Results Week: Week of 8/4

This week was a great couponing week!  I headed to CVS, Walgreens, and Rite Aid!  I think I was excited to coupon this week due to the fact that I will be on Central PA Live tomorrow!!  Very excited!  I had a little issue with CVS not working out as planned, but other than that, great week in couponing!

Results Week: Week of 8/4-8/10
You Saved How Much

Couponing Tip:  One main issue is the couponing world is fraudulent coupons!  I want to give a few tips on how to avoid them!  First and foremost, stay away from the buying coupon business!!  Unless they can prove they are legit, STAY AWAY!!  Did I mention...STAY AWAY!  Many of these coupons create they own coupons.  If the value and coupon seems a bit high and too good to be true, it probably is!  Lately there has been talks about fraudulent couponing rings being brought down for printing counterfeit coupons and if you get caught with these coupons, it can mean fines or even jail time for you!   It's a serious crime! Stick with the Sunday Paper Coupons and legitimate couponing sites like coupons.com and others!
