Walgreens Sale

Ok, so first I have to say that after thinking about this, it makes more sense to only post Walgreens match-ups on Sunday or later (Since the coupons don't come out until Sunday and I personally don't like to look them up before hand because we may not get all the coupons advertised to come out.)  So, after today I will only post Walgreens match-ups on Sundays or later.

That said, I will post match-ups today (with old coupons-a lot that expire tomorrow, and probably re-post again tomorrow or Monday with the new coupons that will come out Sunday).  If your confused sorry!!  Just read today's post if you have old coupons and read tomorrows post if you are new to couponing and won't have any coupons until tomorrow's paper :)

Walgreens Match-Up
Aveeno: 25% off and there is a nice $2/1 Q at www.coupons.com and you can search for it.  It's for Aveeno smart essentials!

Febreeze: 25% off and there is an old B1 Febreeze Fabric Refresh and G1 Air Effects FREE!! (P & G insert)

Nivea Lotion: B1G1 50% off and there is a great $1/1 Q at www.coupons.com so click the link to get it!

Head and Shoulders: On sale, 2/8 with a 2RR.  There is a good $1/2 (old P & G insert) and a B1G1 Q (also from P & G), if you use both coupons it equals out to 3/5 or 1.66 each!  Without the B1G1 it's 2/5 or 2.50 each!  Both good deals.

Colgate: Wisp on sale for 1.99 plus 0.50 Q from last weeks SS makes it 1.49 each.
Colgate Toothpaste is also on sale 2/5 with 1 RR, there is a 0.50 Q (I think from last weeks SS) that makes them 2/3.50 or 1.75 each, if you have 2 0.50 Q's it'd be a little better (1.50 per tube).  (Depending on if you have a price list created this may not be a good deal, as there are times when you can get toothpaste for 0.50 per tube or less.)

Soleil:  B1G1 50% off and there is a 3/1 Q from a week or more ago.  Depending on the cost of the razors this may be a good deal?  (will let you know tomorrow..)

Scope: On sale 2/6 plus a 3RR.  There is a 0.75 Q (can't remember where it's from or how old) but that makes it 1.13 per bottle, if you use 2 it's 0.75 cents per bottle-this is a GREAT deal!


Walgreens is also having a big sale on Personal Care Items from Gillette, Old Spice, Secret, Mach 3 and misc. other items.  I'm just going to post some Q's you can use (these are all older Q's from P & G that will expire tomorrow and depending on the price of the items on sale, these may or may not be a good deal.  Remember to use your calculator to see if you are really getting a good deal!):
Gillette B1G1 Free Body Wash
Gillette Deodorant $2/1
Old Spice $1/2 Deodorant
Old Spice B1 Deodorant G1 Old Spice Free (if you combine this Q with the above Q this will probably be a good deal, again depends on prices at the store)
Secret B2 Deodorant G1 Free Spray
Mach 3 $3/1
Mach 3 B1 Disposable Razor G1 Free Gillette Shave Cream Free (If you combine this Q with the above Q it will probably be a good deal, same applies as previous stated that it depends on store prices)

Tampax: 6.99 with 2RR and use the old (P & G I think) $1/1 makes it 3.99 per box

Gillette Pro Series Razor (on back page of ad): 9.99 with 4RR and the $4/1 Q (there are old ones from P & G and apparently this weeks P  & G will have another) makes the razor 1.99.  This is a good deal because they usually come with 2 cartridges!

Hope everyone has a great shopping trip tomorrow, please let me hear about all the good deals you get and if you find one that I didn't list here let me know!  I love hearing about savings!!!!  Also, don't forget we are expecting the new Proctor and Gamble insert tomorrow, so get it while it's hot! :)

(Walgreens match-ups tomorrow as promised!)

Grocery Store Sales/Match Ups 7/27-8/2

Each week I will do my best to post a few of the good sales going on at our local grocery stores.  I plan on doing match ups for Summer Fresh, Price Cutter, Harter House and Walgreens. 

It's my goal to do Grocery Store match-ups on either Wednesday or Thursday and Walgreens match-ups on Saturday evening/Sunday afternoon.  (The reasoning behind this being; the grocery store sales run from Wednesday to Tuesday, and the Walgreens ad comes out early-with the sale for Walgreens starting Sundays)  Of course you can always find the sale ads in the Marshfield Mail every wednesday.

Summer Fresh Deals:
Whole Chicken Fryers 0.69 cents/lb!!  (really good deal on these bc they typically are 0.99 cents or more)
Fresh Ground Chuck 1.79/lb (sold in a 3lb roll, limit 3)
Kraft Singles 1.99
Snuggle Dryer Sheets 1.99
Wisk 5.49 (and if anyone bought Wisk this week at Walgreens, a  lot of them had tags for $2/1.  There was also a $2/1 Q in one of the inserts a few weeks back).  With a $2/1 Q it would make the wisk 3.49!!!
There is also a coupon at the bottom of the S.F. ad for $10 off of $50.00 purchase!!

Price Cutter Deals:
Kraft Salad Dressing 1.49 (0.30 cents cheaper than Harter House this week)
Chicken Breast Tenders 4.49 per bag
Land O'Frost Lunch meat 2.99 or Land O'Frost Shaved Lunch Meat 2/5
They are also having a sale on many of their Quaker Snacks (I love trying new things on sale in case I don't like them I didn't spend a ton!

Harter House Deals
80% lean Burger 1.99lb (depend on how you like your burger, consider S.F. for a better deal)
Broccoli 0.99 cents per pound
Hormel Pork Tenderloin B1G1 FREE (good deal here, especially if you have any unexpired $1/1 still around-these were a quite a few inserts back though so they may be no good any longer)
Velveeta 2.89 (limit 1)
Hamburger Helper Twin Pack 1.99 (really good deal if you still have the $0.75/3 boxes.  You could get 3 twin packs (6 boxes) for just a little over 5 bucks, making them only 0.87 cents per box!!

Happy shopping folks!!

Giving Credit Where Credit is Due

Since starting to coupon I have gotten a lot of information from many different places.  I figured that I better give a little credit to the people who have helped me figure this stuff out!

1st.  Youtube, search IamTHATlady.  She did a series of 5 coupon 101 classes that I watched in the hospital because I was bored, and my husband insisted I learn to coupon.

2nd.  Baby Center Community, search the groups for Coupon Newbies.  The ladies that run that board and all the members of it (thousands) have helped me with so many questions!!  They still help me :)

3rd.  Google.  LOL you can google anything

4th but more important than all the above.  I wouldn't have been encouraged to start teaching a class for others to learn to coupon if I didn't have the encouragement from my best friend!  She was the one that really pushed me, without her I'd still be boring my husband and my mom with all my informatin LOL. 

Of course there are other people that I appreciate (I love talking savings with my mom) and my husband is amazing (he goes along with all the crazy ideas). 

I really am excited to start teaching classes (scheduled my first one for august 8th, can't wait) and I'm hoping this blog helps people too!  Feel free to post comments, questions and I'll make sure I do my best to answer them all!

Sell Yourself

So, went to wal-mart during my lunch today, (needed to get diapers and unfortunatly Wal-Mart always gets my business when it comes to buying diapers in bulk-did have 2 coupons though so it's good).  Anyway, I love this time of year when all the school supplies are out and since I need supplies to start my coupon class I shopped :)

Got to the check out line and was chatting with the cashier, I told her I do a coupon class (ok fibbed a little since I'm JUST now starting to teach them) and she was interested!  So, gave her my name and number and the address for this blog...it makes me super excited to think about teaching people how to save money! 

On a savings note, a lady I know told me today that Toys R Us has diapers on sale for 5.00!!!  I googled it and sure enough, however the sale ends today.  If you were able to cash in on that deal good for you! 

Free Weekend!

Great shopping trips this weekend!

First-Harter House in Strafford, MO.  They had General Mills cereal on sale for 1.99.  I had a coupon that I printed from coupons.com for .50 off of one box of honey nut cheerios and a coupon for 1.00 off any two General Mills cereal (from the Sunday paper)!  I got two boxes and spent 1.98 (Harter House doubles up to 0.50 cents, which I didn't know until Saturday!!)  which means I got a box of cereal for FREE and one for 0.01 LESS than the sale price! I also had a coupon that I got in the mail for Rotel, buy 3 get one free.  The Rotel was on sale for 0.99, so I got 1 for free (or 4 cans at 0.74 per can)!  TWO fantastic deals at Harter House.  This sale will run until Tuesday!!

Second trip which was today to Walgreens got me 2 free Oral-B toothbrushes and 2 free boxes of Snuggle Dryer Sheets!  The Oral-B toothbrushes were on sale, 2/4.98 with a $3.00 RR.  I had a $2.00 off of 2 Oral-B Indicator toothbrushes(from the 7/1 P&G insert), which made the toothbrushes free (after RR), OR 1.49 each with $3 in RR for next purchase!!  The Snuggle was free with the purchase of one Wisk product.  Wisk was on sale for 6.99, but I used a $2.00 off coupon (can't remember which insert this was from, sorry!!) and that made the laundry soup 4.99.  (Also, to make the deal even sweeter there was a $2.00 off coupon attached to the bottle for the NEXT trip, so it was like getting my coupons back!!).

All in all it was a great shopping trip, ending me with 2 free boxes of snuggle, 2 free toothbrushes, 1 free can of rotel, and one free box of cereal!!

Let me know if you scored any great deals!!

Here we go again...

So, after my first failed attempt at writing a blog...here I am again.
This time the blog will be mostly focused on couponing.

A lot of friends and family have requested me to teach them about couponing and while I am NO expert I do know a little bit.  My goal is to use this blog as a way to share my knowlege and hopefully encourage everyone to save some money!

I will try to blog daily, but I know my self and the reality is that it probably won't happen that frequently-more like once a week...but I promise I will try.  I will post information on couponing, any good deals, and other general info. related to couponing. 

I HOPE to at some point be able to do coupon match-ups for the Marshfield Area included match-ups for Summer Fresh, Price Cutter, Harter House and Walgreens. 

I hope this blog is helpful to everyone reading it, please leave any feedback or tips!!
