Holiday stock-up deals
Now that November has started, a new season of stock-up items has arrived! Now is the time to stock up on holiday baking and cooking items. For example, Kroger has a sale on Campbell’s condensed soups (ie cream of mushroom, cream of chicken, etc) this week, which, when combined with coupons, makes them $.29 per [...]
Friday Finals: Burning out!
I’ve been feeling pretty burnt-out lately with coupons. I think it’s mostly that I have so much else going on right now, and I’m just not feeling it! I don’t think I’ve been to a drugstore in about a month actually, and it’s not because of a lack of deals, because they’ve had some great [...]
Looking for alternate deals
Sunday afternoon, I sat at the computer for a few minutes of quiet surfing. It’s something that I enjoy doing when everyone is asleep and everyone was, indeed, asleep! It WAS Sunday afternoon after all! To my surprise, I saw a post about a HOT deal on diapers at Babies R Us that was only [...]

Publix trip 08/24 and coupon ettiquite

[...]
Abbreviations: a new language!
When you’re getting your feet wet with couponing, you’ll see that the couponing world uses a LOT of abbreviations! Some are common sense, and some, even I have to pause for a second to remember what it means! Clarise asked me last week about abbreviations and I promised her that I’d write a post listing [...]
