Back into CVSing

2009-10-12T12:34:00.000-07:00

I took a few months' break from shopping at CVS. I just got a little burned out with running everywhere for deals, and needed a break. Anyway, after checking my shampoo, soap, toothpaste stockpile, I found that I'm starting to run a little low. So, I'm back in the game.

Who's with me? Is there anyone out there who hasn't started shopping there yet? If you would like to start and have any questions, let me know. Or, if you already shop there, please share your deals!

Since I didn't take a picture of my stash from this week, I'll just outline what I found:

2 Palmolive Dish soaps
1 Tone Body Wash
1 Tone 2-pack bar soaps
1 Colgate Advanced whitening toothpaste
2 Snickers candy bars
1 6-pack boxed raisins
1 Revlon nail polish

Total after coupons and 2 Extra Care Bucks I got for taking a survey: $8.60
ECB's to use for next time: $7!

I'll let you know next week how I've used those $7, and hopefully cycled them into more ECB's.

My Grocery Deals last week

2009-10-12T12:19:00.000-07:00

My first trip was to Kroger. I spent $46, and bought what's in the picture below. (My ballerina daughter insisted on posing with the groceries.)

There was a frozen foods buy 10 get $5 off deal (which is continuing this week, by the way). After coupons, the pizza, 2 ice creams, 5 veggie steamers, and 2 Texas Toast products cost me $11.50! I'll include the coupons that I used in the new Kroger deals post, as the deal is continuing this week.

The bumblebee tuna packet was free. They are normally priced at Kroger for .99, and there's a .50/1 coupon here which will double, and make it free!

I always check the "scratch and dent" cart to see if there's anything worth buying. Since it's generally the packaging and not the food that was harmed, I'm happy to buy it, pay less, and deal with a bent up box. (I don't usually buy the dented cans though- deep dents can cause puncturing of the can which will spoil the food.) This wee, I found the Kroger brand Rice Krispies for .99. The inside packaging was unharmed, and .99 for a box of cereal is a good price!

The Dole fruit in sugar-free gel was not on sale- it's priced at $2.19. I had a $1/1 coupon I found here and decided that $1.19 wasn't a bad price for snacks for the kids.

The apples were on sale for .99/lb, so I stocked up.

I also hit Winn Dixie for a few deals. As I spent $13.50 there, I did go over my grocery budget of $50/week, but justified it because I bought diapers, toilet paper and paper towels.

Anyway, here's what I found there:

The bread was BOGO at $2.99.
The sausage was $2.50, but I had a $1/1 coupon.
The bologna was $2.00 on sale
The peaches were .99/lb. Although we didn't need them, I couldn't resist.
The Smithfield sausage was $2.00 including my coupon.

Not GREAT deals, but not too bad.

Food Storage Friday

2009-09-25T11:08:00.000-07:00

This day marks the end of my 2 week laziness with my blog. I went grocery shopping on Monday, and was able to get a few extras at great prices for my food storage. Here's what I found:

The pasta was on sale at Winn Dixie for $10/10. I had some .50/1 coupons from a Smartsource insert, so they were free!

The cereal was part of a deal where if you buy 4 for $10, Winn Dixie would give me a free gallon of milk and a free carton of eggs. I had 2 $2/2 Kellogg's cereal coupons, so I paid $6 for 4 boxes of cereal, milk and eggs!

I had a .50/1 Dole product coupon I found in Ladies' Home Journal (I found a free subscription online a while ago.) So the pineapple was free!

I paid a total of $3 for my food storage items this week!

Kids' Clothes Connection- My finds

2009-09-25T11:02:00.000-07:00

I was able to shop at the Kids' Clothes Connection consignment sale a couple of days early, because I volunteer to work for them. Anyway, I was so excited to find bikes for both of my kids! My daughter will be 4 soon, and I found a Disney Princess bike with training wheels on it for $10! It's in great shape, and she absolutely loves it.

I knew that if I found a bike for my daughter, my 2 year old son would want one as well. I was lucky to find a "Radio Flyer" tricycle in great condition for him for $10 as well! So now my kids both have bikes, and ride them every day. It's fun for me to see them enjoying playing outside and getting exercise.

Since Halloween is coming soon, I wanted to find a costume for my son. I found a cute set of doctor scrubs that say "Doctor in Training" on the back. They were $5, and he loves them! My daughter is going to be a fairy, and we found her some wings and a tutu at Big Lots for $1/each. I bought her a leotard to go with them at the consignment sale for $1. I paid $8 for 2 costumes! I'm happy about that.

Let me know about the great second-hand deals you're finding!

Kids' Clothes Connection- Local Event

2009-09-22T13:46:00.000-07:00

I just wanted to post about the Kids' Clothes Connection consignment sale that we have here. If you are local, be sure to check this out. Beginning Saturday morning and running for two weeks, this huge consignment sale is a great place to find gently used kids' things at great prices.

It's a great sale, even if you are not shopping for kids' things, as there are always a lot of household goods and furniture as well. (I'm looking for a lawn mower... maybe I'll be lucky and find one!)

Anyway, Here is the website, which has all of the dates and times, as well as the location.

Let me know about great finds if you shop there, or any consignment sale in your area! I'm planning to shop tomorrow. I'll share what I find.

My Kroger Trip

2009-09-15T19:20:00.000-07:00

Well, I had a good trip to Kroger. I ended up going over my budget by $10, but I wanted to stock up on crackers, etc. - since there was a great sale.

My kids wanted to be in the pictures. I felt bad that Mr. J's head got cut off in his. My daughter's nickname is Bug, so that's what I'll call her here. She was so excited to pose with the groceries when she saw that I was taking pictures. (She is usually in bed when I go shopping, as I go at night. I have a hard time focusing on deals when I'm trying to tend to my kids at the same time.)

Anyway, here's what I found:

I had a coupon for $2 off the Nabisco cookie packs and Capri Suns. Since the Capri Suns were part of the Buy 10 Save $5 deal, I decided to use it. Together they cost me $3.50.

The Ritz crackers were also part of the deal. I had 3 "Buy Ritz get free Crackerfuls" coupons, so again, I decided to capitalize on the deal. After coupons, each box was .50.

The Maruchan Yakisoba meals were on sale 10/$10. I had 2 .50/1 coupons. Since my store doubles, I decided to try them. After all, they were free.

The Gala apples were .99/lb
The bag of oranges was $3.87 for 4 lbs.
I found lots of discounted bread. I threw one loaf in the freezer, so it will still by good by the end of the week.

The Smithfield pork tenderloin was on a BOGO sale. I only bought 1, so it was half price at $4.50. Since this will make 2 meals for us, I thought it was a good deal.

The Jell-o was part of the "Buy 10" deal. After the .50/2 coupons I used, they were .27/each!

The Easy Mac cups were part of the same sale. I had a few .55/2 coupons that I found in the aisle at the store a while ago. After sale and coupons, they were .31/each!

The Reese's Cups were on sale for .50/each. I had 3 .55/1 Reese's coupons. Free Chocolate!!!

Kroger Idaho Potatoes are on sale this week for $1.87/5 lbs. I had a $1 off any Kroger potatoes coupon that Kroger sent to me, so they were .87!

I forgot to include a carton of Edy's ice cream and 3 cans of tomatoes in my picture.

Anyway, I felt pretty good about this week, despite going a little over budget. After all, I had to buy diapers and wipes too.

I'd love to hear about how your shopping trips go! Let me know about the great deals you find.

Menu Planning Monday

2009-09-07T13:32:00.000-07:00

Unfortunately, I am not planning much in the way of shopping this week. On Friday, we're leaving to go to New Orleans for a mini vacation, and to watch the BYU Cougars play the Tulane Green Wave. We're so excited! (the trip is a birthday present to both my husband and me. My birthday is this Friday, and his was last Wednesday)

As a result, I'm going to try to prepare meals that I already have ingredients to, so I can save a little money for the restaurants we'll inevitably visit while we're gone.

I do want to share a great blog I found though- there are so many menus planned and posted there. Let me know if you find something to try! orgjunkie.com

Lindsey's Alberston's Trip

2009-09-07T12:53:00.001-07:00

I went to Albertson's last week and found some great deals! (They are good through tomorrow) They were having a similar deal to last week but this time you only had to spend $20 and get $5 back. Included in the deal were
Betty Crocker cake and brownie mixes 1/$1
Betty Crocker frosting 2/$3
Betty Crocker Warm Delights 3/$5
Betty Crocker Fruit Roll Ups etc 2/$5
Green Giant frozen veggies 1/$1
Green Giant Valley Fresh Steamers 2/$5
Pilsbury Grands biscuits 4/$5
Progresso soup 3/$4
General Mills cereal 2/$4
Nature Valley granola bars 2/$5
Bisquick 2/$6
On the back page of their ad they also had a whole list of coupons that you could use this week (for CapriSun, Kraft mayo, Oreos, Kraft cheese, Oscar Mayer hot dogs, Oscar Mayer salami and bolgna, Lunchables, Kraft Singles, Ritz crackers, DiGiornio and California Pizza Kitchen pizza, Kraft salad dressing, Planters nuts, and A1). At the store I went to in Utah they also had copies of all of these next to the product in the store, so you may not need to bring your ad. All of these are on sale anyway, so it makes for really good deal. Since CapriSun was on sale I decided to buy a couple of those to put towards the amount I need to buy for a Nabisco promotion (which you can find here http://www.nabiscoworld.com/back-to-school/). I also bought the EasyMac I needed for the promotion as they were only $.91 each. With a few other coupons I had, as well as the $10 on my next purchase I got from Albertson's last week, I bought this for only $25, and got my $5 off coupon to use next time:

Food Storage Friday

2009-09-04T12:08:00.000-07:00

Well, I didn't buy much extra this week for my food storage. All I came away with that I added to my supply was a box of Cheez-it's and a box of fruit snacks. They were both on sale for 2/$4, and I had $1/2 coupons for both. So, my total for the two was $3.

Remember though, to build a food storage, you don't have to do a lot at once. Add little by little, and you'll be surprised at how fast it grows.

My Kroger Trip this week

2009-09-02T18:48:00.000-07:00

Wow.. I am so behind this week! I'm sorry to be so late getting posts up. I've been busy getting my daughter started in her co-op preschool, my husband's birthday was today, and other random stuff.

Anyway, Monday night, I made a trip to Kroger to get some shopping done. I didn't do great, but I stayed close to my budget of $50/week, and I got everything that I needed.
I ended up paying $54 for this, and saved about $28, so not my best, but I'm still happy with it.

Kroger is having a promotion where you can buy any 3 participating Kellogg's products, and you will get a free gallon of milk. When I got to the store, I realized that the Cheez-it's and fruit snacks were included in the deal, where I thought from the store ad that I would have to buy 3 boxed of cereal.
The Cheez-its were on sale for $2.50/each, and I had a $1/2 coupon from a Kroger mailer. The fruit snacks were 2/$4, and I bought 2 because I had a $1/2 Kellogg's fruit snacks coupon. SO, I bought the crackers, fruit snacks and milk for $7!

I wasn't planning to buy frozen chicken, but it was on sale for $4.50 for 4 lbs. I had a $1/1 pack of Kroger frozen chicken coupon from a Kroger mailer, so I decided to get it.

The Eckrich products are BOGO this week, and I had 2 $1/1 coupons. (Check last Sunday's paper.) So, the bologna ended up being .50, and the sausage was about .95.

The cake mix (for my husband's birthday today) was $10/10, and the frosting was $1.69/each. I had a $1/cake and frosting coupon, as well as a .50/1 frosting coupon for the other frosting.

The Bounty paper towels are on sale this week 10/$10. Check Sunday's P&G insert for .25/1, which doubled for me to .50 off.

The grapes were .99/lb so I stocked up. My kids love grapes, so I bought 4 lbs. I hope they're not tired of them after this week.

Anyway, those are my highlights. Since it's so late in the week, I won't post a complete Kroger deals post, but I'll include a link here for you to check their ad.

Also, check BeCentsAble's Grocery Gathering for more great deals.

Let me know what you find this week!!!

Menu Planning Monday

2009-08-31T11:11:00.001-07:00

Last night, I actually used my pork ribs! (They have been on my menu for about a month, and I've been too intimidated to try them). They turned out great though, and I have leftovers that we ate in sandwiches for lunch today.

I've had kind of a tough time figuring out what to make this week. Here's what I've decided:

Monday: Tortellini and Sausage- A couple of weeks ago, I posted about an opportunity to get some free food from Schwan's home grocery delivery. It looks like they still have that promotion going. Here is the link, if you're interested. I chose to get their 3 cheese tortellini, and it came last week. I'm excited to try it! Eckrich sausage is on a BOGO sale at Kroger this week (probably about $2.00/each), and there was a coupon for $1/1 Eckrich sausage in yesterday's paper.

Tuesday: White Chicken Chili- Here is the recipe that I'm going to try. If you want to try it with me, let me know how it turns out!

Wednesday: My husband's birthday! I think I'll make lasagna that day. I found this recipe to try.

Thursday: Family Sized Baked Burrito: Here's another one that I haven't tried. I was looking on some other blogs for ideas though, and it looks pretty interesting. Here is the recipe. I found it on Melissa's Bargain Blog.

Friday: Potatoes and Chicken Gravy

Saturday: Tamale Casserole (recipe coming soon)

Sunday: Sweet and Sour Meatballs Over Rice

I'd love to know what you're planning this week!

Free Sample of Nature Valley Nut Clusters

2009-08-29T19:17:00.000-07:00

I love to read The Money Saving Mom's blog. She posted a link advertising a free sample of Nature Valley Nut Clusters. On her post, she said that her sample came in the mail, and it was a full size package, along with coupons!

Lindsey's Albertson's trip

2009-08-29T19:08:00.000-07:00

This week (until Tuesday, Sept. 1) Albertson's is having a deal that if you spend $25 on certain products (in a single transaction) you can get a coupon for $10 off of your next purchase. In addition, all of the products included in this deal are on sale! I went last week and bought all of this:

Originally it would have been $42. With my Albertson's card it would have been $25 but I had some coupons that brought it down to $16. If you include the $10 off that I got at the register then I got everything for $6! Some of the other things included in this sale are:
Marie Calender's frozen meals
Various Keebler crackers and cookies
Gardenburger and Morningstar (if you buy something Morningstar you should also get a 75 cent coupon to use on one of their products next time)
Manwich Sloppy Joe sauce
Hunt's Pasta sauce
Peter Pan peanut butter
Rice Krispies Treats
Wesson cooking oil
Pam

Welcome to My Sister Lindsey!

2009-08-29T19:03:00.000-07:00

Recently, I asked my sister Lindsey if she would be interested in contributing to my blog. A little background about her: she's a first grade teacher living in Utah, so I only get to see her every 6 months or so. Over the past month or so, I have been trying to convert her to using coupons. She decided to try it, and now, I'm pretty sure she's hooked. I love it when she calls me to tell me how much she's saved at the grocery store.

Lindsey has been finding some great deals at Albertson's grocery store. I have to say, I'm jealous that we don't have one where I am in Alabama. Anyway, she has agreed to post her great deals here on the blog. So, any of you who are lucky enough to have an Albertson's close by, I hope you enjoy what she has to offer!
