POST CEREAL SALE!

I want to pass along a great deal that is happening at Albertson's this week. It will only work until Sunday, so don't wait to long to do your shopping.

Albertson's has some of their post cereal on sale for $1.59 a box (Honey Bunches of Oats; Fruity Pebbles; Honeycomb; Golden Crisp; and Raisen Bran) Well, there is a Catalina that runs from 2/26-3/21 (Sunday)
Where if you buy four boxes you get a $3.00 good on your next shopping trip coupon that will print at checkout;
buy Five or more and you get a $4.00 coupon on your next shopping trip that will print at checkout;

So, you will do best to buy your cereal in groups of five

Buy 5 boxes of cereal = $7.95 plus tax
Get back a $4.00 Catalina
(about $.79 a box when considering the $4.00 coupon)

You can then turn around and do the transaction again only this time

Buy 5 boxes of cereal = 7.95 plus tax
Use the $4.00 catalina = 3.95 plus tax out of pocket cost
get a $4.00 catalina back

If you head on over to A Thrifty Mom http://athriftymom.com/2010/03/post-cereal-sale-starts-march-17th/ she has some scenarios listed using doublers and coupons (which we did not get here in Idaho, but you can order on ebay or other coupon clipping sites)

Just remember that the Catalina only runs through the 21st, so don't wait to long!

Thanks http://athriftymom.com/ for the information!

March Madness Instant Win Game!

If you head on over to http://www.pinchingyourpennies.com/forums/showthread.php?t=145783 at Pinching Your Pennies, there is a list of stores with links that are participating in a March Madness Instant win game. You click on the store of your choice (Kroger, Smith's, Fred Meyer, etc.) It will take you to a page where after you have registered or signed in (I did Smith's and it just had me sign into my Smith's account) You get to play an instant win game. I won free Oscar Meyer Hot Dogs! The coupon gets loaded onto your card to use the next time you shop! You can enter every day through March, but can only win 2 instant prizes, however, everytime after that you can be entered into their Grand Prize drawing.

Thanks Deweyville @ Pinching Your Pennies!

Albertson's Promo Deal

Albertson's has a promo deal running this week where if you buy $20.00 or more of participating General Mills Products you will save $7.00 on your next shopping trip. Usually this kind of promotion is great because the $20.00 is before store and manufacture coupons, thus your out of pocket cost can be lower than the $20.00. Also, you can usually roll the coupon into your next transaction and use the $7.00 to lower your next out of pocket cost.

Well, this time there is some fine print in the Ad that I want to make sure you are aware of. It states that the minimum purchase requirements is after manufacturer and store coupons, and also that there is a limit of one $7.00 coupon offer per customer. So, if your store is following these rules, you will not be able to roll the $7.00 into another transaction and get $7.00 back again, and your total will have to be $20.00 after your coupons have been scanned. :( Hopefully this is not a permanent thing for the store now. However, every store has their own way of following the rules so you may want to ask at yours!

$100 in coupons from P&G with $50.00 purchase

This deal has been posted all over the Internet, so I am not sure exactly who to give credit to...

If you head over to http://www.thankyoumom.com/coupons.jsp P&G is offering coupon books with $100 worth of coupons if you purchase $50.00 worth of P&G products between February 1st and April 15, 2010. This says it is before coupons, and there are a lot of deals to be found on P&G products. You just save your receipts (they do not have to be on the same receipt), print out the form, and mail it all in. Then you just have to wait until you receive the coupon book in the mail! This is a great way to build up your coupon supply. P&G has so many brands for household products so make sure to check it out. More than likely you will easily meet the $50.00!

Free Johnson's Soap Buddies

Smartsource has put out a new coupon for $1.00 / 1 Johnson Baby's product. You can use this coupon on the Johnson's Soap Buddies that are around $1.00 at Target and Walmart and other stores http://coupons2.smartsource.com/smartsource/index.jsp?Link=5S2ZUA6PWPEPO It was the first coupon that came up on the page for me. I have gotten a few of these for my kids and they really like them. The coupon states not on trial size items, and this product is a regular sized item and should work just fine.

There is also a $2.00 / 2 Right Guard coupon on Smartsource as well, that you may want to print. It doesn't exclude size so you can use it to get two free trial size deodorants! Remember, when using coupons you get the best deal if you use it on the smallest size product you can, and when there is not a size restriction you should be able to use it on the trial size product.

And then also there is a coupon for $1.00 / 1 Johnson Shampoo and it does not have a size restriction either, so you can use it to get some free Baby Shampoo in the trial section of many stores. Here http://bricks.coupons.com/Start.asp?tqnm=rlsudhw9869799&bt=wi&o=9997&c=JB&p=BdK9cFm0 These are great for baby gift baskets!

Thanks Hip 2 Save!

CREST CAVITY PROTECTION TOOTHPASTE ON $.04!

This week you can get Crest Cavity Protection toothpaste for only $.04! To do this you will be stacking a manufacturers coupon with a store coupon at Walgreens! This deal should work until 2/27, so that means there is a couple of weeks to take advantage of this deal! I love stocking up on toothpaste when it is free or super cheap!

So purchase 1 Crest Cavity Protection toothpaste (6.4 oz.) regularly priced at $2.29
Use the .75/1 coupon from 2/7 PG insert
Stack that with the $1.50/1 Walgreens coupon from the February coupon booklet {expires 2/27!} (The monthly Walgreens coupon booklets are usually found at the front of the store. You should only need to use one of these coupons even if you are purchasing several tubes of toothpaste and it should deduct $1.50 for each one.)
Final price: .04!!

Thanks Utah Deal Diva!

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY! I apologize for the lack of posting the last little while. This post has no great deal in it, but I just want to say how thankful I am for all of those in my life I get to love and who love me. I am at home with just my little baby this weekend for Valentine's Day. Last year it was just me and her also, the other two kids and husband had gone off on a family vacation and since the baby was only a few weeks old, I opted out and got the rest I needed. Well this year, after packing the car and heading out of town to visit family, my beautiful little girl decided it was a good time to get a stomach bug. So needless to say, her and I have been laying around, and doing lots of laundry the last two days. It sure makes you realize how much you have and are blessed with when you go without for a few days. I am so blessed with a wonderful husband and three great kids whom I love more than I ever thought possible. I hope you all have a great day with your loved ones and continue to show your love and appreciation not just today, but all year long.
