Results Week: Week of 7/7
This week I decided to extend my usual couponing stops and added Target & Giant Eagle to the list! I enjoyed getting different things again this week, mainly household items instead of hygiene. Later this week, I will be added a second half onto the My Couponing Journey Page. It will be my Back-To-School Results. Sadly, I don't live near the main office supplies stores, so Friday when I need to go to the area of other reasons, I will stop in and get them. Stay tuned for my results at the end of the week then! Back to these results, Target was great with the text coupons offer FRESH to 82738. They are great. Rite Aid was a great week and sadly CVS was a bad week for me. Everything I wanted was not on the shelves. Maybe next week I will have a better week there!

Results Week: Week of 2/27-3/2
This has became an excited, event-filled week! I can't believe this site and the work I have been putting into it was shown on television!! Even better, they want me to keep coming back!! This was such a blessing and I need to take a moment and that Jesus for the great door he has opened. This is becoming something bigger than what I had planned!! I am also thankful for such a great supportive husband!! During the week, I did couponing a few times this week. I messed up really bad on my first trip to Rite Aid, which turned into a second trip! I couldn't get any of the Poise deals at Rite Aid or CVS, so rainchecks was my next option!! CVS trip went smoothly. I screwed up my preplanning math and paid a $1.00 more than planned. Oh well! Then I hit Walgreens for the first time this year! If you are near a Walgreens, GO!! They are having major clearance. Of course, I don't go there often, so I always start out there without any Register Rewards, which makes my total a bit higher than my usual. I also picked up some dryer sheets at Weis. Though I screwed up a bit these past two weeks on my planning, I think nothing can get me off this Cloud 9 feeling!!
Couponing Tip: I want to touch base a little on ecoupons!! Depending on the stores Coupon Policy, depends on how you can use ecoupons!! I suggest, as always, to review your coupon policy that should always be in your binder to understand it more!! Anyhow, did you know that multiple stores offer ecoupons to "clip" at a click? All you do is go to that store's website, view the coupons, and sometimes you get lucky enough to find a great ecoupon to match up with the deal. Depending on where you live, some store allow stacking with that coupon. However places like, Weis, Giant Eagle, and Rite Aid do not offer this. These are the only local areas where I live that offer the ecoupon program! So always check out the ecoupons while preplanning those trips to the store!

Results Week: Week of 2/17
I had such an off week this week. I forgot my CVS Extrabucks at home. Luckily, I didn't buy much, but that was depressing!! Rite Aid, my bill was fabulous, however, I realized after I left that I didn't get an +up reward due to my wellness gold status! I will probably go back again at the end of the week just to buy one thing to get my $3 +up reward. I can't complain though because I did get my $20 +up reward for the Buy & Save Promotion. Sadly though, I had my days wrong and $7.00 +up rewards had expired. I felt like having a funeral. To me, it's like I took $7.00 out of my wallet and threw it in the trash. I did have great finds though at Weis & Giant Eagle!! Plus to make my horrible week turn into gold, we got a shout out on WTAJ Channel 10 by Carolyn Donaldson, who recently became a new couponer!

| Results Week 2/17-2/23 You Saved How Much |
Couponing Tip: Clearance is every couponers dream!! The best part is to know when the is at their lowest. When things just get marked down, don't hurry up and stockpile on that item!! Wait a week or two until the price drops!! The only way I will buy something right away is if the last one on the shelve and it's a piece of clothing or something that along those lines. Patience isn't a great quality, but it's a great one to have with clearance!

Results Week: Week of 2/10
I have to admit once again, I am love, love, LOVING the Buy & Save Promotion that is happening at Rite Aid. Not only has it scored me many extra +Up Rewards, but it has been producing many great sale items. I was a bit excited for the Sucrets deal because our family has been battling the sore throats. Not only that, but there have been other great deals that have been going on! As any couponers wish, I hope that these great deals trickle into the months to follow! CVS had a few great deals, I am still kind of disappointed in their sales as of late. It seems that the better deals doesn't involve Extrabucks. Either way, no one can pass up freebies and I hope CVS can turn the deals around for us in the near future!! I also got some free Crest and a great deal on Duracell at Giant Eagle too this week!
Couponing Tip: The major key to success is planning your trips ahead before going to the store. Even more important, STICKING to your list. The only way I will waver, is if I found some random amazing clearance deal or another deal that is stockpile price worthy! To pre-plan to trip is vital. You need to go through the flier and check out the deals and match coupons with them. Then double check your favorite couponing site, You Saved How Much (of course) to see what deals we have found for you. Use an envelope or fold up a piece of paper that will hold your coupons in and write down your final list. Personally, I like doing my final list according to aisles in the grocery store (or in transaction order for a drugstore). After you complete that, go through your binder and put your coupons in the order of your list. This way if you are questioning a product, if you don't get the product, or something else arises, you can get to that coupon quickly. When you get to the register, make sure you have the correct coupons for your order. I like to go back through, get multiple ones unstuck and make sure I got everything on my list. The cashier always appreciates an organized couponer! This will help you not only maximize your savings, but help your shopping trip become less of a hassle! Planning is always an important essential to successful money saving!

Couponing Tip: The major key to success is planning your trips ahead before going to the store. Even more important, STICKING to your list. The only way I will waver, is if I found some random amazing clearance deal or another deal that is stockpile price worthy! To pre-plan to trip is vital. You need to go through the flier and check out the deals and match coupons with them. Then double check your favorite couponing site, You Saved How Much (of course) to see what deals we have found for you. Use an envelope or fold up a piece of paper that will hold your coupons in and write down your final list. Personally, I like doing my final list according to aisles in the grocery store (or in transaction order for a drugstore). After you complete that, go through your binder and put your coupons in the order of your list. This way if you are questioning a product, if you don't get the product, or something else arises, you can get to that coupon quickly. When you get to the register, make sure you have the correct coupons for your order. I like to go back through, get multiple ones unstuck and make sure I got everything on my list. The cashier always appreciates an organized couponer! This will help you not only maximize your savings, but help your shopping trip become less of a hassle! Planning is always an important essential to successful money saving!

Results Week: Week of 1/27
I started out this week thinking the deals weren't that great!! I was wrong!! Rite Aid was a little crazy this week. Because the Everett one is so small, I couldn't get the Scrubbing Bubbles deal that I wanted! Also, there is a double dipping deal going on with the Aveeno. I didn't realize it until later that I didn't get the double dipping because of my wellness card being gold status. I am very close to that deal and will probably get it next week. Also I had to divide up my transactions there because the Aveeno coupons stated only a total of four coupons per transaction. So I need to do that separate to keep my total low! I went to CVS, Rite Aid, and Giant Eagle this week
Couponing Tip: One key ingredient to making couponing successful is organizing. First off, making your binder easy to access. Everyone is different on their organizing. What makes mine easier for me is to have it divided up. I have four major sections, hygiene, household, food, misc. My hygiene section is even more divided up by toothpaste, toothbrush, shampoo/conditioner, makeup, etc. My household section has laundry, all purpose cleaners, floor cleaners, toilet paper/paper towel products, etc. My food section has drinks, fridge, freezer, canned, meats, etc. My misc has baby items, dog items, medicines (which is divided up even more for quicker access), store/restaurant coupons, etc. To start, get a binder! I have a zip up one because of how clumsy I am and so coupons don't fall out! Buy baseball card holders! There are also different kinds if you don't like folding up your coupons. This is what helps me. It is a bit time consuming, but well worth it for maximum savings!
