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!

You Saved How Much
Results Week 2/10

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!
