I recently had my 20-year high school reunion – oye! One of the most fun things to come out of it was hanging out with my BFF from high school – Sarah. And this girl is a couponer! She showed me her bins of free stuff that she’s gotten and gave me a coupon binder to get started. So I decided to give it a whirl. I’ve been doing a little bit of the couponing at CVS – but decided to expand to CVS, Target and Walgreens this week.

I wanted to share with you because maybe there are some of you that are more new to it – or not sure if it’s really worth the effort. So here are the pics and my deals!!!

First up was Target. Sarah told me to find their online coupons – so I did. Nice thing is you can combine a manufacturer coupon with a Target coupon! (I checked their policy.) You can click on the pic to see a larger image – but here’s what I got and how much it all cost:

Vitamin Water $1.02 each – Target Coupon Buy 2 Get 1 Free (more of a splurge) = $2.04

Papermate 10-pack of Pens $1.00 – Target Coupon $1 off Papermate product = FREE

Colgate Tootbrush $2.99 – Target coupon for $1 + Manufacturer Coupon for $.40 = $1.59

Sharpie Pens $1.49 – Target coupon for $1 = $.49

Revlon Nail Polish $2.48 on clearance – Target coupon for $1 = $1.48

Tums 12 ct $1.49 – Target coupon for $1 = $.49

White shirt $3.74 on clearance – Target coupon for $3 = $.74

All total I spent $7.30 and saved $9.42!

Key learnings:

* Look for the smallest size package (ex: Tums) and use that to your advantage!

* Look for clearance (ex: nail polish, shirt) and can sometimes find something you get for nearly free!

I had more coupons but they weren’t that good of a deal on things I don’t use that often – so I left them on the shelves with the products for others to use.

Next up – Walgreens! Now with Walgreens they have the Register Rewards – where you buy something and get the RR when you check out. It’s free money to use next time you go to Walgreens. No card is needed. This one took planning ahead because I went through the ad from the Sunday paper and then found coupons to match where I could. I forgot to take a pic of my first trip – but I’ll detail here. I had to go to a 2nd store because the 1st was out of the hair things. Here we go!

Scrunci Hair Bands – On sale for $1.50 each, Buy 2 get $3 in Register Rewards = FREE

Walgreens Brand Perfection Tampons – 8 pack on sale for $1.50. Get $1.50 in RR = FREE

Irish Spring Deodorant – On sale for $3, Buy 2 get $4 in RR + Manufacturer Coupon $1 = $1

All total I spent $9.50 and came home with $8.50 in Register Rewards. I’ll use these next week on stuff in their ad so basically I got all of the above for $1!

And lastly, my old favorite, CVS! They have something similar to the RR but they’re called Extra Bucks. You do have to use the free CVS card to get them. I had $12 in Extra Bucks from last week’s purchases – so I started with that. Here are the deals:

Soft soap/Mennen/Irish Spring – Buy 3 products, get $3 in Extra Bucks

Softsoap Body Wash $3 – $1 Manufacturer Coupon = $2

Softsoap Foaming Hand $2 – $1 Manufacturer Coupon = $1

Lady Speed Stick Deodorant $2.79 – .50 Manufacturer Coupon = $2.29

Spent $5.29 – got back $3 in Extra Bucks = $2.29 for all 3!

Kotex 18 ct Tampons $3.49, Earn $2 Extra Bucks + $1 Manufacturer Coupon = $.49

Crest Pro Health Toothpaste $2.99, Earn $2 Extra Bucks + $1 Manufacturer Coupon = FREE

Renu Contact Lens Solution $7.86, Earn $6 Extra Bucks + $2 Manufacturer Coupon = FREE

Papermate 10 pack of pens $1.99, Earn $1.99 Extra Bucks = FREE

All total I spent $12 in Extra Bucks + $7 cash and came home with $15 more in Extra Bucks!

On my trip as a whole I spent:

Target – $7.30

Walgreens – $9.50 ($8.50 RR)

CVS – $6.90 ($15 EB)

Cash out of pocket – $23.70

Extra Bucks & Register Rewards for Next Week – $23.50

THAT MEANS I PAID 20 CENTS FOR EVERYTHING I GOT HERE!!!

And it’s all things I will use! I’d love to hear some of your stories of great deals you got! I’m really excited to keep the momentum going and use my free money to get more free stuff next week!

Oh my head is spinning at this one! There is now a new Target Coupon Policy. I’m glad to see them finally taking initiative for not allowing store to store policy but more corporate, but, these changes are totally off the wall if ya ask me.

Buy One Get One Free Coupons (BOGO):

• BOGO coupons cannot be combined (i.e. you cannot use two BOGO coupons on two items and get both for free). Unless stated otherwise on the coupon, the use of one Buy One Get One Free coupon requires that two of the valid items are presented at checkout of which one item will be charged to the guest and the 2nd item will be discounted by its full retail price.

• A second cents-off coupon of the same type cannot be redeemed towards the purchase price of the first item.

• If a Target BOGO coupon is used, one additional manufacturer coupon maybe used on the first item.

• If a Manufacturer BOGO coupon is used, one additional Target coupon may be used on the first item.

Be sure to leave a comment below with any questions as this is confusing!

No “stacking” isn’t placing your coupons neatly into a stack {although, many cashiers love it when you do!}. Instead, “stacking” is defined as combining a  manufacture coupon with a store coupon for additional savings. Many stores are now allowing customers to “stack” and I’ve become addicted to doing so!

First a manufacture coupon is any coupon that states “manufacture coupon” on the top next to the expiration date. These can be peelies, blinkies, coupon found inside packaging, printable coupon, etc. (If you are new to coupons and not sure what a peelie or blinkie is, check out the Coupon Terms and Abbreviations article to set ya straight!)

In the Cincinnati area, you can “stack” coupons at Target, Meijer, Kroger, CVS and Walgreens. Here’s how:

1. Currently Target offers Target Mobile coupons as well as Target Printable coupons along with Target coupons found in Sunday newspaper inserts (typically regional). These coupons can be combined with a manufacture coupon. Target is my absolute favorite store to shop and combine coupons. I often shop the end caps first, looking for clearance items that I can “stack” coupons with to score deep discounts!

2. Meijer was one of the first stores that I shopped and “stacked” coupons. I couldn’t believe how easy it was, until they made changes to their coupon policy. However, you can combine Meijer Mealbox printable coupons and MPerks with a manufacture coupon to stretch your dollars while shopping at Meijer. I’ve often scored free condiments at Meijer by “stacking”. Please note that Meijer will only double two identical coupons. Therefore you may have to do multiple transactions to maximize your savings.

3. Kroger is the store that is a little harder to “stack” at. See Kroger offers Kroger store coupons but they are typically on store brand items. However, there are often times that you’ll receive a $3 off $15 purchase in Frozen Foods, Produce, etc. coupons. This is how you are able to “stack” with a manufacture coupon.

4. CVS is great because you obtain CVS coupons in store by scanning your Extra Care card at the kiosk and by receiving the CVS newsletter. These coupons often contain $4 off the purchase of $20 or more and this is BEFORE coupons! This will allow you to pay a low out of pocket cost and will surely get you addicted to saving money!

5. Walgreens is great for “stacking” and it’s so easy! The most important thing to remember while “stacking” at Walgreens is that you must have a coupon for every item in your cart. This often calls for adding a few “filler” items (inexpensive item like gum, candy bar, etc.) to your order. At the front of the store (by the weekly ads) are the Walgreens Instant Value Coupon Booklet. These are Walgreens store coupons and can be combined with a manufacture coupon!

Be sure to read the Understanding The CVS Game,  How to Shop Smart At Target Stores, Krogering 101, Your Guide To Maximizing Savings at Walgreens articles if you are just starting out!

I know several of you have complained about your negative shopping experiences at the Beechmont Target location. Today, was my most unpleasant experience and won’t be shopping the store any time soon.

Here’s what happened:

All of my merchandise had been scanned and the cashier was beginning to scan my coupons. Another cashier had been standing at the end of the checkout aisle and they made “eye contact”. I knew what that meant, COUPONS….GREAT!

I kept my eye on the register making sure coupons were being deducted properly and trying to keep Mini Me entertained as well. The cashier handed me a coupon back and said “We can’t take this, it’s not a manufacture coupon, it’s a Kroger coupon”. I kindly replied “No, it’s a manufacture coupon with a Kroger logo. It states right here MANUFACTURE COUPON”.

The cashier on the end called for the Store Manager. I thought to myself, good we can educate a cashier. NOPE! I was ever so wrong. The store manager capped an attitude and said “This store lost over $3,000 due to misuse of coupons and we don’t accept coupons from other stores.” She then headed to the register behind me to ring up another customer. I said “No, this states it is a manufacture coupon, if I would’ve cut the Kroger logo off the bottom of the coupon, you would’ve taken it. The cashier never even tried to scan the coupon. If your not suppose to accept a coupon or have overage, the coupon will beep”. She exlaimed “NO!” and refused to speak with me. I even tried to show her the Target Coupon Policy that was in my binder and she wasn’t having it.

A customer behind me even stated the same thing I did. She said she cuts the Kroger emblem off the Kroger mailers and the accept. So if you are reading this shout out to ya

A few coupons later the cashier again handed me a $2/1 Nivea coupon that was again from a Kroger mailer, but, a MANUFACTURE COUPON. This time I didn’t even argue, I was already frustrated, had a crabby 3 year old and was getting aggravated.

I ended up purchasing all the items. Usually, I would’ve given the items back, but, I wanted out of there and didn’t feel like digging for the product. Yeah, it was $3, but, it was better I left.

After I loaded the truck up, I called and spoke with corporate. I had asked the customer service rep if Target stores accept a MANUFACTURE COUPON with a KROGER LOGO. It took her a few minutes because she had to look it up, but, the answer came out to be YES!

Bottom line, I was right and the employees and store manager were WRONG! I left my name and number and filed a report against the store. The district manager was going to be receiving the complaint and looking into the situation. The CSR did say, if this ever happens again, call corporate while in the store and let them speak with the store manager.

Now, I wanna know. What are some situations that have happened to you at ANY Target store? I’ll be collecting this information and taking it to my contact at Target.

Many of you have sent me an email asking how to print the Target Store Printable Coupons. So, here’s a tutorial:

1. Head over to Target.com.

2. Head to the bottom of the page and click on “Coupons” under “Target Stores”.

3. Select the coupon(s) you’d like to print by clicking the red box that says “Select to Print”.

4. Once you’ve selected your coupons click “Print Selected Coupons” at the bottom of the page.

The only negative thing with printing these coupons is that you won’t know if it’s a Target Store Printable or a Manufacture’s Printable until it’s printed, unless the coupon states otherwise.
