2013 Coupon Journey: Week of 8/11

This week I went to CVS, Rite Aid, and Weis!  CVS was out of the great Soothe deal!  I did however stumble across a cart with 75% off As Seen On TV items.  I splurged a little on a few items and one of them are for the 500 Likes Giveaway!  Love it!!  Because of the crazy week I am having, I will finish my Back-To-School Shopping on Friday and praying that all the items will be there!! I preach that you should go at the beginning of the week, but my excuse is that I live in the middle of no where to begin with, so I like to wait and do all my trips while I am out and my next outing towards an office supply store is Friday!  I will do my best to have it posted early Saturday morning or late Friday night!

Results Week: 8/11-8/17
You Saved How Much

Couponing Tip:  People have suspected I buy tons of papers to get deals, but I don't!! Depending on the inserts, depends on my amount of papers I buy.  If there are only one or two, I will buy 2-3 papers.  I am lucky to have different regional papers in my area and each paper has different inserts in them because coupons are regional!  If there are 3 or more coupons, depending on how good they are, I will buy 4, sometimes 5 inserts.  However, I have been lucky and having a local newspaper delivery person handing me his leftover inserts.  I usually give the majority of them away, but I do keep some of them as back up, just in case that great deal comes and I already used my amount!
