Walmart's Price Matching policy for Christmas

WOW...this is pretty interesting, thought I'd pass it along...

Walmart sent a press release with great news about their price guarantee for the Holiday Season. There was a conference call at 11am EST, so I wanted to participate in that before posting, in case there were any additional details to tell you about.

The Price Guarantee means Walmart will offer shoppers a refund on the difference if they find the same product they purchased at a Wal-Mart store, advertised for a lower price elsewhere in the same market.

Here’w how to get your refund:

• Simply bring in their original Walmart cash register receipt and the local competitor’s current printed ad to Walmart’s Customer Service desk through Dec. 25.
• Once validated, a gift card for the difference will be issued.
• Items placed on layaway will also be eligible for the Christmas Price Guarantee.
• Black Friday and Internet Prices are Excluded

Sunday 10/30/11

Just a reminder....the new Target coups are loaded and ready for you to print. I just printed mine. Get em while there hot, once they're gone, they're gone...even if you don't think you will use them, we are coming up on Black Friday and Target has many coupons for toys & games, ladies denim, purses, winter outerwear...print them anyway, you may find that the Black Friday sales will allow you to get gifts at a really good price. They even have some electronics coupons. Then I imagine by Tuesday, we should be able to go online and print all the coupons.com, smartsource, redplum and whoever else you print. I am really looking forward to Black Friday this year, fully armed with my coupon books, aren't you??? I'm excited! Okay, be careful tomorrow, if you go to our church, get out there and help with Fall Festival....it's about them, not us! God Bless and be savvy....RG

Did a Walmart run and picked up Organic Veggies

Beautiful fruits and veggies again this week. I love love not paying grocery store prices for organic fruits and vegetables. Jaxorganic.com.

Realizing that many of our coupons are running out Monday, I did a quick Walmart run. I went to the one on 103rd Street...(Don't go there at night, it's kinda scary in the day)...anyway, they have a ton of the Tide Trial Size for .97 and we have various coupons making them from .33 to FREE. They had plenty, and they had the Crest Total trial size for .97, if you haven't used those coups already, you should have $1 off coupons that don't list a size. They had plenty of the Dr. Pepper 10 that we had the free coupons for. The Old El Paso Taco seasonings were .48 each after coups, Extra Gum 15 stick packs were .96 and we had coups for $1 off 2, making those .46 each. these are located at the checkouts. Mahatma white or brown rice was $1.16, we had coups for .50 off 1, making those .66 for a pound of rice! Wow. They had plenty of the Brillo Estracell sponges for .96 each, in the dish soap aisle. They had tons of the Kotex U panty liners for $1.24 with the $1 off coupons making them .24. I looked at Walmart for the Carolina Pride brand sausage, bacon and hot dogs. I don't know about you all, but I have a ton of those coupons and have not seen the product anywhere. Have any of you seen it? They are some really good coupons, but where in the hang do you get it???

Okay, that's it for me this week, I hope you all are able to take advantage of some of these sales before the coups run out on 10/31. Be a SavvyMoneySaver and God Bless....RG

Just placed my order with Zaycon Foods for the ground beef

Orders must be made by this Friday. Total for 40 pounds of lean ground beef was $115.60. The meat will be ready for pick up at Orange Park Kennel Club parking lot, 455 Park Avenue on Tuesday, November 8 from 10A-10:30A. It's real easy, you don't even have to get out of your car. Hand them your receipt (which you print out and keep after you order), and they will load the box into your vehicle. Just think of all the chile and spaghetti I can make this winter....tacos, all that stuff. I hope some of you will take advantage of this deal. It sure worked out good for the chicken deal. Be Savvy....God bless...RG

Here's what we're getting from the Neighborhood Garden this week.

Here's what we're getting this week from The Neighborhood Garden/Jaxorganic.com. 4-5 Gala Apples, 2 Kiwi, 2 Anjou Pears, Bananas, Green Leaf Lettuce, 1-2 Yellow Onions, 10 oz Broccoli Florets, 1-2 Cucumber, 2-3 Squash, Spring Mix, 3-4 Tomatoes, 5 oz Alfalfa Sprouts *List is subject to change due to availability. My pick up day is Thursday at 4:30 at the Library on Chaffee. There are many other locations available. Check them out!

Zaycon Foods Lean Ground Beef

I just received an email from them which said the Ground Beef is 93/7....93%lean and only 7% fat. That's pretty darn lean. If you are already registered, we are supposed to be able to go to our account and place our order this evening starting at 5:00 PM. These are 40 pound boxes, 4 ten pound tubes. Get a buddy to share with you if you can't handle 40 pounds. I don't know when they are coming or where, hopefully they will tell us that when we go to sign up and pay. If you are not signed up and registered and you want to be...go to https://www.zayconfoods.com/refer/zf40854 . Have a great day, RG

I just checked the Publix & WD ads from last week. Publix had Ground Chuck on sale for $3.29 per pound and WD had Ground Sirloin for $3.99 per pound. Those are sale prices and it didn't say what the fat to lean ratio was on those. Just to give you a better idea.

Zaycon Foods...Lean Ground Beef

Zaycon WAS coming to town with bacon, but before they could buy it, the price went up. I heard through the grapevine that they are coming instead with lean ground beef for $2.89 per pound. Those of you who registered for an account, keep your eyes open for an email, I will too. I would buy 40 pounds of lean ground beef for $2.89 per pound. If you don't want that much, find a buddy to share with. Just wanted to give you guys a heads up on this. I heard it from Karen at savingthefamilymoney.com. If you have not signed up for an account, do so, then you will get the emails too. zayconfoods.com. Tell them I sent you. Rhonda Goff

Sunday 10/23/11

Well, kids, I glanced over the ads, glanced at Southernsavers.com and a few other sites.....not much there that I saw. These places are gonna have to do better...coupons are alot of work not to get better results than this! There is a ton of candy on sale, check your ads and coups. For those of you who attend WFWC...we need candy and the Welchs pure grape juice is still bogo at Winn Dixie and we have $1 off coupons, making them $1 each. We need them at church for communion. I think the sale is good til Tuesday. Grab some for church if you can, I grabbed all I could, I only had 4 coupons. Okay, off to the cancer doc tomorrow for my yearly check up, I will try to go deeper into the sale papers tomorrow afternoon. If I come up with anything of interest, I'll be sure to let you all know and you all do the same. Be Savvy and God Bless....RG

The Thursday shop

First off, I picked up my organic bag of veggies and fruits, wow, are they nice! I can't wait for next week. I feel healthier just having them in the house! Jaxorganic.com, a $3 off coupon on facebook under The neighborhood Garden and mention my name and I get something too! Thanks..in advance.

First stop...Winn Dixie...I only bought what I went in for....4 gallons of Welchs grape juice for communion at church and the center cut porkchops that were bogo. They were real nice. I think I spent $14 something.

2nd Stop...Walmart. I did not find everything I was looking for, but did okay. I bought both of the Mentos gum deals, one was .73 and one kind was .28. Got the Nesquick Powder in $1 packages...it makes 7 servings, got those for .40 each. The razors were all gone! I bought 10 of the Brillo Estracel Sponges...there are 2 in each pack for .46 each and Dawn dish soap, got 7 for .72 each. Spent an even $50 for $113.19 in goods.

3rd Stop...Publix..the Bertolli deal was a bust for some reason, they didn't know anything about it so the soup was not on the sale...they better hurry. Got 12 of the Hunts ginormous canned tomatoes for .76 each. Voskos greek yogurts were .25 each I think, I did the Febreeze candle deal and it worked. However, don't put all the coupons together. I bought the 2 big Febreeze candles for $4.99 each, I had the coupon for buy 1 candle get a free set and refresh. Then, I had a coupon that if you bought 2 Febreeze items, you got $2 off. Bottom line, for $5.98, I got 2 of the big candles and 2 sets of set and refresh! I was tickled about that deal, I wasn't sure it would go through. I did the Olay deal....I bought 2 Olay lotions for $5.99 ea, and got one free. I bought 2 -4 packs of Olay soap and got one pack free, those were also $5.99, which qualifies me for the pink bakeware set...whoo hoo. I love love Olay soap and lotion, so I will use these. I bought milk, creamer, bread, lunchmeat, cheese etc. also. I spent $131.27, saved $95.08...total of goods in my basket was $226.35. I feel like I did pretty well. I'm happy with my efforts this day. Let me know how you all do...and if you find some goodies that I didn't.

Have a great rest of the week, God Bless and be savvy.....rg

Wednesday ads for Thursday's plan of attack

This is my plan, if you see something I missed, let me know. EVERYBODY has candy specials, we have a ton of coupons, so there shouldn't be a shortfall at our church Fall Festival.

Winn Dixie...I didn't see much this week, except they have Welch's Grape Juice in the large bottles BOGO for $3.99, we have mfg coupons for $1 off each one, making them .99 each, I only have 4 coups, but if I get there, I will get them for church. Also they have Center Cut Pork chops bogo at $4.99 pound, making them $2.50 pound. Not too bad.

Publix...first off I plan to do the Cooking up early detection deal where I purchase $25 of P & G products in 1 purchase and get a free pink bakeware set. (Being a breast cancer survivor, I'm a sucker for anything pink!) Publix has a coup for Buy 2 Olay Collections body wash, 4 bar soap or hand & body lotion, get 1 Free. I need the body lotion and am hoping that 3 of them hit the $25 mark, if not I will put in something else. Breyers Ice Cream is bogo, Target has coups for .75 off each one, I have 2. Hunts tomatoes & sauce are bogo at $1.99 each. I have enough coups, including the Target ones, to buy 12 and they will be .76 each. Voskos Greek Yogurt is $1 each, there is a Publix coup for $1 off every 3, I have enough for 12. I couldn't find the mfg coups. Febreeze Candles are $4.99..I found mfg coups for Buy 1 candle get a free Febreeze single set & refresh. Since that is two items, I also have another coup for $2 off 2 Febreeze items. Not sure it will work, but gonna try it. And those Bertolli Soup Coupons I told you to hang onto? Whoop Whoop, the skillet meal is $5.99, I hope that includes the Dinner Soup for 2. If so, I have a Publix coup for $2 off 1 and a mfg. coup for $1 off 1, making them $2.99 each. I tried the soups and they are wonderful....however, it's one bowl for each person, so if you eat more, you might want a salad with it or bread. I also have a WD coupon for $5 off $30 I plan to use.

Walmart...has the Dr. Pepper 10 advertised for $1.28...we have coupons for 1 free one...do you think I can find mine? I had them with me the other day, Lord knows where I put them. Guess I better pray to find them. Franks Hot Sauce is .88, we have coups for .50 off 1, making those .38. Mentos Gum Bottles..15 piece are $1.28, we have mfg coups for .55 of 1, making those .73 and Mentos UP2U Gum is also $1.28, with coups for $1 off 1, making those .28. Nestles Quick powder is $1, we have coups for .60 off 1, making those .40...no size restriction on the coupon...love those. LA Looks products, it says they have some for $1.94, we have coups for $1 off, making it .94...whatever It IS? Brillo Estracell (what the heck does Estracell mean anyway?) Sponge product 2 ct. is .96, we have coups for $1 off 2, making those .46 each. Dawn original dish soaps are .97, we have coups for .25 off 1, making those .72. I buy a lot of those, Dawn dish soap actually takes out oil paint, which is handy when I paint...I have a tendency to sling paint all over....he he. Schick Disposable Razor Twin Blade is 12 ct. for $1.97...we have several options here and I'm not sure which one will work. If they all work, I COULD end up with 28 Razors for Free! Wouldn't that be sweet! I will let you know how all this pans out tomorrow. Busy shopping day Thursday AND I pick up my first Organic fruit & veggie order. Can't wait for that.

Have a good week and Be Savvy. God Bless, RG

Eating Organic

I don't know where any of you stand on this issue, but after some research, actually lots of it with my friend, Launa, I feel it's a must for our health. At any rate, yesterday at a coupon meeting we were introduced to The Neighborhood Organic Garden or Jaxorganic.com. You can go online, order the week's offering and pickup wherever you chose from their large list of locations. Check them out. I chose the Chaffee Road Library location for my Thursday at 4:30 pick up. I am so excited to find a way to get organic fruits & veggies weekly and not have to pay the high grocery store prices for organic. I will let you know how it all works out! Also, at the same time, I've learned about Cillas Deals on Facebook. This young lady shops organic and natural and STILL saves money. Check her out as well, I think you will like what you see. Here's to being a savvy money saver AND a savvy health nut! Love, RG

Monday...Free Pink Bakeware set application

I've been looking for the application for this and found it on: http://www.everydaypgsavings.com/Rebate.pdf. Print one for yourself and go for it. It has to be 1 transaction of P & G products before 10/31/11 for $25. Shoot , you can do that with Olay Body lotions...of which Publix has a coupon for buy 2 get one free! I plan on doing this one. At Publix, where I was looking for the ap, I took advantage of a deal on Crest White Strips. They are so expensive. The strips were $29.99, there was a mfg coupon for $10 off and a Publix Coupon for $7.00 off and I had a $5 gift certificate. I ended up paying $10.09 for a 10 day supply. If my teeth blind your eyes out after 10 days, we'll know they work! ha ha.

I perused the sales at the drug stores, walmart etc. and I am choosing to sit this one out again. Come on, stores, give us some meat we can sink our teeth into! I am sadly depleted on razors this year, the coups & sales have just not been real worthwhile that I have found. Especially when last year we were raking them in free all year! Okay, don't lose heart, things will pick back up. When they all realize we're not buying the razors....I bet we'll see better sales coming soon. Okay, have a great week, and I hope to see some good deals in our ads come Thursday. God Bless......RG

Sunday 10/16

We got 3 sets of coupon inserts this morning! Nice! I glanced through them and many go all the way through December and I saw a few Januarys! Food for thought...my daughter and I will be participating in Black Friday....imagine it with coupons??? Especially at the drug stores for any perfumes and make ups or shavers whatever. I bet we can do some damage with our coups and get a head start on Christmas with our coupons. I bet there will even be some deals at our grocery stores that week to entice us in....just be thinking of Black Friday for your coupons...in other words, don't use them carelessly if you want to make the most of Black Friday sales. Have a great week....hope to see you at church. God Bless....RG

Sunday 10/16

Thursday....Target

Didn't get to Target yesterday to pick up meds, so I went today and took my coupon books....whoo hoo, here's a few highlights.

In the Trial Size section of Target, I found Tide samples that do 1 load of wash for .97 each, I had a $1 off coupon that did NOT say no trial size, bought 4 of them. (I don't use Tide, and the coups were getting ready to expire on 10/31, figured I get while the gettin was good)! These trial size make nice additions for a college student or for a gift basket. I also found in that same area...Colgate toothpaste a whole basket that was marked down to .99, (they were not samples, but in the sample area), I had coups for .50 off those, they are full size for .49 each. I used my last Covergirl $8 off 2 face items...I bought 2 more Cheekers Blushers for $7.48, made .52 on those. I now have 14 of them that I MADE a total of $3.64 on! ha. I found Glade candles marked down to $2.54 each, I had .50 off each one and a Target coupon for $1.50 off 2 candles, making them $1.24 each. Last but certainly not least, I found Glade Limited Edition Fall Collection room sprays in Cashmere Woods marked down to $2.15 each, I had .55 off each one making them $1.65 each. Oh, and Blue Bonnet Margarine for some baking I'm doing..... .87 a pound package. Didn't have a coupon, but great price.

Sometimes it just pays....when you have the time...to walk around these stores with coupon books in tow....and take a look around. Go through the trial size aisles, most stores have them now. They mark down so much stuff....and you don't know unless you go look for bargains like I did today. I am really thinking about making a section in my notebooks for coupons that do not have a limit on them....that do not say No Trial Sizes. That way it would go a little faster in your search.

Okay, that is it for me for this week....I did not go grocery shopping this week and I don't intend to until the next ads come out next Thursday. Have a great rest of the week...and remember, be savvy money savers always! Love, RG

Wed. morning ads

Gee, for once, I made a good decision to shop "big" last week! That usually doesn't happen for me. I've been online looking at the newest Publix Ad, Winn Dixie Ad and Walmart...I don't see one thing that I would drive the 10 or so miles to go and get! I didn't even find anything for my stockpile in the ads??? Maybe you all will, if you see something I may have missed, holler. I do have to go pick up meds at Target today...perhaps I'll take my coupon books and see if I can scare up any deals there. I'll let you know. See you in church tonight....I feel like a real savvy shopper this week...being that I did the bulk of my shopping last week! RG

Good Monday Morning...

For a girl who wasn't going to shop this week, I did pretty darn good. My Couponistas went "pounding" this morning, I ran errands. Needed Organix Puppy Food and Milk Bones, so I went to Pet Smart with my Pet Supermarket Coupon for $2 off $10, which PetSmart honors, my Milk Bones were on Sale, had a coupon for those, $1.50 off 2, $2 off my order...came to $15.61, I saved $5.98 all told.

I needed a small birthday gift for a friend, I went to Lifeway Christian Store, went to check out and mentioned that I had never been in this store before and she GAVE me a 30% off coupon, set me up with a Lifeway Rewards card and then GAVE me two more coupons to use at another time! Ha. I ended up saving $5 and I will go back again. They are having a sale on Christian Fiction books, some are only $5! Check them out, really nice ladies!

I won't be shopping any more this week unless I see something at Publix or WD that is FREE or almost FREE! Have a great week!

RG

Food Saver Coupon

A couple of you have asked about my Food Saver System...there is a coupon on smartsource.com for $10 off of a Food Saver system. I also saw a coupon, somewhere???, for dollars off on the bags. If I find it again, I'll let you know. I've seen the systems at Walmart and a couple of times at Publix. Sams has them too, but I'm not sure if they take coupons, anyone know?The bags are a little pricey, but...I don't like to buy a $10-$20 roast and have it get freezer burned. Since I buy a lot of meat when it's on sale, it's worth it to me to protect my freezer items. I also put my frozen vegetables in the food saver bags and they last longer as well. Okay, print your $10 off a Food Saver System and when I find the bag coupons again, I'll let you all know.

Today's shopping highlights

Walmart....got 12 Covergirl Cheekers blushers for FREE and made .52 on every two I bought...how? The blushers are $3.74 at Walmart, we had a coupon for $8 off of 2 Covergirl face items....I made $3.12 and the blushers were FREE!!! whoo hoo. I did not find the trial size Tide, Softsoap body wash or Olay Body washes. I did however find trial sizes of Crest, Colgate and Crest Rinses and I had coupons that did not specify sizes, all those items sold for .97, so I used $1 coupons on those. Those items will come in handy for Esther's Goody Box at church. Spent $36.85 for $87.67 in products. AND...I bought enough P & G items to qualify for the $10 cash rebate from P & G! ha.

Airwick candles...the big nice ones..were $3.99 each, had a coup for buy 2 get one free And $5.00 off 2 AND $1 off each one..came out to free and I made 2 cents.

Monday 10/3/11

Good afternoon. I did a small Target run this morning and a Walgreens run. Target, I bought one of the My Little Pony deals for a Christmas gift, it was normally $19.99 for $12.99, Neutrogena Original Formula single cleansing bars were $1.97, I had a $1 off coupon for each and there is supposed to be a $1 off Target Coupon, I couldn't find one, but still .97 for the soaps is not bad. BTW there are a whole new batch of coupons on Target.com this morning, they go fast, so print them quick.

Those of you who attend our church and are looking for candy to donate to our Fall Festival, I did pretty well at Walgreens. They have the 10-11oz fun size bars 2/$5. In the October Walgreens little coupon booklet, there is a coupon for $1.00/2 and then we have various MFG coupons, the one I used was $1/3....anyway, they ended up at $1.55 per bag, which is not too bad. IF you get All You magazine there are more candy coupons in the October issue which would make them even less.

I almost forgot....My all in all totals at each store were: Target $41.09 for $72.21 in product and Walgreens $21.17 for $68.19 in product. Not a bad day I don't think.

That's it for today, savvy money savers, have a great week!

And in my mailbox yesterday was my FREE...yes, that's right, FREE Swifter 360 degree duster and more coupons! Don't forget to sign up for free stuff when you see it, I love love FREE stuff. Okay, enough of this, I have to go cut out and file my coupons now while I watch Hallmark movies! Have a blessed savvy money saver week! RG

4 coupon inserts on Sunday

We should be getting 4 coupon inserts Sunday, Red Plum, Smart Source, Procter & Gamble and one from Pepsico. At least they are getting that one in Orlando, I hope we do too! We'll have to see if it's a regional deal or not. Hope not. Have a great day in church tomorrow and get those coupons cut out and in those books so you don't miss anything.

Be a Savvy Money Saver.

Zaycon Foods Chicken

Okay, we picked up our 40 pounds of fresh, boneless, skinless chicken breast. OMG, I feel we got the deal of the century! I ended up with 36 HUGE chicken breasts....they were almost a pound a piece. Boneless and skinless...not frozen junk...but fresh. I went on line to Zaycon foods to see what they were about. They buy these chickens fresh locally it says. Go on the site (I get a little credit for sending you), check them out, sign up under me and the next time they come to town, you will get an email telling what, where, when and how much. These breasts were $1.49 per pound, I saw them ON SALE at Publix for $2.99 per pound and they weren't nearly this big and pretty. I wouldn't recommend buying them unless you have the Foodsaver and bags to suck the air out of them. Check it out so you will be ready for the next time. https://www.zayconfoods.com/refer/zf40854 You'll have to type it in your search deal, I don't know how to make it a click deal. I'm cooking some tonight and I'll let you know how they come out!
