Walgreens Back to School Sales

First, let me say, I love school supplies. I could spend hours just browsing office supply stores. This year, I will begin homeschooling my daughter for preschool. Hopefully, the supplies I have purchased this far will get us through the year so I don't end up paying $3+ for a package of crayons or markers later. Onto the deals, shall we?

Additionally, I will send in rebates ($14) for the pantene, Crayola markers and G2 pilot pens. This will make 4 bottles of the pantene free as well as the makers and pens. I need to take my recipt back as it seems I was charged incorrectly for the colored pencils and they rang up 3/$5.98 instead of 3/$2.97.

Welcome to the Blog.

I'm starting this blog as way I can boast about my deals and couponing without driving my friends and family crazy. I started seriously couponing and stockpiling in January 2008. I am currently a stay at home mom to my 3 year old daughter. In June of this year my boyfriend was diagnosed with gastroparesis, after being very ill since December 2006. He is unable to work, thus we have a very small budget. I strive to stretch it as far as possible and couponing allows me to do just that. I frequently get items for free or close to free. As time allows, I will also be posting pictures of my current stockpile.
