Thank You, Honor

Saar's
I don't know how long this deal is good, or if it is at all the stores. I went to Saar's to get milk, They had BIG boxes of Kellogg's cereal for $2.99. On the box is a deal if you by 3 you enter the codes on line and get $10. Also taped on top was a coupon for $2 off milk with the purchase of 2 boxes.
I bought 2 gallons of milk and 3 boxes of cereal, I spent $10.95 and should get $10 back. Too bad I didn't have any cereal coupons with me. :)

Powerades @ Albertson's

I had heard rumor that when you purchase bigger quantities of Powerade the Out Of Pocket price goes down. Powerade Zero is one of my Husbands favorite drinks so I had to try this deal out. I had the cashier ring in 300 Powerades and after all the discounts it came to $56.25 + tax. I am still very confused at how this price came to be however I pre-purchased and put in my order for 300 Powerades. Powerades are normally around $1 a bottle however I purchased them for around 5/$1 you can't beat the price!

I understand this deal is not for everyone. However if this is a drink you drink on a daily basis and have $60 laying around plus storage space I say, go for it! You could also go in with some friends and divide the quantity and price.

Product Review

Do you like Granola?

Are you looking for easy snacks?

Then look no further!

I bought a few bags from Albertson's this last week.

(you can get them for around $0.25 with promo and coupons)

I Love them! They are quarter sized clusters with lots of crunch and taste!

I only had 2 complaints...

1. For me maybe a tad to crunchy (I am still recovering from my awful experience at the dentist)

2. The bags are way to small!! You could possibly eat the whole bag by yourself and still want more!

Yummy!!

Happy Snacking Everyone!

Albertson's

3 Transactions...

Total before Sales...$163.37

Total OOP... $10.48 and I have $32 in cats to use on my next purchase!

Reminder... Doubles are only good until Saturday!
Get your ideas together and go save some money!

I found $1/2 stickies on the Soda.

These will come in handy for our camping trip!
I am also stocking up on items for school lunches! All 6 kids will need healthy good for you snacks as well as the occasional treat that they will get to sink their teeth into!

**Update** This last Wednesday during our coupon gathering I mentioned that there was a $dollar coupon for Athenos Feta cheese @ Safeway. I was able to pick up a few the other day and when I was reading the coupon I realized that it was not a manufacture coupon it was a retail coupon (meaning store coupon). Upon this new information I don't think you should take it to Albertson's in fact they might not even take it.

I will now send in for a $10 Kellogg's rebate and they will have paid me $9.05 for buying their product!! Yeah!

BLUEBERRIES!

The Blueberry park is ripening everyday!

These next few Sunny days should help in this process.

We went yesterday and came out with a bowl full of blueberries. Others are coming out with bucketfuls.

I am hoping to go back Saturday Evening or maybe Monday to get some more.

************************

Safeway

Safeway's has Chiquita Pineapple bites for $0.99 buy one get one. the best part of this deal is most packages have a buy one get one free coupon attached to them. Combine sale and coupon equals free Pineapple!! I have done this deal 3 times buying 6 or more at a time (at 3 different stores) and I have had no problem with cashiers giving me a hard time.

Albertson's

I purchased all this plus 4 12 pks of Dr. Pepper (not pictured)(Dr. Pepper's for a friend)

For... $13.43 plus I got a $10 Cat.

Value... $84.96

The Steam fresh meals were marked down for quick sale to $2 each but they are part of the buy $10 get $3 off so I bought 5 for $7 not bad when they are normally $7.99 each.Plus, my Husband loves these!! (Not as good as homemade. However, great for those quick meal nights) They had a few $2 bags left and some $3 bags but they are going fast! Once they are gone you can still get 2 for $7 defiantly not my price point but it is like buying one getting one free.

Albertson's

The last few weeks we have been having a coupon gathering (class) where we go over the ads for the week, share coupons and inform everyone of the great deals going on.
This last week Jennica was able to have a great experience and fantastic savings she even inspired me! Thanks Jennica!

I wanted to get some more Ice Cream but they only had 4 on the shelf. The gentleman said he would be getting some in Tomorrow. And then he ordered some for Monday. If you are interested in the Ice Cream and can't find it ask for a rain check! I have a very nice cashier who wrote me 2 rain checks that way I can get 5 pay $1 and then get 5 more and pay $1.

I am also making making money on this Ice Cream! Let me explain, If my kids are impatient and can't wait for Ice Cream time I then sale them to my children for $0.50 each. However if they can wait they can have it for free. This lesson of Patience will probably only work when they are out of money. But it helps me replenish the supply! LOL!

My Kids think I'm Crazy!

Yesterday, after Savior of the World Practice we stopped at Albertson's to get milk and use a coupon that was expiring (for a free item). As I was walking back to the car with my Husband and kids watching every move I made. I bent down and picked up a Catalina! My Husband said the kids went crazy! They couldn't believe I would pick up Catalina's off the ground. As I got into the car, the questions started to fly...Why? Mom! Why? I very calmly said... It's a Dollar. They started asking other questions and my Husband laughing the whole time said to the kids... Wouldn't you pick up a dollar if you saw it on the ground? They then started to understand that because I bent down and picked up $1 on your next purchase. I am now $1 Richer!!

Does anyone else look at the Catalina's just floating the parking lot or just sitting in the shopping carts? Or Am I Crazy!

Deals Around Town

Safeway

Nestle Water 24 bottle cases are $2.99 each buy 5 save $5 plus use 5 $1 off coupons here (you will only be able to print 2 per computer) Plus get a $5 Catalina that's five cases for $9.95 OOP but with the $5 Catalina it is equal to $4.95 then send your receipts, proof of purchase and form to Nestle pure Life and receive coupons for 2 free cases of water.

That is Seven cases of water for the equivalent of $4.95

(Thanks to Abundant Food Savings for this deal)

Albertsons

Albertsons has buy 10 Kraft BBQ sauce $0.99 each and get $5 off automatically equaling $4.90 OOP then get 5/$1 cats. = $0.10 Money Maker (if you still have $0.50 coupons this could make for an even nicer deal)

I will be adding to this post when I have a little more time.

I Scream you Scream we all scream for Ice Cream!

(Everything pictured was Free with coupons and doubles a $16.73 value)

I talked about this last night @ our coupon class. If you missed out we have these on

Wednesday Evening to point out the good deals and trade coupons.

Albertson's has 1pint Breyers Ice Cream on sale for $1

This deal however gets better!!

Go here and print 2 $1/2 coupons you can also go here and print 2 more $1/2 coupons

Buy four Breyers Ice Cream and use 2 coupons and 2 doubles = Free Ice Cream and then out will print a $4/5 coupon turn around and buy 5 more Ice Creams for $1 that is 9 Ice Creams for $1. The coupon states it can't be used on single serving Ice Creams this however has 4 servings therefore it works!

**Now I have done this at two different stores and it worked at one but not the other.

56TH Street in Tacoma prints out the Catalina. So just beware that you might get Ice Cream free and not a Catalina. Good Luck! Also get a rain check if they don't have any Ice Cream!

Help I'm addicted to spending less!!

Yes! Sometimes I go Crazy! for a great deal!

But Seriously, I have a problem! I went to Albertson's this morning and did two Transactions spent $9.99 on 22 Items ($72.98 before sales & coupons) ( I also received a $1 cat. and a $2 survey) and I'm having a coupon breakdown. My OOP just seems way to high to me!LOL!

I finally had to divided the items into the total = $0.45 each item.

I am now breathing at a more normal rate and my palms are no longer sweaty. I just wish I could have gotten these groceries cheaper that's all!
