The Coupon Junkie*

I haven't done any couponing trips lately other then the grocery stores. So tonight i felt like trying a trip there. I should have just stayed home! My Husband and I thought we could leave the kids with my mom for a quick trip up the road to the oh so wonderful Springfield, MA [Boston Rd.] store -- WRONG! We got there [its also Friday night] and omg... that place was so scary!! Not only was it scary but the shelves were bare! We also have people crawling over us to get things -- no excuse me, no nothing! So i was sooo done with that store. So we decided we'd drive to another Walmart about 15 mins away -- we were able to get cheap gas across the street anyway so it wasn't a waste i suppose! So the crowd there wasn't to bad, people didn't seem as obnoxious! But alot of their stock was limited too -- and empty boxes left all over the shelves.  This is what i ended up getting [my coupon stack was much bigger when i walked in, then the stack i handed the cashier!!!]: 4 A...

At some point today this coupon will go live for the first 50,000 people... keep checking back at THIS link!

I hardly ever go to Walmart anymore, but I wanted to get a pair of those new Dr Scholl's custom fit orthodontic for when we go away considering we'll be doing mainly all walking and my knee and back have been a mess, so its worth a shot! Check it out HERE if you don't know what i'm talking about!! So.. Transaction #1 - Dr. Scholl's $50.00 I had a $3 coupon for the regular ol' flimsy ones that i was going to get if they didnt have the number i needed...so seeing as i wasnt getting the reg. ones i wasn't going to use the coupon. The cashier saw it and said oh are you going to use that? i said no cause its not the right thing, she said it says any Dr. Scholl's right? [i dont know if it did or didn't cause she took it from me], she scanned it and it went through! So i paid $47 instead of $50. But the best part was that I was able to use our HSA account seeing as its a medical/health product! Transaction #2 - I got the extra work outs for Wii Active th...

Your Walmart might have the travel-sized Biore Face Scrub for $1.97. There is a  $2/1 Biore coupon here .  You could get this for FREE!
