Dear Safeway, I love you...

for your coupon booklets. Remember the awesome Holiday baking coupon book, well there is another great booklet out at Safeway, in celebration of Frozen Food Month: March. Be on the lookout for this one, it has some great manufacturer's coupons that you can use anywhere!

I am patiently waiting for the return of the fab CHILL promotion that Albertsons did last year (fingers crossed). Until then, check out my new freezer. I actually got this for Christmas, but I am hoping this will be the month that it gets filled up!

Rite Aid In Ad Coupons

So I was wrong...and my ad did contain the page of Rite Aid store coupons. Here are my favorite ones to stack. Remember that you will get a 20% wellness discount (if you are at that level) in addition to the coupon value.

• Huggies $1, stack with $3/1 from 2/27 SS (this is only a good deal if you have your 20% wellness discount, then the price is $5.99)
• ThermaCare 1 ct, FREE with in ad coupon
• Kushy Foot $2, these are often priced around $2 for some varieties
• No nonsense $1, also may be able to find item at $1-2
• Loreal True Match $5.25, stack with $3/1 from 1/23 RP
• Sally Hansen $2/$5, stack with $1/$2 from March All You

Kmart Doubles Last Trip

I snuck in late last night to get a few more double coupon deals

• 4 packs Pampers $9.99, used $2/1 from 2/27 P&G=$5.99 each
• Enfamil $6.99, use $2/1 from pediatrician tear pad=$2.99
• Water $3.50
• Lemon Drops $2.99 (fillers used to get me over $50)

Also used:

• $5/$50 Kmart coupon
• $10 prescription gift card
• $2 Enfamil Check (I was wrong earlier...I got my first free formula!)

I paid $18.12 (had to pay bottle deposit too) and got back $10 P&G catalina, so like spending $8.12 for all of this...that is a good deal on one pack of diapers! I hope they bring back the doubles again soon. I so love Kmart double shopping.

Purex Crystals

I was recently selected as a Purex Insider which means I get to test products and give opinions on Purex. I have long been a fan of the 3 in 1 product, but can no longer use it in my high efficiency washer/dryer. However, the Purex Crystals can work in HE machines. They also naturally based rather than oil based, so they won't decrease:

• your towels absorb ability
• children's sleepwear's flame-resistance
• sports wears wicking effectiveness

I am in the process of reviewing this product and then I will have some high value coupons to share with you. For now click here to get $1/1 coupon link and learn more about the product. This is a new product, so print this coupon and look for sales to pair it with. Remember when new products are released look for high value coupons, sales, and promos to follow shortly.

Macy's One Day Sale

There is a One Day Sale at Macy's today and tomorrow. No extra coupon, but check your own stash for recent mailings. There is an extra 50% off clearance, which is fall and winter apparel. Look at what I got yesterday, this darling warm ruffled coat!

Regularly $89.99, on sale for $14.99, I used my $10 demin coupon (promotion over now) to score it for $4.99! Wahoo! I realized after looking at baby pictures of my oldest, that I had been sporting the same leather jacket since at least 2003...so I did a little upgrade! So I beg the question, why would you shop at Walmart for clothing?

Kmart Doubles, my sister's trip

My sister did her first Kmart doubles run this week, she did a great job and found a killer Nivea Body Wash deal. She is just getting started in couponing, but is catching on very quickly. Way to go Dev! Here is her summary:

• Nivea bodywashes! It was a bogo (buy one, get one) half off sale at the store, the original prices at $6.29 and $2.65 (at half off). I had 2 $2/1 coupons, making the final cost only $0.94! Yes, you read that right, $0.94 for the two bodywashes!
• Orbit gum—filler item (read bottom for details...) No deal here really, I just needed some gum and to get to $25.00! It cost $1.29.
• Colgate toothpaste—$3.99. Used $1/1 from all you magazine. Final cost—$1.99
• Johnson's Natural baby wash—$4.39. Used $1/1 from all you magazine. Final cost—$2.39

I saved $14.00 on my items that I used coupons with...which was everything but the gum, tax not included.

Kmart Doubles Day 2

Had another successful Kmart double day...not the lowest oop ever, but things we use and high value coupons to double.

1. Kelloggs Fruit Snacks $2.79 each (not great, but the kids' treat), used $1/2 from tearpad in store=$1.79 each, not a stock up price, but they had been on errands for over 2 hours so it was a nice cheapish reward. Be on the lookout for this tearpad to use with a really good sale.
2. Enfamil $6.99, used $2/1 from pediatrician's office tearpad=$2.99, I could have got it for 99 cents had I had my Enfamil checks with me :( Heads up though, ask to see the coupon bin at your doctor's office. They often have high value coupons for formula, meds, and other baby supplies.
3. Dreft $8.99, used $2/1 from a P&G package insert=$4.99
4. Huggies Wipes $2.99, used 2 $1/1 from home mailer=99 cents each.

I posted this to point out two things, #1 coupons are everywhere, be constantly on the lookout! and #2 it is possible to save money on things you use everyday...you might not get them free, but you can certainly lower your out of pocket. (I have yet to see free formula or Dreft.)
