strives to do just that. You will find weekly deal and transaction scenarios for CVS and Rite Aid, as well as coupon matchups and deals for other stores. The bloggers at 1 Faithful Steward want to help you make the most of the resources that God has given you, while at the same time caring diligently for your family.
Erin, the founder of 1 Faithful Steward, is a mother to 3 boys ages 4 and younger. Erin and her family live in the Pittsburgh, PA area where Erin's husband serves at a local church as directer of music, missions, and children's ministries. Debbie, who joined the blog's team earlier this year, also lives in the Pittsburgh area. While she is currently on vacation and therefore not posting, she regularly keeps track of the Target deals for the blog. She is also the wonderful person that makes sure that all the Rite Aid coupons are on the blog. Katie is also a contributor. We have her to thank for the Giant Eagle deals this week.
Many times because of the business of raising a family, Erin does not get to enjoy all the scenarios that she puts together for others. However, even with limited time and resources, Erin has been able to keep her CVS out of pocket spending to $0. At Rite Aid, while you do have to spend some money up front, the goal has always been to make more money in a month than you spend. Before coupons Erin and her family would spend around $400 to $500 a month. Now, with the deals and scenarios on the blog, Erin has been able to cut her families' monthly budget down to $50. This $50 covers all grocery and drugstore purchases. (It should be noted that no one in Erin's family has any medical issues or special diets.)
