Our Shopping Trip~ 09/19/2020

I was planning to run by Walgreens real quick to grab a few things that were on sale.  I planned to use $5 of my points to pay.  I was told by the cashier that the register wouldn't let me use my points since I  used a digital coupon.   Has Walgreens changed their policy yet again?  The cashier said she had never had that happen before and that there was nothing she could do :( Has anyone else ran into issues at Walgreens recently?

Couponing Deals for the week of 09/20/2020

Couponing can be overwhelming and/or time consuming~ I was there.  Completely frustrated with the amount of coupons and deals.  It doesn't have to be.  My advice to new couponers is to take it slow.  Start by picking up a Sunday paper and focusing on 1 deal for the week and adding on as you feel more confident and comfortable.  Soon you will be creating quite the stockpile :)

If have ECB's and/or Register Rewards, go ahead and apply them to this week's deals to lower your out of pocket expense :)
