  1. I should take a picture of my free toothpaste and toothbrush collection for you. I LOVE coupons and matching them up with the sales. Unfortunately, I don't always have time to do it. You did great!

  2. I have discovered different ways to find out what the sales are going to be for weeks in advance. Then I go to ebay and buy my coupons. That way I can find the really good deals and have my coupons ready when the sales hit. Some of my favorite sites are www.iheartcvs.com www.iheartriteaid.com www.iheartwags.com I have also found a couple of other people that are able to get an advance notice of grocery sales. Let me know what grocery stores you use and if I can find some blogs that give you a heads up on those sales I'll let you know : )
