Couponing Tips

I am a shopaholic. I love thrifting, garage sale-ing and now COUPONING. It is seriously addicting!!!!  My sister in law is a champion couponer & with a few tips from her i was off and running.
If you have watched Extreme Couponing on TLC, don't get your hopes up..lol Getting free groceries is hard. By groceries I mean food items.  Now you want some free toothpaste, razors or super cheap toilet paper?  Let's chat!!!

With stores like Wal-Greens & CVS having Register Reward programs you can easily score tons of "free" (or dirt cheap) items. As long as you don't mind continuing to shop here in order to use your the in store rewards you earn!! Target is another great store to coupon at *Tip* Target will let you stack a manufacturers coupon with a Target. For example, there s a $2 off Maybelline lipstick web coupon on Targets website.  There was also a $2 off Maybelline lipstick in a the Sunday paper a few weeks ago!!!  So the deal right now at Target looks like this

$5.54 for delicious Maybelline lipstick or lip gloss
$2 off Target web coupon
$2 off Sunday paper coupon
$1.54   for delicious Maybelline lipstick or lip gloss AFTER COUPONS!!!!

Not impressed by still paying $1.54 after coupons? Sorry man, make-up is expensive!!! How about some free Annie's Mac & Cheese??  Friend Annie's on Facebook and print a .$75 off coupon. *Tip* Create a FB page just for couponing!!!!!!  Kroger has Annie's on sale $10 for 10 making a box $1. *tip* You don't have to buy 10 to get the $1 deal. *Tip* Kroger doubles coupons up to $1.  So the deal looks like this.

$1.00 for yummy organic Mac & Cheese
$.75 off Facebook coupon
Kroger doubles my coupon to $1
FREE yummy organic Mac & Cheese!!!

Don't think I didn't want to ask all 251 of my FB friends to like Annie's and give me the coupon..HAHA P.S this coupon offer is over.   Some of my most FAVORITE couponing blogs are:
