What I Wish I Knew When I Started Using Coupons...

  • It’s okay to miss a deal. The deals will come around again.
  • If the store is out, get a raincheck. It is not a big deal unless you need the item.
  • Don’t buy an item just because it is on sale and you have a coupon. You will end up spending more money this way.
  • It is not worth it most of the time to make a trip to a store for one free item. The sales tend to cycle through the stores. Pick your favorite store and stick with it.
  • Not everyone spends the same amount for groceries, or buys the same items. Don't compare your savings to everyone else. Compare how much you are saving to how much you spent before. It's okay to spend more than $40/week on groceries.

Great Deals for Little Einstein Fans

Target has the Pat-Pat Rocket this week for $22. It retails for $39.99.

DisneyShopping.com has the Alaska Mission Playset and the Egypt Mission Playset that go with Pat Pat Rocket for $5.99 each. The regular retail on these is $19.50 each.

These would make great gifts for Christmas if your toddler loves this show as much as mine.

Also, if you have other toy shopping needs for Christmas, you could combine the Target deal with a $5/$50 toy purchase coupon that came in a Target mailer.

Coupon Class

Thank you so much to everyone who came out today! I look forward to hearing about all of your great savings.

I am planning another class because I have had such a huge response. Unfortunately due to time constraints and materials required to put on the class, I am not able to offer it for free.

The cost for future classes will be $15/person. This will include all handouts and beginners guide with everything you need to get started and more. The classes will have freebies, door prizes, and tons of great information.

Keep in mind that my classes give you the tools to cut your grocery bill in at least half. There is no ongoing subscription fee. It will pay for itself in your first trip to the store.

I have not set a date for my next class, but if you are interested in attending please send me an e-mail at providentprincess@gmail.com if you would like to be notified. 

If you would like to host a class, I will come to you with a minimum 10 participants. If you host a class, the fee will be waived for the host.

I will also provide 1 on 1 workshops to suit your schedule for a fee of $25.

If you can't make a workshop or would just rather read information, look for information on purchasing materials soon.

If you have attended a class and would like to submit a testimonial/quote, e-mail it to me at providentprincess@gmail.com.

Happy Shopping!

CVS Raincheck Policy

Dear Kolina Romney:

Thank you for contacting CVS/pharmacy. I am in receipt of your e-mail concerning coupons. I can help you with this.

If you have a coupon that offers more off than the CVS sales price the coupon should be accepted and adjusted.

Coupons can only be used one time. Unfortunately when a coupon is scanned and states that it has been used, then we cannot accept it. I do apologize for the unprofessional manner in which the store manager handled this issue.

There is a policy for rainchecks on ExtraCare buck items. If the item has an Extra Buck offer, then the Extra Buck offer is subtracted from the sale price on the raincheck.

Again, thank you for contacting us with your concerns. Please let us know if we can be of further assistance.


Sincerely,

Kathy Tobin

Deal Idea for Beginners:

Transaction 1:

Buy 1 Crest Toothpaste at $3.49, use $1 q
Pay $2.49 oop, get $3.49 ECB

Transaction 2:

Buy 10 Icebreakers at $1 each
Use 5 $1/2 Coupons
Use $3.49 ECB from Transaction 1
Pay $1.51 + Tax, get $5 ECB

Transaction 3:

Buy 2 packs of pampers at $10 each
Use $4/$20 CVS q (only if you are new, or have recently updated your e-mail address)
Use 2 $1.50/1 q's
Use $5 ECB from Transaction 2
Pay $8 + tax, get $5 ECB

Summary: 10 packs of gum, 1 toothpaste, 2 packs of diapers for $7 after ECBs and coupons!

The trick is to roll your ECBs to get more things that produce ECBs. Save your $5 ECB from the Pampers for next time.

If you are new to CVS, don't forget to scan your card at the card scanner/price checker. It will print good coupons to use on your purchases. They are CVS coupons so can be combined with a manufacturer's coupon.

If you are doing multiple transactions, be courteous to others. If someone is waiting behind me, I will usually let them go ahead.

Binder Method for Coupon Organization

Coupon Binder:

I use a binder with baseball card holders to organize my coupons. They can be found at Target and Wal-Mart near the baseball cards for about $5/pack. It is a easy visual way to see all of my coupons quickly.

Here are the categories I use for my binder:

Baking
Beverages
Boxed Foods
Breads and Grains
Candy
Canned
Cereal
Condiments/Spices
Deli and Meat
Diet and Nutrition
Frozen
Refigerated
Snacks

Cleaning
Feminine Care
Hair Care
Make-Up
Miscellaneous
Oral Care
Paper
Razors
Restaurants
Rx
Skin Care
Soap and Deoderant
Store Coupons

Baby

Pet Care

The first half is food items. The second half is non food items. I used printer labels and placed them on the actual card holder pages. Some like to use dividers, but I think they take up too much space in my already large binder.

I have a small coupon organizer labeled by store that I put my coupons in when I go shopping. I got it for $1 at the Dollar Spot in Target. I believe they still have them there with the back to school supplies. I also have a small one simply devoted to CVS. I have each transaction separted in that organizer and keep all of my CVS CRTs and ECBs in that one.

More on Organizing:

I don't clip all of my coupons. I only clip the ones that I know I will more than likely use. I ask myself if it is something we get a great price on, would I buy it? I will also clip coupons I know I can give to others, or use for charitable donations.

I don't throw away the coupons I did not clip. I have a hanging file folder bin that I got at Wal-Mart for around $8 and I have about 25 file folders. Each week I label a folder with the date of the inserts and place those unclipped coupons in the bin. That way if there is something I want to use that I didn't clip I can easily find it. Pinchingyourpennies.com has a great sortable coupon list (this one originates here in AZ). Click here to get to the list. I can easily see if I have a coupon and which week and insert it came out in. Here are the abbreviations for the inserts:

SS=Smartsource
V=Valassis
RP=RedPlum
P&G=Proctor&Gamble

Money Saving Mom has a great way that she organizes her coupons. Click here to see her method.
Click here to see how another couponer uses a binder. (

You have to do what works for you. Some people don't like the binder because they think it takes too much time. I don't think it takes much time, mainly because I don't clip every single coupon from the paper. I usually file them while I am watching TV.
Happy Clipping!

Use: $.55/2 from 9/21 RP
Final: FREE

Idahoan Potatoes: $1.00
Final: FREE
*WYB 4, you will receive a $1 catalina OYNSO*

My DH went into Fresh and Easy for some bread and to pick up some $5/$20 coupons and said the cashier said they no longer had them. This was at Higley and Ray. Supposedly they are only going out through direct mail, which I won't get until ours opens at Ironwood and Ocotillo next fall. If you have the 09 Entertainment book there are $5/$50 Safeway q's. Let me know if anyone comes across any $/$$ q's since the Fry's promo is running until 12/2.

On another note, I went to Fry's today getting mostly the freebie items and the Moonlight Madness deals. I spent about $30 and saved about $70 (it was 72%). I know that is really good savings, but I kept thinking it wasn't what it should be. That's because I bought the Tinkerbell movie which was $19.99. So, if you take out the movie I spent $10 for a cart full of groceries.

Tinkerbell is probably cheaper elsewhere, but they did have a deal for a FREE box of Disney Fruit snacks when you buy the movie. Wasn't worth another trip to me.

Happy shopping!

Save Money with Reusable Bags

Fry's, Albertson's and Basha's will all give you $.05 off your grocery bill per bag you bring into the store. It applies to plastic or reusable bags. You may need to remind your cashier to give you this discount. Because of this discount, I have had cashiers give me $.10 when I was buying items that were free.

My favorite is the Trader Joe's bags. They cost $.99 and are extremely durable. They will eventually pay for themselves. Mine have been paid for over and over again and I am also keeping plastic bags out of the landfills.

I also use a insulated bag that I got at Costco for my cold items. This is especially nice when you go to a store that is far. It's also great keeping food cold on long trips.




Another favorite bag of mine is the IKEA blue bag. It is only $.59 and I use them for everything from laundry (this is the BEST space saving laundry basket ever) to picking up the toys in the living room and placing them back in the child zone to shopping at IKEA (of course!). They have also proved useful for traveling.



Plus, I really love bags. As a child my mom called me the "bag lady" because I always drug several of the around the house filled with toys and canned goods. I was a born shopper! It is my humble opinion that a girl can never have too many bags.

$25 Prescription Coupon for CVS

Today's Republic had a $25 Rx transfer coupon for CVS (it was a sticky on the front cover).

There was also another one for CVS in the actual CVS ad. It does not expire until December.

Keep in mind that Fry's will accept this coupon as well.

So you could transfer it to CVS with one coupon, and then transfer it to Fry's the next time you need it filled.

Keep in mind that once you have transferred it to one pharmacy, you can't transfer it later on back to that pharmacy with another coupon. They will only accept the coupon the first time you transfer it to their store.

Organizing Coupons with Little Time

I have had to take a step back from my binder. I simply don't have time to clip each and every coupon I use. Here is the method to my coupon madness:

  1. Get a file folder bin.
  2. Put in some hanging file folders.
  3. Disperse about 26-30 file folders throughout the hanging ones.
  4. Don't label anything just yet...
  5. When you get your coupons on Sunday, take the inserts out.
  6. Collate the inserts.
  7. Place the inserts in the first available file folder.
  8. Label the folder with the date (i.e. 8/24)
  9. Lather, Rinse, Repeat.

Walla! Your coupons are all organized.

Now, how do you find them, you ask? Click here to view the best deals brought to you by the amazing people at Pinching Your Pennies and contributors. If the coupon says 8/24 SS, go to the file you have labeled 8/24. Find the Smart Source insert and clip the coupon.

Less clipping, more organization...

Now, if you want to search for a coupon, simply go to the PYP Sortable Coupon Link.

Here is how to find your coupons by label (thanks, PYP!):

The date in parentheses is the expiration date.

The information at the end is where the coupon can be found, and the date it was issued:

SS=Smartsource

V=Valassis/RedPlum

P&G=Proctor&Gamble

K=Kraft

LV= La Voz

PH= Presna Hispana

Feel free to e-mail me with any questions! If I don't use a coupon that I clipped, I keep it in a small purse sized coupon organizer (which I got at the Target Dollar Spot). I also do CLIP coupons that I KNOW I will use (i.e. the FREE Sara Lee Bread).

Common Couponing Acronyms

Coupon Class, November 8

I promised a fall coupon class, so I finally set a date!

When: Saturday, November 8th
Time: 10:00 am
Where: My home in Queen Creek
What: Learn about how to:


  • Cut your grocery bill in at least half
  • Maximize the benefits of using coupons
  • Get stuff for FREE
  • Work on building your food storage/year supply
  • Utilize FREE resources
  • Organizing coupons

I am NOT selling anything. This workshop will focus on FREE services and resources (i.e. I will NOT be advocating the "subscription" coupon services). The only investment required is acquiring Sunday Paper coupons (which you could get for free from family etc.) and some time (as little or as much as you have to put into it).

The workshop is FREE. It is geared towards beginners, but anyone is welcome to attend.

I live in Queen Creek. Anyone is welcome!

There will be door prizes, and FREEBIES if you bring a friend.

See you there!

Please e-mail me at livingprovidently@gmail.com if you plan on attending and for directions to my home.

I will be unveiling my "Best Price List, Version 1" which features the items we frequently get on sale with coupons so you know what the best prices are.

Welcome!

This blog will be dedicated to great savings at the grocery store, and more!
