There should be up to 5 inserts in this Sunday’s newspapers 5/01/11: (2) SmartSource Insert (1) Procter and Gamble and (1) RedPlum Insert. There is a BONUS Pepsico insert with awesome coupons that is regional - I hope a lot of you get that one too! If you head over to our Coupon Database and Click on the Drop Down Box that says "Source Date" you will see that you can check out the 5/01/11 mfg. coupon. Please remember that occasionally some of us don't receive the same coupons because they make them regional.

Paid $9.18 total total would have been over $60.00!!!! Here's a break down of how I did this... Rite-Aid last week had a BOGO sale for Purex Crystals (works great for baby clothes and towels and smells great for days!) Regular price is $5.99 each, last week they were on a BOGO sale buy one get one free. So that makes them technically $3.00 a bottle. I also had $2.00 off coupons which I was able to use on each one (yes, even the free ones). Final price 1.00 a bottle + tax. Then I also used a $3.00 off a $15.00 purchase coupon (from taking the survey on my last receipt) Grand Total for 10 $9.18!!!!!!!!!!

Tons of free goodies on your b-day!

The Sunday before last (Easter Sunday no inserts) you might have noticed the $3.00 off coupons for Womens and Men's body wash. Wal-mart has these for.....drum roll please, $3.00 each. FREE body wash just paid .25 each for tax. Time to stock up!!! When the Sunday paper has high dollar coupons like this it pays to get more than one I like to get 5. Also, ask your friends and neighbors if they use their inserts...it's crazy how many people just toss them. I used to before I started couponing because I didn't know how much you really can save using coupons.

Awesome deal @ Rite Aid this Week! 4/17-4/23/11 I've been waiting for a sale on these...oh, and a fully stocked shelf. lol Target has been out of these for a while. Sale @ Rite Aid BOGO FREE They were $5.99 each (kinda disappointed that the regular price was that high some stores like Target have it for $4.99 would have been free if that was the case...but here's great news! Target will price match if you bring in the ad)!!! Ok, anyhoo, I had $2 off coupons which I was able to use on every bottle. Yes, you can do that usually on a BOGO sale (check and print out stores coupon policy to bring with you in case there's any confusion)! I ended up paying $1 each plus tax! Not bad! I bought 6 so the total would have been $36ish plus tax. I paid a little over $5...plus I had a 3 off coupon for doing a store survey. Paid less than the price of one bottle. BTW this fabric softener works fabulous and smells great!

This morning 4/17/11 I hit the BOGO sale @ Rite Aid. Purex Crystals regular price $5.99 Each $46.93 total for (7) Paid $11.63!!!!!!! Here's a break down of how I did this.
