Results Week: Week of 3/10-3/16

There was many great deals this week!! I hit up Rite Aid twice, CVS, and Weis this week.  Rite Aid, I was a bit frustrated my first visit, the Poise raincheck didn't go as excepted. Though I had coupons making it free and getting $5.98 +Up Rewards back, they just deducted the rewards from the sale price and gave it to me free anyways. I shouldn't complain because I will be donating all the Poise I end up buying.  Then I found out the UTZ monthly deal isn't in my region!! Darn!!  I however, was excited to buy some of the Snapware.  Though I love couponing, it is refreshing to coupon for something different once in a while.  I also bought two more Mr. Potatohead Notebooks.  These are perfect for my kids when we make our 8 hour vacation drive in June!  This should entertain them for a little bit! I also think I got way too much junk food this week too!  I guess the kids will have much of it in their Easter Basket and as always, Mommy & Daddy can help limit the sugar intake ;).  CVS was fun too!  The magic machine made my day when the Almay coupon printed, since Almay was on my list and of course the 20% off!! Happy girl here!  Weis had many great deals food and non-food this week.  I just got two different products because I liked where their prices were at!!  I also hit Rite Aid a second time to take advantage of the St Joseph Monthly Deal.  That is a pure moneymaker and a bigger one if you are Gold Status!!  Since there is more than one limit, I am tempted to do it again, but would anyone need any aspirin? I think a box of donations might be in store in the near future

Results Week: 3/10-3/16
You Saved How Much

Couponing Tips: Donate!! As a couponer, I love getting freebies and moneymakers, but sometimes they are products I don't use!!  I usually strongly urge for you to buy within your family means and uses, I also want to stress the importance of giving!!  I feel that couponing is a gift.  Not everyone has the time, patience, or even the understanding of coupons.  I feel because I can do this and it has helped my family out tremendously  you should do it also. Ask local churches and food banks what you can and can't donate.  Even some nursing homes take in donations!  I like to do it when I think I have too much of a product that I might not use in time.  Though I try not to do it, sometimes I overstock!  Last year, I ended up either getting free or making money of diabetic meters.  I was able to donate to family members that are diabetic in need of a new meter and also to a local church! There are so many way to contribute and I feel this is one way!  There isn't a better feeling than helping someone out!
