Wow, that's a lot of skittles! I can just hear your daughter "but Mom - they are marked downnnnn!" lol. Not that I know your daughter...

Got a great deal on blueberries today - almost as good as your blueberry post (I had to look it up and compare). I posted it on my blog, of course :)

I really wish I could save more than I already do. But the only stores I have to choose from are Winn Dixie, Super WalMart, Target, CVS, Walgreens, Rite Aid (which I've never shopped at) and local grocery store which prices really high. We have Dollar General, but they don't accept online coupons. No Kroger, Randalls, Publix... Any advice?

I know it is hard when you don't have the same stores or even stores that double and triple. It makes it harder since there is not the competition from surrounding stores.

I know there is a blog "attention target shoppers" who posts all the Target deals each week with coupon matchups and it is very helpful.

With the lack of deals at the drug stores it makes it harder too for stretching the money.

CVS has milk for $2.69/gal this week and earns $1 ecb. I found this out by suprise when i used my free coupon this week!

GASP-you paid $3.19 for oreo?
you're such a good mommy. I only buy cookies with coupons that go with milk or I get RRs or ECBs back.

Glad you found the skittles, too! Chad couldn't pass them up. He only picked up one bag, though. Girls dug into them this afternoon!

Bummer the gift cards are all gone. I love your blog. I have been couponing for about 9 months. Our savings are close, but I have a higher out of pocket. I figure that just takes time to learn how to really make the most of the deals. Let Daphne know Rite-aid I heard has really good deals. I am revamping my website, but I started one where I take $50.00 of my personal budget and turn it into the most retail value for my local food pantry. Last month I spent 51, and turned it into 195.00 retail value. 1st month. We will see if this month beats it :)
Just wanted to say hi, and let you know..Great Couponing!

Take Care
Tina
