Cheap Fruit Snacks-Only thru Sun.

Piggly Wiggly has their Betty Crocker fruit snacks on sale this week 4/$5(when you buy in multiples of 4). There are $1/2 printable coupons found at bettycrocker.com for the fruit snacks or fruit by the foot. $.50/2 coupons can be found at www.coupons.com . Also, the kicker is that there is a catalina promotion where you buy 4 boxes and will get a $2.50 coupon to print out for your next purchase. So you'd pay $3 for 4 boxes of fruit snacks but get a $2.50 coupon so essentially you'd pay $.50. I'm so excited about this deal. (So excited that I will shameless post that if you won't be taking part in this deal but wouldn't mind printing the coupons off for me I'd love it! Hee hee, I don't blame you though if you take advantage of it yourself) The sale goes through Tues. but the catalina coupon will only print out through Sunday so hurry.

*If you plan on getting more than 4 boxes I would suggest doing them in separate transactions. If you buy 5 or more boxes you get a $3.50 coupon so the one that makes the most sense is to get 4 and get a $2.50 coupon and just do that twice.

Noodles & Company

If you sign up here, you will get a coupon e-mailed for a free dish when you purchase one. Also, you'll get a free dish when it's your birthday. If you're a Mac-n-cheese fan, I highly recommend theirs!

Canned veggies $.25

Print a coupon for $1/4 cans of DelMonte veggies here . They are on sale at Target this week for $.50 so you'd get them for $.25 after coupon.

$1 off 1 box of Trix, Cocoa Puffs, Lucky Charms, or Cinnamon Toast Crunch

Here is the link.
Too bad this coupon didn't come out yesterday as our grocery store had a good sale on these. I'll be printing these off and holding onto them for another sale to come along.

Thanksgiving Day Shopping Trip-Profit!

In all the busyness of Thanksgiving I forgot to post this. I was able to take advantage of some pretty good Thanksgiving sales. Here is what I all got for $4.64 out of pocket but then after a $7 mail in rebate I will have essentially made $3.65 for buying this. Wohoo!

Chinet Plates $.49

This week at Walgreens, there is a in ad coupon that makes the Chinet plates buy one at $2.99 get one free. You can use 2 of the $1 coupons found here(IE) or here(FF). That would bring your total down to $.99 for two packs of paper plates. Make sure they scan the in ad coupon, one too many times I've had to go back and have them refund me the amount because I forgot about the in ad coupon.

Change to Redbox Codes

Redbox has now changed the way they do their monthly Monday movie codes. You now have to be signed up online to get them text messaged. Each code that is messaged will be unique and unable to be shared. This is a bummer so make sure you sign up to get these codes texted to you on the first Monday of every month.

Here is a printable coupon for $5 off any purchase at Hallmark. This is great to use for cheaper items to get for free or almost free. They also had a few of these in some magazines.

$1.50 off Wet Ones

You can get a coupon for $1.50 off Wet Ones here. I have heard that they are priced at $1.89 at Wal-Mart and $1.99 at Target so you can get some of these for pretty cheap. They are handy to have just about anywhere.

$.50 Sparkling Grape Juice

Apparently, Walgreens should be having their sparkling grape juice on sale next week for $2.50. Use this coupon here(IE) or here (FF) to save $2 and pay just $.50 a bottle. This should come in handy with the holidays coming up.

October Grocery Challenge

October is almost over and I just have one more shopping trip on Wed. to Pick N Save which I already have mapped out. This month I realized God has blessed us with an over abundance of food from all the good deals. I decided we really needed to try and use up as much as we could without buying too much extra. I only took out money for the first half of the month for groceries which is $120. After my trip on Wed. I will still have $3 left. Now mind you, I did get a few rebates back this month from food I bought previous months so I may have gotten more than $117 worth of groceries but for me the real point is that I spent half our budget. We still have quite a bit of food so I'm going to see how well I can do in November as well. One big thing, besides couponing, that has helped me is to menu plan. Since I do the envelope budget, I will take out money for the first half of the month and put in the food envelope. I will make a list of meals for the first 15 days, that way I can look through the cupboards and freezers to see what we already have and base meals off that. Then I may only need a few items from the store. I can save the budget money to continue to stock up on great sales.

Fun Shopping Trip

So I've kinda hung back a little in coupon deals. There haven't been a ton of awesome ones lately. I had a pretty good shopping trip this Saturday afternoon. After unloading everything, I decided it was worth a picture and post. After a mail in rebate of $15 and then a $4 off your next purchase coupon, I spent $34 for all this:



25 Puffs tissues
4 9pks. Quilted Northern toilet paper
1 gallon whole milk
10 pk. Bagel Chips
8 pks. Ore Ida Easy Fries
10 pks. Pillsbury cookie dough
2 boxes Ritz crackers
3 boxes Honey Maid graham crackers
5 boxes Saltines
1 Gillette razor
4 bananas
4 Zantacs
2 bags Lifesaver gummies
4 Glade Sense & Sprays

It was about $175 worth of stuff. So a savings of 81%. I was glad to get a good stockpile of crackers and bagel chips as John and the kids loooove crackers.
