Back on Track!

Now that the holidays are over it's time to get back on track!
Our giveaway has been extended until January 19th!

Also, my new years resolution is to organize my life.
So I will be posting organization tips throughout the year as well.

Here are a few couponing trips of mine from during the holiday season:

Week of 12/11

8- Sally Hansen Salon Effects

2- Wet and Wild lip glosses

Grand total: 17.50

Week of 12/31

Bought 9 bottles of brand name shampoo plus a $2 pack of mints (for my mom :) ).

Grand total: $10

Saved:at least $42 estimated

Transaction 1 of week of 1/8

2- Tide 32 load bottles

1- medium sized Downy bottle

$.09 for Campbells Chicken Noodle Soup!

This week at Meijer:
Buy 5 Campbells Chicken Noodle Soup or Tomato Soup for $0.59 each
Use 1 $1.00/5 coupon = (-$1.00)
Pay $1.95, get a $1.50 catalina.
Final: $0.45 for 5 or $.09 each!

You can do multiple transactions if you can print multiple coupons. I don't advise rolling the catalina since another might not print.

These soups are great to stock up on for the season and to use for food pantry donations.

One Stop for Black Friday Deals! Walmart is pricematching!

Just released on Wal Mart's website, they are planning on price matching any other store's printed Black Friday ad for exact items!
The only catch is if a store doesn't start a deal until 4am or etc, Wal Mart can not price match until 4am for that store.
Other than that, you can get all your great bf deals in one stop!
Just be sure to print off the article on Wal Mart's website found at http://walmartstores.com/pressroom/news/10743.aspx just so there isn't any confused cashiers!
Be sure to tell all your friends by sending them a link to this blog post!
