Red Letter Mail Day

Yesterday my FREE coupons arrived. I had a Tide Stain Release packet that did NOT dissolve in the wash, but rather left a mess in the load! I also had CLOTG packets that weren't sealed. Wrote decent complaints and got the q's right away, which I was hoping for because of the Catalina!

Tide: $6.99/$7.99 - FREE q
Crystal Light: $3.49/$5.48 - FREE q
Crystal Light: $1.99/$3.89 - $1 q x2, earn $1 YB
That got me to $20 with only $2 OOP!
Also needed a cake mix ($1) and powdered sugar ($1.69)
Spent $4.60 cash, earned $5 cat. love it!

Then I got home to my diapers.com order (now to mail in the rebate!) and these freebies:
-Beneful sample with $1 q (Wal-Mart)
-Kashi bar sample with $1 q
-Scott Rag sample from Sam's
-BUILT Bib I got with my Huggies points. This is a NICE bib!

Walked out the door with shampoo, conditioner and candy for $0. Scanned my green bag tag and candy counts towards spend $10 get $3 ECB deal :) Hopefully this rolls til next week again.

No more Beef!

hmmm, I swear it's the same beef. "Beef Round Top Round Roast" or whatever it says. I picked up the SAME size I bought yesterday, and it didn't work. No discount, so I left it at self-check. Then went back for the rest of my goodies!





Some months ago my mom gave me a coupon for 4 free BeechNut Stage 2 jars. I had noticed it was on Upromise for $1 back WYB 8. Not a necessary item for me, so I waited. Then I got the same coupon in the mail, but Upromise had for Stage 1 food. Well, this month the buy 8 Stage 2 and earn $1 is back (if I remember correctly - their site hasn't been working for me). They are on sale For $.39 right now, so I wrote $1.56 on the q, but the teenager had to do the math the loooong addition way before she believed that *eye roll*

I found the Wheatables everyone is talking about in blog land - not on a shipper, but on an end and they had taped a q to each one :) $1.88, minus $1.50 q, x2!

Another FREE Slim Fast candy bar
TOTAL: $.91 for all that :)

Yay Dominick's!

Sometimes, you can do alright, even when the employees aren't the best and self check freezes like it tends to do. yeargh.




Fruit Snacks with e-coupons and catalina, etc etc. Soda as filler. etc!





Dominick's
Annie's mac (coupon beeped...why, when 1st one didn't?)

Total: $3.83

Quick trip to Jewel!
South Beach Bars, two transactions at two stores.
3 bars @ $8.97, $1.25 Avenu x2, $1 IP x3 = $3.63, earn $3 cat

Dominick's
6 cereal for $.93! Used $3.50 and $3 cat.

Altogether now: 32 items for $9.45, which is $.30 each That's more like it! Haven't had this in a while, and now we are stocked on cereal.

Catching Up

I took a break from shopping - it was tiring and we don't need anything. But I did do a bit over the last week!

Some goodies at Meijer with their "buy 10 get the 11th free" except I wish they weren't out of pasta. We have almost used it all from the last Jewel deal. But I also bought Breakstone cottage cheese there and took my $5 cat to Dom's where I paid $.69 for this:



8 - $.50 e-coupons came off for soup/broth, plus a $1.10/3 IP (soup was $1.11 and broth $3.29). Eggs were $.99 with store q, Quaker $.99 w/store q, then $1/2 manq. Bought Clif bars as fillers to use my $5 cat!


I hit up Dom's for the crazy Aveeno/C&C deal.
Aveeno: $2.92
-$2 e-coupon
-$2 IP
C&C: $6.99
-$2 e-coupon
-$6.99 e-coupon
-$2 IP
for some overage! So I picked up 5 more Breakstone.

Meaning I spent $2.07 cash and earned a $5 cat. Sweet!

Today in the mail I got one of those digest sized Bisquick cookbooks you see at the checkout. Don't remember signing up?

I have also been busy crafting. Check out this lovely baby in the dress I crocheted:

A Good Day Overall

Phew. Rachel convinced me that buying band aids was a snap, so off I went!



The first Wag's denied me, so I left everything there and went to one two blocks away ;)
Band-aids: $1.99 with in-ad q, then $2 off each from Activity Book = earn $.03
Trident Layers: 2/$2, earn $1 RR, $.75/1 IP x2 = $.50 cash, earn $1 RR
Total: $.63 cash, left with $1 RR
(gotta love wags. Gum scans at $1.29 and $.71. so silly!)

Jewel
Chili Master: $3.99 BOGO, $2/1 from AllYOU x3, $1/1 from PC book
Shopper's Value Saltines: $1.49, but FREE WYB 2 Chili = $.98 for 4 chili and 2 crackers
More meat, of course! I found one lone burger for $1.59, stew meat for $2.34, and finally some tenders for $2.74 and $3.03. Not the best on chicken, but average is good, and now I have some beef!
$7.95 cash for all that.
Plus, even though all stores have signs saying you won't earn gas rewards anymore, and spend them before they disappear; however I'm up to $.05 off again...haha. glitch!

Dominick's
Safeway shoppers are reporting Newman's Own Thin Crust for $2.49 "reduced for quick sale." Well, my local store had just the Supreme and Roasted Chicken & Garlic for $2.69, so I snagged one of each.
-$1 Shortcuts, $1/1 IP x2 = 2/$2.38! YUM that's tonight's dinner.
Ensure FREE after q that expired today. Used GC from script, s obasically FREE.

Overall a good day...I would have gotten some amazing things at Target, but oh well, Dominick's pharmicist like left the building or something, so I couldn't transfer my script and I didn't buy anything...

I Feel Like Chicken Tonight...

...Remember that jingle? haha





As you can see, these are SMALL packs of chicken!! It averaged out to $1.11 per pound!! I highly recommend you try and score some of these tomorrow (last day!) I hit up two stores on my lunch break, and they didn't have any. One store on the way home had 1+lb packs, so I didn't get them. But my closest store had a good amount to choose from! I also got a 3-pack of Glade refills on clearance for $.50 and a can of beans. All that for $4.52 total :)

[My two days averaged out is 4.58 pounds of chicken and 1 pound of beef for $7.03 total, or $1.26 per pound!]

I also saw the Fruit 2o 20 oz bottles were $.89, so try and use those $1 coupons if you have any left!

MMM, Chicken and Pasta!

Yes, I went to Jewel again. I haven't felt this way about Jewel in a while!





See? $3 instant savings and Fav 4 Meat savings ;)





I totally lucked out at the Westmont store. Three packs of chicken left: $1.49, $1.68, $1.97. Then a twin pack of pub burgers for $3. Then the auto $4.10 deduction. A total of 1.93 pounds of chicken and two 8-ounce burgers for $4.11! That's $1.40/lb. GREAT I may stop at my local Jewel before work tomorrow. Can't beat that for thinly sliced chicken breast. I would like some tenders, too.




I also found a $1 OYNO catalina at self-check (But not until after I paid for the meat) so I decided to come home and print the Ronzoni Smart Taste coupons that appeared today.
Pasta: $1 each x8, Used 4 $1/2 IP
Juice: $2.50, $1 coupon in Jewel PC Update book
Used $1 OYNO cat, got instant $3 savings for spending $10
Total of $1.86 cash! hehe. Cashier was shaking her head to herself as she put in my coupons, but didn't say anything. I also got some GREAT cats from the garbage. LOVE self-check. $1/1 on: Honey-Comb, Grape-Nuts, Swanson Broth, ANY Skippy, nut-trition. $3 on any Green Works laundry detergent.

All in all, a great day. Good thing we love pasta. I'm gonna go boil some up for workday lunches.

SC Johnson Rebate

I was pretty excited about the $3.50 Glade Fragrance Collection IP, especially when I started reading about the prices at Wal-Mart and then the rebate here!

The three-wick candles were $4.50, and I used 4 of the $3.50 coupons
Small jar candle on rollback for $3, used $3 IP
Nature's source cleaners at Target: 3 were $2.99, one was $2.49
On each I used a $1 store q, and a $1 manq (from the insert and some on the bottle).
Total cash: $9.72
Will get back $15 in rebates, so I made money! Will be great as Christmas gifts :)

Meijer and Savings Updates

Whew. I set foot in Meijer and had a GOOD experience. That is so outside of ordinary! I had a self-check lady who said yeah, the coupons had been giving her trouble today, and she feels bad for us customers who have to have patience while she keys them all in. So of course I jump in with the "and the ones that yell at you when it isn't your fault." Her response? "I'm not inside the computer!" haha

Canned Veggies: $.99 each, $1/3 Meijer Meal Box (MBQ) x2, $1/5 IP = $.49 each
Starkist Tuna: $1.29 each, $.50/1 MBQ x2, $1/2 IP = $.29 each
Healthy Choice: $2.50 each, $2 IP x2 = $.50 each
OM Deli Creations: $2 each, $1/1 MBQ x2, $1/2 manq = $.50 each
Over all, a GREAT trip, and makes me more apt to try Meijer in the future.

Today I received my $4/1 Star product coupons (5 total, yay!), a $25 GC for Ace from my Discover Rewards. Coincidentally, I also got a $10/$30 Ace coupon from VISA, meaning if I spent just a bit over $35 I can combine the two (must use VISA card to use coupon).

Wal-Mart has my Over-the-Moon milk on price rollback for $2, thanks to the blogs I read since the shelf wasn't marked. Used the $1 PDF coupon to get 2/$2. This is the best chocolate milk and the 1% milk tastes great as well. Easy to stock up on because they are dated 10/31. I need to make room in the fridge to buy a few more before the price goes back up. Also bought the Sara Lee Lunchmeat and the YoBaby 3-in-one meal. Great deals to be had!!

Jewel had a great deal going - buy 4 Nabisco products for $10, get an instant $3 off!
Crackerfuls: $2.50 each, manq for FREE WYB Ritz = 4 FREE
Ritz: $2.50 each, $1/2 tearpad x2 = $2 each
Then $3 off, twice = 8 boxes for $2!
Fruit 2o Essentials on sale for $1, $1/1 manq! = FREE
Fancy Feast Appetizers: $.99 for a twin pack, BOGO manq = $1.98/8!
I did two transactions and used two of the Discover Card $1 on your order q, so I paid under $3 for 8 crackers, 8 cat food, and 2 water. yay!

Used $5 GC I had from Special K deal. Spent $3.10 cash! YAY!

More Rebates =)

I LOVE winter, and I love soup and crackers as an easy lunch. It's something I can leave at work so I can have it at whim, and it's very low cal so I can then enjoy granola bars and more fruit through the afternoon. I hit up Jewel like the old days, rolling some cats and earning some rebates...

Transaction #1
10 Progresso Light Soup: $16.67 sale price. Used 5 $1/2 store coupons from PC book, 3 $1.10/3 IP = paid $8.63 cash, and earned $5 GM Cat





I then decided I would finally take part in the Kellogg's Fuel for School rebate, which overlapped with the Cat.

Transaction #2
Morningstar Burgers: $4.07 pre-card, $3.67 sale, $1 IP x2
Special K Crackers: $4.25 pre-card, $3 sale, $1 IP x2
Speical K Bars: $5.89 pre-card, $4.50 sale, $1/2 IP
Whole-Grain Cheez Its: $1.77 sale, $.75 IP x4
Pre-card total for cat: $28.42 What helped keep this close to $25 was that the Cheez Its are NOT part of the catalina, but they ARE part of the rebate =)
Used $5 GM Cat to help pay. Still paid $17.08 cash, BUT I should be able to submit the Fuel for School $10 rebate, AND I got more Special K tokens so I can send for the $10 Jean Voucher, which makes this stuff FREE, PLUS I earned $10 in Cat!





Transaction #3
I oringally only wanted yogurt, but ended up doing the Kellogg's deal in between LOL
On sale for $2, had $1 manq. Bought 4, plus one fruitcup so I could spend my $5 cat. whew. $.20 cash

Altogether:
Spent $25.91 cash (ouch!)
Earned:
$10 Kellogg's rebate(which includes $70 Dell coupon as well...won't use it though)
$10 Special K Jeans Voucher
$5 Cat still in hand

Not too shabby. Although the Special K crackers aren't listed on the rebate...so I'm a bit worried, but oh well. I'm not returning the stuff. Still good deals!!

Sometimes, I even amaze myself!

I vaguely member sending away for some free formula sample a while back...well, Matt got the mail while I was out today, and I had three samples! Free newborn diaper, free Head & Shoulders AND free formula....yes, each can makes 15 - 6 oz bottles! That is CRAZINESS!! Good thing I know a baby being born this weekend! :)




CVS was sorta ho-hum, but stuff I could use.



Cookies: 2/$5, $1 CRT, earn $2 ECB
Kleenex: $2.59 x2 (I've used an entire box so far this week, and I'm down to my last one! A necessity!)
Got a $3/$10 CVS CRT today, so used it.
Progresso: 3/$6, $1.10/3 IP, earn $2 ECB (love this for lunches in winter!)
Oatmeal: $1, $.75 IP = 2/$.50

(Debating hitting up Jewel for the GM Catalina...I could get 9 more soup for ultimately less per can than at CVS. But then it's actual cash. hmmmm)

Target rocked, again. Cashier was a bit put off, but so what?



9 small bags of Chef Michaels $.50 ea, 9 FREE coupons
8 cans of Chef Michaels $.84 ea, 4 Target BOGO and 4 man BOGO = 8 FREE

LOVE TARGET!

We'll see if I get to Jewel tomorrow...hmmm.

Why yes, Thursday *is* shopping day!

Whew. On Thursdays I travel about 20 miles down Ogden avenue, which means I can hit up many, many stores, and often multiple locations of the same store ;)

First up: Dominick's. They are having one of their "Buy 5, save $5" deals. I scored! Wished I had my free sample of Kashi Honey Sunshine with the FREE coupon, but it hasn't arrived yet...



(Prices are AFTER $1 savings per box)
Cheerios: $1.50 x2, $1 IP x2
Kashi Autumn Wheat: $2 x2, $1.50/2 IP
Kashi Puffs: $2, FREE product coupon from a complaint
Kashi U: $2, $1/1 from Whole Foods booklet, $1.50/1 IP
NV Nut Clusters: $2 x3, $1 IP x3 Also: Cellfire AND ShortCuts each took off $1 Nut Clusters and $.40 NV granola bars. Go figure... but $.20/3!
The cashier fed me a line about if an Internet q doesn't scan, they won't accept it. I told him to be sure he covers up the goofy barcode then. Somehow he scanned a $1 a 2nd time, so TOTAL: $3.53 w/tax (so $.36 each!!!) That's better than my target price of $.50/box, and for healthy cereal for once!




I stopped at Jewel to try out the hidden deal of Fave 4 meats that I read about on Rachel's blog. I have read this before, but not tried it. Worked like a charm! About $1.58/pound, sweet! Great deal for "fancy" cuts like thin cutlets and tenders. We'll have fun breading these up and adding to pasta or dipping in sauce.

I then hit up Target, with unpleasant employees!



Buddies Bar: $.97, Target q adjusted down automatically: FREE
Gerber Bottle: $.99, FREE after Target q
Cinnabon bars: $2, $.50 Target q, $1 IP = $.50
Archer Farm Bread: $.99, FREE after Target q
GM Cereal Cup: $1, FREE after Target q
Yoplait: $2.25 x2, $1 IP x2 = $1.25 each
Chef Michael Dog Food: $.89 each, BOGO Target q, BOGO manq = 2 FREE! Both coupons took off the amount automatically!
The cashier told me she was not allowed to take the GM cereal coupon on the cup, I politely said there was no size restriction on it, so yes, they do take it. Called some CS person over, and she said "I need ALL of the coupons" and she printed a copy of my receipt at another register so she could review things. That's like saying to my face "you are abusing the system!" I'm not the one that makes the coupons!! sheesh

Finally, the drug stores:



CVS: 12 of the protein bars that are B2G1 (so 4 free), an used 6 BOGO q (pay for 2 total). PLUS I used the "$4/$20 Diet or Nutrition Items" q from the ReadyFill booklet.
Gade Sense & Spray: 2/$10, used $4 manq x2, to pay $2 and receie $3 ECB
FREE nut coupon from my e-mail
Used a $2.99 ECB. But although the protein bar q's are up to $1.59 and they cost $1.79, he took off full price, so I could only use 5 BOGO q's. $.45 for all that!"
Walgreens had vitamins on sale for $6.99/100 ct. Used $2 manq and $2 Wags q from the Back to School August booklet. $2.99 each is quite decent.
Rimmel eyebrow pencil: $2.09 on sale, used $1 manq.

(yesterday at CVS I got my mom the new Zyrtec eye drops. $12.99 sale, $4 manq, $5 CRT and $2/$10 allergy purchase from ReadyFill book!)

WHEW. That shopping always tires me out, but it is totally worth it. 4 boxes of cereal for a coworker, 2 for my brother at grad school, the bottles and buddies bars to add to a gift basket for our youth pastor and his wife, dog food to donate, etc. Shopping is such a thrill!! I still can't believe anyone pays full price for anything.

Target strikes again!

Yeah, Target today. The cashier gave me my total, and I handed over my coupons and she says "My favorite part!" DEFINITELY looking for her next time!!




Buddies Soap: $1.02, $1 Target q = $.02
Gerber Bottle: $.99, $1 Target q = -$.01
Cinnabon bars: $2, $1 IP and $.50 Target q = $.50
GM Cereal Cup: $1, $1 Target q = FREE
Bananas: $.50 Target q = $.17
Egg Beaters: $2, $1 IP = FREE
Yoplait: $2.25 each, $1.25 IP x2 = $1 each
Dove Deodorant: $3.29, $1 Target q, $2 manq = $.29
Yay! $3.97 + tax = $4.27 total!




My Jewel had Dannon 3/$1, and avenu was $.50/3 Light n Fit!
12 LnF: $4, $.60/6 manq x2, $2 off with avenu = $.10 each!
4 reg. Dannon: $1.34, $1/4 catalina = $.08 each!
Jewel Parmesan: $2.50
Honey Bunches of Oats: $2.50, $2 IP = $.50
Sara Lee Bread: $2.49. Found coupon on display to get pack of mini bagels free with bread purchase!
Used $5 catalina from Kraft deal.
With tax, $2 for ALL of that. PLUS the two update your PC booklets. woo hoo! More FREE milk.

Shopping Summary

Okay, there is one lone photo. It's been one of those weeks including mini-vacay, sales meetings at work and VBS all week, plus Dr appts on Friday. So groceries have been scattered and put away in stages, etc.

Mighty Dog: 9 cans with FREE coupon
All 2-load size $.02 each after q (8)
$16.52 for that because I got $2 more off than I should because she was doing the coupons the long way rather than pushing the K1 button. *shrug*

Trans #2:

Zone Bars were our BEST result. They had bonus 6 bar packs instead of 5 for $4.79 each, which made them comprable to when we purchase at Sams Club, plus Sams doesn't carry this flavor. So we bought 2. Also used BOGO q for 2 bars. However, when he scanned BOGO coupon (didn't even read the q, just scanned) it took off $4.79 automatically!! BOGO on the BOXES! SWEET.
This trans was $10.08 and will get back $2.99 rebate. I love Target some days!!

Butter $1.49 after Super q

Sometimes You Win, Sometimes You Don't

It was one of "those" days at Dominick's, where things went awry but (mostly) to my favor. hmmm. Reminder: never use internet coupons at this location. It freezes the self-check. Ooops!!

When I scanned my card, out popped a $3/$10 produce, which I just so happened to have :) No photo as I split the watermelon with mom, shared pineapples with the bro, and had the salad for dinner.

Dentastix: 2/$6, $2.50 Shortcuts, $2.50 IP x2 = -$1.50!!
Colgate: $2.49 w/Super Coupon, $.75 CellFire x2, $.75 manq = $.24
one apple (Jazz, never heard of it, sounded good) = $.59
Watermelon: $1.99
Chiquita Pineapple: bought 12 on sale BOGO, used 6 q from the packages. the other 6 still had q and I still have 3. On sale til next Wednesday, so will go back for later exp. date. (she rang up 13, but I had to leave, didn't read receipt right away, etc.no biggee)
Salad from deli: $4.99
$23.49 before any q, paid $5.18 from my $30 GC for transferring my script. Should have been $1 less, but hey, $5 for ALL that? That's my dinner alone and the rest is free LOL




Target for once was EASY because the lady in front of me had all clearance items, plus a Nutrogena with the $3 q which impressed the cashier. Good sign for me!

Kashi Strawberry Waffles: $2.94, used FREE Vocalpoint q
= FREE
Kashi Honey Oat Waffles: $1.99, $1.50 manq, $.25 Target q = $.24
Softsoap refills: $3 clearance, $2 Target q, $1 manq = FREE
Breyers Yogurt: $.52 each, $1/2 IP = 2/$.04
PopChips: 2/$5, $1 IP x2, $1/2 Target q = 2/$2
After q and with tax: $2.54

Went back after church for one more Softsoap and two All detergents ($1.02 with $1 q). $.30 for all three :)

Now plotting my Sunday CVS Attack. Debating going at 7am to get enough items to make $30. Debating if it is worth it or not...could make a lot of ECBs and I have been burning through them quickly!!

E-coupons are crazy!

You really should just load all the coupons from CellFire, ShortCuts and P&G e-saver. Because the discounts just fly off the screen!.





Nature Valley: $1.50 after Super Coupon x2
Cell Fire $.40/1 ANY, ShortCuts $.50/1 Dark Chocolte AND $.50/1 ANY, $.50/1 IP
=$1.10/2

Fruit Roll Ups: $1.50 w/SC x2
CF $.50/2, SC $.50/2 AND $.50/2 (diff. exp.), $.50/2 IP
=$1/2

Kraft Cheese: $1.49 w/SC, $1 IP = $.49

18 ct eggs: $.99 w/SC

Duracell: $4.99 w/SC, P&Ge $1, $.75 manq = $3.24

Bakery Bread: $1.19, $1 store IP = $.19

OM Deli Creations: $.99 each on clearance (didn't risk using a q)

OM Beef Franks: $1.88 w/SC, $1 IP = $.88

Chiquita Pineapple: $.99 BOGO store sale, 3 BOGO q (all they had. but brought home 3 more q) = FREE

TOTAL: $10.66 Not too bad when you consider 1/3 of that is batteries. $2 is OM Clearance and $.99 is eggs. GREAT deals to be had with super coupons and e-coupons!!
