It just keeps getting better!

The pork deal that is. Now there's a FLip for $1/2 KC Masterpiece bbq sauce/marinades. If you add that to your total of q's, and do two deals using the KC masterpiece as the qualifying item, you'll add another $1 off to your total. Go HERE for the FLips.

Milk q winners!

I'm sorry it took me so long to post this! The weather here has been awful and my power's been flickering. I can't get my computer to connect to the internet at all, and I'm on our laptop (mostly used by my hubby), which I don't care for because it can't keep up with my speed of typing!!

Anyway: Winners, randomly selected are:
Sabrina: bradnbrina@yahoo.com
Margery: mnhilburn@yahoo

I will be emailing you shortly for mailing addresses!

Thanks everyone! It is really exciting to see that people are really interested in what I'm putting out there. I hope it helps you guys get some good deals, or inspire you to keep your eyes out for other deals!

Great Kashi coupons!

Some new great Kashi coupons available at coupons.com (see my link box to the left to get there to print them). There are still unexpired Target printables for these to stack with. Perhaps another Kashi deal is around the corner?

Mmmm Kashi.

There are also a whole bunch of printables for General Mills products and Betty Crocker. Word on the street is that these will be in a big upcoming mega-event at Kroger, so go ahead and print the good ones before they're gone!

The charcoal deal improves...

Not only is there a $3 FLip available right now, but next week's sale ad says the charcoal is on sale for $7.99. Stack that FLip with the $3 mq for a bag of charcoal that costs $1.99. If you're lucky enough to have the $4 off q, you can get that charcoal for $.99!!

Don't forget, if they're all out of charcoal (likely, especially at my store! LOL!) Get a RAINCHECK!! Many stores will allow you to use expired q's with your raincheck if the q's were valid when the raincheck was issued. It certainly doesn't hurt to ask.

So it looks like this:
Buy:
1 Kingsford Charcoal $7.99
1 pork $1xx
1 beef $2xx
1 KC Masterpiece $1.99
Total: $12.98

Coupons:
$3/1 mq + $3/1 FLip
$6/1 pork wyb Charcoal and participating product (KC Masterpiece here)
$2/1 beef wyb charcoal Food Lion tearpad
$free KC Masterpiece wyb Charcoal
-Total: $15.99

Profit: $3.02

If you have other conjunction q's, you can throw those in too, like the reynolds wrap wyb charcoal, or $2/1 pork ribs wyb KC Masterpiece Food Lion tearpad, etc.

Cheap Lipton tea

There are several Lipton coupons out right now, one for $1/1 (found in the Raise your Hand for Savings booklet) and $.50/1 found in several inserts. In TN, our Publix stores double, both these are worth $1 off one any size Lipton. Lipton 16ct boxes are priced at $1.09 at Publix, making these $.09 each. A great price if you drink a lot of tea. Take your $1 off q's to Target for the same price.

Finally got to Publix this week

Have I mentioned how much I love Publix? At least, my Publix? They are so awesome! I wasn't able to get down there on Thursday, as planned, and Friday was a wash, so I went in today with a whole slew of q's that expired at the end of the month. Manufacturer q's and Publix q's. They took them all, no problem. Unfortunately a few items I wanted were out of stock, so I had to get rainchecks and it threw off my numbers (also throwing me off was the change in price of a few things with the new Adv. Buy flyer...oh well.)

I'm doing this a little differently this time, maybe to help reduce the confusion. :) I am listing these by transaction so you can see exactly what I did (with a grand total at the bottom). Had two oops transactions go negative. Manager opened up the drawer and handed me cash back. (I really try not to do that!)

I also threw in one $1/1 Guiding Stars FLip per transaction since my Food Lion will let me use them that way. (Although I did have to explain what this FLip meant- the "Guiding Stars")

My first giveaway!

Get your Free Milk here!

I have no idea how many people actually read my blog, so I will be curious to see if anyone is interested in this. :)

I am lucky enough to have several friends and family that will print coupons for me, and since we do not drink a lot of milk, I have several of the Free Milk and Free Chocolate Milk printable coupons.

I will give away 2 sets of these, each set will contain three coupons: 2) "Free Gallon Milk (with $100 grocery purchase)" coupons and 1) "Free chocolate Milk wyb a gallon of white milk" coupons.

If you're interested, please comment below. Tell me the best/favorite bargain find that you have stumbled across. Don't forget to include your email address so I can contact you.

These q's expire 8/13, so I want to get them to someone who can use them before expiration! I will choose a winner on Tuesday, Aug. 4 at 9pm CST.

{These are original printed coupons that will scan at the register with no problems.}
