Free Special K at Food Lion

Here's a great deal on Special K at Food Lion this week.

ETA (1/1/10) No more prints available for the bogo coupon, so I hope you got yours yesterday!

Special K cereals are 2/$5, and when you buy 5, you instantly get $5 off at checkout. There are some good printables out for this deal, and I know I've seen a lot of peelies on the cereals at the store, plus there's a $1/1 printable at coupons.com for the Blueberry variety. Plus, in the past, when I've used a bogo coupon at Food Lion, the register automatically enters the RETAIL price, not the sale price, as the amount it takes off. I don't know if it will work that way with this coupon (I'll let you guys know) but here's what I'll be doing:

ETA: The coupon will take off $3.40! (I did it today!)

2 Special K $2.50/ea
2 Special K (original) $2.50/ea
1 Special K Blueberry $2.50/ea
$3.00 of fruit
=$15.50

-Instant $5
-2x bogo printable coupon HERE (this coupon specifies original Special K or granola only)- here's the deal, I anticipate this coupon taking off $3.40/each (regular price) instead of $2.50/each (we'll see!) = $6.80
-$1/1 Special K Blueberry ip HERE
-$.50 off fruit wyb Special K printable HERE and HERE x5 = $2.50
=-$15.30

=$.30 oop+ tax

~Also, it appears this bogo q has reset as I printed it once per computer when it was first available (all it would allow) but I was able to print it two more times each!

OR you could do this

3 Special K $2.50/ea
3 Special K (original) $2.50/ea
$3.50 of fruit
=$18.50

-Instant $5
-3x bogo printable coupon HERE (this coupon specifies original Special K or granola only)- here's the deal, I anticipate this coupon taking off $3.40/each (regular price) instead of $2.50/each (we'll see!) = $10.20
-$.50 off fruit wyb Special K printable HERE x6 = $3.00
=-$18.20

=$.30 oop + tax

**
And while you're at Food Lion, don't forget to print the FLips HERE for Food Lion hot chocolate and Swiss Miss hot chocolate, both are free with this coupon this week.

Thrifty coffee


Ok, so I don't normally consider Starbucks thrifty, at ALL, but I have recently become a fan of the Starbucks Via. It's a new instant coffee that comes in little one-serving packs. The great thing about the Via is that, unlike other instant coffees, it is micro-ground, which means it dissolves instantly in any temperature beverage.

So...if you like iced-mochas, are on the road and not near a Starbucks, or don't want to spend $4? Get a bottle of chocolate milk and pour in one or two of these babies, cap, shake and presto! instant mocha. Like iced coffee? Pour a Via into a bottle of water and shake. Instant iced coffee. I have tried them, and I really do like these. I prefer the darker roast.

It seems pricey for coffee (and is), at $10 for a 12-pack of one-serving packs, but compare it to a cup of coffee at Starbucks.

One Starbucks Coffee: $3+

Or Buy a 12-pack of bottled water for approximately $2 (with coupons!) and a 12pk of Via (click on the button below) for $15 (incl. shipping).



That works out to approximately $1.40 per bottle. Make your own at home with your Kleen Kanteen and filtered water at home and bring the cost down even more.

If you want to stock up, not have to leave your home, and get 20% off, order over $100 here--> 20% Off Orders over $100

~
Buy
3 4-boxes (48 packs) Via @ $34.95 (regularly $39.95)
Total $104.85

-20%
=$83.88
+shipping (approximately $7)
=$90

This amounts to 144 serving packets for $90, or $.63/each.

Once you use one packet and your bottled water (at $.17, from scenario above), that makes your very own bottled iced coffee $.90!

So you may pay $90 now, but you'll be saving $342 over the life of those 144 drinks!
~

These are also great for baking. Tiramisu anyone?

YUUUMMMMM!

Huge Moneymaker at Rite Aid

This will be a big YMMV situation (Your Mileage May vary). Depending on whether your Rite Aid will take more than one VV coupon per transaction, and if they will take a coupon on a "free" item. The registers will allow both...but the cashiers may not. :)

Benevia 4-packs are bogo this week. So....

Buy
Benevia $8.99
Benevia $0.00 (rings free)
SoyJoy $.60 x5= $3.00
$8.01 in something you need.
Total: $20.00

Use
$5/20 VV coupon
2) Benevia $5/1 ip
2) Benevia $2/1 VV coupons
(if you have them...Soyjoy VV coupons)
Total: -$17.00

Total oop: $3.00

Total SCR's earned: $3.00

Adjust this scenario as needed to include items you need/have coupons for, bringing your total to $20 and making sure your overage is covered by other items.

Also, keep an eye out for clearanced holiday baking goods. I found Nestle Tollhouse morsels 50% off today. With a $1/1 coupon, that made these $.49/ea

Rite Aid

I thought there weren't a lot of good deals at Rite Aid this week, so I didn't post a list, but then I saw that the O-Celo sponges were $.99 and there's a $1/1 coupon in the Publix Winter Savings booklet (scanned, no beeps, so I got $.01 overage). Plus, the Nivea lotion is on sale, making the Nivea deal cheaper (b/c of tax) so I did this

1 Nivea lotion $5.99/ea
-Free wyb 2 lip product mq
4 Nivea lip $2.99/ea
-(2) bogo lip product mq's
-(2) $.50/1 lip product (found on display at KMart)
1 Halls $.99
-$.50/1 Video Values RAq
-$5/20 Video Values RAq
=$1.69 oop
~earned $1 Nivea Body SCR#117 (lotion) & $2 Nivea lip SCR#116

Then I needed headphones for my daughter (finally found her an MP3 player for Christmas), so I got those $14.99, and bought several O-Celo to up the value to $20 to use a $5/20.
Paid $13.xx but needed these, got a discount and will use it toward my GOS (which I needed!)

Coupon classes

As the new year approaches, I am thinking of expanding my blog to a real website and starting to offer classes. I consistently have people ask how I do what I do, and ask me to show them/teach them.

If you are in the Nashville/Clarksville area, and would be interested in taking a class, please post here the area of town you are in, to give me an idea of where to look to hold some classes.

Watch for changes!

Thanks for reading my blog!!

WALGREENS- oh how I love you

One of these days I will be able to get my son back in his soft fluffy cloth diapers. But for now, we are battling some issues that require disposables. I hate disposables, for every reason imaginable, bad for his health, bad for the environment and they STINK! (yes, I know, no diapers smell like lilacs and roses, but the chemicals in the disposables really REEK. UGH!)

But for now...I needed a good deal on diapers. Enter Walgreens, stage right. Last week I "bought" a whole slew of Triaminic for free. Then for each transaction, I earned a $5 holiday coupon. I used those, and the 15% friends/family coupon to get free Huggies this week. Well, better than free since I earned a $2rr for each transaction.

I love my Walgreens. I mean, really love it. The store is phenomenal, the Manager and his staff are all super friendly and very helpful. I had warned him ahead of time I would be buying a bunch of diapers, so he went ahead and ordered some for me. They had them stashed in the back and when I came in, he brought them out and I did all my separate transactions, with a few other things thrown in to get a few more $5 holiday coupons for a few more packs.

I will submit for the Olay MIR HERE for (I hope) about $20 back, making this a moneymaker day!

Here's what I got:
15 packs Huggies Little Movers
10 Hot hands Handwarmers
16 Mars candy
14 votive candles
1 Gingerbread Kit
1 Complete contact solution
1 Gilette Fusion
2 Olay lotion
2 Olay Bodywash
2 Yes to Carrots Lip Balm
1 Starbucks doubleshot
1 Water
1 box Nilla Wafers
1 box Club crackers

Total owed: $18.44
but then I remembered I had a few gift cards from swiffer rebates from way back with money still on them, so I used those- -$8.75
Total oop: $9.69

Will receive $19.98 rebate for Olay Quench
Will receive $.75 per pack for Huggies from Caregivers Marketplace
Total back: $31.23

Total profit: $21.54


~ETA
For those wondering about transaction details, see my comments below. I needed another couple of $5 holiday coupons to get my last two Huggies I ordered so I did this:

Transaction 1
Oil of Olay Quench $9.99 -15% = $8.49
Oil of Olay Quench $9.99 - 15% = $8.49
Oil of Olay Bodywash $4.79 -15% = $4.07
Oil of Olay Bodywash $4.79 -15% = $4.07
Water $.99 -15% = $.84
Nabisco crackers $1.99 -15% = $1.69
Mt Dew $1.49 -15% = $1.27

Used
15% F&F coupon
$free Quench wyb Olay Bodywash
$free Quench wyb Olay Bodywash
-$8rr earned from Complete contact solution

=Total oop: $3.63
~earned $5 holiday coupon and will submit for Olay rebate

Transaction 2
Complete Contact Solution $7.99 -15% = $6.79
Gilette Fusion Razor $8.99 -15% = $7.64
Yes to Carrots Lip Balm $.99 -15% = $.84
Starbucks doubleshot $1.99 -15% = $1.69
14 Votive Candles $.09/ea
Nabisco crackers $1.99 -15% = $1.69
Gingerbread Kit $9.99 -15% = $8.49

Used
$4 Fusion mq
$1 Complete mq
12) $2rr from huggies

Total oop: $2.69
~earned $5 holiday coupon, $4rr Fusion, $8rr Complete

After this transaction, I turned around and bought another Huggies with the $5 holiday coupon. These expired tomorrow, so I had to go ahead and use them up!

Getting started...at Publix

When I started couponing, no, scratch that. When I started EXTREME couponing, I started slow. Started with CVS, then added in Rite Aid and Walgreens, then I added in the grocery stores and the big chains (Target and Wal-Mart).

Figuring out how to get my groceries at rock bottom prices took a while. I finally learned how to get the most for my money, and I remember the first time I got overage. I was so excited I called everyone! And they all thought I was so funny.

Anyway, if you're starting out at Publix, and might not have newspaper coupons, this is a great week for you! You can get loads of cheap and free things to start your stockpile with only printables that are available and store coupons. I have created a scenario below to show you just what you can get with only the items available right now, without any newspaper or booklet coupons.

Here is a scenario of these items for you (remember that in most areas of TN, GA and AL, BOGO items ring up half price):

Buy
2 Barber Foods Stuffed Chicken Breasts, Assorted Varieties, 8 or 10-oz pkg, BOGO $4.99
-$1/1 Barber Foods printable HERE or HERE (use one coupon for each item purchased)
2 Buitoni Pasta Fettuccine, Linguine, or Angel Hair, 9-oz pkg, BOGO $2.39
-$1/1 Buitoni printable HERE (use one coupon for each item purchased)
2 I Can't Believe It's Not Butter! Assorted Varieties, BOGO $2.29
-$1/1 I Can't Believe it's not Butter printable HERE (use one coupon for each item purchased)
1 Cool Whip Whipped Topping, Assorted Varieties, 8-oz bowl, BOGO $1.49
-$.55/1 Cool Whip printable HERE
6 Betty Crocker Potatoes, Assorted Varieties, 4.6 to 6.6-oz box, BOGO $1.59
-$.40/1 Betty Crocker printable HERE, HERE and HERE (use one coupon for each item purchased)
2 Duncan Hines Moist Deluxe Cake Mix or Cupcake, Assorted Varieties, 17.52 or 18.25-oz box, (Excluding Angel Food and Carrot Cake), BOGO $1.65 (IF your store takes Food Lion competitor coupons)
-$1.50/2 Duncan Hines FLip printable HERE (use one coupon for each two items purchased)
2 Mueller's Pasta, Assorted Varieties, 12 or 16-oz box, or 100% All Natural Whole Wheat Pasta, 13.24-oz box, (excluding Lasagna and Jumbo Shells), BOGO $1.39
-$.55/1 Mueller's Whole Wheat printable HERE (use one coupon for each item purchased)
1 Pure Wesson Oil Vegetable, Corn, 100% Natural Canola or Best Blend, 48-oz bottle, BOGO $3.69
-$.50/1 Wesson printable HERE (use one coupon for each item purchased)
4 Nestle Carnation Evaporated Milk BOGO .99¢
-$.50/2 Carnation milk printable HERE (use one coupon for each two items purchased)
2 Swiss Miss Hot Cocoa Mix, Assorted Varieties, BOGO $1.99 (IF your store takes Target competitor coupons)
-$1/1 Swiss Miss Target coupon printable HERE (use one coupon for each item purchased)
2 Kodak PowerFlash Camera, One-Time-Use, 27 Exposures, BOGO $7.09 (IF your store takes Target competitor coupons)
-$5/1 Target coupon (Valid coupon is no longer available. Target changed the wording and if you haven't already printed it, it will say "excludes single-use cameras")
1 Tostitos Tortilla Chips, Assorted Varieties (Excluding Baked, Light or Natural), 9 to 13-oz bag or Tostitos or Fritos Dip, 15 or 15.75-oz jar, 2/$6 (IF your store takes Rite Aid competitor coupons)
$1/1 Rite Aid coupon (use one coupon for each item purchased)

Total oop: $4.18 + tax

Now, this is only using current printables. If you have inserts from papers, you'll have coupons to stack with some of these (see previous post about good deals). There are also matching q's from several booklets, if you make a habit of snagging a few of each that you see, you'll have some of those as well.

To reduce the out of pocket, start looking for "moneymakers". Currently there are a few in the Green Advantage Buy flyer. As you walk in, pick up a few of those (bring your scissors :) ) and then head to the cosmetics aisle. Look for Revlon beauty tool- nail clippers, emery boards, that sort of thing. Look for the cheapest ones.
Clip out the $2.50/1 Publix coupon in the flyer for any Revlon product. Buy a pair of $1.49 clippers, use this coupon, and you'll get $1.01 off your total. Buy four pair and get $4.04 off your total. See how this works?
If you go HERE and print the $1/1 Revlon tool coupon (it's a manufacturer's coupon with a Target logo on it) and use that with your Publix coupon, you've made an additional dollar to add to your total.

If you're lucky and are shopping a store that does not have a lot of couponers, you'll have no trouble finding these, if your store has a lot of couponers, you'll know it because they'll be gone! LOL!

Also take a look and see if there are any bottles of Sundown Vitamin D @ $2.99/ea. If so, and if they have coupons on the caps for $1/1, grab two, take off the peelie coupons to use, and also clip out the $6/2 Sundown Publix coupon from the flyer. This will give you $2.02 overage for each two bottles with both manufacturer and Publix coupons.

15% off at Barnes and Noble

For the last minute shopping, check out Barnes and Noble's website HERE. I was browsing and found some good deals - And of course they have free shipping AND if you use the code P4K4B7J, you can get 15% off the highest price item in your cart.

Super Deal on E.L.F.

Many couponers/thrifty shoppers are already familiar with ELF (Eyes Lips Face) products. They're super cheap and many of their items sell for $1.
Here's a deal you might want to cash in on for some stocking stuffers/gift bags.

First, sign up for EBates (if you're not already) HERE

Then select e.l.f. from the list of stores so that you get 4% cash back on your purchase.

Once you get to e.l.f.'s site, select the bath and body tab, and hand sanitizers. Once you're there, choose 3 of the $1 sanitizers.
There is currently a special and purchasing three will take $2 off your total. That's $1 for three hand sanitizers.

Now, go checkout and enter the code ELFCMO to get free shipping! (no minimum!!)

So for a whopping dollar you get three sanitizers shipped to your home. :)

The free shipping code is good on any purchase, and the special is $2 off three bath and body items, so go crazy! I've heard their brushes are really nice.

An Amazon deal of note - Carbon Monoxide detector

I want to hilight this product in particular. Every Firefighter/Paramedic I have ever spoken with has told me that with young children in the house, Carbon Monoxide poisoning is a bigger danger than fire. This carbon monoxide detector/alarm is 60% off. While you're shopping for toys and fun stuff, spend a little extra on something that could save your life.

This guy is regularly $54.49 but on sale for $21.99.

More Amazon deals!

The big deal in online shopping is that most companies guarantee receipt of an item by Chrstmas Eve when you order by Dec. 17th. This gives you another day and a half to place your orders. And companies are rushing to give you deals so you'll order from them and not elsewhere.
I've seen more Amazon deals this year than ever before. It's kind of crazy!
**Note that Amazon's deals fluctuate so wildly you might find new deals and then they're gone in minutes, so if you see something you want, I suggest ordering immediately. I waited on an item I wanted to get and three hours later the price was up 70%. :(

Publix and Target 12/13

My daughter spent the night at Grandma's house last night so I had to go pick her up. I figured since I was going to be in the area, I'd go ahead and hit up Publix and the Good Target.

First I went to a Walgreens near there to get a pack of diapers since I was out and I could get them free, the cashier was friendly, until he saw my coupons and rr's. Then he became downright rude and hostile. I will be sending an email to corporate. This is not a store I normally shop at and now they've lost me for good. I did get one pack of dipes and a paper, but not without hassle. And a lot of it.

Target next:

Besides the free Rayovac, there are several items you want to keep your eyes peeled for. My store is a small store and did not have half of these things, so I am going to hit up the bigger store in Nashville tomorrow while I am at Publix.

Steaz tea, two cans FREE
Buy 2, Use one Target coupon HERE and one BOGO mq HERE for two free. (hand over the mq first, then Target q)

Swiss Miss Hot Chocolate, $.97/ea -$1/1 coupon= FREE
Use $1/1 Target coupon HERE - it will self-adjust to $.97, making this free.
If you buy two and also use the $.50/2 11/15ss coupon, you'll add $.50 overage

Kodak Disposable Camera (price varies) $5/1 Target coupon= FREE (or overage)
This $5/1 target coupon HERE is probably meant for digital cameras, since that is what is pictured. However, it does not STATE digital cameras. Look for the disposable cameras priced under $5 and use this on the camera. Be prepared though, if it beeps, and the cashier puches it through, you may need something to eat the overage.
If your cashier gives you a hard time about the wording, I recommend printing and taking the $1/1 Ghiradelli coupon. It is for "Ghiradelli baking products or candy", but it only has a picture of the candy. It is very obviously for both items. For those cashiers/managers that like to claim it's only for the item pictured, use this coupon as your example. :)

Don't forget to look for your Glade while in there too. You never know- maybe they've restocked. LOL.

Free batteries

I have been more than a little bummed about our region not getting the Rayovac $1/1 coupon for the free battery deal at Target. But this is even better!

Go HERE and enter code 74016761(do NOT copy and paste. You have to type those babies in yourself). You will be able to print a coupon for $1/1 Rayovac batteries. This is a pdf with unlimited prints.

Take these to Target and check out the Dollar Spot. These are $1 at Target.

I tested this today because when I printed these, they were a tad blurry, and I didn't know if they would scan. I have the worst Target on the planet so I thought if I could use them there, they could be used anywhere. ;)

The coupons did not scan on the table-top scanner, but when the cashier used the hand-held scanner gun on them, they scanned fine.

I got 8 packs of batteries for under a dollar (for tax).

With two children under 5, we hae a LOT of toys that require batteries. And you can't beat free!

A non-money/budget brag

My four year old has recently learned to write her name. I am a proud mommy for sure. She came up to me a couple of weeks ago and said, look Mommy, I wrote Natalya.

(It's a tough one to spell. lots of letters.)

*sniff* My baby's growing up on me.

Free cookware


I submitted the rebate for the free cookware with purchase of P&G products. Since I purchased these at Publix, I paid pennies oop of the amount necessary to spend, and received some very nice cooking items. (unfotunately my timer already broke, but now my daughter has a lovely pink timer for her play kitchen).

Another Amazon deal

Here's another great Amazon deal- this one is on Crayola Crayon town playmats. Get your child's creativity going for under $5. (Order $25 worth of items and get free shipping on qualifying items- this one is one.)

Here are two that I see (thanks Southernsavers) but there are lots of good deals- I recommend browsing Amazon to see what's on sale. Some good deals out there! And still time to get them before Christmas.




Great bread coupon

Here's a high value coupon for Nature's Pride. I love this brand of bread, I am really big on limiting the high fructose corn syrup in our diets, and this brand of bread doesn't have any. (who needs corn syrup in their bread??)
With a triples, this could be a super-duper deal! :)

Go HERE for $.75/1 Nature's Pride product.

Update to the Walgreens Huggies deal

I have a lovely update to the Huggies deal next week. If you are on friendly terms with your staff at Walgreens, go in and ask them if they have any of the 15% family and friends discount coupons that you can have. These are good one day only: next friday 12/18/09.

So...shop for diapers on 12/18 and do this:

1 Huggies 8.99
1 fill $.50
Total $9.49

Use
-15% discount= $1.42
-$2/1 Huggies ip
-$1/1 Huggies Wags q (from Activity book)
-$5 store coupon from this week's buy $25, get $5 coupon deal

=$.07 + tax
~earn $2rr (Huggies)

AND!! The store coupon is different from a mq- in that the coupon is considered a sale by the register. What does this mean to you? Well, it means that you are not taxed on the pre coupon amont, but on the post coupon amount. So in this case, you will be taxed on $4.49 and not $9.49. So less tax! Woo hoo!!

Amazing Amazon deals on Tag Books

If you are like me and have been (not so) patiently waiting for a good deal on Tag books, you were smart! Many of the books are marked down to $5.99 at Amazon! Order $25 worth and these qualify for free shipping.

CLick on one of the below links, or click on the amazon link at the side to see the selection at Amazon!

While you're at Walgreens...

Ask your BA if they keep a tub of coupons under the counter (some stores do, some don't). The ones that do, casually ask if they have any Yes to Carrots coupons you can have. My store had several $1/1 coupons and the Yes to Carrots Lip Balm is on sale for $.99.
I recommend the melon flavor. Yummy

Great deal on Huggies at Wags next week

I'm telling you this early for a reason. :) If you are in need of diapers, be prepared- there is a super deal next week. If you get your free Triaminic this week, and buy $25 (before coupon) to get the $5 Holiday coupon, you can get a super-duper deal.

So, this week, do something like this
Triaminic Thin Strips 5.00
Triaminic Thin Strips 5.00
Renu $9.99
Neutrogena for Men $4.99
Gift bag $.13
Total: $25.11

Use
Triaminic $3/1 12/6 SS
Triaminic $3/1 12/6 SS
Triaminic $2/1 Healthy Savings (will take off $4)
$2/1 Renu printable

Yankee Candle coupon

Here's a great high value for Yankee Candle- $10 off when you purchase $20 or more in Yankee Candles.

Go HERE for coupon. Hurry!! This one expires Sunday 12/13

You might try (I don't know if it will work, but just thinking...) going to Bed Bath and Beyond armed with a $5/15 purchase coupon. (these are in the paper quite often) Since one is a store coupon and one is a manufacturer coupon, you might be able to use both. I do not KNOW this for sure, just speculating. :)

Rainforest Cafe coupon

Here's a great coupon for Rainforest Cafe. if you find yourself out shopping and your mall has a Rainforest Cafe, here's a q for you.

Go HERE to get the q.

(Personally, I don't care for Rainforest Cafe. I've been there a couple of times and the food is just so-so. It's more for the environment and taking my kids, so if I can get a good deal on the food, that I don't particularly care for, all the better! LOL)
