Great Couponing Site

My sister-in-law told me about this great new site http://hip2save.com/

I've fallen in love with it. If you have time - watch the "Follow You" videos. Your mouth will drop on watching these 2 woman go shopping and get well over $200 worth of groceries and pay $8 for it. It's a good teaching video also.

One thing to note: We don't live in an area with major grocery stores with great coupon polices that allow for such a great savings as you see in those videos. But you can get great deals and free stuff every week from the store we do have here.

My CVS shopping list

To see all the deals and links to coupons for CVS - go to this link
http://www.frugalcouponliving.com/category/cvs/

Below is my personal shopping list of what I will be buying. I'm only shopping this time to get what I can for free that is a product I will use. Also, this time I will not spend a dime of my own money. I have enough ECB's to pay for everything from my last shopping trip plus I will earn another $14 for a future shopping trip. I also have a $25 gift card for getting a new prescription (thanks to my poor hubby being sick.)

Crest Pro-Health Enamel Shield toothpaste 4-4.2oz or rinse 14.8oz $3.50 2 $7
$2 off Crest Rinse PandG 2/7or $.75 off toothpaste PandG 2/7
Receive $3.50 in ECBS
Final Price: Free plus overage.Limit 2

Neutrogena Shampoo or Conditioner $5.29 (get $5 wyb 2) Limit 1 1 $5
$2 Hair printable
= $.79 each after ECBs (this shampoo is also good for sunspots during summer)
*******CHECK ON THIS IN STORE - WAS NOT IN AD

Aussie Shampoo or Conditioner – 13.5oz or Styler – 5.1 to 14oz $2.99 (get $2 ECBs) Limit 1 1 $2
$1 RP 2/14

Sundown Melatonin B1G1 free 4

NOTE TO SELF: look for a CVS reinventing beauty magazine, look for in-store coupons or blinkies/peelies

Sunday Paper Coupon preview

If you want to check to see what coupon inserts will be in this Sundays paper check out this link. IMO there is only one insert and it doesn't have much. So I will buy only one paper. The rule is usually to buy one paper for every person in your household but I'm just not that hard-core when it comes to couponing. I check first to see if there is any coupon I would use to make it worth (or cost-effective) spending another $2 to buy another paper. Here's the link...

My Favorite Couponing Websites

Below are my favorite sites that I check daily. This is where I get my best information. I'm always checking out new sites but right now these are the best ones I have found. Find them on facebook, become a fan and then you can get updates throughout the day on your facebook page. If your new to couponing you might want to start organizing your sites in your bookmarks to make it easier for you. Simply go to a website and then select bookmarks and click new folder. Name it whatever you want and start sorting all your sites into one folder. It's much easier and you wont forget the web address. I now sort all my coupon advice sites in one folder and online printable coupon sites in another and my store I shop in go in a third folder. I live in the country and I don't get all the store sales flyer in my mail or newspaper so I check them online. I also can check for online specials that way and for extra coupons.

Here's my top 4:

$99 Cricut machine at Big Lots

Big Lots is having a 2 day sale. Lots of good stuff but the best item I see it the Cricut Create for $99. This also comes with a fonts cartridge that runs around $60. They also have cartridges for $30. I've never seen a Cricut at Big Lots, let alone for $99. This is not the expression but it's a step up from the one I have which is the original. Great buy for the scrapbooker or a good gift to give. See their 2 day sale flyer below.

If you have couponing to do at Walgreens - do it on Friday and use this coupon below in addition to your purchases. From the fine print that I read - it did not say you can't use this coupon on sale items or with other coupons. But it does say it is for select items in the store. So I will find out tomorrow. Right now the best deal I got there this week was for huggies diapers which were $3.99 per Jumbo pack for Little Movers. They are over $12 at Target normally.

My Target shopping trip today...
Target has their bedding and bath clearance at 75% off. They will be re-structuring that area of their stores for a new line coming in. So now is the time to buy if you need those items. I saw a king size comforter 4-piece bed set for $22 and it was cute. I bought bed embroidered dark brown satin pillow shams (king) for $5 each - they were origanally $20. I also found a expresso brown wood framed edged mirror for $15 (it was $60). It had a small damaged spot on one side that would not show once it hangs on the wall. I also got 4 travel size bottles of Johnson and Johnson shamppo and lotion for free.
Johnson & Johnson Products
$1.00/1 Head to Toe Fragrance Free Lotion
$1.00/1 Head to Toe Baby Wash
$1.00/1 Baby Shampoo
$1.00/1 Baby Oil
$2.00/2 any product
I also used my quaker oatmeal coupons and combined that witht he Target sale and was able to get 4 boxes of oatmeal for $.75 each
these coupons are in the 2/7 evansville newspaper coupons

I also got 2 packages of GE Reveal lightbulbs for $.95 each. I printed out 2 coupons from www.target.com and one coupon online bricks.coupons.com which gave me $4.00 off 2 packages.

My best deal was buying Boost Kids Essential drink which is $9.96 and I used a online coupon for $5.00 which came from http://www.couponsinc.com/corp/source/cp_clientlist.asp and a $3 target coupon that was mailed to me from being on their mailing list. So I paid $1.96 for them.

Hope these deals help make ends meet for your family!
