Results Week: 4/7-4/13

This week there was a lot of really great deals.  However, I didn't snag a whole lot of them this week.  They either were something I wasn't interested in or the store didn't have the product.  I did my weekly small grocery shopping at Weis to find some hair clips on clearance.  I snagged up two packs!  Then I went to CVS to find that my local store didn't get in the Brookside Chocolate that would've been free after reward.  I was also disappointed that I didn't get the 20% off e-mail.  If I did, I would have only spent $0.09 for everything!! Then I went to Rite Aid and they were out of stock on the Bic Razor moneymaker deal.  I was wanting to leave, but I had $10.00 +Up Rewards that expired that day, so I had to freestyle!! Didn't turn out bad at all!  If you are near the Everett, PA Rite Aid, they have a ton of Easter items at 75% off!  Thought I'd throw that out there!  Since my week seemed a bit daunting, I was happy to snag items that were on the higher end retail price wise for basically nothing!! I was glad to grab the Dr. Scholl's, DermaSilk, and Sally Hansen Deals!

Couponing Tip:  Couponers and Couponing seems to have so many misconceptions!!  Beginners seem to have TLC's Extreme Couponers in their head.  First off, wipe out that image!  That is not what a true extreme couponer is!  Extreme Couponers buy within their household limits.  Yes, they have a stockpile, but not one that would qualify them for an episode of hoarders!  They slowly stockup by only buying items at extremely low prices!! This is what I do with My Coupon Journey and I hope this is what you are learning along the way.  You don't need dozens of hundreds of inserts!  You only need a couple to get the job done! I buy for a family of four and if I get items that I don't use because they are free or moneymakers, I donate them or give them to someone!  Another image you need to wipe out of your head is that you will not get everything for free or close to free!! Somethings just don't work that way!  I hope this helps wipe out those mental ideas of what extreme couponers are!
