LATE NIGHT DIAPER DEAL TONIGHT ONLY!!!!!

I never thought I would be the mom that I am today, a mom that gets excited about diaper sales at CVS at 9:25 pm; a mom that gets so excited, she runs home and blogs about it by 9:45 pm. Well apparently I am that type of mom, because I just got back from CVS and immediately hopped on the computer to tell you this: CVS sells Huggies Slip-Ons (not my favorite, but they get the job done), for $21.99 per Jumbo Pack. They currently are running a BOGO 50% off on these packs. If you combine this deal with coupons, it breaks down to an amazing price point! (I think)

It's like getting one package of diapers for FREEEEEE !!!!!

The Policy Police

When shopping, you should always have a printed copy of the store coupon policy with you. Here are the printable policies for Target, VON'S ,  Ralph's, and Albertsons. CVS does not have a coupon policy online, you must request it from them or you can go here to get the gist (I’ve always wanted to type that word) of their policy.

Here is a quick rundown on each store. Target, I live there. No, I really do. I go so often, I’m surprised they don’t charge me rent (even if they did, I would have a coupon for that too.) Target is awesome because they usually accept printed coupons no problem, AND you can stack coupons (See Vanessa’s amazing article). Target offers the most store coupons which makes couponing there a breeze; a hot, sexy breeze full of amazing deals...

VON'S also accepts printed coupons and allows stacking (but they offer a very limited amount of store coupons for this opportunity.) The one bonus that VON'S offers is "doubling coupons" up to $1.00. So basically, one coupon per item can be “doubled” or have its value increased to $1.00. Coupons that are $1.00 or more will be redeemed at face value. Ralph’s and VON'S coupon policies are almost identical. I like this fact, because then it makes it easier for me to go to the market, and I all I have to do is compare the prices at each store on the item's I need. Ralph’s is where I go for meat, because meat is “Le Expensive” (very expensive in fancy speak) everywhere else.
