I LOVE Couponing...

1 Colgate Toothpaste
1 St. Pat's stickers
3 Energizer batteries
5 Reese's Peanut-butter cups
4 Hershey's eggs (Easter baskets, not sweet tooth)
4 Reese's Mini cups
1 loaf of bread
8 Aussie Shampoo
3 Herbal Essence Shampoo
4 Aussie Gel
6 Herbal Essence Gel
3 Aussie Miracle Conditioner
6 Herbal Essence Hairspray

Total Price Paid: $6.89 (and I got $4.00 back in RR)

You're right I don't need 30 items of hair product. Some of it I will keep for my family, some of it will be for a couponing class I'm teaching, and some of it I'll be able to donate.

There are ways to give to those in need even when times are tough and we may be struggling ourselves...and that's one of the many reasons why I LOVE couponing.

My Trip to Scolari's

Here's what I got at Scolari's today.

Marshmallows - $0.50 (in clearance section)
1 Deli Fresh meat - $0.99 (in clearance section)

3 Beechnut baby meals - FREE

2 Energizer batteries - FREE

Pork Tri-tip - $8.03

Final price: $9.81

For those of you with picky Scolari's stores, I'm including a picture of my receipt. The register automatically adjusts the doubling of the coupon so that it will not go over the price of the item.

The Beechnut costs $1.59. The first coupon came off as $1.00. When the cashier pushed the key to double it, only $0.59 came off so that the final price was free but no overages. The coupon does not exceed the price of the item.

The coupon policy online states, "Offer excludes all liquor, tobacco, dairy regulated items, store coupons and coupons that exceed the value of the item." There is nothing mentioned in their policy that an item can't be free. (They are being reimbursed by the manufacturer, after all.)

Also, their online policy used to state a limit of ten coupons would be doubled each transaction but it no longer does. Their printed ad actually states, "Unlimited manufacturer's coupons up to and including $1.00."

Hopefully this will help clear up any confusion and we can all enjoy the beauty of doubling coupons at Scolari's, no matter which location we happen to shop at!

Smith's Update and My Shopping Trip

Here are a few things I noticed while I was there this morning.

(These prices reflect the discount taken when you mix and match any 8.)

Chips Ahoy - $1.79

$1.50 Nabisco cookie WYB milk (tearpad from Save Mart)

Final price: $0.29

Bumble Bee Tuna pouch - $0.49

$0.55 from 2/21 SS

Final price: $0.06 overage

Ronzoni Smart Taste pasta - $0.75

$0.75 printable coupon AND HERE

Final price: FREE

Ronzoni Healthy Harvest pasta - $0.75

$1.00/2 printable coupon AND HERE

Final price: $0.25 each WYB 2

Kellogg's cereal, 17 oz. (big box) - $1.99

$0.70/1 blinkies right there on the shelf

Final price: $1.29 (some had $5 in coupons inside)

The only Scotch mini rollers I could find were twin packs and were $2.50.

Here is what I got at Smith's today:

The breakdown-

Fruit Loops - $1.29 (big box and has $5 worth of coupons inside)

32 Powerade - $0.25 each

4 Del Monte tomatoes - $0.24 each

5 American Beauty Pasta - $0.49 each

1 Bumble Bee Tuna - $0.06 overage

1 Wesson Oil - $0.99

1 gal. milk - $2.19

1 Sunny D - $0.54

3 Sprite - $0.75 overage

1 Chips Ahoy- $0.29

1 Command hooks - $0.50

1 Scotch pads - $1.63

1 Scotch wand refill - $1.63

Final price: $22.65 (and I forgot to use a $1.50 coupon...)

Are you thinking I must have been rather thirsty while shopping today? Maybe I was, but I think the Powerade is a great price! I like to keep this stuff on hand for sports games, breaks from yardwork, and sick tummies.

Back in Jan. when Smith's had their case lot sale, the Powerade was $0.69 each. Wal-Mart sells their 32 oz. Powerade for $1.67 each. Costco's Kirkland brand sports drink is $0.42 each for a 20 oz. bottle.

How do I remember all of this? I'm looking at the Northern NV Price List that is linked over on the side bar. It helps me know when something is a good deal or not.

Get back $10.00 for Kohl's and $3.00 catalina from Scrubbing Bubbles.

*If I weren't in need of diapers I would probably check out the $10.00 back WYB $25.00 frozen food deals.

Safeway Deals (3/17-3/23)

I'm sending you back to Abundant Food Savings again this week for the Safeway matchups. (No need for me to post it if it's already out there!)


Be sure the check the ad because sometimes there are differences by region.


One of the biggest differences in our ad this week is we get $10.00 in Kohl's rewards for every $50.00 spent! (March 17-21)
Last time this promo. ran I spent $50.00 at Safeway, got my $10.00 to Kohl's, and got a FREE tie at Kohl's for my brother on a mission. (I can admit that here because he'll never read it.)


It does state that the $50.00 excludes Safeway club card savings and Safeway coupons. There is no mention of manufacturer coupons. When I did it last I made sure my total was $50.00 AFTER coupons just to be safe but I got a LOT of stuff. I'm too chicken to try it at $50.00 before coupons and then not have it work.

*UPDATED* Total must be $50.00 AFTER coupons. (Thanks, Discipline Bound!)


I'm working up my scenario right now and I'll post it once I've got it figured out. Let me know if you're planning on spending the $50.00 (or $100.00 or $150.00...) and what deals you're planning on using.
