Two bad customer service experiences in the last two weeks having me wondering if the general level of customer service is getting worse, or if I am just getting more irritable as I get older? Here’s the first one: I was at Kroger picking up a few items, including two packs of Kraft American singles. [...]
As sentiments about the economy continue to degrade, there is a mighty battle brewing. No, I’m not talking about fights over trillion dollar “stimulus” packages, bailouts, or tax cuts. The dispute I’m speaking of is on the surface over much smaller amounts. I’m talking about the battle between coupon shoppers and uncooperative retail store employees. In [...]
As economic conditions worsen, more and more people are getting into coupons and frugality in general. But a lot of people get overwhelmed just trying to figure out where to get started. I realized this when Shreela, a reader that found this blog from one of my posts on Slickdeals, left this comment: Hi, I’m [...]
Walgreens deals just keep on coming! They released a new $5 off $20 coupon, and that coupled with the Easy Saver Rebate deals and the Register Rewards deals is making for some very good deals. Compare that to the crappy deals we’ve seen recently from CVS! Right now through Saturday (10/25), the following items will produce [...]
I post pretty frequently about deals at CVS and Walgreens, and many of those deals are made better by using manufacturer’s coupons that come in the Sunday paper every week. Our friends at Money Under 30 posted about their method of couponing recently in this post. But many people think that scouring coupon inserts, cutting [...]
I mentioned in my last post how I was getting totally bored with CVS and their deals. Well, thankfully Walgreens is picking up the slack on their deals, and today and tomorrow (7/25-26) they have an absolutely incredible deal going on Walgreens brand diapers. It is a little YMMV (your mileage may vary), however my [...]
I written many times about the awesome deals you can get at CVS, but I’ve lost a bit of the enthusiasm I once had. Not too long ago savvy CVS shoppers were treated to a feast of free products and plenty of coupons to make the deals even better, but things seem to have changed. [...]
Longtime readers of this blog know that I frequent CVS, normally with printable in-store coupons in hand. However, the powers that be at CVS apparently don’t like what I am doing, or at least they want to try to keep you from replicating my deals. A few days ago I posted a list of ECB [...]
It has been a while since I have written about the deals at CVS and Walgreens, for a few reasons. First, I’ve been really busy with work and the kids, so I haven’t really posted much of anything lately. Secondly, the lack of CVS coupons has kind of dampened my enthusiasm a bit. However, there [...]
I love cereal. Like most kids, the cereal aisle was my favorite aisle of the grocery store growing up. I could eat cereal for any meal of the day, or as a snack. I just love the stuff. Anyway, this is a good week to stock up on cereal, thanks to some real good specials [...]
