I will be sending out envies to Norma and the military this week. This is the least I can do for them. My oldest DS always prays for them. I think that they do not get the recognition they deserve.
Kathy, Janet - thanks for your kind words about my work with the coupons. Now, the Coupons have "Taken on a Life of their Own!" The print copy of the newspaper article was front page news and then a full page on page 6 inside the paper. The local TV Channel saw and read the article and called today for an interview. We did that at 4PM along with a photographer and a couponer friend. I thought I'd like to bring someone else with me so theyc could understand how we exchange coupon locally. It worked out well and the coupon's pre-teen girls are so excited that Mom is going to "Be a TV Star". My DAV (Disabled American Veterans) Auxiliary is really getting some nice free advertisement.
I went to the K-Mart double coupons sale today. Was disappointed. They would not take the $2 vitamin coupons I had even though I said I knew they would not be doubled, only up to and including $1. I have a few other coupons I'll use tomorrow and will talk to the top manager as he was not there today. I never heard of a store not taking the coupon for the face value except here in Anderson, SC they don't like internet coupons and will not take them. Don't have a link for the TV story which will air on 1/5 at 6PM and 11PM, WSPA TV.
LoriMae, different stores have different rules about printable coupons. My supermarket will not take them.
Today I went to take advantage of the CVS deals of the week. I got:
4 double-size packs of Stayfree pads
1 Fructis hairspray
2 Palmolive dish soap
1 box band-aids
I had coupons for all but the band-aids but needed those to make the $20 minimum J&J purchase so I could get: $12.50 back in Extra care bucks!!! Plus I had BOGO coupons on the Stayfree. So for all that stuff I spent $15.99 (saved $23.89 in store sale and coupons) and then they handed me back $12.50 in ECBs for my next purchase. I intend to use those to restock the medicine cabinet--something I always do at the beginning of the year.
Good deal Barb. I'm planning on picking up 2 Aleve CVS has on sale with Extra Care Bucks and there is a manu rebate also so with my coupons they should end up being free.
