These days, the name of the game is trying to save MONEY! Who doesn't want to do that? The easiest way to save money is by couponing for the stuff you use everyday! Since I have been off work, I have learned to do pretty well with just that. A lot of my friends have asked my process and I want to do that with this blog. I hope you enjoy reading and learn LOTS!! Thanks for stoppin' by!

Awesome Couponing Day!

I ventured out with my 2 year old, Callie Jo, this afternoon to do some un-planned couponing and it worked out very nicely! Here is a break-down of my deals from Rite Aid!

4 bottles of Nivea body wash=
On sale for $3.99
Used 4 $3 coupons making each just .99!
BUT if you spent $15 on those body washes you got back $5!
So total spent $3.96 and got back $5 in Up+Rewards.

U by Kotex thin liner 18ct.
On sale for $1.69 with BOGO 50% off.
Made both $2.53
Used 2 $1/1 coupons making both just .53!

Bic Mark-It Permanant Marker "Color Collection" 8 ct.
On clearance for 50% off
Total= $2.49!

I also wanted to take advantage of the sales on cleaning products but unfortunatly my store was out of almost everything so I decided to try sale matching at Walmart for a spin! Here is a breakdown of that trip!

Bounty 8ct. Paper towels
On sale at RA for $6.49 (Normally over $12 at walmart!)

Scott Toilet Tissue 12ct. Extra Soft
Normally priced at $6.49 (Actually cheaper than the sale price at RA!!)
Used $1/1 Coupon printed from the video values site from Rite Aid (This was a manufacturers coupon)
Making it $5.49

Purex Fabric Softener Crystals
On sale for BOGO Free at RA.
I also was able to use a coupons.com coupon for $1/1 AND one from a flyer for $2/1 also.
They are normally $3.49 so I got both for $3.49
Minus my $3 in coupons
=.49 for both!! YAY!

Anyone else get some great deals this week?!? Post them below!!

Tips for Shopping at Rite Aid

If you are going to Rite Aid to shop any this week, make sure you check out the Video Values. If you "watch" these videos it will give you the option to print Rite Aid exclusive Coupons, sometimes even dollar off your order coupons!

As a tip, I usually do these while watching TV, I just mute the sound and wait for each to finish playing.

Also, match-up these Video Values with manufacturers coupons and sales for even bigger discounts!

For example:
Lysol Wipes (28-35 ct) – $2.50
Use the $1.50/1 Lysol Wipes coupon found here
Plus, use the $1/1 Lysol Item Rite Aid April Video Values coupon
Final cost FREE!

AWESOME!!
