New Week, New Deals!

Love all the stories I've been hearing about finding deals and enjoying the hunt.  Keep it up.  The more you do the better you'll get at working the deals.  Be careful - it can become addictive!  Have fun with it and enjoy the rewards of your work.

Just read that it has been confirmed that "Walmart" is doing a pilot program of doubling coupons - it's only in a few states.  I hope this is a sign of great things to come.  Here are a couple of links to read about it - they both have a different view on what doubling a coupon is.  Whatever it is I would accept it here in Jacksonville!

I hope to do another class soon so you can all move to the next level of couponing.  Shopping at Walgreen's and CVS is where you are going to find your best deals on all your personal items like toothpaste, toothbrushes, dental floss, deodorant,  shampoo, conditioner, body wash, lotion, cleaning supplies, and many other things.  There are some things you have to know - or figure out the system - when shopping at these two stores and I want to show you how.  I hope to get a date soon for the next class and I will let you know as soon as I can.

I'm passing along some deals I think are worth working this week.  I get so many emails from tons of websites - these deals are ones passed to me from those sites so I have not worked them myself, but plan on working them this week.  Good luck - happy hunting.

My Publix & Walgreen's Deals

I've been hearing some fantastic reports of great deals from a lot of new "Savy" shoppers.  I'm so proud of all of you.  You're just discovering a new way of shopping - and it is addictive - and paying full retail will not even be in your vocabulary again.  Keep it up.  Way to go!

I want to share a couple of deals I did on Sunday evening and Monday.  I had a few coupons expiring 7/31st and when I saw this deal I headed to the store.

Publix had Crest - the 8.2 size was included - on sale 2 for $5 - this was in their green flyer - if you buy 3 you would get a $5 Publix gift card back.  We had .75/1 MQ (manufacturer coupon).  This is how it went:  3 Crest was $7.50 - after the MQ it was $5.25 for 3 - they gave me $5 Publix gift card = .25 for 3 = .08 cents each.  I bought 9 and paid OOP $15.75 and got $15 in gift cards back.  That's a good day in my book.  I usually get all our toothpaste FREE but I couldn't pass this deal up.

While at Publix I picked up 8 Scotch Scissors that were BOGO $1.99 - had 8 MQ for $1/1 = 8 FREE plus .08 overage!  Another item that will go to our Sunday School Department.

Monday I went to Office Max and did well too.  This is what I got and the prices - ours will go to the church because I'm sure all those crayons will come in handy in our Sunday School classes.


  
       2 12″ wooded ruler with metal edge — $0.01 each
       2 Schoolio crayons, 24 pack — $0.01 each
       2 Dixon #2 pencils, 10 pack — $0.10 each 
       4 Schoolio composition books, 100 sheets — $0.50 each

Total with tax: $2.40 with tax:

Today I went to Walgreen's they had Coffee Mate on sale 2/$3.  There is a WQ (Walgreen's coupon) in Wags August coupon book - pick these up in the front of the store - and I had a $1/3 MQ.  Here is how my deal went:

Bought 6 Coffee Mate = $9.00
Used 3 $1/3 MQ made it $6.00
Used 3 $1/1 WQ made it $3.00
Used $2 RR (Register Reward from a previous purchase) made it $1.00 for 6 = .17 cents each.  That's another great deal.

Here is a great site for some really good coupons. Be sure to print the Bic coupon for free pens this week .  Remember to hit the back arrow key to get your second coupon.
