I shared info about their Rebate program last year ... see here. This is kind of like the Register Rewards at Walgreen's but you have to mail in the form to get your perks back...even though you can still roll them along. What is nice is the simple fact that these do NOT expire, so you can be patient and roll them over when you find the right deal. I LOVE the FREE after rebate items, but will settle for less than free, if I can use up old rebate checks to make up the difference. =) This is NOT all the deals in the flier - just the ones that are FREE or practically FREE: Steel Shelf Bracket 12" x 8" $2.00 - Get $2.00 MIR = FREE!! (Limit 10) Super Hook (20 pc) $3 - Get $3 MIR = FREE (Limit of 10) Vinyl Gutter (4' x 10') $4 - Get $4 MIR = FREE (Limit of 10) Floor Tile Trays (12 pack) $25 - get $25 MIR =FREE (Limit of 10) Home and Auto Wet Wipes $1.50 - get $1.50 MIR = FREE (Limit of 6) Candle Lighter $2.49 - get $2 MIR = $.49 (Limit of 4)   Did I miss one? ...

***Keep in mind my guidelines: $1/# for fresh produce and $2/# or less for meat HOT:  Buy a 3.1 Cubic Foot Mini Fridge for $99, Get a Booklet Containing $100+ in Coupons for Free Products This is an unadvertised deal, but has been spotted in many Cub Foods stores. This is reminiscent of the freezer deal Cub runs each March. Final price: $99, plus $100 in coupons for free products ( ask to see the coupon booklet before you purchase, to be sure it’s worth your while ) Carrie at Pocket Your Dollars beat me to the list this week - check it out here

To give away FREE newspapers? I stopped in at the Dollar Tree around 10 am today and got 5 papers...took out 15 inserts and 5 McD coupons, then as people were about to enter the store - I asked if they were there for a paper. If they said YES and didn't care that the coupons were gone, I saved them $1. :) Granted it's not much, but I think it meant something to the guy who had is $1 ready in nickles and dimes... (And yes, they are all clipped and filed away in my coupon box!)

Cub Foods has released a new coupon booklet with coupons good from Friday, 8/5 through Saturday, 8/20. Shoppers living in a Cub Foods-serviced area may have received one of these in the mail, but if not, you can always find them near the front door when you walk in the store. Carrie, from Pocket Your Dollars has the listof contents, with coupon match ups here Thanks Carrie!

They double coupons every day, up to $.55 - how fun! This doesn't cover everything in their add, just the bargains. Just remember that everything in their ad is FOR sale, not ON sale...  Keep in mind my price points for produce ($1/# or less) and meat ($2/# or less) There is a 10 for $10 sale this week - that means you can get ONE item, for $1 too!

Sentry Coupon Policy is here It's seems like steak and shellfish are their big promotions this week in the meat department. Sadly, it's still pretty darned high pricing (in my opinion) Check to see if your store takes IPs (Internet Printable Coupons) before printing some of the matched up deals...not all do. Remember, Not everything in the ad is a good bargain, it's not all ON sale but is all FOR sale :) Produce Deals Green or Red Leaf Lettuce $.99 each - weigh them to get the heavier ones Ripe California Peaches $.99/# Meat Deals Hormel Flavored Pork Tenderloins $5.99 - this is higher than my price point but they are tasty, EASY to prepare and its cheaper than the $5.99/# that they usually are Carl Budding thin sliced lunch meat $.60 - sign up for their newsletter on their website, they send out coupons monthly Oscar Mayer Cotto Salmi or Sliced Bologna 3/$3-limit 3 -use in ad coupon to get sale price Dairy Deals Kozy Shack Pudding $1.33 -use the $1/1 from t...

Make sure you check your Parade Section of the Sunday paper -- it has a coupon for a FREE McCafe Mango Pinealld (or other flavor) Smoothie (or Frappe or Frozen Lemonade) AND a coupon for a FREE McCafe ice or hot Caramel Mocha, Latte or Cappuccinio. What is different this time? Both coupons require you to buy a sandwish or salad -- excludes $ menu items.

This doesn't really surprise me as they starting their double days to compete with the Roundy's Chain...and since Roundy's quit on Saturdays, I was just waiting for them to stop.  (sigh) Here are the changes: - EVERY WEDNESDAY (they used to do Saturday too) -$25 minimum purchase required. (BEFORE coupon items are added in)** - Metcalfe’s will double the first 5 coupons, up to and including $1.00 manufacturer coupons. (they used to do 10)  Effective 8/18/11. (we still have a little time to play with the OLD system...) SO....here is an example: You have five items that have a $1/1 coupon - which will give you $10 off. Your cart total needs to be $35 before checking out...so you stay over the $25. Is it just me or is it no longer such a great deal? You can see it here, on their website under Double Coupon Days

Sorry about all the planned ahead posts for you -- I knew I would be up in North Woods of Wisconsin and have very little WiFi. Little did I know we would have storms with power outages too, LOL! Hang on to your hats -- I have a LOT of stuff coming your way the next two days, as I catch up on things :) Blessings...

A re-post of mine -- enjoy You have probably seen the list in an email from a friend or on another website - it's hard to track down where it started, but it certainly is a great item to work with! It's amazing what this can do -- use the white, distilled vinegar for cleaning -- other flavors in a pinch. Keep in mind that you can usually get 1 gallon for under $1 if you simply watch the sales and since it does so much, just think about what toxic, expensive cleaner you can replace with it! Hate the smell? Keep in mind that the distinctive smell is usually gone once the vinegar drys. :) 1. Deodorize the sink: Pour 1 cup baking soda, followed by 1 cup hot vinegar, down the drain. Let sit for at least 5 minutes, then rinse with hot water. 2. Deodorize the garbage disposal: Make ice cubes out of vinegar. Run the disposal with a few vinegar ice cubes and cold water. 3. Clean counter tops: Wipe down surfaces with a rag dipped in vinegar. 4. Clean the fridge: Use a mixture ...
