Good Deals

Hello couponers my coupon drop was successful yesterday...I haven't heard from anyone so I don't know if anyone found them or not, but I did my part.

Anyway I went to Harris Teeter on Tues. my final outcome wasn't my best by any means I only saved $33 and spent $90...BOOO. I hadn't been to the grocery store for a lil bit so I had to buy things that I had no coupons for and were not on sale...OH WELL.

On a happier note I got 2 cases of water at Rite Aid for $1.67 and walked away with a $1.50 in Up Rewards. How did I do this you ask....well I had bought some diapers last week and for each pack I bought I earned $4 in Up Rewards. I had $8 in Up Rewards and the water was on sale so yadda yadda...water for $1.67.

I also went to CVS to get SoBe water for $.88 and the mouthwash that was on sale that you could earn $2 in ExtraBucks....but NO mouthwash to be found. I did get my 7 bottles of SoBe water so it wasn't a total wash.

Have you had any super finds this week??

Coupon Drop!!!

OK So I am going to try this again and see what happens.

I am going to drop off some coupons tomorrow at CVS and Rite Aid in Fayetteville, NC. Your job is to go find them...YEAH!! I will place the envelope of coupons in the mag section of the stores. Good luck and let me know if you find them!!

 P.S. the Rite Aid is the one on Raeford rd across from Harris Teeter and the CVS is on the corner of Raeford and Hope Mills Rd.

Oh the fun We had

So I went to Rite Aid and got my Pampers using my 1.50 coupon and I got back $4 in up rewards I bought 2 packs so I received.......wait for it.......$8 back in up rewards. I know what you are thinking she is so good at math...LOL!! 
I also made out my Harris Teeter list for this week they have some good deals going on. If you use Luvs diapers they have them for 5.99 a pack. They also have B1G1 canned coke products. They have many more great things but those 2 were the ones that I can remember.
OK so now on to the more important things vaca pics!!!!

Hello Coupon Friends

So I am back from my Vacation. I am playing catch up today since being gone for 2weeks. During my travels I collected some coupons so I am ready to get to cutting and organizing!! I am hoping to cash in on some good deals this week. I was scanning the ads yesterday and the one that I saw in Rite Aid for Pampers diapers was SUPER....You get $4 up rewards with your purchase and you can get up to 2 in one trip...WHOOHOO. It is also exciting because I have coupons for diapers!! Let me know of any great deals you have come across...Talk to you all soon. 

I might even post some vaca pics on here for fun!!

I Am Still Here!!

So I haven't been on here for a while it is not because I don't love all of you it is because I am on Vacation visiting my family!! They have dial up internet and if you have ever had the privilige of using that it is like having to wait an eternity for anything to download. So anyway I am not doing any couponing because I don't need to haul groceries or personal items home!! BUT not to worry I will be back in action once I am home!!

I hope everybody is doing good and I will talk to you soon

XOXO Mendy

Special Guest!!

So my mommy friend has stopped by as a Special First Time Guest to tell us how to shop at CVS and Target. Enjoy!!

Hello readers! Mendy asked me to do a guest post on my two specialties- Target and CVS. I have always loved Target and shopped at Target and spent waaaay too much money at Target. It wasn't until I started couponing about a year ago that I realized Target can be a gold mine of great deals. As for CVS, I don't think I had ever set foot in that store until I started couponing. It is way overpriced if you go in there and pay full price for things. But don't be intimidated, because it is also a gold mine of great deals once you get the hang of it.

Let's start with CVS because it's more complicated and then I'll finish with my simple and lovely Target.

The first thing you want to do at CVS is go to the front register and ask the cashier for an ExtraCare card. This is your ticket to the good prices, and also the ExtraCare bucks... which is how you will get the good deals. (Don't forget to register your ExtraCare card online when you get home. Just go to CVS.com). Each time you go into CVS you want to scan your card at the big, red Coupon Center. This is usually located near the front door. The machine will print out CVS coupons and any ExtraCare bucks that you have earned.

CVS deals have two categories- ECB (ExtraCare bucks) deals and non-ECB deals. I usually only buy deals that have an ECB attached. What this means is that you will buy a certain product and on your receipt an ECB will print. This is CVS money that can be used toward anything in the store. When you pair ECB's with coupons, you can get items for very cheap or free. Here's an example from this coming week, July 3-9.

-Buy one Oral-B Advantage or Cross Action Toothbrush at $3, get a $1 ECB

Buy 2 Sunday papers (7/3) and find the P&G insert. There will be a $2 off coupon for this toothbrush. So here's your scenario. This deal has a limit of two, so you will do two separate transactions in order to make the most of your money.

Transaction #1

Buy 1 toothbrush @ $3

-Use $2 off coupon

Pay $1 out of pocket and get a $1 ECB, so it's basically free!

Transaction #2

Buy 1 toothbrush @ $3

-Use $2 off coupon

-Use $1 ECB

Pay NOTHING out of pocket and get a $1 ECB, so you are making money!

The more familiar you become with CVS, the more items you can add per transaction and the more ECB's you will make. To find out what deals CVS has each week and to get some ideas for transactions, check out SouthernSavers.com. I know this may seem overwhelming, but if you start out simple and give yourself time to learn, you will find that you will have end up with a mini drugstore in your home with very little money spent on it!

Now to talk about Target, which is much more straight forward. The biggest thing to know about Target is that they will accept one Target coupon and one manufacturer's coupon per item. This is how you will get the best deals. There is currently a great deal on Sally Hansen nail polish... you can get is for just $.04! Here's how-

Buy 1 Sally Hansen nail polish at $2.04

(there will be multiple kinds at multiple prices,

so try to search until you find the cheapest one)

-Use $1 off Target coupon (under beauty)

-Use $1 0ff Manufacturer's coupon (under personal care)

Pay just $.04 out of pocket!

To find Target deals I use SouthernSavers.com, and MyFrugalAdventures.com. I tend to go to Target at least once a week to grab the new deals that have come out over the previous week... and I might also grab extra stuff I wasn't planning on buying because hey, I just love that store!

I hope this post has help shed some light on these two stores. If you have any questions, come visit me at my blog! Happy couponing!!!
