My First Trip To Share



Please remember that I am learning about couponing and just like to share because I am soooo excited.  I really only have been shopping at CVS because it is here in Atlanta near me but it is plenty to save lots so far!

MY TIPS I HAVE LEARNED SO FAR!!!
1)  Constantly be on the look out for coupons EVERYWHERE!
2) Start a notebook to keep yourself a little more organized!
3) Look at the ads and get a shopping trip planned BEFORE you go!
4) Stop by EVERY chance you get to swipe your CVS card at the front RED MACHINE!!  (I constantly receive easy $3 and $5 off coupons for my purchases!  

With that, here is my trip TODAY!!!
