Harris Teeter TRIPLES!!

Don't forget starting tomorrow Harris Teeter is Tripling coupons up to .99!! You can get LOTS of items for free or extremely cheap! I will post pics and details of my scores tomorrow eveing!

Sunday morning run to CVS

Oh how I love my CVS! Thery always have my items in stock and the ladies there know me and for the most part love to see my savings! Sometimes we have some issues but it happens. All I can recommend to everyone is KNOW YOU STORES COUPON POLICIES! Don't let them bully you...many cashiers feel that if you pay cents for all your items that you are 'stealing' from the store. Don't buy into that!!!! The stores get paid back for the coupons you use plus 8 cents! So really they are making money from you! Also, don't feel ashamed, most of the time they are jealous that you found the sales before they did! HeHe!!! Anyway...back to my CVS trip this morning!!!

Ask and you shall recieve!!!

Have you ever wondered where people get the really good coupons? For example: Free 'insert item," see below...




Well, I have found one of the answers!! Write the company. For example, last week I emailed Purex and explained to them that I wanted to try the 3-in-1 product and if they could please send me some coupons to offset the cost. Today in the mail not only did I get 3 coupons for the Purex 3-in-1, I also got coupons for their products!!!

So, just ask! What's the worse that can happen?? They either don't email you back or you get a 'no' or they actually send you something!

There is a format that I have found to be helpful when asking.

1.Dear Sir or Ma'am

2. give a compliment about product. In the 3-on-1 case, I explained I thought it was a great idea!

3.I always ask to be put on the mailing list to receive coupons,promotions, and free samples

4. Thank them again

5. close letter...don't forget to give you information(name,address, email, and phone number)

EXCITED!!!!

Over the past few months I have gone to many different blogger's pages to get updated on the newest sales,freebies and other money saving opportunities. After watching them and having to go to several sites to find the stores that I go to, I have decided that I would start my own and show the stores I go to. In addition to that I will add pics of my 'scores' and share family stories. We'll see how long this last!! I do work a full time job,married and have 2 kids. My oldest is about to start first grade and my youngest just started walking! So, needless to say I do have my hands full! I may have to do several blogs a day but hopefully I will get everything I want said....well...said!
