The. Best. CVS. Trip. Ever.
First of all, no one was in the store at…what, 9-something? Almost 10? to shuffle around and bump into with my massive coupon box. Secondly, they had everything in stock. EVERYTHING. That almost never happens at my CVS. I did it in three transactions, with a base start of $17.00 in [...]

Well, even with the crowds & parking, I can definitively say that Black Friday was worth it for me. The amounts I spent were all what I originally wanted to spend, but the quality of what I got was so much better than I anticipated! An out-of-this-world feeling for a year when we had to [...]

During my teenage years, I worked at the Discovery Channel Store in a NH mall. I watched as the hordes swarmed by, clamoring for deals at the gate as we furtively stocked register drawers. We never had any other than our standard clearance shelf filled with dusty emotive, New Age books, so while we had [...]

Only 2 minor mistakes: I forgot to pull out the Carnation Evaporated milk coupon (-$1.00, doubled), and I somehow left a Pillsbury coupon at [...]
Week in Review

We have not been good this week.
Dinners out. THREE random trips to the grocery store for non-pregnant people cravings…fresh mozzerella for a homemade margherita pizza, a box of cream puffs, and soda/milk/pumpkin pie/popcorn. The pizza would have turned out OK if I hadn’t made the crust WAY too thin, which resulted in us eating piles [...]

Match-Up Birthplaces
All the coupons you see come primarily from the Boston Globe, and often from the NH Union Leader Sunday Papers. There are sometimes slight differences, but are identical most weeks. The dates are the dates for each week's paper and the codes stand for the coupon inserts.
For example:
SS=SmartSource
RP=Red Plum
GM=General Mills
PG=Proctor & GambleI also use printable coupons from various manufacturer sites, as well as the sites coupons.com and smartsource.com. When this is the case, I'll add a link.
Finally, "tear-pad" and "blinkie" coupons are those found in the aisles at various stores...for a reasonably up-to-date list, check out the "tear-pad alert" below.
Circulars and in-store coupons can vary however. I base my sales data off of circulars and stores from the North Shore, except for Hannaford's, which I get from Southern NH.
