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

Results Week 1/27
You Saved How Much



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!
