Just getting started in couponing. I have a CVS a few blocks from home, other than that i have to travel 1/2 hour or more to get to Kroger, Aldi, Walmart, and Walgreens.

At CVS I got Huggies diapers for free. They were on sale for $10.00, I had a coupong and $5 ECB. The cashier was suprised!

I got 2 $10/$20 coupons for the opening of a new CVS and I have been wanting to jump into CVS since they took over Longs in my area. (always read about the great deals people were getting but never had any stores here before.)

So, yesterday I got:

Large size Pantene conditioner $4.99
2 Johnson and Johnson travel kits $1.98
Blink dry eye $7.99
4 candy bars $2.67
Paintbrushes $.39
Milk $2.79

Total OOP was 4.54 (I could have done a little better if I had gotten fewer fillers but that's what I get for bringing DD with me)

I got back $15 ECB! A nice start, I think, to my ECB bank, even though there were not really many great deals to be had, with the exception of the Blink (free after ECB and a $3 off coupon). I was also lucky to receive a $2 free ECB for no apparent reason.

When I checked out and the register spit out about 4 feet in ECB's I was so happy! It was like I hit the jackpot! The cashier seemed impressed too!

i went to Rite aid today and got colgate total advance 4 oz for free after single check rebate, and opcon A for $7.00+ ( $3.00 rite aid q's and $1.00 manu q's). It is not a really really good deal but i needed it and so i am glad i saved $4.00 on opcon A.
btw, i am new to this site, just want to say HI to everyone.
.. i have 2 coupons for BOGO NGS, and a $7.00 off on a 12 oz. infant formula (total save $39.00) valid only at Shoppers. exp. on 9/08/09. I posted under Shoppers but not sure if i am allowed doing so..anyway, anyone wants to trade for them??

Yesterday I spent $70 on $140 worth of groceries at Publix...I know it sounds like a lot out of pocket, but I reached my goal of spending 50 cents on the dollar. But my big victory came today when I spent $.18 on 2 pints of Starbucks ice cream and 4 bottles of Shout stain remover at Publix. I was so excited that I almost cried!

I decided when I started this couponing that I would purchase 2 or 3 stockpile items each week to build a good stockpile. Yesterday I went to Kroger and purchased $72.00 worth of items, and my OOP was.............

$23.00

My two stockpile items purchased were Toaster Strudels which I paid around $1.10 for each with my IP, and MQ's. (regular price $2.29 each)

and Grands biscuts which I paid $.25 each. I used MQ's and IP for both items.

I also bought 2 boxes of Kashi cereal for $.75 per box, Totino's Pizzas for $.80 each, and 24 roll pack of Charmin toilet paper for $3.48

It was a GOOD day!

I am already planning my grocery trip this week. Stockpile items for next week will be, Purex Laundry detergent, Purex softener, Reeses Peanut butter cups, and Minute Maid Lemonade. My stockpile will be increasing each week.

Just started on this websight. I love it. I have been a couponer for awhile but have really gotten serious since I am marrying a man with 5 children and I have 3. Money will need to go a bit further. I went to Target this weekend and printed up a bunch of the target $1/1 box of any general mills cereal. I matched it with my $1/1 general mills printed q from the web. That made all of my cereal anywhere from $.34 to $.89 a box. I stocked up and bought about 25 boxes. I used the target store q for poptarts $1/1 and matched it with my printed $.75/1 q. This was making the poptarts $.24 a piece. If you sign up on the poptart websight you can receive in the mail a coupon for a free box of the new blueberry muffin poptarts and it also gives you another coupon for $1 off any box. I also used my ss q from the paper for b1g1f kids listerine and they let me double it with the other $2 off each. I have 4 coupons and got all of it for free. I spent a total of $133 and saved $143. It was a good day!!
