Guest posters

Looks like there will be a list next week after all. So far we have Becca covering Cub, Becky is going to take CVS, and Karin has said she is willing to be in charge of Walgreens.

No one has taken Rainbow or Target yet, but hopefully by next week we will have someone for those also.

Cheap meat at Cub

I know it might be a little late, but yesterday I found hambergur for $.99per lb at Cub in Shakopee. They might have some left so it's worth checking if you are heading that way.

Also this afternoon I was in Eden Prairie and they had Hillshire Farms cheddarwarst 16oz pks for $.99 each. The date on them was March 27th. There were 6 in each pack.

Kellogg's Coupons

Sometimes I forget that not everyone looks at grocery shopping like me. I tend to think of it as a scavenger hunt for coupons as a go throughout the store. Thank goodness Noah is usually very patient with me because it is not uncommon to find us going down every isle in search of new coupons that are out.

It can be problematic when making the list because I tend to have or know of all sorts of non-insert coupons and forget that most of you aren't crazy like me and have no idea what I am talking about.

So, where are these mysterious Kellogg's coupons which I speak of?

Most of my Kellogg's coupons are just from the paper. I have had them for a long time so I don't remember when they came out. I know that there are some expired ones in my stack also.

There are a lot of peelies out there too. I have ones from this fall for B2G1 free. I just traded with this lady on hotcouponworld.com for more because I had used the five I had from this fall. There are peelies for B2 frosted flakes or rice Krispies G1 rice Krispies w/strawberries free. I saw these about 2 weeks ago at Rainbow, but haven't found any at Cub yet. There are also peelies on the special k cereals for free single packet of Special K protein water.

There are also printable Kellogg's coupons. One for $3/2 Raisin Bran. You have to take a short survey and give the right answers to get the $3/2 otherwise you get a $3/3 coupon. I believe the right answers were Post Raisin Bran and 7-12 times per year. There is also one for $1/1 Rice Krispies with Strawberries. There is a new on out for $1 off any produce WYB 2 featured cereals.

I think there are more out there because I saw someone asking for trades of B1G1 free, but I have never seen them. There are also non insert coupons for $.70/1 Frosted Flakes with honey. I ended up with about 10 of these around Christmas time.

I was at the store yesterday and noticed that the signs were still up for all the 5/$10 cereal from last week. Pair that with the cereal on sale this week for $2.50 and the coupons out there it makes for a nice overage each time if you can work it right.

Walgreens deals for this week

Thanks to Karin we have some Walgreens deals this week. Sometimes I just don't see stuff. I love it when people let me know because sometimes there are great deals that I just overlook for some reason. Karin sent me these yesterday. Thanks Karin! Enjoy

Here's what I found at Walgreens:
Coke 12 packs 5/$11
Duracell Coppertop Batteries 2.99 coupon + .75 MF= 2.25
Palmolive Dish Liquid .99 coupon + .25 MF= .74

CVS Printable Coupons

Just to let you all know, CVS has changed the wording on their printable coupons. They now say something to the effect that they are only to be used by those who have received them as an email.

I know for me this was disappointing because I have signed up 4 times and still have never gotten an email from them. I did sign up again so we will see what happens.

If you already have a card you can update your info on their website. It seems like once they have your email you should get all the same coupons that used to be posted on the web.

Weekly List

Alright, here we go. This week seems a little lean. I have noticed that the week before and after a major holiday don't have many good deals. It seems like two weeks before are best for stocking up.

I didn't find anything of note at Walgreens this week. I know there are probably some things I missed, but it seemed like most things could be found for less at other stores.

Cub
The Kellogg's cereal deal is still going on this week. There are a variety of cereals for $2.50 and still many coupons to go with them. For every 7 Kellogg's cereals you buy you get a printout for $10 off your next purchase. The coupon does roll, which means you are able to use the $10 off to buy another 7 cereal and will still get another $10 coupon at the end. It helps to make it free or give you an overage. I have done the deal 3 times and still have some coupons left.

Smokehouse ham $.98 per lb with in ad coupon and $25 purchase
Cub 2pk milk $4.98 with in ad coupon
Grapers First lb Free

Vacation, Surgery, and Noah=No Blogging Time

I am thinking about taking a couple of weeks off after I post the list for this week. We are heading to Colorado on Thursday for Easter and then I have a busy week when we get back.

I am not planning on making a list for March 23 or March 30. Becca had a great idea about having guest posters. I think it would be a great way for some of you to try your hand at it. I know a lot of you are finding great deals on your own and I would love if you would be willing to share on the blog for a couple of weeks.

I was thinking that maybe a couple of you would volunteer to be in charge of a store for one of both of the weeks. You could write it up in any manner you wanted, it doesn't have be look like mine. You could email me or just post it as a comment and I would get it onto the front page. It doesn't have to be anything high stress, I just think some of you might have fun at it. I know there is a lot of talent lurking out there. Give it some thought. I might come asking if no one volunteers.

Another thing of note is my dad will be having back surgery in April. There is a long recovery time where he will be needing help. I'm not sure how much time I will be over there while him, I might only be able to do a short list during that time. Just wanted to give you all a heads up on that too.

I should be able to post some of the list tomorrow and finish up on Wednesday. Noah has a slight case of pneumonia, but is doing much better. His med is causing him not to be tired so I don't know how much naptime blogging I will get done.
