Christi's (2) Cents

A LONG break

2011-05-10T11:59:00.002-05:00

Still couponing but haven't blogged on here in over a year and don't plan on starting back up so I guess it's safe to say this blog is no longer being updated. I will leave it up for the links and previous posts that have great info about couponing.

My favorite blog that I still read daily is Money Saving Mom so I highly recommend you check it out if you haven't already heard of her :)

THANK YOU for reading and following this blog. If I decide to start back up once I have the girls all transitioned (we just adopted 2 little girls), then I'll get the word out. I'm still very passionate about saving money and giving back to your community through couponing so hope to be back on here someday soon.

2) Homeland will only double 1 "like" coupon so if you are wanting to use 2 of the same coupons, you will need to do separate transactions or make several trips to the store. Homeland is no longer allowing back to back transactions so you will need to plan out a couple of trips if you are wanting to double 2 "like" coupons.

3) The Homeland coupon policy states they "limit internet printables".

4) Homeland only doubles coupons worth $1 or less. So, if you have any coupons for more than 1 dollar, they will come up at face value.

Blog issues

2010-02-24T09:14:00.002-06:00

I heard from a reader that my e-mails (of posts) have been delayed. I noticed that I posted the one about the pancakes on Monday night and it just came through e-mail today. I'm going to look to see if I can change anything in my settings to remedy this. Does anyone have any technical advice for me? Does anyone know how I can fix this?

I know that my RSS feeds are coming through fairly quickly. If you want to guarantee to get the latest updates, you might want to subscribe via reader. If you'd rather stick with e-mail, please be patient. I'm hoping to be able to figure out why they are lagging so much from when they are posted.

Sorry for the inconvenience!!! Thank you for letting me know :)

Super Savings- Target (Feb 15th)

2010-02-16T00:07:00.001-06:00

I decided to run to Target tonight to take advantage of some of their great deals before they ran out of stuff.

For the stuff pictured above, I spent $27.37 and will be submitting the $15 OLAY rebate and the $5 SC Johnson rebate making it a total of $7.37 after rebates. My gift card for the Olay products did not print out (as some have reported) but I'm not going to complain after these great savings!!

I got a really nice cashier who was very courteous and made sure she scanned every coupon. I guess going late at night might be a trick :) ha ha

For the Target coupon matchups, I used Stretching a Buck's list HERE as well as some matching of my own.

I wanted to add that most of my actual food for the week was purchased at Homeland but I didn't get a picture. I spent $21.92 there and saved $30.57 :)

2010-02-16T00:05:00.000-06:00

I ran to CVS to take advantage of their specials.I could not find the Crest Pro Health stuff so had to change my order a little bit. I'm still super happy with my purchases.

For the above pictured items, I spent $11.81!!

For the coupon match-ups, I used Money Saving Mom's list HERE.

Remember:
1) You have to have a Homeland ONE card to get the deals (apply in store or online ).

2) Homeland will only double 1 "like" coupon so if you are wanting to use 2 of the same coupons, you will need to do separate transactions or make several trips to the store. Homeland is no longer allowing back to back transactions so you will need to plan out a couple of trips if you are wanting to double 2 "like" coupons.

3) The Homeland coupon policy states they "limit internet printables".

4) Homeland only doubles coupons worth $1 or less. So, if you have any coupons for more than 1 dollar, they will come up at face value.

5) Homeland does not give "overage". When your coupon doubles, it will go up to the price paid for the item.

Budgetting,Stockpile, etc.

2010-02-10T06:58:00.002-06:00

I went over my grocery budget for January! Just a little...but still, that can't happen. I've decided for the next few weeks to try and eat at home as much as possible. In January, Money Saving Mom did an "eat from your pantry" challenge. She tried to cook as much of her stockpile as she could.She only bought fresh produce or milk and need items for the month.

I'm going to do a similar challenge for the next few weeks. I'm going to cook my way through my freezer and pantry. I still plan on buying produce and also Free or close to free items in order to keep up my "stockpile".

I'm excited about this challenge-want to take it with me? I'll keep you updated on how it goes:)
