Last minute things!

Just wanted to check in with everyone since it's friday and we are on the down hill slope to the weekend!  So a few quickies!

Looks like there are a bunch of yard sales around town this weekend, so if you are still on the hunt for fall clothes, check some of them out.  If you are on Facebook search for the Online Yardsale Marshfield and request to be added so that you can stay in the know on upcoming sales! :)

Second if you haven't already made your grocery list-get on it!  :)  Start with your meal plan first, and don't forget to check the sales (refer to yesterday's post for match-ups).  There are some good deals around this week :) and it looks like a good weekend for Steak at Harter House!

Third (and maybe most important) it looks like we should be expecting the P & G Brand Saver in this Sunday's newspaper, so put it on your to-buy list so you don't forget!!  :)

I also thought I'd throw in this link again incase you are having a date night :)  Click here and sign up for Chili's Newletter to get a FREE queso and chips appetizer!!

Happy Friday!!

Ok, totally wanted to do more with this post but my internet is not cooperating.  So, I guess I'll edit this tomorrow.  Have a fantastic evening.

10/10 sales

(Disclaimer: I'm posting this after having just finished my grocery shopping trip and getting annoyed at the store being totally wiped out of certain items I planned on purchasing for very very cheap)

I wanted to post about 10/10 sales today because after recent discussions on this current trend and a very disappointing trip to Price Cutter I thought education may be needed ;).

When a store advertises a 10/10 sale, unless they specify that you MUST buy 10 items to get them for a $1.00, then you do not have to buy 10 items.  I repeat you do NOT have to buy 10 items to get them for a $1.00 unless the store specifies this in their ad!!!

Walgreens typically does specify this, but I have yet to see this specified at our local stores (ie: Price Cutter, Summer Fresh, Harter House).  So, mix and match items or only buy 1 or 2 if you only need a couple things.

Hope everyone is having a great day! Don't forget to get the Sunday paper tomorrow and get your Walgreens shopping list ready!

And if you haven't already made a guess on my Facebook page to win the gas card, then head over to One Brand's Savings @ Facebook!!

Friday Reminders!

Just wanted to give you guys a few reminders!
1.) If you are going shopping this weekend don't forget to set your budget and make your list!  Shop the sale ads from Wednesday's Marshfield Mail and use my blog post of Match-Ups to get the best deals out there! 

2.) If you are stockpiling, take note that spaghettie noodles are cheap cheap this week at Harter House for only $0.89!! 

3.) Tomorrow is the give away on my facebook page.  If you read along here and you have not "Liked" my facebook page do it today!!  Tomorrow I will post the question and you will have all day to guess!!

4.) Tomorrow is Saturday and the last day of this weeks Walgreens ad AND the SaturDate with beauty sale!!  Dove products are on sale 4/$15 and there are ALL kinds of coupons out there to use!! ;)

Happy Friday!!

Looks like this is a great week to stock up on some freezer items (chicken tenders and hamburger).  Don't forget to check what you already have in the cabinets and freezer before heading out to shop to make sure you don't buy something you don't need :)!  Happy Shopping everyone, as always don't forget to let me know what kind of deals you find!!

Preparation is Key!!

When it comes time for grocery shopping (whether you are using coupons or not, but ESPECIALLY if you are using coupons) preparation (ie: planning) is the KEY to a good (ie: lots of savings) shopping trip!

The way I prepare for my shopping trips is by following 3 rules!  Budget, Meal Plan and List, and Sales

First Budget:
Set your budget before ever making your grocery list for the week.  If you do a monthly budget already this should be easy, however if you do not do a monthly budget and are unsure of how much you typically spend on groceries then I suggest you sit down and give this some good thought.  If you don't typically set a budget decide early on whether you want to shop for 1 week of groceries, 2 weeks, 3 or even 4.  (For myself I have found that shopping for just 1 week of groceries at a time I can save the most money since the sales are new each week.  By shopping just once per week I'm able to get the things I need and usually have a little extra for those stock up items when they go on sale-ex:noodles, sauce, sugar).  When I first started couponing we were spending about $170-$200 every two weeks on groceries (and toiletries, household, diapers) which adds up to $400 a month!!  (WAY WAY WAY too much in my opinion).  I'v now been able to drop my grocery spending to about $70 a week (including toiletries, household, diapers) which is only $280 a month (a savings of $120 a month).  My current goal is to drop that down to only $50 a week.

Second Meal Plan and Make a list:
Make your meal plan for the week (or however long you'll go between shopping trips) by looking at the sale ads. I repeat MAKE YOUR MEAL PLAN BY LOOKING AT THE SALE ADS.  The most expensive part of your bill will be meat, so watch for meat sales and base your weekly dinner around what is on sale.  From there ad on your sides, snacks, and anything else you'll need to EAT that week.  Make your grocery list from you meal plan list and check your coupon binder or folder to see what you coupons you have for sale items that week.

Finally Sales:
This kind of goes with the steps above but I want to reiterate how important sales are.  As I said above meat is expensive, if you can cut down the meat price by buying the sale items then do it!  Another way to save on meat/meals is if you can buy sale meat in bulk to put in your freezer and do multiple meals ex: HH had hamburger patties last week for $5.99 for 10, that made about 3 meals for my family at only $0.89 per burger!!  It's quick, easy, and CHEAP)

So I've got a little challenge for you!!  If you haven't started couponing or saving much money on your groceries yet then I am challenging you to spend at least $15.00 less this week (or in the next two weeks, whenever you'll be shopping) on your groceries (this means food items only, not toiletries, household, or diapers).
If you have been couponing and following the above steps for a while and have already cut down your bill then I challenge you to find a way to cut $5.00 more dollars off of it!  IF you just don't think you can cut down the $5.00 then add $5.00 TO your budget and spend $10.00 on food you can donate to the local food pantry or local church!

I bet you can do it by watching the sale ads alone!!  Good luck and Happy shopping-and yes, I'll expect feed back :)

Better Late Than Never, Match-ups for 8/3/11 through 8/9/11

Yes, I've been slow this week, but I'm totally off routine between my Uncle getting married and work being a little different this week (had to go to Seymour today for WIC) so, my whole schedule is totally off whack, but I've finally gotten the Grocery Store match-up's done.

Tomorrow I'm going to try and post some match-ups for this weeks Dollar General Ad because it looks like there are going to be a few good scores there! :)

Expiration Dates

Well friends, the beginning of the new month is a bitter sweet time; it's bitter sweet because while it marks the new edition of the P & G Brand Saver insert (sometimes I ask myself, is my life that boring that I get excited for new coupon inserts?) but it also marks the end of the previous month and that usually means expiration dates.  And no, I don't mean the expiration dates on your milk jugs I mean expiration dates for your coupons.

I know that it sounds like a SIN to let a coupon expire without using it, but I'm here to tell you that it's OK (though very heart wrenching) to let your coupons expire and to (don't shoot me) THROW THEM AWAY!  The main point here is this: Just because you have a coupon, doesn't mean you have to use it.  If the item the coupon is for doesn't go on sale before it expires and it isn't something you NEED, then it's probably not going to save you much money just to use the coupon because you have it.  So, wait for the sale, if it doesn't come and the coupon expires IT'S OK!!  (Of course if the item is something you NEED and the sale never comes and it's a GOOD coupon ie: a high value coupon, or your store will double it) then go ahead and make the purchase with the coupon if it fits your budget and is on your grocery list.

At the beginning of each month (I usually do it at the same time I cut my new P & G coupons) go through your binder, or file folder, (or if your old school, your envelope LOL) and clear out all the expired coupons.  (Go ahead, cry a little if you need to; it IS sad to see the savings go into the trash, but just tell yourself it isn't saving if it isn't on sale) and then look at all the brand new coupons your about to cut-this will usually cheer me up :)!

Tomorrow I will be posting the store match-up's for Harter House, Price Cutter, and Summer Fresh.  I hope everyone remembered to pick up their Marshfield Mail today, if not you still have time!

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!!

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!!
