Old Navy Weekly Hunt

Well, I just got on to post a reminder about tonight's hunt and I checked the web page and the coupons had already changed over!!! I totally missed them. There was another coupon for $60 off a $100 and another great one for $45 off a $100 purchase. Did anyone remember and get a coupon tonight? I guess I will get a good night rest and not be paranoid about "missing" it this week!

Weekly Show and Tell+some

Yesterday I did my weekly shopping trip and made out great!

8 Garnier Fructis Products

11 Electrosol Tablets (box of 20 each) (That should last me FOREVER)

1 case of Water (I am really trying to build my water supply in my food storage!!!!)

1 Maybeline Mascara

1 Box of Wheat Thins

1 Cottonelle Toilet paper pack

1 Progresso chicken broth

4 Bisquick pancake mixes

2 Progresso Bread crumbs

1 Box Coco Puffs

2 4 packs of Yoplait Yogurt

2 packs Philadelphia Cream Cheeses

Total Spent $43.80

Saved $71.91

So for this show and tell I want to show you how important it is to be on the "LOOK OUT" for coupons at the store. I didn't plan on purchasing the Garnier Fructis products at $1.99, but when I got there there were $1.00 coupon tear pads! That made each product .99! A GREAT deal! As I also walked around I was able to spot some more amazing savings!

People always ask me. "Where do you find these things?", and honestly my answer is EVERYWHERE! I am just constantly on the "LOOK OUT" for good coupons. Yesterday I managed to find a $2.00 off coupon when you bought two bags of Lays Potato chips, a free Fuze when I bought a multi pack, a $1.00 off Fuze multi pack coupon, a $10.00 rebate when you buy 2 bags of charcoal and $10.00 worth of meat products, $3.00 off any cooler (via mail in), $2.00 of Nivea body wash, and $1.00 of Bayer aspirin (both on sale at Walgreen's!). I do NOT pull of coupons that are on the products themselves-ONLY tear pads or loose coupons. Don't steal coupons from products that are for instant redemption!

The last couple weeks I also managed to find these coupons, $1.25 off 3 Philadelphia cream cheeses (I need to use it this week! That would make a great deal on cream cheese at Albie's), .50 cents of crystal light (always on sale) and .50 of cheese when you buy Sara Lee bread!)

I then proceeded to check out and look what was there!!!! Someone had left these coupons and the checker had SAVED them for me!!! How nice was that! The checker knew I came on Wednesdays and when the customer who received them didn't want them, the checker put them aside for me!!! There are 4 coupons for $5 off a $40 purchase!!! Easy for me to do!

I also wanted to share with you how sometimes it pays to sign up for those silly trial offers or mailing lists. The last week this is all I received in the mail, not including my e-mail box!

1 Playtex bottle

25.00 of a 4 course dinner at the Melting Pot (My B-day is coming up-hint hint honey)

B1G1 free smoothie

A free chili cheese dog with the purchase of one at Weinershnitzle

Free Country Bobs BBQ sauce (like I need any more after last week!)

$2.00 of Gillette Fusion shampoo

$1.00 of Jergen's Lotion

A free Sample of lotion

$5 off at Famous Footwear

Free Box of Kashi frozen waffles

5 coupons for $1.50 off one box of waffles from Kashi (Thank you Vocal Point)

A free sample of Mini Wheats (Thank you to Vocal Point)

A B1G1 free box of Mini Wheat's

5 coupons for $1.00 off one box of Mini Wheats

$5.00 of a Mimi's Cafe breakfast-took a survey last time I went

And I took a picture of my $17.98 Unilever rebate check

Wow! I am not sure I can even use all that before it expires! Again I am always on the "LOOK OUT" for savings

Also be aware the rewards programs at local store pay off too! Babies R Us always sends my valuable coupons in the mail, Staples gives me cash back and great rebates with their rewards programs, Paradise Bakery and Cafe adds up my points so eventually I can get a free meal after I get so many points, and there are SO many other programs! Take advantage and make sure you use them!!!!

After I started using Grocery Smarts, my whole perspective on "buying things" changed. I hate to buy something without a coupon or reward system, I am always keeping track of what a "good price" is and I am always finding great savings! I love that Grocery Smarts taught me the value of my money! My lifestyle has completely changed for the better! I love this new way of shopping that I have incorporated in my daily living!'

Now that you guys have been using Grocery Smarts what are some of the things you have found or discovered.

Unilever Ham/Turkey Rebate

I opened up my mailbox today and there was my Unilever rebate check! It was $17.98!!!! As if getting free meat that week wasn't good enough, they ended up paying me for it!!!! Oh what would I do without Grocery Smarts and all my wonderful coupons!

Mac and Cheese

Last week I bought tons of Mac and Cheese and lots of BBQ sauce, but now I need to find ways to use it!!! What are some recipes you guys have using either of those ingredients?

RedBox Monday

Sad News!

Dear redbox customer,

The word is out that you can take home new release DVDs for only a $1 per night from the big red box. We know you know, because you've saved that dollar as part of redbox' Free Movie Mondays promotion, which is ending after May 11.

However, since so many of us could use an extra buck these days, redbox is going to keep the free flicks coming once a month throughout the summer.

Beginning June 1, redbox will send a free movie code to your phone on the first Monday of the month as a thank you for using redbox.

So start thinking about what you are going to do with those 3 extra dollars this summer – pool noodle... 6 piece McNuggets® and honey... 64 oz cherry icie... And we'll keep thinking up new ways to delight you – Hollywood's newest releases, online reservations, movie reviews, witty remarks... seriously, it's endless.

Sad! Here is the last code!

Coupons in Sunday's Paper

Happy Mother's Day to all you wonderful Mother's out there. I apologize for not updating yesterday, but I was taking full advantage of my Holiday.

Here were some of the coupons I found in Sunday's paper!

One Smart Source and One Red Plum

And SCORE!!!!!!!!

Albertson's Doubles!!!!!!!

Score!

Okay, I'll admit it I was a total lameo and stayed up tonight to score an Old Navy Coupon! The best they had this week was $60 off $100. I was on there right when it started. I never could catch that flying bird. He had a towel or swimsuit of some sort. I am assuming that was the $60 off $100 coupon. I did manage to get a $45 of $100 coupon when the dolphin was swimming in the background! It's not great, but I'll take it. I think if you catch the crab there is a coupon, or if you pop the lil boys water wings a coupons pops up too. I am bound and determined to snag a good one next week....until then I'll be happy with what I was able to get! Now I have GOT to go to bed!

Old Navy Update!

Oh wow we are close guys!
