Hot New Coupons for October!

October 1, 2009 by Tara Kuczykowski 5 Comments

Save with Coupons It’s October 1st, and you know what that means . . . new coupons! Coupons.com and Smartsource both release a new batch of coupons at the beginning of every month!

Top brands this month include Special K, Pull Ups and Snuggle. The best coupons always go fast, so don’t wait for a sale matchup if you see something you know you will use. Most people don’t realize that there is an overall print limit in addition to the per computer limit, so be sure to print them now because there’s a good chance that they won’t be around by the time a great sale hits!

Here are just a few of my faves from each site:

:: Coupons.com

$0.50/1 Steamfresh Lightly Sauced Vegetable or Pasta Variety

$1/1 Snuggle Fabric Softener or Sheets

$1/1 Special K Blueberry Cereal

$1/1 Special K Protein Shakes

$1/1 Special K Bars

:: SmartSource.com

$2/2 Pull Ups Flushable Moist Wipes

$0.50/2 Pillsbury Refrigerated Pie Crusts

$0.75/2 Pillsbury Refrigerated Holiday Cookies

$1/2 Hershey’s Bliss Bags

$3/1 World’s Best Cat Litter

There are many more great coupons, but obviously you should check them out for yourself. I’ll be matching them up with sales over the next week of course, but in the meantime you may want to print out your favorites in case they don’t last!

And don’t forget to head over to the new Deal Seeking Mom Coupon Database, where you can search available coupons and even create your own Personal Coupon Box to keep track of the coupons in your stash!

My Fantastic $15 CVS Shopping Trip

October 1, 2009 by Tara Kuczykowski 54 Comments

Deal Seeking Mom $15 CVS Trip
I headed to CVS this morning to film a new Watch Me Score! segment for WalletPop, and I had such a fantastic trip that I wanted to give you all a sneak preview of my savings!

I got everything you see here for . . . $15.55, including tax!!! AND I have $10 in ECBs from the P&G deal this week to spend on my next shopping trip.

I was lucky enough to find a stack of the Reinventing Beauty magazine inserts on the newspaper rack, so I was able to get all of the Fruitopia and Viologie shampoo and conditioner pictured free after coupons! Note that the coupons do state one per customer, which I did not realize prior to checking out. But the manager was gracious enough to make an exception for me this time.

Here’s what I got:

(3) Tide Stain Release Liquid at $4 ea. (reg. $4.49)
(3) Tide Stain Release Gel Packs at $4 ea. (reg. $4.49)
(1) Dawn Dishwashing Liquid at $1 (reg. $1.99)
(3) Mom’s Best Oatmeal at $1 ea.
(2) CVS AA Batteries at $2.99 (BOGO)
(6) Chunky Soup at $3.19 (BOGO)
(4) Cheerios Single Serve Bowls at $1 ea.
(2) Fruitopia Shampoo at $1.99 ea. (reg. $3.99)
(2) Fruitopia Conditioner at $1.99 ea. (reg. $3.99)
(2) Viologie Shampoo at $1.99 ea. (reg. $3.99)
(2) Viologie Conditioner at $1.99 ea. (reg. $3.99)

And here’s how I did it:
(1) $5/$25 CVS purchase coupon
(1) FREE Tide Stain Release coupon (from BlogHer)
(3) $1.50/1 Tide Stain Release (from various magazines)
(2) $1/1 Tide Stain Release (from in-store machine)
(1) $0.25/1 Dawn, exp. 10-31-09 (P&G 9/27/09)
(3) $0.75/1 Mom’s Best Naturals printable
(3) FREE Chunky Soup coupon (can’t recall where came from)
(4) $1/1 Cheerios printable
(4) $2/1 Fruitopia coupons (Reinventing Beauty Magazine)
(4) $2/1 Viologie coupons (Reinventing Beauty Magazine)

Retail price on everything before sales and coupons was $91.97! I paid just $15.55 (including tax) after coupons, and I received $10 in ExtraCare Bucks to use on a future transaction!!!

How did you do at CVS this week?
