2013 Coupon Journey: Week of 9/1

This week I headed to CVS, Rite Aid, and swung into Walmart for some moneymaking shaving cream!  I went off the beaten path at CVS when I saw the diaper clearance!!  My daughter is soooo close to being potty trained and those Huggies Slip Ons can work perfect as Pull Ups also!!  Rite Aid was a nightmare!!  The register hated not only me, but the entire staff!  It didn't like my +Up Rewards.  Would not and refused to recognize them.  So three transaction redos and 45 minutes later, we got to fool the register and I got my sale!  I had my daughter (who just turned three) with me and I was very blessed that she was in a good mood and didn't flip out for being in that store for so long!  The plus side of Walmart was I walked out with the money, so I was pleased with this easy moneymaker and now have plenty shaving gels (like 30 +) in my stockpile.

Results Week: Week of  9/1-9/7
You Saved How Much

Couponing Tip:  We all know about finding coupons in the Sunday Paper, but did you know that magazines are another great place for coupons?  There is a magazine that is called All You, found only on Walmart shelves that has lots of coupons in them!!  Also, other magazines will have them in too.  On YSHM, we tell you about free magazine subscriptions all the time!!  Some of these magazines I don't even read, I just know there are coupons that are sent in them.  I get it out of the box, search for the coupons and done with it.  Usually I have someone who wants to read the magazine or my trash can will get the events going on.
