A few things....

2011-07-28T07:44:00.001-07:00

I am not an Extreme Couponer. I do not have room or the time to be one.

I do not have a stock pile, I just stock up!

I only buy things that will get used. If not by my household then family or friends. Unless....they are FREE, MONEYMAKERS or the coupon/sale is about to expire and the deal is way to good to pass up. I try (keyword being try) not to buy toothbrushes, toothpaste, razors or dog treats UNLESS they are FREE or MONEYMAKERS. Rodie has enough treats to last atleast 6 months!!!

These toothbrushes were Free!

The toothpaste was a $.50 Moneymaker, that is the only reason why I bought 6.
Crest Toothpaste 10/$10 @ Kroger
Used (6) $.75off coupons
Total $1.50
Recieved $2 Catalina
$.50 Moneymaker

My definition of a stockpile is having rows of shelves in your garage or in a spare bedroom. I do not have any of this. I will admit that I do have stuff scattered everywhere and I even told Justin last night that I really needed to get organized. Right now my kitchen table looks like someone threw up school supplies all over it, which BTW I am completely finished buying. So, maybe this weekend I will organize some things that way I can post my so called stockpile.

Oh, and I usually never go crazy buying multiples of things, like musturd (which only cost me $.10 each), but I needed some examples for my COUPON,CASH AND COCKTAIL PARTY THURSDAY

Broken Rules but only cost me $4

2011-06-16T19:40:00.000-07:00

So today I broke a few of my rules that I have for couponing.

1. Never shop without binder
2. Never shop without a plan
3. Never buy anything you do not need
4. Never take kids
5. Never shop JUST to use a coupon

So, it all started when I found this coupon in the Star Telegram today at lunch

Then I found this

So after work I picked up Riley and we headed to CVS without BINDER, without a PLAN, with RILEY, and honestly just to use the CVS coupon.
Thankfully,I had one of the binders that I did not sale at my class so I had some coupons and I bribed Riley with a snickers so this is what happened....

Gatorade .88

Snickers (3) 1.19
1.00 if you bought 3 or more

Arnold Palmer 1.49

Soft Scrub 2/$5
used B1G1 from Sundays paper

Father's Day Card 2.79
Father's Day Card 2.99

Zyrtec (2) 11.98
used (2) 5.00 coupons

Used $5 off $20 Purchase

Total: 10.75 Saved 24.96
Got back $5.99 in extra bucks

Total: $4.76

I only wanted to spend right around $20 but with Riley I ended up buying more..see never take kids!!!!! I really did not need the Zyrtec but for this kind of a deal I could not pass it up.

Targets NEW Coupon Policy!!!!

2011-06-15T07:38:00.000-07:00

Target’s new coupon acceptance policy is now more specific and clarifies several points. There is now a section on Mobile Coupons, BOGO promotions and BOGO coupons.
They still state that you can stack one manufacturer coupon + one Target store coupon on an item and that a coupon amount can be reduced to match the price of an item. If you shop at Target, definitely print this policy to keep in your binder! And to find out more about Target’s Price Matching policy, check it out here.

Target Stores Coupon Policy
Coupons are a great way to save even more when shopping with us, and it’s easy to use them at our stores. When accepting coupons, we follow the guidelines below.
Manufacturer and Target Coupons:
Target accepts one Manufacturer Coupon and one Target Coupon for the same item (unless prohibited by either coupon).
Item purchased must match the coupon description (brand, size, quantity, color, flavor, etc.).
Coupon amount may be reduced if it exceeds the value of the item after other discounts or coupons are applied.
We can’t give cash back if the face value of a coupon is greater than the purchase value of the item.
All valid coupons should be presented to the cashier during checkout.
All applicable sales taxes are paid by the guest at the full value of the item.
These guidelines apply to all coupons accepted at Target (Color Checkout Coupons, Internet Coupons, Mobile Coupons, Mailed Coupons, Coupons from Newspapers and Magazines, etc.).
Internet (Print-at-Home) Coupons:
We gladly accept valid internet coupons that contain a clear and scannable bar code.
We do not accept internet coupons for free items with no purchase requirements.
Mobile Coupons:
Guests can receive Target Mobile Coupons by signing up for Text Alerts at Target.com/mobile or by texting COUPONS to 827438 (TARGET).
Message and data rates may apply. See site for full details.
To redeem, simply show your coupon barcode to the cashier. With one simple scan, all applicable coupons are applied.
Buy One Get One Free Coupons (BOGO):
BOGO coupons cannot be combined (i.e. you cannot use two BOGO coupons on two items and get both for free). Unless stated otherwise on the coupon, the use of one Buy One Get One Free coupon requires that two of the valid items are presented at checkout of which one item will be charged to the guest and the 2nd item will be discounted by its full retail price.
A second cents-off coupon of the same type cannot be redeemed towards the purchase price of the first item.
If a Target BOGO coupon is used, one additional manufacturer coupon maybe used on the first item.
If a Manufacturer BOGO coupon is used, one additional Target coupon may be used on the first item.
Exclusions:
Coupons are void if copied, scanned, transferred, purchased, sold, prohibited by law, or appear altered in any way.
We can’t accept coupons from other retailers, or coupons for products not carried in our stores.
Some items may not be available at all stores.
We do not accept expired coupons.

Thanks, KCL
