I am a stay at home mom with three wonderful kids. I have been married for over 8 years to my best friend. I am head over heals in love with him. He always supports my crazy "thrifty adventures", We have a lot of fun together.
I was raised on a small dairy farm. Where I learned very young, the value of hard work and how to be thrifty in all areas of life. Growing up our meals were made from scratch. Only on special occasion would we get name brand cereal, chips, or any other fancy treats. Now that I am a Mom with my own budget, the basic foods always comes first. I too make most of our meals from scratch and take pride in feeding my family a well balanced healthy diet.
I enjoy seeing how far I can make our budget stretch, and when I take the time to match sales with coupons I am able to get all those "fun & fancy" items that would other wise be out of my budget. Being thrifty has always been a way of life for me, but it has also become a real joy.
I get a lot of questions about coupons and company policy. So this week I called around, and talked to the Customer Service in each store asking them what their coupon policy's are. I must warn you most cashier have no idea what the coupon policy is in their store. It is so important to be informed, and be an educated coupon shopper. Some stores are a little more coupon friendly than others. If you get a crabby cashier that acts like you are robbing the store, for using coupons. Remember the store DOES get paid back for your coupons from the manufacturer, a coupon is just like paying with cash. It just comes from the manufacturer, not you.
Albertsons-
will take all MFR ( manufacturer coupons)
will take printed coupons
take competators coupons coupons, Like Fred Meyer, Walgreens...
will take Walgreens Register Rewards Catalina Coupons
DO NOT match comptators ads or prices
Walgreens-
will take all MFR coupons, and you can stack them with a Walgreens in-store coupon
