The List

First off - I am indeed sorry it has been since Saturday since I posted. It has been an incredibly busy week for our family, and I have not had even a moment to check email, blog or go on the computer at all! (I am dreading getting over to check on my email, last time I went for just a few days without checking them I had over 300 to go through!) I am thinking with the change in job, the holidays and life in general, I won't be able to post as often as I was (if there were just three or four more hours in a day it might be different!) But until I can find my niche, I think I am going to have to tone it down to just twice a week or so. So, please bear with me! I am still here.... just trying to find some time to breathe these days!

Here's the list for this week - (Once again, I am sorry it is so late in being posted.) As always, it may change a bit as I (hopefully) continue to add coupon matches, or find in store deals. I do not list coupons you cannot also find (like coupons that have been mailed to me, or coupons that I found on store packaging - unless I know you can get them, too.)

Kmart
Kmart is having double coupon days again! (Until November 1, they will double coupons up to and including $2. However, they do not accept internet printable coupons, just manufacturer (Sunday paper type) coupons, and only 75 per person/ per day. You can buy up to four of the same item and use 4 coupons, but no more than 4. )

What can you get for $.34 these days?

Would you like to see what you can get for $.34 at CVS these days??? Take a look!

I bought these things in 4 transactions. Sadly, when I went I only had a $1 ECB in my wallet from the previous week. But, it was a start!!!

I bought the pumpkin first for .99, used the $1 ECB I brought with me, and got .99 in ECB's back. (I also got $10 in ECB's from the CVS advisor survey I had done a week ago. I told you about becoming one in one of my older posts...you really should sign up.) Ok, so I used that $1ECB for the lightstick, and also got another $1 ECB back, which I turned around and used to buy the bag of candy (1.29) and got $1.29 back in ECB's. Then I bought the four deodorants (I had four coupons $1/1) and the L'Oreal wipes (my fav brand) and got the cleanser for free. (I also used my $3/2 L'Oreal coupon.) I bought the Powerade in that same transaction, too ($1.69 and no coupons). I used my $10 ECB, my $8 in coupons and the total came to .04!!! That was so fun!!!

Couponing advice

Here are some of the things people commented on during the contest - I felt they were all wise comments! Thank you everyone! Keep checking back for my next contest!

Best couponing advice - when I was just starting out couponing, I would only clip coupons for items I "preferred". Then I watched the couponmom.com video and she mentioned that we shouldn't be BRAND LOYAL because you never know which item will end up free when combined with a sale!

"Always check for coupons at the entrance of every store."

"Check the grocery stores in your area to see if they offer double or triple coupon days."

"Save every coupon--you never know what could end up making you money! I made $18.51 on Glade items that I never would've purchased otherwise."

"Don't use a coupon just cause it is about to expire. Another one will come around and only use it with a sale or good deal."

"If you don't need the product, unless the coupon is for a free item, you are not saving any money." (I especially liked that one!)

Winners of the CVS Coupon contest!

What fun - I really enjoyed hearing the comments everyone left either on here or by email! Thank you all for participating! Two winners have been chosen by random.org, and I am notifying them by email as well as posting them here:

Caprice and Monica

Congratulations!

The contest ends on October 8th at 9:00pm! If you haven't already entered, you may want to do that soon!

Kmart double coupon days

I have gotten several emails and friends advising me of Kmart doubling coupons for a short time.
Merrilee said: "Just FYI, from now until Oct 5, Kmart is having double coupon days where they will double any coupon up to $2 in value. Nestle bagged halloween candy is on sale 2 bags for $4. I used my $1 off coupon, which doubled to $2 and since I had 2 coupons, I got 2 bags for FREE! Yippee! Also, there is a coupon for $1 off Kellogg's Smart Start Strawberry Oat Bites cereal. I used that at Kmart, which doubled to $2 off. The cereal was originally $3.99. I paid $1.99 out of pocket (using the coupon) and will fill out the rebate form at http://www.smartstart.com/swf/Mail-In_Rebate_Offer.pdf for a free box. Does this mean I just made $2.00??? :)
Thanks, Merrilee!

Some money saving advice for prescriptions

In the mail today, along with my free Kashi cookie (which, btw, I didn't care for - yuck), I got a letter from my insurance company. They were advising us as to how to save some money at the drug store. They suggested that when we ask the doctor for a prescripton refill, to see if he would be willing to make the dosage larger. For example, if a prescription we take is 10 milligrams, to ask if he would be willing to double it to 20 milligrams (the same amount of pills - say a one month supply), and once that prescription is filled, to simply cut the pill in half. Voila! 2 months worth of prescription for 1 month's price at the drug store. Although I was skeptical, they also sent a letter, saying this would be paid for, and was acceptable to them as an insurance company, and that we could take that with us to the doctor and pharmacy. Interesting! So, before you run off to CVS to do this, check with your insurance carrier. (As a note - the insurance campany that sent us this letter is from Anthem Blue Cross.)

Here is a good letter to keep with you in your coupon organizer, in case such a thing should happen to you. (I have been fairly lucky so far, and have had very few run-ins with clerks to date, however, I am keeping a copy of this one, just in case. You never know.)

$3 off $15 CVS coupon contest

In hopes of boosting visitors to my blog, I have started a contest. My First!!! I have several copies of the Richmond Parents Magazine with the CVS $3 off $15 coupon in it (expires 12/30/08 and can be used at any CVS. This coupon is not valid unless it is from the Richmond Parents Magazine, as no internet copies/ reproductions are accepted.) I will pick names at random and will pick not one, but two winners for this contest, and send each winner two copies of the coupon. If you would like to take part especially if you do not live in an area where this coupon is readily available, you may want to enter. All you need to do is comment on my blog telling me the best couponing/ savings advice you ever received. I will notify the winners on 10/08/08 by email, so leave me your email address. Good luck!
