Taylortown Preview Coupons


On so many occasions I have thought to myself " If only I knew what coupons were in the Sunday Paper then I would wait to buy... etc". Since I discovered the Taylortown Preview website, I am no longer in suspense and have saved so much money.
Especially throughout the week when I get the supermarket fliers and scour through the deals, I will check out Taylortown Preview and decide if its worth to wait until the paper comes out and then do my shopping using the new coupons for items I will buy.
Taylortown Preview also has on file all the coupon listings from up to one year ago, so you can go back and reference any coupon and its expiration date.
Taylortown has saved me lots of money and has made my shopping trips more productive and money saving. Many weeks I buy additional copies of the Sunday paper when they have worthwhile coupons that I use and it is great knowing in advance what the coupons are and if I should buy any additional copies.

Dollar Days at the National Aquarium of Baltimore

The National Aquarium of Baltimore is hosting their annual Dollar Days event, where admission to the aquarium is only $1. This is an amazing deal considering the regular admission fares are $17.95 for a child and $28.95 for an adult. (Save almost $90 for a family of 4)

$1 Admission to the National Aquarium in Baltimore is:
December 6 & 7, 2008 from 10 AM- 4 PM

Here is some information from National Aquarium of Baltimore regarding the Dollar Days.
  • Tickets are limited.
  • Lines will be long, so please dress for the weather!
  • Consider leaving your stroller at home or in the trunk of your car.

Because of the escalators and people-movers inside the Aquarium, strollers cannot be used inside. If you do bring a stroller, Aquarium staff will store it for you and provide a backpack or frontpack child-carrier.

I have attended the Dollar Days a couple of times over the last few years and can attest to the long lines and no strollers policy. It is very worth it to be at the aquarium up to 1/2 before opening time (which is at 10:00 AM). The Aquarium will get more crowded and busy as the days goes on. By the way, during the Dollar Days there will be no dolphin shows.

Have fun!

Walmart's Coupon Policy rediscovered

Some very great useful information for those of us that shop at Walmart and use coupons. I found the following information on Walmart's website in a new section called the Eleven Moms.

The Eleven Moms is a fairly new project that includes eleven mom bloggers that share their money saving tips and budget advice on the Walmart website.

This is a Question & Answer section from a Walmart Shopper:

Does Walmart accept manufacturers coupons?

"I've used manufacturers coupons at my local Walmart without any problems". The Domestic Diva

"Walmart's coupon policy can be found here". From Dates to Diapers

"Yes. I frequently use manufacturer's coupons at Walmart. They do indeed accept them. Using coupons combined with Walmart's low prices helps me save lots of money. You can find many coupons in the Sunday paper, print them online, or in All You magazine". Kingdom First Mom


Walmart accepts the following types coupons:
* Manufacturer coupons (Cents Off)
* Free merchandise (or manufacturer's Buy-One-Get-One-Free) coupons
* Store coupons
* Pharmacy (Advertising and Promotional) coupons
* Internet coupons
* Soft drink container caps

Walmart Coupon Guidelines & Limits:

* Walmart only accepts coupons for merchandise we sell and only when presented at the time of purchase.
* Coupons should have an expiration date and be presented within the valid dates. Walmart will not accept expired coupons.
* Internet coupons should be legible and say "Manufacturer Coupon." There should be a valid remit address for the manufacturer and a scannable bar code.
* Only one coupon per item is permitted.
* Use of 40 or more coupons per transaction will require approval by Customer Service Manager.

Its important to know the facts about Walmart's coupon policy and be confident when you check out. I carry the Walmart Coupon Policy with me at all times. I have never had to use it, but it can be a lifesaver if the cashier/manager will not want to accept your coupons.

New Hidden Rebates at Walgreens for December

Loreal Age Perfect pro-calcium radiance perfector 1.7 oz
Its confirmed, another raincheck rebate for an item that was free last month - the Loreal age perfect pro-calcium radiance perfector 1.7 oz. Although it is not stated anywhere online even once you log in, it has been confirmed by some people that have contacted Easysaver costumer service. The product sells for $19.99, buy the product and enter the receipt number online and you will be credited the $19.99 for this product. (Read more about it here, thanks to Hot Coupon World).
Update: I have bought this product for the month of December and have gotten my rebate!
Glade Wisp Flameless Candle Starter Kit
This item will qualify for a $2.00 rebate, although it is unlisted online. Many Walgreen's stores do have a sign near this item stating this rebate. The Glade Flameless Candle starter kit is on sale this week (11/30- 12/6) at Walgreen's for $3.99, use the $3.00 MFQ from Smartsource 11/2 and pay only $0.99 and get back $2.00 with the Easysaver Rebate= $1.01 Profit. (Thanks, I heart Wags)
(I am unsure of the limit for this rebate, but will update as soon as I find out. I purchased 2 of these during the $5/$25 days (needed fillers) and will submit for the rebate. I am quite happy to learn now, that my trip was even more profitable.)

NEW! Walgreen's Deals for December 3 - 6, 2008

This is a real savings week at Walgreen's. First we get the $5/$25 and now we get an additional Register Reward deal valid from December 3-6.

*** Spend $25 and get $5 back with Register Rewards at checkout. Hurry back to Walgreen's because the Register Reward coupon will expire 12/13/08. Limit (1) coupon printed per offer. Ad does not state that the $25 spent must be after coupons, my guess is that as long as you spend the money you will get the RR.
Update 12/4: As long as you reach $25 prior to any coupons, you will receive a $5 Holiday Register Reward.
Here are some highlights of the 4 day ad:

Is Buying in Bulk Cheaper?

That's a great question so many of us ask as we are trying to calculate if joining a wholesale club will actually save us money and be the right thing for our family. There is no right or wrong answer as it depends on many factors that involve your family and your lifestyle. Here are some factors that need to be taken in account.
::: Membership costs vary from one wholesale club to the next. Calculate the membership cost per month (example: $40 year= $3.33 per month) and see if you are saving that kind of money when you shop each month. If you shop every other month, calculate your membership costs accordingly to see if your savings offset your expenses. Many employers offer discount memberships to wholesale clubs and many clubs also offer promotions for cheaper membership costs throughout the year, so look out for specials.

::: Size of your family, how much food/household items you need, storage space for all the bulk items. Consider how often you actually will shop at the store and what kind of products will you be getting. Consider the time saved in buying bulk vs many frequent grocery store trips. Take into account the amount of money you are able to lay out for one trip to the club. Many people cannot afford to spend $100 in one trip for (8) items, even though they will last for many months.

Keep in mind that bigger packages don't always mean its cheaper than buying a couple of small packages. When buying one cereal box in bulk you can only use 1 coupon and the cereal will rarely be on sale, however buying (2) boxes of cereal at the supermarket when its on sale (cereals are sale, pretty often) and using (2) coupons (one per box) will most often and most likely yield greater savings. I personally don't spend more than $1 per box of cereal at the drugstores, supermarkets, etc (since I combine sales with coupons, get the coupons doubled, take advantage of store reward programs and use rebates whenever possible), so buying (1) bulk box of cereal (which is equivalent to (2) boxes) at the average price of $6, even when using a $1 coupon will only cost me $5 for (2) boxes or $2.50 per box.


Other things to keep in mind is that wholesale clubs do sell many other things besides for diapers & cereal, such as milk, eggs, produce, meats, which you will most likely not have coupons for. If you are buying enough of a quantity of those items, then wholesale clubs are a winner for you. I personally have realized, the more of a pro I become at the drugstores, the less often I shop as wholesale clubs. I tend to get almost all of my household & personal products for free or pennies on the dollar at CVS, Walgreen's etc, that there is not much left to shop for in the wholesale clubs.

Although I have a discounted membership to BJ's (purchased through an employer) I still find great deals at the store, especially since I can stack store coupons with manufacturers coupons. I have learned over time which items are worthwhile to shop for at the wholesale club and which items can be gotten elsewhere for less money.

Other things that wholesale clubs offer are auto repair services (oil changes, tire rotation, etc), gas at some locations, clothing, books, electronics (small to big), jewelry, tires & more. So its worth to consider getting as much as possible out of the membership, obviously only if it will save you money. I love BJ's card section because they always have 50% off on all the brand name cards and gift supplies, its definitely a big savings there.


Coupon policies at the Wholesale Clubs:

BJ's - my favorite, will allow coupon stacking with their own coupons (they send them in the mail and they are found at the stores) and with manufacturers coupons. They also allow multiple coupons to be used for a multiple pack product (such as 8 pack of Pasta, can potentially be used with up to 8 manufacturers coupons + a store coupon).

Sam's Club - does not accept manufactures coupons. They do have minimal amount of store coupons.

Costco - does not accept manufacturers coupons either.

Even though wholesale clubs offer great savings, you will need to investigate & calculate your needs vs spending habits vs time vs location etc. Try out a discounted membership at the store of your choice and track your spending for the year. After that you will either be totally convinced of the savings or will not renew the membership for the following year.
