Results Week: Week of 3/31-4/6

What an exciting week!! I got invited back to Central PA Live and personally think I did such a better job compared to last time!  I learn so much about Live TV!!  This week there were so many great deals at all location this week!  This was the week to stockup on your mouthwash, battery powered toothbrushes, and Dawn Dish Liquid!  Plus there was many freebies happening too!!  I was excited to be able to go to Walgreens and Target this week!  Walgreens we had a tiny dispute over mislabeling, but they saw I was correct and got my money back for the difference!  I also was excited to be able to use my high value John Freida coupons (I got in the mail) there too!  Target was awesome because I found coupons laying by the Downy that were of high value that was expiring the day I couponed!! I helped myself to them, stacked a Target coupon with them, and got a great deal!  Then I went to Rite Aid and CVS!  I was happy with free Shampoo at CVS, plus I got $1.50 Extrabucks for my Winter Rewards.  So that made my total cheaper!! I also had a great time getting a few deals at Rite Aid!



You Saved How Much
Results Week 3/31-4/6




Couponing Tip: On TV this week, I gave out couponing tips.  One that I didn't cover is how to be a Courteous Couponer!!  Couponers already come with this stigma about them.  They are poor, rude, and cheap.  While one outta two are true (the cheap one, duh!), there are a few pointers I would like to give out. If you are going to buy a large quantity, call the store and order ahead.  That way you are getting your items without ruining it for others.  Shop in the beginning of the week and during off-peak hours.  That way you aren't holding up others and doing it in the beginning of the week ensures getting items. Share your coupons with others!! If you have a coupon expiring and seeing another person buying that item, give it to them!  And as always, be show courtesy to other customers and to the employees.  If you shop there week, the employees will get a certain impression of you and this helps out whenever you run into a couponing issue.  If you give them a great impression, employees are more willing to help you and even share unadvertised deals!
