About Me

My Photo
A homeschooling mother of one teenager and a little. In 2001, I resigned from my 13 year position as a case manager to homeschool my oldest who was a preschooler at the time, and later a daughter who came along in 2005. This is by far the hardest job I've ever loved. My husband of nearly 20 years supports us as a fire fighter and EMT.

Crime and Coupons

It's a sad state affairs when you begin to witness shoplifting on a regular basis. Today my coupons wouldn't scan. I couldn't use a few of them without the manager there to override the register. She wasn't available after she took off in a police car in search of some shoplifting suspects. Sigh. I did get to use my one-day-only $5.00 off coupon, so I'm good with that. I'll try using the other coupons next week, unless there is another shoplifting incident! 

I would have saved $10.00 at Dollar General today. Only $7.00 went through before the cashier needed the manager's help. Check out the coupons at their website. The $5.00 will expire today; however, there is a good one for Suave shampoo - $1.00 off two,  Hanes Men's Briefs - $1.00 off any pack, and coupons for Theraflu and Alka Seltzer cold formulas. Rexall brand cold medications have coupons as well.

Family Dollar also has store and manufacturer coupons on their website.

Also used:  Smartsource coupons and RedPlum coupons

That would be frustrating. I know our grocery store no longer takes coupons taken from the internet because so many people made fraudulant ones.

It always surprises me when they actually take them. That is a problem here as well. Thanks for your comment. :)

Oh how sad for the store...the last time we took the kids to the thrift store, a scuffle started as we were getting out of the car, and we quickly put all the kids back IN the car as 2 employees and 2 bystanders tried to wrestle a man to the ground and handcuff him (what kind of Goodwill manager keeps handcuffs around?)
