more websites :)
Ok, so its been a while since my last blog. Sorry, I’ve been busy. I think I am gonna try to compile a weekly blog about the best deals I got!
I also want to try to research and find some coupon trading groups too! I think people who buy coupons from the internet are nuts! So hopefully I will get some time in the future to do that and then post a blog about it! I do use baby cheapskates coupon trading group like I have mentioned before. I was thinking of starting my own trading group on google..but we will see about that!
Here are some websites I have found through my magazine reading that I think would be helpful!
valpak.com - just found out about this..but the coupons arent very organized on the site
thefind.com - tells you the places you can buy a product and lists the prices so you can compare. Also on the right side, you can check the boxes to show sales, coupons, and shipping deals!
rockabuygear.com - buy and sell gently used baby items and also has maternity clothes
Ppgazette.com - coupon aggregator that compiles coupons from a bunch of different sites
freesnatcher.com - list what coupons will be in the Sunday paper (there are lots of sites like this, this is just one of them) and also has other deals too!

great deals of the week and coupon tips
GREAT DEALS OF THE WEEK!
Remember I still had $4 in UP rewards from rite aid? Well I used them this week! Here is the great deal I got!
-Kleenex Cottonelle toilet paper-12 pk double rolls-for 99 cents!
Used: $1 video values coupon
$1 mauf coupon, it was in the paper a few wks ago
$4 in UP rewards
-Bounty Basic single roll-purchased 2, total cost 29 cents!
Used: $1 manuf coupon from last p&g brand saver
Store special: b1g1 free
Other great deals:
-2 packages of Clorox disinfectant travel wipes free--
Not sure if this is still available but on Clorox’s face book page they were offering a $1 off any Clorox product (click on the Clorox home tab, then click on products and offers and it was under there..I printed two of them, I don’t see it anymore but some sites have the coupon disappear after you printed it) anyway..use that on Clorox travel wipes, which are under a $1 at walmart and target (I suggest using it at walmart, I used it at target and the cashier gave me a hard time, since they cost 97 cents and not $1 there, she put the coupon in manually as 97 cents, at walmart they usually just scan it and give you the whole amount off, which gives you a few cents credit, as long as you buy other items!)
-Alpo Premium Cuts Beef Stew on sale for 67 cents, used b1g1 free from last weeks paper (I believe), so got two cans for 67 cents total. (My dogs don’t get this that often but thought it was a great deal for canned food!)
-Herrs family size chips are b1g1 free at weis, orginal price $3.99, used two $1 off printed from their website, got two family sized bags for $2 total!
*Also if you are a weis shopper, visit their website, there was a pop up that gives you a coupon for $5 off a $50 purchase when you sign up for their newsletter
INTERNET COUPON TIPS:
-You can usually print two coupons by hitting the back button and refresh (if needed)..this is helpful especially on mauf websites!
-If you are looking for a coupon go to dealinusa.com and click on mauf coupons on left hand side..they list alphabetically, if you don’t see a coupon there for the product you like I suggest checking the manuf website or facebook page
-Also send emails about how much you like a certain product on the websites..some of them will send you coupons! I did this with Turkey Hill and got a ton of coupons for iced tea and ice cream!!!
SUNDAY PAPER COUPON TIPS”
-Save the unused coupons-it takes time but I cut out the unused one and put them in an envelope with the date and list the coupons inside..this helps with my coupon trading..if someone is looking for a certain coupon..I just have to look at the envelope to see if I have it, instead of searching through the inserts..PLUS if a deal comes up for a free or cheap item you have the coupon handy!
-If you know other people that get the Sunday paper, ask them for their unused inserts! Then you have multiples of coupons! So if you find a good deal you are able to get more than one! For the bounty towels above I had two coupons, so I was able to get 4 rolls for 60 cents! And I also had two of the alpo coupons.

rite aid..my new love!
So I used to shop rite aid but then i stopped for a while..not sure why..but I have now had a change of heart! Of course I still love shopping at target but rite aid has become my new love! lol ...this is a long blog..but I wanted to make sure I got everything explained.
The first thing to do is start completing the video values. The coupons reset each month. But they stay in your account til they expire, you select the coupons you want to print after you watch videos and you dont have to prin them right away. These coupons say mauf coupon but have a rite aid symbol and a special rite aid barcode so you can combine them with mauf coupons.
Click on all offers and under the rite aid section there is two $1 off a non rx purchase one is for watching the wellness+ video and the winter rewards video. Then click on special sections and then winter rewards, watch 10 of the rite aid winter rewards product videos and you will get a $2 off a non rx product. Also under special sections watch all the beauty video you will get a $4 off a $20 purchase. The site is a little confusing at first..if you need help or have questions let me know, I will try to help you. These coupons say cannot combine with like offfers but I used them in combination with other rite aid and mauf coupons with no problem. Tip-if you are using the $4 off a $20 purchase have the cashier take that off before any other coupons or you total can go below $20 making your purchase ineligible for the $4 off.
When you click on all offers you will see what products have videos and how much he coupon is for.
Tip--You have to stay on the page while the video runs or else it pauses (you used to be able to go off the page and let it run). Also right after the video there is a one of those security code boxes and you only have 30 seconds to enter it. If you dont enter it in time or enter it incorrectly you will have to watch the vido again.
So here is what I got today:
I stopped at the Rite Aid in Dallas and I got:
20 ct finish gel packs- all month sale @$3.99, plus $1 video value coupon, and .75 mauf coupon
Halls- 2 for $3, used january and february video values .50 coupon, and $1 off two mauf coupon
chex mix- 2 for $3, used .50
crest prohealth- 2 for $5, used two $1 mauf coupons
I also used the $2 off non rx purchase and the two $1 off non rx purchase (as described above)
I got in return:
$1 up reward for halls
$1 up reward for chex mix
$1 up reward for crest
and I got another $1 up reward, which I used at my trip to the Tunk rite aid and dont remember what it was for.. pretty sure it was for the finish
plus my shopping got my thirsty so I got a snapple..
in the end this trip before coupons was $15.82, after coupons I paid $5.38 including tax and got $4 back
There were some items I was looking for that the Dallas Rite Aid didnt have to so I went to the Tunkhannock one and got
Hatrz crunch n clean-$2.99, used $1 mauf
Spic n span scrub brushes-got two, on clearance for .50 each, used $1 off 2 spic n spac items mauf coupon
Snickers pb squared- got two, .50 ea, had b1g1 free mauf coupon
also got 10 prints i ordered online, i had a coupon for free 10 prints which i signed up for on swagbucks noso (no obligation special offers) section and I just noticed the price of the prints was $1.50 and the coupon took off $1.90 so I made .40 on that!
My total came to 6.49, with all the coupons I had it came to $2.09, the I used two of my rewards from my purchase in dallas an my total came to 9 cents..thats right...9 cents!
Plus I got:
$1 up reward for hartz
$1 up reward for purchse of pet treats (so double bonus on the crunch n clean!)
So I still have two $1 rewards from Dallas and now have two $1 rewards from Tunkhannock. Rite aid has a deal on dixie plates right now, b1g1 free, plus a $3 off purchase of 2 video values, which means I could get them for 99 cents. And I can buy something small to get over $1 and use one of my rewards coupons. I couldnt find them in stock in Dallas or Tunkhannock (i even checked both rite aids in Tunk)
So all together today I spent $5.47 and ended up with $4 in rewards for my next trip..so if you count the rewards as money..I got all th items above for $1.47! Now the only thing is I have to try to not buy items I dont need..sometimes its tempting cause of the rewards..but remember you have to put out the money to get it back!
Other tip: you can split up your items into two purchases and use the rewards that print from your first purchase on the second purchase. I just always ask the cashier nicely and have never had a problem doing it. If theya re not too busy sometimes they will let you do three transactions..just depends on your cashier!
Wow..this was a long one..but I hope it helps you!
