CVS Accepting Expired Extra Care Bucks?

Posted by Ney@ShopahoicSavers.com on October 3, 2012 None comments

Recently cashiers at both CVS stores by my house randomly told me that they are now accepting expired Extra Care Bucks (CVS Store Dollars). I thought that was great because I was having a very busy month and did very little CVS couponing. However, a few days ago I went back to CVS to spend $2 ECBs that had expired about a month ago and I was told that while they did take them, a month was too long. They will take them expired but they still want you to be within two weeks of the expiration date. Good to know. If only they had told me that the first time…

P&G Rebate Card

Posted by Ney@ShopahoicSavers.com on October 2, 2012 None comments

A couple of months ago I discovered that I had already purchased some Pantene items that qualified me for a P&G $5 rebate. I have done P&G rebates before with great results. I was however, surprised today that I received my $5 rebate in the form of a VISA debit card instead of a check. While I would prefer cold, hard cash I think it’s actually really neat. I wonder if all of their future rebates will be debit cards.

10-01-12 Winn Dixie Shopping Trip

Posted by Ney@ShopahoicSavers.com on October 1, 2012 None comments

Today, I ran to Winn-Dixie because it is the closest grocery store to my house (even if it’s not the cheapest) but not before I checked the Ad to scope out the best deals.

I got-

– $1 off of Spinach

– $2.89 for a Steak

– B1G1 Free Tilapia

– Cans of Black Beans on sale for .58 cents each and then used a $1 off of 2 canned goods Winn-Dixie Catalina coupon from a previous trip

– Buy 1 Pound of Winn-Dixie Deli Cheese receive 1 Pound of Hormel Deli ham for free!

I was very pleased with these deals! I sometimes find Winn-Dixie to be more expensive but they do have good sales on certain items.

My First Experience with Dollar Tree Couponing

Posted by Ney@ShopahoicSavers.com on September 29, 2012 None comments

It made my day when I heard that Dollar Tree was going to be taking coupons. Everything in the store is $1 and there have been many times that I have seen items in the store that I had coupons for. It took me a couple weeks to get there with my coupons and try it out. I looked up the deals that other people had found and gathered up the coupons in the above picture hoping to score some free stuff or great deals.

Unfortunately, because each Dollar Tree carries different items, they didn’t have any of the items I was looking for except one. I was able to get some free A&D cream for a friend but other than that I was out of luck. I will just have to visit another dollar tree or wait until I find my own deals at the dollar tree by my house. I’m not giving up but I guess couponing at dollar tree might not be as easy as I thought.

If you live where you are able to receive an Orlando Sentinel subscription you should call or e-mail them to request a free subscription to the El Sentinel, the Spanish version of the paper. It is delivered on Saturday mornings and often contains most or all of the same coupon inserts as the regular Sunday paper. Sometimes it also contains an extra coupon insert, the Smart Source in Spanish, that usually has different coupons than the regular Smart Source. This is a great way to get a free paper and free coupons. It also usually contains the Parade magazine.

Why You Should Always Look at the Coupons in Your Magazines

Posted by Ney@ShopahoicSavers.com on September 12, 2012 None comments

My sister recently found a coupon for this free Clairol Professionals Item at Sally’s Beauty Salon in the September issue of Allure Magazine. We were next door at Target when we stopped in and snagged it for free. She didn’t even have to pay tax. It doesn’t expire until the end of October so if you get this magazine you should look for it. I hear it can also be found in the September InStyle Magazine.
