Shopping Ninja: Where to buy....

Thursday, March 5, 2009

I'm starting a new series about my favorite places to buy certain items at a great, everyday low price. Got a question? Leave a comment!

1. Shower Curtains- $1 at Dollar Tree

2. Flour- $1.79 at Price Rite

3. Food Storage containers- 5 pack nesting set, sizes from 2 gallons down to about 2 cups- $8 at Family Dollar

4. Contact Paper- $1 at Dollar Tree

5. Applesauce- $1.82 for 50 oz at Walmart

My abbreviations:

CRT- Cash Register Tape- Refers to coupons that print on register tape.
ECB- ExtraCare Bucks. An instant rebate that prints at the bottom of the CVS receipt and can be used as payment for future purchases.
MM- Money Maker. Basically, you get more money back than you pay for it, whether it be through coupon overage, RR, or ECB.
PG- Procter and Gamble Sunday coupon insert, usually comes out first Sunday of the month
Q- Coupon. I'm lazy.
RP- Red Plum. Coupon insert in Sunday paper.
RR- Register Rewards. Similar to CVS's ECB, but for Walgreens. Prints out of a Catalina coupon printer, which is separate from the receipt.
SS- SmartSource. A weekly coupon insert that comes in the Sunday paper.
YMMV- Your Mileage May Vary. Basically, something that works at my stores may not work at yours.
