Staples: $7 Charmin 16-roll beginning Sunday (2/19)

Have you noticed the buzz a good price on toilet paper gets around the couponing community?  Toilet paper is the rock star of the coupon world!  So, if you're a groupie (like me) you'll be happy to know that Staples will have Charmin on sale beginning Sunday (2/19)!

You should always think about the Toilet Paper Rule when shopping for the white, fluffy stuff.  The rule says that a true stock-up price is when the Square Foot of TP is equal to or less than the Price after any available coupons.  Right now there is a 25-cent off one package coupon from the 1/29 P&G insert that you can use making your after coupon price $6.75.  Not bad for 16 rolls of the white, fluffy stuff, right?  It's not a true stock-up price because the square foot for these packages is 501-584.5 square feet.  But, $6.75 gets you to within a buck of your goal price and I'd say it's a good deal if you need toilet paper next week.

You can get a little more savings if you have the "$1 off two Charmin" coupon from the Always liners box!  But, of course, you have to purchase two packages!  You'll pay $13 plus tax for 32-rolls of tp.

Coupon for Change (2/15-2/21)

Coupon for Change is a new weekly post to go along with the Coupon Matchups.  It's simply a list of $1 and under items that would make great donation items. 

Spend $1 each week as you shop and add the item(s) to your donation box.  When your box is full, drop it off at your favorite food bank!  You'll barely notice spending that extra dollar at the checkout. 

But, you will notice what a wonderful thing you're doing when your dontation box begins to overflow!  Just remember, check the expiration dates as you shop.  You'll want to get items that won't expire for a while, I look for an expiration date around May 2013.
