Donating Items
I had an ugly comment on here earlier from someone saying that stockpiling is a waste of money since items go bad and that those should be used for donating to organizations. The secrete to couponing is to stockpile your items! Plus, you don't go buy 10 bottles of salad dressing even if you can get them for $0.25 because most of the time they will go bad. You are only suppose to stockpile your items to last you until the next sale for that item takes place.
Also, during my coupon classes, I always tell people to DONATE the items if they won't use them or if they can get a ton of items really cheap and don't need them at the time. We are also holding a Donation Drive for Gabe's Hope until the end of November for readers to donate items too.
If anyone has any questions or comments please let me know. Thank you all so much to the readers out there who support this website by sharing it with others. You all are the reason I take time out of my day and time away from my family to create this website.

Walgreens New Coupon Policy!!!
Walgreens has now posted their new coupon policy on their website!!
So many Walgreens stores tend to have different policies because they never had a corporate policy posted on their website. However, with this policy now on the website, every Walgreens store should accept this policy. I would suggest printing this policy off and keeping it in your coupon binder so if you have any problems you can recheck the policy.

Meal Planning
I have so many people ask how I plan out our monthly meals and go grocery shopping. So here it is, the answer to all of your questions:
1. I first make a list of 30 + meals for the month.
2. Then I write down everything that I need for those meals.
3. Next, I check out the pantry and freezer at home and cross off everything that we have at home. This usually ends up leaving me about 1/2 of the items that I need for the month.
4. Then I check the sales for each week and only buy what is on sale each week + items for my stockpile (usually items that are $0.50 are cheaper).
I will be posting soon a meal list for next month to give you an idea on how to start this process. If you have any questions, please let me know.
