Random updates

I didn't have a lot of time this week for blog updates, but I am still planning on adding to the CVS filler/overage ideas.

Also I'll be adding a post about Once Upon a Child soon. I know some of you have asked about how it works and what I do. If you have any ideas on things you would like to see just let me know. You could add a comment on the blog or just send an email.

For now the coupon train is on hold. There were about 4 people who let me know they were interested. I'm trying to figure out the best way to do it so that it doesn't take so long for each person to get the coupons.

This weeks deals

Hi all,

This week seems to be a slow week. I seem to feel the need to search extra hard on weeks like this to find some great deal. I tend to spend way too much time looking for it and just need to realize that it's not out there, or is heaven forbid it is there and I miss it that it will be alright and life will go on for all of us.

My paper didn't have a Walgreens ad in it this week so unless Noah and I stop over there we won't have a WG list this week.

There are a couple of things that I am not sure on the price yet. I am putting them in so you can watch for them and will try to edit later when I have a chance to go to the store.

Aldi
Carrots 2lb $.69
Yellow onion 3lb $.79
Russet Potatoes 5lb $1.49
Sweet or red onions 2lb $.79

Rainbow
Milk $2.50 per gallon, -$1/1 milk peelie from Target=1/$1.50
Kraft salad dressing 16 oz $2.86, -50% off, -$.75/2=2/$2.11 +$1 free produce WYB 2 (tear pad)
LifeSavers 2.75-7oz bags $1, -$1/2 MF, =2/$1
Roundy's white bread $.66
Northland Cranberry Juice blends $3, -$1/1 Blinkie currently at cub=1/$2
Spaghettios $.60, -$.40/2=2/$.80
Muir Glen organic soups $2, -$.75/1, -$1 OYNO WYB 4=4/$4

CUB

There are many BOGO meat coupons this week. I'm not sure on the actual price per lb on most of them I am just going to leave them off. There are coupons for the Patrick Cudahy bacon and also the Bob Evans sausage. I didn't notice for anything else, but will check again later after I get my coupons sorted.

Grapes, First lb free with in ad coupon=FREE
Mangoes $.88 each
Kraft dressing $1.66, -$.75/2=2/$2.57 +$1 free produce WYB 2 (tear pad coupon)
Bertolli 24 oz $6.99
Ben and Jerrys $3
Total=$9.99
-$2 off your order in ad coupon
-$2.50 printable bertolli here (had to use internet explorer for mine)
-$.25 Cub coupon for ben and jerry's (this weeks coupon insert)
Total=$5.24 not a great deal, but not bad for a dinner/movie and icecream night
Lean Cuisine $?, -50% off, -$1/5=5/? (might be possible to price match the 50% off at walmart for better savings. Their everyday price should be much lower then cub's so 50% off would make for a better deal)
EggLands best $2.53, -$.50 MF=1/$2.03 I noticed this weekend that with the coupon these were only a couple of cents more then the cub brand. I haven't tried them yet, but have been told they taste much better then regular eggs.

I'll keep adding the other stores as I get a chance. Sorry I didn't get the list finished last week. I'm hoping to get one more store done tonight and then work on the rest tomorrow during nap time.

Alright, I'm finally getting back to this. I got the last couple of stores written down last night, but it was just too late to try and post them on the computer. I still haven't been out this week, so no Walgreens ad. Noah and I are going out this afternoon so I will try to stop in and grab one. Hopefully they will have next months Easy Saver book out so I can get one of those too.

First, there are a couple of additions to the stores at the top of the list.

Rainbow
Suave $.79, -$1/2 MF =2/$.58
Quacker instant oatmeal $3.36, -50% off sale, -$.40/1=1/$1.28 There are also $1/1 coupons for the simple harvest veriaty. I'm not sure if it is on sale or not,but the price would be 1/$.68

Cub
For the Bertolli/Ben and Jerry deal there is a Cub coupon that was in the Sunday paper. It is for $1/1 Bertolli. When I looked at it the first time I thought that it was $1/2 so I didn't add it. The final price with all coupons would be $4.24 for the Bertolli and Ben & Jerry's.

Now onto the new stores;

Snyders

There is an in-ad coupon for a free 8x10 scrapbook page. I haven't looked into it too much, but I think it is the type you make at the Kioske. The coupon says "Free 8x10 instant scrapbook pages" The coupon is on page 3. It does say limit one even though the coupon says "pages."

Snapple water $.80, $1/2mf=2/.60
Tick Tacs $.89, 2/$1 in ad coupon, $.55/2=2/$.45
Bic comfort 3 disposable razor 2/$5, -$2/1MF=1/$.50

Target
This is the last week for the MP frozen fish coupon, and the banana coupon. I found more sting cheese yesterday. They had two unopend boxes and two open boxes in Shakopee. It seems like the Super Targets have fulled it off the shelf for now. Everyone I have checked doesn't seem to have it. The Exp date was June something so the ones in the new boxes are good for a long time.

Market Pantry string cheese $0.24, -.50/2 Target coupon (TC)=2/free (coupon is not adjusting automatically)
Market Pantry fish sticks $2.54, -$1.00/1 TC=1/$1.54
Bananas .52 per lb, -$0.50/2 lbs=2lbs/$0.54
Morning Star Veggi products $2.99, -$2 TC, -$.75/1 MF=1/$.25
Campbell's healthy request soups, chunky or select. $1.25, -$.50/1 TC, $.50/2 MF=2/$1
Glad wisp flamless candle. $5.99, $5.00/1 IP here=1/$.99

CVS
The only current coupons are $4/20. There were a lot of coupons from last week that your store might let you use. I know in Shakopee I have been told it is alright to use coupons for a little over a week after the exp date.

Revlon, Buy $20, get $10 ECB, there are various $1 and $2 MF coupons, -$4/$20 CVS=Not sure on the final price, but even if you only buy 2 products and use 2 $1/1 coupons the most you would pay is $4 there are many better options, but it depends on that you want to get. Limit 3
Nestle easter candy $2.50, -Buy $10, get $5 ECB $1/2 IP here=4/$3
Venus Embrace $9.99, -$2/1MF, -$2/1 CVS from last week, -$6 ECB=Free with $.o1
overage
Gillette Fusion $9.99, -$4/1 MF, -$6.00 ECB=1/Free with $.01 overage. This deal is limit one Embrace OR on Fusion. You can't get the ECBs on both.
Stayfree $5.00, -$2 IP here, -$2 ECB WYB 2, -$3.50 CRT (cash register tape coupon)=2/$.50
Softsoap $1.79, -$.35/1, -$1 ECB=1/$.44
Irish Spring 3pk soap $1.79, -$.30/1, -$1 ECB=1/$.49 Limit one Softsoap or Irish Spring, you can't get ECB on both.

I think that is everything for this week. I know I've said it before, but please let me know if there are things that you use a lot or are looking for a deal on. Sometimes I don't even notice a good deal because I don't use the product. I'd be happy to keep my eye out if you let me know about something you would like.
