Score at Albertsons!

(sorry for the poor quality photo...my camera's still in the shop)

Don't let this week go by without checking out the sale going on at Albertson's! They have a couple promotions going on: buy 10 items (from a select list) and receive a $10 voucher for your next transaction. This sale might take a little more planning than others, but it is well worth it. Consider doing separate transactions since only one $10 voucher is allowed per "transaction."

Here's the rundown:

Total Value: $203.44

I paid: $75.02

Bonus Buy/Preferred Savings: $67.42

Manufacturer's Coupons: $61.00
63% savings

(I must add: I got two packages of diapers and $10 of ground beef for my husband's pack meeting last night. Those alone are a $35 value. Plus, I got 12 Betty Crocker Warm Delights and 4 Progresso Bread Crumbs for FREE thanks to my multiple coupons from the Sunday paper)

This is so much fun! Don't you agree?

No Inserts Today

Sorry, ladies... no inserts this weekend. None in your junk mail this past week and none in the Sunday paper on 2/15.

Rule of Thumb - Anytime a holiday falls on a weekend, major coupon publishers (SS, RP & PG) take a break. Sad, but true.

Did You See Your General Mills Insert?

Sorry there's no picture (I'm still cameraless). Did you see the extra insert of coupons in your Sunday paper today? There was a General Mills insert with lots of good coupons. So, if you didn't see it, go back and fish them out of your papers!

Who Loves Free Stuff??

So, today I got this for $.99

and this for NOTHING! That's right FREE!
How you ask? I'll tell you and you can go get them too!

I got the Venus at Walgreens.
Price $9.99
Manufacturer's Coupon (from P&G this week) $2.00
Register Rewards $6.00

I got the Fusion at CVS.
Sale Price $7.99
Manufacturer's Coupon (from P&G this week) $4.00
Extra Care Bucks $4.00

These two pharmacies are GREAT for finding amazing deals like these. It takes a little time and planning and educating yourself on how these stores work. But, as you can see, it's totally worth it! These are only a few of my red hot finds today (another being pampers for $2.19). The best way to learn how to do this is host a class with at least 12 people there, and I will schedule an "advanced couponing class" for you and one friend to come and learn all sorts of cool tricks.

In the mean time, start using the grocery smarts website to save on your weekly shopping trips. I love teaching people to save so be sure to call me with any questions.

Calling all Shoppers

Yeah!! My class schedule is finally open! I am booking classes again and I'm filling up quick. To book a class call me or e-mail me and I will be happy to get you on the schedule. I actually have one opening left for this month...next Wednesday, February 11th. I know it's right around the corner, but these days, it's not hard to round up a group that wants to learn how to save a few pennies. So, if someone wants to snag that day, let me know. In the meantime, be sure and start using the Grocery Smarts website. You can find the instructions here. And as always, feel free to call me with any questions, concerns, or great shopping trips you'd love to brag about!

This Weeks Inserts

(my camera is in for repairs so sorry...no pictures)

Well, since I didn't get a Red Plum insert last week with my grocery ads, I was really looking forward to it yesterday. It didn't come. I'm not sure why...talked to a friend and she got one. I sure hope it's not a trend. I did get a P&G insert, though. So hopefully you looked through your "junk mail" and found your coupons. Remember to date them with the upcoming Sunday date (2/8).
