Operation $40K

A lot of blogs/facebook communities will take a Moment of Silence 8:46amEST to 10:03amEST. For one hour and 17 minutes on Sunday they will not be posting on their Facebook pages or blogs to commemorate the 10th anniversary. We know a lot of Police Officers and Fire Fighters...and have both in the family. We know someone who was in the tower that day...and find it hard to see that video of the planes and towers, over and over again. We will post our normal Sunday items on Monday morning...please understand the entire day of silence here. Blessings to you, and your family. Dannelle

This week - not a whole lotta deals at Cub Foods - but thanks to Rhonda for the alert on the S&W beans! They are on sale for $0.69/can in their new coupon book, print the coupon from their website for $1/5 to take them down to $.49 each. Just in time for chili season!!

Authority cat food is on sale at Petsmart for $5.99 for the 4-lb. bag and use the $5/1 coupon on  authoritypetnutrition.com  (bottom right hand corner). It gets better! There are tearpads in the store for 2 free cans of Authority cat food wyb any bag of Authority cat food! Bottom line:   Get 4 lbs. of cat food and 2 6-oz. cans of cat food for $0.99! ***This makes a GREAT donation item! You can get over 20 pounds of cat food for under $5!!!

Some people have had issues with their Target stores telling them that they can't use coupons on trial sized items - that it is a NEW policy of the company. This is not true. First of all, it is always a good thing to have a copy of the store policy with you, if you are shopping there. You can get the Target policy off their website HERE . If you DO have a problem, you have every right to request that they call customer relations regarding the dispute so that the matter can be rectified immediately. **Apparently, there was SOME discussion of a new policy that came down through the grapevine incorrectly...but the bottom line is that stores do NOT have the power to add to or adjust the corporate coupon policy. I hope that helps you eliminate any possible frustration at the registers...happy shopping!

Get the small box for $.99 (either by the register or the main area by the chapsticks) and use the $1/1 from the 8/28 P&G for ANY Vicks! (limit 4 per transaction - per the coupon) Stock up for the winter season for FREE! =)

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: Did I miss one? Let me know! Sally Hansen Beauty Tools $2.49 - $2.00 MIR -use $1/1 coupon from the 7/31 RP = $.51 MONEY MAKER!!!!!!!!!!

You can find them here -- at Totally Target. A few things to add: Not everything in the flier is ON sale, it is all FOR sale. The Market Pantry Milk for $3.49 is a great example of that - VERY expensive (IMO) If you have the Cascade $1/1 coupons - look for the trial packs = they will be FREE! If you have been playing with Recyclebank - they have the $1/1 Kashi coupons that make a GREAT deal for you this week when stacked with the $1/3 from Target.com! If you printed those $5/1 Mossimo Target Qs, they will make for $1 shirts this week! Pharmacy Coupons seem to be a thing of the past .... sigh. Happy Shopping!

I don't really talk about CVS as I never shop there. It's a long drive for me (18 miles) compared to the closest Walgreen's (1 mile). They DO have a great program, actually - better than Walgreen's with their Extra Care Bucks (ECB)!   The place to go, to see the deals a few weeks in advance is http://www.iheartcvs.com/  .This is a site that helps do some of the work for you: pointing out the deals of the week and matching up the coupons/ECB offers!   There offical coupon policy is here  for you to print off and keep in your coupon box/binder.   General guidelines to further (ExtraBucks Rewards and ExtraCare Coupons) • Coupons and their face value cannot be exchanged for cash or gift cards. • Competitor coupons are not accepted at CVS/pharmacy. • CVS/pharmacy does not accept coupons for items not carried in our stores. • CVS/pharmacy does not currently accept coupon bar code images displayed on a Smartphone,iPhone, Droid, etc • The total value of the coup...

You have seen this all over the blogs this week - the FREE Disney Princess call! You have a short series of questions like which princess, what kind of call and then, when you want the call...it was fun to let Miss Sarah know that she has been doing a good job by her favorite princess (Tiana) - she got a kick out of it! Keep in mind, you can only get two calls per phone number -- so you might need to use the Cell if you have more than two of your own little princesses at home! Just go HERE to get started - it's FREE and sponsored by Target!

I LOVE shopping at Cub Foods!! A lot of people forget that they take expired coupons for up to 3 months...that can get you some really great deals, as you will see below. I had BIG plans for Cub Foods today - and their extra box tops promo: I was going to play the "grocery game" where I check out, leave the store and go back in to shop again. I couldn't do it because after coupons, my total was $.07 - the cashier was so excited that she called over the other cashiers to see.   (sigh) They all knew me and there was no way I could back in and shop again. Here is what  I got today (27 items): For the Box Tops deal (I got a bonus 35 box tops) 6 Betty Crocker Boxed Potatoes 1 can corn 3 cans refried OEP bean then I added: 2 boxes Purina One cat food 1 # ground beef 1# grapes 5 can Red Gold Tomatoes 1 Loaf Cub White Bread 4 Simply Single OJ Uncle Ben's Ready Rice Coupons Used: Store coupons for FREE Grapes, 10/$5 BTFE items, Red Gold Tomatoes $.69 (l...

If you use Pampers, you probably have noticed the points... We no longer use them but have gotten fun tings from Miss Sarah when we did...all because of those codes and their Gifts To Grow Program.

In my TV segment that airs on Tuesday, you might see me refer to the Johnsonville Sale at Copp's (and Pick N Save) : $3.88 for a 1# pack of brats or Italian Sausage. I mentioned the $1/1 coupon on their website and how it brings it down to $1.88, after doubling, on a Wednesday. I say you MIGHT as they shot almost 2 hours with me and I have NO idea how they will pare that down to a 3-4 minute segment, LOL! HERE is that coupon - print it NOW before it's out of prints...I plan to get the Italian Sausage - it only takes 2 cooked and crumbled ones to make a super tasty lasagna!

Have you signed up yet? They have new coupons every month. You get some fun ideas in an occasional email. It's FREE   What are you waiting for? =)

Have you signed up with them yet? You don't see an instant drop at the register, but get it back AFTER the fact. Think of it as a 5th layer on the coupon shopping cake 1 = buying at sale pricing 2 = using a store coupon 3 = stacking with a manufacturer coupon (hopefully it gets doubled) 4 = mail in rebates 5 = SavingStar -  cash back! You can actually get PAID to take things home from the store -- Make MONEY on them!! Here is an example: Hormel Compleates $3.39 On sale for $2.50 Store coupon $.50 (when you buy 10) Use $.55 manufacturer coupon (doubled) and use 5 BOGO $3 rebate when you buy 5 $.75 SavingStar I buy 10 and pay $2 at the store. I get $3 back from the Rebate offer and then $7.50 from SavingStar. This PAYS me $.85 each to bring them home! Keep in mind that this is a "dead" deal that I just shared ...but you can see how it works! $3.39 x 10 = $33.90, I MADE $8.50, so it is a $42.40 credit in my favor...and that is JUST ONE ITEM! What are you waiti...
