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!
