Neat article about couponing

Click here to read an article from the Chicago Tribune about extreme couponing. This could become a new sport in the Olympics!

The best I've done so far is to save 30% off my grocery bill. But, B & I don't like to eat a lot of the foods that you usually see coupons for. We like organic and natural foods. Those coupons are much harder to find. However, I do a great job at the drug stores with the help of all my online couponing blogs that I use to find all the deals. I usually walk out of the drug store without spending a dime, or with very little OOP (out of pocket). : )

Thanks, Jessa, for the article!

My Rite Aid FREEBIES!

This is a photo of all the freebies that I got at Rite Aid this week! Not bad, eh? I could have gotten a few more items, but I don't use disposable razors or regular light bulbs. I realize that Indiana doesn't have Rite Aid, or at least not where I'm from. But, sometimes Walgreen's has a great rebate program, too. In fact, I'll take a photo of the last Walgreen's shopping trip I took and post it later.

The two One Touch monitors you can see in the back were free because I had two "up to $20 off" coupons from the Sunday paper. The monitors sold for $19.99. I will donate them to a local healthcare assistance center.

I also plan on donating the Nature's Cure acne solution and Charles Worthington shampoo (for color-treated hair) to a local homeless shelter.

The remainder of the items, B & I can use at home. Let me know if you have any fun shopping moments! My next few posts I plan on answering some questions about coupon websites, and whether I think it's less expensive to use coupons or buy the store's generic products. You may be surprised! : )

After a wonderful wedding and a few weeks of needed "rest," I am back to scouring the couponing websites. I hope to be back in full swing within the next few days. The next few posts are a few deals that I've found recently. Remember, if you have any questions or comments, please email me or leave a comment on this site.
