REBATE: A return of a portion or the entire purchase price of a product. Rebates. I have such a love-hate relationship with rebates. I love that the manufacturer is offering to give me some or all of my money back. I hate that I am responsible for making sure I get my money back. In fact, I am so bad at submitting rebates that I have almost altogether given up on using them. But most of you are probably much more responsible than me (or less distracted?), so using rebates can become a nice little income revenue stream for your family. There is one type of rebate that couponers in the Northwest encounter: manufacturer's rebates. MANUFACTURER'S Keep Reading
The Ultimate Guide to Couponing in the Northwest: Know the coupon strategies {WALGREENS CATALINAS}
CATALINA: A coupon you get with your receipt at the register; usually triggered by a specific item that you purchased Now that you have mastered Grocery Store Catalinas, let's move on to Walgreens. Catalinas at Walgreens are called Register Rewards. A Register Reward (RR) prints when you purchase either a certain dollar amount of product or group of participating products or a certain number of products and is good for a certain dollar amount off your next purchase. Register Rewards print and function just like Grocery Store Catalinas, but, like everything Walgreens, is a bit... funkier. These deals are usually promoted in the weekly ad, Keep Reading
The Ultimate Guide to Couponing in the Northwest: Know the coupon strategies {GROCERY STORE CATALINAS}
CATALINA: A coupon you get with your receipt at the register; usually triggered by a specific item that you purchased This is when couponing in the Northwest gets fun. Catalinas, named after the company that manufacturers and maintains the machines, are the reason we score on groceries and household items. Catalinas print from the box-sized machine that sits either right next to the register (Safeway, Fred Meyer, Target, Walgreens) or on the counter right behind the cashier (Albertsons). WinCo and Walmart do not have Catalina machines. There are three types of Catalina (cat) coupons: An advertisement (Jiffy Lube, a website, etc.) A Keep Reading
The Ultimate Guide to Couponing in the Northwest: Know the coupon strategies {DOUBLE COUPONS}
DOUBLE COUPON: A store coupon that doubles the value of a manufacturer's coupon Double coupons are the primary way we are able to get free or almost free food and household items in the Pacific Northwest. You can only double a small amount of manufacturer's coupons per transaction at any PNW store, so it is inevitable that you will be doing multiple transactions, especially if there is a fantastic deal running on something your family regularly uses. When talking about double coupons, I'm always asked how many transactions someone needs to do. The answer: As many as you want and no more than that. It all depends on how much you want that item at Keep Reading
10 stockpile stocking stuffers (for all you procrastinators out there!)
OK, I'm the queen of procrastinators, so this post is for me! If you're looking for a way to fill your kid's stockings with as little out-of-pocket as possible, just hit your stockpile closet (or bin or shelf)! Here's a list of 10 items you can grab from your couponing stockpile that can be used as stocking stuffers on Christmas morning. 1. School Supplies -- Do you have leftovers from your summer buying adventures? School supplies play the part of art supplies for younger children (crayons, glue sticks, watercolors, colored pencils). School aged children would also love for new school supplies to replace the used ones. 2. Band-Aids -- What kid Keep Reading
Christmas Gift Guide: Gifts for toddlers
Let me start off by being very clear: small children do not need Christmas gifts. It may be fun for the adults to buy and give them, but toddlers don't really need toys. If you can believe it, we have very few special toys for our 14-month old. He just plays with the other children. And my pencil cup (unsharpened, don't worry). And his blanket. And my keyboard. We did have tons of toys for our oldest and as time as gone on, and more people have been added to our home, we have largely cleared out the toddler paraphernalia. Please don't be fooled into thinking that a small toddler needs "educational" toys. Talk and read to your kid and they will Keep Reading
