Total shopping trip $135.07 before coupons and savings
Paid $38.95 a savings at 71%.

Shopping trip 6/19

The trip consisted of walgreens, CVS, and Walmart. I also will stress print out your copoun policies. I ran into a cashier and manger at walmart today that was being difficult. I stayed polite and friend and they ended up being wrong. Having your policy with you will avoid alot of confusion with stores like that.
Also there has been constroversy on using BOGO stacked with other manfucture coupons. This happened to me today also. They would not let me use both coupons because it is one coupon per purchase. The 2nd coupon was being used for the full priced item not the free item. The manger was not buying it. If i would have had my policy it doesn't state you can't do that. But there is a fine with that. You can't use 2 coupons with a coupon that states $2 off 2 items. So I'm not sure if I will be doing this or not. I think alot of changes are going to be coming because of the TLC show. I don't want to rock the boat if you will.

Ok now that I said my piece back to the great deal I got today.
Walgreens - 4 18oz Sauve Lotions paid $6.50oop and recieved $3RR. final of .87 each
CVS - 2 colgate toothpaste, hershey bar, hershey bliss bagged chocolate, Garnier face wash. Paid $3.92 and recieved $4ECB and a bounus $5 off $10 purchase. Wooo Hooo
Walmart - 10 dial body wash, 6 ivory soap, 6 packs UP2U gum, 2 laofs of Hawaiian bread, 3lbs bananas, Gallon of milk, bag of carrots, Pine-sol paid 0.95. Yes 0.95. I had an overage of $10.48 with the dial and ivory coupons. Before coupons it was $41.33 before tax. So this so far is my biggest haul yet.

Had a great shopping trip yesterday and today. I got a tip the the tide stain release was on sale at family dollar for $4. I matched it with $3/1 from SS 6/5 and got each one for $1. Right now there is a rebate going on with tide when you purchase 3 or more quailfling products you get $5 back. So tomorrow I will turn in my rebate form and get them all for FREE!!!!

Sales 6/15

I have been checking my favorite sites (listed at the bottom right) that there is some possible good savings coming up. I am happy to say I have reached a point that I don't see anything we need but have to shop to use my cash rewards. Which means I shouldn't have to pay much if anything at all. Woooo Hoooo.

This week

I have been super busy this week. I still fit in some time to shop. Sorry now pictures this week, but here is what I got:

6/8 Albertsons 
3pks charmin toilet paper, 6 kraft dinners, 6 cans of red gold chillies and tomatoes, 2 tropicana 50 lemonade, 1 crest toothpaste, 2pks of lunch meat, deli sub. $20 saved $28

6/10 Walmart
1 All you mag, 5 sensodyne toothpaste(travel), 10 weight watchers yogurts, 4 hot dogs, 2pks KY jelly
$7.97.

The sensodyne was a great find because I made .03 for each tube. In sunday's paper there is suppose to be a dial body wash coupon that doesn't list a size for $2.00/1. Which means you can use this on the trail size and make a $1.03 profit at walmart. These will go quick.

Shopping trip 6/5

Today most of my trip was to CVS. I spent $23.92. I saved $83.49 and I have $4 register rewards at walgreens and $2 at CVS to use next week!! $17 of that total was on the Sunscreen. They weren't on sale but you got $4 register rewards and I had a $2 off coupon so that brough them down to $3.99ea before tax.
2 coopertone sunscreen                                                               
2 starbucks ice creams                                                                 
1pk huggies                                                                                  
2 L'oreal color riche lip color                                                      
2 carmels                                                                                     
3 - 4ct advil (.24ea)
7 acne wipes (.14)
1 colgate toothbrush and toothpaste (only .04 ea)
 Free Items
2 Crest mouth rinse
2 Oral b pulsar toothbrush

Kinda upset that I forgot to give the lady at CVS my $3 off cosmetic purchase that I got from the coupon machine. But I still did great!!

DOLLAR TREE PAPER

I was told that if you buy a sunday paper at the dollar tree it is only a dollar. I was skepical of this. So today I happen to be there when they where restocking the paper. I found out it is true!!!

ALBERTSONS AND KROGER DEALS

Looks like this week is going to be full of great lunche ideas for the kids this summer. I will post later with deals.

New deals

Head over to thekrazycouponlady.com and spendlessshopmore.blogspot.com for udated deals!! There is an awesome bounty coupon if you like them on facebook.

The 1st 3 months of couponing

I have been told by several people that my pics never have food items in them. That is not true. I do get food items but since I am just starting I have not came across those sales yet.
The sales/coupons run in 12 week cycles. Since this is only going on the my 2nd month I have not collected a cycles worth of coupons. I have although stocked enough laudry soap, dish soap, body wash, deorderent, toothpaste, ect. Alot of non food items that cost more then food does. Now I am starting to stock up on food item. I should have enough ketchup, mustard, BBQ sauce, cereal, to last me until I get it at the rock bottom price. Which is the key buying items when it is at its lowest price.

ZYRTEC DEAL AT TARGET. $.76

Zyrtec 5ct is on sale at target for $4.76 through 6/4.
$4.00/1 Zyrtec product, any excluding trial sizes from RP 4/10
Final Price:  $0.76

 The 5 ct is not a trial size, so this coupon should work.
I have not made it to target yet this week so not sure if this is good for my area. It is definitely worth checking out though.

Buy One Cone Get One Free at Baskin Robbins, Military Personnel Only!

Baskin Robbins would like to thank all active, reserve and retired military personnel for serving our country with a Buy One Cone Get One Free coupon.  Head over to Baskin Robbins Facebook page to print a coupon good thru 6/3.

Coupon is valid for Military Personnel only and limit 1 coupon per customer per visit

BIC SOLEIL RAZOR AT CVS, ONLY $.99!!

From now until 6/4 CVS is running an extra promotion on the Bic Soleil Shimmer Razor!  Use a coupon on top of this great promotion and get an amazing deal on this razor.

Bic Soleil Shimmer Razor Starter Kit or 4 ct. cartridges $6.99, Regular PriceBuy 1, Receive $3.00 Extra Bucks, Limit 1$3.00/1 Bic Soleil Razor from SS 5/1
Pay $3.99, Receive $3.00 Extra Bucks
Final price: $0.99 (stockpile price)

BOUNTY PAPER TOWEL 0.44 AT ALBERSTONS

If your heading to Albertsons before the BBQ remember your 0.25 off coupon from P&G 5/1 (exp: 5/31) for 1 roll of Bounty paper towel. They have it on sale for $1.19. If your Albertsons triples coupons you will score yours for just 0.44!!!

FREE CORTAID AT CVS

CVS is offering $3 back in Extra Bucks when you spend $7 or more on assorted Cortaid, Aveeno, and Benadryl items (limit one offer per Extra Care card.)  Although the item prices weren't listed in the ad, Cortaid products on the shelf at CVS range from $3.99 to $4.29 each.  So here's a suggested deal scenario:

• Buy two $3.99 Cortaid items for a pre-coupon price of $7.98;
• Use two $3 off Cortaid coupons from the 5/15 paper;
• You would pay $1.98 out of pocket, and receive your $3 Extra Bucks -- so this turns into a $1.02 money-maker!

If you don't have the coupons from the 5/15 paper, you could use two copies of this $2 off Cortaid coupon instead, and pay a final price 98 cents for both after Extra Bucks, which is still an excellent price.

WALMART DOLLAR DEALS AND FREEBIES 5/29 - 6/4

Are you heading out to Walmart this week?  Check your coupon binder to see if you can score any of these Walmart dollar deals available beginning 5/29/11.but you can see an entire breakdown of the Walmart ad over at Passion For Savings.

Remember, Walmart stock varies quite a bit from store to store, so if you don't see a particular item at your closest Walmart, you might ask your manager on duty to see if the item is on back-order there, or call another store.

And be sure to check out the Walmart coupon policy before you go -- that way you have a better sense of what should be happening at the register.

Welcome

I just started this blog and will be learning on how to work all this. Anyway, I started this because so many people asked me how to coupon. So I figured this will give them a place to start. I will be updating all my shopping trips and savings. I track on 3 different sites and do work a full time job and family. I will update the best that I can. I always want to help anyone who wants to save money!!!!

Happy Couponing!
