New to CVS? Be sure to read Smart Shopping at CVS

Don’t forget to pick up your Green Bag Tag and use it!

How to use CVS to “Coupon to Disney”:

• Save on items that you normally buy. You can usually get free shampoo, conditioner, razors, toothbrushes, etc here. I also find that they have fairly cheap soda too.
• After you have shopped here a few weeks, you will start to build up your ECBs. CVS usually has 1 or 2 ‘money making’ deals a week. By using ECBs to pay for items, you essentially eliminate your out of pocket costs and get everything you buy at CVS for ‘free’.
• Use your ECBs to pay for items that are eligible for rebates. When the check arrives, deposit it into your fund!
• Use your ECBs to pay for items that you were going to pay cash for. Take the cash you were going to spend and deposit it into your fund!
• Be sure to read the Getting Started Couponing to Disney guide!

Create your personal shopping list: Click on the box next to each item you would like to purchase and then click on the print list button at the bottom to print your own personal shopping list! All prices on this list are per item.

There will be a 4 inserts in this Sunday’s paper.

• Smart Source Preview
• Smart Source #2 Preview
• Proctor and Gamble Preview
• Red Plum Preview

There are a lot of hot coupons in the paper. You might want to pick up some extras!

When you are getting started couponing, it can be hard to know how many papers to purchase. I’ve always suggested purchasing at least 4 papers. This is because when items go on sale buy one, get one free you will have enough coupons to get 2 deals.

I have also heard people suggest that you get one paper per person in your household plus an extra paper. So if you have 4 family members, you would buy 5 papers.

You can also read through the comments on this post to find out how many papers my readers buy and why.

Walmart has updated their Ad Match Guarantee policy online. They have put together a very easy to understand PDF version of the policy as well. Be sure to print one out and keep in your coupon binder/box.

The most significant change:

• You are NOT required to have the ad with you to match a price (although bringing the ad definitely saves on time at the register)
• Fresh produce and meat items will be matched pound for pound or item per item

Be sure to check out all the current Walmart deals. Plus don’t miss my massive under $1 Walmart list.
