target: possibly free shirts, handbags, and hosiery!

go here to print off the coupons good for dollars off of merona shirts for women and men, handbags, and hosiery items. you can use these coupons on clearance items, and can print them twice. remember that all clearance stuff varies by store, but you just may able to score a great deal by scouring the racks. good luck!

any ideas for remembering reuseable bags?

i am forever forgetting mine, always seeing the sign on the way in the store and hitting my forehead with my palm at my forgetfulness. i'd love your ideas for remembering to take them either in the car or in the store... i suffer from both problems. :)

coupon binder!

Front: Deal/ Sale highlights for the week

The baseball sheets before being filled

The envelopes for each store in the binder pocket and the first of the baseball sheets

Coupons in each category that are about to expire

Internet coupons (don't fit in baseball sheets)


Restaurant coupons

Retail coupons

Back inside binder pocket: Current circulars for the week

yeah, i went with a binder. i did a bunch of baseball card holders for inside... they hold about 9 coupons on a side, so each page holds 18 coupons (30 pages for 4.99 at target). plus, for internet coupons, i grabbed a thing of two-pocket colored file folders and in the front i put coupons that are about to expire, and in the back, i put the internet coupons that were too big for the baseball card slots. in the back pocket of the binder, i put the latest circulars, and in the front pocket, i have envelopes that are designated by store. when i see a sale for something that i know i have a coupon for, i stick it in the envelope. i have one more section to add, which is those clear page inserts, so that i can stick each store's current coupon policy in there. :)

the sections i have for coupons in the baseball card pages and the file folders are: food, home, personal care, baby... with additional space devoted in the pocket folders for restaurant coupons, and retail coupons.

the front pocket, outside of the binder has room for a slip of paper that has the coupon highlights for the week... sales i don't want to miss. i write down if something earns ecb's at cvs, or if i have multiple coupons (store and manufacturer) for an item and what i expect to pay for it. it helps me keep track of the deals i see online, because it's all organized by store.

breakdown of my cvs purchase:

2 pks. pampers diapers (8.49 each)

1 3-pack of cvs paper towels (2.50)

1 schick hydro razor (8.97)

1 cvs lotion (1.99)

1 axe deodorant (1.24)

1 degree deodorant (1.19)

1 dove shampoo (4.49)

total after ecb's and coupons: 14.36!!

how?

i printed out my cvs coupons when i went in at the crt machine and got 1.50 in ecb's, 1 dollar off a cvs paper product, 1 dollar off a cvs skin care product: 3.50 in savings

the razor was 8.97, but gave 6 dollars in ecb's, plus i had a 3 dollar off coupon, so i made 3 cents on that.

i had 1.50 off each of the diapers.

the dove shampoo was 4.49, but gave 4.49 in ecb's, plus i had a 2 dollar off coupon, so i made 2 dollars buying that.

i had a 4 dollars off a 20 dollar purchase coupon that they emailed me, and a 3 dollar off birthday coupon they emailed me.

in all, i saved 24.50 with ecb's and coupons, plus my last transaction earned me 4.49 in ecb's to use later.

i could have done better, i'm sure, but i'm still a novice, AND was under time crunch to get home. in all, i'm thrilled!! :)

15 family barn/garage sale.

i saw this advertised north of smithville, a little bit north of the mennonite church. it says that it's "next thursday, friday, and saturday" at 9am, and i'm wondering if that means today through saturday, or really next thursday-sat, since i saw it this past sunday. might be worth checking out...
