I was looking through the new Wal-Mart ad and found a GREAT deal!!
Wal-Mart has Scrubbing Bubbles One Step Toilet Bowl Cleaner System on sale for $3.97. This is an awesome price by itself...it is normally priced at $9.47. There was a coupon for $4.00 off any Scrubbing Bubbles One Step Toilet Cleaner Starter Kit in the 9/11 SmartSource insert...making it FREE!!
I picked one up today. When I opened the box up there was a paper with two more $3.00 coupons inside...making an additional kit just $0.97. A GREAT deal!!
I picked mine up at the Wal-Mart on Sherwood Way. They were not on the shelves with the normal Scrubbing Bubbles Cleaners, but were on a display shelf in between the cleaners and pet food. There was a large supply of them there when I was there this afternoon, so you might want to head over there if you have any coupons.
Please remember that as couponers, you need to leave product on the shelves for others. It's never a good idea to clear shelves or hoard items.

Weekly NEEDS Shopping Trip
I forgot to take a picture of my trip, so I'll just be listing what I purchased.
Milk (2 gallons)
4 loaves of Nature's Own Honey Wheat Bread
3 Green Bell Peppers (3 for $1.00)
Broccoli ($0.99/lb.)
Gala Apples ($0.99/lb.)
10 Kiwi (5 for $1.00)
10 lbs. Russet Potatoes
Bananas ($0.48/lb.)
Bartlett Pears ($0.77/lb.)
I was able to purchase everything for right around $13.00.
I will spend the remainder of our weekly grocery budget stocking up on items that are on sale. I am hoping for some GREAT sales when the new Albertsons and HEB ads come out tomorrow. If I don't see a lot of good sale items then I will save the remainder of my weekly budget to use later in the month.

FREE Old Spice Body Wash
There was a coupon in yesterday's Proctor and Gamble insert for $1.00 off any one Old Spice Product (1.7 oz. or larger). Did you know that the 1.7 oz. container is travel size?
The last time I looked for this product, I found it at Wal-Mart for $0.97...so FREE after coupon!
I haven't looked, but I wouldn't be surprised if you could find this at HEB and Target as well.

Stripes--FREE Breakfast Taco
It's Monday and that means another great FREEBIE from Stripes. Go here and "like" Stripes on Facebook. After you like them you'll need to click on It's Go Time and you'll then be able to print your coupon.
The coupon this week is for a FREE breakfast taco.
Meal Plan (October--Week 1)
I cannot believe that it is already October. It seems like the weeks are just flying by. Before you know it Christmas will be here...and hopefully cooler temperatures.
I really encourage you to sit down and make a meal plan each week for your family. Take stock of your refrigerator, freezer, and pantry. When you are making your meal plan, use items that you already have on hand to create your meal plan. This will allow you to spend less on NEEDS at the grocery store and also avoid wasting perishable food items. I try to make two trips to the grocery store each week. The first trip is for all the items that my family NEEDS for the week, and the second trip I focus on stocking up on items that are at their rock bottom prices. This allows me to keep a well stocked pantry and to feed my family well balanced meals.
I know that it is already the 3rd of the month, but I'm going to go ahead and include the meal plan for the past couple of days.
MEAL PLAN:
October 1:
Eat with in laws
October 2:
Leftovers, Sandwiches
October 3:
Spaghetti with Meatballs, Salad
October 4:
Function at Kids' School (meal provided)
October 5:
Leftovers, Sandwiches
October 6:
BBQ meal provided for husband's work
October 7:
Pork Tenderloin, Baked Potatoes, Steamed Veggies
Not much cooking will be going on this week, but I am NOT complaining about that. :)
Needs for the week are:
Milk
Potatoes
Fresh Fruit
Salad
How are you doing? Are you noticing a difference in the number of items you actually NEED each week?

HEB--Cover Girl Coupon Stack
Can you believe the high value Cover Girl coupon that was in yesterday's Proctor and Gamble insert? A coupon for $8.00 off 2 Cover Girl Face Products is almost unheard of. This coupon should get us free, or close to free, products at several different stores.
I was at HEB today and I noticed that there were HEB "B" coupons for $1.25 off Cover Girl products that can be stacked with the $8.00 off 2 manufacturer's coupon. This will DEFINITELY get you free cosmetics.
The HEB coupon expires tomorrow, October 4th, so you don't have much time to get in on this deal.
I thought that most people would be running to Wal-Mart to use this coupon, so I thought I'd check HEB out first. HEB has a great supply of Cover Girl products, so you should have no problem finding a wide assortment of products.
Oh, I thought I should also address this...Cover Girl Face Products include concealer, foundation, powder, and blush...mascara, eye shadow, and lip products are NOT included in this. Please use the coupon in the way it was intended.
One more thing, the $8.00 coupon does beep at the register. I handed this coupon to the cashier first and he had to manually enter it. He checked the products to make sure I had purchased the correct items and had no problem entering in the coupon amount...just wanted to give any new couponers a heads up that this will probably beep at HEB.
