Did you notice that Proctor and Gamble has added a new wording to the coupons? LIMIT ONE COUPON PER PURCHASE of products and quantities stated LIMIT OF 4 LIKE COUPONS PER HOUSEHOLD PER DAY. Not PER TRANSACTION, but PER DAY. No more doing 5 transactions and taking home 20 items. Please be an ethical couponer and use them as they are asking us to. :) Blessings- Dannelle

They will STILL have some deals that earn the Register Rewards that we are used to - but some deals will offer points.

OK. The new Balance Rewards card/program has started at Walgreen's. This is to help you understand it a little better. Keep in mind that this is a NEW program for all of us and we are kind of learning as we go.   First of all, you need a card.  You can sign up online HERE or get it at the store. There is even a mobile phone application. This card is needed get the sale prices at the register and to use Walgreen's store coupons.   Now, you might want to know what you earn. Points that add up to money.   Keep in mind that they are STILL doing SOME Register Reward Deals. There simply aren't as many as we are used to. From now on, some "freebies" will be listed, considering how many "points" you might earn off of them and their rough, equivalent value. Example: an item that gives you 500 points is similar to $.50 in value. If it was $1.50 and you get 500 points, you used a $1.00 coupon, the item would be FREE after all is said and done. (You sti

It looks like there will be only 1 insert in the paper this weekend ... a SmartSource . You can check out what coupons are on the national line up -- but keep in mind that we may see slightly different ones in our own area. Want more coupons? Here is an easy way to get them: COUPON CLIPPING SERVICES You can always use a clipping service to get more insert coupons or ones that were not available in your local paper . I recommend these 4 sites Now that the Dollar Tree no longer carries the Sunday paper for $1.00 - it's time to talk discount subscriptions. (sigh)   Check it out HERE to see if you have any special offers in your area.

Miss Sarah is in ballet classes...so I know we will need new shoes, tights, etc. So, it can be a matter of how to work the deals, to get what you know you are already going to buy, to save money for your family's budget. Here is a great example. The WHA Public Auction had certificates for Rosey Cheeks - $20.00 value. When you over bid, you get bonus certificates! This year it was a $5.00 Taco Bell and a $5.00 Pizza Hut coupon. SO, it makes sense to bid just one dollar over and get the bonuses. I got TWO certificates for $21 -- which I was going to have to spend on new shoes and tights anyway. They gave me $20 back in the food certificates, so that means we were $18 ahead! Now, stack the Rosey Cheeks gift certificate with the Bucky Book Coupon of theirs -- Now, my $42 is really worth $70!   Shoes, tights, and maybe a new leotard are in her future... maybe something fun for her hair too. :)   As for the Pizza Hut coupons -- They have a school reading pro

A few things you need to know about these stores: You can double up to five manufacturer coupons (with a value of $1.00 or less) on Wednesdays and Saturdays, thru the end of December. Your total order needs to be at least $25 before tax and after store coupons, and you need to use your Roundy's rewards card in order for your coupons to double. Individual store coupon policies may vary, so be sure to check in with customer service.... but the standard company policy is listed HERE Don't forget about the Fuel Perks Program ( here ) Make sure you take your own grocery bags -- you get $.05 for each one.
