Tightwad Tip #3: Store mailing lists

Get on the mailing lists of stores you frequent and they will send you coupons by e-mail.  Cub Foods, Walgreen's, and CVS all have mailing lists.  CVS and Walgreens typically send coupons that are $5 off of a $25 purchase.  Essentially a 20% discount.  I use opportunities like these to get free items.  Last week I got two cans of coffee free at CVS using their coupon.  Another week I used a similar coupon at Walgreen's and got 4 bottles of Diet  Coke for free.  One week Cub Foods sent me a coupon for $2 off any chicken purchase.  The next week they had boneless skinless thighs Buy One Get One Free $3.99 a package.  I used my $2 off coupon and another $.55 cent off peelie attached to the package and received two packages of bonelesss sknless thighss for $1.45.

If you plan on subscrbing to many store mailing lists you should consider getting a separate e-mail address so  your personal e-mail doesn't get bogged down.
