Weekly Walmart Deals!!!!!



As you well know, I am NOT a big fan of Walmart and even more so since couponing....The only place I have had any trouble has been at Walmart. Here is a link to Walmart's coupon policy, which would be a good thing to WHIP OUT on them if they want to give you grief!!! SERIOUSLY, they ought to be applauding my efforts at trying to save a dollar instead of wanting controversy. I mean, c'mon its not like my savings is coming out of their pocket!!!!!  Okay, I am better now....moving on......

Walmart seems to have some good deals this week, so I didn't want to leave them out for all of you!!! I am currently sticking with my fab 4 (Walgreen's, Rite Aid, Food Lion, and Phillip's) HOWEVER; I may have to venture to ole KMART since I got the FAB coupon book!!! We will just wait and see!!!!!

For a complete list of Walmart sales go to NWA Deals HERE.

Here are a few I thought looked promising:

Healthy Choice Fresh Mixers, $2.50
$1/1 Healthy Choice Fresh Mixers printable

Step 6: Rebates (Some) Are your friends too!!!

I hope most of you all are enjoying the beautiful snow day today!!!! Although we didn't get the snow that was forecast, we did get enough to SCORE a SNOW DAY!!!!!! YAY!!!!! The kids enjoyed going out and playing in the 1 to 1 and a 1/2 we had in our yard.

Now on to step 6 in our weekly series: Rebates (Some) are your friends too!!!!

First thing I want to say, is that haven't got this step entirely down yet. I am still working on making this work for me, but I wanted to mention it for those of you who are working on reducing your spending.




Rite Aid has some of the best rebate deals around. You buy stuff all month that have rebates, come home and enter them online, and then at the end of the month, recieve one big check for all of your rebates. The way this gets to be an awesome SCORE is that some of the items go on sale, plus you use a coupon and then you get a rebate for more than you paid!!!!!

Ex.  Last month Prell Shampoo
went on sale for 99 cents but the rebate was for 2 dollars. So I actually made 1 dollar just for buying the shampoo!!!!

Rite Aid has a monthly flyer in their stores that shows you the items that have rebates. I thoroughly recommend using this!!!!

I am waiting on my December check so I will let you know how long it takes, but my plan is to take that money and rolling that over into my "Grocery" envelope and using it to hopefully SCORE more deals!!!!


To read more about RiteAid and their Single Check Rebates click HERE!!!!

Two New REDBOX FREE RENTAL CODES!!!!!



A few new rental codes just popped up. Use ABTS25 and SNSV25 and get a one night rental for free. Don't forget to click HERE to sign up for text alerts and get a free code the first Monday of every month. They also usually send you a free one when you sign up!

The below codes are still available and can be used once per credit card.

Step 5: Stockpiling!!!!!

Welcome to the next step in our 12 step program to reducing our spending!!!!! I know that at this point you may think that I am going overboard and really I think I am, but at least this time it is something constructive. (or as Madea would say "Thats construction right there!!!") Actually I am still getting to shop and have my  "retail therapy" I am just making it trickier by adding in the coupons!!!

I do want to tell you that it still is a daily difficulty to stick to the budget I have set for myself,  but I made it one of my NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS and am determined to stick with it!!! $40.00 is my weekly spending allowance!!!! I know that doesn't seem like too much, but with coupons I been able to do it for about 5 weeks now!!!

It does take up some time and effort to keep up with the deals and what is NOT a deal but let's look at it this way: Before taking this on, I was thinking about taking on a second job. I now have one; couponing and deal hunting!!!!

Which brings me to my next step, STOCKPILING!!!!!!



LOOK what 40 dollars can buy!!!!!

Okay, first of all I didn't buy this all at once; but all of these do total up to 40 dollars!!!

This is my stockpile that I have started of the SCORES from the last month!!! I hope to continue to build my stockpile as I continue finding great SCORES!!!!


  • Why stockpile? Well its important to stock-up when something is on sale, because it removes those items from your weekly shopping list. That gives you more cash to buy those necessary items that aren't normally on sale. (ex. bread, milk, meat, produce)


  • When to stockpile? You need to have a rockbottom price in your mind for items. When you can find items at their rockbottom prices then, you stockpile as much as you can (Just don't go overboard!!!) Here is a list of a few of my rockbottom prices that cause me to stockpile.


      • Toilet Paper = .40 per roll


      • Paper Towels = .50 per roll


      • Tissue = .50 per box


      • Toothpaste = .75- 1.00 per tube


      • Shampoo = .75 .99 or less per bottle (although I did pay 1.50 for Head and Shoulders but it is usually much higher)


      • Salt = .50


      • Jello = .20


      • Progresso = .75


      • Dishwasher detergent = 1.00



  • What to stockpile? Anything that doesn't spoil, expire, you have room for, and that you WILL use. (I mean who needs 30 cans of evaporated milk anyway?)   :)


  • How much to stockpile? Well, again, this will depend on what you have the room for.  A good rule of thumb is about a years worth.

One final note about stockpiling. You don't have to go overboard with the stockpiling. It is just a nice thing to have and will help lower your grocery bill in the long run!

School starts back tomorrow, so we will see if I can still juggle blogging and working at the same time!!!!!

Part 4: Not going overboard/Setting spending limits

We are really moving along with our 12 step program!!!! It’s a New Year as well, so take the time out to get your finances organized so you can start the year off right!!!!! Yeah, well on to our Part 4: Not going overboard/Setting spending limits.

NOT GOING OVERBOARD!!!!!
Once I started couponing, I was clipping every coupon and printing out oodles of printable coupons. Then I felt like if I had a coupon for it, I was getting it!!!!! I was constantly on the computer trying to find the best deal…..THIS IS NOT A GOOD WAY TO SAVE!!!


  • Allow yourself to research and print coupons around twice a week. Make it part of your daily routine to check through and print out coupons you need.

  • Remember that you don’t have to snag EVERY deal!!!! I have bought a few things dirt cheap, only to realize later, that I have no need for it. Don’t let yourself get so stressed at finding the best deal! If you miss a deal, chances are that they will come back around again. (Sales move in cycles, depending on the season) Going back to a store over and over again in the same week just get another deal that you missed before is not going to save you time or money!!!!!

  • Going overboard will cause burn out!!!! Allow yourself to splurge (within reason) occasionally for something that you do NOT have a coupon for. It is okay!!!! In the long run, you are still saving money!!!!

  • Don’t feel like you HAVE to be an extreme coupon user. If binders, and internet blog hopping isn’t your thing, tailor the couponing to fit you!!!! As long as you are making a conscience effort to reduce your spending, it doesn’t matter how many coupons you download from the internet! (Trust me, I am still working on that one!!!)

  • Stay focused on why you are couponing. If your like me, you have too much month at the end of the money and need a way to help stretch it!!!! This helps to remind you that your goal is to save money, not spend it ALL on getting the BEST deals. If your spending the same amount as before (but getting TONS of GREAT deals) You still aren’t saving money……



SET SPENDING LIMITS!!!!!
Okay, even though we are adults, we still need boundries to keep us in check just like we do for our kids. One way to keep you from going overboard, is to set a spending limit.

  • Use cash ONLY when shopping. Using a debit or credit card is just too easy. Using cash often makes people think twice aobut what they are purchasing which will help to reduce costs.

  • Budget out how much you can spend on groceries for a week, and then only take that amount with you to the store(s). Focus on the have to Buy items first (such as milk, eggs, butter, oj, bread) Then with the leftover amount, you can work your magic at scoring the deals!!!!

  • DO NOT BORROW from next weeks allowance f or this week, EVER!!!! This will cause a snowball effect that will compound until you become overwhelmed and AGAIN will defeat the purpose of couponing. When your money for this week is gone, YOU ARE DONE; no ifs, ands or buts about it!!!

Keep reminding yourself that deals always come back around so if you miss one, you will hit the next one!!!
 
Thats all today, folks!!!
Take care and remember, email, message,  or comment if you have a question about any area of the blog. If I don't know the answer I will find out and get back to you!!!!
 
Take care!!!
