My goodness, there's finnime! Hi finnime - many thanks for all the envies! I'm trying to get back up on the wagon. SuziQ - sorry to hear no more Spam musubis, but I'm sure that's for the best. I found lately if I eat too much salt (chips, nuts, popcorn), I literally get a pain in the side (my kidney) which doesn't stop until I flush out the salt. We've been avoiding most red meat, except for hamburger, more because of $$$, but I know its a good thing. I had been replacing half of the ground beef with turkey - need to get back on that too.
Today I'm going to work with my Safeway ad and plan some meals! I want to do a big shop, so at least I can get the $10 catalina for spending $75.
Does J4U stand for the Safeway program? Is K4U the Kroger version?
Spotted Nidena too! It's so fun to "see" people again. Holly, gas on this island is $4.41 (for regular), but up to $4.89 on the big island, and a whopping $5.09 on Kauai.

I had the craziest trip at Walgreens. I took my dd (who is 21) with me to buy the wine. We were gonna do seperate transactions. Cashier said they can't do that by law. Fine we were just gonna get one bottle each today. They were ringing at 6.99 (not 7.99) and I grabbed bottles with $1 coupon hangers on them so they would be 5.99 with a $5 RR and eligible for rebate. Anyways she tells me they will print all the RR's so I go to buy the remaining 5 bottles. It only prints one $5 rr. She calls a manager and rings up the next woman. The manager comes over and she gets so distracted she doesn't even finish cashing that woman out but winds up giving her MY receipt. Now they can't refund me without the receipt. After much ado they finally ring up the bottles one by one and give me the RR's and return those. But now I am left with only a full sheet print out of my sale..not the receipt and after I got to the car I realized she didn't take the coupons off. SIGH......was so close to basically coming away with 6 bottles of wine for free after sale, coupons, RR's and rebate.

saveinla: Thanks for the heads up on the Special K. We do eat a lot of cereal and I really stocked up when I had the $4/4 Kelloggs q's. I'm debating the deal hip2save outlined--mainly because I do have a SavingsStar account and $4 EB's. Thank you for thinking of me!
misspt: Your envie arrived today. Thanks! I'll be getting the ICBINB tomorrow at Safeway: $1.99 - $1.25 IP = .74 each. Awesome!
CVS deal:
4 5ct. Allegra $27.96 2 12 pk diet coke: $5.00 CRV 1.20 Tax: 1.66
Minus: $5/$25 Allergy purchase CRT (from red machine) $5/$7 Allegra q's from 4/1/12 SS (they reduced the last q to $6.96
So, in essence, the $5/$25 Allergy purchase CRT paid for the two 12 pks. of diet coke. Total OOP was $2.86. Not bad as I was down to my last two 12 packs and my two free 12 pk q's from the Coke Rewards program have not arrived yet!

Many times the cashiers will THINK they know better than you (the customer) how something will work or how a transaction(s) should be done; but TRUST ME, a lot of times, they have no clue. You pretty much have to go in knowing what it is that you're doing and stick to your guns.....in a nice way, of course. As long as there are still hangtags on some of the bottles, you could still snag a couple for free, couldn't you?

Well, day #1 in April and I've already saved over $40 by using coupons. I bought (8) of the Zantac tonight at WAGs cuz that's how many inserts I was lucky enough tot get. Do any of you remember when that product first came out and the 8 cnt. was a MM at WAGs? I'm pretty sure it was free after coupon and you got a RR cuz I had a HUGE stockpile of them (I would never have had that many if it hadn't been a pretty big MM ). The product is so good though, that I was willing to pay $.99 plus tax for them this time around. I donated a lot of the other ones that I had purchased before they expired, but I'll be hanging on to these per suzi's little lessons about the longevity of OTC meds. Dancin: thanks for this heads up as I didn't get this in my regular inserts, this coupon wasn't on my radar, so the deal wasn't on my radar either. Now I know where to get some cheap zantac which I use. I also remember the MM deal from 18 (?) months ago, I am using my last pack right now.... misspt: Wow, I'm so glad that I posted it. Ya, some of the sites only post the freebies, but sometimes there are some pretty good deals that require a little OOP. Don't forget to use the IVC in the booklet by the ads for an additional $2 off making each box $.99 plus tax.

RE: WagsWent to do the 2/$5 Kelloggs cereal => $2RR. Had the $4/4 MC. I asked the mgr if they would honor it even though, to get the two $2 RRs, there would have to be 2 separate transactions. She grudgingly said she would, but ONLY this one time(dire warning on a stern and adorable 18 year old face...hard to get upset with a kid)... and I was to go and sin no more. Gosh, I felt like I'd gotten away with a felony charge??? Got the 4 boxes for $10-$4MC = $6 and the (2) $2 RRs. $1.50/box isn't bad. DS is out on his own and is a lot more flexible about which cereal he eats than DH.

I want to shout out to FrugalSuz a big thank you for inspiring me to try Staples rewards program!!! I tallied up my March totals. In March I bought in assorted paper, ink and other office supplies $179.97 total, I paid $75.81 after coupons/rewards. ;D The best part though is that for those purchases I got $46.83 in rewards for next month PLUS sent in for $46.14 in Easy rebates! For March I came out ahead by $17.16 all for buying stuff that we need. (I also used the rebates from Feb to pay for some of my March OOP. ;D) That's fantastic 973beachbum! ;D

HOUND ALERT: Allegra coupons from yesterday's paper. Neither one of my papers---not even the GOOD paper ---had them. Vince says they are what works best with his allergies and I'd like to get a stockpile going with the $7 Q. Has anyone heard of Insane Inserts? A lady at Kroger was telling me about it the other day and I can't find the website. They send coupons out of Florida. It is Insert Insanity www.insertinsanity.com/servlet/StoreFront. I have been using them for almost a year now. They also have a site for individual coupons www.wizclipz.com/servlet/StoreFront, where all orders are the same price no matter what the Q face value is. Sometimes this is a good deal (higher values), but for the lower values it is not. Plus, I find their customer service to be top notch.

HOUND ALERT: $1/1 BERINGER WINE (3/25 RP) Exp 4/15
Safeway is running a 30% off deal on wine through the 10th (I believe) and there is a variety of Beringer that DH and I really like. If I get (6) bottles with (6) coupons, I can get an additional 10% off. Wine coupons are very rare and in conjunction with a good sale is even more rare. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I did my first deals yesterday, and I feel pretty good about them!
First, I went to Target:
Olay & Venus Razor - $8.99 Olay & Venus Cartridge - $13.98 MQ $5 off wyb Gillette razor and cartridge SQ $5 off wyb Olay & Venus razor and cartridge Target $5 gift card wyb 2 Gillette products Total OOP = $4.49 each (and 22.98 towards the PG rebate)
Tums Freshers $2.49 MQ $1.50 SQ $0.75 OOP = $0.24
Then I went to Meijer, and this was part of a bigger order: Campbell's Great For Cooking Soups - on sale for $0.75 MQ $0.25/4 (doubles) SQ $1/6 OOP = $0.50 each
Campbell's Condensed Soup - on sale for $1 MQ $1/4 SQ $1/4 OOP = $0.50 each
Birds Eye Steamfresh/Freshlike - on sale for $1 2 MQ $.50/2 (doubles) OOP = $0.50 each
Allegra 30 ct - on sale for $15.99 2 MQs - one for $7, one for $5 2 SQs - $5 each OOP = 4.98 each (I did this one for my dad, who is allergic to my stepmom's cat ;D)
Overall, 66% savings which I'm pretty proud of for my first attempt.
Hound Alert Birds Eye coupons from the 4/1 SS - there were two, one for Steamfresh and one for Freshlike (both $0.50/2) - DBF and I eat a lot of frozen veggies, and I'd love to stock up while they're on special here.

Great job!! I checked my Qs, for the Birds Eye and did not get them. I always help when I can, but I live in the LOCC (land of crappy coupons). I'll keep looking for your hound alerts though.
