I haven't looked much at Walgreens this week, but just found a great IP so wanted to post before I lost the address.
Nestle semi sweet morsels $1.99 with in ad coupons, - $1.50/1 IP=1/$.50 Some people have been able to print up to 4 per computer. If you have problems, log into the sight, then go back the the $1.50/1 link and try again. If you don't go back to the original link it sounds like you only get a $.50/1 instead of the $1.50/1.
I'll keep adding to Walgreens in this post as I find things so make sure to scroll down if there are other posts later in the week.
Kraft mac n cheese $.69 with in ad coupon. ($.66 regular price at Walmart last week, but if you have RR to spend this is a good deal.)
Rimmel Cosmetics BOGO, -Bogo Rimmel Colour Rush eye shadow from Aug issue of All You=2/Free

A start to this weeks list.
I'm hoping to get back in the swing of things. I have the list of Rainbow made up, but nothing else yet. There might be things that I missed. I haven't filed any coupons for over two months now. It's kind of hard to know what to look for when I'm not sure what coupons are out there.
Here is what I found so far. Don't forget that if you shop and Wednesday you will be able to double up to 5 coupons if you spend $25 or more BEFORE manufacture coupons.
Green Gaint Steamers $.88, -$1/1 IP and insert=1/$.12 overage
Green grapes $.99 per lb
10lb potatoes $2.49
1lb baby carrots $.88
Roundy's White bread $.68
Dove Large chocolate bar $1, -$1/1= Free
Dannon 320z yogurt $2, -$1/2 (blinki found at Rainbow 2 wks ago)=2/$3
3lb Gala organic apple $3.49
I'll add Ali also being it is so short. Remember that if Aldi, or any other store, is out of your way you can always take the flyer to Walmart and pricematch there. Usually they need to call someone to help, but it doesn't usually take long.
Green Peppers 3pk $.79
Mango $.49
Avacados $.59
Canned beans, black or garbanzo $.49 (can sub for store brand at WM)
I'll be working on the other stores throughout the week. That's the plan at least. Thanks for hanging in there while I get back in the game.

September Budget
I know I'm a little behind for the month, but I wanted to add up the receipts so far this month. I seem to be loosing track of what I am spending and where the money is going. I believe that I have all my receipts except two. I had to turn those in to be reimbursed for simple supper. I'll start with those, doing my best to remember what was on them and go from there.

How to blow your budget in three easy steps.
So I keep looking at the grocery money left for the month wondering where it all went. Well, I've come up with an answer for at least part of it. Walgreens. It all turned into RR good only at Walgreens. The whole ordeal goes something like this.
Step 1: Jason mentions on Sunday that he is out of allergy meds and would really appreciate some more.
Step 2: Look through ads and discover the best deal is at Walgreens which looks like this.
3 Tylenol Allergy Rapid Release $4.99
6 Carefree 22 count panty liners $1.22
Use
Walgreens in ad coupon for $.99 Carefree
3 $5/3 MF good on many products including both Carefree and Tylenol(These were in the Rainbow ad about three weeks ago. They were MF that expired on 9-10-08)
My OOP would $6 before tax and I would receive a $4 RR. I figured that $2 for 3 boxes of allergy meds was a pretty good deal.
Step 3: When I got to Walgreens I found out there was a $1.50 per box coupon in the monthly book which brought my OOP down to $1.41 after tax. To top it off instead of getting a $4 RR I got a $2 and $4 RR. Instead of paying $2 for everything I made $4.59.
Being I had a bunch of coupons left, and got Becca's extra coupons, so I planned on doing the deal as many times as possible the next day. I did it twice turning the day and then went in the evening and found an even better deal.
There was a sign under some of the liquid Tylenol cold med, buy 2 get $5. but 3 get $10. These also qualified for the $1.50 off Walgreens coupon so the OOP would still be $1.41, but instead of $6 in RR it would be $10.
I did two different orders like that, but the RR didn't print. The assistant manager wasn't sure what to do so she took my info and said she would talk with the manager first thing in the morning and call me. Well, they still owe me $20. She didn't call yesterday. I called today and was told she wasn't in and that they would leave a message, but the boy never took my name or # so not really sure that the "message" will actually get to her. I'm planning on stopping in with my receipts tomorrow.
My total OOP was $8.71 with $1.92 of that on a gift card. I did use some RR to lower my OOP, but couldn't use them on most transactions because it would not print out a new RR if I did. I know have $24 in RR with another $20 owed to be.
All told I ended up with 52 Carefree, 4 bottles of Children's Tylenol, 3 Tylenol Cold and Sinus 24ct, 8 bottles of Daytime/Nighttime Tylenol liquid cold meds, and 15 boxes of Tylenol Allergy meds.
I'm not really sure why it is only 52 Carefree because if I got 2 for every Tylenol it should be 60 Carefree.
Although this doesn't really explain where all my $ went so far this month at least I know where about $7 went. Plus, I have lots of RR to spend in the next two weeks on milk and other items.

One more link
Found this one to add. There are quite a few good coupons here too. The $1/1 works well with the Taco seasoning on sale at Rainbow this week for $.59 each. Also there are peelies for b2g1 free so it would be 3/$.18

Just some interesting IPs
Well, it's been a while, but I'm back. Just needed a little break. My coupons are a mess which makes it hard to spot a good deal. Here are some IPs that I found while looking around today to tide everyone over until I can get my coupons in order and make up a list. Happy Printing!
$1/1 Quaker instant Oatmeal
BOGO Sierra Mist
$1/1 Cheerios #1
$1/1 Cheerios #2
$2/1 Any Kashi (great for the Target gift card deal next week)
$1/1 Buitoni (there is a $1/1 Target IP out right now also. Cheapest pasta is supposed to be around $1.85)
$1/1 Totino's Pizza Rolls
$1/1 Ronzoni Bistro pasta (Supposed to be around $1 when on sale.)
$1/1 Any Johnson's Buddies #1 (use on buddy bar soap to make them free)
$1/1 Any Johnson's Buddies #2
$2/1 South Beach Living Pizza (There used to be a deal running at Cub which made these Free with the coupon and RR. I'll try to find out some more info and it and post later. Also reported to be $2 at Walmart so free after the coupon)
$1/1 Any Scott Towels or Tissue
Freesampling.net (There are a lot of great coupons here. It seems have the same offerings as coupons.com which means we might be able to get 2 coupons instead of just one. The Green Giant steamers are supposed to be around $1.30 at Walmart which would make them $.30 after coupon.)
Coupons.com (Not sure if you can print coupons from this and the freesampling.net site.)
Looks like that's it for now. I'll be working on my coupons more next week so hopefully I will be able to get a list made up then.

Free Yogurt at Cub
Cub has Dannon Light and Fit on sale for $1 this week. There are MF coupons for $1/1 4pk which makes them FREE!!
Noah eats yogurt everyday so this is great news for us. I haven't had to pay for yogurt for months now because last time I got a raincheck and there was never enough to fulfill the amount I wanted to they kept extending the raincheck another month. I would get what I needed for the month and then they would deduct that number from the total left on the raincheck and give me a new one good for another month. I didn't plan it like that, but it sure worked well.
If you are interested in ordering coupons here is a link to two sites that have them for sale. Each site if $.10 per coupon. I have ordered from both. Each is dependable, but I like the couponclippers better. Make sure you order no later then Tuesday night or EARLY Wednesday if you want them to get here by Saturday.
Rebecca's coupons and forms
The Coupon Clippers
Scroll down partway and it is the last Dannon coupon listed.

Taking a break
As you might have noticed I haven't been keeping up with the blog this week and last. There has been a lot of end of summer busyness going on. On top of that I haven't been feeling well which is making it hard to make the weekly list. I haven't even been looking at things for my personal list.
I have decided just to make it definite and say that I am taking a little vacation from the list. This way I don't struggle to get it out every week and then feel back when I don't get it done. We will be out of town towards the end of August so I think the easiest thing to do it just to start again with the weekly list at the beginning of September.
I'm planning on still updating the budget. I've found that having it all typed up helps me to keep on track and to know where I am spending. I tend to spend a lot less when I put it on the blog. Hopefully I can get last weeks purchases up tonight and go from there.
Thanks all for understanding. Hope you have a great end to your summer. See you when school starts.

Free SoBe Life Water at Target again
Just wanted to make to quick post about the Free SoBe Life Water at Target this week. They are on sale for $1. For every ten bottles that you buy you get a $5 gift card. There are $.50/1 MF out there so if you buy in sets of 10 with ten coupons they will be free after the giftcard.
I've found these coupons at both Holiday gas stations and at Kwik Trip gas stations. They are right on the door of the drink fridges.

Lots of toys 75% off at Target
I was at Target tonight and they had a lot of toys on clearance. Almost all of them were marked 75% off. I got some Thomas things for Noah for Christmas and a couple of other presents.
For $16.98 after tax I got;
2 CARS giant floor coloring pads
2 Neville Thomas the Tank Engine dye cast train
1 Cranky the Crank + track and train get
2 Schleich lambs
1 Schleich Moose
Not as good as usual, but being there were no coupons not bad. Regular price would have been $67.92

Last day of the Month--what did I get?
I had some coupons that were expiring today so Noah and I went out to see what we could find. I headed to CVS with a page full of clearance and hidden deals plus the regular sale items for the week. Well, we ended up leaving with 2 rainchecks and nothing else. :(
I did run into Becky Weber and her neighbor, Stephanie as I was leaving. I was saying that I was heading to Target to use up my $5/3 Target coupon that expired today so Stephanie gave me two more. All total I now had three $5/3 and one $5/5 to work with.
This is what I ended up getting. I think I did pretty good for not having a plan when I talked through the door.
5 Johnson's Buddies $.94 -2 $2/2
1 9oz Johnson's baby soap $2.09
2 20oz Johnson's baby soap $2.79
1 14ct Johnson's pre-soaped washcloths $2.99
1 Neosporin $3.89 -$1/1
1 20ct Diego Bandaids $1.97 -$1/1 (Noah almost had a fit 4 times once we got home because he wanted one so bad.)
5 Stayfree $1.02 ( Just realized I only needed 14 products so I only needed to get 3 of these)
I think that my OOP after all the Target coupons was $.32. My reciept only shows tax for the amount of other products I purchased. I found some toys maked 75% off so I got a couple of Christmas presents. These aren't included in the grocery budget so they won't be added to the total.
I also went to Cub last night. Here is what I got on my last trip of the month.
20 Farmland sausage $1.50 -20 $1/1
5 HomeLife paper towels $.99, -5 $1/1
5 Bushel Boy life lettuce $1.79, -5 $2/1
1 YoBaby 6pk $3.64, -Free coupon
2 Marie Calendar 16oz pot pies $2.75
10 Chef Boyardee ravioli $1, -2 $.35/3
5 McCormick Mexican seasoning packets $.80 -2 $.25/2, -5/$3 Cub coupon
3 Peter Pan $1.66, -$1/1
-$2 OYNO coupon
Total OOP $26.50, received $10 OYNO coupon
Total Spent $26.82
Total spending for the month $85.81
Total left for the month $2.84 + $10 OYNO
So...all in all I am under budget again this month. I did have quite a lot of extra money to spend this month that's to the Planters Nuts overage. It made it easier to stock up on things like the sausage and ravioli.

All You Magazine
I don't think I have talked about it before but there is a magazine only sold at Walmart called "All You." It has a ton of coupons in it and is fairly cheap, $1.77. I usually only flip through it if I happen to be at Walmart, but today I bought three mags. They are the Aug 29, light purple issue.
Towards the back of the mag is a page with 5 "free when you buy" Kraft coupons. They are;
Free Wheat Thins up to $4.50
Free 16oz Kraft Dressing up to $3.20
Free Oscar Mayer Hot Dogs $4.51
Free Crystal light up to $4.50
Free Kraft Singles 12oz up to $4.00
There are the same as the tearpad coupons where you need to buy 3 products from the participating brands(excludes single serve). The brands are Kraft, Nabisco, and Oscar Mayer. Koolaid is made by Kraft. The best way to use these coupons is to buy 3 koolaid packets, being they are not single serve.
There is also a $1/1 Peter Pan coupon that can be used together with the buy $20 get $10 OYNO at Cub this week. By putting the two offers together you can get free peanut butter, plus a small overage for each coupon used.
Another coupon to use this week is the $1/2 Kid Cuisine. They are also part of the but $20 get $10 OYNO. After the coupon and the $10 print out the average out to $.61 each. This coupon and the Peter Pan are on a postcard sided insert in the middle of the magazine.
There are many other coupons you might be interested in. I just wanted to highlight the Free WYB and the ones to use at Cub this week.

total OOP $1, get $8 OYNO, Rainbow ad also says something about a powerade coupon for free powerade zero WYB 3 powerade. If they are MF you could get the coupons from rainbow and use them to sweeten the Cub deal.
Rainbow
Powerade $.69, -$1/1 or $.75/1 MF coupons=Free with overage
3lb yellow onions $.99
24oz Roundys bread $.79
CVS
Glade spray $.88, $1/1 MF=Free + overage
Loreal BOGO on sale, -BOGO MF=2/Free

CVS children's motrin or tylenol $4, -$5 ECB WYB $15=4/$11 after ECB or $2.75 each
Keep an eye out for the free monthly offers in the monthly book. I think I listed them last week.
Target
I didn't see anything super great at Target this week, but I did want to highlight some of the new Target coupons. It's been a while since we had some good ones so I know people have stopped thinking about it. I have.
$.50/1 Archer Farms artisan bread, Use on $.99 demi load for $.49 bread
$.50/1 Pringles, can usually be found on sale for $1, I think there is a MF for $.35/3
$1/1 Skippy Peanut butter, has been on sale for $1.69=1/$.69
$1/1 Smuckers fruit spead, I think the cheapest people have found is just under $2
$1/1 Stutton & Dudge steak/roast, check for meat with the $/$$ coupons on it and combine both
$1/1 CheeseIts, small box for around $2.05=1/$1.xx
$1/1 Hot or lean pockets, check for clearance and MF
$1/1 Ocean Spray cranenergy drink, $1/1 MF, haven't pricechecked, around $3 at walmart
$1/2 Or-Ida products, Look for hang tags on Heinze vintager, inside are $1/1 Or-Ida hashbrowns
$.50/1 Simple Harvest granola bars, pair with $1/1 MF
I think that's it for this week. I might be able to add more after I head to Walgreens and Cub tomorrow. I'll be able to get those ads and see what I am missing.
