So, I woke up one day last week with WAY too many gray hairs. I needed to do something about that QUICK. I just so happened that I found some clearance hair color at Walgreens in a color I LOVED. And it was just $2! Even without a coupon with me, that was a great …

I don’t go to Walmart often. But occasionally there are enough deals at one time to justify a trip and 45 minutes in a checkout line. If I ever have a stroke it will be in the Walmart checkout line. Anyway, here is how I did: Scotch Brite Wipes $2.00 each BOGO on Scotch-Brite Botanical Disinfecting Wipes =$2.00 for …

Since I was sick from Christmas Eve to New Years, I didn’t really hit the Christmas Clearance sales like I normally do. I just happened upon a section of CVS today that still had some clearance Christmas stuff that included toys! I didn’t really need any “Christmas” stuff but I didn’t even think about the …

When it was first announced that Dollar Tree would be accepting coupons, I saw a comment on Dollar Tree’s Facebook page by a fan who said, “Why would you want to use coupons at Dollar Tree? Everything’s just $1.00!” I don’t know if that person just didn’t think their comment through or if they are …

Here’s my contribution to the church food pantry this week. I paid $3.00 for these 10 jars of baby food. I bought them on sale, with a coupon and while they were a bonus fuelperk item at Winn-Dixie. Which means I earned 5c per gallon back on my purchase. I used my fuelperks the next …

Money is tight for everyone, that’s why we coupon. But as couponers, we have the ability to help others with very little. Every week, I try to spend $3-$5 on items to donate to my church food pantry. This is what I got this week: Mott’s Applesauce for $1.45 after sale and coupon Jif PB to Go for …
