Sometimes it is worth the few dollars
When we lived in Minnesota, Kathryn was lucky enough to receive several batches of hand-me-downs from her big cousin Sarah (she’s barely a big cousin, as they’re only a year apart in age). But, it seemed that as quick as she grew into some clothes, she grew right back out of them. Thus, buying clothes brand new all the time would have gotten pretty expensive. (more…)

My Grocery Deal of the Week
I’ve searched high and I’ve searched low this week, and there are no deals going on that really get me excited. I was able to get a few things that were worth the sale price, but nothing that I could really only get for pennies to the dollar, so to speak.
Dr. Pepper recently released a coupon for a free 2-liter bottle of Dr. Pepper Ten. (Found in the 10/9 SmartSource Sunday Paper insert) (more…)
My Grocery Deal of the Week
I must give kudos again to a friend for submitting my deal for this week. I’m not out in the grocery stores every day, so there are times where I don’t catch these deals. I give endless thanks to those who submit ideas to me for this feature!
Kroger and select WalMart stores currently have the Febreeze Warmers on sale for $2.79 apiece. A coupon ran in the October 2 SmartSource coupon booklet for $2 off Febreeze Warmers. Over the $3.09 original price, this is almost a 75% savings!
My Grocery Deal of the Week
I have to give Kudos to my friend, Shelly, for alerting me to this deal.
USADrug is currently advertising two boxes of Gentle Glide tampons for $4.79. Currently, there is a coupon in Coupons.com for $4 off 2 boxes of Gentle Glide Tampons (Sport).
I printed six coupons (My husband and I both have Iphones and printed from the app directly from our phones, and then I was able to print two directly from the website).
My Grocery Deal of the Week
Before each shopping trip, I compare prices between Kroger and other big-name department stores. Last night, I noticed that Dial hand soap was $.88. That alone was a pretty big deal!
This morning, when I woke up, I found a coupon on coupons.com (enter zip 30013) for $.35 off any Dial Hand Soap. Kroger will double this coupon, making each bottle of hand soap $.18. I printed six coupons (the website only allows me to print two, but then my husband and I both have the Iphone app, also, and so, we each printed two more).
I discovered a couple more deals that you all might be interested in, as well, from Baskin Robins and one of my personal favorites, Cold Stone.
Happy Shopping, and snacking!
My Grocery Deal of the Week!
I had to run out and put some gas in my mommy-mobile so I could get to work tonight and decided to grab a few coupons on my way out the door and see what kind of damage I could do. By the way, isn’t it awful that you have to purchase $60 in gasoline only to go to work to make $60 after taxes?
Anyway, I only bought two items, but the savings were astronomical!
I had a $.35 off coupon (clipped from 8/7 RedPlum mailer) for Dial. Kroger doubles coupons, making it worth $.70 off. Dial soap is on sale for $.88. End price for the soap was $.18.
I then purchased Suave deodorant for $1.06. I had a $.50 off coupon (clipped from my 8/14 SmartSource newspaper insert) . Again, since Kroger doubles my coupon, it was $1 off. Thus, my deodorant only cost me $.6.
In the end, after tax, I handed my checkout lady $.33.
My Grocery Deal(s) of the Week
It dawns on me that I haven’t done this in a while, so last night, I sat and clipped four weeks’ worth of coupons and printed a few off of the internet. When all was said and done, it hit two of my local stores: Kroger and WalMart Neighborhood Market.
With my coupons, I purchased:
1 package of Reach Floss ($.95, I had a $.50 off coupon *clipped from 7/31S*. Kroger doubles coupons = Free floss)
9 boxes of Hamburger Helper ($1 each at Kroger on sale. I had 3 save $.75 on 3 coupons *clipped from 7/17S*, bringing each box down to $.75 each)
4 Totino’s frozen pizzas ($1.25 each, I had a coupon from coupons.com for $1 off four pizzas = $1/pizza)
4 bottles of Sobe LifeWater (10/$10 sale. I had a Kroger coupon for $1.50 off 4 = $.62 each)
3 cans of Skintimate Shaving Cream ($2.13 each, I had 3 coupons for $.55 off *clipped from 7/24S*. Kroger doubles coupons = $1.10 off each can = $1.03/can)
3 4-packs of Hunts Snack Pack Pudding Snacks ($1 each, I had a coupon for $.45 off 3 *clipped from 8/7S*. Kroger doubles coupons under $.65 = $.90 off 3 = $.70 each)
3 tubes of Colgate Cavity Protection Toothpaste ($.88 each, I had 3 coupons for $.50 off any Colgate toothpaste *clipped from 7/24S*. Kroger doubles my coupons, so it became $1 off each = FREE!)
and
3 packages of Kotex U Liners (18 count) ($1.24 each at WalMart. I had 3 coupons for $1 off each *clipped from 7/24S*. WalMart only gives face value for coupons, thus, each package was $.24)
__________
Total between two receipts = $21.58 (57% savings)
*The S means Smart Source coupon booklet I get from the Sunday paper

Deal of the Day!!
Many thanks to a friend of mine for showing me this site! I’m an Iphone user, and an Iphone accessory abuser. I couldn’t pass this one up, and couldn’t resist sharing it. However, it’s only good until Midnight Sunday (EDT), so really, if you see this blog Sunday afternoon, it’s moot.
