I forgot to get my coupons!

Sunday came and went, and I never left my house.  It was early this morning that I remembered...I didn't make my weekly trip to the Dollar Tree to pick up my papers.  That means I missed out on my coupons this week.  What am I going to do?

Thankfully, I can still go online and print out the coupons I am missing from Smartsource.com and Redplum.com.  Now, I'm not going to be able to get the exact coupons that were in the paper, and that kinda sucks, but I will be able to still use these coupons, so the mistake isn't that debilitating.  :)

I also didn't go shopping on Saturday, but when I looked at the paper, I just wasn't as excited about the things that were on sale this week as usual.  One nice thing about having a stockpile, small as mine is, is that I can go a week without shopping, and we don't run out of anything.  

PNS is back to their usual coupon policy, so I'm going to have to be a little more crafty about which coupons I will be doubling when I shop on Wednesday.  

This week, I noticed that if you buy 5 boxes of Post cereal at 2.00 per box, then I'll get a 5.00 coupon good on my next transaction.  Which is like getting 5 boxes for 1.00 each.  Now, if I have any coupons for Post (which is rare) then the price of each box will go down even more.  So I'm definitely getting some more cereal Wednesday.  

I also see that canned goods are on sale this week.  Many are at the 10 for $10.00.  Bring coupons, and when they double, they'll be almost free.  And, just because the sale says 10/$10.00, that doesn't mean you have to purchase all ten, unless the sale specifically states that you must.  You'll usually see that on cereal offers.  

One of the great things about coupons, is that I can buy name brand cheaper than the store brand on the majority of items I am getting for my family.
