Smith's: Strawberries and Cream - $0.45 each!
I was reading blogs from ladies in Utah that the strawberry containers had $1.00 Cool Whip peelies at Smith's. I thought surely that had to be a Utah-only thing but low and behold...there were peelies on all of the strawberry containers at my Smith's (Baring and Sparks) too.
This makes for a smokin' hot deal on strawberries and Cool Whip.
Buy 5 Strawberries, 1 lb - $1.50 each
Buy 5 Cool Whip, 8 oz. - $1.00 each
Use (5) $1.00/1 strawberries wyb Cool Whip peelies
Final price: $7.50 OOP and receive $3.00 Catalina back (for buying 5 Cool Whip)
It's like paying $4.50 for all 10 items or $0.45 each!

Couponing 101
I was able to participate in a couponing class last night and it was so fun! For any of you new to couponing or looking for a place to start, Money Saving Mom is doing a series entitled "31 Days to a Better Grocery Budget." It is FABULOUS and full of great tips.
My top three tips for just starting out would be:
1. Set up a coupon email address. For example, mine is nat.save@hotmail.com. I use this email address when a website asks for my information before I print a coupon or when requesting free samples . This helps me avoid having my personal email inbox full of coupon-related information.
2. Start SLOWLY. Trying to get every deal at every store is exhausting and you will get burnt out. Be selective in the deals you decide to go after. Make sure it is something you can use or donate. Remember, deals always roll around again. Prayerfully evaluate your family's situation and decide what you (and your family) can handle.
When I first started couponing, I started with the drugstores and I only did one store. Once I got my feet wet and felt a little more confident, I started learning the ropes at the second drugstore. After about a year I had an ample supply of free toiletries and nonfood items and branched out to grocery stores. I did not start couponing the way I do now from the very beginning. I eased into it and every once in awhile I ease up a bit and take little breaks.
3. Use a feed reader to see many blogs/websites at a time. This will limit the amount of time you have to spend on the computer. You will not have to check multiple blogs multiple times a day to see if there are new posts! Select a handful of money-saving blogs (see my favorites on the sidebar) and add them to your google reader (or other feed reader). Don’t have a google reader account?
· Go to www.google.com/reader.
· Click on “Create an Account.” You will need an email address (see above!) and then create a password. Finish filling out the short form and accept the terms.
· Once your account is created, you can add a subscription by clicking on the “Add a Subscription” button at the top left. Copy and paste in the address of the website you would like to add to your Google Reader. You will be able to see all of these sites now at one location.
· Instead of scrolling through each post there are “next” and “previous” buttons to quickly scan any new posts. If you see a post you are interested in (and want to read it later) you can click “add star” and it will be waiting for you when you click “starred items.” You can even “search” your google reader by typing in key words in the search box at the top.

Toilet Paper Deal! 24-pack for $2.99, TODAY only.
There are certain things in life I couldn't go without...toilet paper is one of those things. That being said, it's something I certainly want in my year supply.I was able to order cases of 24 rolls for $2.99 each...5 cases of 24-rolls for $14.95 (+ tax) with free shipping. That's right, I don't even have to go to the store! Woo-hoo!!
This deal is good TODAY ONLY (5/22)! Go HERE for the details.
I love stocking up on toilet paper. It doesn't expire and eventually I know we'll use it. I HATE spending lots of money on toilet paper. It's literally like flushing money down the toilet. Silly to be excited about, but yeah for inexpensive toilet paper!

Raley's Movie Ticket Deal
**UPDATE** The Simply GoGurts are included and there is a $1.10 printable coupon!
I used two printables and 4 coupons from the booklet to get 6 GoGurts for $5.74 and got a movie ticket back!

-----------------------------------------------------------------
I wasn't really interested in the Raley's movie ticket promotion this week since I went a little crazy with the cereal last week.
UNTIL...
I found this little gem on my way in the door on a Shrek display. (I found this at the Raley's in Wingfield but be sure to look for them at your store, too!)
The coupons found inside are:
(3) $1.00/2 GM Cereals
(1) $1.00/2 Green Giant Frozen Bagged Vegetables
(1) $1.00/1 Go-Gurt Yogurt
(1) $1.00/2 Fruit Roll-Up Minis
(1) $1.00/2 Betty Crocker Supreme Brownie Mix
(1) $1.00/1 Bisquick, 40 oz. or larger
(1) $1.00/2 Pillsbury refrigerated baked good products
(1) $1.00/2 Pillsbury Sweet Rolls or Grands Sweet Rolls
They all say "do not double" and expire 6/13/10.
I think the deal scenario I'm going to do is buy 6 Go-Gurt yogurts at $1.99 each.
(6) Go-Gurts - $11.94
(6) $1.00 coupons from Shrek booklet
or $1.10 printable coupon
Final price: $5.94 for six items and a movie ticket!
For more the rest of Raley's deals for the week and information on this promotion, go HERE. (Thanks, My Frugal Adventures!)
