Publix up coming sale

Here is just a quick tip tonight seeing as how I had a pretty big post written up and for some reason it decided to get lost in internet land somewhere I have decided to re type that another night. :)

The up coming week at Publix is going to be AWESOME! If you have a Publix around you, I highly recommend you checking out theri sales. Just an example will be 4 lb. Purina dog food bags will be bogo at 8.99 but after coupons they will be 1.27 a bag! I am planning on stocking up! Something to look out for are the vitamin sales, they are normally money makers, this week it is not a vitamin but instead vivarin that ends up being I believe 1.21 money maker. Can you see where my thought is here? Get the vivarin to pay for the dog food total! Get the food and vivarin(I dont use but can give away) all FREE, or well almost anyway. There are a few other really great deals that I am working on so stay tuned!

Happy Saving

(Happy Alicia, I got my own lol)

Great deal at Winn Dixie

Hello all my fellow couponers! I am still not feeling up to par today, but I did stop by Winn Dixie today. I had to get rain checks on some items that they did not have. So when the products come in, I plan to do this deal- Buy two Protein 4 packs that were on sale this week BOGO-8.99. Then use two $5/1 on each deal, making each deal a moneymaker. Then I plan to apply that overage toward the other deal they were running, Buy 10 Vitamin Water for $1 each, get 5 free. So I will be paying $9 for two 4-packs of protein shakes and 15 water! Fabulous! Happy Shopping.

Preview the matchups!

Hello again all you awesome couponers! :) Just wanted to give a quick tip tonight. Each week when I look through the match up sites and the sale ads to put together a list before the new sale starts, I will go to that store and walk the aisles to find the products that are on my list to compare to make sure the sizes and all other specified rules match up with the coupon so that I do not get to the store and have a bad surprise waiting on me. I have had this happen before and it is not fun, there for I always take the walk! This is also a good time to grab some coupons from blinkie boxes, tear pads, and booklets in the store. :)

Have fun saving!

Plink

Hello my fellow couponers! I am not feeling very well today so this will be short and sweet. I had to visit the ER today because of chest pains. But while I was there, I remembered that I wanted to tell you all about plink.com. Plink is a good tool to just sit back, use your credit or debit card as usual, and collect rewards. This is what happens. You sign up. You register your credit/debit card, and then you shop! Or go eat dinner, or go to the movies, ect. It’s that simple. And whenever you slide your card at one of the places you signed up for, you get reward points which in turn you can use to get gift cards. It’s so easy! Reward yourself today and sign up! Happy Shopping!

Once again, I am cutting this blog pretty close. Today I had a pretty good reason. I was planning and shopping for most of the day. I grabbed my coupons put them in the organizer, took my 11 year old daughter to help out and get her away from the boys for a bit and put some ice in the cooler. Yes I took a cooler with me today. Nothing says you are ready to tear it up like taking a cooler with you to shop :)

I went to 4 different stores today and had a very positive response from all. Anyone who coupons seriously knows that any day you coupon and do not run into a rude cashier is a good trip! I think today was the best experience I have had to date with cashiers and managers.

Walgreens - Stopped here to see if they had French's infusers but they did not. While I was there I bought my 6 papers. Went through almost all on the rack until I found 6 that had all 3 inserts. I can not stress enough how important it is to check for all inserts before buying the paper!!!

Publix - This was by far my favorite stop of the day! I got a cashier who was a..... wait for it.... wait for it..... A COUPONER!!!!!!!!!! I was so excited when she smiled at me and told me she too was a couponer. This had not happend to me before. I wanted to do a cartwheel :) She was SUPER sweet! I will be looking for her next time I go in. Shout out to Michelle!!!! You ROCK!!!!!!! There was a very nice bagger who was just as nice as she was. She had to call the manager over to do an over ride and she was just as sweet as could be too. This was a great trip! When we were done and she gave me the total, ( I WAS PAID TO TAKE EVERYTHING OUT OF THE STORE TODAY!!!!) the manager, bagger, and cashier all shared in excitement! LOL I have never had a better time! I am going to make sure to tell someone up high about this team!!!! Even the meat guy who I had him special package 14 different packages of meat into 1/2 lb packages, I had expected him to not be very happy about it, I was SO wrong! He smiled said not a problem went and promptly packaged it all for me and then put them all in my cart neatly and asked if I needed anything else. I joked and so no thank you I will leave you alone now, he smiled again and said, "Nonsense, we are here to help the customers in what ever they need dear." OMG! I could not have had a better time shopping than today!

Winn Dixie 9/8

Hello there my fellow couponers! Well, I took a little trip to Winn Dixie today and scored some pretty good deals! The list includes 4 dozen eggs at .99 each. 7 boxes of Toaster Strudels for .99 each, 3 boxes of Lucky Charms cereal at 1.66 each, 15 Vitamin waters for $9, gummies for the kids, a protein shake deal that I got several things for free for buying plus I had a coupon and a few other things. I used a $5/$50 coupon, as well as $1/ bottled water, several coupons for the Toaster Strudels and cereal, protein shake coupon and a few others. I’m sorry I can’t remember everything. My receipt is in my sister in laws purse, ha-ha. My total before everything was 128.54, and after all said and done, I paid 48.57. Score!!! Happy Couponing!

I have been very busy taking out all expired coupons from my binder in hopes of making it just a bit lighter before trying to find homes for all of tomorrows 3 inserts full of new coupons. I got curious and weighed my binder after my 11 year old daughter picked it up and actually hurt her hand. I put it on my postal scal, which goes up to 12LBS and it reached 12 and then said a very big flashing E. This means tha my coupon binder weighs more than 12lbs! This is before tomorrows papers too. So I have decided that I need to try to use as many as I possibly can soon! Or I could just take the chance of actually breaking my back.

So in my deal searching I have found 1 thing so far to be on the look out for. Tomorrow in the Smart Source will be a 1/1 VO5 shampoo and starting tomorrow VO5 is on sale for 1.49 Use the coupon from tomorrows paper making each shampoo and conditioner just .49 each! Hopefully I find lots of other deals like this for tomorrow!

Happy shopping! Don't forgot to get your papers in 2's!
