Results Week: Week of 3/24-3/30

This week I ventured into Rite Aid, CVS, and Weis.  First off, I bet I wasn't the only excited person to be paying under $1.00 at two different locations for laundry detergent!  Woot!!  Secondly, I want to mention that if you notice when you coupon, usually you have to be quick on your feet, especially at drugstores if everything on your list isn't there.  This happened a Rite Aid this week.  They were rearranging the Easter Candy section, getting ready for the summer items to go out, and that made me not get the almost free Mars Candy Bags.  Then my excitement for the Schick Hydro Silk Razor deal went south really quick when I noticed there wasn't any type of that brand anywhere in the store.  They were ALL gone!  I needed that transaction to make it work and not only that, it was a huge moneymaker.  So I stood there in the middle of the aisle figuring out a new plan!  I did one, but not the way I wanted. I ended up walking out of Rite Aid spending a little more and with less +up rewards than planned.  Depressing!  Overall though, it was a great week for couponing!  Cheap detergent, more razors that never expire, and got myself some Physician's Formula!! Life is Good!!

Results Week: Week of 3/24-3/30
You Saved How Much

Couponing Tip: Be a good couponer, don't clear the shelves!! Yes it's a great deal and yes it's free, but do you really really need 20 boxes of the same cereal?  Are you even going to use it before the expiration date?  This is one of the things that irks me about couponers or newer ones.  They feel they are compelled to clear the shelves.  Now if there are four items and you have four coupons, that is a different story.  I am talking about a complete full shelve of product. If you have to have 20 boxes of that cereal, be courtesy and call the store and get them to order you some.  If they add it to the order, they are able to have enough for everyone!!
