HOT Dr. Pepper Coupon: $0.60 off one 2 Litter Bottle or 12 ct Pack

Here's an awesome deal on 2 liter Dr. Pepper. You can get a coupon for .60 off (1) 2 liter or a 12ct. pack. If you want some free soda the best thing would be is to save it for triples and then you could get a free 2liter! They're regularly $1.79 at Harris Teeter. If you didn't want to save it, it would still be a fairly good deal anyway.

Make your own convenience foods

One of the best ways to quickly lower your grocery bill is to cut out convenience foods. But what about those days when you need quick and easy. Make your own ahead of time for the week or month. Make an extra batch of waffles or muffins and freeze them. Invest in lots of snack and sandwich bags or reusable containers for individual servings of fruits and veggies. Then cut up and divide for that weeks lunches. Cut big blocks of cheese into cubes or make your own trail mix. Don't waste money on individual bags of chips or cookies just divide a big bag into smaller bag servings and store in a large container until needed. Get the whole family involved by forming an assembly-line. Even dinner can be put together like your favorite Stouffer's meal. When needed just heat and eat. Look where convenience is costing you and find a creative way to duplicate it for less.

Free Deodorant at Walgreen's

This week at Walgreen's you can get free Sure deodorant. Use the 2/$3.00 coupon that was in sunday's sales add. Also use 2 of the $1.50 off sure for men or women manuf. coupon that was in the coupon insert. I paid .23 for 2! That was just tax!

Tuesday's Deals

I just got back from Harris Teeter. The last day of triple coupons. I went with a friend who is in the very beginning stages of couponing. I had fun helping her use the coupons she had to get stuff cheap.

I bought (3) 6oz tubes of crest toothpaste, 1 pack of the mystery gum, and a loaf of Nature's Pride Oven Classics Whole Wheat bread.

The bread was free on e-vic so I got it completely free!!

I got everything for $1.02!

The toothpaste was 2/$5.00 and I had (3) .75 coupons that tripled.The bread was free on e-vic so I got it completely free!! I had a coupon for the gum too, and after it tripled the gum was also free.

Decorate on the cheap

Here is how I find ways to decorate my house on the cheap and still stay in style.Make a list of the types of things you're looking for curtains, lampshades or whatever. Keep in mind the colors and patterns that suit your overall decor. Then start browsing your favorite consignment shops, retail stores or even wal-mart but always look in the clearance or damages first. Don't forget to search in seasonal areas too. Many items you will find can be used all year. The catch is don't go "looking" for the perfect item, let that item find you.
Here is a great pair of lampshades that found me. I was browsing a clearance aisle in wal-mart and there in a pile of unrelated items-blanket, lunch coolers and something I wasn't too sure what it was used for... I found them. Originally $14.97 but now only $1.50!!!
There is a down side to my method, it will take longer to find your items, but if you are not in a hurry or just redecorating this can save you tons of cash. Plus if you're like me the "hunt" is half the fun. Happy Hunting

How To Shop Rie Aid

Ok, here's the post that was promised on how to get the best deals at Rite Aid and pay the least amount possible.

Rite Aid has a video values program. By going on Rite Aid's website you can watch video clips about different products they sale. The videos are approx. 30 seconds- 2 min. each. After you watch a video all you have to do is enter the security code that's given. You can chose which videos you watch by category, brand, etc. Each video will give you a coupon for that product or similar product by that brand. Each video is worth 1-2 credits. When you watch enough videos and earn 20 credits you can print a $5 off $20 coupon. You can chose which coupons you want to print. They're stored in your account so you can go back later and print the ones you haven't previously printed.

The great thing about these coupons is that you can use them with manuf. coupons and in ad coupons. Therefore you can use up to 3 coupons on one item! Paired with sales this could give you some really cheap stuff! I used a video value coupon today with a manuf. coupon and got Johnson and Johnson Baby Lotion on clearance for .41! Don't forget to check the clearance racks.

Rite Aid has recently started a Welness Program. This is similar to CVS extra care program. You sign up for a card, have it scanned every time you make a purchase. You earn 1 point for every $ spent on non perscription purchases, 25 points on pharmancy. When you get so many points you get extra savings off everything you buy every day etc. They also send you printable coupons too.

Happy shopping at Rite Aid!

Tip Of The Day

Hi Everyone!

Here is your tip of the day!

Do you ever check the clearance shelves in the drug stores? Well, you should! You can use coupons on clearance items and get them even cheaper. I've gotten several things on clearance at Rite Aid and used several coupons on these items and saved quite a bit. It's not just at Rite Aid you can use coupons on clearance items anywhere! Don't just assume it's all junky stuff on clearance and walk right by! It's worth your time to stop and look.
