Coupons slated to reset tomorrow - print/load what you want today


If there are any Cellfire coupons you are interested in with the current listing, you need to go to their site today and load them to your card. Whatever you load today will be good for 2 weeks from today. Then tomorrow you can go back to their site and load the new coupons being released. I tend to load all their coupons to my Randalls (Safeway affiliate) card. Sometimes when I use my card, identical coupons will come off for a single purchase. The thing I like about loading to my Randalls card as oppossed to Kroger is that if I use a paper coupon due to a higher value, the loadable will just void off my order and I am allowed to use the paper coupon in its place.

Also, you might want to hop over to SavingStar as I have seen a few new coupons to load to your card CVS and Kroger cards.
And finally check out Coupons.com for any coupons you might want to print. Tomorrow, we should have a few new ones released. YIPPEE!

P&G run at HEB and a few scenarios and CHEAP Almonds


There is a pretty HOT deal on Swiffer right now at HEB but some of the good coupons expire today, so you will need to try to run this deal today. In the 10-2 P&G insert there was a Buy any Swiffer starter kit, get a free refill (up to $7)
Working this in to the current promo going at HEB (Buy $30 worth of P&G items, get $10 oynso back) you can do a deal similar to mine:

2 Swiffer Duster starter kits $4.44 each
2 Swiffer sweeper wet refills $7.97 each
2 Covergirl eyeliner pencils $2.18 each
1 Vicks cough drops .99
=$30.17
-14 -2 bogo Swiffer coupons, although mine auto deducted the $7.97(expires today)
-$2 -2  $1 off Swiffer starter kit YQ (yellow in store coupons for HEB)
-2.50 - 2 $1.25 YQ for any Covergirl (you can also add in 2 $1 Covergirl manuf coupons or 1 $2.50/2 since these are B coupons but I didn't want to argue since Covergirl coupons beep)
-$1 - any Vicks product 10-2 or 10-30 P&G
=$10.67 or even lower
(your price can vary depending if they auto your Swiffer and whether you use manuf Covergirl coupons with the B YQs)
Earn back $10 oyso making these items just .67!!!!!!!

Also, there is a HOT catalina deal right now out for Blue Diamond products.  Buy 2 get .75, Buy 3 get $1.50, buy 4 or more get $4 oynso.
HEB currently has the 6 oz Almonds on sale for just $1.99 each and we have insert coupons for $1/2 in the 10-16 SS. So
Buy 4 @ 1.99 = $7.96
-2  - 2 $1/2 insert
= $5.96 but earn $4 oynso (thanks Iluv2shop)
so $1.96/4 = .49 a can for almonds YES!!!!!
I am not sure how long the sale price is good but the catalina is good until November 6th.  Look at the registers and on sidekicks for almonds as I found displays around the store for these.

A few other decent P&G scenarios you can run
If you really like Olay facial moisturizers:
2 Olay moisturizers $17.47 each
2 Cover Girl lip perfection $4.94
=$44.82
-9.88 - 2 free lip perfection wyb Olay moisturizer insert 10-30 P&G
-$2.50 - 2 $1.25 Cover girl B YQ
-$10/2 Olay moisturizers 9-25 RP (expires today)
=$22.44 oop but earn $10 oynso and mail in for $10 Olay rebate
So cost of $2.44 for two nice moisturizers and lipsticks

or if you need Tampax
8 Tampax Pearl compak $3.99 each
=$31.92
-$15.96 - 4 bogo Tampax insert 10-2 P&G(expires today)
-$4 - 4 $1 Tampax insert 10-2 P&G
=$11.96 earn $10 oynso so
$1.96/8 = .25 a box

If you are a Tide lover
4 Tide $ 7.54 each
=$30.16
-8 - 4 $2 insert or $2 YQ in stores
=$22.16 earns $10 oynso so
$12.16/4 = $3.04 a bottle

You can certainly mix and match these deals too, these are just a few suggestions

Thanks SD buds for help with some of these scenarios

Wow! I am so jealous of you guys getting to head over to the Dollar General .10 clearance sale this morning. One reader in Texas City was kind enough to read my request for pictures and send me this picture. I am just gonna have to live vicariously through my readers on this deal as the texts to my husband begging him to go are not prompting action. lol

Reader Kari got the following items for the bargain price of $4.32 with a savings of $70!!!!!!
3 Garden flag/Pole sets ($6 regular)
3 Hooded Zipper sweatshirts ($14 regular)
Assorted little garden and bubble items.
Sweet!
Reader Mariah sent in this shot of her haul she paid .54 on the items pictured.










Wowee!!! Check out Amy's haul from her store!

She really found some smoking HOT barbeque accessories and some Miracle Gro my dh would kill for!  (I was informed the candy is from the CVS deal so don't look for that in Dollar General, lol)
$1.73 for all you see pictured, WOW!!!!


Feel free to send in those pics readers, though I am completely jealous.

Wal*mart Holiday Price Matching Guarantee 2011


WOW! Walmart is really working hard to keep sales this year. Not sure if you guys have heard, but this year, experts are expecting the sales to be down for brick and mortar retailers as more shoppers go online or just do without this upcoming holiday season. Well, Walmart apparantly wants to capture your sale and keep it by offering a price match guarantee on any purchases at Walmart or on Walmart.com between Nov 1 and Dec 25.
According to reports (actual Walmart website link) just keep your receipt for any purchases made from November 1st until Christmas Day. If you find a lower price advertised in a print ad for any local competitor, Walmart will match it by giving you a giftcard in the amount of the price difference!

Hmmm, this should make shopping this holiday season a little less stressful. According to one report, layaway purchases are also eligible but Black Friday ads and internet pricing will NOT be.

Read more about it here and here.

Randalls (Safeway) - Trying to come up with frozen food scenarios


I have to admit I perused the frozen food aisle of Safeway and nothing jumped out at me for an awesome deal using the 30% off coupon in the ad. I already mentioned this deal:

4 Red Baron pizzas: 13.34
2 Safeway frozen veggies 1.98 after in ad coupon
= 15.32 - 4.60 (30% off coupon)
=10.72 - $4 (2 $2/2 Red Baron tearpads- found at Randalls, Kroger and CVS)
=$6.72 or $1.12 an item

Well, I am brain storming a few other scenarios, but keep in mind I have not done any of these things yet personally.

3 Freschetta pizzas @ 5.49 each
=$16.47 - $4.94 (30% off cooupon)
= $11.53 - $3 (3 $1 IP's - will require two computers)
=$8.53 oop but earn $5 oyn floral purchase for purchasing 3 Freschetta pizzas (see details here)
So $3.53 for 3 or $1.18 a pizza (these are yummy pizzas too)(thanks qrazyguy I missed that)

6 Hot Pockets* @ $2.39 each
1 Safeway veggie $1.29
=$15.63 - $4.69 (30% off coupon)
= $10.94 - $3.12 (Randalls sale, buy 3 or more @ 1.87 each)
= $7.82 - $3 (3 $1/2 IP - will require two computers)
= $ 4.82 oop but earn $2 oynso for purchasing 6 Hot Pockets (see details here)
So $2.82 for 6 or .47 each for 6 or .80 each (thanks again Qrazyguy, guess I should get more sleep)
*I am not sure if this will work exactly like this since the $1.87 price does not actually require a coupon, just for them to hit total, but the ring up price is 2.39 originally for the Hot Pockets

Other items you might be able to throw in your scenarios to up your total to $15 for the in ad 30% off coupon

Aunt Jemima pancakes $2.79
-.84 (30% off coupon)
-$1 IP (watch video then you can print)
= .95/box

*hopefully I can stop in tomorrow and get more pricing to add to this list.

JM Smuckers Brand coupons on Walmart site


Right now, if you head over to the Walmart in stores now page, you can print several coupons for various Smuckers brand items. I am hoping a few of these will make for cheap/free items at Randalls after doubles/triples, including:
.50 Smuckers jam, jelly or preserves
.35 Pillsbury brownie mix or frosting
.50 Smucker's Uncrustables brand sandwiches(these are usually quite pricy but I am hoping they will be reasonable with the 30% in ad Randalls coupon)
$1 Folgers 3 oz+ coffee (hmm has anyone seen a 3 oz can?)

Thanks Hip2Save for the heads up on these coupons.

Mott's Juice deal at Target


Wow! Did you happen to see this offer in the Target ad today?

Mott's 64 oz apple juice is on sale for $2.25 and you can get a free 6 pack of applesauce when you purchase two!

Well, if you are a lucky duck that happens to still have some coupons from the MDA Safeway coupon booklets (I posted about these here ), then you can score a pretty awesome deal.

2 Mott's apple juice @ $2.25 each = $4.50
1 Motts 6 pk applesauce = FREE
-$2/2 MDA coupon
= $2.50 or .83 an item

*I am not really sure how Target works with using a manufacturer coupon on a free after promo like this(coupon policy is not 100% clear) but if they do, you can possible do this scenario (keep in mind it seems to be a gray area in their coupon policy)

4 Mott's apple juice @ $2.25 each = $9
2 Motts 6 pk applesauce = FREE
-3 $2/2 MDA coupons
= $3 or .50 an item! (thanks Kristin for letting me know register does not allow this :)

Ocean Spray Cranberry Sparklers are $1.99
-$1.50 MDA coupon
=.49 a 4 pack or ~.13 each (Thanks CouponKristin!)

Olay Gift Sets - Free after Rebate, Small MM after Cash Back!


WOW! I was hoping they would offer this deal again this year. For those of you that did this last year, no worries, this is a new rebate timeframe, so you can net yourself a free Olay gift set, and a decent money maker for those of you with a Discover Card!

If you have a Discover card, go through ShopatHome to receive 2% back)

Whichever site you go through, once you get to Walmart.com through them, type Olay gift set in the search field. It will bring up the two basket options shown above for $9 each.
After tax my total was $9.74 with free shipping.
Then head here and print the Allure magazine rebate form. If you read the fine print on this form, you can either choose a magazine subscription or you can choose to have a rebate for the value of the subscription (currently 9.99) You will just need to mail this form, the card inside your Olay gift basket and a copy of your receipt within 30 days of purchase.
After the cost of your tax and stamp, you will get the gift basket for just under .25.
BUT, if you went through ShopDiscover, you will get back 5% cash back in your account, so ~ .45, making this a very small money maker.
If you go through Shopathome, you get 2% back so ~.18 making this a break even!

Thanks Who Said Nothing in Life is Free.

Free Ice Cream Pizza - Marble Slab and Maggie Moo's - Monday Oct 24


My girls and I participated in this promo last year and I have to say ice cream pizza is a interesting invention that you should try. I got the email from Maggie Moo's but in my years as a couponer, I have learned many companies who share parent companies and Marble Slab and Maggie Moo's is one of those.

Just go to any participating Maggie Moo's or Marble Slab store between the hours of 3 and 6 pm tomorrow (Monday) and get a free slice of ice cream pizza to try.
If you purchase an ice cream pizza during the month of October, $1 from each sold will be donated to the Susan G Komen for the Cure.

To find your closest participating locations, go here for Maggie Moo's and here for Marble Slab.

CVS - Don't forget to take your kiddos in Costume


Don't forget, CVS today is offering a free kids pack and photo for each child that comes dressed in their Halloween costumes with any purchase. I took my two little vampires (Draculaura and Marceline) and got their goodie bags. We did have to ring up in two separate purchases, but I just used the Starburst bogo coupons(you can print here after watching video) to buy them 2 each. They were .50 each and after purchasing 4, you earn a $1 ECB thus making them free.
The following is a picture of the goodie bags being given to the kiddos. The store should also give you the parent the following coupons:
$5 off any Halloween costume
$5 off any Hershey's snack size bags 19 oz or larger
$2 off any CVS pharmacy brand c or d size batteries
Free 5x7 print from your camara or cd
All expire 10-31-11


Also, don't forget TODAY is the last day to register for your coupon for 20 free 4x6 prints.
Coupon will be good until 10-26 but you have to sign up and print it TODAY.

Stay tuned later for my matchups for CVS and Walgreens.

WOW! Hot deal on Mossimo Jeans at Target


I did this deal this morning and it worked without a hitch. I started to post but dang it if I got too busy at work.
Anyway, right now there is a SUPER HOT deal with combined coupon codes at Target. You have to get 1 pair of Mossimo Jr jeans and 1 other women's apparel item(NOT ON CLEARANCE). I chose the Mossimo Supply Co. Juniors Bootcut Jean - Medium Tint Wash and a shirt : C9 by Champion® Women's Short-Sleeve Power Workout Tee - Assorted Colors.

Once you put two items in the cart, enter the following promo codes TGTTUY28 and TGT75HFN. You will have to create a Target account if you don't have one or else both codes will not work. When you do this, the two codes will cover shipping and take a huge chunk off your order.  I got both my items for $5.22 after tax!
Others are reporting getting jeans and leggings for only $6.xx!  This is a HOT deal and is only good today.
Also, consider going through ShopDiscover for 5% cash back (PLUS it might count for an additional 5% for the quarterly BONUS cash back) if you have a Discover card or Shopathome for 4% if you are not a Discover Card holder.

Thanks SD, IMM and JennS

Kroger Halloween Ecoupon - $2 off Candy


For you Kroger shoppers, you can go here and load a $2 off $5 candy purchase coupon.
If you choose to load this coupon, make sure to confirm it comes off at the register for you as ecoupons can be highly unpredictable at most stores.  I typically separate my ecoupon items and have them total my purchases to confirm they come off.  I do this at all stores that have ecoupons, and if they don't come off I have them void the products off my order.

Thanks SD!
