Still not giving up!!

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

*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)

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



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

*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-

  1. Sign up for a reward card at customer service to get the discounted prices
  2. Register your card for e-VIC to get special email discounts!
  3. Harris Teeter doubles coupons up to .99 everyday.
  4. 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!
  5. They double (or triple) 20 coupons per day, per household, which includes only 3 each of the same coupon.
  6. You can see their entire coupon policy here .
  7. 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.
  8. 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

*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

*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!

Saturday Savings

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


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!

Wedesday Wares

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

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

HARRIS TEETER

FOOD LION

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!

Sunday Shopping List: CVS and Walgreens

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

With very few items I see worth highlighting this week, I'm combining CVS and Walgreens!

CVS

WALGREENS

Here are the best deals I see at Walgreens this week.

See my Walgreens hints here if you are new here!

Remember that Walgreens 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.

Saturday Savings!

*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!
Visit Southern Savers, Centsible Savings, Faithful Provisions and Money Saving Mom to see some other fabulous savings this week!

Harris Teeter Super Doubles!

*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-

  1. Sign up for a reward card at customer service to get the discounted prices
  2. Register your card for e-VIC to get special email discounts!
  3. Harris Teeter doubles coupons up to .99 everyday.
  4. Occasionally the store runs TRIPLE coupons where lots of fantastic freebies can be found. Check back here to find out when that is happening!
  5. They double (or triple) 20 coupons per day, per household, which includes only 3 each of the same coupon.
  6. You can see their entire coupon policy here .
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
