Really Cheap Sausages At Winco

I have mentioned this deal in the past but I was just able to purchase some Jimmy Deans coupons to get some almost free sausages at Winco. Here's the deal:

Jimmy Dean Fully Cooked 8 count Sausages $1.38
use $1.50/1 any Jimmy Dean Fully Cooked Product ( Idaho did not get)
final: $.12 overage (the Meridian store gives overage YMMV anywhere else)

I went here to Coupon Dede and bought 20 coupons. They were $.15 each with a minimum order of $3.00 and shipping was $.94 (essentially I spent $3.94 for 20) . But I figured that since I was getting overage on each package then the price of each box will be around $.08 plus tax. I have used Coupon Dede before and have never had a problem. The coupon is only good until 3/6 so you will need to order some soon to get in on this deal. We love to have these around for quick week night dinners.

Albertson's Preview 2/16

I had surgery on Friday so I have really been out of the couponing track for a bit. I have been really loopy with medication that I've been on and let's just say that blogging would have been incomprehensible. My family has been really wonderful through it though, especially my dear husband. He even went coupon shopping and did Albertson's doubles for me yesterday. (Yea he's that amazing). I am really looking forward to getting back to regular life. I was hoping that the Albertson's preview would prove to be full of great deals but after looking at it I am pretty disappointed. I guess it just gives me more time to recover.

Go here to Pinching Your Pennies to see the Albertson's preview for this week. I haven't heard anything about doubles this weekend. I can only hope they will have them or I won't be shopping at Albertson's this week.

$2.00 Resteraunts.com Certificates

Recently a friend of mine told me of her love for Resteraunts.com. There is a local restaurant that she absolutely loves but it is so expensive. In order to afford it she buy gift certificates from Restaurants.com. Normally there is a minimal purchase requirement to use the coupon but it still is a great deal. I have been told that she has spent as little as $12.00 for a fancy dinner for two and they even had dessert. I have never tried it before but I may have to with this deal.

Right now you can grab a $25.00 gift certificate for only $2.00 by using the promo code LOVE at checkout. Valid til February 14th.

I am going to have to snag one and take my honey on an inexpensive Valentines date.

Cheap Candy At Walgreens

My friend Janiel alerted me to this deal and ever since I have been craving chocolate. I may have to try and get some tomorrow since my kids and I are home today with pink eye and we should be non-contagious then. Thank goodness because my kids are driving me nuts being home.

Hershey's Candy (Pieces or Drops - see page 2 of ad) 2/$3 with the Walgreens IVC coupon
use $2/2 coupon in the SS insert from 1/30/11
final: $0.50/bag!

Janiel said, "To me, that seems like a great price considering those bags are almost the same size as the medium-sized M&M bags. (Granted, M&Ms taste better, but hey, can't be too choosy, right?)" I couldn't agree more!

Thanks Janiel your awesome.

Free Travel Size Clorox Wipes at Albertson's

There is a great new $1.00/1 Clorox wipes Facebook coupon with no size restrictions. And you know what that means free wipes. Right now at Albertson's you can get this deal:

Clorox Wipes Travel Size 2/$1.00 (I saw them in bins all over the Fairview store in Meridian)
use $1.00/1 from here (Facebook coupon that requires you like them to print it)
final: free

I am thinking that they will either adjust the coupon or require you to buy two wipes. It will depend on the store I think.

Albertson's Preview 1/9

Pinching Your Pennies has the preview for this next week's Albertson's sale up here. There are some great deals on Conagra products but unfortunately the good coupons did not come to our area. There are some on Ebay but none of the coupon clipping sites that I know of have any of the high value coupons left. If you are wanting to get some coupons I would do so now in order to get them in time.

Cheap Chocolate Milk at Walmart

Starting today you can score a half gallon of Viva Chocolate milk at Walmart for only $.58. I rarely buy premaid chocolate milk but the boys (big and little) in my house love it. That's why I am so excited about this deal:

Viva Chocolate Milk $1.58 (til 1/10)
use $1.00/1 half gallon or larger Viva chocolate milk from 1/9 SS (expired 1/5)
final: $.58

This is one deal that I will have to go grab this week.

Albertson's Preview

The Albertson's preview for the sale starting on Wednesday is up here on Pinching Your Pennies. There are 3 Twice the Value coupons in the ad so there should be some great deals to be had. I may have to go tomorrow to get in on the popcorn deal they have. We are all out of microwave popcorn and it is one of my favorite things.

Walmart Price and Coupon Matching Idea

I was at Walmart today and took advantage of their price matching and coupon policy. I was able to get 205.00 worth of stuff for only $27.00 plus tax (I have been sick so I just put away my groceries without taking a picture). Lets just say that I am now stocked up on Maxi Pads for a really long time. Here's an idea of a great way to get over $30.00 worth of products for just the tax.

Buy 4 Stayfree Maxi Pads $24.00 (if you purchase the ones that cost $6.00 each)
$10.00 worth of home related merchandise
Total: $34.00
Price match Rite Aid ad for Stayfree BOGO sale (it makes two for free)
use 2-Stay BOGO coupons from 1/2 SS
use $10.00/$30.00 World Market coupon from Sunday flyer (my Walmart will not let me use this on groceries)
Final: Just Pay Tax

Here's another idea but you will have to do it soon as the one of the coupons expires today:

Buy 4 Olay 2-pack bar soap $9.92 ($2.48 each)
Buy 4 Secret Deoderants $9.52 ($2.38 each)
2 Butterfinger Snackers around $.59 each
$10.00 worth of home merchandise
Total: $30.44
Price match Walgreens coupon for Snackers $.39 each
use $1.00/2 Snackers coupon from here
use 4- $2.00/1 Olay bar soap from 12/26 PG (this expires today 1/31)
use 4- Buy one bar soap get 1 Secret deodorant up to $3.00 free from 1/30 PG
use $10.00/$30.00 World Market coupon from Sunday's Flyer
final: Just Pay tax

(Side note: there may be possible overage if your store gives you the full value of the Snackers coupon so you may need a filler).

One of my favorite home items to buy using this coupon are these really high quality baking sheets. They are priced at $10.97 so only $.97 after the coupon. Attach some dollar store cookie cutters and you have a nice inexpensive gift.

I really love this new policy and hope that it will be around for awhile. I shop at the Overland store in Boise and know that the above scenarios will work there. Since it is Walmart your local store may not be very coupon friendly so YMMV. Good luck!

Sunday Coupon Preview 1/30

In this Sunday's paper there will be up to 5 coupon inserts in the paper. There is supposed to be 2 Redplum, 1 Smartsource, and a Proctor and Gamble. To see all the coupons that might be in your paper go here to Sunday Coupon Preview. My favorites include:

Redplum:
Jimmy Dean fully cooked product Save $1.50/1 (3/6)

Nestle Toll House refrigerated cookie dough Save $1/1 (2/14)

Redplum 2:
Keebler Crackers and/or Sunshine Cheez-it baked snack crackers 7.7oz or larger Save $1.00/2 (3/27)

Proctor and Gamble:
Save up to $29.99 Buy any ONE Vitality Rechargeable Toothbrush, Get any ONE Vitality Rechargeable Toothbrush FREE

Smartsource:
Colgate Save $1.00 any Toothpaste 4.0 oz+ (2/19)

Soft-soap Liquid Hand Soaps Save $1.00/2 8 oz+(2/19)

Drugstore Deals Starting 1/30

This next week is a hot one for shopping drug stores. I am definitely going to Rite Aid. There are so many freebies I am hoping that at least some of the stuff will be left. If not then I guess that Walmart will be getting my business. We shall see.

This is what is looking good to me at Rite Aid:

Stayfree Maxi pads Buy one get one free
use BOGO from 1/09 SS
final: 2 for Free

Afrin $5.99 get $4.00 +up reward
use $3.00/1 here
also use $2.00/1 Video Values coupon
total out of pocket $$.99
get back a $4.00 +up reward
final: $3.01 moneymaker

Eddy's Ice Cream $2.99 get $2.00 +up reward also part of the spend $15.00 get $5.00 +up reward

Deal idea:
Buy 6 Eddy's Ice cream
Use $2.00 off any purchase -Winter Reward from here
also use 3-$1.00 off any purchase Video value coupon from here
pay $12.94 out of pocket
Get back 6-$2.00 +ups for the ice cream and one $5.00 +up for spending $15.00
final: $4.06 moneymaker

The above scenario will only work if your Rite Aid is really stocked up well on ice cream. I am not getting my hopes up to high on getting in on this deal as most in my area don't anticipate how many shoppers they will have and are not prepared. I may take this ad and just get the ice cream for $.99 at Walmart. Still a great price.

Free Stayfree Maxi Pads At Rite Aid

Starting this next Sunday you can score Stayfree Maxi Pads for free. They have this sale this time every year and I always stock up. Here's the deal:

Stayfree Pads Any Count Buy One Get One Free
use Buy one Stayfree Pad Get One Free from 1/09 SS
final: 2 for free

I was not able to get any of these a few weeks ago when there was a small moneymaker on them. I am anticipating that the shelves will be cleared very quickly. I have heard you can place an order with Rite Aid but have yet to find one which will actually do it for me. I am just hoping that all the shelve clearer's got theirs in the last sale and that I can pick up a few. I just thought I would give everyone a head up in case you wanted to buy some coupons on Ebay, if you buy them soon you should receive them in time for the sale. Also remember to get a rain check if they are out. The coupons last for awhile (til 3/31/11 to be exact) so hopefully everyone will be able to get what they need with a rain check.

Albertson's Sale Preview Starting 1/25

Pinching Your Pennies has the Albertson's preview for this next weeks sale up here. I am unsure if there will be doubles this weekend but if there are then we could see free Ragu and Skippy. Even without they are still a pretty good price. This is what I am liking this week:

Ragu $1.50
use $1.00/2 manufactures in ad coupon
final: $1.00

Skippy $1.50
use $1.00/2 manufactures in ad coupon
final: $1.00

There is also a General Mills promo which would make cereal below $1.00 a box if we get doubles and a spotlight saving promo buy 5 bet $5.00 off but nothing in that look too great to me. So I guess the moral of the story is cross your fingers and hope really hard for doubles!

Sunday Coupon Preview 1/23

There will be two coupon inserts this Sunday 1/23. One will be a Smartsource and one will be a Red Plum. As always this is just a list of what coupons could be in your paper; what you will actually get and the value depends on what area you live in. My favorites are in red.

Free Football Jello Mold

Head over here to score a free football Jello mold which will be mailed to you (limit one per household). This is an offer through Coupons.com so once the word is out then it will be gone fast. I would recommend heading over there as soon as possible if you want one.

My kids love jello and especially jello that is shaped into something. Perhaps some sugar free Jello will distract them from wanting to eat all the leftover Christmas candy we have. A girl can dream right.

Thanks Southern Savers for this deal!

Cheap Chicken At Albertson's

If you need chicken this would be a great week to get it at Albertson's. Their boneless skinless chicken breast is on sale at the butcher block for $1.99 a lb. and there is a $2.00/$10.00 Albertson's brand product coupon in their new "Savings For A Better You" coupon booklet located in stores. Here's the deal:

Buy $10.00 worth of chicken (get it as close to $10.00 without going under as possible)
Roughly 5.1 lbs. = $10.14
use $2.00/$10.00 Albertson's brand purchase located in stores
final: $8.14 or only $1.60 which is a personal stock up price

I was at the Albertson's at the end of Meridian road on Fairview yesterday getting juice for my daughter and they had a lot of the booklets there (located in the front of the store in a display). I just want to remind everyone to be kind and share. Chicken deals come around a lot so there is no need to take all of the coupon books. Share the coupons please!

Drugstore Deals Next Week 1/23

My family is going out of town at the end of the week and I have been forced to do my planning really early this week. I made one stop to Rite Aid this week and only bought 1 thing because everything else was out of stock. However this leaves me with a problem that I have tons of +up rewards to use by the 29th so I have to use them up when we return from our trip. Hopefully they will still have stuff in stock still on Monday morning when I normally do my shopping. I have noticed lately that the shelves have been cleared faster than normal. It has been really frustrating to coupon shop in Idaho lately.

Go here to I heart rite aid to see Rite Aid matchups.

Go here to I heart wags to see the Walgreens matchups.

Albertson's Preview Starting 1/19

Pinching Your Pennies has the Albertson's preview up here. The sale starts tomarrow but I am not really impressed. There is a Quaker sale but no coupons really to go with it. If there are doubles we may be able to score a few things but mostly it is a bust for me. This best deal I see is this:

Buy 5 Save $3.00 Quaker Sale
Quaker Oatmeal $2.50/$1.90 after buying 5
use $1.00/1 from 1/2 RP (did not get locally)
final; $.90

Since we didn't get these coupons in our are then you will have to order them off of Ebay. If you order them today then they should hopefully get to you by the end of the sale. If they put out doublers on Sunday well then that changes things and this becomes a smoking deal. I however have not heard any rumors of doubles so we will just have to wait and see.


***Quaker Sale update***

There is a new catalina for Quaker starting Friday!

Quaker Oatmeal Catalina(any);
January 21-February 13

• Buy 3, Get $1 Catalina
• Buy 4, Get $2 Catalina
• Buy 5+, Get $3 Catalina

The catalina makes them 5 for $1.50 or $.30 each!

Thanks A Thrifty Mom!

If you have coupons for the oatmeal then this will be a smoking hot deal. Just remember not to shop until Friday as that is when the catalina will be starting. If only my family would eat the stuff.
