We got a $3 off photo enlargements coupon from CVS so we figured it would be nice to get a larger sized wedding photo of ours to put in our bedroom.  We used those Kodak photo kiosks in the store to pick the photo and the total turned out to be $0.00.  Yes, it was free so the coupon wasn’t even needed.

Of course, no one had any idea why but we are nonetheless very happy.  We will be sure to try again next time and hopefully we will still get lucky!  While we try to figure out which photos to enlarge, why not check out these great articles from around the blogsphere to enhance your personal finance knowledge?
