Good luck in 2022! I'm also trying to move away from a scarcity mindset. It's hard to strike a balance between being financially responsible and also allowing yourself to enjoy purchases!

It’s so hard. Once my emergency fund was funded I found a lot of peace. When there wasn’t enough money in there and I was planning on quiting my job that was scary. I stockpiled money until I found a new job. Thankfully I found a new one before my contract was due, so I was able to quit my job with a back up plan.

Very nice haul and I'm sorry to hear about the experience you had at Target. Goodness it sounded like a horrible experience. I'm trying to figure out why they are upset about couponing if they get reimbursed, very weird. Thanks for sharing the deals!
@rachaelv11403 жыл бұрын
Thanks for commenting. I even did the survey at the bottom of my receipt which I never do. I do not like this specific manager. They get the money back for the coupons, so there is no reason to be this way.

You are absolutely amazing. What stores do you usually do your grocery shopping at? Do you ever stock up on water? Can you possibly do some in store grocery shopping videos? I think it would be awesome if you could show how you do your full shopping trip
@rachaelv11403 жыл бұрын
I actually don’t buy water. Just use my water bottle all the time. I grocery shop at hyvee, Fareway, and Aldi. I’ve actually been doing a pantry challenge this year, so my grocery bill has been really minimal because I need to use things up. I think there are a lot of great you tubers who do in store videos. I’m not quite comfortable yet, but someday I might be.

Does ibotta pay you right away when you checkout?
@rachaelv11404 жыл бұрын
You need to pay at checkout and then you submit your receipt to ibotta. Once you have $20 in Ibotta you can redeem it for PayPal or gift cards, so long answer is you are going to need to have the cash to pay for your purchases, but if the Ibotta deals are good you get up to $20 pretty quickly.

Almost always because then I don’t have to worry about a cashier not wanting to take my coupons. It is amazing how many cashiers don’t know anything about coupons. I had a cashier at Walgreens that had no idea and had to go get a manager.

I love carried away too. That one is definitely in my top five favorite BBW scents of all time. I know some people say they think it smells bad like sour milk or something but I don't get that at all. I think it smells like fresh flowers and raspberries and it is slightly tart but so fresh and clean and I love it so much. They should have never put it on as an online only scent because when they run out of it it will be discontinued forever :(
