Bath & Body Works Free Gift with purchase 4/30 Only!


Here is another great Bath & Body works deal if you can’t make it out today.

Look at what Bath & Body Works posted on their Facebook page:

“We ♥ surprise and delight — so we want to share the love. This Saturday only, come to the I ♥ Fragrance Event to get your FREE GIFT with any Signature Collection purchase. It’s a $15.50 value! While supplies last. See participating stores for details.”

As far as I can tell there is no size restriction or minimum dollar amount you have to spend. So you could purchase the 2 oz. Into the Wild Body Lotion for $1. The Free Gift is a tote and full size Into the Wild Body Lotion!

Here is a great scenario if you don’t mind spending a few extra bucks (and if they allow you to do this):

Buy 2 Travel Size (3 oz.) Signature Collection Body Lotions $5
Use the Free Signature Collection Travel Size Item with Any Purchase here
Pay $5.00, get 2 travel size body lotions AND the free tote and full size Into the Wild Body Lotion!

Event is between 1pm – 5pm, Saturday (4/30), while supplies last!

UPDATED!! Sunday Coupon Preview 5/1

This is a great week for you to start couponing! There are going to be 4 inserts in this Sunday’s newspaper, (2) Smart Source inserts, (1) Red Plum insert, and (1) P&G insert. There are rumors going around stating that some regions will have an additional insert from Pepsi. Keeping my fingers crossed!!

In some areas (not sure about Cincinnati, but St. Louis no longer does it), you can pick up the Sunday paper for $1 at the Dollar Tree. If someone wants to check it out and let me know, that would be great! Mary has reported that the Cincinnati Dollar Tree no longer does this. Thanks Mary!


UPDATE: The St. Louis Paper received the Pepsi Insert as well as an additional Target coupon book!! Hopefully we can find some great match-ups with all these coupons!

You can check out what coupons will be in this Sunday’s paper at Sunday Coupon Preview.

Welcome

WELCOME!!

Before we get started, I must say that I will be posting a lot of information to take in all at once. Don’t try to learn it all from Day 1. It can be very overwhelming and you will get discouraged, and no one wants that! That being said, I have created a “Couponing 101” tab that you can access anytime, so that you can learn at your pace!

My #1 recommendation for those just starting out is don’t feel like you have to get EVERY deal at EVERY store. You will love it for the first few weeks, but you will get burnt out rather fast.

Once you determine which store you want to focus on, read and understand the store coupon policy. Most store policies can be found online or you can ask for one at customer service the next time you are in the store. Below are store policies that I have found online:






A lot of people recommend printing off each store’s policy and keeping it with you so that if you run into problems during checkout, you can reference the policy. I personally do not do this because I feel that 9 times out of 10 the problem can be solved by asking for a manager. If I come across a problem that cannot be resolved after speaking with the manager, I choose to pass on the deal. There is little out there that I feel is worth arguing with someone in the middle of the store about. You decide what works best for you.

Couponing does take time. You will need to decide how much time you want to put into this. I’m hoping that by putting this website together that you will be able to get some great deals with very little effort and time on your part.

I’m so glad that I can share all these great deals with you! If you ever have a question, don’t hesitate to ask!
