New Cellfire coupons

2009-08-25T13:20:00.002-05:00

Cellfire has new coupons loaded. Many of the same, a few different. This is my favorite e-coupon site! This paired with a manufacturer coupon always leaves me with cheap yogurt, chex mix, cereal and random other goodies. Right now my favorite is the Yo-Plus yogurt, where you can save $2 and this is always under $3. Use your Kroger, Tom Thumb and Safeway cards to load up!

Kroger Mega 10 Event

2009-08-23T02:40:00.003-05:00

This is what I came up with, my 10 items minus the StarKist tuna. It's not offered in the sale, but is $1 which I got both for free. I paid $3.77 for all of these items, with the sale & coupons, saved me $22.

Walgreens 8/23

2009-08-23T02:11:00.003-05:00

Walgreens has many deals weekly, along with Register Rewards which is pretty much getting the money back you paid for or less, but as store credit. It's a good thing to get these deals and roll them on to other items that will give you more RR's. Keeping the money going is the best way to get the best deal. It's a little confusing and I haven't gotten into it yet, but I plan to soon.

I don't want to post every deal, but look at your paper or the online ad. I'll add what stands out to me.

Select Kellogg’s Cereal (12 to 20-oz.), 2/$5
Find a $1/2 coupon
$2 each/$4 & earn $2 RR's

Reach Toothbrush, $0.99 (w/ ad coupon)
Use $1/1 (SS 8/2/09) Reach Toothbrush w/ ad coupon
FREE

Rimmel Mascara $3.49 (on sale 40% off)
$2/1 Rimmel Mascara (RP 8/23/09)
Possibly .09

Scotch Transparent Tape, 2/$1 (w/ ad coupon)
$1/3 Scotch Tape (V 7/12/09) w/ ad coupon
$0.17 ea.

There is also a coupon for a free 8x10 photo collage on Wednesday 8/26 ONLY. I'll post the online code when it's released.

Free Halls Cough Drops

2009-08-22T15:12:00.002-05:00

Sign up with Halls & they will send you a survey. Fill out the survey within 5 days and they'll send you a coupon for free Halls cough drops.

I got this heartburrrrrn!

2009-08-22T14:19:00.003-05:00

Zantac is offering a $5.00 coupon which makes free at Wal-Mart for the smallest size or just over $5.00 at Walgreens.

Free Photobook

2009-08-22T14:13:00.004-05:00

Use the code: SUMMERBOOK to get a free photobook from Shutterfly although you will have to pay shipping, but this book is originally $29 so it is a deal. This is an 8x8 hardcover with 20 pages. Offer expires 8/28.

Cheap Fish Fillets!

2009-08-20T00:36:00.001-05:00

Go to SmartSource for a $3.00 of any Van de Kamp's frozen fish products. It might only be offered by area, if it's not showing try my zip code: 76134. High value coupons aren't too common so print fast before it goes & print 2! I printed these about a month ago it won't allow me, but Monday I went to Wal-Mart & they have their 12 count 100% Breaded Fish Fillets for $3.98. So I got two boxes under $2 total.

StarKist Tuna...Free or CHEAP.

2009-08-19T15:52:00.000-05:00

Enter to win $500 or free tuna pouches at StarKist. Although you most likely won't win, you will be able to print a .50 coupon, which can be printed twice by pressing back. This should be free as it doubles to $1 at Kroger this week.

Walgreens & CHEAP wipes!

2009-08-19T15:28:00.000-05:00

I just got back from Walgreens & bought the following to the the left. I spent .96 on 3 Huggies 72 count wipes. These cost $2.79 at Walgreens, but with a $2 off Walgreens coupon which can be found in the front of the store next to the weekly ad, they're in a booklet labeled back to school. I also had 3 $.50 coupons from previous Sunday papers to be combined. There was one in this past sunday's paper that I overlooked, so I will go back for 2 more boxes. This is such a savings and my sister is lucky I won't use this for my personal use, but give it to her for my future nephew. Even if you don't have any manufacturer coupons, .79 each isn't bad. You don't even have to clip 3 coupons if you want to buy 3, just get one and $2 should be taken off all 3. Don't let the back of this coupon confuse you, there is a typo & it says $1 off. So I saved a total of $7.50!
I actually meant to get these free, but this Walgreens was out of the items I wanted to "purchase" for my Register Rewards. The items would of been free, too while earning me $1 Register Reward for free wipes. Oh well! I didn't feel like running around too many Walgreens since I hate to drag people from store to store.

Actually I lied, I spent $1.21 total there, but .25 was for 25 digital prints. Walgreens usually has free or cheap photo deals and this week especially. Tomorrow will be 20 prints FREE! Tuesday was my favorite with a free 11x14 poster :)

Tom Thumb/Safeway 8/19-8/25

2009-08-19T03:06:00.000-05:00

Tom Thumb is also Safeway in a different region of the U.S. So this is for Tina in California =)
You might want to check out the online weekly specials yourself, since I only put down what I thought were the best bargains.

While you're at Tom Thumb, they're having a Friday, Saturday & Sunday sale:

Grapes for .87 a lb

Get selected Lay's chips for $1.77

Combination of 1 liter Pepsi or Lipton drink with a bag of Fritos or Cheetos for $1.50

Pringles for $1.25

Pepperidge Farm cookies for $1 when you print the $1 coupon from coupons.com site, print 2 if you like.

24 pack of Nestle water 2.99 with the .50 coupon from last Sunday's paper.

Cheap to possibly free bacon.

2009-08-19T01:38:00.000-05:00

Go to Smithfeilds website and register with them, click sign up towards the top of the page. Afterwards you will be directed to a coupon page and be able to print a $3 off bacon coupon. Press back to print 1 more. This gets a little complicated with coupon policies in different grocery stores. I saw this bacon on sale for $3 at Tom Thumb, but forgot they won't let you use coupons for more than 50% of the items value. Super 1 Foods has $2.77, but they won't take internet coupons for more than $1. The best thing is to use this at Kroger, which can be combined with a .75 e-coupon at the soft coin website.

Go to Target this week to get cheap deodorant. It's Dove Ultimate Visibly Smooth that is $3.29 and will be .29 after coupons. Target lets you combine their store coupons with manufacturer coupons. You will need to print these two:

$2/1 Dove Visibly Smooth Deordorant coupon

Print both twice for 2, but buy in separate transactions.

2009-06-03T19:13:00.000-05:00

I'm using this blog to follow others who share their wonderful 411 on the latest deals, sales and freebies!

I recently decided to save even more money and did a little research on how to do so. It's been fun saving, I'm having fun leaving the grocery store knowing I got more than my moneys worth. Like last night I got $35 worth of groceries and paid $6. Oh yeaaah!
