There are several great new coupons available on coupons.com! I suggest that you head over there to check out all of the new coupons.
The coupons that I am most excited about are:
$2.00 off Hidden Vally Farm House Originals
(I believe these are priced around $2.50 at Wal-Mart)
$0.75 off any Muir Glen Product
(Small cans of Tomato Paste are priced around $1.00, so around $0.25 after coupon)
$0.75 off General Mills Cheerios (select varieties)
(Albertsons has these priced at 3 for $5.00 quite regularly, so only $0.92 after coupon. I'd encourage you to print this out and HOLD for a sale!)
$0.50 off ONE box of Nature Valley Granola Bars
(Usually you'll find these coupons for $0.50 off TWO. At Albertsons this will be doubled, so $1.00 off ONE box. If they have these on sale again, we should be able to get a GREAT deal!)
Buy one Get one FREE Edge Shave Gel
(Walgreens and CVS will often run special promotions on shave gels/razors.)
$3.00 off TWO Right Guard Total Defense 5
(This coupon usually gets us FREE or VERY INEXPENSIVE deodorant when combined with the right sale!)
$1.00 off Reach Floss
(FREE FLOSS!! Wal-Mart and Target have Reach Floss priced at $0.97 all the time. CVS and Walgreens often put these on sale for $0.99!)
These are the coupons that I am most excited about seeing. Make sure to check out the new coupons on Coupons.com and leave a comment if you see any GREAT coupons that I might have overlooked!

Wal-Mart Trip (September 30)
I ran to Wal-Mart today because I wanted to see how easy it was to price match all of the items from the Lowe's ad...I have price matched many times before, but not in the last couple of months. I wanted to make sure that it was as easy as I remembered it being so that I could report back to all of you. I bought everything pictured below and spent...
$9.25. I had absolutely ZERO problems price matching the items. I made sure to go during a time when I knew it wouldn't be too busy. When I got to the checkout, I told the cashier that I would be price matching. I made sure to give her all the items that I would be price matching together (being organized makes everything go so much more smoothly). I told her the price it was at Lowe's and made sure to tell her I had the Lowe's ad if she wanted to verifty the prices. I think that price matching might have added 1 or 2 minutes onto the check out process. It went really smoothly, and the cashier was very friendly about it.
I bought:
7 Ultra Downy Balls $1.37
-used 7 coupons for $1.50 off any Ultra Downy product (expired today)
Final Price: Free (plus $0.91 overage)
15 cans of Great Value Vegetables $0.64
-price matched Lowe's ad to get each can down to $0.39
Final Price: $5.85
6 cans of Great Value Cream of Mushroom Soup (I forgot to check Wal-Mart's price)
-price matched Lowe's ad to get them down to 3 for $1.00
Final Price: $2.00
2 small bags of Planter's Honey Roasted Peanuts $0.48 (found at checkout)
-used 2 coupons for $1.00 off any Planters product
Final Price: FREE (plus $1.04 overage)
2 bags of Earthbound Farm Organic Carrots $0.88
-used 2 coupons for $0.75 off Earthbound Farm product
Final Price: $0.26
3 Green Bell Peppers $0.64 each
-price matched Lowe's ad to get them down to 3 for $1.00
Final Price: $1.00
Grapes $0.89/lb.
Final Price: $2.09
Not a GREAT trip to Wal-Mart, but my stockpile of canned vegetables has been running low for a couple of weeks. $0.39 isn't the best price, but it sure beats paying full price!! Also, it is usually pretty difficult to find really great deals on produce, so I was really happy with the prices that I was able to find!
If you've never price matched at Wal-Mart, I just want to reassure you that it really is super easy. Also wanted to say that I really don't know anything at all about Lowe's Grocery Store. I have never been inside it...only because it's across town from where I live and usually shop. If you shop at Lowe's leave a comment letting us know of any deals that we are missing out on...I might need to make a trip over there.

Several ShoppingTrips
I realized that I had several pictures from some of my most recent shopping trips that I forgot to post about, so I am going to put them all together in this one post. These are from several different stores. I did these trips earlier in the week. I bought everything pictured below, and spent...
$17.50, and saved $145.40. (Seriously, I can't believe that before coupons/sale promotions that the items I purchased would cost over $150...no wonder our grocery budget was going through the roof before I started seriously using coupons!) After these trips, I still have $2.00 in Register Rewards (from Walgreens), $5.00 in Extra Care Bucks (from CVS), $10.00 in Catalina Coupons from HEB, and $9.00 in Catalina Coupons (each good for $1.50 off any HEB Brand item)...$26.00 in "store cash" that I can use on my next trip to the stores.
Items I purchased include:
5 Ziploc Reusable Containers
5 Chex Mix
12 Mac and Cheese Cheddar Explosion
12 Gain Dish Soap
2 Dawn Hand Renewal Dish Soap
1 Tuna Fish
3 Pantene Beautiful Lengths Shampoo
3 Pantene Beautiful Lengths Conditioner
2 Ragu Pasta Sauce
2 Butterball Chicken Broth
1 Hunt's Tomato Sauce
1 Protein Bar
16 Tide Detergent (Travel Size)
20 Bisquick packets
20 Yoplait Yogurt Cups
4 Smart Balance Milk

Lowe's Ad (September 29 - October 5)
There are several good deals at Lowe's Grocery Store this week.

Whether you shop at Lowe's or are interested in price matching, you should be able to find some GREAT deals...with NO coupons!!
The best deals that I see are for Lowe's store brand items. At Wal-Mart you may price match a store brand from another store with Wal-Mart's own store brand (Great Value).

If you decide to price match at Wal-Mart, you will need to take the Lowe's ad with you to the store. Be sure to tell the cashier that you will be price matching some items BEFORE he/she starts scanning your items.
