IP coupons
Thought I would start a post with current internet printable coupons. Meanly, I can't print them right now and wanted a place to keep all the links together. I thought that maybe some of you might be interested in them too. If there is a current deal for the coupon I'll try to list that. Many coupons can be printed twice so it is always worth a try if there is not a limit posted by the link.
Save $1 on produce WYB qualifing Kellogg's cereal (great ad on for the current Target gift card deal). It's a brinks coupon so limit should be two.
Save $1 on Kellogg's Rice Krispies w/Strawberries (also great for the Target deal) Limit 2
Save $1 on any size of Pompeian olive oil (On sale this week at Rainbow) click on savings, then coupons, and check the Pompeian box. limit 1

Save $1 on any wild Harvest Organic, Cub brand(great coupon. I think they can be paired with the coupons that sometimes print out from the coupon machine being those say store and I think this is a MF.

Save $2 on 46oz V.Fusion juice(watch for sales. haven't seen any current deals for this)Limit ?

This is a link to another site that lists out MANY IP coupons. I'm not sure if there is some overlap with what I printed, or if there is a similar coupon you would be able to print it again. Take a look and see what you can find. There were just too many here to type them all up.

My day at Cub-Budget update
I think I have hit the capacity level in my fridge and pantry for a while. This week has been bad for the budget, but my store areas are full to the brim it seems. I'm amazed that no matter what I bring in there always seems to be a place for it. I am relived that as I looked through next weeks Cub ad I didn't see much that I was interested in.
I had a great trip at Cub yesterday. It took forever, but Noah behaved well so it wasn't that bad. I had a ton of coupons for Free X WYB Y. It just too a lot of thought to make sure that I was getting the right things had wasn't forgetting any coupons.
Here is the lowdown on what we got yesterday.
2 box Thai Island Jasmine rice $1(clearance cart) -.50/1=2/$1
10 boxes of Kraft Dressing to go $1, -$1/1=10/Free
2 HillshireFarms smoked sausage $2.50=$5
1 Sara Lee hot dog Buns $1.50, -FREE WYB 2 HillshireFarms smokes Sausage=1/Free
3 Beef sticks from meat counter $1.33, -$1/meat WYB 1 buns, 1 sausage=1/$.33
Kraft Grate it fresh Parmesan cheese $1.50 (clearance cooler), -.55/1=1/$.95
1 carton Kemps Kids milk $2.50, -$1 WYB 1 Sara Lee Soft and smooth bread=1/$1.50
2 Sara Lee Soft and smooth bread $2, =2/$4
3 bags live lettuce $1.50, -$1 off lettuce WYB 2 Kraft dressing, -2 $2 off bagged salad=3/-$.50
1 Personal size watermelon $4, -$3 off whole watermelon WYB buns and sausage, -$1 off produce WYB Kraft Parmesan cheese=1/Free
4 Kiwi $1, -$1 off produce WYB 2 Kraft dressing=4/Free
2 apples $2.17, -$1 off produce WYB 2 Kraft dressing=2/$1.17
1.83 lb bananas $1.08, -$1 off produce WYB 2 Kraft dressing=1.83lb/$.08
.95lb necarines $1.89, -$1 off produce WYB 2 Kraft dressing= .95lb/$.89
.66lb cherries $1.64, -$1 off produce WYB 2 Kraft dressing=.66lb/$.64
-Raincheck for $5 off your order WYB 10 Kraft dressing=-$5
-$5 OYNO Coupon=-$5
In the end I ended up paying $5.06. I noticed last night that they had charged me $1.99per lb for the apples instead of $1 so that would have been $1.08 less on my total. Also I thought that I could use 2 of the $1 off milk coupons being I had bought 2 bread, but she said I would have had to buy 2 bread and 2 milk and wouldn't take the coupon. Not sure who is right, her or me, but she was getting tired of all my coupons and had already called the CSM once so I didn't feel like pushing it. So in the end my total should have been $2.98
I also got another $5 OYNO because I bought another 5 qualifying products, 2 sausage, 2 bread, 1 buns.
Jason also stopped at Rainbow and got me butter so I guess I'd better add that to the total also. $1.88
Total spend $6.94
Total Spend this Month $68.36
Total Left for this Month $16.64 + $5 OYNO @ Cub, and 2 Free milk up to $4 at Rainbow

More cereal...
I kept debating over and over about getting more cereal. We have a ton, but were running out of Cheerios and Rice Chex. I knew that I wanted to get some Propel because I had coupons for it and decided that if I was going to get it anyway then getting the cereal would be a good idea. I ended up doing two transactions yesterday.
Between the two this is what I ended up with:
2 boxes of Wheaties
2 Boxes of Wheat Chex
4 Boxes of Rice Chex
16 Boxes of Cheerios
20 bottles of Propel
2 Gallons of milk
2 coupons for free milk up to $4
total OOP after coupons $16.80
Also got more cheese at Target. Tuesday 4 slices per bag was just over .15 lb each so most of them were $1.05. Yesterday they must have sliced it thiner because ever bag was under $1. The coupon does not adjust or beep if it is under $1, but I don't feel right purposely getting an overage on these. The total for 10 bags came $8.40 so I only used 8 $1/1 coupons. Total OOP $.40
Spending this trip $17.20
Total Spend this Month $61.42
Total Left for this Month $23.58 + $5 OYNO @ Cub, and 2 Free milk up to $4 at Rainbow

It will be labeled Free Summer Movies.

Good deals worth looking into this week.
I haven't gotten the list made up yet, but there are a couple of deals that I thought I would let you know about. I posted them on HCW so I'm just going to take the post from there and ad it here. Yeah, can you tell I'm feeling lazy and tired tonight?
Cub as a deal going through 6-24 where if you buy 5 specified Sara Lee, Ballpark, or Hillshire Farm products you get a $5 OYNO coupon at checkout.
This is what I did today. It's a great price in the end.
4 Johnsonville brats $10
2 Sara Lee Buns $3
-2 B2 Johnsonville, get 1 buns free= $3
-$5 print out
Total OOP $5 for 4lbs of brats. I know the ad says sausage, but it pictures cheddarwarst as does the coupons. I got the Cheddarwaurst and it worked just fine.
I think there are MF for the brats, but not sure. Maybe $.35/1. That would mean an extra $1.40 off if you have 4 of them. It would make it less then $1 per lb + the free buns.
Rainbow also has buy 6 cereal get $10 off + 1 free milk. If you have some good coupons this can be a good deal. I thought I had it all figured, but just realized I had it all wrong. Maybe I can work up another plan and post it later.

What have I been buying?
Time for an update on a few things.
The garage sale went well. We had been collecting free items from CVS, Target, wherever. Pretty much anything that was free or that would make money when you bought it. We had almost two tables full of items and sold most everything. The only thing that didn't sell was the hair dye and diabetic meters.
I actually accomplished my long long list of places to go last Wednesday. Being I was going out for double coupons at Rainbow I wanted to get all the other stops for the week done as well.
I have some reciepts to ad up also. I can't seem to find the one for Rainbow last Wednesday, but know what I got.

I bought a lot of stuff at CVS with rainchecks last month. I try to hold them until I have coupons to go with them or I can use the raincheck and get an ECB with it. I wanted to get extra things for the garage sale so I just used up most of the rainchecks I had. In the end I paid out $3.99 in ECB, and $1.76 on a gift card. I made $18 back in ECB so the total profit was $12.25 in ECBs.

The garage sale went well. We had been collecting free items from CVS, Target, wherever. Pretty much anything that was free or that would make money when you bought it. We had almost two tables full of items and sold most everything. The only thing that didn't sell was the hair dye and diabetic meters.
I actually accomplished my long long list of places to go last Wednesday. Being I was going out for double coupons at Rainbow I wanted to get all the other stops for the week done as well.
I have some reciepts to ad up also. I can't seem to find the one for Rainbow last Wednesday, but know what I got.

DOUBLE COUPONS TOMORROW
Becca just called me. She was at Rainbow today and said that there was a sign on the register saying there will be double coupons EVERY Wedneday until September! I called the Bloomington store and they confirmed that it is EVERY Wednesday!!!!
It is the same deal a usual. Spend $25 get up to 5 $1 coupon doubled.
Becca posted a comment about this. She also asked if you can use more then 5 coupons. The answer is YES. Use as many coupons as you can find. Only 5 will be doubled, but to maximize the deal use all the coupons you can. :)
So far my best deal looks like this.
10 Powerade=$10
1 24 pk Dassani =$4.99?
11 Farmland suasage=$11
Coupons
11 Farmland=$11 off
2 $.75/1 Powerade (it's all I have)=$1.50
1 Free Dassani=$4.99
Total $3.50
I would love to be able to get some more Powerade coupons. Does any one know if any stores in the area carry Sunday papers all week?

Updates to this weeks list
Alright, I didn't expect to be back this soon, but here is something I missed.
Cub
Simply potatoes hash brownes $2.23, -BOGO Cub coupon, -$1/2 MF=2/$1.23
CVS
This is a direct copy of the email Becky sent me. It's too late for me to edit it tonight, but I wanted to get it on because I will be out all tomorrow shopping and then getting ready for the garage sale this weekend.
As I find more I will edit this post and keep adding them here so this is the one to check later. I figure it will be easier to see them here then in the big long weekly post.

Not like we need more candy in the house but the candy deal ends up being a good deal. Buy $10 worth get $5 in ECBs. And then if you have a $3 off $15 purchase coupon. Makes for some cheap candy. The Gold Emblem Candy for 88 cents is included in this deal.
The big deal this week is the Nivea Men products buy $10 worth get $5 in ECB's combined with a $3 off $15 or a $4 off $20 coupon and then there is a bricks coupon for $2 off any Nivea product. You can print two coupons from a computer. You can do this deal 5 times. I think with the bricks coupons this is a great deal. Esther do you have the link for this otherwise I will have to check at work if I have it there.
The Stomach Remedy deal is get $3 in ECB's for a purchase. There was Maalox coupons in the paper two weeks ago of $2 off. There is a Maalox that is $5.29 and another $5.99. So it would be like getting it for 29 cents or 99 cents with the $3 EBCs you get back. There are probably others that are low in price too. This deal can only be done once.
There are some great June Monthly deals too.
Oral-B Cross Action double toothbrushes. The book says you can do this twice but it can be done four times. $6.99 get $6.99 in ECBs
Kids mouthwash is $3.49 get $3.49 in ECBs. The book says this deal can be done twice but it can be done 4 times.
CVS Bandaids - $1.99 get $1.99 - book says you can do it twice but it can be done 3 times
The dove deal this month is good too. There are a bunch of different dove coupons out there. The monthly deal is on body wash and deodorant. Buy $10 worth of dove and get $3 back combined with some of the coupons out there makes it good. I know I signed up on dove.com and got a $2 off one but had some MF too.
Happy CVSing!!!!!!!!!!

Shopping list for this week
It seems like since it has gotten warm I have been doing a pretty poor job at getting the weekly list done.
I'm sure it is a combination of a lot of different factors. I really don't tend to buy much anymore unless it is almost free or it is something like produce that we need for a meal. That makes it hard to spot deals that others might be looking for. Also at times I wonder who really looks at this blog and does it really help any of you. I'm sure it probably does, but at the same time there is that little doubt that all the time put into it doesn't really matter. Don't get me wrong. I don't mind doing it, it just that if no one cares about it why do it right?
I think I either need to expand, so that there are more people coming to look and it will help more people save $, or just stop the weekly list and just post the great deals that I find of other random coupon stuff. Maybe it's just sunny and warm outside and I would rather be there then here today and there really isn't a problem at all. :)
Oh well, back to the list.
Becky is going to be doing the CVS list this week. She is CVS super woman and has been finding so much more then me. She'll be sending it in later tonight.

Aldi/Price match at Walmart
Nectarines or Peaches $.43 per lb
Vidalia onions $.33 per lb
Tomatoes 20oz 4pk $.99
This could be a great price on tomatoes because with the Salminila outbreak they have had to pull many kinds of them so the price on those left might be going up. It doesn't say a specific type of tomato so you should be able to use it on for 20oz of any type of tomato you want.

Great deal on Powerade
I know it's been slim pickings at Rainbow lately so I wanted to post this great deal that I found today.
Rainbow has 32oz Poweraid and Powerade Zero on sale for $1. Also if you buy 10 then you get a free 24 pk of Dassani water with in store coupon. There were coupons in yesterdays paper for $.75/1 24oz or 32oz Powerade or Powerade Zero.
If you have 10 coupons you could get 10 bottle + the 24pk of water for $2.50. Pretty good deal in my opinion.
I'm looking for sites that have the coupon and will post some links when I find them.
UPDATE
Well, it looks like this deal is dead for us, unless we want to pool our coupons. None of the clipping sites have them. They are selling for about 20/$10 on Ebay so that doesn't really make it worth while.

Free Archer Farms Deli cheese
There is a new Target coupon for $1 off Archer Farms Deli cheese. Usually these have a minimum size you have to purchase, but this time there isn't any. All you have to do is buy the cheese in $1 amounts and you will be able to get as much as you want for free. Kind of like the $2 off Archer Farms deli meat from about a 1 1/2 ago.
Does anyone know the price? I am guessing that it is something like $6.99 per lb. That means 1/6 of a lb would be $1.165. It would still work out to be $.99 per lb, unless you can get a deli worker who is supper nice and is able to give you just $1 worth.
Hopefully it will go on sale sometime in the next month!

Weekly list
Hi all! I'm working on this list, but will probably end up posting before it gets all done. I just wanted to start by getting some of the links for the IP coupons in while I had them instead of needing go to back and relocate them later.
One thing at CVS this week is free Chex mix. It's $1 with a $1/1 IP. There are 2 links for the coupon so you could print 4 coupons total per computer. Link 1. Link 2.
Found a third link. This one seems to be different then the first two so that would mean another 2 coupons for a total of 6.

Cheap cheddar cheese at Cub-No coupons needed
I was at Cub yesterday doing the Kraft cheese/Nabisco cracker deal and found a great deal. The 16oz packages of Kraft shredded cheddar cheese were ringing up $1.50. The sign said 3/$9.99, but I tried it two different times and they rang up $1.50.
There is a coupon in the Cub ad this week for $5 off your order WYB 5 Kraft cheese. The best deal would look like this;
5 16 oz Shredded Cheddar $7.50
-$5 off your order
Total $2.50 for 5lbs of cheese.
The expiration date was mid October so there is plenty of time to use all the cheese. It also freezes great so that would be an option too.
This deal can get better if you have the Kraft peelies and the nabisco coupons. The second deal I did was this;
1.22lb red grapes $3.04
5 16 oz Shredded Cheddar $7.50
2 8oz Kraft Mexican 4 cheese blend $1.50 each (on clearance)
2 5.5oz resealable bags of Nabisco mini Ritz crackers $1.64 each

I only used 2 Nabisco coupons because I would have had an overage and at the time I didn't know what else I needed to go with it so I just saved the other two coupons for later.

The expiration date was mid October so there is plenty of time to use all the cheese. It also freezes great so that would be an option too.
This deal can get better if you have the Kraft peelies and the nabisco coupons. The second deal I did was this;
1.22lb red grapes $3.04
5 16 oz Shredded Cheddar $7.50
2 8oz Kraft Mexican 4 cheese blend $1.50 each (on clearance)
2 5.5oz resealable bags of Nabisco mini Ritz crackers $1.64 each
2 8oz resealable bags of Nabisco Animal crackers $1.64 each
Total $20.10
Coupons used
Free 1lb grapes Cub coupon
$5 off your order WYB 5 Kraft cheese
2 Free cheese up to $4.99 WYB 2 Nabisco crackers
2 $1/1 Any 5oz or larger Nabisco cookies or crackers
Total after coupons $.63
I only used 2 Nabisco coupons because I would have had an overage and at the time I didn't know what else I needed to go with it so I just saved the other two coupons for later.

Recap of May spending
I suppose it is time to fess up how much I sent over budget. I will say in my defense that Noah and I were sick last week and when I am sick I just really want whatever tastes good to me at the time. Last week that was cherries and beef soup with red potatoes.
As close as I can tell last week we spent $16.17 on groceries. All but $5.17 was for cherries, cottage cheese, and red potatoes. The rest for for 4 boxes of Teddy grams, 2 gallons of milk and something else that I can't remember.
Add that to the $2.93 that I was already over buy and you get a total of $$19.1. Which means last month I spend $113.70. Not that great.
Oh well, time to do better this month. I'm going to stick with the $85 being I was under and then over so I still don't really know if this is the correct amount, but to this I will add the knowledge that at the end of the month there will be some excellent stock up opportunities so I might need more then $85.
Things like hotdogs, brats, hamburger, and anything condiment or picnic related should be on sale right before the 4th of July. Last year we got enough hotdogs, mustard, ketchup, and bbq sauce to last all year. Most of it was just pennies.

Free Kraft Cheese WYB 2 Nabisco crackers
There are currently peelie coupons on some Nabisco cracker boxes for free Kraft cheese (up to $4.99) WYB 2 Nabisco crackers (no size limits). These have been very hard to come by. No one really wants to trade them and until yesterday I hadn't ever found any.
I was at the Maple Grove Cub Foods store yesterday killing time while I had my stuff across the street a UOAC. I found a few of these peelies on the front end cap of crackers next to the cracker isle. I didn't see too many, but I also didn't look behind any boxes so there might have been quite a few. If any of you live over there it is defiantly worth going for a look.
If any of you have been lucky enough to get your hands of some of these peelie coupons then there is a great deal going on this week at cub for you.
This week 1lb bags and blocks of Kraft cheese are on sale for 3/$9.99. If you buy 5 or more you get $5 off you order.
There are two different ways this deal could work. I asked CS and she thought that the first way should be fine because of the wording on the coupon, but she also said it might depend on you cashier, so choose wisely.
Scenario #1
8 5.5oz bags mini Ritz cracker $1.69
6 packages of cheese 3/$9.99
Total $33.5
-8 $1/1 Nabisco= -$8
-4 Free Kraft= -$19.96
-$5
Total after coupons=$.54
This is the best way because it maximizes you peelie coupons. Being you bought a total of $19.98 in cheese each of the 4 coupons should be entered into the register for the full value of $4.99. You will need to explain this to your cashier because they will assume that they should just put in the price for one bag which is $3.33.
If you have problems with your cashier or are not brave enough to try you can do scenario #2
10 5.5oz bags of mini Ritz crackers $1.69
5 packages of cheese
Total $33.55
-10 $1/1 Nabisco
-5 Free Kraft peelies
-$5 off WYB 5 Kraft
Total after coupons $1.65
The first way has a little less OOP, and 1 extra 1lb of cheese.
If you really want to get in on this deal, but don't have the coupons they are selling on Ebay. Depending on what they are going for this could still be a good deal. Just make sure that the auction ends with enough time for the seller to ship them and get them here by Saturday.

This Weeks List
I don't think there will be a list this week. Noah caught what auntie Krista had and I'm not feeling too hot either. If things turn around I'll work on it later this week, but my coupons are a mess and haven't been filed for probably a month so I should really spend some time getting things back together.
