Products to shop for + a Peebles printable

There is a Peebles printable, 25% off any one item, at coupons.com. You can print two per computer. I’ve had great luck stacking sales and coupons there, so it may come in handy. Might be nice to stop in during January and treat yourself to a new item to beat the mid-winter blahs.

This is the time of year when manufacturers try to cash in on consumers making New Year’s resolutions. Look for deals on diet, nutrition, health, vitamins and wellness items. Today’s paper is loaded with coupons for all of this stuff. Also, look for these items, as well as cosmetics, to be clearanced. Makes for some great deals when you combine clearance with coupons, and many of the items are clearanced just for new packaging. Walgreen’s and CVS will also be running lots of Register Reward deals and ECB deals on these items in January, if they repeat what they have done in past years.

Happy New Year!

Wow! I haven’t posted in about six months, and for that I apologize. I certainly didn’t mean to disappear without a trace. Having two little ones is quite a bit to handle, so that knocked me on my ass–ha ha.

I read somewhere that most new bloggers only last six months before giving it up, but if you do it for two to three years, you’re in it for the long haul. So I want to give it another shot. I’m going to try to commit to two or three posts a week.

For this week, three things to consider:
1. Tomorrow will be a huge coupon insert day. If you’ve been slacking on clipping and collecting, this is a good weekend to recharge. Ask your friends & neighbors for theirs too.

2. Until Thursday it’s triples at Superfresh. A few freebies to be had, but not much. But you may want to check it out.

3. Until Thursday there is a spend 25 get 10 Procter & Gamble deal at Acme. As always, the $25 is based on shelf prices, not sale prices, and the catalina rolls.

4. New month started yesterday–so hit those printable sites if you haven’t already.

I guess I had 4 tips for today.

Happy couponing!

CVS in Landenberg

They took my expired ECBs, whew! I begged and pleaded, brought along aforementioned newborn to show them I had been busy and couldn’t get there. I told them it wouldn’t happen again. They were very polite and said ‘no problem.’

I did two terrible transactions–terrible as far as my return on investment. First transaction I handed over $27 ECBs and coupons, got $10 ECBs back. Second one, handed over $13 ECBs and coupons, paid $2.38 oop, got $8.50 back in ECBs. Meh. I don’t really even care about breaking even or moneymakers right now. At least they are all extended for another month.

What I did notice–so many of the monthly and weekly deals did not have tags hanging in front of them. I got the Crest mouthwash, Children’s Tylenol and a few other things–the ECBs printed but no tags in front of the items. I didn’t even know I’d get $2 for the Tylenol, I just had coupons, a CRT and was trying to use up the ECBs.

I’ve browsed HCW to look for upcoming deals and nothing excites me. Oh well, Acme has been fun lately.
