Plastic Jungle is a great place to turn those gift cards you win or earn from places like Swagbucks or Mypoints into something you could really use...cash. Or you can trade them for a gift card to Amazon. It's pretty easy, you just enter in your gift card information (store and amount) and they give you an immediate cash or amazon gc offer. For instance, I put in that I had a $25 Babies R Us card and they offered me $17.50 in cash or $18.38 at Amazon. Buy Gift Cards at up to 35% off to … [Read more...]
Couponing 101: How to Start Couponing Online and Locally for Beginners
By on December 4, 2011 8 Comments
Hello and welcome! I've always been a saver at heart and shopped frugally, but it wasn't until I got pregnant with my first child in 2009 that I discovered the world of "extreme couponing". I quickly learned that if you shop smart by matching the right coupons with the right sales at the right stores at the right time, you could very easily save 50-90% off your shopping trip! Once I knew this was possible, I decided to start sharing my weekly finds with friends, and thus I became the … [Read more...]

By on November 16, 2011 3 Comments
It's been quite a while since I've talked to you guys about fraudulent coupons. I just discovered yet another through a reader question today from Facebook so I want to take a moment to bring the topic up again. (Thanks, Jessica N.!) Please be aware of the possibility of fraudulent coupons out there guys! Some people try to abuse the system and create fake coupons that pretty much end up ruining it all for the rest of us. Basically a really good rule of thumb is, if it looks suspicious or … [Read more...]
Couponing 101: How to Get Coupons for the Brands and Products You Already Love and Use
By on November 16, 2011 4 Comments
Just a quick tip - which some of you may already know, but this was a huge discovery for me when I first started couponing. Take a look thru your pantry and on your grocery list for the items you use the most or maybe those you just never seem to find coupons for. Look up the company online and send them an email via their "contact us" page. Make sure you always leave your mailing address in all the emails you send - even if they don't ask you for it. Leave it at the end of your letter … [Read more...]

*NEW* Official Walmart Coupon Policy
By on March 16, 2011 9 Comments
Earlier today, one of my facebook fans, Monica, alerted me to a new coupon policy that was just released by Walmart last week. My apologizes, but I do not normally shop at Walmart (it's too far away) but I do try to cover the deals for you because I know its a very popular place to coupon at. After doing a bit of research, I discovered that Walmart has indeed put out a new coupon policy and it means GREAT news for us! Basically, they are now 1) offering change back or overage on your … [Read more...]
~*~ Official Target Corporate Coupon Policy ~*~
By on November 14, 2010 Leave a Comment
As an "extreme" coupon shopper, it's always handy to have the official corporate coupon policy for any store you shop at - especially to score freebies. While you and I both know it's all legit, many cashiers and even sometimes store managers just assume that getting something for free is somehow "not kosher" and will try to give you a hard time about it. Many times they just aren't aware of their own store's coupon policy. So to keep your sanity, here is Target's Official Corporate Coupon … [Read more...]

Walgreens has finally released their official corporate coupon policy! YAY! Be sure to print this out and carry it with you if you shop there. Walgreens, in my opinion, is the most complicated and I've had the most difficult time with their cashiers when using lots of coupons. I hope this helps everyone! (Thanks for the heads up [Couponing to Disney]!) General Guidelines All valid coupons should be presented to the cashier at the time of checkout. Walgreens does not accept … [Read more...]
CVS: BOGO Policy (Print this!)
By on August 7, 2010 1 Comment
With the recent Sobe BOGO sale and printable coupons, some of you have been having issues where your store cashier is telling you that you cannot get 2 for completely free when using the coupon. This is simply untrue and NOT the official CVS policy. I Heart CVS sent an email (you may want to download and print this!) to corporate and this was their response: Dear Valued CVS Customer, Thank you for contacting CVS/pharmacy. We appreciate the time you took to contact us with your … [Read more...]

Rite Aid: Official Corporate Coupon Policy
By on February 24, 2010 1 Comment
I just received an email from one of my readers, Rachel (hi Rachel! :)) who asked if the Rite Aid Video Values Coupons could be stacked with regular manufacturer coupons, even though the Video Value Coupons say they are manufacturer coupons as well. Well I've never had an issue with stacking them, but then again the stores in my area never seem to have an issue with anything :) So I did some research online to see what others were experiencing. It turns out, some employees refuse to stack … [Read more...]
