Tip of the Day #6

6/30/12

Buy One Get One deals are different at drugstores than grocery stores.  For example, at CVS if there is a BOGO deal, it means when you buy both you are actually getting one product for free.  At Bi-Lo, however BOGO deals mean the item is half off...so you don't have to buy both items to get the sale!!  If you only need one... get one!  I did this today...there was such a great bunch of deals I couldn't pass up the Mayo that I have jars of at home...$2.79 for one (BOGO deal)...I had a $1.50 catalina that printed last week and a $0.50 Q from Food Lion Savings Booklet...so brand name, big jar for $0.79!!!...if I had had more coupons I would have bought two!

Bi-Lo Trip 6/29/12 $41.80..saved $76.01!

Here is my trip this evening...got a few more things for our trip and a few things for next week when I am exhausted and don't wanna shop! lol...Some great deals to be had at Bi-Lo this week!  The Powerade wasn't on my list, but it was $0.69 each...for a 32 oz.!  Got milk on clearance..close to date for $1.99!  Some of the prices were lower than advertised at my store so check back to the match-ups it has been updated!

Spent $41.80 OOP...Saved $76.01!  YaY!  


Tip of the Day #5


6/29/12
Have the kids ever tried to throw things in the cart or you haven't eaten supper and you want those Cheez-its that are over priced this week?  Yeah...me too!  This is a BIG ONE!  Always take cash when you go to the grocery store.  That way you have a set budget and won't over spend!  The kids may try to throw things in the cart and those Cheez-its are always calling my name, but unless they deserve a reward or just maybe I have a little extra money...I don't buy anything I haven't planned for!!  If you buy things that aren't on sale you are not saving and more than likely you don't need it if it's not on the list!  Trust me...Cheez-its are not a good diet plan!

My favorite cash!!
My honey's favorite Cash!

Tip of the Day #4

6/28/12


Clipping all of my coupons out every week, in my opinion, is such a waste of time AND it seems I never use all of the coupons I clip, even though I think I might use this or that.....Try keeping your inserts all together in an accordion file.  Label on the front with date and then whenever you see my match-ups, just look for the insert and date.  Then, go to that file and clip the coupons you need!!  Saves loads of time and there is a lot less mess... which for me, as a mom, the less mess I have to clean, the better! Try this method and let me know what you think! You can also buy the handheld one for organizing your coupons while you shop!

P.S. - I recommend taking file folder to store just in case.....

Tip of the Day #3

6/27/12

When shopping at Bi-Lo, be sure to take your reusable bags!  They take $0.05 off your total for every bag you use!  So even more ways to save!  There are other stores that do this, so be sure to ask!

Tip of the Day #2



When shopping for groceries just buy what's on sale!  Buy One Get One deals are usually really great and there are other sales too!  You don't have to have coupons to save money...you just have to shop sensibly and buy ONLY what's on sale...that is the KEY!  Look closely at the tags..if it says ...Save $0.10!!...that's not really a sale!

When you begin you will have to fill your pantry, but after that just make a trip each week to the grocery store and ...once again...buy ONLY what's on sale and buy enough to last several weeks...until it goes on sale again!  Then if you want to add coupons you can..they just save a little extra!

All You Magazine...$0.83 an issue!




Today only, you can get All You magazine (a Walmart magazine that has tons of coupons) for $0.83 an issue!  Just go through Shop at Home to score 50% WILD cash back!   Then link to magazines.com.  Your 50% savings will go into your Shop at Home account and they will send you a check when the balance reaches $20!  This is a great deal!  You will end up with 12 mags full of coupons for all sorts of thing for ONLY $9.98!

    Wednesday, June 20, 2012

    Kmart Trip 6/20/12.....$2.71 OOP!!!


    Did great today at Kmart...didn't split up transactions at all, just put them all together so 5 of my coupons would double.  Also didn't get everything I had intended because my local paper had like 4 coupons in the RedPlum this week!!! Really!?!  So see picture for what I did get.  I would have only paid $1.71 tax and all but she asked if I wanted to donate to March of Dimes and I just can't turn that down!

    $0.30 + tax and....Paid $2.71....literally out of my change purse!  This is nearly $50 worth!


    Also be sure you are scanning your Shop Your Way Rewards card at the beginning of the transaction (it will not work correctly if you don't!)  and also check your rewards points online and be sure you are getting base points and bonus points ( I just realized that I was only getting base points and changed it!!!!) Go here to check it out!)


    6/22/12
    My momma who coupons along with me most of the time....went today and took advantage of the Kmart Clearance deals!!



    She paid $9.xx for all of this!!  She got two bottles of SoftScrub, 50 oz of detergent, Big refill bottle of Softsoap, Purex Crystals and the rest is in view....GO MOMMA!



    CVS 6/20/12!!! Everything for $15.83!

    So here is my shopping trip at CVS.  I did look around a little for the clearance deals and picked up the CVS Flushable Wipes Bonus pack (100 wipes) for $1.74 and I also got a $4 off any Mission Sun care item and a 2/$1 Pepsi 2L when you spend $10 at the Coupon Center (red box thingy)!  I opened the Sweet Vanilla Mission Lip Balm and it is pretty sweet...especially since it was FREE!  Priced at $3.99 and after $4 Q....FREE!  Also didn't have the Bounty 3 count towels so I just got batteries instead...with $20 worth of coupons inside!  I would have looked around more, but I had two sleepy, hot kids so I called it quits!

    Spent $28.83 + tax...got back $13.00 in ECBs!...so $15.83 + tax!!

    Kmart 6/16/12!!!! Spent $38.42 OOP...still have $30 to spend next week!

    Kmart!!!!   See earlier Kmart post for details.....

    I bought a few extra things that I needed like Hershey's syrup for the boy and Diet Pepsi products for me that were $1.00 so my total was a bit higher than I had anticipated...I also ended up changing my transactions up a little because there were no more paper towels!  But it still worked out and my store is doing the Dove promo!  It is actually valid 5/29/12 through 7/9/12,  so this week was probably the best time to take advantage with the double dip!!

    $38.32 tax included...$30 for next week!!

    Bi-Lo Trip 6/16/12...$57.68 + tax SAVED $57.51!

    So here are the things I bought.....See earlier post for price and coupons details!


    Total: $57.68 +tax.... SAVED $57.51!


    I added the raisins...my baby girl loves raisins and we go through them fast!  I also received $0.20 worth of Fuel Perks to use at the Shell Station!  That means I can swipe my Bi-Lo Bonus Card at the pump and get $0.20 off per gallon up to 20 gallons!  So if I buy 20 gallons I will save another $4.00! Yay!
