It's That Time of the Week Again! Sunday Paper Day!

Today is Sunday Paper Day!
Sunday Paper Day is one of the most important days of the week to the couponer. The Sunday Paper provides you with most of the information you need to plan out your shopping trip(s) for the week to get the best deal possible.  Read the circulars and decide which stores will have the deals you want and need. Clip the coupons and save almost every single one. (Don't have a need for diapers in your house? Maybe you have a pet. Maybe you can trade a fellow couponer your diaper coupon for their pet food one. OR maybe you find a deal that makes diapers free.. there is an easy way to make a difference.. donate!)

Make your plan of action out. Write down the stores you want to visit this week. Write out your shopping list for that store. Add any coupons you have to that list.  That way you will be ready to go save some money. Also, be sure to take a physical copy of the circular with you, just in case. Some stores do not clearly mark all the current deals. (Along that train of thought, pay attention to the signs that are marking deals in-store. Some have teensy deal expiration dates printed on them. If a clerk forgets to take the signage down, but it has an expiration date on it, they will not honor an expired deal for you.) 

So, what are you guys looking for this week? What deals should we be keeping our eyes out for?

What exactly are the deals this week, and how are the seasoned couponers working them?  Luckily for you, I have collated them in one handy reference here! Just choose a store and click on it for a link to some of the best deals this week! 

I like to do my shopping on Monday nights. Once I work my deals, I will post my scenerios here for you! And, please share any deals you find! 

Target -Weekly Circular, and in-store unadvertised deals! (Thanks, Totally Target!)

Rite Aid- 15 deals under a dollar, and some are free or moneymakers! (Thanks, Couponing to Disney)

Walmart- Under $1 masterlist (Thanks, Couponing to Disney)

CVS- Weekly Circular deals, and coupon match-ups. Some freebies and moneymakers this week! (Thanks, Couponing to Disney)

Walgreens- Under $1 deals, freebies, and moneymakers for the week  (Thanks, Couponing to Disney)

Use these scenarios in addition to your weekly circulars from the paper. Don't forget to check out in-store deals that are unadvertised. Don't forget to swing by clearance sections. You can use your coupons on the clearance items for even greater savings. Don't forget that if you have a coupon that says $1 off any, and it doesn't specify an exclusion of size (travel, trial, etc), you can go get some freebies in the travel aisle. Who cares if you have to buy you deodorants mini-sized every week if you never have to pay for deodorant again? Or Pantene hairspray? Be savvy and rethink your coupons!

Share your deals with us! We want to know!
