I have recently had some good and not-so-good things happen that has made me realize that I need to take some TIME and UNPLUG.
This blog is fun.
This blog helps people.
But it's time I take a chance to unplug for a bit.
I'm hoping it is just until after the holidays and then I can be back in force, blogging about great deals once again, but I'm making no promises. I do know that I enjoy blogging, but I always said once it became something I felt like I HAD to do instead of WANT to do, then I would call it quits.
The fact is that my family and home has to come first right now. I have three little ones (two of them VERY LITTLE) and this is just one thing I have to let go for now.
Most of my readers have come from Facebook (thanks friends!) so I will post an update when I decide the time is right to plug in again.
Coupon Institute: I will end with next week's post on Grocery Store shopping. I always intended to re-teach the lessons at the beginning of 2010, so that is still my tentative goal, as well as completing the "course."
Thanks for hanging in and supporting me! Keep me bookmarked and check in every now and then to see what is new!!

Week 5: Scoring great deals at Target+video link
As you can read from Target's Coupon policy, you can use TWO coupons per item--one Target, one manufacturer. This makes it very easy to get great deals at Target--food there is sometimes cheaper than the grocery stores! Here are some tips for Target shopping:
1. Profile your cashier--Target cashiers can make or break you. I have found some cashiers to push my coupons right while others are so unsure of what to do, they call someone over for every coupon. My suggestion is to look for two types of cashiers--older women or teenage boys. The older women always seem to "cheer me on" as I give them my coupons and watch my total go down. The younger boys are (often) brought out from the stock room or gathering carts and when I seem to know more than they do about the coupon policy, they push my coupons through as well.
2. Know the difference in "Limit one per transaction" and "Limit one per item" wording on coupons. Target coupons usually say "limit one per transaction" while manufacturer Q's usually limit you to one per item, but not per transaction. Read your coupons carefully.
3. Go with a plan BUT take your coupon binder and be flexible. Target prices vary widely from store to store nationwide. Laundry detergent might be on temporary price cut in Alabama, but not in California. Even within the same state, Target's sales might vary. It is always good to go with a plan, but this is the store where I also carry my binder, just in case. Other stores, I simply carry my small organizer with just the coupons I need.
4. Print the Target coupon policy and carry it with you. In case your profiling of your cashier has not gone well, you might need this on hand so they can be reminded of the rules.
5. Target now (as in JUST THIS WEEK) has started to limit how many coupons you can print per computer to just two. Before it was unlimited. Here is the new info:
This is what they now state under one of the questions on their help page "Many of our coupons have print limits – per guest and in total. If/when you exceed those limits, the coupon will no longer appear for you or you may receive a messaging stating “you have exceeded your household limit” or “this coupon is no longer available”." You can check out more details on this here.
Here is the link for Target coupons. I have updated my Printable Coupons link in my sidebar to add this new link.
Lastly, my favorite blogger, Hip2save has a great video on Target shopping. She shows you how to find deals and combine coupons to get things for free or very little. Watch how she explores every part of the store to find deals! Love that gal!
So what have you found for a steal at Target lately?

Coupon Institute Week 5: Target Coupon Policy
Here is the Target Coupon Policy direct from a customer service rep that I emailed recently:
When accepting coupons, we use the following guidelines:
- We accept two kinds of coupons: Target-issued and manufacturer-issued.
- We'll accept one Target coupon and one manufacturer coupon for the same item, unless either coupon prohibits it.
- We can't give cash back if the face value of a coupon is greater than the purchase value of the item; in this case, we're able to adjust the value of the coupon to equal the price of the item.
- We can't accept coupons from other retailers, or coupons for products not carried in our stores.
- All valid coupons should be presented to the cashier while you're checking out.
For questions about using a specific coupon, we encourage you to stop by Guest Service and ask to speak with the Guest Service Team Leader. They'll do their best to help while you're in the store. If you still have questions after speaking with them, please call our Guest Relations team at (800) 440-0680. Either way, we're here to help!

Sick, but not dead
Wow. I am sorry for the lack of deals and freebies this week. I decided Wednesday night (as I have been battling a cold all week) that this week would be a "do over" next week. There is no use trying to attempt to salvage it now, so I'm taking the rest of the week off to recover, get family stuff done and get things ready for next week's blog posts again.
Thank you, dear readers, for emailing to check on me.
Target coupon policy, coupon stacking rules, deals and freebies to come. Thanks for hanging in there.

Target deals--Wii games and more
Okay, so I could tell you how I scored $98 of stuff last week at Target for $52 and NEXT WEEK you are going to learn how saving at Target works. IT IS CRAZY.
Here is an example. Remember the Target Toy book I posted about here? Well now the coupons are available to print here! And here you can view the Toy catalog for the holidays.
There is a $10/2 Wii games coupon--paired with their weekly sale of Buy 2 Wii games, get 1 free, this is going to be an AWESOME DEAL.
Some games start at $14.99
Buy 3 Wii games at $14.99=$42.97
Minus Buy 2 get one free=$28.98
-$10/2 coupon=$18.98
3 Wii games for $6.33 each!
Even paired with the more expensive Wii games, this is a killer deal with the coupon!
Just wait until next week.....we will learn more about Target coupons and how to really maximize your savings there. I am constantly amazed that I can save so much at Tar-jay.

Home Depot Kid's Workshops
I know I have mentioned the Lowe's workshops for kids, but Home Depot has them too. Home Depot's are the first Saturday of each month. In my honest opinion, they are more difficult than Lowe's, so if you aren't real handy, have your child go with someone who is. I seem to always put the darn thing together backwards. My daughter will go with her PawPaw this weekend for this project.
No signups necessary, but that also means first come, first served. The workshops are 9-12, but I try to get there by 10, just to be safe. My local store ALWAYS runs out by about 11am.
Kids will get an apron, goggles, and the project. Once completed, they will receive a certificate and an achievement pin.

Coupon Institute Week 4 --CVS shopping basics
Compared to Walgreens, CVS has the easiest to understand policy.
Hopefully you have signed up for an Extra Care Card. If you have not, do it NOW. Also make sure you sign up for email alerts--you will get more money saving coupons (like $4 off a $20 purchase, $3 off a $15 purchase, etc...) via email and those are how you really score at CVS!
Here are the basics on the Extra Care Bucks program:
Hopefully you have signed up for an Extra Care Card. If you have not, do it NOW. Also make sure you sign up for email alerts--you will get more money saving coupons (like $4 off a $20 purchase, $3 off a $15 purchase, etc...) via email and those are how you really score at CVS!
Here are the basics on the Extra Care Bucks program:
- You earn 2% back on purchases in store and online. Every quarter, your total earned will print out on the bottom of your receipt.
- You can earn 1 ECB for every 2 prescriptions filled
- You can earn ECBs for buying certain advertised products (much like Wags RR's.) For example if Secret deoderant is advertised at $2.49 and you get $2.49 in ECB's to use on your next purchase, it is as good as FREE. You goal is to "roll" your ECB's as you have seen in my $5 Challenges to keep your OOP as low as possible.
UNLIKE Walgreens, the ECB's are NOT like a coupon, so there is no worry with a "coupon to item 1:1 ratio" I told you with Walgreens.
There are 4 types of coupons you can use at CVS:
- $/$$: These are those special coupons you might get via email or in store for a dollar amount off your total purchase amount.
- Manufacturer coupons: Use them just like you would at any store
- CVS coupons: You can "stack" a CVS coupon with a Manufacturer coupon
- ECB's: These are like cash and will print out at the bottom of your receipt.
To maximize your savings, hand over your coupons in this order:
- $/$$--If your total is right at that amount (if you are using, say, a $4/$20 Q) your other coupons could make it fall below the $20 amount. So hand this over first!
- CVS Coupons
- Manufacturer Coupons
- ECB's--You can't use ECB's on sales tax, so hand these over last. You will also NOT get change if there is overage, so plan carefully before heading out to the store!
Always be on the lookout for coupons--especially from the "magic machine" located right inside the door. Sound fun, right? Well the "magic machine" is a red box, usually located right inside the front door, and my CVS has another one in the middle of the store too. It is generally used to "price check" items by scanning the barcode on the item. However, make sure you scan your Extra Care Card each time you go to CVS on this machine because you never know what you might get! (hence the "magic"). Sometimes it will print out your quarterly ECB's earned or a $/$$ coupon (love those!) or CVS store coupons. You just never know what you are going to get, so scan each time you walk in the door!
