New Q Shoppers, Don't be Scared! You Can Do This!!

Quote from HeartSong : Sounds like you are addicted to couponing...welcome to the Coupon Addicts Club.

Now I am going to have to find a way to organize my coupons. Right now they are in a large letter envelope.. I will have to get an index-card type box and do it like my mama used to do.

Quote from NCSUFire : Alphabetical List of Unexpired Newspaper Coupons came from the 3rd post in this thread Drugstore and Grocery Store Index and Information Thread

I am looking for somewhere that has EXPIRED ones listed.
Anyone??

You might be out of luck. I think around here once they expire they get pulled from the list. Maybe check taylortown for the coupons that come out in previous inserts?

Could someone please point me in the right direction of where I can find the Wiki?
I would like to print the coupon for Monster Java to use at CVS. I searced for almost a hour. Thank you. My eyes are killing me!

The Wiki is located below the 1st post of every thread.
I tried looking around for your q but it looks like it's found on a tearpad in gas stations (a CVS addict can feel free to correct me).

Here is what is mentioned in the Wiki about the Java Monster q in the thread linked above:

"Save $1 off 2 any variety Java Monster (12-31-08) - gas station"

Hi,

You rock! I am a rookie CVSer, just went out of the country for a couple of months and forgot how to get the 3 off 15, 4 off 20coupons, could you please help?

Thanks a million! because of you and the other slick dealers, I was able to take a bunch of CVS stuff to my mother in China! She was very happy!

Sincerely,

Sherrie

The $3 off $15 and $4 off $20 seem to be card specific these days, meaning that if you don't get their in your E-mail account, it won't work for you at all.

The other way is to get them via CRT (i.e. $5/$30) if you are lucky.

Also, the other way is to see if the pharmacist at your local CVS have any $3/15 off while you are shopping. Sadly, many CVS stores hide these (especially in So Cal) as they don't want you having these coupons at all.

However, asking for them and providing your E-mail address is likely to only get you spam from lots of advertisers and is not allowed here.

Thank you Aperture!

I'm new to this forum, and I tried couponing many years ago because my mother was heavy into it. But the last few years I've been doing a combination of scratch cooking, with lots of generic purchases to stay in budget. But Hubby isn't a generics kind of guy, even though most of the time he wouldn't know it if he didn't see the package (not all the time though, I'm not nearly that good LOL).

I recently read a blog post about CVS'ing, and didn't even know a thing about it. I avoided drugstores because their prices were so much higher -- I had no idea this was going on 8^)

I started an account with my locals: CVS and Walgreens, and installed the coupon printer. I got my CVS card, but the site won't accept my number. I emailed them earlier, but I doubt I'll hear from them until the weekend is over.

I had plans of trying Walgreens after studying a few threads here, but I was a bit on the sick side until earlier today, so I decided to try tomorrow after ordering my Angel food. But many of the deals are expired now. I'll have to study my timing I suppose. But I'll check again tomorrow in case they have new specials up.

Thanks for the encouragement and lessons 8^)

If you scroll down to the bottom of the DS forum page there will be a blue bar. On the left, that blue bar says filter by category. If you pick CVS, it will pull up the all the CVS threads. (You can do the same for Walgreens aka WAGs too.) This helps because you will be able to see threads for tomorrow's deals, next week's deals and probably even the week after that. Most of the really good SD'ers plan their deals in advance so they can match up the coupons with the sales.

That was very helpful, thanks so much.

Shreela,

I am with you. I am a newbie to the couponing too. This is absolutely fascinating stuff. The stuff people are able to do is amazing. Hopefully we will become more comfortable and be able to figure it out as well. I started couponing just recently.. in the past weeks..and now I can't believe I paid full price for so long.

My major issue now is how in the world I am going to organize all these coupons.. And it does take forever to read threads and study up on all the different stores. It was exciting in the beginning but I am already worn out over it.

Good luck!

Oh Holly. There are whole threads here devoted to organizing them. Here is my fave way....And Hidn gets credit for showing me this....
