Hello Everyone!
I wanted to share my savings story on my recent trip to Walgreen's, I spent $1.42 out of pocket and netted 8 items and a $3 Register Rewards ($ off coupon for next visit!).
I got:
2 Glade Spray Air Freshners (Buy 1 Get 1 Free Coupon)
Business Envelopes- in store coupon
4 Peanut Butter Cups (Buy 1 Get 1 Free Coupon + In store promo free Coke Zero)
Colgate Toothbrush
1 8x10 photo collage (free with photo promo code)
To obtain these items on the cheap I used a combination of coupons, in store weekly ad coupons, previously earned register rewards ($7) to save lots of money! I also earned a $3 register reward to be used on my next purchase. This strategy is known as stacking, save coupons until you can combine them with in store promos for even more savings! It's fun!
Happy Saving!

Savings Tip- Science Factory Membership
Hello All-
I want to remind you of a great facility in Eugene, OR that offers a vast array of classes, open exploration time, planetarium, free/special events. The Science Factory in Eugene (near Autzen) has all kinds of cool science finds.
I highly encourage you spring for a membership, they start at $55 a year, but if you look at all the freebies with membership and you have at least 1 child you will save money so more kids equals even great savings!
The one easy way to make back your membership investment is to go to the weekly planetarium shows or if you have kids 5 and under the Tot Discovery Days that happen the 1st Friday of each month. If you go 1 time/month the membership pays for itself and you can use it at other science museums around Oregon/U.S.
Happy Saving!

Blog Changes-Announced
Hi Everyone!
I am making some changes to this blog so I wanted to update you with them. With the school year approaching and my priorities shifting, I won't have as much time to work with the blog as I have in the past and I am discovering some great savings blogs out there that are great for anyone wanting to save money and I will be sharing those with you.
This blog will change to a slightly more local feel as many of the other blogs cover the large chains, etc. You can get great information on those, but I will also post items of this content on my facebook page so please add me as a friend on facebook (Summer Olsen Highfill) as it is easier for me to put quick savings things I have seen on there vs. the blog and you can get more up-to-date items this way.
I will still be offering savings seminars (some free, some low cost) and will announce those here as well. I am also considering becoming a couponizer coach..more to follow on this!

Savings Story-Walgreens + Coupons
Hello All-
Just love to share savings stories and this one is like many, hold coupons and when a deal comes along at a retail store combine those coupons and buy items you use that are on sale that week, combining with manufacturer coupons whenever possible to rake in the savings!
This week I got $44 worth of products at Walgreen's for just $20! Over 50% savings!
Walgreen's this week was offering a $5 off $25 coupon, I always use these, as it is instant savings. The next few days in store they have a "meal deal", get coupon on Walgreens.com "weekly ad" tab, it was a Digiorno pizza, coke 12 pack and ice cream for $10! That got me halfway to my $25 tab I needed, so I pulled out my couponizer and gathered all the coupons that would work for items at Walgreen's pairing them with the coupons from the weekly ad for Walgreen's if possible for added savings. Remember, you can combine a store coupon with a manufacturers coupon for additional savings!
I got:
1-12" Digorno Pepperoni Pizza
8 pack Bonnie Belle lip gloss
12 Pack Coca Cola cans
Pert Plus Shampoo
Dreyers Ice Cream, 48 oz.
Visine Eye Drops
2-Bounty Paper Towel Rolls
2-Glade Air Freshner/Odor Eliminator
I used $6.28 in Walgreen's coupons, $4.87 in advertised sales from items I purchased and $11.24 in manufacturer's coupons for a great deal of savings! You can do this too, it is super easy and it doesn't take much time.
Happy Saving!
