Great deal at Walmart

I got 2 Old Spice deodorants, 2 Old Spice body washes, and 8 packages for disposible razors.  I paid a total of $1.66 for all of this!!!!!!!  Here's the coupons I used...

razors - regular price $1.97, there's a coupon at http://www.coupons.com/ to save $6 on 2, I used 4 coupons (cause me to have $8 overage)
Old Spice - used a buy one body wash (regular price $3.87), get deodorant (regular price $2.18) free from the coupon inserts from 8/28

I used the overage from the razors to cover the cost of the body wash.  I was really pleased that I got all this stuff for very little money!!!

Happy Shopping

Pizza Rolls 10 for $10 @ Hy-Vee 9/1

Just saw an ad for a 1-day sale at Hy-Vee on Thursday 9/1.  They will be having pizza rolls on sale at 10 for $10.  There was a coupon in the 8/7 inserts for $.40 off 2.  I have not seen a printable coupon for the pizza rolls online, but I will keep looking.  However, if you don't have a coupon, the pizza rolls are still a great deal at $1 each.

UPDATE:  if you go to couponnetwork.com you can print out two coupons for $.40 off 2 Totino's pizza rolls.  You could get 4 boxes of pizza rolls for $.80 each!

Welcome!!!

Welcome to Tara and Lori's blog.  We LOVE coupons!!!  And we LOVE a good deal!!!  We hope that this blog will help you to get the most for your money, by watching sales and using coupons.  Our goal with this blog is to show you what coupons are available out there, how to stack your coupons, where the good deals are, and anything else related to coupons.  Couponing is our new addiction!!!

First, we recommend getting your hands on several Sunday papers, here's a couple of suggestions on how to get more...
-ask family and friends to save coupons for you
-fill-up your car with gas on Sundays at Kum & Go and receive a free paper (must spend at least $15)
-coupon share with someone who also coupons
-or you could go dumpster diving at the recycling center for coupons

Once you get your coupons, you will need to come up with a way to organize them.  There is no right or wrong way to do this.  And the way I organize my coupons might not work for you.  This is a topic we will discuss in later posts. 

Now it's time to find the deals and SHOP!!!!

Hope you enjoy our blog,
Tara and Lori
