Well, now you can load 3 pictures onto Shutterfly's new "Wink" service and get a photostrip made & shipped to you FREE!  Go HERE to sign up for Shutterfly, and just type "Wink" into the search bar to find this freebie.

Suave Catalina at Bi-Lo: UPDATE!

Well, guys - let me start out with an apology.  If you already went and tried my "not-so-Suave" scenario, you'll know by now it was a dud.  Apparently, instead of getting your 4th Suave free at checkout as part of the B3 ~ Get 1 Free promotion - you get it as a catalina coupon. That makes my previous scenario groupings totally wacko.
I just spent way too much money on Kids Shampoos, and I was so frazzled, I even forgot to get rainchecks for the Suave deodorants!  Ugh - do you ever just have one of those trips??
Okay, here's your new and improved scenario - my way of making up for the last one.  It's only good until tomorrow, so get it tonight or at least get rainchecks!
*The 1st is the most expensive transaction, after that, they are cheaper due to the Freebie Coupon.

1) Buy 3 Suave Kids/Professionals Shampoos @ $1.69 ea
Use (1) 50¢/2 or $1/2 Q from the 3/14 SS
Pay $4.18 ~ Get a Free Suave Coupon

2) Buy (3) Suave Kids Shampoos @ $1.69 ea
Use (1) 50¢/2 or $1/2 Q + (1) Free Suave Coupon
Pay $2.40 ~ Get a Free Suave Coupon

Keep going for as long as you want with these freebie coupons - the cost will be $2.40 each time.  That's just 80¢ ea!  While this doesn't seem awesome when you're used to getting free shampoo - the Tear-Free Kids Shampoo doesn't go on sale very often, so it's a good buy in my opinion.

Got Ink?

If you're a couponer, you go through ink at lightning speed!  And when you run out, it feels like you are the only one in the world missing out on all those deals  - I know this, because last time I ran out, I was too cheap to buy ink for a month.... :)

InkOrbit is a great option for getting discount replacement cartridges at up to 85% Off - and right now they're running a March Madness sale!  PLUS - if your total comes to $55 or more, you will get FREE Shipping!  Just click the image on the right to check out pricing and see if your printer type is included in the list of available cartridges.


These are Re-manufactured Cartridges, but they have a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee and a 1-800 number for Customer Service.
  • Here's a screenshot of the one I am ordering - the black cartridge for my HP Photosmart is normally $25.95.  Inkorbit has it for just $13.99!

  • Buying twinpacks are a good idea too, so you'll have a backup - and it will get you closer to your $55 (Think: Free Shipping) mark.  Those color cartridges are so expensive!

FREE CVS Shampoo & Conditioner!


If you scan your card at the Magical Coupon Machine inside CVS, you are likely to get a $1/1 CVS brand Shampoo/Conditioner coupon.  Well, Jess at The Frugal Life noticed that the CVS shampoo/conditioners pictured above are only 99¢! 
You can usually get another of these scanner coupons EVERY DAY, so get all you can while they're still printing!

Donation Alert! - If you are loyal to just one shampoo, and this ain't it - just toss this in your donation box every time you score one!  You don't know how many folks out there would love some CVS Kiwi Shampoo.

More Information on Mililtary Commissaries

Thanks to workshop attendee and Time 2 Save fan, Kim, I've been able to round up some more information about using coupons at military commissaries.  Here are a few highlights:
  • Coupons are accepted under the same conditions that are stated on the coupon
  • Store coupons can not be accepted at commissaries...only manufacturer coupons
  • Expired coupons can be used only at overseas commissaries (up to 6 months).  Otherwise they must be in date.
  • Commissaries do not double or triple coupons.
  • Internet coupons are acceptable as long as they are manufacturer coupons.
  • When sending expired (or any) coupons to overseas commissaries, please cut them out of the insert before sending.
This is a great activity to involve your kids.  Not only is it an opportunity to have a conversation about the sacrifice our military makes for our freedom, but you will also receive a Thank You note several weeks after sending them. You can send coupons you aren't going to use or expired coupons to:
Kristi Seigrist, Family Services Coordinator

Unit 5200, Box 105
APO, AE 09461

AWESOME Kelloggs + Milk Catalina


This catalina went live YESTERDAY - and it is a National Catalina, which means it should be good at most groceries across the country!  This is good for 12 oz or larger boxes of Kelloggs Cereal, and goes from 3/21 - 4/10.  Here's the "Scoop":

Ask Walgreens??


I (Kasey) recently spent time with a Walgreens Manager who was very open to hearing our questions and concerns.  He emailed the coupon policy below that he received from corporate.  It does not address Register Rewards.
Here is your chance to voice your questions, concerns, and comments to time2save@hotmail.com.  Make sure to include WALGREENS in the subject line.  We will send a compiled list of all of your emails to Walgreens.   Hopefully we'll get their attention and they'll see the necessity of having some sort of general guidelines regarding Register Rewards that are consistent.

Coupon Policy For Walgreens
Use the information below to ensure that your store is following the appropriate policy when accepting both Walgreens and manufacturer coupons.

Can a customer use both a Manufacturer's coupon and Walgreens coupon for the same item in a purchase?

One Walgreen and one manufacturer coupon can be used for the same item, unless either coupon prohibits such use.
Walgreens Roto Ad Coupons, Instant Value Coupons (IVC), and a manufacturer's coupon can be used towards the purchase of any one item. "One coupon per purchase" means one coupon must be tendered for each PIECE sold.

What happens if the Manufacturer coupon's value is more than the retail value?
Walgreens does not provide cash back if a coupon is presented for more than the purchase value of the item (e.g., the customer is using the coupon to purchase a clearance item).
If the retail of the item is less than the face value of the coupon:
the coupon value shall be the retail value if the state requires taxes to be paid on that item,
the coupon value shall be the retail value plus taxes if the state does not require taxes to be paid on the item.

Can a customer use a coupon after a sale has been made?
All valid coupons must be presented to the cashier at the time of sale only!

If there is no quantity limit on a Walgreens coupon can a manager impose his/her own limit?
Yes, managers have the right to limit the quantities of all advertised items.

Does Walgreens price match or accept coupons from other retailers?
Walgreens does not price match with other retailer.
Walgreens does not accept coupons from other retailers or coupons for products not carried in our stores.
Walgreens does not accept expired coupons.
