Shoppers Food Shopping Trip 11/7/2009

Food, Shoppers, Shopping Trips, Uncategorized
Wow!  I did it.  I went to Shoppers this evening.  I can't believe it is 8:33 PM as I start writing this.  I treated the family to Ci-Ci's pizza for dinner.  What a treat!  I know it is high calories but it sure is good.  Afterward, the three of us went to Shoppers.  My hubby is a trooper so is my little girl. I'm definitely not a pro like MoneyWiseMoms, Redemption Unlimited Girls and FrugalFriends!  They know exactly what they are doing. Now a couple things I learned!  Going with my family was good because it was a family affair but it did take longer then I expected.   As I always say, make sure you have a game plan before going.   I was so excited that I could get to Shoppers…

CVS Deals 11/8/09-11/14/09

Coupons, CVS, Shopping deals, Uncategorized
I'm trying to think of a catchy phrase for this.  Get more for less at CVS?   Sounds more like a Target slogan.   Get the Bucks at CVS?   I don't know.  Silly right?  Leave me a comment with a suggestion. I used my CVS ECBs last week for some items I needed so now I'm going to start fresh this week.   I've been shopping at CVS now for over a year and I wouldn't say I'm a pro at this but I'm learned a lot over this year and the way to really save money is not to spend much at all!  Easy right?!  This means  SMALL transactions.   It means not buying everything on sale. Let's start Getting the Bucks at CVS! CVS Savings Week#1 I'm going to…

Newspapers, Uncategorized
Looking carefully in my last week's ad section I noticed a good deal on the Washington Post for new subscribers and who have not been a Post subscriber for the past 30 days. 26 weeks of $.59 Sundays or $1.11 7 days.   That's a 62% savings for Sunday only. Reply by December 31, 2009. Click HERE for more information. For current subscribers I strongly suggest calling Washington Post and asking them if there any good deals available this time of year and see what they say.  If there aren't any then cancel your subscription and pick up a Double Deal instead.

Harris Teeter Triple Coupon Shopping Trip 10/5/2009

Harris Teeter, Shopping Trips, Uncategorized
Here is my quick stop at Harris Teeter today.  However, it turned eventful.  Here are a couple tips! 1.  Check the signs in the store for the dates of the deals. I mistakenly bought Prego large jars thinking it was B1G1 they were $3.99 after going to customer service they refunded me $3.99 + tax.  Which turned out to be a good deal after all.  I'm not sure if this will happen at all customer service desks, so be aware. 2. Make sure the cashier checks out all of your items. Just as I was talking to the customer service manager about my Prego mistake the gentleman behind me in line appeared at the customer service desk and asked to be refunded for whole wheat pasta, which was mine.  Since…
