The saga continues with Tom Thumb! I've mentioned numerous times before to be careful and watch your receipt when shopping at Tom Thumb. I've done at least 25-30 transactions and NONE OF THEM HAVE BEEN CORRECT! Isn't that sad? Either the sale price didn't ring up correctly or some of my coupons were not taken off. Every time I end up at the service desk getting my money back. Extra time spent and very inconvenient.
A couple of weeks ago, they had a few things that I wanted and we happened to be driving by so we stopped. The "buy 5 get $5 off instantly" only took $2.80 off. As a consumer we shouldn't have to eagle eye every transaction, but boy do I at this store.
My point here is to really watch and make sure the sale items are ringing up the correct price. Don't assume that you did something wrong. More than likely it is an error on their end.
Yes, I will occasionally still shop there. I do believe they have a great meat department and a very nice meat department staff. I just wanted to give you a warning to make sure and check your receipt! Remember, you are not getting a good deal if something rings up the wrong price or if your coupon is never deducted.
As always, be kind. It is a computer error, not the cashier.
Blessings~

How to save on oil changes!
Did you know that the service department in new car dealerships offer coupons & specials? We got a sheet of coupons in the mail for a $13.99 oil change from a local dealership. We have had work done at this particular dealership, so we thought we would give it a shot.
My husband called ahead for an appointment and to make sure the offer was legitimate. Sure enough it was! We got an oil change for $13.99! The lady who checked him out said that they often have coupons on their websites too. That saved us a lot of money today! Pretty awesome!
Happy Monday!

~My CVS trip this week~
Ran into CVS this week to use up some ECB's that were going to expire soon. This is what I purchased:
Neosporin
$6.99
Band-aid
$4.79
Sub-total= $11.78
-$1.50 (coupon used to purchase both items)
-$3 (off $10 health care CVS coupon that printed)
-$3 ECB
=$4.28
I'm posting this to show that not everything I get at the drugstore is free. However, this was a better deal than buying it elsewhere once the coupons and store offers are combined.
Happy Thursday!

~Kroger's New Coupon Policy~
This is a BIG deal if you are a couponer! PLEASE read all the way to the bottom and take action! Let them know that you are NOT HAPPY and this is a game changer for you and you family. Act fast!
Here's the deal. I emailed Kroger Corporate offices last week requesting the new coupon information regarding our local Kroger store. They confirmed they got the email, but never responded. Today, I called them and was told that they are "way behind on their emails". Hmmm. Then I asked if she could email me the current coupon policy and I was told "We can't do that anymore...It is up to interpretation by the individual store manager." Okie dokie! I've never heard of a corporation not being able to give out their policy before. Moving on...
Next step was to call my local Kroger and see if the store manager was planning to change the policy. The associate I spoke to said that "The policy will change and they are just waiting on word from Kroger Corporate as to when!" I then told her that the corporate office told me it was only the Houston area stores and that the rest of the stores got to choose if they wanted to change per the store manager. She told me that was not the case! They are just waiting on word as to when they will stop double/triple coupons.
She said as of today, the Dallas area Kroger stores will continue with the double/triple policy. However, you are no longer able to stack a paper coupon with a digital (ecoupon). If you have loaded an electronic coupon to your Kroger Plus card, then the digital coupon will apply before the manufacturer paper coupon. A digital coupon cannot be removed from a transaction once redeemed.
Go HERE to leave a comment on the Kroger website. I encourage you to explain that you only started shopping at Kroger because of the double/triple policy. Explain how disappointed you are and that they will lose your business by doing so. If enough of us write in, it may just make a difference. Remember if you don't write in, don't complain about it. If everyone complains, but doesn't make their voice heard...it is pointless complaining. Sorry this is so long, I just wanted to give you all the details.

~When is enough really enough?~
I get this question regarding stock piling often. My answer is that you should stock up enough so that you will not run out until the next "rock bottom" sale. Usually, that is 6-8 weeks worth of product. The goal is to NEVER pay retail again!
Don't be afraid to sit back and enjoy your stock pile. If you have a nice supply of items, take a break and "live off the stock" as I like to say. If you have a month of extra expenses, this is a great way to stay within your budget.
My point here is to not be a slave to your stock pile. Don't be so concerned with having 250 rolls of toilet paper that you forget that you can stop and simply enjoy having plenty of toilet paper for now. Couponing is not meant to be stressful or a "job". It is meant to save you money and to give you more freedom with your budget to have life experiences, not just pay bills and to be broke.
Hope this blesses someone today and encourages you to relax and start enjoying that stock pile.

~The Power of a High Value Coupon!~
I've never used Wisk before, but will give it a try at this price! Anytime I see a high value coupon (example: $3) on laundry detergent, I always clip it. Anytime a store runs a B1G1 Free sale, it is usually a great deal if you have q's to use for both items.
CVS sale B1 Wisk Get 1 Wisk FREE
Wisk
$8.49 (I know, totally ridiculous price)
-$3 q
-$3 q
=$2.49 total for 2
or
$1.25 each for 32 loads...which makes it .04 per load!
My other CVS deal:
Stride gum
.99
-.99 ECB
-B1G1 FREE q
= 2 FREE!
Happy Saturday & BOOMER SOONER!
