High Value Huggies Coupons

There are some great high-value Huggies coupons on www.coupons.com right now.

You can print them off twice on each computer and sometimes can also print them from www.couponbug.com and/or www.couponsuzy.com

Target - Goldfish & Applesauce

Cheap Goldfish crackers (through tomorrow) and Motts Applesauce (until 3/28) ....and best part is you don't have to buy any special coupons.

Go to www.afullcup.com then to Target Coupon Generator and there is a $1 off one 4 or 6 pack single serve Mott's applesauce. These are $1.67 so $0.67 for a 6 pack of applesauce. This coupon expires 3/28 so plenty of time to stock up on this product.

Unfortunately the Goldfish coupon is the same deal ($1 coupon and the product is $1.67) but the coupon expires tomorrow :~( Run to Target tomorrow for some super cheap snacks for the kids. The whole baked ones (I think that is what they are called?) were also listed at $1.67 in my stores.

Safeway - cereal, cereal and more cereal!

Phew. I am absolutely BEAT with this combo cereal/frozen food deal. I have absolutely no clue how many boxes of cereal I ended up with total (I don't, but should, keep my receipts). Will try to get a count tomorrow or Thursday. But, the third row of my Expedition is down and most of that area is filled with cereal boxes and now DH's Jetta's trunk is full with cereal. Not to mention the bags and bags we have already brought in.

So JUST TONIGHT's totals:

30 boxes of cereal
4 BirdsEye Steamfresh dinners for 2
1 Toaster Struedels
3 Danimals Crusher yogurts
2 Tai Pei meals
3 tartar sauces
2 cocktail sauces
7 Nutripals
3 New York garlic breadsticks
and a pack of Orbit gum when I thought I was going to go negative!

Grand total CASH out of pocket...........$1.27............

I actually got overcharged on my first transaction for the Nutripals. Two of them rang up at $6.29 each and I didn't catch it when she was scanning, but I knew my total was really high ($9.58 when I was expecting it to go negative). CS adjusted it and gave me the $8.58 back so my total cash on that transaction was $1 but it would have been $0.01 if I hadn't thrown the gum in. Haha

My second transaction I actually pulled away a $2 coupon for the tartar sauce because I could see I was going to go under the $10 to roll my CAH cat. My total for that transaction was $0.27.

I super puffy heart Safeway....but boy am I exhausted!!

My 2 Safeway Trips

Wow, what an incredible night at Safeway!! Thanks to my amazing bargain friend, Fannie, I did two transactions tonight at Safeway. Probably the best 2 transactions ever.

1st Transaction:
3 boxes Quaker Oat Squares cereal
7 boxes Cap-N-Crunch cereal
2 Ore-Ida french fries
1 BirdsEye steamfresh corn
1 BirdsEye dinner for 2 Shrimp Primavera
2 Danimals yogurt crushers
4 Tai Pei frozen dinners
2 Gorton's fish sticks

After all coupons and discounts - TOTAL cash out of pocket $0.47!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
....and I still got my $10 catalina towards a future purchase!

Summary on the bottom of the receipt:
Total Savings Value 100% $94.52

2nd Transaction:
Same exact items as above but I only had a $10 and $1.75 cat to use instead of a $10 and $4 that I used above. So my total cash out of pocket was $1.93

Summary on the bottom of the receipt:
Total Savings Value 98% $92.36

So, I got $189.28 worth of food for.....$2.40! Holy flippin' cow!!

Seriously, I can't say enough thanks to Fannie. I never would have been able to do this without her!!

Next week there will be a promo where you receive an instant $5 off when you buy 5 participating cereals. Some of the participating cereals are starting at $1.99 a box, which means free or super cheap cereal.

- $5 instant promo
-$7 manu coupons ($0.70 doubled X 5)
= $1.95 for 5 boxes of cereal or $0.39 a box
(this will actually be $0.55 for 5 boxes if you have the 10% Safeway card discount!)

or

Kellogg's Corn Flakes $1.99
$1.99 X 5 = $ 9.95
- $5 instant promo

Safeway CAH Promo - Pictures

I did 3 Safeway deals today. I didn't take pics of the first round but tonight I did two more rounds at one Safeway. The 2 stores I have gone to have been wiped out pretty bad so I had to pull together what I could. Here is a pic of what I got tonight.

2 Ore-Ida potatoes, 14 Toaster Strudels, 6 TexasToast, 1 Raisin Bran, 1 Frosted Mini Wheats, 2 Pepsi 2-liters, 2 Canada Dry 2-liters and 2 Centrums.

And in case you don't notice, this pic is missing 2 things that I royally screwed up! I got the 2 Ore-Ida products with the intention of buying the 2 Gorton's products @ $3.99 each and getting $5 off instantly. Well, this kind-of-crazy guy came up to me and was talking some jibberish and freaking me out....so I totally forgot the fish. Grrr. Oh well. My cashier was sooooo excited and actually went and got me the Pepsi in-ad coupon and said, "You can do a Pepsi AND a Ginger Ale in the same deal". Um, ok.....

Total OOP $10.46 and got my $10 catalina back. For some reason my OOP seems high to me...but I had no overage except on one of the cereals. I am waiting for more Pediasure coupons and none of my stores have the Let's Eat meals to get overage on. Oh well......still not bad I guess.

And last..... if you are doing the Toaster Struedels at Safeway..........the Boston Creme ones (my kids favorites!) are 2/$4 and the rest of the TS's are 2/$5. BUT, my $10 cat printed even though I only hit $24!!!!!! I am not sure how much I would want to test it, but it did work for me.

Running out of space in the freezer.....must find a deal on a deep freezer!

Safeway Chill At Home & 3/1-3/8 Promos

There are some great deals at Safeway this week and through the month of March.

First, this weeks deals:
--FREE 2-liter 7-up or Canada Dry ginger ale with card and in-ad coupon.
--Lucerne butter $0.99 with card and in-ad coupon.
--Kellogg's Frosted Mini Wheats Cereal or Raisin Bran $0.99 with card and in-ad coupon.

For this weeks deals, it is limit 1 per transaction and with a minimum purchase of $10 for the soda. The Lucerne butter is a great price - comparable to Land o Lakes butter - stock up on this now....it can be frozen!!

The Kellogg's cereal is FREE when you use the $0.70 off coupon from the 2/22 RP inserts. Safeway doubles coupons up to $0.99. It is possible that you will get overage on this coupon/sale because it could be based off the original price. I haven't done the deal yet but will post once I see how it rings up.

^^^^^^^^^^^^ these are all the weekly deals that are through 3/8. These are great to combine with the Chill At Home promo that is going through 3/31^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Chill At Home Promo
Buy $25 in select frozen items and receive a $10 coupon towards your next purchase. Below are some of the items that are good to use towards this promo:

___________________________________________________________________

Freschetta frozen pizzas are on sale for $4.49. Here is a scenario using the $0.75 off Freschetta coupons from the 2/8 SS inserts.

(6) Freschetta frozen pizzas $4.49 X 6 = $26.94
- (6) $0.75 coupons doubled = -$9
Subtotal $17.94
-$2.69 (10% off can be applied to your Safeway account by calling CS or message me on other options)
Total $15.25 and receive a $10 catalina towards your next purchase at Safeway.

Now, if you rinse and repeat this, it will be $5.25 for (6) frozen pizzas. Don't forget while you are doing this to get your free soda, cheap butter & cereal.

_____________________________________________________________________

Tai Pei Frozen meals are on sale 2 for $5. These apply towards the CAH promo and there are $0.50/1 coupons available in the 1/25 SS. There were also $1/2 in today's inserts but this would not be as good of a deal because the $0.50 off coupons double but the $1/2 do not. The $0.50 off coupons are still really cheap on Ebay.

Here is a scenario:

(10) Tai Pei meals $2.50 X 10 = $25.
-(10) $0.50 coupons doubled = -$10
Subtotal $15
-10% off on Safeway card - $2.50
Total $12.50
Use $10 cat from previous transaction and total OOP is $2.50 for (10) or $0.25 each.

And you still get the free soda, cheap butter and free cereal.

__________________________________________________________________

-(10) $0.75 off NY Texas Toast coupons doubled = -$15.00
Subtotal $10
-10% off for Safeway card = -$2.50
Total = $7.50
Will need to add in $2.50 worth of product to use your $10 off coupon and get $10 back

__________________________________________________________________

And to add to these great deals, there is a promo on select Gorton's Fish stick products. Look for the window cling on the door in front of the Gorton's products but when you buy (2) select Gorton's fish stick products along with (2) Ore-Ida products, you will receive $5 off your order instantly. The Ore-Ida products count towards the Chill At Home promo (listed above for the $10 OYNO coupon).

Here is a scenario:
(2) Gorton's fish products $3.99 X 2 = $7.98
(2) Ore-Ida potatos (many varieties) $2.99 X 2 = $5.98
(5) Freschetta pizzas $4.49 X 5 = $22.45
Subtotal = $36.41
- (5) Freschetta $0.75 coupons doubled = -$7.50
- Instant $5 off for Gorton's/Ore-Ida promo = - $5
-10% off for select Safeway cards -$3.64
Subtotal $20.27
Use $10 coupon from previous purchase, spend $10.27 and get $10 coupon back.

____________________________________________________________________

Or another scenario with the Gorton's instant promo:

CVS - Essence of Beauty - Some items clearanced 90% off

There are some great deals on Essence of Beauty items at CVS. Many are marked down from 75-90% off right now.

The robes are normally $14.99, so they are only $1.50 to $3.75. The colors I have found are clearanced are the off-white, pink & red. These are not quite as thick or soft as the ones they had last year but they still seem pretty decent for what you are spending! :~)

I also got 3 of the two packs of the Essence of Beauty candles for $1.29 today. One is a larger candle and one is smaller. These are the 3-in-1's that you can also use as massage oil or hand lotion.

Keep an eye out for the small plastic "bags" of sample size items too - they are normally $4.99 and are on clearance. So they will be $0.50 to $1.25.

There may be some other items but this is all I have found so far.

Ordering Coupons

Last post of the evening ...... promise!

I just ordered my coupons for the next couple of weeks. I compared the price of coupons for the sites I normally order from and www.couponsthingsbydede.com had the best price for almost all of them. They were out of stock on the Garnier hair product coupons so I ordered those from www.thecouponclippers.com.

If you are ever asked who referred you to any sites, PLEASE use my name and email address! klingerfamily@verizon.net. Thanks!!

Target - Cheap Nutri-Grain bars

Some are reporting finding the strawberry yogurt Nutri-Grain bars price cut to $1.27 a box. There is a $1/2 coupon available in the 1/11 SS. Target is also running a promo where you get a $5 gift card when you buy 5 participating Kellogg's products (promo ends 3/16).

If you can find the strawberry yogurt Nutri-grain bars it would look like this:

$1.27 X 5 = $6.35 - $2 MQ (2 of the $1/2 coupons) = $4.35 OOP get a $5 Target gift card.

You can not use the Target gift card on that purchase but you can use it to purchase the next set of deals and "roll" it.

Rite Aid - Free Pringles Select

There are small bags of Pringles Select (1.4oz) at Rite-Aid right now. They cost .99 minus the $1/1 coupons that can be found in 2/8 P&G inserts. Free snacks!!

CVS Upcoming 3/8 - 3/14

Posting this early so that you can plan. If you want to do these deals, make sure you go through and order any coupons that you will need that were from previous inserts. I recommend www.thecouponclippers.com. The coupons that are needed are listed in red and bold - if I have not specified a quantity then the quantity is one.

Fructis hair care (Limit 1***)
Sale: 3/$10
MQ: $1 on any Garnier Fructis Shampoo, Conditioner or Treatment (2/8 RP, need 3)
ECB's: $5
Math: 3/$10 - (3) $1 MQs - $5 ECB = 3/$2 or $0.67 each

Garnier Nutritioniste Cleanser or Moisturizer (Limit 1***)
Sale: $5.00
MQ: $1 (2/8 RP, need 2)
ECB's earned $5 wyb $10 in Garnier products listed in ad
Math: $10/2 - (2) $1 MQ's - $5 ECB's = $3 for 2 or $1.50 each

***Note: the limit is 1 for the Garnier. This means you can do EITHER the hair care or the cleanser/moisturizer deal, not both.

Crest Pro Health Toothpaste 4.2 oz (Limit to be determined)
Sale: $2.99
MQ: $1 (2/8 PG) limit is not determined, I would plan on 2-3
ECB's: $2
Math: $2.99 - $1 mq - $2 ECB's = -$0.01 (moneymaker)

Renuzit Tri Scents Starter Kit (no limit, not an ECB deal just sale)
Sale: $4.99
MQ: $4 (2/22 SS, purchase whatever quantity you think you want. In my experience there is very limited quantity of this item in most CVS stores so do not buy too many)
Math: $4.99 - $4 MQ = $0.99

Herbal Essences Hydralicious Shampoo/Conditioner (Limit 5)
(March monthly deal that works well combined with sale this week)
Sale: $2.88
MQ: $3/2 (2/8 PG) because the limit is 5 but the coupon works when you buy 2, you can technically only do this combo twice to make it worthwhile. So need 2 coupons.
ECB's: $1 each
Math: $2.88 X 2 = $5.76 - $3 MQ - $2 ECB's = $0.76 for 2


Secret Flawless Deodorant (Limit 1)
Sale $3.99
MQ: $2 (2/22 RP)
ECB's: $1
Math: $3.99 - $2 MQ - $1 ECB = $0.99

Palmolive
Sale $1.49
MQ: none yet (maybe future?)
ECB: $1.00
Math: $1.49 - $1.00 ECB = $0.49

Do you SWAGGLE

Ok, shameless plug while I have your attention.

I learned about a website called Swagbucks about 4 weeks ago through an online group. Swagbucks is an online search group that works exactly the same as Google. You use their "search" function to search for anything on the web. The advantage is that you earn points for some of your searches. After you accumulate points you can "buy" gift cards or other goods from their store.

In the 4 weeks since I started using it, I have already earned enough points to buy $20 in Amazon e-gift cards. And the best thing is.... I have used it for all my general web searches. Really, nothing else.

If you have people sign up under your referral code, you gain points for each of their points. So there are times I don't even log into my Swag and I am gaining points from those under me.

It is so easy to sign up and takes no more effort than going to your Google search. So try it out. But of course, make sure you sign up under me!! :~)

My Link:

There are some great free's for this first week of March.

Carnation Instant Breakfast 10ct, FREE Limit 1
Sale: 4.99
ECBs earned: 4.99
Math: 4.99-4.99=free

ACT Total Care trial size, FREE Limit 1
Sale: .99
ECBs earned: .99
Math: .99-.99=free

Slimquick Energy Shot 2pk, FREE Limit 1
Sale: 4.99
ECBs earned: 4.99
Math: 4.99-4.99=free

Gillette Fusion Gamer, FREE Limit 1
SALE: $7.99
MQ: $4 (2/08 PG)
ECBs earned: 4
MATH: 7.99-$4mq=3.99, earn 4 ECB

The scenario I would recommend for anyone starting things off this week is this:

(1) Carnation Instant Breakfast $4.99
(1) Act Total Care trial size $0.99
(1) Slimquick Energy Shot $4.99
(1) Gilette Fusion Gamer $7.99
(1) CVS Vitamin D $2.99

Total pre-coupon: $21.95

Coupons:
(1) $4/20 CVS coupon* -$4.00
(1) $4 Gilette coupon -$4.00

Total cash OOP** $13.95 earn $21.95 in ECB's back

Notes:
*you will get this $4/20 coupon by registering your CVS ExtraCare card on their website. You will need to sign your card up with your email address and it will be emailed to you within a few days. It is a welcome coupon. General rule of thumb is that you can use this same coupon for a few weeks - just check if there is an expiration date! :~)
**if you already have an ECB's from prior weeks, make sure you use them to reduce your OOP below the $13.95.

Keep checking back here often - as other surprise deals post this week I will update!!

CVS March 2009 Deals

Right now there is only one "free" deal in March. Of course, that could change quickly....so keep posted. In the meantime, here is the free:

Coupon New-bies

Ok, coupon newbies! I am going to start back up on posting on my blog. But ---- I need your help! Please please please if you read my info and it helps you or even if it doesn't, please leave comments or post your questions here. That way I will know if this blog is useful or just a waste of my time. :~) Kicking it off with the 3/1-3/8 and March deals. Happy shopping!

I hit 4 CVS's today for their 2 day sales - there are 17 freebies today and tomorrow. I was only looking for a few of the items that I knew I would use or sell.

Got: 18 Listerines, 4 Halls cough drops, 4 Excedrin, 4 Zantac, 7 HIP eyeshadows and 8 Sally Hansen nail polishes.

Grand Total OOP $0.05 (and only because I couldn't find my gift card - haha)

Increased my total ECB's by: $65.01 (meaning I have $65 more in ECB's than when I started my trips today!! WOW!!)

Definitely a great bargain day! I might try a few more CVS's tomorrow to get more of the freebies if they are left. Today I just focused on the ones I really wanted or could resell easily. But free stuff is free stuff! :~)

Deals for week of 12/7:

Target:
-Airwick Lumin'Air Flameless Candles are on sale for $4.99. There is a $5 off coupon in today's inserts making these not just free, but a $0.01 moneymaker! I love flameless candles so I can't wait to try these. I bought 33 coupons from Ebay seller KalamazooClipper for $4.05 shipped.

CVS:
-The only deal I see there this week are the Duracell batteries if you have the $5/2 CVS coupon. Buy 6 packs for $18. Use (3) $5/2 CVS Duracell coupons. Pay $3 and get $5 ECB's back. A better deal if you have MNF coupons (but I used all mine a few weeks ago with the huge moneymaker Duracell deal).

Will update more later as I browse through the deals.
