Results Week of 1/20-1/26

This week, the deals were amazing!!  After seeing what all I got, I feel I went a bit crazy with the deals!  At CVS, I used my gift card again, so the total won't count to that amount.  The good news is I only have $1.28  left on that card, so then you will see my total of "actually" paying out of my pocket!  Rite Aid had so many deals that I wanted to do it all in one trip and paid a whole lot outta pocket!  I did reach my Buy & Save $100 goal and a $20 +up reward printed out!  So after all of that out of pocket cost, I have plenty of +up rewards to use on how I see fit!  Hopefully the next two weeks there has tons of deals!  This was the last week in January to finish the Buy & Save program.  In two weeks, Feburary's will start and that is the last month that they will have this promotion.  I also took a small trip to Walmart.  I decided to use up those coupons on really great items for under $1.00!

You Saved How Much





Couponing Tip: Do the terms "stacking coupons" confuse you?  Don't worry, I was first confused too. This is where you stack a manufacturer  coupon with a store coupon for one item.  You can't do this with two manufacturer coupons. The main stores that allow "stacking" are Target, Rite Aid, & CVS. I am going to break down each store for you to better understand. Target: Target has their own store coupons.  Sometimes you find them in the Sunday inserts; print them off of the target.com site; and on your smartphone, download the Target app to receive a text for mobile coupons.  The mobile coupons can only be used once for an item.  The barcode that attaches with it will know which ones you used and didn't use. The target.com coupons are only allowed to be printed twice.  Some Targets will only allow one "stacking" of the same item once. This means, if you have two printable target coupons and two manufacturer coupons for Downy, you can only buy one Downy per transaction.  Rite Aid: This store has a great stacking policy!  You can use up to three types of coupons per item!  They have the ad perks feature online.  You watch a video and print them.  One coupon only prints.  There is also flyer ad coupons and facebook coupons.  The only way you can triple stack an item is if one is a manufacturer  one has the beginning code RC48, and the other has RC49.  Those RC codes are store coupons!  You can't use two of the same beginning number for one item.  CVS: They have their "magic machine" that you scan your card one.  You also rarely get store coupons too!  You can get these in your mail or online.  If that rare moment happens, you can stack all three of them together!!  I hope this helps clarify what the couponing term "stacking" means!
