All You Magazine December Coupons
Sunday, November 16, 2008
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.

CVS Raincheck Policy
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

Binder Method for Coupon Organization
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
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:

Save Money with Reusable Bags
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
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.

Saving Money at Fry's!
Based on this week's sales (Quaker breakfast promo), the $5/$25 Whole Foods Coupon (which expired today), and my $5 catalina from the candy promo here is what I got:
30 Boxes of Quaker Brand cereal
6 Boxes Oatmeal to Go
12 Boxes Green Giant Frozen Veggies
6 Cat Treats (I don't have a cat, but my mom does...)
8 Boxes Puffs Kleenex
6 Boxes Herbal Tea
1 squeeze bottle of lemon juice (not on sale, but I needed it!)
2 lbs. grapes
2 lbs pears
Grand total of $14.99
Saved: $219.58
The lady behind me asked me if I really save a lot with coupons. Yes, yes I do.
Also, keep in mind that I did multiple transactions because of the 3 coupon rule, and a limit of 1 reward per transaction for the Quaker deal.
Happy shopping!
Organizing Coupons with Little Time
- Get a file folder bin.
- Put in some hanging file folders.
- Disperse about 26-30 file folders throughout the hanging ones.
- Don't label anything just yet...
- When you get your coupons on Sunday, take the inserts out.
- Collate the inserts.
- Place the inserts in the first available file folder.
- Label the folder with the date (i.e. 8/24)
- 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!):

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).

Coupon Class, November 8
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.
