Buy One Get One Free Deals

Select General Mills Cereal
-I am not certain which cereals will be included in this sale, so I will just list all the General Mills coupons which are available right now.
-coupon for $0.75 off one box of Total cereal

Final Price: Will vary, but remember, when Walgreens has a Buy One Get One Free sale, you may use two coupons...one for the product you buy, and one for the product you get free!!

Purex Laundry Detergent
Final price: 2 for $5.99 (or $2.98 each)

In Ad Coupons
Remeber when you use a Walgreens in ad coupon...ALWAYS give the cashier your manufacturer's coupons FIRST and then the in ad coupons!!

Coupon to make Dawn $0.99
-use coupon for $0.25 off Dawn
-use coupon for $0.50 off Dawn
Final price: As low as $0.49

Coupon to make Select Mars Candy $0.39
-use coupon for Buy 2 Get 1 Free
Final price: $0.78 for 3 (or $0.26 each)
These are usually priced around $0.89 each. If you give the cashier your manufacturer's coupon BEFORE the in ad coupon, your deal will be even better.
This is the scenario that will most likely happen:
Buy 3 of the Select Mars Candy (they will each ring up at $0.89...for a total of $2.67). Give the cashier your coupon for buy 2 get 1 free...this will deduct $0.89 (takes your total down to $1.78). Finally, hand the cashier the in ad coupon...this will deduct $0.50 off EACH candy bar...so your total will now be $0.28 FOR ALL THREE CANDY BARS...or around $0.09 each!!!

A GIFT FOR YOU!!

IHOP--Kids Eat FREE!!

For the month of April IHOP is running a Kids Eat Free Promotion!!

I called the San Angelo store, and this is the information that I was given:

DETAILS:
· Kids Eat Free Monday Through Thursday from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m.
· Promotion runs from April 1 – April 30
· Families who dine in at IHOP will receive one free Kid’s Meal with each adult entree purchase.

We rarely go out to eat at a sit down restaurant as a family, but with kids eating free, it would probably be cheaper than a fast food restaurant...just skip the drinks and get water!! :)

A Swagbucks Birthday!!

My oldest son, Josh, is having a birthday at the beginning of next month, so my husband and I sat down last night to talk about what birthday presents we would buy him this year. We usually budget right around $50.00 for each of our kids' birthdays. About 6 months ago his Nintendo DS completely died, and we found out that it would cost quite a bit to fix it. He has been so good about not complaining about it, and sharing his brother's DS. We decided to go ahead and buy him a new one for his birthday...did I just say our birthday budget was $50.00 AND we were going to buy him a Nintendo DS in the same breath? Yes and yes. :) (and for those of you who know Josh, don't spill the secret :)

How, in the world are we doing this? SWAGBUCKS!! I know that I've mentioned it before, but I want you to know that it is a legitimate way to earn prizes/giftcards just by going about doing your normal Internet searches. I had earned enough Swagbucks to trade in for $60.00 in Amazon giftcards, so I was able to use that "FREE money" to help cut the cost of the DS...we paid around $55.00 for it.

For those of you interested in joining, just sign up below. You'll be given 30 Swagbucks just for joining. It takes 450 to trade in for 1 $5.00 Amazon gift card, but there are a lot of other prizes to trade in for as well!! It is completely free and SO easy to get started. If you sign up, don't forget to put the Swagbucks toolbar on your computer. Instead of typing in your normal web addresses, search for them through Swagbucks, and you'll start earning gift cards in NO TIME!!

Ore Ida Coupons

There are a couple of Ore Ida coupons that are available.

$1.00 off Ore Ida Hashbrowns

$1.00 off Ore Ida Steam n' Mash Potatoes

These are found at:

http://www.oreida.com/promotions-savings/default.aspx

It is rare to find a coupon of this value for these products, so I'd go ahead and print them out...usually these coupons are for $1.00 off of 2.

Target is currently running a promotion (through tomorrow) where if you buy 2 Ore Ida Frozen Potato products, you get a third one free. These coupons would work GREAT with this deal. I am not sure if the Target here in San Angelo carries these products, but if you are headed there anyway, you might want to stop and check it out. Remember that our Target will allow you to use a coupon, not only on the product you buy, but also the one you get free. I'm guessing the scenario would look something like this:

Buy 2 Ore Ida products (around $2.50)
Get 1 Free
-use 3 $1.00 coupons
Final price: $2.00 (or around $0.67 each)

Keep in mind, that I have not done this deal, so I am not exactly sure of the prices, or if Target even carries these. Even without this Target promotion, these are still GREAT coupons...so don't forget to print...and you should be able to print two of each coupon per computer!!

Thanks, Hip2Save

Free Snuggle Dryer Sheets

I have to admit that I was not able to do this deal today, but I thought I'd post it anyway so you guys can be prepared. :) This past Sunday there were coupons for $3.00 off Snuggle Fabric Softener (32 loads) or Dryer Sheets (70 count). Those are very high value coupons!! I was excited about the possibility of getting dryer sheets for around a dollar, until I found out about this great deal at Family Dollar!!

I will say that I have never shopped at Family Dollar, but I read on getcha-coup-on's Facebook page that Snuggle dryer sheets are $3.00 there, so with the $3.00 coupon they'd be FREE!! I thought it would be worth a trip. I drove over there, and they are SOLD OUT!! The cashier said that they should have some more in stock next Friday...so hold onto those coupons!! They did have Snuggle fabric softener (lavendar scented) for $3.75...so with coupon, $0.75!!

But wait, the deal is even better. Family Dollar has a coupon book with store coupons...and you can combine these store coupons with manufacturer's coupons to double up on savings (think Target coupon policy!) Inside this book is a $0.50 off Snuggle dryer sheets or fabric softener coupon. I'm not sure exactly how this scenario would work there, since I've never shopped there, but here's a couple guesses:

Buy Snuggle Fabric Softener: $3.75
-use $3.00 off Snuggle Coupon
-use $0.50 off Family Dollar Snuggle Coupon
Final price: $0.25!! (They had a large stock of this, so you could do this deal now if you wanted to.)

Buy Snuggle Dryer Sheets $3.00
-use $3.00 off Snuggle Coupon
-use $0.50 off Family Dollar Snuggle Coupon
Okay, here's where it gets tricky...1 of 2 things will happen...either they will tell you you can't use the Family Dollar coupon, since that would give you $0.50 overage, or they will accept both coupons and that extra $0.50 will go towards lowering the price of something else you are purchasing. If you are going in there JUST for the dryer sheets, I wouldn't even bother with the store coupon.

I will try to run by there next Friday and do this deal, so I'll let you know how it goes...so until then...HOLD ONTO THOSE COUPONS!!!

A Challenge

So it's the beginning of another month, and I've decided to really challenge myself to shop smart and make the most out of our grocery budget. To help me stick to this, I've decided that at the end of each week, I'll write exactly what I've spent and how much I've saved...I'm hoping to save at least 50% each week. My grocery budget includes all food, toiletries, medicines, cleaning supplies...basically anything that I buy throughout the week (minus gas, clothing, etc.)

Are you up for the challenge? Save those receipts and at the end of the week, add them up and see how much you can save. For those of you just starting out, start small. Challenge yourself to save at least $5-$10 a week. $5.00 a week doesn't sound like much, but in a year, you'll have saved $260!!

Each Wednesday in April I'll be posting my spending vs. saving for the week...I'd love to hear how you are doing as well!!

Thanks DealSeekingMom!!

A Couple More Coupons for this Week's Albertsons Sale!!

If you go to www.bettycrocker.com, you'll be able to print off a couple coupons that match up great with this week's Albertsons sale!!

-$0.40 off any one Betty Crocker Potatoes
Will make the price of these potatoes $0.19
(I know that I've mentioned this coupon being on www.coupons.com and www.smartsource.com, but one of the ways to really cut your grocery bill, is to STOCK UP when you find items at rock bottom prices...that way you won't have to pay full price for the item when you run out in a couple of weeks.)

-$0.40 off any one Betty Crocker Frosting
Will make the price of frosting $0.20

One thing to keep in mind. If you were to print off 5 of the Betty Crocker Potatoes coupons (2 from www.coupons.com, 2 from www.smartsource.com, and 1 from www.bettycrocker.com), and you tried to use all 5 these in one transaction...only 4 of them will double. Albertsons will only double/triple up to 4 of the exact same coupon per transaction, so you will need to make two different transactions to get the most out of these coupons!!

Digiorno Coupon!!

There's also a great coupon available for Digiorno pizza!! Most every Friday night, we have pizza and a movie, so I am excited about seeing such a high value pizza coupon!! You must become a fan of Digiorno on Facebook to print this coupon. The coupon is for $3.00 off any Digiorno pizza and breadsticks. I've never seen this at the store, so I'm not sure of the price...but $3.00 off is a GREAT coupon!! You will be able to print this coupon off twice!!

You might miss this coupon if you don't look carefully. On the main page of Digiorno's Facebook page you'll need to click the button that says, "Fool your friends and save $3." That will take you to a second page, scroll all the way down that page, and on the bottom right corner in small words it will say something like click here to get your $3 coupon. Click on that and your coupon should print!!

Once again, thanks www.addictedtosaving.com for this great deal!!

Stouffer's Coupons!

There are a couple of really high value coupons for Stouffer's meals. In order to get these coupons, you must become a fan of Stouffer's on Facebook. One coupon is for $1.50 off any one Stouffer’s Corner Bistro Toasted Sub Variety and the second coupon is for $2.50 off any one Stouffer’s family Size Entree! You can print each of these coupons twice.


Thanks, Liza and Addicted to Saving
She posts a lot of great deals!! Her website is www.addictedtosaving.com

New Coupons Available

It's the beginning of a new month, which means that coupons on www.coupons.com and www.smartsource.com have been reset!! There are new coupons on this site today!!

Remember the Betty Crocker Boxed Potatoes coupon that I mentioned in my Albertsons Match Up post...I said that it might not be available anymore, but if you had it, you'd be able to get potatoes for $0.19 a box. Well, that coupon has been reset on both www.coupons.com and www.smartsource.com. You should be able to print this coupon out twice from each site, and get 4 boxes of potatoes for less than $0.80!! Even if your family doesn't eat these, this is a great price and would be wonderful to donate to a family/church/food bank! Check out the coupons and see if there are any that would be worth printing off.

Another Great Coupon!! (Possibly Free 7 UP)

Was looking at one of the coupon sites that I go to quite a bit and found out about this great coupon!! It's a coupon for $1.00 off any 1 20 oz. bottle, 2 liter bottle, or 6 pack of 7 UP. Wal-Mart will put their 2 liter drinks on sale for $1.00 every few weeks, so you might want to hold on to this coupon until you can get some FREE drinks!! This is a bricks coupon, meaning that you can print it twice per computer...once it prints the first time, hit your back button a couple times and it should automatically reprint. It will say that the webpage has expired, but if you continue to hit the back button, it will reprint.

Go here to get the coupon:
http://bricks.coupons.com/Start.asp?bt=wi&tqnm=zc5nbyx78709297&o=62674&c=SU&p=poJm63MV

(Again, I'm sorry that this link won't let you directly click on it and take you to the coupon...you'll need to copy and paste it in the address bar... Hopefully I'm going to be able to have someone help me figure out this problem in the next few days :)

Thanks Liza and www.addictedtosaving.com for finding this great coupon!!

Free Birthday Goodies!!

I took Jacob to Burger King today, and he got a FREE Kid's Meal!! Not sure if a lot of you know about this, but different restaurants/stores will mail you coupons for FREE items for your birthday!! I've signed all of my kids up for these offers, and they think it is so special to be able to go out and get FREE treats!! There are a lot of businesses that do this, but we'll start off with just a few:

www.ClubBK.com If you sign your kids up, they will email you a coupon for a free Kid's Meal on their birthday!!

www.sonicdrivein.com Sign up for the Birthday Club, and they will email you coupons for free Wacky Packs on your kids' birthdays, and also coupons good towards different purchases throughout the year.

www.baskinrobbins.com Again, sign up for the Birthday Club, and they will email you coupons for a free scoop of ice cream on your birthday. This deal is good for grown ups too!! :)

That should get you started, I'll add a few more to this list when I have more time...off to pick the kids up from school!!

Two FREE Games at Target!!

Target is currently running a promotion where if you purchase select games costing $10.00 or more that you will get a free Monopoly or Scrabble card game. Two games for $10.00 isn't bad...but two games for FREE is even better. Here's how to do it...

Connect 4 is on price cut from $14.99 to $10.09 this week. If you buy this game, you will be able to get the Monopoly card game (regularly priced at $5.24) FREE!

www.playsaver.com has a lot of great toy/game coupons. Head on over there and print out two coupons:
1 coupon for $4.00 off any Connect 4 game
1 coupon for $5.00 off any Monopoly game (be careful that you don't print off the coupon for Electronic Monopoly, that one will NOT work in this deal)

www.target.com also has a great Target coupon for $3.00 off Hasbro Games (including Battleship, Connect 4, or Bop-It).
Remember you can stack a Target coupon with a manufacturer's coupon to sweeten your savings!!

So, buy 1 Connect 4 game (priced at $10.09), get one Monopoly card game free
-Use 1 $3 off Target coupon (for Hasbro games)
-Use 1 $4 off Connect 4 game coupon
-Use 1 $5 off Monopoly game coupon

You'll get both games free...and possibly a little overage. When you are checking out, make sure the cashier scans the Connect 4 game first, this will prompt the register to give you the Monopoly game free. If the cashier scans the Monopoly card game first, it might not ring up free.

If your family already owns these games, it is still a great idea to pick these up. Put them back for birthday or Christmas presents, donate them to a needy family, or save them for Toys for Tots!!

Coupon Booklet

I ran into Albertsons today and found a coupon book at their customer service desk with over $15 worth of coupons in it. I'm not sure if this is a new book, or if it is only available at Albertsons...usually books like this can be found at a variety of different grocery stores. I wanted to give you guys a heads up so you can be on the lookout for it.

Coupons inside are:
-$1.00 off any two Nature Valley Granola Bars
-$1.00 off any one bag of Nature Valley Granola Nut Clusters
-$1.00 off any one box of Fiber One 90 Calorie Chewy Bars
-$1.00 off any two bags of Chex Mix
-$1.00 off any two boxes of Betty Crocker Fruit snacks
-$1.00 off any Wanchai Ferry Frozen Entree
-$1.00 off any three Hamburger/Tuna/Chicken Helper
-$1.00 off any two Betty Crocker Potatoes

-$1.00 off any one Betty Crocker Warm Delights Bowls
-$1.00 off any Yoplait Frozen Smoothie

Be on the lookout for these...it is rare to find coupons for $1.00 of ONE box of cereal. The $1.00 off Betty Crocker Warm Delights Bowls would get you those FREE at Walgreens this week. Hope you are able to find these!!

Great Coupon!

I thought I had posted this earlier, but I was looking through my posts and I didn't see it...so either I am completely blind or else I'm losing it a bit :)

Anyway, this is an older deal, but for those of you who didn't do this when it first came out, it is still available.

If you go to www.contadina.com and register on their site...there IS a spot to check that you don't want email from them, so you don't have to worry about junk email...you'll be able to print out a coupon for $0.75 off any 3 Contadina products. After the coupon prints, if you hit the back key a couple of times, you will be able to print this coupon out a second time. (Note, it will say that the webpage has expired, but continue to hit the back button...it will automatically reprint).

8 oz. cans of Contadina Tomato Sauce are priced at $0.38 at Wal-Mart (at least the last time I checked). If you buy 3 cans and use one $0.75 off coupon, you'll end up paying $0.39...or $0.13 a can...a GREAT stock up price!!

Another Great Place to Find Coupons

By now you know that most of the coupons I use come from the newspaper, or various online sites. I realized that I forgot to mention another great place to find coupons. There's a magazine that is sold exclusively at Wal-Mart called all you. This magazine is stocked full of coupons!! It costs $2.99, but usually has over $50.00 worth of coupons in it...example, I just picked up April's issue, and on the cover it says that it has $81.55 worth of coupons inside.

Couple of great deals!

I ran by Target today and saw that they have their Campbells Cream of Mushroom Soup and Cream of Chicken Soup priced at $0.75. If you use the $1.00 off 2 coupon that I posted about earlier...you'll be able to get each can for $0.25!! You should be able to print off 2 of these coupons...so 4 cans for a dollar!!
If you didn't have a chance to print the coupons earlier, they are found at
www.campbellkitchen.com/coupon.aspx
(I'm not sure why my computer won't let you simply click on the link above)...you can either copy/paste it into your address bar, or handtype it...sorry! I am not good with computers at all!!

Another great deal is on dog food at Wal-Mart...In the San Antonio newspaper on Sunday were two coupons that will get you free dogfood!! One of the coupons is for a Free 5.5 oz can of Purina Mighty Dog Food(you don't have to purchase anything... ABSOLUTELY FREE!!) The second coupon is for $3.00 off any 5 5.5 oz cans of Purina Mighty Dog Food. These are priced at $0.57 at Wal-Mart...so if you use this coupon, you'll get 5 cans ABSOLUTELY FREE.
I sure hope you didn't throw these coupons away. We don't have a dog, but I went ahead and did this deal...got 36 cans of dog food for FREE!! We are going to be making a trip to the Animal Shelter to donate the food. If you don't have pets, think about buying this and donating it, either to the Animal Shelter, or to a family that has pets!!

Hope you are able to get some good deals!!
