The couponing is the only reason I can still afford what I need.

You have to wait at liquidation sales until the discounts start rising… At my local Rite Aid it went up every week, and stuff only really started moving at 30-40% off.

How do You get manufacture coupons ?

I only went to big lots today for toilet paper and paper towels because I was able to stack a 20% off coupon and a $10 off $40 coupon that were sent to my email....other than that I wouldn't step foot in there.

You are correct RK. The economy is down the toilet!

Corporate greed! look at the amount of money. The higher-ups are making all these companies. They never stopped making more money but yet all their prices have gone up.

Yes, the signage is so misleading. I couldn't find that 40% off, and some food was at priced. Thanks for this info. It confirmed my thoughts.

SPOT ON with this one. I have rarely ever found deals at Big Lots. I do shop there occasionally, but it's certainly not my go to store. Your also spot on with the economy. Those of us that have been on this earth for more years than we care to mention see that.

Couponing has changed a lot so having a plan on what to purchase is very good it's great to stock up when there is a clearance sale.

Walmart is always my gauge on pricing at other stores. I was a broke couponer when I started. I did all the deals. I missed nothing. A bit wiser now. Only things I will use.

Corporate greed is a SOB. If it’s no 70% off not buying it

Add a hurricane hit, with out of pocket expenses plus excessive grocery expenses. Homeowners insurance is a joke & so is our economy right now.

So true

You are a a very smart shopper and I like it

Truth!! I can't believe anyone would think this economy is great. 🤦‍♀️. I live in California.....enough said. 😒

Big Lots is overpriced It says up to 40%. That means it could be 5% or 10%. Leave it! I agree they are misleading. They are shipping other stores.

As always thank you for a great video with great advice.

I only go to Walgreens and Dollor General.

Yeah, something is cooking and it smells bad Rachel I broke my foot five weeks ago. I’m a waitress. I have been eating on my job at least five days a week for the last year. I am considering going to the food pantry because I’m not making tips I’m getting Worker’s Comp. but that’s only 66% of my pay. I’ve never seen rental prices at what they are and next week I find out if they’re going to destroy my apartment complex to build new more expensive housing yeah something is cooking and I don’t like that smell of it. I’ve never made money like what I make now and I can’t afford to eat. 😢 If I can’t use it I can’t by it …. Food gas house that’s what’s needed 😢 just a little sidenote, and I doubt you ever even see this. You have no idea the amount of times you have literally saved people from being able to have the items they need or not having them at all. You are using your natural born gift of thriftiness, and you are sharing it with the rest of us, and that is one hell of a gift, my dear I know I’m not the only one out here on the struggle bus and I know I’m not the only one who has been grateful for your videos❤

We are in a recession (with a D and double p). Nobody wants to say it but it’s true. If no one is paying attention to many other nations working diligently to get out from under the petroleum dollar - they are on the verge of succeeding. Probably within six months. People don’t want to see what’s right in front of them. Buffet is dumping his assets left and right. It’s there if you look. Thanks for being honest and giving good advice. And posting all the deals. You help more than you know!

I recommend if anyone can… stock up on the non perishable first

The economy is not perfect, never has been. What amazes me is all of the people who can afford NFL football tickets, concerts, resort vacations, abundance of alcohol, jewelry/piecings/beautiful body art, and massive cart-fulls at Sam's and Costco. Who are these people? What do they do for a living? They cannot be the same people floating from place to place. I am very frugal and can say that my households is not stuggling (knock on wood), but it's hard for me to buy into a bad economy when I see so many others spending freely and lavishly.

Thank you for this video. It really makes you mindful of the times that we are living in.

I like to go through my pantry rotate stuff around and if it's getting close to the date and I know I'm not going to eat it I drop it off at the little pantries.

Yes something is cooking. The Bible tells us that things will get worse and worse. I want to stock up on things but most of all I want to be ready to meet the Lord whenever He comes or calls for me. I appreciate that you tell us about great deals. It really helps. ❤

Was talking to a employee at Walgreens she is a pharmacist they cut her hours so now she’s working the register times are hard and probably only going to get worse couponing can become very addicting been keeping a budget was realizing I was spending too much money. Thank you for a great video.❤

Agree 100%

I’m being very careful in my spending. Especially if it’s coming out of my pocket on things I don’t need. So I wait until I have rebate money and use it with coupons to make sure I’m not wasting out of my pocket on things I don’t need. I’m focusing on things my family needs or will need and take advantage on sales as long as I have rebate money. That’s how I’m helping myself 🙏🏻

we are in a greedflation period right now, every CEO thinks he should be making $65 million a year. simple fact profits are crazy high in every sector. consumers need to stop buying over priced stuff. ask mc Donald's they over priced the market and sales have dropped.

Well said RK. A good reminder !

I agree Running Kimono 😊. Thanks for your thoughts.

Thanks for sharing, I agree to all that you said!

I agree!

You are spot on.. that’s why this election is so important. Thanks for all you do.

It’s super important to not spend money on something you don’t need just because it’s a sale or a deal. If money is tight be mindful of doing a deal it will come around again. My hubby is out of work and we didn’t see that coming so I’m extra cautious now. Thanks for your videos 😊

I'm going on vacation and I went through ibotta to get my room to get money back. You are correct on trying to save money and watching your budget. Thank you for all you do to help us all save money. You are amazing

Agreed Appalachias Homestead- Patara gives advice like this

Thank you for acknowledging that!

Agree with you 100%. Thank you.

I went in today and was told (at least in AZ) they won’t mark down past 70% 😢

With the body wash can the coupons be used multiple times?

Love, love your videos🎉❤

Tfs

i went to coupon at walgreens and one of my register rewards didn’t print i called the catalina number they have me. they told me to go to their website and fill out a paper but when i called back because they told me no offer was found. they told me that they don’t print register rewards? so what do i do now?

😊

My store was out of mounds but they gave me the almond joy for the same price! Woo Hoo!!!!

My fetch rebate for dove is for sams club

Could you explain how to use % off store paper coupons. I received a 20% off $30 store coupon and I have no idea how to use it. Can I use it on "sale items"? Can I use points? What about a manufactured coupon (rr) ?

Thanks for the deals

i'm a little confused about the ibotta rebates . i though you had to clip the rebate before you shop but you said during the video to hold onto your receipts in case a rebate come up . The question is if the rebate pops up how can you submit it if it was not clipped prior to purchase ?
