Nice! Love this savings engine it finds coupons for you, saved 25% off a simple pharmacy purchase. Thank you. CNET......

They don't find coupons as often as I hoped but when they do it is always a great discount. Well worth using the CNET extension. Plus I think you even get some cash back for using them. That part isn't huge. But still. Free money back.
