Good deals for the week

I don't think I will get a list made this week, but I wanted to highlight a few things that stood out to me. I'm sure that there are many more, but these are just a few of the things I noticed.

Rainbow
one gallon Roundy's milk $1.68
Progress $1 Good price is you still have $1.10 IPs left to use.
2lb bag of carrots $1
Farmland sausage 12-16oz $1
Muir glen Salsa $2.50 -$1/1 MF insert or peelie (good price when it doubles)

Aldi
8oz Mushrooms white, sliced, or baby bella $.99
4pk Roma tomatoes $.99

Target
Jason is price checking a few things for me so I'll try to update this later. For now this is what I have.

Huggies Gentle Care 188pk wipes $5.99, -$5 IP=$.99
Ortega taco seasoning $.47, -$1/2 MF=2/.06 overage


Cub
1LB roll Hormel always Tender ground pork $1, -$1/1 MF=1/Free
1.7lb Hormel Always Tender boneless seasoned pork loin fillet $5, -$1/1=1/$4
Free first lb grapes with in ad coupon. No other purchase necessary
Buy $20 of participating P&G or Pepsi products get $5 OYNO
Selected Kellogg's cereal and poptarts $1.67, -$1/1 MF for cereals and $1/1 peelie for poptarts=1/$.67
Radishes and green onions $.50
Wild Harvest Organic salad $2.50, -$1/1 IP=1/$1.50
Wild Harvest Artisan bread ?? Free WYB 2 Wild Harvest Organic Salad

It sounds like there are some really good deals at Walgreens this week. I'm still trying to figure them out. I am hoping to get it worked out and start building up and overage in RR for next weeks Huggies deal.

March Budget

I really want to try and start the month out right and keep up to date with the budget this month. I'm sure it will depend on if "baby" comes this month, but at least I am off to a good start.

I ended last month about $7 over budget, but still had a $10 OYNO at Cub. Slightly over budget, but not too bad being until baby comes and gets a little bigger I am planning in my head that we won't really be able to stick to the $85 each month. I've been doing pretty good, but it is a little impractical when I have to depend on someone to go shopping with me each time. It can be a lot to ask of people.

I have an awful cold and needed some honey to put in my tea so I went out to Target yesterday morning. A couple of weeks ago I noticed that Ortega taco seasoning was $.47. I knew I has $1/2 coupons so I brought those along. Here is what I ended up with:

24oz Honey $4.59
14 Ortega taco seasoning $.47=$6.58
2 Ortega taco sauce $1.27=$2.54

Used 8 $1/2 Ortega MF
Total $5.71

Total for the month $5.71
Total left to spend $79.29 +$10 OYNO at Cub

Budget Update

We decided to head back to Cub on Saturday night and grab some more soup. All in all we got 30 more cans of soup and another 2 gallons of milk. The grand total for the three transactions was $10.78. I rolled the $10 OYNO and still have one left to use. All in all that puts me at;


This Trip $10.78
Total so far this month $92.15
Total OVER BUDGET $7.15 + $10 OYNO

If you deduct the $10 OYNO I still have $2.85 left, but budgets don't really work that way do they?

I don't see much in the adds this week that interest me. We have plenty of milk and bread on hand so I won't need to be getting those. Jason will be picking up some salad and veggies at Super Target later because they are supposed to be $.50 after the TC.

The only other thing that could add to me being over budget is the Kmart Super Doubles. I'm not sure if I am going to try and get over there or not. If I do go I'll probably stick with just the free or nearly free items, so I don't anticipate spending very much even if I make it over there.

Kmart Super Doubles

It looks like the Kmarts in our area are doing double coupons again this week. They will double MF coupons up to $2 in face value. I didn't read all the fine print, but the only things that really stood out to me where;

#1 Only 4 like coupons doubled at a time.
#2 Limit of 25 coupons doubled per day.
# No IP coupons will be doubled.

I'm not sure if I will be able to make it out this time or not. We'll just have to wait and see. If I go I'll try to post an update about what things are free or great deals. I'm sure if you head over to Hotcouponworld.com or Afullcup.com there will be some sort of list about what is free or what you should be getting.

Free Arby's Roast Burger

Looks like today is the day of "free" internet finds. This one is for a Free Arby's Roast Burger with the purchase of ANY drink. I would assume that you could order a small pop for around $1 and then get the sandwich for free. Looks like a pretty nice sandwich too considering it is free.

Here is the link for the coupon. From here you can print off the coupon. You can also check out their menu to learn more about the sandwich. Looks like there are three types; Cheddar Bacon, All-American, Bacon and Blue.

Free Quiznos Sub

Quiznos is giving away 1 Million subs. All you need to do is enter your info and they will send you an email with a coupon to print. You can get a free "small" Everyday Value, or Signature Classics sub with no other purchase necessary.

I was able to sign up with each email I have access to so we have plenty for now. :) Make sure to check your Junk or Spam folder. That is where they came to for my Gmail account. They came just to the regular inbox for Yahoo and Juno. Not sure about MSN cause I haven't gotten it there yet.

The coupon expired 5 days from when it is sent. I didn't really think of this so all mine expire on Friday, but I was hoping to use this this weekend. Oh well, free is free right?

There is a counter on the page so you can tell how many free subs are left. They have given out about 65,000 in the last three hours. The total # right now is 132,235.

Save $10/10 and also $5/5 at JCPenny's

I've been putzing (sp) on the internet this afternoon and came across two different code for JCPenny's.

The first is an online only code to save $10 off any $10 purchase or more. I haven't tried it yet because I haven't found anything instock that I wanted, but it is reported to be working still.

At checkout enter REWARD into the "promotion code" box and it should deduct $10 from your total.

There is also a $5 off any $5 purchase or more coupon. You do need to sign up for this, but it comes as a printable coupon and can be used in store of online. In order to get the $5 you will need to sign up for JCP Rewards. It's Penny's free rewards program that they started this fall.

Sign up here, and enter 3050 into the "promotional code" box. When you hit submit it will ask for your credit card info so they can track how much you spend and you can earn future rewards. YOU DO NOT NEED TO ENTER A CREDIT CARD. If you don't want to give them your info simply clip "log out" at the top of the page. If you log back in it should show that you have a $5 reward waiting to be printed.

If you don't enter your credit info you won't be able to earn rewards by shopping at Penny's, but may still receive promotional emails and rewards from them. I chose not to enter my info for now, but may add it later.

Both the $10/10 and the $5/5 should be able to be used together online for a total of $15 off any $15 purchase or more. The $5/5 coupon should have an online code on it once it is printed. This code should be entered into the "Reward Certificate" box.

Hope you find some great deals. Any questions, let me know.

Cub shopping trip yesterday

I finally made it to Cub yesterday. Mom was nice enough to take Noah and I, plus bend and lift all the various things I was getting.

We were able to do ten rounds in just over an hour and a half. I was pretty pleased with that being it usually takes much longer then that with this type of deal. We did a set of 3 transaction, 4 transaction, and then another 3 transactions.

The one thing I was disappointed in was that when my coupons came in the mail yesterday the fruit snack coupons were only good on Betty Crocker Fruit Roll-up Fruit Stackers fruit snacks. I had read the description on the website wrong and thought that they would be good on Betty Crocker Fruit Roll-ups, Fruit Stackers, or Fruit Snacks. Not a huge issue, but a I was looking forward to some Gushers and thought Noah would have had fun picking out different types of fruit snacks.

-$10 OYNO
-$3.50 OYNO
-$3.99 Free Chex Chocolate Mix (Coupon should have been for $2, but register too off $3.99 max value automatically so cashier could not change it.)
Total $4.30

In the end my total OOP was $22.42 and I still have a $10 OYNO coupon left, so my final total for everything is $12.42. The really sad thing is that $4.97 of this is sales tax on the fruit snacks. If it wasn't for that my total would have been $7.45 Either way it was a great deal!

I think that I am going back tonight for some more soup. Other then that I am done.

Just wanted to add that the only other grocerys this week were on Wednesday at Rainbow. Jason stopped for me on his way home and this is what he got

2 gallons milk $1.68
4 Roundy's cheese $.99
2 Chicken of the Sea $.39
5 Nesquick 20oz chocolate milk
Used 5 $.50/1 Nesquick coupons that doubled
After coupon total was $8.10

That means this week we spent $30.52
Total so far this month $81.37
Total left to spend $3.63 + $10 OYNO

I'm thinking that I will be just a bit over this month if I go back for more soup. I'm planning on getting at least 20 cans for a total of $5 after coupons. I'll probably grab one more two pack of milk if the date if far enough out. I have enough milk right now till mid March so they need to have a pretty good date on it for me to grab one.

Changes to Rainbow Doubles

I finally went to pull my coupons tonight and give the list to Jason so he could stop on his way home. My Sara Lee coupons are expired. I was sure they were good till April, but I was wrong. I had to rework my plan and this is what I came up with:

2 Roundy's Milk $3.36 ($6.58 regular price)
2 Chicken of the see $.78 ($1.58 Regular Price)
1 Fresh Express Spinach $1 ($2.49 Regular Price)
4 Roundy's 8oz cheese $3.96 ($11.96 Regular Price)
Total $9.10 ($22.61 Regular Price)

To this I'll either add
10 Barilla Plus Pasta $?.??, -$1/2 MF
or
5 Nesquik $1, -$.50/1

I'd rather have the pasta, but if it is more expensive then I am willing to pay, then Jason will get the chocolate milk and end up with a treat. My OOP is more then I was thinking, but I don't think I'd be able to find a lower price on any of the items so it will be alright. The free milk or pasta will just be a plus.

Rainbow Doubles Idea

It's not a full list, but at least this will give you an idea of some things that might be good to add to your doubles plan for Wednesday.

I wasn't going to do Rainbow this week after I added up the budget Friday and realized I had spent more then I was thinking. Amazing how that happens when your not paying attention.

I was just going to stick with Cub this week and work on the Buy 10 get $10 deal and maybe do one buy $25 get $10, but after I looked at the Rainbow ad I think I might do one or two rounds as follows.

It comes out to be a really good deal when you can work your doubles off of $25 for the regular price instead of the sale price.

2 Roundy's Milk $3.36 ($9.87 regular price)
2 Chicken of the see $.78 ($1.58 Regular Price)
2 Sara Lee Soft and Smooth bread $4 ($6.98 Regular Price)
1 Fresh Express Spinach $1 ($2.49 Regular Price)
1 Green Gaint Steamers $1 ($1.69 Regular Price)
2 Roundy's 8oz cheese $1.98 ($5.98 Regular Price)
Total $12.12 ($28.59 Regular Price)

-2 $1 off milk WYB Sara Lee soft and Smooth bread-doubled=-$4
-$.50/1 Green Giant Steamers-doubled=-$1
Total $7.12

I still have two coupons that I could double so maybe I'll be able to find a couple of things that would be free after the doubles. I think the Kraft Dressing might be one of them. I'll have to check my coupons.

I also noticed that it says "Kraft Specialty Sauce" is $1. I'm wondering if that is A1 or some type of marinade. If so I think there are $1/1 coupons out for A1. That would make it free and then $1 overage if it doubles. Through in two of those and it would bring the total down to $5.12. At that price I would do two rounds for sure if I can find enough of the coupons to make it work.

Free Fruit Snacks at Cub

Just wanted to let you all know that Betty Crocker fruit snacks are free this week at Cub. They are part of the Buy 10 get $10 OYNO deal. There is also a seperate Cat printing for $3.50 OYNO WYB 5.

The best way to make this deal work is to buy 5 fruit snacks at a time as part of the 10 items needed for the $10 OYNO.

5 Fruit snacks $2, -2 $1/2 MF=10/$8
-$1 per item for the OYNO deal=-$5
-$3.50 OYNO WYB 5 fruit snacks=-$3.50
Total $.50 overage on 5 boxes after you divide out the $10 OYNO coupon per item.

It seems like I work so hard to buy healthy items and then stores go and tempt me with yummy things that have no nutritional value, yet they will give them to me for free! It's pretty hard to resist sometimes.

IP Coupon match-up for this weeks Cub at

Cub as two different sections of Buy X get $XX OYNO this coming week. Some of the items seem to be a very good deal even without coupons. I'm sure there are inesrt coupons out there or most of the items, but I thought I would start a post about IP coupon that would match-up also. Sometimes the IPs are a higher value then the insert coupons.


Pillsbury has many coupons that match the buy 10 items get $10 OYNO. The link works for all of them, but the best ones are;
$.60/1 Cheerios mix= $.40 after coupon
$.60/1 Chex mix= $.40 after coupon
$.75/2 Fruit snacks=2/$1.25 after coupon


Betty Crocker has many of the same coupons as Pillsbury. I haven't printed yet so I am not sure if you can print from both sites. I am guessing you can because they are different web addresses, but not sure. Some of the ones of note here are;
$.60/1 Cheerios mix= $.40 after coupon
$.60/1 Chex mix= $.40 after coupon
$.75/2 Fruit snacks=2/$1.25 after coupon
$.50/1 Betty Crocker cookie mix=$.29 after coupon
$.55/1 Betty Crocker frosting= $.14 after coupon
$.55/1 Betty Crocker Warm Delights= $.29 after coupon

Coupons.com also has a few coupons that will match up. The only ones that really stand out are;
$.60/1 Cheerios snack mix=$.40 after coupon
$1.10/1 Wanchai Ferry chinese Dinner=$1.89 after coupon

RedPlum.com seems to have the same coupons as coupons.com. Not much variety, but it is nice to be able to get multiple coupons if you need them.


Here are some other IPs for the Buy 10 products get $10 OYNO
$1/1 Chex Mix=Free
$1.10/1 Can Progresso Soup-supposed to be a new link=$.60 overage after coupon
Possible second link for $1.10/1 coupon
$1/1 Pillsbury cough dough=$.79 after coupon
$1/2 and $2/4 Progresso soup=2/Free and 4/Free after coupons

Here is what I've found so far for the Buy $25 get $10 OYNO section
$1/2 Crunch 'n Munch=2/$.20

This Months Budget

I realize that I am quite behind in any type of posting. It just seems to take more effort then I have right now with baby. She will be here soon though and then slowing I am hoping things will pick up again. I miss blogging and I miss knowing I'm able to help some of you save some money.

I'm going to attempt a budget run down for the month. I really don't get out much right now so we really haven't bought a ton this month. Lots of milk from Rainbow when it was on sale, and then last night Jason took me out and we got some things that are on sale this week.

I'm realizing that I am loosing track of what we are spending. Partly because I'm not writing it all down, and partly because I have been using the grocery cash, my debit card, and also gift cards that have been in my purse forever and need to finish up.

This is going to have to be a best guess budget being I don't have receipts for the last two week. Most of it I can remember, but I might not get all the coupons correct. I guess that you'll just have to bear with me and see how it ends up.


February 1
Target
Archer Farms chips $2.33

February 3-Cub
Eggs $1.49

February 4-Rainbow
Ice cream $.99

We bought 10 gallons of milk the first week of February for $1.68 per gallon=$16.80

February 7-Cub
4 Cub butter $.99 4/$2.97
2 Wild Harvest tortilla chips $1.89, -$.75/1 Cub coupon (kiosk), -$1/1 MF IP=2/.28
2 3lb bags of apples $3.99, BOGO Cub coupon= 2/$3.99
1 Random item for appox $1. I know we got something else, but I just can't remember

February 9-Rainbow
Eggs $.98

February 11-Rainbow
Two identical rounds of:
9 28oz Muir Glen organic tomatoes $1.66, -$1/1= 9/$5.94
2 Burilla Pasta $.88=2/$1.76
-$5 in doubled coupons =$2.70 x2=$5.40 total

February 13-Cub
30 Dole canned pineapple $.48, -10 $1/3 MF=30/$4.40
6 Old El Paso refried beans $.98=6/$5.88
3 Old El Paso taco seasoning mix $.75, -3 Free WYB 2 Old El Paso products=3/Free
Total$10.28

Target
I'm going to lump all the Target purchases into one list instead of writing them out separately. According to the new wording on the Target IP coupon you are only allowed to use one like Target coupon per transaction. One store we did 6 transactions at and one store they had us put all the juice together in one transaction being it was easier for them.
21 Ocean Spray Ruby Red $1.99, -$1/1 Target coupon, -$1/1 MF=21/-$.21 overage before tax
6 Koolaid packets $.22=6/$1.32
Total $1.11 before tax, $3.86 after

Cub #2
15 Dole canned pineapple $.48, -5 $1/3 MF=15/$2.20
10 Bush's best beans $.58=10/$5.80
4 Dole canned pears $1.18, -$1/4=4/$3.72
-$3 ONYO that I had from two weeks ago
Total $8.72

Total so far this month $50.85
Total left to spend $34.15

I think I got everything that we've picked up. It's good that I was able to get everything written down because I thought that we had only spent about $35-$40 instead of just over $50. Right now it is harder for me to get out and harder to cook so I am a little more inclined to spend more on easy to prepare meals. My goal is still $85 each month, but I feel like in reality it will end up being closer to $100.
Another thing is we've bought enough milk for the rest of the month already, but I'll have Jason get some this coming week because Cub has their twin packs on sale for $3.28 with in ad coupon. This will mean cheap milk for the first few weeks on next month, even though the cost will be part of this months total.

Cub $10/$100 plan update

Cub is having a 3 Day sale on their 3lb bags of frozen chicken breast. They are $4.99.

Being I still have $8 something to make it to my $100 I am planning on grabbing 2 of these for the chicken instead of finding small packs of chicken for around $2. That means I will be able to use the 3 $2 off chicken coupons from buying the Kraft dressing on them.

It will add in 9lbs of chicken breast and bring my pre-coupon total to $100.77. My post coupon, post $10/$100 total should come out to be $17.81 if everything works the way it should.

I am a little nervous about using so many kraft coupons at a time, and about using more then one of the MF in ad coupons also. We'll have to see how it goes. I'll try to post what I end up with. Hopefully they aren't out of things like the OJ and stuff like that. Also hoping I can bring the $1/1 Keebler cracker IP. I haven't tried yet, but Jason wasn't able to print it from work so we'll have to see.

My Cub shopping list for the week

Last week Cub and Holiday ran a dual promotion that if you bought 12 gallons of gas you received a coupon for $10/$100 at Cub. The coupon is good through Saturday. I've been thinking about what to get and how to make it to the $100 mark without actually spending much OOP.

I thought that it might be helpful if I posted my plan. That way if any of you have are looking for ideas you can see what I am planning on doing and what the actual OOP will be.

The $100 is pre-coupon if you give the $10/$100 coupon first. This is helpful to know being there are some BOGO coupons in the new Cub book.

Right now, my goal is to spend less then $20 OOP. I would really like to keep it to about $10, but that seems a little unrealistic even for me. To make it easy to keep track of I am going to put the pre-coupon total in RED and the post coupon total in GREEN

This is what I have so far:
Raincheck for Brownberry bread $1 per loaf, 4/$4 $4
Land of Lakes 1 Gallon OJ $4.99, -Cub BOGO coupon book, -2 $.50/1 MF=2/$3.99 $9.98
Sabra Hummus $3.99, -Cub BOGO coupon Book, -2 $1.50/1 MF=2/.99 $7.98
Keebler Zesta saltines $2.79??, -3/$4.98 Cub book coupon, -3 $1/1 IP=3/$1.98 $8.37
Soup $1.00, -Free soup WYB 2 Keebler Zesta crackers Tearpad MF=1/Free $1.00
Daisy Sour Cream 6oz, $1.39, -$.68 in ad Cub coupon, -$.50/1=1/$.18 $1.39
Carlita refried beans $.66=6/$3.96 $3.96
Carlita seasoning mix, Taco, Enchilada or Fajita $.33=3/$.99 $.99
Pre-coupon tota: $37.67
Post Coupon total: $16.09
The following probably won't be much of a help to you unless you still have left over B3G1 Kraft coupons from this summer. They expired on 8-31-09 so I know that I threw a few of them away. I still have some so it will help me bump up my total by quite a bit.

Wheat Thins, Family size $4.29?, -4 B3G1 Free Kraft coupons=4/Free $17.16
Kraft Shredded Cheese 5-8oz, -Free WYB 3 Nabisco crackers, in ad MF=1/Free $2.22
Kraft 16oz dressing $2, 9 B3G1 Free Kraft coupons, receive $3 OYNO WYB 5=9/$3 overage $18
Chicken $2, 3 Free Chicken up to $2 WYB 3 Kraft Dressing in ad MF=3/Free $6
Produce $1, -4 $1 free produce WYB 2 Kraft Dressing, Tearpad MF=4/Free $4
Kool-Aide $.25, -2 2 Free WYB 10=27/$5.75 $6.75
Pre-Coupon total: $91.80
Post coupon total: $18.84

I have $8.20 left to make it to $100. Even if you don't find anything else with coupons that would bring my totals to $100 pre-coupons and $27.04 post coupons. Take the $10 off of that and my final total should be no more then $17.04.

I think I might just add in some of the apples or pears that are on sale if I don't find anything else. Hopefully some of you will be able to get some ideas on who to maximize your $10/$100 coupons.

Working on the Blog this week

Noah is in Rockford for a few days and then has one day with my mom so I am planning on doing some much needed blogging.

Target IP coupons have new wording on them that states, "One per Transaction." Translation, no more buying 30 of something at a time with TC. This is fairly new wording and most people report that their targets don't care if you do your order in 1 transacation or 30. I would ask at CS for each different Target you go to just to make sure. Remember, it's important to follow the rules for each coupon. First, it's ethical. Second, it helps ensure the retailers and manufacters are willing to continue to offer us great deals.

Ocean Spay light, diet $1.99, -$1/1 TC, -$1/1MF=1/Free

Cub in Eden Prairie

I was in Eden Prairie last weekend and stopped at Cub. I asked about their expired coupon policy and was told that they take expired MF coupons for up to 5 MONTHS past the date. This is great news if you are like me and always seem to have some really good coupons that don't seem to get used. It's also bad news if you are like me and already have more coupons then you know what to do with and are now faced with the decision on what to do with an extra 2 months worth of expired coupons. Looks like it's time for me to add another binder. :)

Just More IPs

Noah and I are home alone this afternoon so I am just trying to get all the new IPs in one place before I head out shopping this evening. Nothing too interesting. If I know of a current deal, I'll add it with the coupon.

Gerber clothing coupons
$2/2 appreal or bedding
$1/1 sleep and play wear
$1/1 Onsies
There are random Gerber clothing on clearance at Target. Some stores have had them for 75% off so they should be cheap or free if you add in the coupon. I did have to sign up to get the link for the coupons. If you can't print try signing up and then you should be good to go.

$1/1 Ocean Spray.
$1/1 Diet Ocean Spary
Pair this with the current $1/1 Target IP and get free juice. They are on sale for $1.99. Not sure if the sale ends this weekend, 1-24-09. I think it runs until 1-27-09, which is the middle of next week. There was also a MF in last weeks insert for this juice.

$3/3 Special K bars, redeem at Target only. Not sure yet if this is a MF. If it is then combine with the Target $1/1 IP for free or cheap special K bars.

$1.50/1 Coffeemate. Must register. Supposed to be on sale at Target for $1.50 per bottle=Free

$2/1 Kashi soft baked cereal bars. Supposed to be $2.79 soon at Target. Check WM also.

$1/1 Pillsbury Grands Biscuits.
Possible 2nd link. On sale at Rainbow this week for $1 each=Free

$2/1 South Beach snack bars. Sale prices are around $2.00-$2.50 per box.

I think that is it for now. Hope some of you can use these. Noah is gone for a few days next week, so I am hoping to catch up on Blogging while I rest.

$44 off a $100 order at Corborns Delivers

There is a great deal going on right now for Coborns Delivers. They used to be Simon Delivers, but Coborns bought them out last summer.

In honor of our 44th President they are offering $44 off a $100 order. I found this over on afullcup.com and am just going to cut and past instead of retyping and rewording it all. Credit goes to Kmchamplin. Thanks Karen!!!

I haven't ordered yet, but others are reporting that everything works fine. Corbons does take MF coupons. If you look under the FAQ they will walk you through how to add them during the checkout process.

If you log in you will be able to change the delivery date to tomorrow. You should be able to get Saturday delivery if you order by 11:00pm tonight.

One idea to get you up to $100 is to purchase postage stamps.

Great In-store and Online Clearance Deals

It seems like there are some really good clearance sales going on this weekend.

Old Navy
Take an additional 50% off the marked clearance price. This is in store and also online. The website was VERY slow earlier today so be patient if you won't want to head out in the cold. For online orders you will need to enter promo code EXTRA50 at checkout. This will take 50% off the clearance price listed.

Kohls
Use your Kohl's card and get up to 30% off the regular, sale, or clearance price. The online code is, SAVE30JAN. There is also a free shipping code, -MVC5773. I'm not sure if the "-" needs to be before the MVC portion of the shipping code. I'd try it without and if it doesn't seem to work try again with the "-". I looks like clearance is picked over online, but this is a good way to get a discount on those items that never seem to go on sale. I'm thinking about a carseat.

JCPenny's
Most items are red ticketed with an additional 40% off, making them around 70%. There are a few areas that seem to have some green tickets with 40%. Becky was able to get some girls shirts for just under $2.

There might be more. I'll update as I find them.


Express
They are having their $9.99 and up Box Sale, along with an extra 40% off the clearance price.
