Frugal Families: Break Out the Coupons and Shop Like Emily Does

Want to start saving a little cash? Even if you can't take it to the "extreme" like Albertville's Emily Goldsberry, here are five things to get you started saving.

Emily Goldsberry gave us a couple of the deals she found this week using her store ads and coupons. Grab your Sunday Paper from the recycling and here are this week’s coupon deals:

CVS

Duncan Hines Brownie Mix $10 for $10 (you do NOT have to buy 10!)

Find out what's happening in St. Michaelwith free, real-time updates from Patch.

Emily: I will combine the 50 cent coupon from this Sundays paper with the sale. My final total will be only 50 cents per box!

 Air Wick Ultra Fresh Matic Kit 6.17 oz $6

Find out what's happening in St. Michaelwith free, real-time updates from Patch.

Emily: If you purchase $20 in product you will get $10 Extra Care Bucks. I will get four of these kits with my $4 off each coupons from coupons.com, and I will pay $8 out of pocket. Then, I will GET $10 Extra Care Bucks for my next transaction. Which means I made $2.00!!!!

WALGREENS

Carefree Panty Liners 20 or 22 ct. for 99 cents. 

Emily: I get a Register Reward for 99 cents. I pay 99 cents out of pocket. I get a future 99-cent Register Reward for my next purchase. So, in the end, they're FREE.

 

TARGET

Connect 4 Kids Game $8. 

Emily: Coupon in Sunday paper $3 off. The final total is just $5. And this is a  great Easter Gift idea.

We understand that at this point in the week many of you no longer have your coupons or ads from Sunday. But, remember, some of these can be found online, and if you ask at the customer service counter or a register, a lot of places have circulars right in the store.
