Last transaction of 2010

I had to head out to Smiths this morning. I forgot about the P&G Rebate going on right now (ending today).  You need to spend $50.00 before coupons on Olay, Herbal Essences, Pantene, Covergirl or Clairol products. Well I was 16 CENTS short!!! Can you believe that?  So that is why I rushed out first thing this morning. I was only going to get one but they had a sale at Smiths if you purchase 4 participating products you will get an EXTRA $4 off your total. This was a GREAT transaction and a fantastic way to end the year. Check this out.

CSNstores Review....

I told you last month that I was asked to do a product review from CSNstores.com.

I was actually shocked at how many things CSNstores has to offer. You can find everything from cookware, Bar tables and stools for the den and everything in between.  The site is easy to navigate, you can easily find deep discounts and promotions, and if needed, the customer service is always available to help you out!

I chose the Black & Decker Spacemaker can opener.  I have been needing one for about a year now and just haven't gotten around to getting one.
I was actually surprised at all the features that this Can Opener has aside from what I expected... you know just a can opener; but I got a whole lot more.  It comes with a bag cutter, bottle opener and knife sharpener making this an all in one appliance that conveniently fits under the cabinet, which keeps my counter space uncluttered.
That's my kind of appliance!

All in all I am very happy with my experience with CSNstores and would definitely use them again.  They do have everything.

Extreme Couponing December 29 at 8pm on TLC

 

I don't know about you but I am excited to see what special tricks they have.

 Premieres Wednesday, December 29 at 8pm ET/PT on TLC

Americans throw away $57 billion worth of coupons every year. But for savvy savers, coupons can mean the difference between saving and spending thousands of dollars. On Wednesday, December 29 at 8 PM ET/PT, TLC will introduce four of the country's most coupon-obsessed savers who will do anything for a deal. Their game is simple - get as MUCH as possible for as LITTLE as possible. But these extreme couponers aren't just looking to save a few dollars here and there. Instead, they're looking to cash in on some serious savings and they're doing it by any means necessary - dumpster diving for coupons, charting weekly store circulars, creating elaborate math formulas and stocking up on as many products as possible. With over 367 billion coupons printed each year, the addictive art of smart shopping can be an extreme rush for any consumer.
Meet the shoppers of TLC's EXTREME COUPONING:
Nathan Engels - Villa Hills, KY - Cartographer

Nathan started clipping coupons four years ago when he and his wife took a closer look at their finances. Now, debt free with more than 10,000 items stockpiled in his garage, Nathan is preparing for the biggest haul of his life. On his latest visit to the supermarket, Nathan is leaving with over 2,000 items - his most massive checkout to date. With 1,100 boxes of cereal, 300 toothbrushes and 60 bottles of hand soap, Nathan is looking forward to topping himself and saving thousands of dollars in the process!

Retail value: $5,743.00 Nathan's cost after utilizing his coupons: $241.00 - 95% savings!

Joanie Demer - McKinleyville, CA - Stay at home mom

For Joanie, clipping coupons started out as a hobby three years ago. But just three months in, she quickly discovered the financial gratitude associated with smart shopping. Now, Joanie is known as "The Krazy Coupon Lady" and to satisfy her daily coupon cravings this stay-at-home mom collects more than 500 coupons each week by doing something most women won't do - she jumps in dumpsters! During her latest trip to the supermarket, she fills four carts full of 250 items including 40 boxes of pasta and 20 liters of soda.

Retail value: $638.64. Joanie's cost after utilizing her coupons: $2.64 - 98% savings!

Joyce House - Philadelphia, PA - Retired Nurse

Through careful planning and smart shopping, Joyce hasn't paid for a toothbrush, toothpaste or deodorant in 34 years. The savvy saver has been on her own since the age of 12 and at 15, was a single mother using coupons out of necessity. On her latest trip to the supermarket, Joyce brings along her daughter to teach her the basics of extreme couponing and ends up walking out of the store with hundreds of dollars in savings.

Retail value: $230.38. Joyce's cost after utilizing her coupons: $6.32.

Amanda Ostrowski - Cincinnati, OH - Storage Facility Manager
Amanda is a full-time Storage Facility Manger in Cincinnati, OH who spends up to 70 hours a week researching in-store promotions, clipping coupons and surfing the internet for the latest and greatest deals. She already has a stockpile of products from previous couponing ventures worth up to $15,000. But this extreme saver is most proud of her collection of toilet paper - over 3,000 rolls - enough to last the average couple about 40 years! Now, with the help of her husband, Amanda is preparing for her largest checkout ever consisting of nine baskets of food, beauty and pet products including 218 boxes of pasta, 268 containers of noodles, 100 bottles of sport drink and 150 candy bars.

Retail value: $1,175.33. Amanda's cost after utilizing her coupons: $51.67.
