Once again, please keep in mind that I am only writing about the BEST deals that I see, so please go through the ad and try to match up some of the deals with your own coupons...I might have overlooked something, or completely left something out that would work great for your family. Also, the coupons that I mention are for past issues of the newspaper, unless otherwise stated. Remember, Walgreens IS confusing when you first start shopping there...but if you hang in there, you'll get it and start saving BIG!! You need to watch your coupon to item ratio (all manufacturer's and register rewards count in your coupons...but Walgreens coupons (whether from the coupon book or the ad) do NOT count in this ratio!!)

Beautiful Spring Day!!
I usually try to post new coupons or deals at least a couple times a day, but today was just too beautiful to spend inside. We spent the morning at the lake fishing...well attempting to fish, no one caught anything. :) Then this afternoon we took the kids to my in laws' lake house and they spent the afternoon slip and sliding with cousins and swimming in the lake...I am so glad that it is warming up...I'm definitely a summer girl!! We are cleaning up real quick and then heading out to eat supper with family.
Hope all of you have had an amazingly beautiful spring day!! I will try to post some deals tonight, but it might have to wait until tomorrow afternoon depending on how tired I am when we get home tonight!! Enjoy your weekend and this BEAUTIFUL weather!!

Newspaper Reminder
Don't forget to stop by and pick up a newspaper tomorrow!! I always buy at least 2, but usually 4. If you are wanting to start couponing seriously, then I would suggest buying at least 2 newspapers...that way when there is a buy one get one sale at our stores, you'll be able to use a coupon for each item you purchase. Remember, all stores will allow this (except for HEB).

More Swagbucks!!
Just wanted to remind all of you who are already members of Swagbucks (or those of you are thinking about joining), that there is an additional way to earn Swagbucks EVERY DAY besides just doing the internet searches. You can do this once a day, and win anywhere from 2 to 3 Swagbucks (at least that is what I am always awarded...you might get lucky and win more :) Here's what you do:
1. Go to the Swagbucks homepage here.
2. Click on the “Ways to Earn” tab at the top of the homepage.
3. Then click on "Special Offers"
4. Click where it says “View our no obligation offers and WIN Swag Bucks”...there's a small blue box that says "Go Now" that you should click on.
5. Scroll to the bottom of each page that comes up and hit the "Skip" or "See Next Offer" button. I have NEVER signed up for one of these offers...never filled in any of the information at all...simply scroll to the bottom of each page and hit "Skip"
6. After about 3 or 4 pages of doing this you will be awarded your Swagbucks.
Remember that you can do this EVERY DAY!! I'll try to remember and repost this a few times a week so you can get used to the idea of doing this and WINNING more Swagbucks!!
If you haven't signed up and you are interested click on the banner below (Remember that it is COMPLETELY free to join and you are never expected to sign up for anything!!)

MEGA SWAGBUCKS FRIDAY!!!
Just wanted to remind all of you who are signed up for Swagbucks that every Friday you have extra chances to win HIGH value Swagbucks just by searching the internet!! Earlier this morning I searched one of my friends's websites and earned 19 Swagbucks, and I just now checked Facebook and received another 30 Swagbucks...49 Swagbucks...WOOHOO!! I'm well on my way to earning enough for another Amazon gift card!!
For those of you who still haven't signed up for Swagbucks, I would really encourage you to do it!! You can earn prizes and gift cards JUST by going to internet sites that you always go to. I joined Swagbucks at the end of December, and since joining I have earned $60.00 in Amazon gift cards.
What is Swagbucks?
Swagbucks is a search engine (like google, yahoo, ask.com), except when you use the Swagbucks search engine, you have the opportunity to earn Swagbucks. You can then trade in the Swagbucks that you earn for different prizes...electronics, music, but my favorite is gift cards. The gift cards that I earn are going into my Amazon account, and I'm saving them up to help with Christmas this next year. I am hoping by then to have at least $100. Not a whole lot, but it is free money and it will definitely help stretch our Christmas budget.
I've had people tell me that they don't ever search online, so it won't work for them. Before I joined Swagbucks, I didn't search either. When I joined, I put the Swagbucks toolbar on my Internet Explorer toolbar. Now instead of typing in the web address where I used to, I simply "search" it through the Swagbucks search engine. Example, instead of typing in www.facebook.com, I simply search facebook through Swagbucks. No real difference, but when I do it this way I have the chance to earn Swagbucks.
I was very skeptical of this when I first started, so I didn't want to tell anyone about it. After doing it for 3 months, I am amazed at the fact that I am essentially earning free money just by going to different websites. I've told several family members and friends about this, and they are now earning Swagbucks too.
Swagbucks does offer more points if you sign up for different programs through them, but I have never done any of that. The Swagbucks that I've earned have come from simply searching the Internet. I thought some of you could benefit from "free money" too. It takes several days to get the hang of it, but if you are interested in trying it, simply click on the banner below to get started.

Example, instead of typing in www.facebook.com, I simply search facebook through Swagbucks. No real difference, but when I do it this way I have the chance to earn Swagbucks.
I was very skeptical of this when I first started, so I didn't want to tell anyone about it. After doing it for 3 months, I am amazed at the fact that I am essentially earning free money just by going to different websites. I've told several family members and friends about this, and they are now earning Swagbucks too.
Swagbucks does offer more points if you sign up for different programs through them, but I have never done any of that. The Swagbucks that I've earned have come from simply searching the Internet. I thought some of you could benefit from "free money" too. It takes several days to get the hang of it, but if you are interested in trying it, simply click on the banner below to get started.

Target Trip (April 8)
I ran into Target today because we REALLY needed some water. (Those of you who live in San Angelo know that if you don't have a good water filter system in your house, then this is a NECESSITY!!) I was just planning on buying a couple of gallons of water and leaving, but after walking through the store, I realized that I could buy more products and spend less than if I just bought the water. I bought everything pictured below, and spent...
$1.67!!! The water alone would have cost me $3.27 before coupons!!
Here's how I did it:
3 gallons of Ozarka spring water $1.09 each
-minus coupon for buy 2 gallons get one free (found in newspaper)
Final price: $2.18
4 Stouffer's Corner Bistro sandwiches on sale for $2.28 each
-minus 4 coupons for $1.50 off Stouffer's Corner Bistro found here (you will need two computers to print 4 coupons)
Final price: $3.12
6 Johnson's Body Care Lotion $0.97 each
-minus 6 coupons for $1.00 off Johnson's Body Care products (found in newspaper)
Final price: FREE (plus $0.18 overage)
1 Clean and Clear Face product ($0.97)
-minus 1 coupon for $1.00 off Clean and Clear product (found in newspaper)
Final price: FREE (plus $0.03 overage)
2 GE lightbulbs (clearance for $1.29)
-minus 2 coupons for $1.00 off GE lightbulbs found here
-AND minus 2 coupons for $2.00 off GE lightbulbs found here
Final price: FREE (plus $3.42 overage!!)
1 bag of Sunchips (on sale for $3.00)
-minus 1 coupon for a FREE bag of Sunchips (mailed to me after becoming a fan of Sunchips on Facebook!)
Final price: FREE
I spent $1.67 on everything and the bottom of my receipt says that I saved $34.46...that's a savings of over 95%!!!

Be on the Lookout for Easter Clearance
Just want to remind you that you need to be on the lookout for GREAT Easter Clearance!! Stock up for Easter next year, birthday parties, or just extra goodies for your family.
Try to think outside the box when going through clearance...a lot of stores will have plates/cups/napkins/table cloths marked WAY down just because they are pastel Easter colors...would work great for a little girl's birthday or baby shower. Keep your options open and don't feel like just because you bought something that was originally intended for Easter that you can't use it for other things.
Right before I got married, my sister gave me a HUGE box filled with all sorts of goodies...Christmas ornaments, decorations, Easter placemats, etc...all things that she had bought on clearance, but things that a newly married couple wouldn't have purchased yet...so think about those wedding showers you might be going to. Stock up throughout the year. You'll be surprised at how much you can find for pennies!!
That being said, I know that CVS and Walgreens have their Easter items on clearance for 50% off right now. Target has Easter decorations on sale for 75% off and candy on sale for 50% off. I haven't run by Wal-Mart, but I'm guessing that it's the same there. Sam's also has their Easter items on sale for 50% off...the clearance at Sam's is back behind the freezer section. I bought a couple of 56 ounce bags of M&Ms for $4.91...to keep it in perspective...I saw a 23 oz. bag of M&Ms on sale for $5.99...so twice the size and a dollar cheaper at Sams. What's different about Easter M&Ms? They have Easter packaging and they are pastel colors...tastes the same. :)
Hope you guys are able to find some good deals to put back for another day!!

Couple of GREAT Coupons!!
I know that I've mentioned these coupons before, but I wanted all of you to know that they have RESET...that means that you can print them out again!! All of these coupons can be printed out twice.
Coupon for $1.00 off any 1 20 oz bottle, 2 liter bottle, or 6 pack of 7 UP found

AMAZING Albertsons News!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ever since I started using coupons to shop at Albertsons I've received conflicting answers to questions..."Can you use manufacturer's coupons with in ad coupons?" "Can you use 2 coupons for buy one get one free sales?" I'd be told one thing by one cashier, and another answer by someone else. I truly believe that as a coupon shopper we MUST be educated about coupons and how they work at specific stores. I decided to email corporate Albertsons and get a definite answer about their coupon policy. The coupon policy that I received was a lot different than what I had been told at the store, so I decided to take the policy up to the store today and ask the manager about it. I talked to Elaine...she was so very friendly and seemed like she genuinely wanted to help. She told me she was off duty, but still took about 15 minutes to go over the coupon policy that she had vs. the one that was mailed to me by corporate. She changed their coupon policy to include the things that corporate had...and believe me, the changes are GREAT!! Below are some of the things Elaine and I discussed...
-Albertsons will double coupons up to and including $0.50
-Albertsons will triple coupons up to and including $0.39
-Albertsons will only double/triple 4 of the exact same coupons in one transaction
-Albertsons will only accept 75 coupons per customer per day
-Albertsons will accept internet coupons
-Albertsons will accept internet coupons that say Buy x get y FREE
-Albertsons will NOT accept internet coupons that say GET X FREE (with no other purchase required).
-Albertsons will NOT accept an internet coupon if the value exceeds $2.00
-Albertsons will accept TWO coupons in a buy one get one free sale
-Albertsons will allow you to use an in store coupon with a manufacturer's coupon (as long as the in ad coupon does not state that it is a manufacturer's coupon)
And the best thing by far...THIS WAS IN THE CORPORATE POLICY AND ELAINE TOLD ME THAT SHE WOULD HONOR IT...ARE YOU READY?
-Albertsons will accept one COMPETITOR COUPON for dollars off per transaction!
What exactly does that mean? That means that you can use those register rewards from Walgreens or those Extra Care Bucks from CVS as a coupon to lower your out of pocket expense from Albertsons!! You may only use one of these per transaction...so can't hand the cashier 5 different register rewards...but if you think about it, most register rewards and extra care bucks are for $2 to $4, so that's extra money to lower your grocery bill...great to lower the cost of meats, produce, milk, etc.
While I was there, Elaine made a copy of the corporate coupon policy that I brought in and talked to several of the workers there...she told me if I went through the checkout line and had any problems, to let them know that Elaine had approved it!!
Thanks so much Elaine...us couponers GREATLY appreciate managers/stores that make it easy for us to save!!!
This will definitely make it a lot easier to save BIG at Albertsons!! I say start shopping and saving!!

Stouffer's Coupon and Target Deal
Did you print off the Stouffer's coupon after becoming a fan of Stouffer's on Facebook? If not go here to print it. There are two coupons available;
-$1.50 off any Stouffer's Corner Bistro Toasted Sub
-$2.50 off any Stouffer's Family Size Entree
(Remember, you should be able to print each of these coupons off twice.)
I ran into Target today and saw that they have the Corner Bistro Subs on sale for $2.36...so with the $1.50 coupon, only $0.86. I've never tried these, but they look really good. They would be great to have on hand for quick lunches, or for suppers on those nights when schedules are crazy. You definitely can't grab a sandwich or burger at a fast food restaurant for $0.86. I'll probably be picking up a couple of these the next time I run into Target!!

CVS Trip (April 4)
I just got back from a quick trip to CVS. Remember my goal is to spend less than $5.00 when I go there. I bought everything pictured below, and spent...
$4.35. Here's how I did it:
I started out with a coupon from CVS for $5.00 off any $25.00 purchase. (CVS will periodically email coupons to you, so make sure you open up these emails and don't just delete them). In order to use this coupon, I had to get my total up to $25.00 BEFORE coupons. I bought:
2 bottles of Pantene shampoo (Normally $4.99...on sale for $2.99)
-minus coupon for $3.00 off Pantene shampoo when you buy 2
Final price: $2.98
2 bottles of Head and Shoulders Shampoo and Conditioner (Normally $5.99...on sale for $4.99)
-minus coupon for $1.00 off one bottle
-minus coupon for Buy Head and Shoulders Shampoo, get Conditioner FREE
Final price: $3.99
2 boxes of Tampax Pearl Tampons (36 ct. box--normally priced at $8.49...on sale for $7.99; 18 ct. box--priced at $5.19)
-minus coupon for $2.00 off any Tampax Pearl Tampons
-minus coupon for Buy one Tampax 36 ct. box, get one 18 ct. box FREE)
Final price: $5.99
PLUS I used the $5.00 off $25.00 coupon AND $4.00 in Extra Care Bucks that I had left over from last week.
I ended up spending $4.35 and saved $31.68!! PLUS I left with $7.00 in ECBs!!

"This is how God showed his love for us: God sent his only Son into the world so we might live through him. This is the kind of love we are talking about--not that we once upon a time loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to clear away our sins and the damage they've done to our relationship with God."
1 John 4:9-10 (The Message translation)
