FREE CHIPS AND COMBOS AT RITE AID THIS WEEK
Ok, For all of you who love snacks!!!!!!!
It's a win-win week at Rite Aid!
Today I purchased
3 Lays Stax Chips- on sale for $1.00 each
4 Combos (these are the big bags..reg. price $2.99) on sale for $1.00
Total- $7.00
You will received a $1 UPR (up reward...which are coupons you can use on ANYTHING in the store) for each bag of chips or combos you buy!! This is an unadvertised deal!! But trust me...IT WORKS!!!!
I received $7 UPR----FREE
Make sure you sign up for a Rite Aid Rewards Card....it has tons of benefits and this is how you get the sale prices!!!
What I typically do at Rite Aid is take my uprewards and purchase items I really need!
But I always take my UPR and purchase items that are on sale with an UPR...that way...I keep rolling the UPR over and over again...(i hope that makes sense)
Have a blessed and saving week!!!!!

TGIF---EXTREME COUPONING TRIP--THIS IS HOW YOU GET PAID TO SHOP
I try to take 1-2 days/week to get my shopping done.
Thanks to Cindy @ http://www.livingrichwithcoupons.com/ for posting the Shoprite deals.
Well this week and next week, Shoprite is having their dollar days event! They have items on sale in each category. The deal is---purchase x amount of items in each category and you will receive $12 ($3 for each week in March) in store coupons/money (these are called catalinas and will print at the end of your order)! These store coupons can be used towards ANYTHING in stores!!!
Another thing to mention is this....A GREAT COUPONER STOCKS UP ON ITEMS...PRETTY MUCH HAVING A 3 MONTH SUPPLY OF ITEMS! THE KEY IS.....when an item goes on sale and the price is cheap or nearly free...you stock up on that item so you don't have to go back to the store for 3 months!! Sales usually happen every 3 months on a particular item!
So this is a great example of how I use coupons on meat/produce or items that do not have coupons available!
So after visiting Cindy's site and using her coupon matchups and making my own deals, I ordered the coupons I needed from ebay! I wanted to do some of the deals more than once since they were huge moneymakers. And trust me, my family (and my sisters) will eat everything on this table!!

WELCOME!!!
Welcome to my blog!!! I've tried blogging before and never went very far with it!
Since I've been couponing for a while now, I've decided to take another stab at it!
So many people continue to ask how I save so much money, and where I find my information.....so Here it is...Finally!
I have been doing this 8 months now and this has truly been a huge FINANCIAL blessing to my family.
Before couponing, we budgeted a certain amount for groceries/clothes/household items/gifts, and always went WAY over the budget! At the end of each month, we would literally start counting the days until my husband got paid again, becuase we would start "borrowing" from our savings account.
And then my friend Feona began to post on Facebook about her savings. It took me a few weeks to get the hang of it, and once I did..........JACKPOT!!
We began watching our savings increase and our house become filled with TONS of groceries/household items. Our grocery/household budget has decreased $350-400/month.
I realize how much a blessing couponing has been for me and I just want to share the blessing with YOU!
This has become more than just a hobby! This is now a way of life for me. I have learned that I must be a good steward over my money. I have seen so many changes in my spending habits and my goal is to be 100% DEBT FREE!
I owe my husband and children so many thank you's, because my husband tolerates me shopping and filling every cabinet and closet in this house.
My kids LOVE shopping with me and they think "couponing" is a game! I give my son fake coupons which he tries to give to the cashiers..LOL
But since so many of you ask about my deals, I will try to post all of my weekly deals and pictures, and will direct you to all of my favorite blogs.
So for now, ENJOY!

So for now, ENJOY!
HOW I MAKE MY DEALS
When I first started couponing, it took me a few months to find my favorite blogs for the stores I shop. After doing research, I learned that most of these sites are connected to one another.
So this is how I plan my shopping week.
Every Saturday, new deals are posted for each store. The bloggers WILL NOT tell you everything that's on sale for the week, but they will list the best deals! Just remember, if there is a coupon, then that item WILL go on sale! THe key is to be organized!! Do not purchase something that is NOT on sale with a coupon.
So I go thru each store's deals and see who has the best deals for the week! I then make a list of all the coupons I need, and make a list of any coupons I need to order.
I usually purchase 2 newspapers every Sunday and order any additional coupons I need. Yes, there are websites you can order coupons from. You just pay a handling fee and shipping! It is very convenient! And of course you can print coupons on the internet! JUST REMEMBER...DO NOT MAKE PHOTOCOPIES OF COUPONS!! THIS IS ILLEGAL!
So while making my list, I ask these questions.....
Do I need it?
If I don't need it, will it give me money back? Meaning, can I get it for free and will it give me store credit or store bucks that I can turn around and buy something I need?
Is it Free? and if its free its for ME!!!!LOL
I hope this gives you a better understanding of how I plan my shopping!
Remember, with anything, things take time! So, it takes time to learn this system. But your end result with be SO WORTH it!
Below are my favorite sites for ordering coupons!!!!
www.livingrichwithcoupons.com is my favorite site for Shoprite deals and some of the drugstores!
http://www.coupondede.com/ ----This is where I order my coupons
http://www.mycouponhunter.com/ ---I order coupons from this site too! (shipping is cheaper but she doesn't have as many coupons as coupondede)
http://www.ebay.com/ -------they have TONS of coupons but in a much larger quantities
So this is how I plan my shopping week.
