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!!

You Saved How Much
Results Week 2/27-3/2

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!
