Coupon-a-holic

My name is Jamie and I am a coupon-a-holic.

I had to take my 2 year old to the doctor today.

When I walked in I spotted the Parents magazine.

Since I get that magazine, I knew that there was

a $1/1 Ronzoni pasta coupon. I took the magazine

to the room with us and ripped out the coupon.

(Does this make me a thief? They will just throw it

out or some other coupon-a-holic would get it.)

Then when I went to put the magazine in the rack

while in the room, there was another Parents magazine.

Yep--I took that coupon too. Then I decided to thumb

through the Rachel Ray magazine and low and behold--

another coupon. I am now is possession of 4 $1/1

coupons for the pasta that is part of Kroger's March

madness sale. I will make $$$ buying the pasta and get

4 FREE boxes of Ronzoni pasta. Love it!

PSSST

General Mills has a program called PSST.

I have mentioned it before. If you are not

a member, you'll want to sign up. They are

going to be having some hosting opportunities

for you this spring if you are interested.

Sounds like it might be a little like House

Party.

Facebook Fan

Become a fan of Peanuts on facebook and print

a coupon for $1.50 off. Great deal on some Peanuts

at Kroger this week making them just $.49 with coupon.

Walgreens also has a deal too. Become a fan!! Here is the

link. I almost forgot!

CVS Lingo

ECB's: Extra care bucks that print out on your receipt. Use them in CVS like cash for anything you need/want to purchase. I like to roll mine if I can into more ECB's from transaction to transaction so that my OOP is less.

OOP: Out of pocket--what it will cost you.

*Don't forget to scan your CVS card at the little red machine in the store close to the front for extra coupon savings. Sometimes you may get $25 Gift Card with new or transferred prescription!!

CVS 3/7-3/13

I really need to get my camera fixed b/c I would

love to show you what I scored at CVS today.

Guess you'll just get to read about it again though.

Nivea Lip Care $2.99 get $2.99 ECB's

use BOGO coupon from 2/7 paper

Like getting 2 for free!!

Gillette Fusion Razor $8.99 get $4 ECB's

use $4/1 coupon from 2/7

OOP: $.99

Pantene Pro-V Shampoo/Conditioner $3.48

Buy 2 get $2 ECB's back

use $2/1 from 2/7

**Pretty good deal if you NEED them. My stockpile of shampoo

is gone so I NEEDED it.

2 Oral B Cross Action Toothbrushes $4 get $4 ECB's back

you can buy 2 in one transaction

use 2 $.75/1 coupons from 2/21

Like making $.75 for each toothbrush.

4 boxes of Kellogg's cereal at $2.50 get $5 ECB's back

use 2 Kellogg's coupons here

Dawn dish soap $1

If you have coupons from Home Made Simple, use the $.50/1

OOP: $.50

My total OOP was only $12.24 after my coupons and ECB's that I rolled over. I got back (drum roll please).......$23.00 in ECB's!!!

Love CVS!!!

If you don't have the above coupons the above scenario will not be so great for you. Below is a scenario for new CVS bargain shoppers!!

Transaction #1

Buy one Oral B Cross Action toothbrush for $4 and get $4 ECB's back.

Transaction #2

Buy 4 boxes of Kellogg's cereal and use 2 coupons from here.

Your total will be $10. Use the 2 coupons which will take off $3

and use your $4 ECB from the toothbrush. Pay $3 OOP but get

a $5 ECB at the end of your transaction.

SIMPLE and it's like getting a toothbrush for free. Even if you don't need one, you can stockpile.

Save your ECB's safely for next week so that you may begin to roll them into more great bargains.

Sun Chips

Become a fan of Sun Chips on facebook

and get a coupon for a free bag of Sun Chips.

Walgreens

If you have not made it to Walgreens this week,

there are a few deals.

OOP: $.19 per pack

Kroger fun

Head over here to Kroger's

site and play a game of March

madness. I played earlier today

I'll get with my coupons and the $5 off.

You can play once a day. Let me know

what great things you win.
