I did well earlier in the week, our church needed candy for our Fall Festival, so I shopped the Wags sales with my coupons and got a ton of candy and saved $27. I also earned a ton of reward points, which I need to find out how to use them???? I haven't done that yet.
Yesterday, I shopped the Publix sales. Here's a few of my better deals. Bear in mind, getting ready for our Thanksgiving trip to North Carolina, and we always take a load of goodies to the kids when we go to stay.
Totinos Pizzas....my son in law loves them...were 4/$5...found coups on Coupons.com for $1/4, making those $1 each. Totinos Pizza rolls were bogo at $4.29 for 2 bags, had coupons for .40/2, big whoop right?, coupon from 8/5 SS made those $1.95 per bag. Caribou Ground Coffee was bogo at $9.99 for 2, had coupons from SS 9/16 for $2/1, making those $2.99 per bag. Libbys Skinny fruits were $1ea, had coupons from RP 8/26 for $1/4, making those .75 each. Bar S hotdogs were bogo at $1.49 for 2, had coupons for .75/2 making those .37 per package.....whoo hoo. McCormick spices were NOT on sale, but had a coupon (coupons.com) for $1.75/2, so those were a better than normal deal. Activia yogurts were 4pk for $2, had coupons from SS 9/16 for .75/1, making those $1.25 each. Bounty paper towels and Charmin Bath Tissue were $10.99 for the big packages....don't normally buy them because the coupons are like .25/1...big deal...but there is a promotion going on through 10/31 where if you spend $30 on P & G products in 1 shopping trip, you can earn a free set of Pink cooking utensils. The set last year was a baking set and was really nice. The forms are behind the counter at customer service and their are a ton of different products that qualify. I also bought the Aussie hair care and Herbal Essence hair care products were were on sale for 2/$5, had coupons $1/1from RP 10/7, making those $1.50 each. Those will go into some of my Christmas gift bags. Publix brand onion soup mix (which is just as good as Liptons) was only .99 each. I bought some meat and vegetables & fruits also and the fixins for Chile for Fla/Ga game too.
I felt like the shop was a pretty good one...although I spent more than I have in a long time!!! However, I saved $140.08, spent $201.64.
Also, don't forget about Dollar Trees, from what I've been reading, some folks are doing pretty well there with coupons. Need to check them out every so often. Have a great rest of the weekend. God Bless....Rhonda Goff

Thursday 10/18/12
Well, I didn't really shop last week, just picked up a few things here and there....big mistake! You know how that goes. I did Publix today with the newest ad and did fairly well.
Bought Jingo's....boy are they good, of course almost anything Peppridge Farm puts their name on is good! They were 2 boxes for $4, I had coupons for $1/1 making them $1 per box. Tombstone Pizzas were bogo, did not have a coupon, bought them anyway for $3.15 each. Eckrich Sausage was bogo, $2.99/2 and I printed coupons from coupons.com for 55/1 making those .94 each. Fructise shampoo and conditioners were $2.99 each, had coups for $1/1 from RP 10/21, making those $1.99 each. Playtex Tampons were bogo for $4.59 for 2, had $1/1 (printed from coupons.com), making those $1.29 each. Bought Bridgeford frozen bread dough to make my cinny buns or should I say "sinny" buns, no coupon. Fab laundry soap was bogo $3.99/2 and I had coupons for $1.50 off/3....bought 6 for $1.49 each. Coupons were in the SS 9/30. Finish DW soaps were bogo for the Gel caps and the Quantum, coupons from SS 10/14....50/1 of the gelcaps and .75/1 of the Quantums. They ended up at 6.99 for 2, bought 4, 2 of each, for $2.87 each. Angel Soft tissue was 2 4-roll packs of the double rolls for $5, we had .25/1, they cost me .56 per roll. Glade Candles were 2/$5, printed coupons off coupons.com for $1/2, making those $2 each. Lysol wipes were bogo and this included the ones with the scrubby stuff on one side for $4.89 for 2, had coups from SS 10/14 for .50 off 2 (Big Whoop, could they spare it?) making those $2.19 each. Getting ready for cold & flu season, Coridican HBP products were $5.69 each, got coups from SS last weekend for $3/1, so only paid $2.69 for those. Bought a roast, deli lunch meat, cheese, flour and brown sugar, potatoes...all with no coupons. I won't be buying laundry soap or dishwasher soap for a good long time! I also used my $5/$55 WD coupon, so that helped. Spent $139.27 for $233.86 in groceries. I felt very successful. I hope you'all do well too. Maybe sales are picking up a bit for us.
That's it for me this week, God Bless and shop smart, I know you all do. Rhonda Goff

Tuesday 10/2/12
My shop from Monday, 10/1 is as follows. Not everything that I listed on the previous blog worked out....I forgot that it was October, so my September P & G coupons were gonners....oh well, I did okay anyway.
First stop, CVS, first off, when I ran my card through the machine, I got a ton of coupons and one for $3.50 off anything. Deal 1 They had Soft soap body washes $3.50 each, we had coupons from this past Sunday for .50/1, making those $6.00, I had an ECB left from the other week for $4, making my oop $2, and got back $4 ECB. I had to include a filler item to make the coupons come out right. Deal 2, I needed a personal care item that was $12.79, used my $3.50 coupon and my $4 ECB from the previous deal used a filler item and spent $6.38. Total spent was $9.27 for $24.75 in products.
Next stop was Walmart. I bought the campbells good for cookin soups were $1 each, had coupons for .40/4 coupons from SS 9/16 making those .90 each. Don't know about you, but I use those in everything and .90 isn't half bad for them. They had Heinz Homestyle beans for $1 each, we had coupons for .50/2 from SS 9/23, making those .75 each. Carnation canned milk (for our holiday baking) was .98 each, we had coups for .50/2 from RP 9/30 making those .73 each. The Orange Crush and Sierra mist was supposed to be $1, I found that it was NOT. I'll check back later on that. Estracell Sponges were 2 in a package for .97, we have coups for .50/2 package making those .72 for 2 sponges. Stayfree Pads....2 different types 14-24 count were $2.86, we have coups for $2/1 from SS 8/26 making those .86 each. Cover Girl powder puffs/sponge puffs were $2.94, we have coups for $3/2 from P & G Oct, making those $1.44 each. Dove mens body wash was $3.47, we have coupons for $2/1 from RP 9/30 (I think) making those $1.47. Total before coupons was $84.46, after coupons was $57.26, not too bad. Was able to get some things for Food Pantry.
Publix next.....Uncle Bens 5 pound bags of rice was bogo at $7.79 for 10 pounds! I printed a coupon from coupons.com for $1/3 Uncle Bens Products, so I bought 6 bags of rice 30 pounds for $21.37 and was able to use my $5/30 WD coupon when all was said and done, so the rice cost me about .55 per pound. 2 bags for us, 2 bags for Ashley and 2 bags for Food Pantry. The other thing I went for was the Swanson Flavor Boosts, Publix had them 2/$3 (each package holds 4 of them), there was a Coupon in the Yellow flyer for $2 off 4 of the items and we have coupons for .50 off each....bottom line is they costs us .50 for 4 in the package and they had several different flavors. Bought a couple of other things I needed, but only spent $31.61 for $73.90 in food.
I felt the day went pretty well. I still haven't been over to Wags to sign up for my new card or to shop, they just really haven't had anything on sale to temp me! Maybe next week. Okay, have a great week, the Publix rice deal I think ends tomorrow and the Swanson stuff goes through 10/12 I think. Check it out.
