Monday 2/18/13

Don't forget you can join the email portion of this and get an email any time I post anything I've done that I feel worthy of mentioning coupon-wise.

Walgreens had Red Baron Pizzas $5.99, buy one get one free.  We also had coupons from Smart Source on 1/20 for $1 off 2 pizzas.  Bought 4 for $2.49 each.  Nice for a movie night at home.  They had quite a bit of stock too.

With Billy under the weather, I needed to buy  more Coricidin....I found a printable coupon for $2.00 off 1 on the Coricidin site on FB....Coricidin was $7.99 with $2/1 made it $5.99.

Schick Hydro Razors were on sale for $9.99, we had a coupon for $4 off 1 razor from Smart Source on 2/10 and they gave me back a $4.00 Register Reward that I can spend on something else.  So my final price on that was $1.99.

I wanted the Kraft Velveeta Shell & Cheese, Cheesy Skillets or Deluxe Mac & Cheese for $2.00 each.  I had coupons from Smart Source 2/10 for $1 off 2 of them, which would have made them $1.50 each.  Not great but okay...however the store on Argyle was out!  So don't go there for these.

All in all I saved $21.98 got a $4 Register Reward and earned 1,000 balance rewards points.  When you get to 5,000 of those, you can cash them in for $5 off you purchase.  It does require you to sign up though.

That's it for today.....have a good week and God Bless.....Rhonda Goff

Thursday 2/7/13

Did a Publix run this afternoon and didn't do GREAT, but a couple of deals you may want to do.

Hall's Cough Drops were bogo at $1.69 for 2 and we had coupons from SS 2/3/13 for $1 off 2, making those .35 per package.  Hefty One Zip Bags were 2 for $3, we had coupons from RP 1/6, or RP 11/11 for $1.50 off 2 making those .75 per package and they had several sizes available.  Angel Soft TP was $5.49 for the 12 roll pkg. and there is a printable coupon for $1.00 off making those $4.49 or .37 per roll.  They also had their Grass Fed ground beef marked down to $6.29 per pound, saving you $1 per pound.  I know it's pricey, but no poison in this stuff!  Sargento shredded cheeses were bogo at $4.19 and we had coupons for .50 off 2, making those $1.85 per package.  Not a great day, but I was in a hurry and when you buy meats.....jeepers creepers!

Okay, have a great rest of the week and God Bless....Rhonda Goff

Wednesday 1/16/13

Did a run to Walmart today.  Our Women's Ministry group is going to do a shower for one of the locations (unknown to us) for one of the safe houses for the young ladies who have been sold into sexual slavery.  At any rate, we are couponing and trying to come up with things like pads, tampons....anything that would help these young women.  I hit a bonanza at Walmart today!  Poise fresh up towlettes were $2.97 per package, we had MFG Q from Smartsource on Sunday, 1/13 for $3 off one, I got 4 of those and made .12.  They had Kotex panty liners on sale for .94 per package, we had MFG Q from SS 1/13 for 1.50/2, got those for .19 per package, 8 of those....Yeah, all for the shower.  Found other good deals at Walmart today.  Addicted to saving site had a coupon you could print for $2.00 off a 3 lb bag of grapefruit, I got a 5 pound bag of pink for $1.78.  Ruffies Trash bags were 1.62, had a MFG Q for $1.50/2, making those .87 per package.  I printed that Q on coupons.com.  Old Spice Deod was $2.00, I had Q for $1 off 2, making those 1.50 each.  I just ate an entire can of Margaret Holmes canned tomatoes, corn & okra.....man was that good!  We have Margaret Holmes canned goods Q from a long time ago, don't remember exactly when we got them but they are good until May!  They had a great variety of Margaret Holmes canned goods in Walmart, and each can was .98, our Q were for ..35 off each one, making those only .63 per can.  Bought milk and ground turkey, stuff for Chile, paper towels...can't seem to catch a break on paper products.   All in all I think I did really well.  Total before coupons was $117.09, after Q's, it was $85.84.  .27 percent savings, I've done better but not lately, but it's still dollars in my pocket that they did not get!  That's a win to me.  How to figure your percent of savings?  Divide your total amount saved by the total value (before your coupons) and that gives you your percentage of savings.  Okay, have a good day and rest of week, I think that will do it for me for this week.  IF you have ladies items that you would like to donate somewhere, we have a place for them.  Let me know and I will arrange to get them.  God Bless and save some $$$.

Monday 1/14/13

I am so sorry I haven't posted for some time, hopefully I can get back to it.  I shopped today at Wags & CVS.  If you have not already done so, sign up for your Wags balance rewards card, after using it, I like it much better than the Register Rewards program.  You can spend your bonus points on whatever you like, no restrictions.  (Except tobacco & prescriptions I think)  Good deal.  1,000 bonus points is actually $1 in the grand scheme of things.  They want you to have accrued at least 5,000 to use a $5 off bonus, and 10,000 to use a $10 off bonus.

Total at Wags I did 2 deals.  First one was Cottonelle bath tissue was $5 for a 12 pack and if you bought 2, you got a 1,000 point bonus AND I had mfg.coups for .50 off each one.  All said and done, I paid .33 per roll for the TP.  They had Lindsey Olive coupons in the Wags flyer for .99 per can.  Then in preparation for cold & flu season, I bought a box of Mucinex for $19.99 (normally $22.99) had a coupon for $2 off 1, which I printed from the FB  Mucinex site and I received 3,000 points for buying the item.  I spent $28.97 for $35.99 in goods and went forward with 4,000 bonus points (or $4.00).

2nd deal, they had Poise & Depend pads 10.99 per package, bought 1 of each for $21.98, used a $4/1 coupon that printed when I did my first wags deal and I had a mfg. for $1 off the other from SS 1/13, then I used $5 or 5,000 of my bonus rewards points (I already had some accrued plus the 4,000 I earned in the first deal, bringing my total to $13.52 saving me $8.56.  Not bad.

CVS was next and I mainly went for the Dawn Dish Soaps, we had coupons from Jan. Proctor & Gamble flyer for .50 off the Dawn hand care and .25 off the regular dawn.  My supplies were low, so I bought 5 of each at .99 each, after coupons they  were .61 each.  These are the small 9 ounce bottles, but they run this sale all the time with Dawn or Palmolive and it works out really well for me.

Okay, that's what I did today.  Let me know if you all find some savvy deals.

God Bless......Rhonda Goff

Tuesday 11/13/12

Did some drop in shops today.  I used my first $5 Bonus Rewards at Walgreens.  They had some decent deals, however, our Wags was out of the Lindsey Olives for .99, which there is a printable coupon on the coupons.com site for $1/1 can of Lindsey Olives.  I bought the boxes of Cheese it crackers for .99...no coupon involved.  My best deal there was the Breathe Right Nasal Strips....in the Wags November booklet is a coupon for $2 off each box (which worked on the 10 count) and we have coupons for $1.50 off the 10 count boxes.....got 3 boxes for $4.49 per box.  Used my $5 bonus rewards...the cashier gives you the option to use them or save them, then you just have to approve it on the machine.  Pretty easy.

Dollar Tree....I love it there at Christmas Time.  I bought a few stocking stuffer type things, some kitchen Christmas rugs for $1 each....I've bought the nicer rugs in the past, after a wash I ended up throwing them away anyway, so $1 is fine for a couple of months.  Got some Christmas storage containers, Spic N Span spray, Palmolive bath soap, 3 bars for $1...we love that soap.  Got some Disney paint sets for some little people I know and some marshmallow suckers for their Christmas goodie bags!  Came out with 24 items for $24 plus tax.  Not bad.  Dollar Tree still has the Libby's canned fruits and veggies for .75 each and we just got new coupons again for $1/4 again.  It's my understanding that we may get them even cheaper at Dollar General starting on Sunday....keep an eye out.  Would love to buy 16 cans for less than .50 each, wouldn't you?

Big Lots next....no, they STILL don't take coupons, but they had 2 of the 3.5 ft lit trees for beside your front door for $40 for the 2.  They are prelit and flocked, they were really cute little trees.  Bought some Honey roasted peanuts for a boy I know who thinks you can't have Thanksgiving without them...Bob's Mill unbleached natural flour and natural Tapioca pudding beads and a new Christmas Gate Hanger.

Publix has our Truvia sweeteners for $3.99 (40 ct. box) and we have $2/1 coupons.  Can't remember where they are from, but my friend Dianna will want to take advantage of that too.

TGIF snacks were $1 each.  Bought all my ingred for my snack mix....not a cheap endeavor by any means, but I had coupons for most of the crackers and things...  Hidden Valley Ranch dry dressings were 3/$5, wish I'd had a coupon.  Here is my really great deal....I've been using the Nicorette Losenges to quit smoking, we have $10/1 package coupons and I used my $5/$55 WD coupon for those.  Hopefully, this should be my last package of those...I've been quit now for 51 days!  These should take me up through the end.  Thank God!  I've already saved around $300!  If  you need to know how I did, email me and I will hook you up with the program I used.

I don't imagine I will be doing much more shopping before Thanksgiving, as we are going to our daughter's in NC for the holiday.  My next shop will be in Shelby, NC!  I wish you all wonderful Thanksgiving memories and just take the time to be Thankful, we have much and others have so little.  I will also be thanking God for my coupon shopping endeavors too, sometimes He leads me right to a great deal!  Happy Thanksgiving to you all and God Bless you...

Friday 11/9/12

Did a quick Publix run on Friday to pick up on a few things they had on sale.  Haven't been too impressed with anyone's sales here lately.  This sale runs through Wednesday 11/14 if you want to do some of these deals yourselves.

Suave Body Lotions were bogo at $3.21 for 2, had coupons from RP 10/14 for $2/2 which made those .60 each.  Betty Crocker Potatoes were bogo at $1.99 for 2, had .50/2 which I printed on coupons.com, making those .75 each.  Halls Cough Drops were bogo $1.69 for 2, had coupons from SS 11/4 for $1/2 making those .35 each.  Kraft Stove Top stuffing was bogo at $1.69 for 2, printed coupons from coupons.com for $1/2 making those .34 each.  Campbells cream of mushroom and cream of chicken soups were bogo at $1.33/2, had coupons for $1/4 coupons.com or SS 11/4 for .35/4.  Those ended up at .58 each.  I use these in EVERYTHING so I stocked up with 16 of them.  Progresso broth was bogo at $2.59, searched high and low for coupons and found none, so those were $1.29 each without coupons.  Except for some things to make soup (fresh veggies), milk and bread, that was about it for last week.  Hopefully there will be better deals this week.  The coupons we got on Sunday 11/11 were much better than I've been seeing.

I've not been too impressed with Wags new system, Cvs has been better lately...although I've not shopped either unless I just had to have something.  This weeks ads look a little better to me.  Will let you know if I find any good deals for us.  Let me know if you find any as well.

Okay, seems to me we are rushing things a bit this year, more so than normal.  I saw my first Salvation Army Bell Ringer in front of Publix on Friday???  Really???  I thought those came out after Thanksgiving?  I've also seen on line where everyone seems to be posting their Black Friday deals early???  Really?  I find this a bit annoying.....can't we just enjoy Thanksgiving and being Thankful before we jump into Christmas???  Just a thought.

God Bless and take a moment to just be Thankful!    Rhonda Goff
