Still not giving up!!

2010-09-30T01:19:00.003-05:00

Ha!

So despite the fact that it has been a year since I said I had a new plan for this blog, I still have that plan and will hopefully put it into place soon!

My hope is to have this be a starting point for people wanting to start saving money by shopping with coupons, so that I have one specific place to guide people who ask me about it!

While you wait, go visit my personal blog at http://daisysfavoritethings.wordpress.com

Blog updates!

*If this is your first time visiting my blog, go here first to learn how it works!*

I am not giving up on my blog!! I am currently working on writing some new posts and working things out so that it can be more "self-running!" Doing the deals takes up so much time as it is, that I can get quite overwhelmed with the blog updates too!

My true goal is to be able to give others a place where they can get started couponing and working the deals, then direct them elsewhere to the best sites which list the actual deals!

So hopefully sometime within the next few weeks, I'll be up and running completely!

I am also working on opening up an Etsy shop (yipes!), revamping my old blog Daisy's Favorite Things, and running some giveaways on both blogs!

So, please don't forget about me! Keep me in your reader, bookmarks, etc and get ready to see some great new things soon!

Super Savings Saturday

2009-08-15T23:45:00.001-05:00

*If this is your first time visiting my blog, go here first to learn how it works!*

If you aren't using coupons.....here's just a little taste of what you are missing out on!

All of this......cost me....well...it cost me nothing! :o) In fact, I made money on it! Kroger is having triple coupons in Nashville stores near Harris Teeters (who are also tripling this week, but I haven't even bothered with this great stuff!!)

The above picture was 3 trips worth of stuff (3 boxes of Rice Krispies are missing because I gave them away already!). I essentially paid a little under $1 for 2 trips together, got $1.55 back in change for another (they scanned 2 coupons twice, and still gave me the money- although I promise I pointed it out and told them they should take 2 off!), AND walked out with $6 in catalina coupons which are good for my next visit off of anything in the store!

The cherry on top?? Obviously, there are more than enough items there to apply for the Kellogg's/Keebler Fuel for School Rebate, so I'll get back $10 more when I send in for that. Stupid me, somewhere between the store and the house lost a box of crackers AND my reciept but fortunately had just enough coupons to make it worth my while to go get more rebate items! How you just lose a box of crackers confuses me more than the reciept- I've had to chase those down in parking lots before because I've needed them for rebates!!

All in all, I walked away with tons of free stuff and made $15!!! Plus lots of stuff to give away! (milk, anyone??)

That's not even mentioning the 4 other trips I've made to Kroger triples.......

Sound like a lot of visits to Kroger, but since I have 2 stores participating so close to each other, I just hit them both on the way home! I don't have my exact totals on these, but I know that I spent either right at $1 or under for each trip!

Have to say, that while I hope Kroger triples come back again often, I sure hope they never get as crazy as Harris Teetter, where there are too many restrictions (Only 3 of each coupon, 2 internet coupons...way more rules!), too many people, and not enough restocking! I walked in HT the first day of triples, and walked right back out and headed to Kroger! It was the craziest time I have ever seen a supermarket- like Walmart on Black Friday (If everyone had a coupon binder on Black Friday!)

I was super mad at Kroger last week because they wouldn't let me use some coupons when I knew that they could be. But I *heart* Kroger at the moment! :o)

Free Movie Monday happens once a month now, so get it while you can!

Visit your local Redbox, enter in the code FIRST, then pick your movie!

Free Code: 27HZ4KT

Code expires midnight Central time tonight Aug 3rd! You can even use it more than ones if you use different credit/debit cards!

To find out if you have a Redbox location near you, visit here. Many Walgreen's, McDonald's and Walmart stores have Redbox movie "vending machines." You can also use the Redbox site to view movies at each location to make sure they have what you want before you go! Just don't reserve them online or you can't use the code!

These codes are also still working if you haven't used them yet! DVDATWAG (walgreen's stores only!), BREAKROOM, and DVDONME. That makes for a lot of free movies- just make sure you return them before 9 the next night! The regular fee is $1 per day, so not too bad either!

Harris Teeter Super Doubles

2009-07-22T00:29:00.004-05:00

*If this is your first time visiting my blog, go here first to learn how it works!*

Another week of Harris Teeter Super Doubles starts today! Last time I made out pretty well, but I still like Triples better!

Here's the deal with Super Double Coupons-

Coupons under $1.99 will double
Really that means look for $1 and $1.50 coupons since you're not likely to find one for $1.98!
All other coupon rules are the same as usual (20 per day, 3 of a kind, etc., see below!)
Super Doubles goes from 7/22-7/28!

Basics of HT-

Sign up for a reward card at customer service to get the discounted prices
Register your card for e-VIC to get special email discounts!
Harris Teeter doubles coupons up to .99 everyday.
Occasionally the store runs TRIPLE coupons or Super Double coupons (up to $1.98) where lots of fantastic freebies can be found. Check back here to find out when that is happening!
They double (or triple) 20 coupons per day, per household, which includes only 3 each of the same coupon.
You can see their entire coupon policy here .
They often run great Buy One, Get One free (or buy 2, get 3 free!) sales. Normally, you do NOT have to buy the required amount to get the discounted price. Ex if an item costs $2 and is BOGO, you can buy 1 at $1.
You can visit their Express Lane to get prices for your local store.

A few extra tips

It varies by cashier as to whether or not you can use more than one coupon on a BOGO deal. If they won't let you, just ask them to take off all but one and come back later to get more!
Don't try to use more than 20 coupons per trip because after 20 they won't triple! (unless your ones after 20 aren't ones you want to double/triple, then you may be able to use those! Just give them last)
Many cashiers scrutinize every coupon during triples closely, so you may not be able to use any that say "do not double," even though the register will automatically do it if they start with a 5.
Free and super cheap items often run out quickly, so go early or ask what days your store gets in shipments so you can go back those days.

*Special note about prices and coupons*

I have cross checked all of these prices with our local Nashville Express Lane, so that is why you may see some variance from other lists. Although I did look up many coupons in Hot Coupon World's database, I have not verified these coupons to make sure that the printables are still available or that they perfectly match up with the products. As soon as I have verified them, I'll make any necessary changes!

Saturday Savings

2009-07-18T14:53:00.003-05:00

*If this is your first time visiting my blog, go here first to learn how it works!*

Another crazy week has made me a little lax on posting, and on shopping, but I have gotten in a few good deals!!! I plan to hit Publix a few more times before the sale cycle ends on Tues.

CVS-

Took advantage of all of the free school supply goodies, and the free photo book which I made for our first wedding anniversary coming up next Sunday...in fact, I'm getting ready to go make another book for my friend's 30th bday present- coming up later this week! Since I had plenty of ECB's, I spent under $1 tax included for everything!

Tomorrow starts a new 3 day sale with another bunch of free school stuff- don't miss out!

Publix-

I'm wayyyy too tired to list all of these out, but I was soooo proud of this shop and all of the overage I got from it! I would've repeated several of these deals already, but I had to leave town on short notice, so I'll get there again a few times before Tues, I hope!!

Everything in the back/right was stuff I needed, that wasn't necessarily on sale- soup, frozen veggies, fresh produce, and baked beans. If there isn't a good sale, I use overage to pay for store brand items (not always cheaper if there is a sale!!). The strawberries and blue berries were much more than last week, but I used a $2/$5 Food Lion coupon along with the overage to pay for it!

My total was around $4.50- a little over $1 before tax. I miscaluculated a bit because I had an extra bandaid coupon in my stack, so I threw in some more stuff to cover the amount the coupons would take off- otherwise I would've left an item out so my total before tax was as low as possible....still I shouldn't complain about it being a $1, right?! :o)

Visit I Love Publix to see her breakdown of deals- many of which are the same as mine!

Meijer-

This was my first Meijer "shop!" I was up in OH helping my bro out with a youth camping trip, and despite being exhausted and desparately ready to get home, I couldn't pass up a chance to use some coupons on their amazing clearance deals!

I've often stopped at Meijer to check out clearance, but I've never "grocery/coupon" shopped there!

I spent around $10 on all of this- not fantastic compared to my usual shops, but not bad either!

The Kraft dressing was a money maker- on sale for $1.50, used $1/1 coupons, and got back a $2 of your next order catalina!! And paid noooo tax! Yay, for no food tax in OH! :o)

I then took that $2 coupon and bought the strawberries -$.99 GREAT price!, Gold Star chili to take home (I stopped by the restaurant to eat my fave coney's too though- it is an addiction and a MUST when I'm in Northern KY or OH!) $1.99 on sale - cheaper than buying cans at the restaurant!, and some clearance candles, scrapbook stickers and the cute shell bowl which perfectly matches my house and was only $2.25!

It was a bit of a splurge because if I had truly been frugally shopping, I would've only gotten the salad dressing then 2 strawberries and a $.14 candle probably! However, I LOVE wandering around this store checking out all the clearance...believe me I could've done more damage, and several things when into my cart only to come back out later, since I'd promised myself I wouldn't spend more than $10!

Mocha Monday

2009-07-13T16:23:00.002-05:00

*If this is your first time visiting my blog, go here first to learn how it works!*

With free Redbox movies not being every Monday anymore, here's a little something else to brighten your Mondays!

McDonald's is giving out free iced or hot Mochas every Monday from 7am-7pm from now until August 3rd! I believe these are sample sized, but no coupon or other purchase is required!

I've had both hot and iced- and they are pretty decent- much cheaper than Starbucks, even when they aren't free!

You may have seen the commercial for these, but you might want to call your local store just to make sure they are participating!

Also, if you are in desperate need of a free movie still- the code DVDATWAG is still working at Walgreen's Redbox locations, and at any location DVDONME or BREAKROOM are still good! Just make sure you use a debit/credit card you haven't used with it before!

I'm a bit late on this, but it was a week worth sharing!! It was almost an ALL Publix week for me- finding sooo many things that gave overage! Most of that is thanks to a fellow Nashville blogger I just discovered- I Love Publix. She does an AMAZING job using overage and combinine competitor/store/manufacturer coupons to score GREAT deals, and I am LOVING her inspiration!

Trips #1-5 (last week's sale cycle)

This was my 5 trips to Publix for last week's sales combined! I made several little trips because I was usually just stopping in on my way running by, and also made one whole transaction just to use overage on a birthday card and gift bag I needed to buy ($2 for a gift bag is crazy, but not so bad when I can get it for free by using coupons on other items!

All of the items highlighted in green are things you can still get, so I marked the coupons!

6-Apple and Eve Juice (tiny boxes for $1.39)- FREE + overage (Still good using $.50/1 from Greenwise magazine and $1/1 in Summertime Savings Book!)
2-Cool Whip - $.25 each
2-Velveeta Shells- $.75 each
7- Dannon Danonino Yogurt- FREE (Still good using $1/1 in Summertime Savings Book!)
4-Glad Snack Bags- FREE + overage

9-Carfree Pantiliners - FREE + Overage (Still good using $3/3 in Green Advantage Buy flyer and $.50 ip or $1/1 I had from various magazines!)
1-Raid Wasp/Hornet- $.69 (others were free but I needed wasp kind for a nest on my porch!)
1-Raid Ant & Roach- FREE + (really barely enough overage to cover the tax!)

5- Tylenol Arthritis - FREE + Overage (Still good using $2/1 manufacturers coupon from 5/17 RP or 6/21 SS and $2/1 store coupon from Summertime Savings Book)

2- Breakstone's Sour Cream - $.75 each

4-Tortilla Chips/Penny Item -$.01

1-Hershey's Syrup= $.88

4-Bananas (rang up each separate to cover coupons!)- $.74
1-Publix soda- $.50
2-Corn- $.20 each

1-Zuccini- $.91

2-Baking Potatoes - $1.25
1-bread- $.89
1-Hot dog buns- $.99

1-Mushroom- $1.99

Not Pictured:

Coffee Filters (left them in car!) - $1.39

Birthday Card- $2

Gift Bag- $1.99

Total Spent- $11.50
$5.08 before taxes (dang those TN food taxes!)

You'll notice I got a lot of "little" amounts of produce, this is because I like to buy it using overage or throw in one or two to account for an item that has 2 coupons attached to it. You're allowed to use more coupons than items but it requires a manager override and I like to avoid that! I often bag and ring the items separately to count for more than one item!

Trip #6 for last week's sale cycle!

I actually needed pork and charcoal, so I decided to do the charcoal deal since it was still on sale at Publix! I know I didn't do as well as some with this deal, but we were grilling that night and having porkchops with in-laws the next so I figured I'd see how I could do! I probably should've done it along with items that gave more overage, but I'd already used up a lot of my coupons!

2 pks pork- $5.56- ends up being FREE + with $6 off pork wyb charcoal coupon

1- glad bags- FREE +
3- A-1 steak sauce - FREE + (these were only free at one Publix and cheap at the rest, I've noticed my Nipper's Corner store prices often less than other stores I visit!)
1- KC Masterpiece BBQ sauce- FREE (Free wyb Charcoal coupon)

1- Kingsford Charcoal- $3.99

1- Milk $2.25

1- Ball Park hot dog- $1

Total Spent- $8.04 ($2 of that was tax!)

Not my best, but not bad when we needed these things!

Trip#1- Current Publix Sales cycle

Everything you see in the back was stuff that we "needed." Everything in the front was free +, which I bought to pay for everything else! The only repeat deal here is they tylenol, which I discovered I had more coupons for!

ALL of these deals are still good through 7/14, the overage deals are good for awhile after still!

9- J&J first aid- FREE + (Used $1/1 manufacturer coupons and $3/3 Green Advantage Buy flyer- there are possibly some $3/2 mf coupons out there to make this a better deal!)

4-Tylenol Arthritis - FREE + Overage (Still good using $2/1 manufacturers coupon from 5/17 RP or 6/21 SS and $2/1 store coupon from Summertime Savings Book)

2- Muir Glen tomato sauce- FREE + (enough overage to cover tax!)

1- Knox gelatin - FREE + with $4 ip

Strawberries- $2.50

Blueberries- $1.67
Mushrooms $1.50

4- Cream of Chicken and Mushroom soups- $.65 each
Pancake Syrup- $2.39

Apples- $.95
Potato- $.68
Onion- $.83

Total Spent- $4.36

$.32 before taxes!! Wow, don't I wish we had no food tax (have to remind myself constantly we're lucky to not have state income tax!)

Without buying all of those things that gave overage, I would've spent much more on the things I needed. While those produce prices do seem steep for the small amount I got, it's worth it to buy small when there are just two of us!

I am working on reformatting the way that I list deals! My goal is to be able to assist people who are just starting out and I'm afraid that by listing so many deals my "teaching" is getting lost by the wayside! My new goal is to post links to the best match ups, along with my shopping tips- and specifically detailed ones for places I shop at often!

I also plan to be more detailed about my own shopping trips (and you can pick up good deals from there!), and highlight some specific sales going on around Nashville (ie- Harris Teeter Triples and Kroger's competition with them!)

That said....here's some links to stores that are currently running sales from Wed-Tues

PUBLIX

Southern Savers (comprehensive list)
Fiddle-dee-dee (Great for FL and coastal GA shoppers)
I Love Publix (great for hidden, overage, clearance and low out of pocket transactions!)

HARRIS TEETER

Southern Savers (best overall, but look for tips from readers in comments since she herself is not a Harris Teeter shopper!)
Faithful Provisions (local Nashville blog)

FOOD LION

Southern Savers (lots of little store brand items for free using some of the coupons below!)
Food Lion printable coupons (also can be used at Publix!)

Bi-Lo

Southern Savers
I'm looking for any other blogs that cover Bi-lo, to help out my SC readers, if anyone knows of any!

Any other stores you'd like me to list deals for? Comment or shoot me an email!

Saturday Savings!

2009-06-27T15:21:00.002-05:00

*If this is your first time visiting my blog, go here first to learn how it works!*

Finally I'm back into the swing of things! I'm glad that grocery stores have been so great lately because I haven't even missed anything at the drugstores, really! I did it a few CVS stores this week trying to do a couple deals, and then hit Harris Teeter pretty hard this week for Super Doubles (still going on through Tuesday!)

Harris Teeter

Trip #1

My frist trip to HT cost me $6.09. Over $2 of that was tax (tax is higher this go-around because the original coupon amount being taxed is higher with $1/$1.50 coupons!), $2 was for the drink mixes, and $2 was for the cheese- which I made back by earning a $2 off your next order catalina.

Trip #2

This trip cost me $2.76. Just under $2 was for tax. I essentially got the milk free by using the $2 catalina from the previous trip, and the only thing I really "paid for" was the corn- great deal at 8/$2 or $.25 apiece!

I was pretty happy with my first 2 trips- everything I wanted was in stock! My only problems were finding the correct sale items because a LOT were not marked (and some still aren't!) so I had to look them up in the ads and check a few on Express Lane in between trips so I'd know which flavor/scent, etc. to buy!

Trip #3 and #4

This is trip #3 and #4 combined because I forgot to take a pic until trip #4! Missing is another Jimmy Dean meal and a can of Pringles, because they were eaten before I got around to taking a pic! I also bought some sour cream because we needed it and forgot it in the pic since I was just looking for triples items and forgot about it!

Total for these 2 trips combined= $4.06- other than the $1.50 for the sour cream, the rest is ALL tax since I got all free items!

HT TOTALS= $12.91
Wow!!! :o)

I'm pretty happy with that since I got a lot of stuff we needed, like milk, cheese, ice cream (yeah that's a need!!), and a lot of stockpile stuff I was running low on!

PUBLIX

My Publix trip is an example of buying things you don't really need, to get things you do need cheaper!

My in laws are in town, so we've been running through lots of coffee and creamer. I was out of coupons for creamer, and needed some more!

I was able to spend only $.65 tax and all on the above to get the creamer for much cheaper than buying it alone. The cereal was free, and everything else was a money maker- even if a small one, so they helped pay for the creamer!

KROGER

There were a few okay sales at Kroger this week, but nothing I really needed- except for strawberries! They were only $1.50 a package and were much higher at Harris Teeter and Publix this week! I also picked up some lemons and limes to make lemonade/limade just like I used to have in Honduras and Mexico! (Thanks to My Penny Pile for posting the link!)

I spent just at $10 on the above, which was a little steeper than I'd like to pay, but we are desperately craving fruit right now!

ALDI'S

No picture, but I spent around $25 this week at Aldi's this week trying to stock us back up on some fruits, veggies, chicken and shrimp! For the most part their prices are the lowest everyday price- although I did find the above things at Kroger cheaper!

CVS

No picture here either, but I got some great deals and Extra Care Bucks on free Therma Care wraps, and Soy Joy bars and used some of the ECB's from those to buy Folgers coffee which was also a great deal at $5.99 for a huge canister! I almost never keep coffee around because the hubby doesn't drink it, but we needed it with the in-laws in town for awhile, so I was happy to find it basically for free!

Harris Teeter Super Doubles!

2009-06-23T23:46:00.004-05:00

*If this is your first time visiting my blog, go here first to learn how it works!*

I've been so crazy I haven't even shopped lately (if you notice my last real post is my finds at HT/Kroger triples from last month- that's really the last time I shopped!)

Just when we've gotten used to triples once a month at Harris Teeter, they pull a fast one on us, and this week is Super Doubles!

Coupons under $1.99 will double
Really that means look for $1 and $1.50 coupons since you're not likely to find one for $1.98!
All other coupon rules are the same as usual (20 per day, 3 of a kind, etc., see below!)

I'm actually plesantly surprised at the amount of free items, especially because they are actually DIFFERENT things from the usual triples stuff! I do hope that this doesn't replace triples, however!

Super Doubles goes from 6/24-6/30!

Basics of HT-

Sign up for a reward card at customer service to get the discounted prices
Register your card for e-VIC to get special email discounts!
Harris Teeter doubles coupons up to .99 everyday.
Occasionally the store runs TRIPLE coupons where lots of fantastic freebies can be found. Check back here to find out when that is happening!
They double (or triple) 20 coupons per day, per household, which includes only 3 each of the same coupon.
You can see their entire coupon policy here .
They often run great Buy One, Get One free (or buy 2, get 3 free!) sales. Normally, you do NOT have to buy the required amount to get the discounted price. Ex if an item costs $2 and is BOGO, you can buy 1 and $1.
You can visit their Express Lane to get prices for your local store.

A few extra tips

It varies by cashier as to whether or not you can use more than one coupon on a BOGO deal. If they won't let you, just ask them to take off all but one and come back later to get more!
Don't try to use more than 20 coupons per trip because after 20 they won't triple! (unless your ones after 20 aren't ones you want to double/triple, then you may be able to use those!)
Many cashiers scrutinize every coupon during triples closely, so you may not be able to use any that say "do not double," even though the register will automatically do it if they start with a 5.
Free and super cheap items often run out quickly, so go early or ask what days your store gets in shipments so you can go back those days.

FREE ITEMS

I'm only listing free items, since I honestly think you can get better deals on most of the other stuff during triples or other stores sales....still there are some good cheap things if you need them so check out Hot Coupon World for more deals!

All of these are completely free, and most likely will not give overage.

I apologize for the lack of posts recently!!

Things have been so nuts lately that I haven't even had the time to shop in the past 2 weeks!

My BFF had a baby and halfway through my visit in NC, I had to return to take care of a very sick hubby (who still hasn't fully recovered!), had a yard sale, down to one car for this week, AND we're headed to Chicago today to pick up my in-laws who are coming to stay with us for most of the summer, so I've also been getting the house ready for them!

That said....I've barely even had time to glance at deals going on lately!!

Please visit my links on the right side of the page to find deals until I get back, hopefully next week!

Saturday Savings

2009-06-06T22:44:00.001-05:00

*If this is your first time visiting my blog, go here first to learn how it works!*

I've been so busy with being out of town every weekend for awhile now, shopping with triple coupons, and surrounded by babies (brand new BFF's baby born today too!) that I've been slacking around the blog lately!

I haven't been shopping as much as usual but I do have some great deals to report!! Technically some of this was last weeks too but I was out of town and officially they were all from sales/triples still carrying over to this week!

Harris Teeter

I did really well the first two days! However there was only enough in stock to hit my 20 coupon limit per day on the first day!

Then the last day they were out of a lot, and I was also running a little lower on coupons! I threw in a couple small Walgreen's Register Rewards to help pay for the detergent, which was the only stuff that wasn't free out of all of the above! And it was only $1.24 a bottle! So I really paid nearly nothing but taxes on all of my triples runs!

Kroger

Triples were great again this time, although I may have like them better the last! Both of these pictures are from several trips each, and you can tell that the pickins were also getting slimmer on my last few Kroger trips! I still think Kroger is easier that HT's triples (since it's less widely known!), but many things were still out of stock towards the end! The only tricky part is some of the coupons weren't in their system and they had to manually enter them....turned out to often be a good thing (if they could figure it out, one trip I stood in line for almost 20 min because the girl was alone, it was late, self checkout was the only thing open and there were LOTS of customers including another woman with lots of coupons!) because they often gave overage!! Technically, the coupons only triple up to the price of an item to just give it to you free....I even tried to tell them on my first trip to make sure a certain coupon didn't give me more than it was supposed to....well, I walked out that trip paying $.10 for 20 things, tax and all! So no complaining here!

Just a few things like the french fries and hot pockets weren't free or nearly free, so with at least a $1 overage each time, I barely paid anything but tax (and sometimes less than tax!) on all of the trips! Oh and the Pepsi wasn't really even on sale, but the overage on deoderant ate some of that!

Publix

I had great intentions of getting to Publix more often than I did, but it just didn't happen with so much else going on! I did get a raincheck for the free plus overage dog food, so I'll try that again when its back in stock (they were still out as of Friday when it wasn't even on sale any more!)

I'm completely crazy about Publix overage, and their acceptance of competitor coupons! I feel like I'm really getting in a stride with shopping there, and usually get most of my "have to have" items without coupons there now. It's making me buy things I don't need- like the dog food, when I have no dog and mustard, which I have more than enough of! But when they give such great overage to pay for other things I need (like the veggies above!), and I can give those things away to those who need them....why not!!

Again, I barely spent anything but tax especially after throwing in a Walgreens RR in the last trip!

(any one else find a Publix that had mustard at $.99 and BOGO?? Each mustard made me $.50 instead of the reported $.30 overage!)

Kroger Triple coupons!

2009-05-28T10:53:00.012-05:00

*If this is your first time visiting my blog, go here first to learn how it works!*

Kroger stores are trippling coupons again in Nashville, TN in competition with Harris Teeter triples going on right now!

This is a super quick list of a few freebies- I will try to have a more detailed list up tonight as I gather more info and make it back to the store!

Only ones near HT's are participating, so call to make sure ahead of time. I know for sure that the one in Brentwood on Franklin Rd and the one at Nipper's Corner are participating!

Right now, they said it is only through Sat. the 30th, but here's hoping they continue it longer, like last time since HT triples continue until Tues!

There are a few things that are the same as HT but not much- I checked most of the things up against my HT list I had with me at Kroger.

Rules of Kroger triples:

Coupons $.99 and under will triple up to the price of the item (no overage!)
20 coupons tripled "per transaction"
Internet coupons (printables) are accepted!

Nashville stores participating:

Wednesday Wares

2009-05-27T07:06:00.000-05:00

*If this is your first time visiting my blog, go here first to learn how it works!*

Check in here every Wednesday for new sale lists!

Harris Teeter, Publix, Food Lion and Bi-Lo run their sales every week from Wed-Tues. Many other stores run their sales Sun-Sat, so check out the Sunday Shopping Lists for this weeks Sun-Sat stores!

I don't have a Bi-Lo near me, but I know some of my readers do! Check out Southern Savers for Bi-Lo sales!

If you are a Food Lion shopper check out the sales starting today here listed by Southern Savers. I often stop by to pick up coupons, and only occasionally shop there. I usually snag some good deals on discounted meat!

Triples this week! Go here to see the HT list I put up yesterday!

Basics of Publix :

Publix does not have a store reward card, however they do have a key card to link your Upromise purchases. Visit the website for more info or find a key card at the sales flyer kiosk at the front of stores.
Most Publix stores double coupons up to and including $.50
They offer many store coupons which can be found in the sales flyer kiosk at the front of the store. These can be stacked with manufacturer coupons. These include green Advantage Buy flyers (non-food items) and yellow Advantage Buy flyers (food items) which are monthly sales/coupons.
They often run great Buy One, Get One free sales. Normally, you do NOT have to buy the required amount to get the discounted price. Ex if an item costs $2 and is BOGO, you can buy 1 at $1.
In FL only, Publix stores do NOT double and you must buy 2 items for BOGO price.

Here are some of the highlights for 5/27-6/2! Visit Southern Savers for full details on all the sale items

Wednesday Wares: Harris Teeter Triples

2009-05-26T10:00:00.005-05:00

*If this is your first time visiting my blog, go here first to learn how it works!*

Harris Teeter Triples start tomorrow and go from 5/27- 6/2

*Just updated my list this evening, since Express Lane is up and working to check prices....a couple things were added, and a few taken off with price changes making them not so great deals! Have fun! *

Basics of HT-

Sign up for a reward card at customer service to get the discounted prices
Register your card for e-VIC to get special email discounts!
Harris Teeter doubles coupons up to .99 everyday.
Occasionally the store runs TRIPLE coupons where lots of fantastic freebies can be found. Check back here to find out when that is happening!
They double (or triple) 20 coupons per day, per household, which includes only 3 each of the same coupon.
You can see their entire coupon policy here .
They often run great Buy One, Get One free (or buy 2, get 3 free!) sales. Normally, you do NOT have to buy the required amount to get the discounted price. Ex if an item costs $2 and is BOGO, you can buy 1 and $1.
You can visit their Express Lane to get prices for your local store.

A few extra tips

It varies by cashier as to whether or not you can use more than one coupon on a BOGO deal. If they won't let you, just ask them to take off all but one and come back later to get more!
Don't try to use more than 20 coupons per trip because after 20 they won't triple!
Many cashiers scrutinize every coupon during triples closely, so you may not be able to use any that say "do not double," even though the register will automatically do it if they start with a 5.
Free and super cheap items often run out quickly, so go early or ask what days your store gets in shipments so you can go back those days.

Target

I snagged all of this without paying a penny! I had a $5 gift card, and after two runs through Target, I still have over $1 left on it! I pretty much just paid taxes each time through! Go see how I got these deals here

HARRIS TEETER

While there were a few good things at HT (like the free gum, cheap ice cream topping and $.14 Ragu), I really went for another reason, and will be getting reimbursed, so I snagged several needs for all the grilling out we're doing this weekend in the mountains! The hot dog buns, and chips were a decent price w/o coupons and the burgers were highly discounted!

PUBLIX

I am most proud of Publix this week....missing from the pic is a 17 lb bag of charcoal and another purchase of ice cream, Cover girl, J&J gauze, dog treats, and butter. Along with that, I did 4 trips total, two of which I was able to use a $5/$25 from Walgreens (good only Wed and Thurs), and I used that to snag some needs, like the drinks, trash bags and laundry detergent, and also to cover what little was left in after coupon prices!

I got some amazing deals like $.49 ice cream, $.29 cheese singles, $.50 Brita filters, overage on the doggy treats and Johnson & Johnson items, great deal on free pork and bbq sauce for buying the $4 bag of charcoal!

See my Publix list here to snag some of these same great deals!

I spent right about $16 for all my Publix trips combined, for way over $100 worth of stuff! Everytime this week, my tax was MORE than my actual pre-tax total! Makes me hate TN state tax, BUT also shows you how well you can do with coupons!

I skipped out on CVS and Walgreens again--hoping they get some better deals soon! I did get a raincheck from CVS for the Dry Idea deoderant I couldn't find, so I'll get that when it's in stock again!

Thrifty Thursday

2009-05-21T08:20:00.003-05:00

*If this is your first time visiting my blog, go here first to learn how it works!*

Welcome to Thrifty Thursday!! Today, I have an excerpt from Woman's World magazine on different thrifty ways to use cotton swabs (or q-tips!).

I definitely need to find uses for them other than cleaning out my ears, since that's a big NO-NO! I know lots of you do it, but if you saw what the doc once pulled out of my ear from the build-up it left.....well, you'd never do it again either! (And you might nearly pass out, like me!)

Smart Ways to use:

Cotton Swabs!

from Woman's Day
Jan '09

Junior Picasso "paintbrushes!" Bring out your tot's inner artist by putting out washable paints and a few cotton swabs. The perfect size for little hands, swabs give kids more control- and you less to clean up!
Degunk your keyboard! Dampen the end of a swab with rubbing alcohol and run it between the keys of your computer keyboard to de-grime and disinfect. Works on TV remote controls, too! (sounds like something I need to do!)
Dust off picture frames! Moisten the swab's tip and swipe inside dust-collectin nooks and crannies for gleaming frames in a flash!
Test fabrics for colorfastness! Dip a swab in detergent and hold it on an inconspicuous inside seam of clothing for two minutes to see if the color bleeds. (does anyone ever actually test colorfastness??)
Get silver jewelry sparkling! Dip a swab in silver polish and use to lift tarnish from the tiny crevices in your silver rings, earrings, and pendants. The soft cotton will make the metal glisten without leaving a scratch!
Stop nail polish bottles from gluing shut! Trace around the rim of the bottle with a cotton swab dipped in mineral oil. Next time, the brush will unscrew with ease! (oh, man isn't a pain to open them sometimes?!)

I hope you've now found some thrifty uses for them other than sticking them in your ears! (Please don't! Trust me!)

*If this is your first time visiting my blog, go here first to learn how it works!*

I didn't do too much shopping this week, but I did head to Publix and Food Lion to hop in on a few good deals! I have a few more things to get at both stores-mostly the same, before the sales restart on Wed. in both stores!

After a crazy couple of weeks with triples at Harris Teeter and Kroger, it was nice to slow things down a bit! Plus, it was a slow week at drugstores too! Other than getting some prescriptions at CVS (and using Rite Aid gift card coupons for 2 free $25 gift cards!!), that was about it!

Food Lion

Did you get any of the great Kraft BBQ coupons from coupons.com or Kraftfoods.com?? I bought 6 bottles at $.99 each, used 6 $1/1 coupons, and got them all for free! BUT the best part is, they are also producing catalinas (coupons printed at the register!) for $3 off your next order! Yippee! That makes these a $3 money maker! I also got the paper plates for free (The Chinet plates are 2/$4 and there are $2 coupons making them free), and the Jennie O Turkey sausage was marked down to $.50! I love getting meat that cheap, and Food Lion often has great markdown prices!

I also made another trip for 4 more packages of paper plates a few days later, and used the $3 on milk and ice cream sandwiches (the hubby just had to have them!), none of which made it in a picture!

Publix

I got 6 Glad Wraps for free (2/$2 all month and there are booklets out at Publix with $1/1 coupons!), and a Bic Lighter for $.74, free covergirl eyeshadows, cheap olive oil, banana to cover coupons, and 2 packages of Yoplait which never made it into the picture that I got $.25 overage on each! See my Publix deals here.

Pretty good for a week when I didn't even work that hard!

(check out Money Saving Mom, Centsible Savings, Fiddledeedee and Southern Savers for more great shopping trips this week!)

For anyone in Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia with a Bloom grocery store nearby, they offer triple coupons every now and then and are doing it this weekend 5/15-5/17!

Tuesday's Tips

2009-05-12T07:00:00.000-05:00

*If this is your first time visiting my blog, go here first to learn how it works!*

I've done a few posts on ways to find coupons here.

Today, I'm telling you how you can find ALL YOU magazine coupons, even for free! I've briefly mentioned it before, and you may have seen it in some of my coupon match-ups, so here's the scoop on how to get it!

I love, love, love the high value coupons that you can find in ALL YOU magazine! If you haven't heard of this magazine, it is one that can only be found at Wal-Mart stores or by subscription!

I almost never get to Wal-Mart these days, even though it is actually the closest store to my house! It's just so big, and I can never find a parking spot! So unless there is a great deal, or I remember to go get an ALL YOU magazine, I almost never go in anymore!

The coupons found in ALL YOU magazine are not Wal-Mart specific coupons....they are almost always just manufacturer coupons that can be used anywhere! I have gotten many a free product by using them. Because most people won't have more than one copy of the mag, they are higher values than found other places.

I was THRILLED to find even fewer reasons to head to Wal-Mart and an easier way to get those great coupons!

Right now Alyssa at Keeping the Kindgom First is currently offering a GREAT deal on a subscription to ALL YOU through Amazon.com...The $10 for a one year subscription is THE cheapest I have seen yet! I almost signed up for it right away, until I realized how I could get it for FREE!

If you use Swagbucks you can earn Amazon gift cards to get it for free! I already had one $5 gift card in my account and had been waiting to earn another to buy a book I've been wanting...alas the book will have to wait until I earn some more Swagbucks because I want to jump on this magazine FAST for all the good coupons!

You can read more about Swagbucks here in a post I originally did on how it works: but basically it's a search engine, like Google, Yahoo, MSN, etc....BUT you earn points by searching! Not every time, and I haven't figured out how often...but if you use it every day even in place of entering webpages you already know by heart in your toolbar at the top of your browser, you will quickly start to earn points! I have only been doing it a few months and have LOVED it so far!

If you EVER use search engines, you HAVE to use Swagbucks because they PAY you to search!

So, how am I getting ALL YOU for free? I just today earned my final few Swagbucks needed to have my 2 $5 gift cards from Amazon.com. I'm taking those and ordering the magazine!

You should notice that the price of the magazine is $15 but there is a message at the top that says "$5.00 Off: Subscribe today, and you'll see an instant $5.00 discount when you check out."

Have fun earning Swagbucks AND saving money with ALL YOU!

Movie Monday: The last weekly free movie!

2009-05-11T10:47:00.002-05:00

*If this is your first time visiting my blog, go here first to learn how it works!*

Redbox has been putting out weekly free movie codes for quite awhile now! This is the LAST WEEK for a weekly code....starting in June, they will be doing monthly codes instead of weekly! Oh well at least their regular price is still only $1 a day!

To find out if you have a Redbox location near you, visit here. Many Walgreen's, McDonald's and Walmart stores have Redbox movie "vending machines." You can also use the Redbox site to view movies at each location to make sure they have what you want before you go! Just don't reserve them online or you can't use the code!

Free Code: 6A43JK

This code is good today, May 11th, until midnight (Central time!) tonight. You must use a credit or debit card to rent and can use the code once per card. Return your movie before 9pm the following evening to avoid any charges.

Saturday Savings

2009-05-09T09:27:00.000-05:00

*If this is your first time visiting my blog, go here first to learn how it works!*

I made so many different trips shopping this week that I was pretty bad about taking pics...so I'm just going to talk about my favorite ones!!

This is from last Saturday, but from after I wrote my Saturday Savings post!

TARGET

Target has been running some awesome gift card deals lately! This one was buy 5 Kellogg's Special K crackers or cereals, get a $5 gift card! Since there were a bunch of amazing Kellogg's coupons that came out that week, I snagged a LOT with coupons from my mom and my 2 computers! (There are actually 4 boxes missing from this pic that I gave away!)

My husband DEVOURS cereal and has been trading sandwiches for tuna and crackers lately, so this was an awesome deal for me!! I started with a $5 gift card from another deal, spent about $2.75 each time I did the deal, and ended up with a $5 gift card in the end! So I spent about $.30 a box on these! That's definitely my target for cereal, since it's often something that's hard to get for free!

CVS

I ran into a good friend at CVS while there to buy papers on Sunday (they're $1!!) and waited to get them until I could snag some deals she told me about, since I hadn't even looked at CVS lists yet!

Since I don't have a pic, I'll just list my transaction-- because I'm so darn proud of it!! :o)

Bought- one Adidas deoderant
6 Vitamin Water 10
3 12 packs of coke
Used $1/1 Adidas
Used 3 $1/1 VW10
Used $15 in ECB's from last week's Scotch and Visine deals
Paid $1.70 oop and earned $10 and $3 in ECB's

Bought 2 Adidas deoderants (limit was 3)
2 colgate toothpastes
3 newspapers
Used 2 $1/1 colgate
Used 2 $1/1 Adidas
Use $13 ECB's from first transaction
Paid $.05 oop!! Earned $6 and $4 ECBs!

Even though I walked out with 5 less ECB's than I'd started with, I still think I made out amazingly, got some stuff I needed AND free newspapers!

I then took many of those coupons I got in the free newspapers to Harris Teeter and Kroger, which were both still tripling this week! (HT until Tues and Kroger's last day is today!)

Go see my last week's Savings post to see all the amazing things I got! I basically just picked up more of the same this week!

HARRIS TEETER

Sadly, this was the only HT pic I took!

I purchased all of this on Tues, part for our Cinco de Mayo dinner and part just because it was the last day of the Triples sale, although not even all of this was triples deals!

I spent $1.79 on all of this! The torilla chips had $2 off beef wyb 2 chips (which I also had coupons for and that made the discounted steak free too!), the rice and sour cream were free with triples, the chips were $1 each after coupon, then a $5 Walgreens Register Reward paid for the discounted ribs, jalepenos, tortillas and part of the chips! Love when I get things without coupons for such a great deal!

I'm a bit shopped out and my coupons need an overhaul after all the new sets I got to tackle triples this week! But my pantry sure is full!

Buying filters for our air conditioning unit is not one of my favorite things to do, or to spend money on!

I almost never remember since I'm used to being in apartment complexes where they do it for you! Now that we're in a house (renting, but we take care of the little things), we are in charge of filters. That's the hubby's job! I've tried a couple ways to figure out how to do it frugally....I've used gift cards on occasion when the hubby reminds me we need one....I'm pretty sure we need one right now! Ok...we've probably needed one for several weeks!!

So I LOVED this tip I just found over at Frugal in Franklin on buying a reusable air filter!!

I'm pretty sure I can remember to wash it once a month once I realize I won't have to pay for it again! So I'll be looking for some of these!!

Now, to just remember to take them with us when we move out!!

With triple coupons ending yesterday, I'm not sure there's much exciting to see at HT after that (unless you go to a nearby Kroger which are still tripling through Sat!!

However, there are a few things that might get me back in!!

Matchups are in progress, but it looks like maybe free mac and cheese and possible continued good deal on Kraft BBQ sauce!

Happy Cinco de Mayo!

Today, the Spanish teacher in me emerges greatly!

For the past several years on Cinco de Mayo, I have taught my students WHAT Cinco de Mayo actually is!! Most Americans don't know, yet love to celebrate it! It never fails, every year when I'd ask my students, "Ok who remembers from last year what Cinco de Mayo is about?" Almost no one knew!

This year, I'm not teaching, so I thought I'd teach you, plus throw in a few ideas on how to celebrate on the cheap, of course!!

Many people think Cinco de Mayo is like our 4th of July, and it is their Independence Day....actually El 16 de Septiembre is their Independence day (or Sept. 16th!)! Pretty far away from the 5th of May, right! (Surely you know that Cinco de Mayo means May 5th!)

It actually commemorates the day that the Mexicans defeated the French, who came in the aftermath of the Mexican-American war because the Mexicans owed them money and weren't paying it back because of financial crisis! This actually takes place in 1862, over 50 years since Mexico became independent in 1810.

The Mexicans defeated the French in the Battle of Puebla (or "Battala de Puebla"), and although they ended up ultimately losing, it was still an important victory and represented how strong the Mexican people were.

My own little Cinco de Mayo story is that once during college a friend and I road tripped to see her brother in El Paso, TX, and randomly on May 5th decided to take a day trip to Mexico! We ended up in the middle of a parade and wondered why....it took us only a few seconds to remember the date and why there was so much commotion going on!! It actually made for a pleasant shopping experience in the market since no one else was there!

Now, Cinco de Mayo is much commercialized, and like many other holidays, the true reason for celebrating is forgotten. Now that you know, hopefully you'll remember and tell someone as you are eating your tacos and burritos tonight for dinner!

Here's a few ways to do Cinco de Mayo on the cheap.....

Eat a 5 pound burrito in under a half hour at Taco del Mar and it's free! Check with your local restaurant for details! (Not exactly sure if I should recommend that!!)
Get a gift certificate to a local Mexican restaurant through restaurant.com Take 60% Off and receive $15 FTD rewards with every order of $25 Gift Certificates with code GIFT. Pay $4 thru 5/11/09..
In Nashville, Latin Music Festival this Saturday May 9th- Admission is free! Lots of music, food and fun!
To find a Cinco de Mayo celebration in your area do a google search "Cinco de Mayo Festival + your city"
Fun crafts to do with the kids and more here (I've done some of these with my students!)
Recipes
Got coupons from your newspapers for Ortega products and/or Daisy sour cream? Head to your nearest Harris Teeter (where today is the last day!) or Kroger (lasts all week!) and use them to get them for free or close to it!

I'll be keeping it simple this year and just cooking for my husband and I (since he's half Mexican, it's something we eat a LOT of anyways). I've got my Mahamata rice, Ortega beans, Ortega seasonings, tortilla chips, and Daisy sour cream all free from Harris Teeter. Cheap onions and peppers from Aldi, and marked down meat from Kroger and Food Lion that we'll be eating up tonight!! Only thing left to buy today is the cheese dip and that might be a splurge! Even though I've never eaten cheese dip when in Mexico....it sure goes good with all the above, doesn't it?? :o)

Target- Stretching a Buck
Walmart - Money Saving Mom (note- prices vary greatly from store to store, so check your local prices carefully! Can Walmart price match itself?!)
Meijer- Mommy Snacks
Rite Aid - Southern Savers
Walgreens- Common Sense with Money

If you're in Nashville, visit my post here about Kroger Triple coupons!! If you are elsewhere near a Harris Teeter (only Kroger's near there are tripling here in competition!), you might just want to take a shot at calling your Kroger and seeing if they are tripling too! No one here really knew about it until seeing signs in stores!

Sunday Shopping List: CVS

2009-05-03T17:33:00.000-05:00

*If this is your first time visiting my blog, go here first to learn how it works!*

See my CVS hints here if you are new to CVS and the Extra Care Bucks system!

Remember to use your CVS extra care card
Use coupons to get free/cheap items that earn you Extra Care Bucks that can be used like cash to buy more things with ECB's or anything else in the store you might need!

SS= Smart Source Sunday Coupon insert (dates found shown next to abbreviations)
RP= Red Plum Sunday Coupon insert
P&G= Proctor & Gamble Sunday Coupon insert

These are the best deals I see this week to take advantage of! For more deals go to Southern Savers

Get 3 ECB's, wyb Adidas Deodorant at $3.99 (Limit 3)
$1/1 coupon from 4/5 RP
Final Price= FREE

Get $2 ECB's wyb Colgate MaxWhite or MaxFresh Toothpaste at $3.99 (Limit 2)
*look for ones with free toothbrushes attached, they work too!*
$.75/1 4/26 SS or

Final Price= FREE or $.25

Get $10 ECB's wyb $20 of Coke Products
-12pks on sale for 3/$12
-Vitamin Water 10 on sale for 2/$3

Here's a few ideas for this deal...

Buy 16 Vitaminwaters at $1.33 each (limit of 6 per transaction, so break it up, your card will keep track of how many you buy total!)
Use 16 $1/1 coupons from the 4/5 SmartSource insert
or use 8 $1/1 and 8 B1G1 coupons from 'Save Money, Save the Planet' booklets from Publix
Spend $2.64-$5.28 (depending on coupons)
Get back $10 ECB, so you make $ on this transaction!
Spend $5.28 plus tax out of pocket, get $10 ECBs back
Or buy 6 Vitamin Waters and 3-12packs of coke products
Use either 6 $1/1 coupons or 3 $1/1 and 3 B1G1
Spend $12.99- $13.98
Get back $10 ecb
Like spending $2.98-$3.98 for all those drinks!!

Once you start shopping CVS and saving your ECB's from one week to spend on deals the next your out of pocket will be less and less!!

My plan for the week (which I've already done!):

Buy one Adidas
6 Vitamin Water 10
3 12 packs of coke
Use $1/1 Adidas
Use 3 $1/1 VW10
Use $15 in ECB's from last week's Scotch and Visine deals
Paid $1.70 oop and earned $10 and $3 in ECB's

Buy 2 Adidas
2 colgate
3 newspapers (they're $1 on Sunday now!)
Use 2 $1/1 colgate
Use 2 $1/1 Adidas
Use $13 ECB's from first transaction
Paid $.05 oop!! Earned $6 and $4 ECBs!

Whoohooo!

If you have your transactions figured out like this, always pay with your ECB's FIRST because then your manufacturer's coupons can take care of some of the tax...if you have $6.99 before taxes total and use 3 $1/1 coupons first then try to use a $3 ecb, it won't work because your total is only $2.99 before tax....but if you used your ECB's first and the coupons last, they would essentially take of a penny of tax (sometimes, it can be more, that's just a random example!)

Sunday Shopping List: Kroger

2009-05-02T09:42:00.005-05:00

*If this is your first time visiting my blog, go here first to learn how it works!*

Get to one of the Kroger's below asap by May 9th to get in on TRIPLES going on in competition with Harris Teeter's triples!! Go here to see a picture of my amazing trips!

Saturday Savings

2009-05-02T08:47:00.005-05:00

oops, this posted in the middle of me writing...sorry if you saw it unfinished!

*If this is your first time visiting my blog, go here first to learn how it works!*

Today I have a TRUE example of how much shopping with coupons REALLY CAN SAVE YOU!!!

It's slightly extreeme becauase I ran across something WOONNDERFUL this week, but it shows the possibilities coupons bring!

Let's say you go to the grocery store with under $5 to spend....Not a lot of money, right? You probably won't get very much!

Without coupons, you can get this.......

A Kroger this week, Flipz Pretzels are 2/$3,, you could get the two pictured above, just by shopping a sale. If tax isn't too high, maybe you can squeeze in one more and come under the $5 you have to spend. Doesn't sound too bad, does it??

But with coupons it gets better.......

You could take that same $5 to Kroger and get all this.........For less than $3!!! What?? Yes, less than $3, and that is WITH 5 bags of Flipz priced at 2/$3! How did it happen?? Coupons!! (oh and not pictured are 3 tubes of toothpaste I got right away when I discovered the triples, which I got for $.21, which was all tax! Still kept me at under $3!)

I'm actually still in slight shock that I did so well! I've done amazing things before with coupons, but this has to be the best!!

A couple days ago, I walked into Kroger only to buy one thing....and saw a sign for TRIPLE COUPONS!! What??? My Harris Teeter store triples often as you know if you regularly shop there or read about it here. But Kroger?? I've heard some Kroger's around the country triple small coupons and double larger ones than mine does. Mine only doubles up to $.50 and that's it! No triples, nothing bigger. So I thought maybe I was in the wrong store and went straight to customer service to ask!!

Turns out, several Kroger's in the area decided to triple up to $.99 in competition with Harris Teeter! Kroger's regular prices are cheaper than HT's regular prices, so that, with a few sales at Kroger, made for INCREDIBLE savings!!!! Most of that less than $3 was tax because I paid for very few items and even earned a $1 off your next order coupon by buying the small cans of pineapple!! I purchased the above 60 items in 3 transactions at different times. The limits are- only the first 20 per transaction triple (I don't know if that means you can divide transactions up or not, I didn't try!) and only manufacturer's coupons triple up to $.99 with no overage. Pretty simple terms. I have a feeling if they start doing this regularly there will be more terms!

Yippppeeeeee!!!

If you live in Nashville, and are near a Kroger that's by a Harris Teeter, call and find out if they are tripling! I know for sure the ones at Edmonson/Nolensville and the one on Franklin Road right by HT are doing it! Supposedly 5 more are but they didn't know which ones! The promotion goes through MAY 9th!!! So there's a whole other week if you missed out! I may have that list posted in my Sunday savings if possible!

I also did pretty well at HT this week, at the beginning of their triples, spending about $5 on about 40 things, including ice cream, rice, toothpaste, deoderant, gum, waffles, and more, but I forgot to take pictures of that!

Walgreens and Target have also had some sweet deals that I've taken advantage of and plan to do more of today! I will try to post those later!!

Happy Shopping!

(check out Money Saving Mom and Southern Savers for more great shopping trips this week!)

Cereal on the Cheap

I can't believe how much I used to pay for cereal! And my husband goes through it like there is no tomorrow!! Now, I never pay more than $1 a box, and much less than that if I can help it!

Here's how you can snag a GREAT deal now, but get these coupons fast- they'll probably be gone soon!!

Kellogg's is currently offering $1 off coupons for many of their different cereals.

You can snag two copies each of several different ones here and here (this second one was kinda hornery for me and I had to keep clicking print!!)

There have been lots of cereal deals lately, like one last month where I got boxes of Shredded Mini Wheats for $.33 a piece AND free milk!! Worth it even if you don't like the cereal that much!

Right now you can take the Special K coupons (along with some for crackers here since you can't get 5 cereal ones unless you use more than one computer!) to Target for this deal

Buy any combination of 5 Special K cereals or crackers at $2.39 each
Use 5 $1/1 coupons aboveor from the 4/5 RedPlum insert
Spend $6.95 plus tax out of pocket
Get a $5 Target gift card
$0.39 per box after coupons and gift card

Sounds good to me!! Plus I already have a $5 gift card from another deal like this from Glade, so I'll only spend $1.96 oop and get back a $5 card! Even sweeter!

Also if you have enough coupons, you can do it again, and use the first gift card to buy more and pay less oop the next time(similar to what I'll be doing with my previous gift card!)!

Even if you don't plan to do this Target deal, if you eat Kellogg's cereal, go get these coupons now!!

Thanks, Money Saving Mom, for the heads up on this sweet, thrify deal!

*If this is your first time visiting my blog, go here first to learn how it works!*

I was so excited to get up super early and head to Harris Teeter Triples!, that I forgot to do a repost to remind everyone! It's not too late, it runs through next Tues!!

Go here to see my updated Harris Teeter Triples list! There are lots of freebies and cheapies!

Here are the lists for other stores with sales starting on Wednesdays! Don't forget to check out my Sunday Shopping Lists for deals still going on through Saturday at other stores!

Hmmmm....nothing seems so exciting when there are so many deals to be had at HT right now, but since we don't all have one...

SS= Smart Source Sunday coupon inserts (date in paper next to each symbol!)
RP= Red Plum Sunday coupon inserts
P&G= Procter & Gamble Sunday coupon inserts

I don't have a Bi-Lo near me, but I know some of my readers do! Check out Southern Savers for Bi-Lo sales!

Basics of Publix :

Publix does not have a store reward card, however they do have a key card to link your Upromise purchases. Visit the website for more info or find a key card at the sales flyer kiosk at the front of stores.
Most Publix stores double coupons up to and including $.50
They offer many store coupons which can be found in the sales flyer kiosk at the front of the store. These can be stacked with manufacturer coupons. These include green Advantage Buy flyers (non-food items) and yellow Advantage Buy flyers (food items) which are monthly sales/coupons.
They often run great Buy One, Get One free sales. Normally, you do NOT have to buy the required amount to get the discounted price. Ex if an item costs $2 and is BOGO, you can buy 1 at $1.
In FL only, Publix stores do NOT double and you must buy 2 items for BOGO price.

Visit Southern Savers for full details on all the sale items from 4/29-5/5! !

Walgreens Update

2009-04-28T09:32:00.004-05:00

*If this is your first time visiting my blog, go here first to learn how it works!*

There are a lot of good deals to be found at Walgreens this week....here's some of what I plan on getting!

I have a few RR from last week to help get me started!

The following, thanks to Common Sense with Money here and here

Ecotrin 45ct Tablets $2, Earn a $2 RR when you buy one
Use $2.25 printable coupon (coupon will need to be adjusted down)
FREE plus $2 in overage from the RR!

Nivea Body Wash $4.99, Earn a $4.99 Register Reward when you buy one
Use $1/1 coupon from 4/19 RP insert
FREE plus $1 in overage after RR and coupon

Rembrandt Toothpaste or Mouthwash $5.99, Earn a $5.99 RR when you buy one
FREE after RR

Bayer Quick release Crystals $2.49, Earn a $2.49 RR when you buy one
FREE after RR

Schick Quattro for Women Razors $8.99. Earn $3 in RR when you buy one
Use $4/1 coupon from 3/22 SS insert
Pay $1.99 each after coupon and RR

"Check your local store for clearance Schick Intuition Plus Cucumber melon, reportedly they are on clearance for $2.59 each and they are also printing the $3 Register Reward for the deal available this week. There’s a $4/1 coupon from 4/26 SS inserts, so you can get it all for free plus $3 in overage!"

This deal thanks to My Penny Pile...hoping I can find these to share with some kiddos I babysit!

Kid's Boost Drinks are marked down in stores from $14.00 to $3.39 and there are $5/1 coupons here. Since Walgreens can give you issues with a coupon valued more than the price of the product, she suggests using 2 coupons on 3 items- which makes your total $.17 for all 3 packs AND there are reportedly more $5/1 coupons in the packages you buy!

And from Centsible Savings...

Cutter Advanced Insect Repellent (1 oz.)
On sale for $2.00
Use $2.00 printable coupon
Final price: Free!

And Thanks to Southern Savers....

Reynolds Foil $0.89 (20 ft) w/in-ad coupon-$1 off Reynolds Wrap flyer found at Publix (makes it FREE plus overage)(give manufacturer coupon before store coupon and it will work)

And finally thanks to Money Saving Mom....

Campbells soups $0.59 after in-ad coupon
Use $1/2 printable coupon
Pay $0.09 each after coupons

So.....I've got my list, going to print/gather all my coupons and see how long I can keep the RR's rolling this week!!

Harris Teeter Triples 4/29-5/5

2009-04-27T08:30:00.006-05:00

*If this is your first time visiting my blog, go here first to learn how it works!*

Harris Teeter Triples start 4/29-5/5

Make sure to get in by the 30th to use up coupons that expire on 4/30!

The Basics are the same during triples as any other time- no more than 20 coupons per day tripled, no more than 3 of the same coupon!

Basics of HT-

Sign up for a reward card at customer service to get the discounted prices
Register your card for e-VIC to get special email discounts!
Harris Teeter doubles coupons up to .99 everyday.
Occasionally the store runs TRIPLE coupons where lots of fantastic freebies can be found. Check back here to find out when that is happening!
They double (or triple) 20 coupons per day, per household, which includes only 3 each of the same coupon.
You can see their entire coupon policy here .
They often run great Buy One, Get One free (or buy 2, get 3 free!) sales. Normally, you do NOT have to buy the required amount to get the discounted price. Ex if an item costs $2 and is BOGO, you can buy 1 and $1.
You can visit their Express Lane to get prices for your local store.

I have separated the lists by where you can find each coupon. Items free or cheap with insert (newspaper) coupons or internet printed coupons are separate from blinkies, tearpads, etc which may be coupons lots of people don't have!

Usually, they will not let you use any coupons that say "Do Not Double." I used to be able to use some but the last few times, they've pulled out all of those and only let me use them at face value, so it's up to you whether you want to try them or not!

I will be adding more deals as I find them!!!

Here are the best deals I see at Walgreen's this week.

See my Walgreen's hints here if you are new here!

Remember that Walgreen's requires you to have an equal or greater amount of items vs. coupons, so throw in some cheap candy or other small item if you have more coupons than items. This often happens since you can combine store and manufacturer coupons.

Sunday Shopping List: Kroger

2009-04-19T14:32:00.000-05:00

Sign up for a reward card at customer service, if you don't already have one.
Kroger coupon policies vary by region. Mine doubles unlimited numbers of all coupons $.50 and under. I've heard some triple under $.50 and double everything to $.99. Ask if you aren't sure of your store's policy.
You only have to buy 1 of an item to get the sale price in a 10/$10 sale, or BOGO free, unless there is a sale such as buy 10 items get $5 off your order sale.
Kroger works with several companies to offer e-coupons that automatically come off your order when you purchase the specific items. Visit Shortcuts, P&G, and Cellfire to add coupons to your Kroger card.
E-coupons can be combined with paper coupons for double savings!

Kroger has a great 10/$10 promotion going on right now! Remember this is really a $1 per item promotion! You do not have to buy 10 of anything!

Kmart Super Doubles! 4/19-4/25

2009-04-18T09:01:00.004-05:00

*If this is your first time visiting my blog, go here first to learn how it works!*

Kmart's around the country have been doubling coupons every now and then every month or so for many months now! I got so much great stuff when they had them here, but it's been before Christmas since they held it in the Nashville area! I'm not sure how they decide where they are doing it, but it seems pretty random to me!

Some stores are doubling 4/19-4/25, so to find out if your store is participating visit their site and look up the ad for your zipcode (and maybe try clicking on the ads for several stores around you to see if any of them are doubling.). You'll see a big red box on the front page of the ad that says they are doubling if your store is participating!

Visit Common Sense with Money's post for the rules and great coupon matchups! There are lots of free and cheap things!

Make sure you stick to the rules and look for a cashier that looks like they know what they are doing! And check your receipt afterwards. A few of my trips have been kind of frustrating but worth it when I've spent under a $1 for bags full of stuff!!

I'm not a fan of Kmart typically, but heck, that will get me in the store!!

Happy Shopping!
