I looked at next week's RA ad. Are they getting political? There's a picture of a doggy dish and the name on it is TUCKER.

According to YT, we've got another CG deal next week at CVS. This time it's $10 ecb wyb 3 plus a mystery coupon.

I doubt it, at least not leaning right, because the ads are full of Pride colors. They probably didn't really think it through or maybe it's the name of someone's kid or dog. Or did you mean they were implying that Tucker is a dog?

Yep. A subliminal thing where you don't really notice it but the association clicks in your brain. I don't think that putting TUCKER on the dog dish was an accident but RA does so many dumb things that I guess it could've been. RA has bigger issues to deal with than Tucker Carlson. Staying open would be one of them.

Have you been shopping at RA this week? There are some amazing deals. I was doing this one today and I was surprised that there was still stock in the stores.

8 Arm & Hammer detergents $32
4 Vaseline lip $6.50
2 CG eye pencils $7 - $8 mq's
$3 NT x 2 - $3/2 mq x 2
- 5/25 x 2
$15 BC wyb $50
= $27.50 and get $33 Bonus Cash

Not a bad way to roll and I definitely needed to do some rolling this week. There are lots of different scenarios to do depending on what you need and what coupons you have. I didn't use any A&H coupons because they've been a nightmare at the register and I don't need the headache. Plus, it's already a mm.

Not yet this week. Thank you for the ideas. My husband freaked out about me not contributing money to the family (long story and not totally true, but the brunt does fall on him). So I am trying to spend $0 money or close to it. I'm pretty miserable. It's tough when the person you are married to doesn't like who you are and is embarrassed by you. Sorry to dump this here.

I also went to Wags because they gave me yet another 1/10 offer. They had Native deo on clearance for $1.34 and Jergens instant tan for $1.49. Probably unique to the store I was at. I just got the deo. Then I went to CVS. Need I say more? Quite the shopping day...

Most people don't understand why we coupon. My life is a total mess but when I coupon I'm the smartest person in the world. I hate it when somebody tries to take that away from me. I'm so very sorry for your situation.

Oh, sweetie, I am so sorry that you are feeling this.

I havent worked outside the home since I have been married (2001) and we dont even have kids. That raises some eyebrows for some people. However I am very fortunate in that my husband sees my contributions and wouldnt change a thing as long as we are happy. However, every so often I feel the side eye from society and feel pretty worthless with "only" my "hobbies" a.k.a. couponing, crafting and volunteer work.

If possible, let your husband see what you are saving. Take him on a well planned trip or two so he can see that instead of paying $50 for HBA that you will need and use, you pay only taxes. I know you had a good trip recently with pet food with him there. A few more of those and he might turn a bit. Hugs.

It's funny how the people who criticize us for couponing are the ones who want all of the free things we get. I don't know why you spend so much time couponing but can you give me some toilet paper and Tide...

That is too high for day old bakery items. They should be at least half off.
The is a store near me that has an employee drive around to the surrounding neighborhood every Shabbat to hand out all the leftover bakery and prepared food items. It's cute to see all the kids lining up but last week they "didn't have any cookies" (one of the kids told me that). I'm happy to see that they choose to give stuff away rather than waste it.

Couponing is fun and takes some serious math skills, but also a high tolerance for BS and verbal abuse. So many people are seriously MEAN about coupons. Just because I can save decent money on stuff I use doesn't take away from anyone else and doesn't make their cost higher. It's NOT MY FAULT that someone else doesn't understand the math and isn't willing to put in the time.

And of course they want it for FREE and don't want to pay even a nominal amount to cover the taxes, coupons, time and effort. Couponing is a serious skill.

I did my morning run to Vons to get a bagel. The supervisor was having a fit over a dollar coupon in the previous transaction (that happened before I got there). The cashier was like shut up about it already, it's a dollar and I'm like shut up, I just want the cashier to ring me up instead of listening to you. It sounded like it was a J4U that came off but wasn't supposed to and the supervisor wanted to tear down the display because people were ripping off Vons or something like that. It just takes one bad apple to spoil bunch. Here we go with irony again. The supervisor actually thinks that she's being helpful. She's been there forever and always has a really bad attitude. The answer with her is always no regardless of what the question is.
