Hi all, I haven't shopped much this passed week, however payday is looming large ahead! I just ran across a goody you might want to stockpile for Fall/Winter or donate to your food pantry.
In the Publix Yellow Flyer that ends on 10/12, Publix has the Swanson Flavor Boosts 2 for $3.00. There is also a Publix coupon for $2 off 4 participating products, Swanson Boosts is one of them in the same flyer. We also have a coupon or .50/1 which will make those .50 each for us. They are great for making soups or sauces. I plan to buy 8 of them.
There were also several candy sales at Wags, CVS, Walmart and we have a ton of coupons. I think the best price I saw over all was at Walmart. I know our church collects candy for our Fall Festival, sure would be nice to get a deal on it!
The only thing I will go to Wags for is the Dawn Dish washing liquid for .99, we have the coupon for .75/1 in our August P & G.
CVS has Soft Soap Body washes for $3.50 each, if you buy 2 and use the .50/1 coupon we got today you will get a $4 ECB to use on something else. I think I actually have a $4 left from the other week. So....I will buy 2 at $7.00, minus my (2) .50/1 coupons, makes them $6, then I will use my ECB for $4, making them $2 OOP and get back $4 ECB. I like the sound of that. Then perhaps I can used the $4 ECB with some coupons for candy. I like that plan.
Walmart has several things..Sierra Mist or Crush are $1 for the big bottles. We just got a coupon in the Moments flyer for $1/2 making those .50 each if you buy 2. Carnation milk is .98 and we just got coupons for .50/2 making those .73 each....great for our holiday baking.
I will let you all know if I find any other nifty deals. Have a great week and God Bless. Rhonda Goff

Thursday 9/20
Ran in to Winn Dixie today only to get Rotel tomatoes...they were 10/10 and we had coups from SS 9/16 for .40/2 so those cost me .80 per can. I like to have them on hand for Chile Weather.....soon, please God. Bought some cheese that was on sale, and a couple of Organic items that were marked down. Didn't do much there. Spent $25.58 for $36.18 in goods. Also earned .05 off my next gas fill up.
Publix was next, I did 2 deals there. The first one was mainly meats...Spent $51.25 for $68.29 in meat...used one of my $5 off $30 Winn Dixie Coupons. 2nd deal.....we are having the kids/grand kids over on Sunday after church...so...the first deal included a ham for Sunday. Deal 2 is mostly the fixens...I did get a couple of good deals though. Pict Sweet Frozen Vegetables were bogo at $3.89 for 2, no coupons, but not a bad deal at $1.94 each. Alexia onion rings and sweet potato fries and reg fries were bogo at $3.79 for 2, we had coupons for .55/1 SS 9/16 making those $1.34 each. They are really good. Barilla Pasta Sauces were bogo at $2.89 for 2, or 1.45 each, no current coupons. Skintimate ladies shave creams were 2/$4, we had coupons for .55/1 from SS 8/12 making those $1.45 each. They had some really nice Organic peaches & nectartines, bananas and fresh green beans, so I did buy quite a few fruits & Veggies. The only down side to our weekly Organic Fruit & Veggie co-op, the amounts of things really doesn't allow for company, so I had to pick up some things. I used another of my WD $5 off $30 on this deal, so saved $10 in all with the two deals plus my coupons. Not a great day, but if I save a little, it's better than when I used to pay full price for everything! It's hard to find great deals on meat or organic fruits and vegetables, but I figure it's less trips to the doctor when you eat better food.....so we win anyway!
Have a great weekend all, let me know if you find some great deals. God Bless.....Rhonda Goff

Walgreens Balance Reward Program. This is from DivineDealDiva...
Walgreens New Balance Rewards Program
Walgreens is introducing a new Rewards program this week (Beginning 9/16). Each time you shop Walgreens you will earn Balance Rewards (points). They are similar to CVS and Rite-Aids loyalty reward programs with the exception that Walgreens wants to reward you for living a happy, healthy and well balanced life and will award you Balance Rewards.
You may have noticed in your weekly sales ad the new program. Instead of Register Rewards that you would normally earn on items, you will earn points. (Walgreens will begin phasing out the majority of Register Rewards earned in the past by end of 2012)
You can sign up for the New Balance Rewards Card HERE. If you do not want to carry around another loyalty card, you can choose to just use your phone number just like at CVS.
You can earn thousand of points on many of the items you buy now. Earn points every time you shop or fill a prescription at Walgreens. If you are an online Walgreens shopper, you can earn the Balance Reward Points just as if you were shopping in store. Don’t forget that you can also get immunizations from your Walgreen’s Pharmacist (in select locations) and earn more points.
Can I Use Coupons?
Yes you can even use coupons just like we do today on your purchases. With the new Balance Rewards program you will even earn points in the same transaction when you buy multiple items. Unlike the Register Rewards you could not. For example: Buy 1 pack of toilet paper and earn 500 points, Buy 2 packs of the same toilet paper and earn 1,000 points.
Do my points ever expire?
Your Balance Reward points will expire 36 months from the day you earn them. If you are not an active shopper at Walgreens within 6 months of earning the points they may expire sooner.
Redeeming Points:
You can redeem your points instantly once you have 5,000 points you can redeem INSTANTLYfor a $5.00 Reward (as if using a $5.00 Register Reward). No cash will be given in place of rewards; they are converted to redemption dollars.
This chart will help with the breakdown:
What if I need to return an Item that earned Balance Reward Points?
If you have to return an item that earned points, they will be deducted from your points account.
Rain Checks:
Walgreens will still give Rain checks, but the Point Promotions will not apply to rain check purchases that are purchases AFTER the promotion has ended. This is the same policy as before with Register Rewards.
Some Exclusions May Apply:
Balance Reward Points will not be earned on and Redemption points can’t be used on alcohol, dairy, lottery tickets, money orders, phone cards, stamps, tobacco lottery tickets.
Points Expiration:
Be patient when checking out over the next (2) two weeks, because it will take a few extra minutes to get everyone signed up for the program. YOU can sign up today online

Pretty good shops today, nothing major, but still all in all, good.
First stop was Dollar Tree. I bought single roll Bounty Basic paper towels were, of course, $1 per roll, I had coups for .25 off each, got those for .75 per roll, bought 5. Those coupons are in your P & G for September. Libbys canned vegetable were .79 per can, I had coupons for $1 off 4 cans (Redplum 8/26, making those .54 per can. I looked at a couple of other things, but the sizes weren't right. I did buy (without coupons) Dial soaps were 3/$1, so bought 12 bars even without coupons. Our coupons for those expired on 9/9 I think. I had 20 items and my total was $15.84. Not too bad.
Next stop, CVS. Deal 1 CVS had the deal going that if you spent $20 on Nexxus products, you would get $10 back in ECBs. My Nexxus comb through hair spray was $12.79 each. I bought 2 and also had (2) $3/1 coupons that I printed from one of the coupon sites. Bought 2 of the Hershey's candies $3 each with a $1/2 coupon and made $2 ECB on that. So, spent $24.58 for all and got back $12 ECBs. Deal 2 I bought a pkg of Breathrite Nasal strips for $12.99 (no coupon) and 2 of the Colgate 360 Clean toothbrushes which were $2.99 each, had two coupons for $1/1, got back $2 ECB for each one, that was a break even deal. I had to get 1 filler item to make my coupon count come out right. I used my $12 ECBs and the 2 $1/1 coupons, making that total $6.97! and got back $4 ECB's to use for next time I go. Total Savings was $28.97 divided by total value of $60.52 48% savings! I call that a win.
3rd stop, Publix. They still had the Truvia sweeteners on sale for $2.99 for the 40ct. package and thank you Redplum this past weekend for the $2 off 1 coupons, I bought 4 for .99 each! Wish I had more coupons for those. I think I've only bought Truvia once since the Food Lion's closed, I had really stocked up on those during that time.
Okay, that's my story and I'm stickin to it! God Bless.....Rhonda Goff

Well, I have not seen much in the sale flyers. I HAD to go to Target for a wedding gift, while I was there, I notice they had Tyson Chicken Strips (Cheddar/Jalapeno and Cheddar/Bacon) on mark down at $3.99 per bag. I looked for coupons, found a .75/1 for the Nuggets...wonder if that would work? Might be worth a try.
Stopped at Wags for one thing only.......They had Wet & Wild nail polishes for $1.49, this past weekend, we got coupons from SS for $1/1 making those .49 each. They had some real fun colors. Those will go into my stash for Christmas gift bags.
Other than that, I was not impressed with either Wags, CVS or Target. Wags is coming out with a new deal for us next week. Watch and see. I think it will involve a card, but I don't really know how it will all play out. I sure hope they don't restrict us like CVS by only letting us do 1 deal! I may have to take my business elsewhere if that is the case.
When the food ads come out, we'll see what those do for us. Til then, God Bless....Rhonda Goff

Friday 9/7/12
I finally went out to shop yesterday....I really had to hunt for deals! Not much out there for sure. My first stop was Walmart. I needed some things from there that are not traditionally on sale, but I have found Walmart every day low prices to be less than most of the stores. Anyway, when you go to Walmart, there are several different aisles in the store where they have a row of mark-downs. No rhyme or reason to them, you just have to look. A friend had told me that canning jars were marked down so I went hunting. I found them in the mark down aisle and had coupons to boot for $1/1case, bought 2 cases. I bought them for $6.27 each after my coupons, they came with the lids. I also bought some Kozy Shack sugar free pudding cups, they were not on sale but I had a coupon for $1/2 making those $1.98 each. That was about it for Walmart.
Next Stop, CVS. Don't forget when you are at CVS to stop by the cashier, use your card to sign up for next year's double your ECB's. I think it starts in January. My main purpose was to find new skin care items called Nuance. Luckily, they were buy one get one for 50% off. I spent $40.91 for 2 types of cleansers, one day/night cream and 1 oil Elixir. Without the sale, I would have spent $54.56. Geez, skin care is really expensive, but.....what do you do as you get older? Bought another Colgate Optic White which was $2.99, had a coupon for .75/1 from SS 8/12 and got back $1ECB. I also opted to buy the Earth Essence Paper towels for $3.99 for the 8 pack, no coupon.
On to Walgreens I stopped there for the Reynolds Wrap for $1.59 for the 30 yd boxes, I had $1/1 coupons, so I bought 4 for .59 each. SS 8/19. Then, Quilted Northern Ultra Plush bath tissue was $3.49 for the 9 roll pack, bought 2 and used my $1/1 coupons making those .28 per roll which is not too bad for decent tissue. The Northern coupons I printed.
Publix...not a lot happening there this week. They had New England brand coffee bogo at $7.69, I had written to the company and they sent me coupons for .50/1, so those ended up costing me $3.34 each. The Maruchan Yakisoba Japanese Noodles were bogo at .99 had coups for .50/1 from SS 8/26, so I made .02 on those. Lou Ann Canola oil was bogo at $4.15 for 2, no coupon, but I think there may be a printable one available. The darn Magnum Ice Cream bars were bogo at $3.99 for 2, thank goodness my coupons expired on 8/26....but still a good deal at $3.99...NO I did not buy more! Pedigree Dentastix for my girls (dogs) were bogo at $3.59, I printed coupons from coupons.com for those, $1/1, so I got those for .79 per package. That is about all I found there....not a great sale week. However, we do still have to eat, right?
Maybe next week will be better. Take care and if you find some great deals, let us know! God Bless....Rhonda Goff
