What I never knew about coupons!

I am just having a blast getting so many deals and freebies with coupons and I thought I would share a few things that I never knew about coupons.

• There are 2 types of coupons: Manufacturer's coupons and Store coupons. You can use both types of coupons on the same item for a combined savings. Example - You can use a Walgreen's coupon and a coupon out of the Sunday paper on one item. If you have a tube of toothpaste that cost $2.50 and you have a Walgreen's coupon for $1.50 off and you have a manufacturer's coupon for $1.00 off you get the toothpaste for free.
• Use multiple like coupons. If the store is having a sale that says buy 5 boxes of cereal for $5.00 you can use 5 coupons and save big. This week Vons was having a sale and they had 5 boxes of cereal on sale for $.99 each when you buy 5. I had five $1.00 off coupons so I got all five boxes of cereal for free. I did not know you could use like coupons in one transaction. I always thought you were limited to one. It is one manufacturer's coupon per item not per transaction.
• Target and Walmart take coupons. Not only does Target take coupons but they have online printable store coupons to use with your manufactures coupons.
• Buy Multiple copies of the paper. I have found the best way to take advantage of all the great deals out there is to have multiple copies of my coupons. I get the Bulldog early Sunday edition at Walmart on Saturdays for $1.00 and I usually buy 3 copies and I have one copy delivered to my house when I know there are coupons in the paper. a site called becentsable.com has a list of when the paper will have coupons. You can find it here. This is a great site to start finding deals.
• You can usually print 2 copies of each coupon you find online. When you find a coupon you like make sure you hit the back button and print it again. Most of the time you can print it twice. if the back button doesn't work just go back into the site and start over. It is worth it.

Well these are a few of the things I didn't know until a few weeks ago. A lot of you probably already know all this but just in case I don't want anyone to miss out.

What a deal

Well today did not go as I had planned it in my head this morning. (I think I dream about coupons and if the stores are really going to let me use them). I could not get the diapers at Walgreen's because Tanner is a little too big for that brand of Diaper but it is a steal for anyone with a baby in Newborn - Size 2 Huggies. Oh Well, then I get to the cash register and the cashier will not let me purchase more then one of each product which is crazy but I didn't make a fuss because that is the closest Walgreen's.

So I called my mom and we headed out to the Walgreen's on Navajo Rd. We went right up and had no problem at all getting all our loot. Yea for Mom. She is a life savor. Then I stopped off at Target and this is what I got today:

Here is what we got:

(4) 184 count Huggies wipes. Reg Price-$5.99 each/My Price $.99

(1) 64 count Huggies wipes in the plastic container. Reg Price-$3.96 each/My Price Free

(5) Garnier Fructis hair styling products. Reg Price-$2.99 each/My Price Free

(3) Garnier Fructis conditioners Reg Price-$2.99 each/My Price Free, 2 were $.99 oops

(4) Purrell hand sanitizers Reg Price-$.99 each/My Price Free

(2) Glade motion sense and spray Reg Price-$7.99 each/My Price Free

(4) Flavored coffee mate creamers Reg Price-$2.49 each/My Price $2.00

(1) Venus Breeze razor Reg Price-$7.44 each/My Price $2.44

All this together, I spent $13.00, it should have been $11.00 but the first Walgreen's mad me so mad that I forgot to use two of my coupons. Darn! But what a deal.

Anyone else out there finding good deals? Please let me know.

Time Change

Don't forget to set your clocks ahead.
Try to have a great day on 1 less hour of sleep.

Great deals at Walgreen's

There are some really great deals at Walgreen's starting tomorrow. They have a special on Huggies Diapers where you can get them Free, Garnier Fructis shampoo and conditioner Free and many more great deals too.

You can find all you need to know on http://www.dealseekingmom.com/category/walgreens-weekly-deals/.

This is a great site that is super easy to understand and tells you where you can find the coupons. i.e. print them online, which Sunday paper they are in or if they are in the Walgreen's EverSavor book and how to use them to maximize your savings.

You could save a ton of money in just a few minutes. Just don't get to Walgreen's before me I don't want them to run out of stock. LOL!

Good luck and happy shopping!

I hate SPAM!

I wanted to unsubscribe to an email that I had received today so I opened the mail and clicked on the unsubscribe button and told them I don't want to receive any emails from them anymore. They responded to that request with this message.
"Your request to unsubscribe from the this mailing list has been received and will be processed shortly.

Hello people I don't want anymore email from you.

I just thought that was funny.

Story time at El Cajon Library

We are off to story time at the El Cajon Library. They do it every Wed morning. 9:45 for Toddler and I believe 10:30 for Preschool age. Since I have my neighbor Sam who is 5 with me during the week we will be going to both. They both really enjoy it. Maybe I will see one of you there one of these weeks. Hope you are all having a great week. Hope to see you soon.
