If You Love Swagbucks...

If your a fan of Swagbucks, then you're going to love MyPoints! At MyPoints you can earn points for doing the things you already do, like; shopping, reading emails, playing games, searching the web, taking surveys, and more! Now, I know that Swagbucks addicts are probably thinking How can I join MyPoints and do these things, when I already do all of this with Swagbucks? I totally understand what you mean.

I've only...

Cheap Huggies wipes at Walgreens

Huggies wipes are $2.49 at Walgreens this week. There is also a $1 off Huggies wipes coupon in the July coupon booklet. You will find this booklet at the front of the store near the weekly ad. There was a $.50 off Huggies manufactures coupon in the paper a while back or if you are on Huggies mailing list they sent a coupon for $.75 off wipes (with a couple of coupons for diapers as well.) With these manufactures coupons you could get the wipes for either $.75 or $1 since Walgreens allows you to stack on manufactures coupon with one Walgreens coupon. I normally use cloth wipes at home but I do use disposables for going out and I prefer Huggies...

Step 2: How to Organize your Coupons

First off, you have to decide whether you're going to clip every coupon as you receive it, or whether you're going to store your inserts, magazines, etc in their entirety and just clip the coordinating coupons as you find deals. How do I decide which method is best for me? That's easy! Are you the kind of person that goes to the store for 3 things, and walks out with a cart full? If your an impulse shopper, then you'll want to use Method #1. This way, you'll have all of your coupons with you at all times. If you see something that isn't on your list, you can quickly see if you have a coupon for it. If you are the kind of person that makes a...

Step 1: Where do I get all of these coupons?

In this step, we are going to discuss how to get your hands on those all too valuable coupons. 1) Newspaper Inserts - The very first place to look for coupons is obviously in the Sunday paper. You can either do this by going to the store and buying the paper every weekend (just make sure the plastic insert is inside your paper before you pay for it), or you can subscribe to the Sunday edition by calling your newspaper or going online. If your a new subscriber, they normally have really good deals on the Sunday edition. 2) Magazines - I subscribe to All You magazine, which you can also buy monthly at Wal-Mart. This particular magazine has a...

Become an Expert at Couponing

Have you seen the new show Extreme Couponing? It's a little crazy, I know, but realistically I believe many people are jealous of the fact that someone can walk out of a store paying just under $20 for over $1,200 worth of groceries. I know I am! Well, I've been slowly but surely working on becoming a couponer. I've nailed the basics and I'm moving on to building a stockpile. I don't need a grocery store in my basement (heck...I don't even have a basement), but I would love to have enough of my family's every day necessities on hand so I don't have to worry about running out of toilet paper (which happened last week :-P). So, I'm going to start...

Toys R' Us Shopping Trip - July 2nd

Luke's Poppy gave him a gift card to Toys R' Us for his birthday since he was out of town. So, when I got an email the other day from Toys R' Us saying all Crayola Color Wonder was on sale for buy one get one free, I knew I had to take him to use his gift card. He had a bunch of Color Wonder kits on his birthday wishlist that no one had gotten for him, so it worked out perfectly. The total came to $51.94 before sales, and I only paid $28.97 for a savings of 44%. Not too bad without any coupons! Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4...

My apologies that it took so long for me to get around to week two, I've been pretty busy lately! If you missed week one make sure to check it out and keep an eye out for the next 6 installments!

Kawaii diaper So it's a new week and you have the $20 to spend that you normally would be spending on disposables (remember we are estimating.)

I had a few coupons that I lined up with the sales at CVS, so I planned a very small trip yesterday to pick up some things.

Walgreens Coupon Trip - July 2nd

  This is my couponing "loot" for the day.  I use coupons from time to time but have never really put much effort into it. Going to Walgreens or any other drugstore on a Saturday (last day of the week for their ads) is never a good idea but I ended up getting all but 3 things from my list. I don't have an exact amount for what everything was but here is a general idea: (2) Tylenol Precise $8 regular price - $3 Walgreens Coupon - $5 Manufactures coupon = FREE!(1) Reach toothbrush $3 sale price - $1 coupon + 2 RR = $2 spent, 2 RR received(3) Colgate Toothpaste $1 sale price - .75 coupons = .75 for all 3!(4) Pringles Super Stacks $6/4...
