Hey, Y'all!
I must apologize. This post was started Thursday evening!!! But, I have been juggling couponing with my 11 grand-kids this week and the grand-kids won :o) We have had an awesome time these last 7 days and I can't wait till they leave so they can hurry up and come back again.
I was blessed to take one of my newest Coupon Bees on her first very first coupon adventure (@ShopRite) Thursday evening. Her savings were over $80 (including sales & coupons). She got $130 worth of groceries for $50! She was so happy and so was I. I could have given her the coupons or shopped for her but instead I taught her to coupon. "...teach a man (or woman) to fish and he (or she) will eat for a lifetime."
Here's one lesson I taught her. Go to the ShopRite homepage (or CVS, Walgreens, RiteAid, Giant, etc) a day or two before the end of their sales cycle. For ShopRite, their new ads appear in the wee hours each Friday morning or sometime on Thursday for the pharmacies.
Weekly *Ad Scans and Coupon Deals Links
(*Ad Scans are previews of the sales expected at a store or pharmacy the following week.)

- Simply CVS Shopping (& check out the links at the top of their page)
- CVS Preview Ms. Couponista
- RiteAid Preview Ms. Couponista
- Walgreens Preview Ms. Couponista
- Google "store name + ad scan" or "ad preview"...for example, google "Giant Ad Scan" or "Giant Ad Preview"
You can see the weekly ShopRite ad for the current week and the next week in the screen shot below.
When you compare the current week's prices with the coming week's prices, that will tell you whether to buy this week or wait until next week.
Finally, we are nearing the end of the month. You know what that means? Time to download the last of those printable coupons this month before the new ones are posted. Here's a few links to get you started: (Bookmark these links and refer back to them at the beginning and end of each month)
I no longer "mourn" missed sales because I know that there will always be another sale with some awesome coupons to match them.
Happy Couponing!
