One of my favorite things about having this website is being able to post Photo Show and Tells from my readers. There is nothing that inspires me more than reading and seeing how YOU ALL (the readers) are doing. Please email me when you have brag worthy shopping ventures. I would love to post your pictures because I know that you inspire me AND you inspire everyone else as well!

Let me tell you about this picture. This Photo Show & Tell is ridiculous. When I see everything in this picture and realize how much Jordan spent and saved, I am literally dumbfounded. I think it’s safe to say that Jordan has done EXTRAORDINARY! I first met with Jordan back in late October/early November when I gave a couponing class. I knew right away that Jordan would do well with couponing and saving. And, this past weekend, she proved me right. Jordan spent $7.32 ($4.28 of her total was sales tax) and saved $216.02. Jordan saved 97%. Again, can I say ridiculous!!

I also wanted to remind you that I have two upcoming couponing classes in the Tampa Bay area. Go Here to read about them. Also – I am now giving Home Parties if you would prefer a more casual, home setting to learn about saving money. I can meet with just you and your family, or if you would prefer to have your friends, neighbors, etc join you, that would be great too! A home party would be a very relaxed setting where you provide food and beverages for your friends and I come and provide Addicted to Saving information =) Email me for more info!

This week was one of those weeks where I had a very intense love/hate relationship with Walgreens. Walgreens can be maddening. Each store has different coupon policies depending on management. I went to 5 different Walgreens stores (all w/in a 10 mile radius) on Monday and each store had different policies – some accepted B1G1 coupons w/ a B1G1 sale, others did not. Then, today, my husband stepped in a saved the day and used the remainder of my B1G1 Purex coupons. I feel so blessed that I now have enough detergent to last me at least 2 years. And, in the end, I can safely say that Walgreens that is again on my good side.

If you are wondering why I have so much Purex, this week Walgreens has Purex 50 oz, 32 load on sale B1G1 (they are usually $5.99 each). I originally posted about the deal Here. There is a B1G1 Purex manufacturer coupon in 2/21/10 RP (Feb 21st’s Red Plum insert). If you use one B1G1 coupon with a B1G1 sale, you will get both items free. (Side note – not all Walgreens accept B1G1 coupons with B1G1 sales.)

Since I was able to find enough Walgreens stores to accept my coupons, I was able to get 20 Purex bottles for free. I only had to pay tax. I spent $4.80 total on all of the bottles above and I saved $119.80. It is not too late for you to do this deal. It takes some work, perserverance and driving, but you should be able to get free Purex too.

I have more reader success stories and photos that I have to share with you!! Success story #1: Shanda emailed me about her ASTOUNDING Publix trip! She spent $23.12 on $73.00 worth of groceries! What inspires me so much about Shanda’s shopping trip is that she purchased very diverse groceries! From milk, to fresh bread, to FREE Olay Body Wash (it was on clearance and she had $1.00 coupons!), to cereal, feminine hygiene products, to ziplock bags, to veggies and beans… Shanda did amazing!! See the picture below!

Success story #2: Publix had a great B1G1 Frosted Mini Wheats sale and one of my readers did an AMAZING job of maximizing the sale with her coupons. And, here’s the best part. Each of the boxes of cereal she bought had awesome coupons inside them ($1/1 coupons for more cereal, orange juice, fresh fruit wyb any Kellogg’s cereal, and cereals. And, the coupons do not expire until 3/31/2011). She bought 16 boxes of Frosted Mini Wheats, spent $20.94 after coupons, AND received $80.00 worth of high value cereal coupons inside the boxes to use next time. This is a wonderful example of stockpiling – stock up on dirt cheap products so that you don’t have to but it again until it is dirt cheap again! Awesome job!
