2013 Coupon Jouney: Week of 9/15

This week I headed to my usual spots, CVS & Rite Aid.  I left Rite Aid confused and realized that the cashier scanned an extra item and had to go back for refund.  Then at CVS I found the 90% off clearance aisle and went a little cray-cray in it.  I spent $4.00 in extrabucks on that transaction because I knew I reached my $5.00 Beauty Bucks, so I wanted to snatch these deals for next year!

Results Week of 9/15-9/21
You Saved How Much



Couponing Tip: One of the biggest ways I save so much money is shopping at multiple stores.  One day each week I dedicate it as my 'errand' day.  For example, when I decide to go to the grocery store, I may hit 3-4 spots for groceries because I only will buy the items that are on sale and go to a cheaper store, for around my area is Save-A-Lot or even Dollar Tree to get those items that aren't normally on sale.  I also found that some gas stations have the cheaper prices in milk too.  I sit down and sort out what I am buying where, get my list and coupons organized for the trip and go!!  Sure it takes a little extra time out of your day to stop at a few stores, but the savings is well worth it!!  So remember, Multiple Store = Maximal  Savings!
