i heart coupons

i havent posted in a couple months..... been super busy with ryan and baby jacob.

since i am still on disibility leave, and not getting paid as much from the state as i was while working.... i have had to find ways to stretch my dollars.

i am a COUPONER! and i'm getting pretty good at it if i do say so myself.......

my plan is to share a couple of my bargin deals with my readers each week, so you to can take advantage of great deals on things we all use/need daily.

Today: Jan 12 2011

i made two separate trips to two different rite aids today.

trip one:
4x care free 16 count packs of panty liners 
2x stay free 14 count panty liners
x3 secret deodorants

had $21.00 in coupons
saved $32.47 total
total was $9.75 after tax
and got $8.00 in coupons at bottom of my receipt for next time

so i actually only paid $1.75 for all that

trip two:
x4 boxes special k cereal
x2 packs of plastic container things for leftovers

had $10.98 in coupons
saved $20.56 total
and got $4.00 in coupons at the bottom of my receipt for next time

so i only paid the cashier .85 cents and got $4.00 for next time

now all this may be confusing to some, it was super confusing to me 3 weeks ago, and i have worked at longs/cvs for 11 years. i am just learning how to really use coupons to get the best price and to get stuff for next to no cost & even free. but you too can learn, and i will be happy to help.

freebie of the week:

special k cereal 12 oz. box

first: sign up on riteaid.com for their wellness card

second: click this link http://bricks.coupons.com/Start.asp?tqnm=yaemcru6201985&bt=vi&o=81160&c=SK&p=tMHjYwsz
print out the coupon, hit the back button to print it again
limit 2 prints per computer
third: go to rite aid before Saturday night (1/15/2011) grab 2 boxes of special k for every coupon you have.
1 coupon = 2 boxes
2 coupons = 4 boxes
fourth: give cashier your printed wellness card from riteaid.com , hand them cereal, and then coupons.
you will get them for FREE! and at the bottom of your receipt you will have a $1 coupon for each box toward your next purchase.

that's free cereal and more coupons for next time!! SCORE!


let me know if you do this deal.... or if you have your own post it as a comment.
check back for more deals weekly.
