FREE Gatti's Pizza

I was looking through the HEB and Albertsons ads for this week, and I came across an advertisement for Gatti's Pizza. They are running a special offer today only (July 7th)...Everyone eats FREE at Gatti's!! I called Gatti's to ask for a few more details about this, and the lady I talked to said that everyone eats COMPLETELY FREE from open to close today...don't have to pay for drinks, salad, pizza, dessert, etc. She said that the only thing you'd need money for was if you wanted to buy tokens. Since Gatti's is usually priced pretty high, we hardly ever go there. I'll be taking the kids there for lunch...probably won't buy any tokens, so we'll eat completely FREE!! Have I mentioned that I LOVE FREE!!

This ad is running in the San Angelo Value Central Flyer. For those of you who live in other cities, you might want to call your local Gatti's to see if they are participating!!

Coupon for Digiorno Pizza And Breadsticks

There's a new coupon available for $1.50 off Digiorno's Pizza and Breadsticks. I believe that these are priced around $5.50 at Wal-Mart. This is a fairly high value coupon for pizza. Go here if you are interested in printing this coupon. (To find it quickly, click on the Food category).

Price Check Your Items

Have you ever been checking out at a grocery store, and you realize that your items are ringing up at the wrong price? This has happened to me numerous times. I used to not even mention it to the cashier...I'd think that I must have read the wrong price, and I didn't want to cause any commotion while checking out. One day I was checking out at Wal-Mart, and the grapes that I was buying were ringing up at almost $5.00 a pound. I didn't say anything because I was too embarrassed, but I was kicking myself all the way home.

Since then I've changed my ways, I will politely tell them that I think the item is ringing up at the wrong price. The cashiers have always been very polite and quick to fix the price mistake. Just the other day I was checking out at Albertsons and the items I purchased were ringing up at the wrong price...I mentioned it to the cashier, and she called someone over to do a price check for me. I was right about the price, so she adjusted the price of the items down AND gave me one of the items FREE. She said that if something rings up wrong at the cash register that it is their policy to give you one of the items FREE and the other items at the correct price. So don't be afraid to speak up when you see something scanning wrong...be an empowered shopper!!

Albertsons--Get Paid $0.05 for Each Reuseable Bag

Did you know that you can get a $0.05 discount for each reuseable shopping bag that you use at Albertsons? You'll also find special offers printed on the bottom of your receipts every so often for FREE Albertsons shopping bags if you call and complete a short survey. These surveys usually take between two to three minutes. After you take the survey, they will give you a special code to write on the bottom of your receipt. You can then take this back into the store and get a FREE shopping bag. Not only is it FREE, but when you use it to shop you'll make money off of it...a VERY great deal!!

Shopping Trip

I ran to Albertsons, Walgreens, and CVS on Friday. I bought everything pictured below, and spent...



$0.99, and saved $54.19!! Oh, and I also received an additional $2.00 Register Reward from Walgreens.

I won't do a breakdown for you since the sales are already over, but still wanted to show you that it can be done!!

I was excited about all the FREE gum, because my husband easily goes through a pack a day. The Dentyne gum was priced at $1.00 at Albertsons, and there are coupons for $1.00 off Dentyne gum found in the 6/13 SmartSource insert. The gum was not an advertised sale price, so it might still be going on...wouldn't hurt to check the price the next time you are there!

Vocalpoint--Free Crystal Light

For those of you who signed up for the FREE Crystal Light Pure Fitness samples a few weeks ago, you should have already received your sample, or should be getting it any day now. (Note...this sample is no longer available). This sample came with three different mixes and also came with three coupons for $2.00 off Crystal Light Pure Fitness mixes. These mixes are priced at $1.97 at Wal-Mart, and are on sale for $1.99 at Albertsons (I checked the price at Albertsons on Saturday). That means that with the coupons you should be able to get three FREE boxes!! A GREAT DEAL, and my kids really like them too!!

I know it's been several days since I've posted any new deals. We had a busy 4th of July weekend...spent time at the lake with a lot of family members that came into town. It was great to get together with family that we haven't seen in several months, and our boys had a blast playing with cousins/aunts/uncles/grandparents. With all the fun that we had, I had little to no time to get on the computer to check out deals. Tomorrow I'll get the Albertsons and HEB ad matchups done for all of you and start searching for new coupons and deals.

Oh, I did make a run to CVS and Albertsons with some family this weekend...one a couponer, and one who hasn't used coupons before...so fun to be able to show people how to really make coupons work and to really start saving money!! Do you remember what it was like the first time you used a coupon to really save big...realizing you could get a product for just a few cents? Share your coupon knowledge with a friend or family member and help them learn how to start saving big as well!!
