Dollar tree Store Manager Attacks Couponer

I use my coupons at Dollar Tree, and thankful have never had a rude or crazy clerk. I hope the this manager has been fired ! In fact I think I will email the Corporate today. This is just not acceptable treatment of a customer.
PLEASE LEAVE COMMENTS WHAT DO YOU THINK?

This says it all

What did you save in 2012?

So another year is almost gone. I am going to try and get back to stockpiling with coupons after the 1st of the year. I have saved almost $4000.00, this year clipping coupons.  I hope to double it in 2013.
      It seems they are bound and determined to raise taxes, the Lord willing I will make up what I lose to the Feds with coupons. Don't laugh.
So it's time to clean out the coupon binders and start collecting coupons for the New Year.
I am going to try a new way of organizing my coupons this year.Check out THEGREENCABBY on you tube. You just gotta love a guy who coupons.

I have a little dog named Roxie This is not her, but she looks much like this dog
. It seems her favorite thing to do, is to chew the zippers out of my bathrobes
.If I forget and leave it with in her reach, she will attack the zipper! She just can't seem to help her self.
So I was very happy to Get my $10.00 reward from JCP this week.
 Because you guessed it she has trashed another bathrobe.
 I went to the store on Saturday and found 2 Bathrobes on clearance in my size. Hooray retail price $30.00 each mark down to $12.00 each so I decided just to buy both for $24.00 took off the $10.00 coupon $14.00 for 2 that's only $7.00 each great deal.
At this price I won't feel so bad when she chews these up. LOL 
So $60.00 dollar retail for $14.00 that is a savings of $46.00.
  She is such a good girl most of the time.... It is her only fault.

Sore throat or strep? Mix a little Listerine with a little Peroxide and gargle several times daily until throat symptoms go away. It kills the bacteria. Try this remedy in place of a doc visit and/or anti-biotics. It really WORKS!!

Save-a-dime: With the help of Kroger and coupons:Today I became an Extreme Couponer

I have been at this coupon thing for quite a while. And it has been my goal to walk of the grocery store with them owing me money.  Today was that day for me. I walked out of Kroger with 172.28 worth of items. Did not even have to pay the tax. And I still have $2.57 credit left on my Kroger card to use on my next trip.
Wow it was great to leave the store with a full shopping cart and not owe them any money from my checking account. No I don't do this good every week, but this week I clipped and I saved.
I also earned 207 points toward the 10 cents off a gallon program with the purchase of my free food.

Food Storage Review Honeyville Farms

I admit that I am one of those people who likes to think ahead, and be prepared for anything. That is why I love to have powdered eggs and milk on hand all the time. 
 I can see some of you rolling your eyes. LOL

 Ever been right in the middle of a recipe?
The next words out of your mouth are "Oh no out of eggs, or milk. "
 I have been there, and that is what started me ordering from a company called Honeyville .
 Happily I never run out of these items any more.
 They don't have to be keep in the fridge the can sits right on your shelf.
 I only use these in cooking. It is so convenient to use these products. Even the hubby loves to cook with them.
    I use fresh eggs to scramble, fresh milk for drinking.
 I promise you, for using in a recipe you will never know the difference.
    My hubby and I love their six grain cereal, so much better than plain oatmeal.
I decided to try the freeze dried sausage crumbles. Really wasn't sure If I would like them, but guess what they are great.
 Even my son who is not like Mikey, he is picky to the max, but  he likes them.
They don't have to be kept in the fridge. So if you lose you power you still have meat in the house. 
This company is a pleasure to do business with.
I have not been compensated for my opinion, I just think they have quality products and a fair price.
 I will be trying the freeze dried   ground beef next. I will let you know what I think.

They have a promo code check them out if you have the time.

What was your best coupon buy this week? 

save-a-dime: at RITEAID

My best deal so far this week was at RiteAid. They have the Venus razor on sale for $9.99 you get $4.00 back in up rewards, a fair deal I guess, but not great. Well as I was looking at my coupons I realized that I had 3 coupons that would work a great deal for me. The first coupon read if you buy any Venus refill cartridge you get a Venus razor for free. Now the deal is looking better. The next coupon was for $2.00 off a Venus cartridge. The last coupon states that if you purchase Venus cartridge you get a Olay body wash for free up to 7.99.

 This is how it played out. I bought the Venus 4 pack cartridge for 12.49. I also bought the Olay Embrace razor priced at 9.99. Next I found the Olay body wash for $7.49 and it had a free bar of Olay Soap attached to it, another freebie. I had $5.00 in rewards to use on this transaction. the retail on this deal $29.97 after coupons and reward bucks I paid out of pocket $5.49. They gave me back $4.00 in up rewards. I think this was a great buy. So if you have a coupon binder check it for those coupons it is a great deal. I got the coupons out of the Sunday papers I can't remember which week.
