Here are the matchups for local stores!

CVS-Coupon Cravings has the deals here and Centsible Sawyer has more here

Meijer- Briana has the scoop here

Walgreens- The Centsible Sawyer has the deals for Wags here

That's all I've got for now......Happy Shopping!

Store Matchups!

Every week I am hoping to post coupon matching with local stores in my area. I am in Illinois, just outside of Chicago so we have Meijer, CVS, Walgreens, Jewel, and KMart. No Kroger or Rite-Aid though.

So here we go:

Meijer: Sara has the matchups for this week here

CVS: The Centsible Sawyer has the deals at CVS here

KMart: Super Doubling this week-check out CommonSense with Money here

And last but not least is Walgreens at BeCentsible here

I am hoping to find a good Jewel matchup for you all, but I may just do it myself, yes I have become a Jewelie the last few weeks and took most advantage of their recent spend 30 and get 15 back which I figured all on my own. I did it 3 times!! and since pampers were included, we are good for diapers for a little bit!

Free Suave Shampoo!

Today only (January 14th)- Register here for a coupon for a free bottle of Suave Shampoo. The girls especially like the Waterfall scent!

Hello All!

Hi! How are your savings going? Me-pretty good. I have not been blogging because my computer flatlined!! What a Christmas gift for me.....

So thanks to my really smart neighbor, I am back up and running and will be blogging even more than before. I also intend to keep better records for my savings, budget, and figuring out just where all our money went. Based on our budget, we should have more in savings, when instead it feels like we have more stuff around here. One of our large projects during break was to go thru every room and gather things for a garage sale. My husbands side of the garage is PACKED! We are hoping to sell enough stuff to go to the waterpark in Rockford this summer. I'll keep you updated.

Here are some things I am using to help keep me on track for a maximum saving year:

This is a great spreadsheet for entering your receipts and knowing your savings thanks to Mommy Snacks here
Also Kendra has a great budget worksheet here
and as always, keep clicking on those coupons over there on the right.....see them??? I have saved a lot by stacking these up with sale prices. You may not think that a few cents here and there help, but they do! You'll see when you start using these 2 worksheets! Well I am off to find you all some freebies!! Have a good day!
