Old Navy has a coupon give away going on each week on their site. I just found out about it this afternoon, so I don't have a lot of details yet, but wanted to give everyone a heads up.
It seems like they are offering some great coupons online through their weekly ad site. They are hidden in the site and you need to scroll over them then click to see what the coupon is for.
The offers range from
$75/$100 purchase -yes that is posted correctly
$50/$100
20% off
15% off
10% off
5% off
Once you find a coupon you will be able to print it from your computer and use it in store. There is a very limited # of $75/$100. I think it might be 1000.
I'm not sure if you find and print one coupon if you will be allowed to keep looking for a better coupon. Someone had said it was a limit of one coupon, but it wasn't clear if it was one of each type or one total per computer.
The new coupons reset this evening sometime, 3-12-09. I guess last week they reset around 7:00pm eastern time.
This is the link right here. When I clicked on it to get the link it said they are updating so it might be sooner then I though. Happy hunting. Hope you find a great coupon!!

Kraft Cheese deal at Cub this week
Just wanted to let you know about a good deal at Cub this week with the buy $25 get $10. Credit goes to Vicki Oldfather for letting me know the details. Thanks Vicki!
This is what you need to buy;
4 - Kraft 2% cheese - $10
3 - Crystal light 12 qt - $9
3 - Nabisco 100 Calorie Packs - $7.50
$26.50 total
Less - .75 x 4 - Kraft cheese
Less 2.00 x 3 - Crystal Light/100 calorie pack
$17.50
Get back $10 OYNO, $2 OYNO, $3 OYNO
Net - $2.50!!!!
The $.75/1 are blinkies for Kraft 2% cheese. They were in store the past two months, but are gone now. I'm sure many of you picked some up.
I haven't ever seen the $2/crystal light and 100 calorie pack, but I've heard that it is a new tearpad found at Cub this week.
Hope some of you have the cheese coupons and can find the tearpads. It makes for a great deal. I'm sad to say that I had a ton of cheese coupons, but used them all up on Sunday so I'll be missing out on this deal.

Huggies IPs have reset
Basically the title says it all. The Huggies $3/1 and $5/1 have reset. If you printed them last week you should be able to print them again. Also try printing at coupons.com and also at couponbug.com. I was able to print a second set there even though I was maxed out at coupons.com.
There is a change in the wording on the new set of coupons. Instead of Gentle Care or Natural Fit "product" it now says "diaper." This means that the coupons are ONLY valid on the diapers now. I know that it's been nice to get the wipes with the $5 coupons, but make sure you watch which set of coupons you are using if you plan on getting more wipes. I know I will have to try and keep them separate so that I don't use the ones valid on the wipe on diapers when I finally find some at WG. I want to save those and get more wipes with them at Target.
Also, just an FYI; I did try the small tub of wipes last night at Target. They were $2.39? or something like that. I was wondering if we would be allowed overage on them. The coupon did beep, but it was K1'd so everything went fine. Personally, I'm going to need lots of wipes so I don't plan on wasting the $5 IPs on little tubs, but it is nice to know if you are looking for some overage that it will probably work. Just make sure to get the wipe bags or tubs labled "Gentle Care" so that they match the coupon.

Baby items
I'm stocking up on things like diapers and wipes for baby. I know when I started the blog I was including most of the H&B items into the $85 grocery budget, but for now I've decided to keep these separate. I haven't been doing CVS or WG for months and that is were most of the free H&B items come from.
I do want to track how much I end up spending on baby though, and I also thought it might give some of you good ideas on cheap baby items in case I forget to highlight what I find in another post.
This is what I ended up with last week. Most/all the items from WG were purchased in order to create an overage in RR for the diaper deal this week. I wanted to build up some free money to use for the diapers this week.

Starting out at WG I had two gift cards. I actually thought one was empty and almost threw it away, but it ended up with around $13 on it. Glad the lady checked for me!! So far all the OOP I've spent has been on these two gift cards.

Here is where things get strange because for some reason I my gift card was deducted for two transactions although I only bought one lotion. Although my OOP was only $1.37 I lost another $1.37 along the way so it's like I paid 2.74 and received $2 RR. I just realized this and although it's a small difference, I kind of feel cheated because I worked hard to build up my overage.

In the end I still have $5.39 on one gift card and $14.21 on the other for a total of $19.60. I also have an one $8, 2 $3.50, and 7? $2 RR. It's either 7-8 I just can't remember right now. I know I have just over/under $50 between the gift cards and the RR.
So my total spent on gift cards was $13.52, plus the mysterious $1.37 deduction for a total of $14.89. If I have $29 in RR what means I am up $14.11 overall.
I admit it did take a lot of time and energy, but I only stopped at WG what were on the way to there places I was going so it didn't use extra gas and the shopping part of the process didn't really take all that long.

Budget update
I figured that I should get this down before the week starts and I run out of energy and end up throwing out all the reciepts from this weekend because they are clogging up my purse.
I didn't make it out much last week so not really a whole lot to track.

Mott's IP to match up with the Target IP
Just wanted post that I found a IP for Mott's products. Right now Target have a printable coupon for $1/1 any 4 or 6pk applesauce. The IP should be for $.55/1. Price checking the applesauce was $1.67 at Shakopee and $1.87 in Chaska. Using both coupons it would range from $.12 to $.32 per 6pk.

Walgreens
Alright, I think I have Walgreens figured out for this week. Who knew making money with coupons could get so complicated!
I'm just going to post my proposed rounds. I haven't been out yet so the prices are what I'm finding on the internet. Also I'm hoping to snag a few more copies of coupons so I'm not sure if I will be able to complete all the rounds. This is just going to be a best case scenario.
Some of you might have more copies of coupons then me and so less, but at lest this will give you an idea of what is possible and you can customize it to the coupons you have and the items you want to buy, or are able to find in store.
Round #1
4 Sambucal $11.99, -$4IP, -$10.00 ESQ (in WG book)=4/$8.04 overage
8 Dove soap $.99 with in ad coupon=8/$7.92
Peeps $.39 with in ad coupon (need as filler)
Total $.27 + $3.66 sales tax=$3.93 OOP if sales tax is calculated on the pre-coupon total.
Receive $10 RR
Round #2
Vaseline lotion 10oz $2.69, -$1.50/1 MF=1/1.19
Blink eye drops $7.99, -$2/1MF=1/5.99
Colgate FreshMax $3.29, -$.75/1MF=1/$2.54
Peeps $.39 with in ad coupon (need filler)
total $10.11 + $.91 sales tax
-$10RR from Dove soap =$1.02 OOP
Receive $8 RR from Blink, $3.50 RR from Colgate, $2 RR from Vaseline
Round #3
8 Dove travel/trial Deodorant $.99, -$1.50/2=8/$1.92
Peeps $.39 with in ad coupon (need filler)
Total $2.31 + $.54=$2.85
Use $2 RR from Vaseline=$.85 OOP
Receive $10 RR, Still have $8 Blink, $3.50 Colgate
Round #4
Vaseline lotion 10oz $2.69, -$1.50/1 MF=1/1.19
Blink eye drops $7.99, -$2/1MF=1/5.99
Colgate FreshMax $3.29, -$.75/1MF=1/$2.54
Peeps $.39 with in ad coupon (need filler)
total $10.11 + $.91 sales tax
-$10RR from Dove soap =$1.02 OOP
Receive $8 RR from Blink, $3.50 RR from Colgate, $2 RR from Vaseline. Still have $8 Blink, $3.50 Colgate from round #2
Round #5
8 Dove soap $.99 with in ad coupon=8/$7.92
Peeps $.39 with in ad coupon (need as filler)
Total before tax $8.31, + $.54=$8.85

Vaseline lotion 10oz $2.69, -$1.50/1 MF=1/1.19
Blink eye drops $7.99, -$2/1MF=1/5.99
Colgate FreshMax $3.29, -$.75/1MF=1/$2.54
Peeps $.39 with in ad coupon (need filler)
total $10.11 + $.91 sales tax
-$10RR from Dove soap =$1.02 OOP
Receive $8 RR from Blink, $3.50 RR from Colgate, $2 RR from Vaseline
Round #7
8 Dove soap $.99 with in ad coupon=8/$7.92
Peeps $.39 with in ad coupon (need as filler)
Total before tax $8.31, + $.54=$8.85
-$8 RR from Blink= $.85OOP
Receive $10RR
Round #8
Vaseline lotion 10oz $2.69, -$1.50/1 MF=1/1.19
Blink eye drops $7.99, -$2/1MF=1/5.99
Colgate FreshMax $3.29, -$.75/1MF=1/$2.54

total $10.11 + $.91 sales tax
-$10RR from Dove soap =$1.02 OOP
Receive $8 RR from Blink, $3.50 RR from Colgate, $2 RR from Vaseline
For those loosing track I should now have
2 $8.00 RR for Blink
4 $3.50 RR for Colgate
3 $2.00 RR for Vaseline
My total OOP this far should be $10.56 or less depending on tax. This means so far a profit of $25.44
At this point I am out of MF coupons. My plan is to roll the rest of the RR back into Dove as follows to maximize my profit.
Round #9,#10
8 Dove soap $.99 with in ad coupon=8/$7.92
Peeps $.39 with in ad coupon (need as filler)
Total before tax $8.31, + $.54=$8.85
-$8 RR from Blink=$.85OOP
Receive $10RR each time
Total OOP for 10 rounds $12.26, Total RR after 10 rounds 2 $10 RR from Dove, 4 $3.50 RR from Colgate, and 3 $2.00 RR from Vaseline. Total Profit $27.74. $10 of my OOP total is sales tax. I'm not sure if I will be paying sales tax or not so my OOP could be as low as $2.26.
My plan is to take the RR from this week and roll them into next week. I might be able to come up with a few more copies of coupons, but for now this is what I can depend on. I'm not really sure if I will be able to come up with enough product in store to make this work, but we will see. We all know there are lots of WG around the area so hopefully I'll be able to do it.
I'm just going to post my proposed rounds. I haven't been out yet so the prices are what I'm finding on the internet. Also I'm hoping to snag a few more copies of coupons so I'm not sure if I will be able to complete all the rounds. This is just going to be a best case scenario.

For those loosing track I should now have
2 $8.00 RR for Blink
4 $3.50 RR for Colgate
3 $2.00 RR for Vaseline
My total OOP this far should be $10.56 or less depending on tax. This means so far a profit of $25.44
At this point I am out of MF coupons. My plan is to roll the rest of the RR back into Dove as follows to maximize my profit.
Round #9,#10
8 Dove soap $.99 with in ad coupon=8/$7.92
Peeps $.39 with in ad coupon (need as filler)
Total before tax $8.31, + $.54=$8.85
-$8 RR from Blink=$.85OOP
Receive $10RR each time
Total OOP for 10 rounds $12.26, Total RR after 10 rounds 2 $10 RR from Dove, 4 $3.50 RR from Colgate, and 3 $2.00 RR from Vaseline. Total Profit $27.74. $10 of my OOP total is sales tax. I'm not sure if I will be paying sales tax or not so my OOP could be as low as $2.26.
My plan is to take the RR from this week and roll them into next week. I might be able to come up with a few more copies of coupons, but for now this is what I can depend on. I'm not really sure if I will be able to come up with enough product in store to make this work, but we will see. We all know there are lots of WG around the area so hopefully I'll be able to do it.

Random Walgreens shopping list
I'm trying to get a handle of what is going on at Walgreens. I really want to do the B $25 Get $10 Huggies deal next week, but I don't want to spend a lot OOP just to end up with $100 in RR in the end.
My goal is to find things this week that would give me an overage in RR to use on next week. There are a couple of things here and there that I am finding, but my head is so stuffy that I'm having a hard time keeping it straight. I thought maybe if I put it all up here that I would be able to sort it out, but also others would be able to use some of the deals that I find.

Keep the $3.50 and $2 RR for diapers next week, or anything else you might need. After both rounds you would end spending $8.14 OOP before taxes and have $5.50 in RR.
After the first round you would be able to roll them back and forth with almost no OOP before tax and grow your $3.50 and $2 RRs for other purchases.

It looks like the trial size dove deodorant might work for the B8G$10RR deal. This deal is going on all month long so if it works then you can take your $10RR from the Huggies deal and roll it into the Dove deal next week and go back and forth. Still waiting for a few more people to try this, but I'll update when I know more about it. If it works this would be great. It would really help in keeping the OOP down for the diaper deal.
I'm sure there is more going on the next two weeks, but it is getting late so I'll have to try and find them tomorrow.

Cheap or free London Broil at Super Target
On the bottom of the Sunday Trib there is an ad for Super Target. One of the items listed if London Broil for $1.99 per lb. It sounds like most packages are aright around 1 lb.
There is a new Target coupon (TC) for $2 per package of Sutton & Dodge steak or roast. Pairing the coupon with the sale means lots of free or cheap meat.
Jason checked the Chaska ST this evening. They were completley out and had taken down the sign. We are headed to Savage tonight and will report back on the amount of stock. Make sure to get a raincheck if your store if is out.
As a side note, Target had a deal like this a few years ago on chuck steak. We got a bunch and froze it. They tend to do alright if you want to freeze them in the store packaging, but found that you could generally fit two pieces side by side in a one gallon zip bag and it would take up a lot less space in the freezer. Just a tip for those of you planning on getting LOTS.

GREAT Huggies IP coupons
This weekend I came across some great Huggies IP. The first is for $5/1 Huggies Gentle Care and the second is $3/1 Huggies Natural fit diapers. Each can be printed twice per computer.
There seem to be a lot of different links out there for these coupons, but so far I have only been able to print 2 total of each coupon no matter how many links I find.
The $5 coupon if good for any Gentle Care item. The diapers in this style only go up to size 2, but they also make wipes, rash cream, and changing pads
For the $3 coupon the diaper sizes are 3 and up.
Here are the links for you all. If anyone doesn't want them, I'll gladly take them off your hands, hint hint ;)

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.

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.
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.

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.
