Thanks for inspiring me every week. My shopping has improved significantly since starting to read your blog. I don't do as well as you, but I am sure it comes with time.
ReplyDeleteOn another note, I got $60 in rebates this week!!!!
Info on another site is that Chase Bank will no longer cash, even if you have the funds in an account, a non-Chase check. This policy will include rebate checks, which often seem to come from some off-beat bank. Last time I checked, a BOA teller wanted me to pay $4 to get cash for a check written on a customer's account. When I lived in Mid-Mo, I never was charged at the local BOA.
ReplyDeleteLisa - Wow, great job with the rebates. Don't say you don't do as well as I do. I seem to always forget to send rebates in.
ReplyDeletekas - I don't think any bank makes cashing a check easy. All you can to is deposit them.
Great job! LOVE your running totals!
ReplyDeleteThat's amazing! I am new to your blog. It's great- thanks. I am wanting to start couponing. I live in St. Louis also. If you had to pick one or two stores to start couponing at, which ones would you pick? It is kind of overwhelming to me so I thought I would try to start out at one, maybe two stores. But I want to get the best deals. Thanks so much!
ReplyDeleteDana - Welcome to the world of couponing. You have the right idea to start slow and learn as you go.
ReplyDeleteI started couponing at Walgreens. It can be the most confusing, but you can bring home a lot of products for very little money.
This week at Walgreens, print a Vaseline lotion coupon, purchase one for $5.49 and either use your $7 Register Reward for something else you need, or save it until next week.
