Suggested printable coupon, Red Baron Pizza $2/off

There is a valuable $2/off Red Baron Pizza by the slice coupon when you "like" Red Baron Pizza on Facebook- HERE.

I'm guessing that this will later pair up with a sale for a good deal. I recommend printing it and putting in a file of internet printables for later use. Coupon doesn't expire until 2 months from date its printed, but they will go fast.

FREE bateries!!

You can print a $1/off coupon on Facebook HERE or Coupon Dede had them for sale as well (not sure if they are still in stock or not).

Some newspapers also had these $1/off coupons in the 3/21 SS depending on your location.



Walmart sells 4pk AA Rayovac for around $.94 and Target often has various smaller packs in the dollar spots (when you first walk in) for around $1...making for FREE bateries!


Thanks Coupon Katarina!

WOW!

Giant Eagle starting tomorrow 4/29.

Here are some good deals for the coming week at Giant Eagle 4/29-5/5:

2. Colgate toothpaste OR toothbrushes $1.50. Use the $.75/1 coupons from the 4/25 SS OR, if you order(ed) them from Coupon Dede its time to trade them in for your FREEBIES!!
3. Oscar Mayer bacon is on sale B1G1 Free (buy 1 get 1= B1G1). Use TWO of the $.75/1 coupons from the 3/21 SS to save $3/off the cost of the one you will pay for. I'm not sure of the shelf price for these, but should make for very cheap bacon.
4. Ronzoni Healthy harvest pasta $1.50- $.75/1 from the 4/11 SS= FREE pasta!
5. Doritos are B1G1 Free. I don't know of any coupons to match with this, but good deal if you are a Doritos fan!

9. check the flyer for deals on baby products. Buy $30 in products listed get $6/off your next shopping trip. I'm sure there are some coupons to match with these as well. The $30 requirement is PRE-coupons...so you could probably do some decent deals.

Who says you can't get free meat/produce??

So, for those of you who say you can't get free meat or fresh produce...let me show you the way!

Check my post from earlier today on the MONEY MAKER deal on lunchable small subs through tomorrow at Giant Eagle.

Basically, for each sub I "buy" (at $.04/each) I will get a coupon for $1/off my next shopping order at Giant Eagle.

HOW do you get free meat/produce?? You then use these coupons on your next order (can be during the same trip- just do separate transaction) on your meat and produce!!

I do the same thing with transfer prescription coupons. I transfer Tony's meds when coupons are available. Like right now, Meijer pharmacy has coupons for $20 off your next shopping trip when you pickup a new or transferred prescription (anything new to Meijer pharmacy that is). So, I transferred a script that I needed refilled from CVS to Meijer (simply take the bottle into the store you want to pickup from) and when paying gave them my pharmacy coupon and got a coupon in return for $20 off groceries. I then used this to buy meat and produce for free.

Oh, and the pharmacy coupons I used were in the Meijer weekly ad the past few weeks on the back page. Keep your eyes open! Also, many local pharmacies will accept competitor coupons, so Kroger may also take these Meijer coupons- check with the pharmacy you wish to use prior to transfering prescription!

AHHHH... the tricks of the trade!

$5/off Olive Garden Coupon thru 5/7/10


$5/off Olive Garden Coupon! Good through 5/7/10 when you buy 2 entrees!
Don't forget to stop at Giant Eagle and purchase your $25 gift card in advance. For every $50 in gift cards you purchase, you earn $.20/off per gallon of gas at Get-Go.

140 FREE address return labels!

Get 140 FREE personalized address labels from Vista Print! Hurry these go fast!

You'll pay shipping and handling (about $3), but these are CUTE!!

You might also want to check out the 25 personalized business cards for $.99. These are great for exchanging information with other moms- can list your name, cell #, home #, email. etc.

Thanks Deal Seeking Mom!

Huggies baby wipes: $1 at Kroger.

HUGGIES WIPES $1 after coupon at Kroger

Through this Sunday, May 2nd, Kroger has Huggies baby wipes on sale for $1.99.

Use the $.50/1 coupons from the 4/18 SS (or at Coupon Dede) to make these $.99 after your coupon doubles. Limit 5 of the same coupon per transaction. Do separate transactions if you want more than 5.

Current Coupon Dede Recommendations:

So, here are my current Coupon Dede recommendations:

These can be found under the "feature clipped" link.
1. Bertolli pasta sauce $.75/1. After these double- makes for good deal on sauce.
2. Colgate toothpaste $.75/1. These go on sale a lot at Giant Eagle, Kroger (currently this week) for $1 or $1.50- which will make these free after coupon.
3. Colgate toothbrushes $.75/1. These are on sale this week at Kroger for $1.
4. Capri Sun sunrise $1/1. Makes for cheap juice boxes after coupon...available most stores for under $2.
5. Hershey Bliss chocolate bars $.55/1. Should make for free chocolate after coupon doubles. I haven't seen these at my stores, but haven't been looking for them either.
6. Marcal FREE single roll of tp, facial tissues, etc. (equivelent to $1/off). Facial tissues are every day priced at $1.25 at Giant Eagle and regularly go on sale for $1...makes for free or very cheap tissues.
7. Marcal $2/off 4 pack of tp. Giant Eagle SOMETIMES runs these on sale for $2. IF they do, it would be free tp...no guarantees as to if/when the next sale will be though.
8. Mentos gum $.55/1. Giant Eagle and Kroger both run these all the time for $1 on sale. Free after these coupons.
9. Tony's single serve pizzas $1/2. These sometimes go on sale for $1/each at Kroger. Would make these $.50/each after coupon.
10. Birds eye steamfresh veggies $.50/1. Kroger, Giant Eagle and Meijer run these on special pretty often for $1. I use these to get almost all my veggies free! I stock my freezer when they are on sale.
11. There are also $.50/1 Birds eye Boxed or bagged frozen veggies (non steam fresh)...same deals happen just depends what kind you would prefer.
12. Huggies wipes $.50/1. These are on sale for $2 at Kroger this week- making them $1 after coupon doubles.
13. Betty crocker warm delights $.75/1. These also go on sale a lot at Kroger and Meijer for $1. Would make these free after these coupons. Non-sale price at Meijer is $1.99 making them $.50 if they don't go on sale.
14. Silk Soy Milk. If you use this product, LISTEN UP!!! She has B1G1 Free coupons....a great deal by themselves. BUT, you can use at most stores with the other ones she has for $.75/1. This would mean two half gallons for less than the cost of one! PLUS, if your stores double the $.75/1 coupon- that would be even better deal! Kroger and Giant Eagle would be great places to use these!
15. Ziploc zipper bags B1g1. Good deal. Could be combined when they go on sale for an even better deal.

Those are some of the coupons I would recommend buying if you are going to place an order and IF you have these stores in your area. Also, you can use the search box to browse items that you might purchase on a regular basis. For me, my boys go through a Yoplait Trix yogurt 6 pack a day...so I always purchase some of those from her as well.

Coupon Dede- ordering Coupons online.

So...one of the other big tricks of the trade is to order coupons online. This is a mart way to go on items that you know go on sale on a regular basis or that you use a lot of.

Some of the most popular sites are your general Ebay or my personal favorite is Coupon Dede.

I like her site because its easy to use, great customer service AND she ships QUICK! So, if I see an item on sale, if I order early in the week, they will arrive to me in time to use for that weeks sales before the end of the week.

So...many of you ask how I do this?

Let me give you an example. Weeks ago, when the lunchable coupons came out in the paper for $1/off....I know from past experiences that stores regularly put these on sale for $1/each or around that. So...I stocked up on the coupons by ordering from Coupon Dede. At the time they were out on her site, I bought 30 of them. I paid about $.10 for each coupon but now they are on sale at Giant Eagle and I'm getting the lunchables for free.

I do the same thing with frozen veggies and that is also how I have gotten my toilet paper for free for over a year and a half now!!

When items go on sale (such as lunchables this week)...I stock up as many as I can store and use before expiration. So, yes...right now, I have about 25 lunchables in my fridge!

After I pick up my kids from school, I will post some recommended purchases for those of you interested in what might be good coupons to stock up on.

Kroger Freebies- Columbus Ohio area anyway.

Ok, here are some freebies at Kroger this week, good through Sunday May 2nd.

Mentos gum on sale for $1. Use the $.55/1 ($.55/off one) coupon from either the 4/25 or 2/21 SS after these double= FREE!

King size Reeses peanut butter cups $1. Use the $.55/1 (says dark chocolate but works on any) from the 3/14 SS= FREE

Angel soft TP (4 roll packs) $1. Use the $.50/1 from the 2/14 Red Plum newspaper insert. OR use this printable (remember you can print 2 by hitting back arrow and refresh)= FREE tp!

Colgate toothpaste (select varieties) on sale for $1. Use the $.75/1 from the 4/25 SS= FREE toothpaste

Colgate toothbrushes (select varieties) on sale for $1. Use the $.50/1 from the 4/25 SS= FREE.

IF I find more, I'll post em'.

Also, if you don't have these coupons- some of the more recent ones are available for purchase at Coupon Dede. I know some people don't like to buy coupons, but I figure if it saves me money in the end- its worth it. She ships very quickly so if you order today you should have them by the weekend in time to use before the deals end on Sunday.

I know the colgate toothpaste and toothbrushes coupons are available there. There are also other good coupons I will post next for purchase if you are going to order.

Giant Eagle MONEY MAKER!! Lunchables little subs!


Attention Giant Eagle shoppers!


Here's the scoop. Giant Eagle has lunchables on sale this week B1G1 Free. (check your flyer to make sure this deal is happening in your region but most are.)

These are running $2.08 each.


If you use one of the $1/off one coupon from the March 21st Smart Source Newspaper coupon inserts on EACH of the lunchables (yes, you can do this even though you are getting one free- just trust me!) then they come out to $.04/each.


BUT- to make this an even BETTER deal...a MONEY MAKER...if you buy the new little create your own sub (just the sub not the ones with the juice and all)...you get a coupon at checkout for $1/off your next shopping order.


So, potentially you can buy 2 of the little sub lunchables, use two of the $1/off coupons from the paper to make these two for $.08. AND, you'd get two coupons each worth $1/off your next shopping order...so you'd basically end up making almost $2 and getting your kids lunch free too!


IF you are new to couponing and don't have the lunchable coupons, you could still do this deal and for each of the ones you buy you'd pay $1.04 and get the $1/off your next shopping order coupon at checkout which basically makes them free for you...just don't forget to use the coupons you get at checkout before they expire!


THIS DEAL ENDS TOMORROW- Wednesday April 28th.

Thanks to my friend Deana for alerting me to this deal!!

AND- here are my tips for the furture (abreviations and such):
MM= Money Maker
SS= Smart Source coupon insert
Catalina= is a coupon that you get AFTER you checkout for use on your next purchase.

Columbus area Kroger: Tostitos and Rold Gold pretzels




So, for you new couponers who don't yet have a collection of coupons built up to use--- I've got a deal for you!

At Columbus area Kroger stores (possibly other locations as well), Tostitos are on sale for $2.77/bag. My Kroger store had a display in the front isle with bags that have $2/off peel-off coupons on them. I used these to get two bags at $.77/each. Then, in the middle of the chips isle, there was a Tostitos display with a peel off coupon for FREE Rold Gold pretzels when you buy 2 bags of Tostitos.

I used all of these in one transaction, paid a total of $1.54 and got two bags of Tostitos and a bag of Pretzels without any coupons that I had previous to walking in the store!!

If you are in the Columbus area, as of tonight- the Kroger on Morse Road still has lots of all of these coupons remaining.

Free Caress Body Wash 2oz sample

For a free sample of caress body wash.

**Another helpful new couponer hint is to start an email account that you will use JUST for couponing stuff. Often, companies make you enter email and its convienent to have a coupon email account for these purposes.**


TO get you all going...

At CVS this week, if you buy two CVS brand sun block, you get a coupon at checkout for $5 off your next purchase. The 2oz bottles are only $2.19. So, if you buy two of the 2oz bottles, you'll pay $4.38 and get $5 coupon off your next purchase at CVS.

Fig Newton cookies at CVS $1
Use this coupon for $1/off to make these free!

Wheat Thins $1 at CVS this week.
$1/off to get these FREE as well!
Use this link to get your $1/off coupon:

Make sure you are getting the right products at these prices!
Also, as with most internet printable coupons, you can hit refresh and print 2 to double your freebies/savings!

**Also for newbies- these products are probably NOT the larger size...they are probably be the smaller individual portion sizes on sale for $1. But free is free!**

Getting Started:

At the request of some family and friends who have followed my couponing success...I have started a blog where I will share tips on how to get started using and saving with coupons and later share details on current deals.

TO GET STARTED...START buying the Sunday paper and saving your coupons!! DO NOT cut them out of the inserts. Simply store in a folder with that weeks date on it. So for this past Sunday, I have 6 of each insert from the paper in a folder labled "April 25".

Once you have coupons available, you'll be able to start taking advantage of deals!

More "getting started" info to come soon!

AND, make sure to link yourself to my blog by becoming a "follower" to receive my updates.

WELCOME! Lets start saving!!
