For those that know me know that I am currently attending school and school and couponing are difficult to do at the same time. I am finding myself neglecting my homework to check out where the next big deal is. So I have a plan. 1 hour of homework FIRST then I can spend time checking out the deals. Thank goodness I have next week until the 28th off then I start my next class. Did I mention that after this class is over, I will have my associates degree.... GO ME.... I am working on a deal at Target. For those that picked up the BOGO coupon for Suave lotion, you can stack that with the 75 cents off 1 Target coupon and a mfr coupon. Also, there are Caress body wash mfr coupons for 75 cents off and a Target coupon for a $1 off.
Good Luck and Happy Coupon,

A little humor from our June 14th. Bi-Lo trip
Mel and I are standing in isle four of the store.. Mel is a little bit ahead of me looking at mustard.. When all of a sudden I hear her yell… “MONEY MAKERRRR!”… when I look over at her she is holding up this bottle of mustard as if it was a shinny golden trophy for crossing first through a race finish line.. ! Funny thing is it didn’t even phase me that she had yelled this out pretty loud and standing there holding up that bottle of mustard, I was excited too!… at that moment I realized we both had crossed over into our own personal coupon insanity. !!!!!
It feels great to be the kind of crazy that will not put you in a straight jacket.. Well it might if someone had tried to grabbed those 2 bottles of trophy mustards from her.. There might have been a Jerry Springer fight in isle four!
Oh how I love our new money making hobby!

Thank you BI-LO for your type-O…
Thank you BI-LO for your type-O…
What a fun and amazing time Mel and I had tonight saving money….
BI-Lo made a type-o and had to honor their mistake of having to double coupons up to .99 cents…
Mel happened to catch this mistake.. (great eye Mel)… and boy did we cash in!
My Couponing tonight… $186.00 Worth of groceries, spent $65.95 and SAVED $$$$$$ 120.78 !!!
Watch those papers!… have your coupons ready!… and watch how people look at you pushing your buggy around with 28 rice/pasta, 2 instant potatoes, 2-12pk Diet cheerwine, 1 gallon tea, 24 large Ragu pasta sauce, 2 boxes cereal, 6 banquet meals, 4 Hormel meals, 2 pkgs ballpark hotdogs, 1 butterball smoked sausage, 2-Tabasco Sause,Franks Chili Sauce…
But most of all pay attention to the woman or man behind you that I am sure was huffing and puffing under their breath because they are behind not one but TWO coupon freaks.. (yes we used the same register..) .. But glance over and look at their face when they see what you had to pay at the end.. … aahhh its priceless! You walk out of that store with a huge smile and a since of satisfaction that WE did not pay full price for anything!!!!
I got 75 items and paid what???.. .88 cents per item if you average it out..??!
IT IS A GREAT RUSH!

Helping Others
Hello everyone its Tina… I am just now crawling out from underneath my stack of coupons to blog.
I use to be into coupons, and for some odd reason I stopped.. So now I am back in the game. I must say it helps having my sidekick Mel helping and using coupons as well.
It is a lot easier having two women scheming the best deals!!!
I think one of the number one key things you should utilize for saving the most money is communication!
If you are some where and you see an item on sale..let someone know!
Couponing should not only be about helping your family save money, it should also be about helping others save money.
If you see that great item… call someone, text them, email them etc…. some how get the word out!
If you don’t use those coupons give them away! Find someone that can use them!
Couponing should include these 3 elements
1: Saving Money
2: Helping others
3: Having fun
Happy Couponing

Great Deals from CVS
Getting great deals at CVS, although frustrating, can be done. Tina and I racked up on 2 Oral B pulsar toothbrushes, 2 Crest ProHealth mouthwash, 2 Colgate Max toothpaste, 1 Ban deodorant, 2 John Frieda products, 3 Dawn dish washing liquid, and 1 headache medicine for under $5 out of pocket (OOP). We did this 4 separate times and the crazy thing is I did not pay attention to the toothbrushes I was stealing (at least that is what it felt like) and got almost all the same color. Lesson #1 pay attention to details of products even if you are getting them for free. Thank you Kayla at the Decatur Pike store for all your patience and understanding for us couponers.
