Great New Coupons: Print Them now!
I have seen a ton of really good new coupons popping up tonight. Here are a few of them:
$1.25/1 Cinnamon Burst Cheerios
$1/1 Special K Oats and Honey
$1/1 Mission Tortillas (These are $0.99 w/in-ad coupon at Tom Thumb this week=FREE!)
$5/1 Zantac (these are $5.50 at Kroger as part of the Mega Sale, so $0.50!)
$2/1 Welch's Juice (I've not been able to get this page to load yet..high traffic.)
Also, just a reminder that it is a new month, so coupons.com will have a whole new set of coupons for you to pick from. There are tons of great ones available, so check them out before they reach their print limit!
Aldi Deals 2/2-2/8: Dallas Area
-Celery--$0.69 each (when this is cheap I stock up, chop up, and freeze for cooking)
-Avocados--$0.45 each (I find these to be pretty large sized, also)
-Baby Carrots--$0.49 each for a 1 lb. package
-Grape Tomatoes--$0.99/ pack (1 pint).--(I used these in a great homemade freezer salsa recipe--leave a comment if you are interested and I will post it).
Other Deals:

For more Aldi prices, head over to The Aldi Spot. These prices are for Florida, but many things are priced the same in the Dallas area, and perhaps your area as well.
I do hope this weather doesn't drive up our low milk and egg prices we've been having around here. I'll have to venture out before the week is over to get more. ;)

Kroger Trip 1/31
I *finally* made it to Kroger. However, I will be making another trip to Kroger before this sale ends next week. Why? They were out of quite a few items I wanted to get. I'm not surprised one bit, though. It was C.R.A.Z.Y. in there tonight. I suppose everyone had the same idea as I did, to get their shopping done before the rain tonight and then the freezing temperatures hit in the early morning hours. In fact, I barely beat the rain home. I was able to get the bulk of my shopping done, however.
Here is what I ended up with (my very OCD husband gets the photo credit--click to enlarge):
Initial Sale Price: $102.34
Sale Price After $25 Instant Savings For Buying 5 Sets of Mega Items: $77.34
Price After Coupons: $32.67
Price Paid After $25 Pharmacy Credit: $7.67 94% Savings
I will be going back after the weather clears looking for my Bar S hotdogs, and Krusteaz Pancake mix. I do not believe my store even carries the Honest Tea. I didn't even see a place where it had once been.
The cat treat that I bought were a surprise freebie. I knew they were included in the sale, but did not realize that they were $0.50 with the sale price. Sunday's paper (I do not recall which insert) contained $1/2 coupons for these Whisker Lickens cat treats, so I was able to restock on cat treats for FREE. =)
And yes, you may have noticed that one lonely random can of Del Monte corn. When all of my shopping was done, I had only 49 items in my basket, and that just does not work for a Mega Sale. You must make sure you have participating items in multiples of 10! I needed a cheap filler item, and it doesn't get much cheaper than $0.26!

Tom Thumb Trip 1/31
I had planned to go to Kroger this morning, really I did. I even had my kids dressed, and then I remembered that there were some more coupons that I had not gathered yet. *sigh* This sale is a LOT of work...lol. Tom Thumb is closer to my house, though, and they had a few things that I wanted to get. The kids were ready to go somewhere, anywhere, so I gather up a few coupons and made an impromptu trip over to Tom Thumb. Here is what I came home with:
Total Sale Price: $ 34.52
Price Paid After Coupons: $16.45 75% Savings
Here is what I did (note: Tom Thumb will triple up to $0.39 and double $0.40-$0.50, but will do so for only 1 like coupon. The rest are redeemed at face value):
- First, I had a free coupon for the Uncrustables that was expiring today! I had not been able to find these at Kroger.
- The Nature Valley are on in-ad coupon for $1.77 (limit 6) I used some printable $0.50/1 and $1.00/2 (one $0.50/1 doubled) These are found in several places online, including bettycrocker.com and target.com. I paid an average of just $1.19/box. Not incredible, but we love these and have been out for a while.
- The Gushers are on in-ad coupon for $0.99. I used 3 $1/2 that were clipped from the back of the packaging last time I bought these. This made these $0.49 each. There are $0.50/2 from the 1/2 GM insert, and also on smartsource.com.
- The Skippy is on in-ad coupon for $1.49, and I used a $0.50/1 that doubled from Sunday's paper, and a $1/1 from a Superbowl coupon booklet that I picked up at Tom Thumb last week. I do not think the in ad coupon was working, however, and I do not think that the cashier punched it in correctly, so I think I was overcharged for this item, but their receipts are very hard to read. I should have paid only $0.49 each for them.
- The Select Harvest Soup (my favorite!) is just $0.99 each wyb 4. I used a $0.50/2 regular (which doubled) and a $1/2 Healthy Request variety and got them for just $0.49 each.
- The Kraft salad dressings are on sale for $1.50 (today is the last day!). I used 2 $1/2 from 1/23 SS.

CVS Trip: 1/30
I really was not feeling like going back out to CVS tonight after going to church this morning, Kroger to pick up my husband's meds and get my $25 grocery credit loaded to my card (haven't done my big Mega Sale shopping yet...I'm waiting for my free money), and Fiesta to grab lettuce tomatoes and cheese to go with our hamburgers. Yes, I had to pay for cheese because I haven't gone to Kroger yet. =(
But, I knew my $5/$25 coupon was expiring tonight, as well as a $10 off Physicians formula that had printed on a receipt a while back, and it when perfectly with the $7 ECBs back on a $10 Physicians Formula purchase deal this week. They actually had a lot of Physicians formula on clearance 75% off, but after speaking with the manager, I discovered that the clearanced items would not produce extra bucks, so I opted for one priced at $13.99 instead. I also grabbed one marked down to $2.75 just because I wanted to try it ;)
I was glad to see that the Coke deal was still going on this week, because I never made it there last week to get any. I did have to improvise a little bit because the shelves were nearly bare. Here is what I came home with this time. It was a bit of a splurge over what I normally spend, and the Cokes are a real treat for us, because I almost never get them. I spent quite a bit, but I just keep telling myself that I spent less than what the Coke's should have cost, and I got money back. =)
Total Sale Price: $53.21
Price After Coupons: $30.22
Price After $17 ECBs from last trip and tax: $14.31 AND I got back $19 in ECBs. 82% Savings.

Another Coupon For The Kroger Sale: Nestle Toll House
I just checked my email, and guess what I found? Another coupon to go along with the Kroger Mega Sale! This one is for $1/1 package of Nestle Toll House Valentine Friends Sugar Cookies. Kroger has the Nestle Toll House on sale for just $2.29 wyb 10 participating items, so after this coupon you would pay just $1.29. If you need a treat for a Valentine's party, this would be a great one! Sure, you could probably make cookies from scratch for cheaper, but then you would have a mess to clean up, and I seriously doubt they would come out quite this cute! ;)

Kroger Mega Sale: Free and Cheap Items
Before I begin listing out all these great deals, let me preface this by saying that these may or may not be the case where you are. Anytime I am planning a Kroger trip, I always head over and check out the current Kroger coupon match-ups at Savings Lifestyle. Amber does the store match-ups there, and she does an *amazing* job on them, so you should totally check that out. I always find at least a couple things that I missed. ;) Tonight I was over there comparing what I already knew about, and I noticed that several of the items are priced higher at her stores over in Kentucky than at my stores in the Dallas area. Many Kroger stores also differ in the way that they double or triple coupons, so if a deal I give involved doubling or tripling, you must check your stores policy on that.
Without further ado....
The prices I am listing before coupons are assuming qualifying items are bought in multiples of ten and already has the savings factored in (an extra $0.50 off the sale price of each item):
- Kraft Singles -- With Sale $0.99-- Use $1/1 coupon = FREE
- Del-Monte Canned Vegetables --With Sale $0.26--No coupon, but $0.26!!
- Rotel---With Sale $0.42! -- There is some buzz about a $0.30/1 coupon from last Sunday (I didn't get it though), and there was a B3G1 free in last month's All You magazine.
- Bar-S Franks With Sale $0.89--Use $1/1 from facebook = FREE to $0.11 moneymaker
- Honest Tea Single Serve --With Sale $0.75--Use $0.50/1 (doubles) = FREE to $0.25 moneymaker
- Hunt's Tomatoes --With Sale $0.45--Use $0.45/3 from 1/23 SS (doubles)= $0.45/3 or $0.15 each!
- Krusteaz Pancake/Cookie Mix--With Sale $1.49 --use $0.50/1 from 12/5 SS (doubles) = $0.49/box
There are many other items that are included in the sale, and not advertised. There are even items that are advertised on the sale, but not included in the pdf list of sale items from the Kroger website.
I simply do not have the time to do a full ad match-up, so I highly suggest you check out Amber's that I linked to above for the rest of the deals because there are many, many more!
I am seeing new printables pop up that go along with this sale every single day. I plan on waiting to shop until after I get Sunday's paper, since in this region our ads run from Wednesday-Tuesday. This sale will last through next week's sale cycle as well, so you have plenty of time to gather up your coupons and prepare!
If you know of any more freebies that are hidden in this week's sale, be sure to let us know. Also, you can check out my shopping trip from last week, because some of the coupons I used to snag free things were used on items that were not even on sale!
Good luck to everyone who will be shopping this sale. I can't wait to share my trip with you guys. I'd love for you to share your trip, also. Leave a comment below, or if you blog about your trip, leave us a link! I think that seeing pictures of other's hauls can help us find items we may have missed, so share away!

A Couple Facebook Offers: Cheap Lunchmeat and Free Hotdogs
If you have been following me on facebook, then you may have seen these already because I shared them directly on my wall. But these are sure great deals, I wants to make sure you didn't miss out.
Oscar Mayer: Under the "Good Mood" tab. Click on "Let's get started!" Share a good deed, and you will be able to print a $2/1 Carving Board Meats coupon. If you live near a Target, there is also a Target store coupon for this product that can be stacked for a great deal. I believe the value was $0.75/1 but I've already printed it and it doesn't show up for me anymore. I do not know what these cost at Target, but a $2.75 savings on one has got to be a good deal.
Bar-S: Click the idea challenge. Go through the game and get points. (I'm not exactly sure how I got them, but I clicked the prize vault and got 10 points). You need 10 points to redeem for a $1/1 coupon for any Bar-S product. It was sent immediately to my email. These are included in the Mega Sale at Kroger this week. Buy these for $1.39, and 9 other products included in the sale and $5 is deducted from your total, making these just $0.89. Using this coupon will make them free, possibly even an $0.11 moneymaker!
Anyone know of any more current facebook offers? Make a comment so we can all check them out!

New Tabasco Printable
I am not a big hot sauce fan, myself, so if you are like me you may want to give the green bottle a try. It uses milder jalepeno peppers and has a very good flavor. There is also a garlic variety that my husband loves. Read more...

CVS Trip 1/21
I made a trip to CVS tonight to do the Pepsi deal (buy $20 worth and get $10 ECBs)...actually I was not interested in Pepsi at all, but Starbucks. ;) I intended to get 4 packs of Mocha Frappuccino at $4.99 each and throw in a Gatorade to push it over $20. I had to improvise a bit when I got there because they had not gotten any more in on their truck today. They had two on the shelf, and a vanilla. I do not care for that flavor, but I bought it anyway because my husband will drink it and they were out of pretty much everything else pertaining to the sale. Plus, I had 3 $1/1 coupons from 11/21 SS. I picked up a Lipton tea and went to grab a couple Gatorade, but noticed that Sobe were part of the deal also (listed, but not pictured) and I had two free coupons for those, so I grabbed that instead.
I had heard several reports of a deal on Chestal Cough Syrup (unadvertised--adult version only) $5 get back $5 ECBs--I had a $1.50/1 older coupon--made it $1.50 MONEYMAKER after ECBs. I could not find what insert it originally came from, but apparently there will be another on Sunday!
I had also heard about the Vicks Sinex cold medicine being part of the Dayquil deal for $4.99 and get back $1 ECB (there was a $4/1 Sinex in the 12/26 PG --made it $0.99 OOP and FREE after ECBs). Both of these deals worked nicely for me.
I also grabbed a Listerine Zero $3.79 get $1 ECB with a $2/1 printable from coupons.com -- made it $0.79 after ECBs.
Here is what I came home with:
Total Sale Price: $33.75
Total After Coupons: $21.25
Price Paid After $15.89 ECBs from last trip and tax: $5.36 (88% Savings!!) AND I got back $17 ECBs!
Did any of you make it to CVS this week? If so, what did you get? If you blogged about it, feel free to leave a link! =) Read more...
Shopping Trip 1/21--Albertson's and Kroger
I don't often attempt shopping with coupons with both of my girls in tow, especially not at two stores. I must have been feeling pretty brave today, or at least really desperate to get out of the house. I had planned only to go to Kroger, but then a few things caught my eye in the Albertson's ad as well, and the stores are two blocks from each other, so I thought that it just made sense to stop by both while I was out.
Here is what I grabbed from Albertsons:
- 2 Best Life Buttery Spread (I was dissappointed that they only had one tub on the shelf) $0.99--used 2 $1/1 from 1/2 SS--FREE
- 4 Dawn $1.00 each--used 4 $0.25/1 from 12/26 P&G (tripled)---$0.25 each
- 1 Ivory $1.00 used 1 $0.25/1 from 1/16 P&G (tripled)---$0.25
- 2 Spaghettios $1.00 each, used $0.40/2 from 12/12 SS (doubled)---$0.60 each
- 2 Finish on sale (unadvertised!!) $3.50--used 2 $2.25/1 from 1/2 RP--$1.25 each
Total Shelf Price: $24.51
Total Sale Price: $14.00
Price Paid After Coupons and Tax: $5.26 79% Savings! Plus, I think I'm stocked up on dish soap ;)
Next I went over to Kroger. Here is what I came home with (click to enlarge):
Total Shelf Price: $ 89.93
Total Sale Price: $ 60.49
Price Paid After Coupons and Tax: $28.07 69% Savings Not bad considering the $10.49 bag of dog food!
A few highlights:
- Kroger had the Best Life for $1 also (unadvertised) so I used my remaining 4 $1/1 coupons=FREE!
- Colgate $1--used 5 $0.50/1 from 1/2 SS (doubled)=FREE! ***(If you want to get these hurry!!! They expire tomorrow!!!)***
- Carmex $1--used $0.30/1 from 11/7 SS (tripled)= $0.10 each.
- Yakisoba $0.88 (shelf said $0.99 but they rang up on sale)--used $0.50/1 from 1/2 SS (doubled to .88)=FREE! I know these aren't the healthiest thing, but my husband likes them and keeps them at school with him. Sometimes he gives them to his students if he sees they don't have a lunch, so that's a great thing to use coupons for!!
- Bird's Eye Steam Fresh $1--Used 3 $0.50/1 printables (from facebook--no longer available) and 2 $0.50/2 from....well I can't find what insert they were from.....all doubled so they were FREE (3)- $0.50 (4). All said I got 7 for $2 or $0.29/ pack.
- Campbell's Soups $1. Bought 12--used 6 $0.40/2 from 1/2 SS and 12/12 SS (all doubled)=$0.60
- Grands Biscuits (8ct) $1. Bought 6--Used 3 $0.30/2 printables (all tripled) = $0.55 each (that's less that 7 cents per biscuit!)
- I also found a pack of soup bones marked down for $0.98 and I plan to make a soup soon. Score!
Did you find some good deals this week?

Are You A Vocalpoint Member?
I just checked my email, and I had a message from Vocalpoint.com. It said that they had not heard from me in a while and asked me to verify that I was still interested. I find this strange because I check out every newsletter they send me for samples and coupons! This is a P&G opinion community for women. It seems to me that they are attempting to cull some of their members by seeing who is really paying attention. If you are a member, make sure you check if you got the same email. This is a great program for freebies and coupons, so you certainly wouldn't want to have your account cancelled because you missed seeing a short email message. ;)
If you aren't a member, click the link. I love it!
