Collecting coupons

Today's assignment is to go to Wal Mart and buy the All You magazine. the November issue costs $2.49 and has nearly $50 in coupons in the magazine. You won't use all those, of course, but you will use enough to pay for the cover price of the magazine and it's a pretty good magazine, as well.

I usually buy 3 or 4 copies and then file them with my sunday paper coupon inserts. When you see a good coupon deal, you can refer back to the magazine and cut out coupons you need.

To get started on coupon deals follow any of these blogs "A Thrifty Mom" "Moms by Heart" or "A Frugal Friend." Lots of times they will list a deal and list that there is a coupon to use with the deal from the "All You Nov" magazine. You will be ready with those coupons on hand!

Get paid to shop

Walgreens just paid me several dollars to shop! I got 4 Dove Shampoos, 4 Dove Conditioners, some cough drops, a vitamin C drink and 4 bars of soap. I paid $6 after using all my coupons and I got Register Rewards of $14.50! That's payment of $8 to buy that stuff. It was really fun.

This has taken me a while to build up to. But it's been worth it. So today we're going to have a beginning lesson: pop on over to Walgreens and buy a couple of Register Rewards items. The register rewards items have red signs by them that indicate how much the RR will be. (RR is the coupon you get after purchase) At Walgreens, go to the dental floss. There is one that is on sale for $2 and gives a $2 RR. Then buy a package of Emergen-C. They are in the vitamins section- 2 small bottles wrapped together- on the bottom row. They are in a green packaging. $3.50 with a 3.50 RR. Also buy Halls Refresh- $1 (with a $1 RR) , in the cough drops section. Buy those 3 items, will cost you about $6.50. Then you will get $6.50 in coupons to use at your next visit. Take those and buy some things you need, so you won't have to make another trip.

After you get the hang of this, money making becomes easy! Good luck!

Free chicken?

I hope you got your free Grilled Chicken today at KFC. I did, it was very tasty. For tomorrow, head on over to Walgreens and find a Free Effects Chapstick. Buy it for $2.99 and you will get a $3 coupon printed when you check out. The take the $3 coupon and get some Halloween candy. Give it a try! It will lead to confidence shopping at Walgreens and huge savings. I have even been making money on some of the deals.

Back from break!

I've been out of the blogging world for a while, time to start up again.

Freebie: Grilled Chicken at KFC on Monday. Just drop in for your free piece of chicken!

Also, in the last few weeks, I've experimented with the Register Rewards program at Walgreens and I have learned a lot. Looks for tips and tricks in the next while. If you find yourself at Walgreens soon, pick up a bag of Halls Refresh- in the cough drops section. They are on sale for 99 cents. After you purchase a $1 Register Rewards coupon will print out at check-out. You can use that for your next Walgreens purchase and you just got the cough drops free. Try it with that item so you can get comfortable with the program and we will keep going to bigger and better deals!
