Jodi, I found them in the front of my store near the weekly and monthly ad.
In store usually at the front.
shannon i have been wanting to ask about whether shopping deals with the +ups and ECBs is worth it anymore? it seems like this year the deals aren’t consistent enough for me to risk getting ECBs or +ups. last year i was consistently getting low price or FREE toothpaste, toothbrushes, shaving cream, razors, shampoo, and body wash. this year i have gotten 1 free toothpaste. am i missing the deals and getting lazy or did you see this big of a change too? i just don’t shop anymore because i don’t want to let ECBs go to waste on full price stuff that i could buy at walmart cheaper. (i usually end up spending them on milk when there is not a good deal)
Jen,
Interesting question. I can see how you felt this way, I had felt this way too. I recently started getting back into it regularly and here is what I am finding. It is worth it, and I just have to work a little harder. Yes I was being a bit lazy, hoping that the deals would just fall into my lap each week. I am carefully rolling my UPR to make the most of it.
Here are my last two trips before this one:

I haven’t bought one thing that I didn’t need either.
Hope that helps.

Thanks Shannon! I have been a bit lazy too! I guess we all need a break sometimes. I have just been looking for FREE and passing if it cost anything. I am starting to get low on things and I realize that if I want to save money, I need to get back in the game (it really is a game). It’s a bit of work having to run out sunday mornings and get the paper, clip and organize the coupons, watching for deals, and having to shop. I need an easier way!
