Question for all you SoCal gals--especially if you are in/around San Diego: Is there a blog like myfrugaladventures that covers your area stores? I want to send it to DS. Thanks. Big THANK YOU herekittykitty, ohiositter and weasfeler for the envies. My calcium needs will now be fulfilled! Dancinmama: I'm an August b'day gal too! Mine was the 18th. Happy Birthday to you! What is it now: 32, 33?

I'm not sure if this has been answered or not but Food Lion in my area has pasta on sale for .79 and I have a coupon for $1.00 off. How does Food Lion treat overages? I don't want to be embarrassed at the check out. Thank gals!!

i totally heart pinterest!!! I started an account last week and I'm trying to get into it, though I can't totally grasp how it works. It would help if I could add the pinterest button to my toolbar, but for some reason my computer won't cooperate. It's annoying to have to open up the site any time I want to add a webpage to my boards. you shouldn't have to open the page. The pin won't stay in my toolbar at work, but it does go into my favorites, so when i see something i want to pin, i just go to the pin in my favorites.

It may be different today (with all the new restrictions on coupons) but, at one time my local FL gave the overage. I remember hot cocoa mix on sale for $1 a box and I had three $2 coupons = 3 boxes free plus $3 off my bill! I'll have to look at this weeks ad - I didn't see the pasta.
Waiting for Irene ---

murphath - I use www.southerncalisaver.com/ which is pretty good. It has the grocery stores from this area, but I think this person is in Riverside or LA county maybe. There are followers from San Diego there though (who post in the comments section sometimes). I'll be interested to see if someone else posts other sites.

I think she is in Riverside. murphath, I don't have any local blogs except this one. I just follow the bigger ones and adjust my prices up by 50 cents to a dollar. For example the Del Monte tomatoes last week were 49 cents after the Buy 10 promo at Kroger, but we had it for 99 cents after the promo. So all prices have to be adjusted up, including the drugstores. Deals do not vary that much between the bigger grocery stores - it's just a difference in the prices. HTH ETA - Belated Happy Birthday murphath. Hope you enjoyed your day.

DebinWA: Got your envie!! Thank you so much! It probably came a couple of days ago, but 13 yr old DD picks a different spot everyday to put mail! Found it while picking up the dining room OhioSitter: Whew, glad they got there in time! Sorry they didn't make it out on Saturday.

oreo and saveinla: Thanks! I'll pass that site to both DD1 and DS as both are in San Diego area. I'd think the Vons/Ralphs in Riverside would be the same as SD--not that far away. It will give them a good place to start.
Dancinmama: No Dancinmama is ever over 33 years old--tops! It's how you feel and your moniker indicates that you enjoy life!
Thanks all for the b'day wishes. The actual day was pretty quiet--we were all working! But we celebrated the next day and my BFF took me out for lunch on Monday. She's French American and it's always good to get some "francais" practice.

dancin - I put off the return for a week and a half because I was anticipating a hassle. And I sort of felt guilty for making such a mess of a transaction and then taking half of it back. But the extra cash was a real blessing for me right now, so I guess I'll stop sniffing the gift fish. LOL. Is it just me, or do you feel a new pound phrase coming? "Stop sniffing the gift fish!" LOL

Hi all. I am just posting to say I hope everyone has a nice and safe weekend. I have been furiously packing to evacuate. Hopefully the house will still be here when I get back. ;D I did also pack as much as possible in the car so that in the even of the worst we will at least be able to have a few things we need and want. They are expecting us to be without power for at least a week so don't worry if I don't post for a while.

For people who like the No Nonsense organic cotton socks - they are on sale at RA - B1G1 50% off and you get 2 Up WYB 2. Here's how it works out
No Nonsense Organic cotton socks - 1 * 1.99 No Nonsense Organic cotton socks - 1 * 0.99
If your store will allow you to use 2 - 1.50 VVQ that are available in this month's video values, then add the RA sanitizer that's on sale for 1$ to absorb the overage, pay 48 cents + tax and get back 2 Up for the socks and 1 Up for the sanitizer. HTH

I was happy to give them some to tide them over till next week when they get paid. They are on a fixed income they get SS. Thank you all for helping me with my stockpiling. I haven't been here much lately because work has started and I have to turtle my stockpiling for now. I still buy papers though.
