Results Week: Week of 5/12-5/18

I enjoyed couponing this week!  I screwed up at CVS, but my total still came out good.  Ended up with much less Extrabucks than planned!  Here my two-year-old decided to hold my eyeshadow that should've been on my first transaction and so that was my messed up!  You win some & lose some!  Rite Aid, I am slowly crawling out of the low amount of +Up Rewards week-to-week.  And for the first time this year, I couponed at Family Dollar.  The local one was having a Grand Re-Opening with some awesome stellar deals!  I picked up a few items and am very pleased how everything turned out this week!  I am thinking about this week coming hitting up Walmart to get those few deals before the coupons expire at the end of the month.

Results Week of 5/12-5/18
You Saved How Much

Couponing Tip: There is a must have deal to have this week!  You get your coupons, get your game plan on, get to the store, and empty shelves and no product in sight.  What do you do?  Rainchecks! Each store varies on their raincheck policy.  Majority of them expire within 30 days when issued.  CVS has one of the best one because theirs doesn't expire...ever!
