AWW Bummer

So I am sure you have noticed by now that there were no coupons in the Sunday paper due to the holiday. BOOO!! But we will make it, I promise. So Walgreens has there June coupon booklet out. So be sure to stop in and grab that if you have a chance it is kept up front next to the sales flyer. Also check the vitamin section they should have a June coupon booklet for those items as well!! If no one has told you, you can combine coupons from the booklets with manufacture coupons from the paper for double the savings. 

CVS has a really good deal this week on Nestle Pure Life 24 bottle of water for $2.88. That was the one good deal I noticed when I grabbed the flyer. I know there is more I just have to study the flyer better. 

If you know of any good deals please share!!

Thank you all

Happy Savings!!

This and That

So Asher and I headed off to Walgreens today to grab a few small things. I had some RR (register rewards) expiring and I had to use them while I could. I did pretty good I spent $13 with a savings of $68 and I received $3 in register rewards. 

So I was on Krazy Coupon Lady site and noticed that Rite Aid has changed there coupon policy. So if you are a frequent shopper of theirs go to her site (link at top of blog) and check out the changes.

I unfortunately did not get to go for the second round of Triple Coupon Extravaganza at Harris Teeter. I don't think I missed anything too important. However this week if you are an E-Vic customer you can get a jumbo pack of Luvs or Pampers for 5.99 and you can download onto your vic card coupons to go along with the deal. You have to buy 2 packs in order to get the deal.

So I will be doing another Coupon Drop this coming week.....unfortunately the people who found the coupons during the last drop did not let me know about it. I am sure that the coupons found a good home though. So keep checking back to see when and where the coupons will be. Also I will be doing a follower appreciation giveaway soon so keep check on that too. You could be the lucky one to win the special treat!!

Thanks for checking in on my lil blog I appreciate you all!!

Happy Saving!!

So onto more exciting things I have been preparing all week for my TRIPLE COUPON EXTRAVAGANZA at Harris Teeter. So hopefully I will have an exciting report to share about my shopping trip....has anyone else done there triple coupon shopping yet and do you have an awesome stories to tell........

OH NO my coupons have EXPIRED

Don't worry.....it happens you can't use every single coupon you come across. BUT not to fret there is something you can do with your expired coupons.....take them and wallpaper your guest room. NO just kidding you can actually send them overseas. WHAT you say...yes overseas, they can use them for up to 6mo past the expiration date!! If you go to southernsavers.com (link is at the top of blog) click on the expired coupons block and she can lead you in the right direction for shipping them out.

Where has the week gone

Hello Couponers, I feel like the week has gone by so quickly. I have got to get out there and scoop up the rest of the deals at the pharmacies. I sat down this morning and organized my coupons with my flyers and I think I have it all figured out. We shall see when I go to check out. I am ready to hear some of your great shopping adventures...don't be shy. It is fun to brag when you are saving money!!

The Sacred Coupon Binder

Here it is I know you have been anxiously awaiting.....Wait no more friends.....TA DA!!

So like I said in the video you can customize this to your liking. As Shown it would cost $30..$36 if shipping out to you. If you do not want a zip binder and you want just a basic hard plastic binder that can be done. It would cost $20....$26 if shipping out. I hope the lil video helped I don't have the best video skills. Let me know if you would like a Binder and what you would like in it. Thanks and Happy Saving!!

It's All Part of The Plan!!!

So Asher and I made our first....that's right I said our First visit to Walgreen's yesterday. We bought 8 items 4 of which were FREE!!! Anyway we bought 8 items and received $13 back in reg rewards. So we now have $35 in reg rewards for future purchases. I plan on going back possibly 2 more times in order to get more reg rewards....it is all part of the plan. 

We also hit up Food Lion not a huge purchase but I spent $18 and Saved $20. 

Always look for the sales with reg rewards and usually there are corresponding coupons to go with it. For example yesterday one of the items I bought was a Gillette Fusion Razor on sale for $9.89 I had a $4 off coupon and you receive $5 reg reward.....Making it $.89. Now that is exciting....at least I think it is. The only down fall of yesterday was I was "that" lady at the register that was holding everyone up. I thought I had properly planned this trip out only to have to be re-rung by the manager on duty. I had a coupon for each item and $4 in reg rewards to use....well silly me I had more coupons than items....OOOPS!! So I now know and the poor people behind me with of course just one item in hand rolling there eyes and huffing know too!!! A learning lesson for all.

Have a good coupon shopping week.....and don't forget to use your Carefree coupon for FREE pads!!!

It's Sunday and you know what that means.....

Yeah Sunday has arrived!! I like Sundays for a couple of reasons first we go to church as a family and have great worship. Second it is coupon day that's right get your papers and your weekly ads it is coupon clippin time!


So I have been asked by some people exactly how I do what I do so now I shall tell you. I want all to remember I am not the coupon guru and don't claim to be. However I really have fun doing it and really enjoy showing others how to as well.


First what I do is buy multiple papers, today we bought 4 of our local paper and 4 of the Raleigh paper. We buy 2 different papers because the Raleigh paper has a better selection of coupons in it. When I get home I take out all the weekly ads that I coupon shop with and take a look at them to see what kind of deals they are offering and that way I can keep a look out for coupons that may correlate with the deals. After scouring the weeklys I start clipping away, now I clip every single coupon there is to clip it doesn't matter whether I use it or not. Once all the coupons are clipped I go through them and separate the ones that I would use or possibly use and the ones that I would not I put to the side. The ones that I put to the side I swap with others, sell on ebay, or send to  friends and family that I know can use them. OK  so back to the coupons you want to use...I have a coupon binder (photos to come later of said binder and you will be able to purchase a similar binder to fit your needs...coming soon) anyways as I was saying I have a binder that I store all my coupon necessities in such as calculator, scissors, weekly ads, shopping list and most important the COUPONS!! I organize the coupons by food and household and I do them by the month they expire. I also have sections in the binder specifically for the places that I shop at so that way I can put the ad and the coupons I want to use in that designated section. 


OK so we have our coupons clipped and organized now what.....We take our weekly ads and we match coupons up to the sales. For instance my fav place is Walgreens they have been running a deal of B1G1 on Osteo-Bi flex pills which are regularly $19.95 and Up per box.I happen to have coupons that are $6 off one bottle so I take 2 of the $6 coupons and apply them to my B1G1 deal Making the total for 2 boxes $7.95 for a total savings of $31.95.


Now it is overwhelming at first because alot of the pharmacies run similar sales so you just have to take your time and see which is the best deal. When I first started I only went to Walgreens just so I could get the hang of it and get it down pat.  The pharmacies such as CVS, Walgreens, RiteAid, etc run there sales Sun-Sat. Now the Grocery stores I shop at run sales Wed-Tues. Also the pharmacies do "cash back" type transactions with certain purchases. CVS has extrabucks, Walgreens has register rewards, and RiteAid does up rewards. All of which you can use on your next purchases. So when looking at the ads be sure to look for the sales with "cash back" benefits and if you have to do multiple transactions in order to get the most bang for your buck (yes I am the crazy lady who goes and separates sales or makes multiple trips in order to get more money back sssshhhh don't tell anyone). 


So I know this is a lot of info to take on all at once and I this was just with the pharmacies I haven't even began to talk about the grocery stores.....OOOOHHHH MAN. So feel free to ask questions and to  add your own coupon knowledge. Also if there are certain coupons that you may be looking for just ask I may have them or know where you can find them. Also under the title of the blog you will find 2 links one for southern savers and the krazy coupon lady. These 2 sites are helpful in matching up coupons with the ads and they also have printable coupons on there site. 

So good luck and get to saving!!!!

Fantastic Friday Savings!!

So the fam and I headed out today to do some coupon shopping!! We started at Rite Aid where the bill was $109.45 but I only pd $48.03 for a total savings of $61.42. I also received $3 of Up Rewards for my next purchase. It was a good start to the coupon shopping extravaganza. 

Next stop Walgreens....I love Walgreens I always get the most for my money there which is what I am aiming to do!! So the total there was $234.42...I pd $107.44 for a total savings of $126.98. I also recieved $23 in register rewards to use for my next purchase...money in the bank people...money in the bank. WHOOHOO!!!! I bought lots of great stuff for us and for donation!!

Last stop CVS I have mixed feelings about CVS but today my feelings were BRING IT ON CVS!! So the total there was $108.50...I pd $36.66 for a total savings of $71.84 and recieved $10 extrabucks for my next visit. AH YES CVS 0 Mendy1....I am the winner today. 

So it was a great day of coupon shopping. I always get so excited to see my savings and to earn more coupons for future purchases. I don't claim to be the expert of coupons but I keep at it and seem to be getting  better with it. I had a couple people come up to me today while I was shopping and asked me how I do it and where I get all my coupons. It made me feel warm and fuzzy to have "fans". I may have to start shopping at night to avoid paparazzi. Let me know if you have any great deals to brag about and if you can share any wisdom. 

I will be hitting the grocery stores soon....stay tuned......
