Living in Upstate, NY, near Albany, I'm learning to use coupons and save lots. A new year and new me. Hopefully saving more than I am spending!

Don't Overlook The Dollar Store
So I don't get much from the dollar stores as we can often save more using coupons elsewhere. I do swear by their gift bags though. Great variety and serve their purpose.
But I also pick up a few random food items when I happen to notice them. I use garlic and onion just about every evening. And while fresh is great, I have to admit that a jar of minced garlic (it's just garlic in water) is super duper convenient. I've been out for a while and finally saw jars in my favorite dollar store the other day. So I bought three! I also picked up a jar of salsa. I've never bought it there before and doubt I would ever use it with chips as a dip. But I figure its a good staple to have on hand to add into foods. I go through salsa like water so this is worth a try.
Save $6 At Price Chopper
Two new coupons from Price Chopper today! These are for everyone who tells me they don't use coupons because they never find them for meat and produce.
FREE Peanut Butter At Walmart
This is a fun score if you are able to find it in your stores. My Walmart stores are marginal at best but perhaps you'll be lucky enough to find this near you.
So here's the deal...
Like them on Facebook and then print off this coupon for $1 off any Peanut Butter and Company product (no size restrictions listed).
Then find the little packets pictured above, selling for about $0.68/each. It will make the little packet of PB FREE plus give you $0.32 overage!

Big Savings On Make-Up
I had ECB's that were moments away from expiring at CVS the other day. But I have not been super into any of the drugstore sales the last few weeks. I am not brand specific about many things but concealor is another story. I wear Loreal and that's it. Which sells for around $9-10 for a tiny tube. But if you purchase $15+, you will receive a $5 ECB. I had (2) $2/1 Loreal coupons to use. Plus my $9.49 in expiring ECB's. In the end, I paid $8.05 out of pocket and earned a $5 ECB. Not the best but not bad when this is a product I use at least once a day, every day.
But just look at what I found at Target the other day! Tons of Physician's Formula make-up on clearance!! And I had several $4 and $3 peelie coupons that I had been sitting on for the last several months hoping for a deal like this.
You're looking at make-up valued at:
Original price ... $46.25
Clearance price ... $23.11
After coupons price ... $4.11
Percentage saved ... 91%
FREE Pens At Staples
