Organize in Style Coupon Book



Go here to request the Organize in Style Coupon Book. This coupon book has over $35 of coupons from some great Proctor and Gamble brands...including Dawn, Swiffer, Mr. Clean, Febreze, and Cascade.

The last time I received this book, it had a coupon for $1.00 off Dawn Hand Renewal...which made for FREE Dawn at several different stores. I'd encourage you to sign up for this book; it's always great to get FREE coupons in the mail! :)

Thanks Saving with Shellie!

Coupon for Smart Balance



Go here to print several different coupons for Smart Balance products.

The last time I was at Albertsons, they had Smart Balance Milk (1/2 gallon) on sale for $2.50, so only $1.50 after $1.00 coupon. Not the best deal, but with milk prices on the rise this might be a decent deal...especially if you regularly use Smart Balance products.

Coupon--$0.50 off Old El Paso Products


There's a coupon available for $0.50 off any Old El Paso Product that can be found here. Note...you will need to register to print this coupon. The registration information is in Spanish, but I think it's pretty self explanatory. If I can figure it out, then you should be able to as well. :) The coupon will print in English and in Spanish.

Oh, and there's also a coupon for $0.60 off 2 Old El Paso products (found here) if you can't figure out the Spanish, or you don't want to register on the site.

Albertsons has select Old El Paso Refried Beans, Taco Shells, and Enchilada Sauce on sale for $1.00 this week...so FREE after coupon is doubled!!

I don't normally go to quite this many stores in one day, but I wanted to stay out of the house for awhile so my husband could get some rest.

All in all it was a pretty successful day:

Total Spent: $10.27

Total Saved: $148.34

Rewards Earned: $10.00 Extra Care Bucks, $8.00 Register Rewards, and $2.50 Mail in Rebate for Crunchy Nut Cereal

CVS--Inexpensive Almay Makeup

For the past several weeks, CVS has had a lot of their makeup on clearance...some as much as 75% off.

I ran by there today, and found quite a bit of their Almay makeup that was clearance priced.

There was a coupon for $2.00 off any Almay makeup in the 1/23 SmartSource insert. Using this coupon you should be able to get some very inexpensive makeup.

I noticed foundation, concealer, eye shadow, and powder that was marked down. Eye shadow was marked down to $2.07...so only $0.07 after coupon.

If you are in need of some makeup, it might be worth it for you to make a trip to CVS (with coupons in hand) to try to score some inexpensive makeup!

Albertsons--Update on Crest Toothpaste

Albertsons is running a promotion for $4.00 off your total when you buy 4 participating Proctor and Gamble products. One of the participating products is Crest Toothpaste. It is currently priced at $1.99, but if you buy 4 of them you will automatically save $4.00...taking the price of each tube of toothpaste down to $0.99 each.

There is a coupon for $1.00 off Crest Toothpaste found in the Proctor and Gamble insert, that I thought would get us FREE toothpaste. I ran to Albertsons today and noticed that the Crest toothpaste that is priced at $1.99 (BEFORE promotion) are excluded from the coupon...Cavity, Baking Soda, and Tartar.

Of course this means no FREE toothpaste at Albertsons this week, but you can bet that we'll be able to get FREE toothpaste at Walgreens or CVS very soon!
