Hy-Vee shopping

As you can tell by the math something ended up awry. The vitamin waters and miracle whip all rang up wrong. I asked them to fix the price, and the manager did. My told should have been around $4, but I will take less. LOL. Manager could not figure it out and told me not to worry about it.

Big buzz going on about the Redplum coupons.

2009-03-13T10:56:00.000-07:00

Sad to say but very soon Redplum will not be putting an insert in the paper. They instead will be mailing them to their customers. Which means you can't get anymore than 1 insert. We are not 100% clear on why this happening but it is set in stone.

READ THIS EMAIL:

We understand that Red Plum inserts are being mailed to individuals who have joined their mailing list. If you still need to reach them, you may contact them at 1-800-437-0479 and press option # 3.

We certainly will share your comments and dissatisfaction with the disappearance of Red Plum in your newspapers with the appropriate individuals in our company. We look forward to your continued interest in our products.

Kmart to double again.

2009-02-13T19:11:00.000-08:00

KMart's next round of double coupons will be 2/22 - 2/28. These are the latest rules: "Amount of credit from doubling or tripling a coupon cannot exceed the current retail price of a single item. No cash or in-store purchase credit will be awarded for any amount exceeding the retail price of the item. Limit 1 coupon for each item purchased. Only 1 coupon will be doubled or tripled per item. You may only purchase 4 of the same item using double or triple coupons. Buy One, Get One offers, Kmart Savings coupons, Kmart Pharmacy and Kmart Store coupons are excluded from this promotion. Coupons do not apply to sales tax. Limit 25 coupons per customer per day. Internet coupons or copies of manufacturer instant coupons are not valid. Offer excludes products prohibited by law, including but not limited to alcohol, tobacco, and prescription medication. Not valid on non-merchandise, federal or state regulated items, prior purchases, Lands’ End, Sears merchandise rung on Sears registers within Kmart and Kmart.com. In the event of a return, coupon savings may be deducted from the refund."

Got this from one of the sites I hang around. Don't think all the Kmarts in all the areas will be tripling. I'll post more on it when we get closer to the dates.

Just wanted to let everyone know that I have been slow lately because my FIL died. I haven't really been shopping either, so you haven't missed out on any awesome deals. I'm trying to get back on track. Although it was a nice break, my food budget was brilliant for the month and I had plenty of food from stockpile I didn't have to worry about what we were going to eat during this time.

Hope you all have been doing well. I have a sick kid so it might be a few more days before I can get shopping again.

Seriously slacking!

2009-01-13T18:45:00.000-08:00

Went to Walmart yesterday and the Pepsi 12 packs were on sale for $1.90 to beat Hy-vee prices. Says on the tag "While Supplies Last"

They also had kids girls and boys shoes marked down to $10. I got 2 pair for Zerius because they were last in the size we needed. I will be back to see if they marked them down some more.

On www.giveabowl.com they have $4 off IP coupon for any size Purina brand cat or dog food. Walmart 3.5lb bags of Friskies runs about $4. Website only leet me print one but I have heard that others have been able to print more.

I also had a little bug tell me Walmart woule be able to find beat the $2 12 pack of Pepsi. I'm headed there tomorrow to check it out. You might want to stock up while you can. My understanding is that Pepsi have decided to downsize their packaging to 8 cans and charge the same amount. I believe they are they are getting the old stuff sold to make room for the new stuff.

In other news... a couponer will be on the show Wife Swap Jan 16th, make sure to check it out. Should be interesting!

Bought a new printer

2008-12-11T18:06:00.000-08:00

So my old printer ran out of ink the other day. I have printed so many coupons poor thing couldn't handle it.

Went to Walmart to pick up the black ink and they wanted $21 for it but was out. They said it would be a week or two before back in stock. So I looked at the printers. I noticed the HP all-in-printer that was on sale for $29 on Black Friday is now marked down to $24.

Being the frugal person I am I made sure and check the prices on the ink. $14.50 for black and $18 for color. Much better than what my previous printer ink costs. I'll probably still check on ebay and see if I can get a better price.

1 HP AIO printer $24 (saved $5)
14 Nestle Hot Coco 10 ct boxes $1 each used the $1 off 2 mfc
1 6 piece barrettes (no coupons *gasp*)
Subtotal $40.78
Total after coupons $35.65

I think I am getting more noticed for my coupons all the time. The cashier asked before ringing me up if I had any match ads first LOL. Then on the way out the door another cashier wanted to know what good deals I had gotten today.

I will be giving a coupon class for a Family Rewards meeting sometime in February or March. I'm looking forward to it. I told them I should bring all the free stuff I have in my basement and then realized I probably couldn't fit it in the van.

I noticed these good deals this weekend at Hy-vee. Friday, Saturday, and Sunday only. They also are serving cake on Saturday from 11 a.m until 1 p.m. to welcome the store director. I'll be there for cake and good deals on Saturday!
Pepsi 12 pack 5/$10
90% lean ground beef $1.99/lb.
Boneless skinless chicken breasts $1.49/lb.

Love those Match ads!

2008-12-09T12:14:00.001-08:00

Went to Walmart again today. I had noticed in the Hy-vee ad last night that they had Hefty trash bags on sale for $3.88 10-70 ct. We had a few other things to pick up so I matched the ad.

Just thought I would put it into perspective. This is all the stuff from Kmart that I paid $6.44 total for. Not all items are in the picture because the kids ate or drank it before we got the pictures taken.

My shelves in the basement are full again! I need to figure out how to get those free. *wink*

I plan to go shopping tomorrow so check back again.

Got this sweet deal from Snapfish tonight.

This is new for me...

Lately I have been so busy trying to let all my friends and family in on all of the deals I am getting it's getting too hard to keep track of who I told what. So I decided a blog might be the best way to go.

Hopefully I can be informative and inspiring to some along the way.

We spent the day in Des Moines trying to get as many free items as we could while Kmart is still doing Double Coupons.

The first Kmart we went to on Hickman Rd. I was pleasantly and they had almost everything we needed. We had a friendly cashier but I noticed the coupons were not deducting correctly.

Total before coupons on the 1st order was $61.42, after coupons total was $16.17. Surprisingly high considering most of the items I picked up would be free.

Total before coupons on the 2nd order was $61.03, after coupons total was $7.24. Much closer to the right amount but still more than it was suppose to be.

I told the cashier something had happened and the coupons were deducted incorrectly. She told me to take it to the service desk and have it taken care of. I took more than an hour and a lot of headache to get it sorted all through. When we finally did they refunded me back $29.xx, MORE than I had originally paid for both orders! So I walked away with $6 more dollars in my pocket.

I took the $6 and went to the Kmart on University. Their computer did both my transactions smoothly and I would have paid $26.50 before coupons, $.90 after, for my first order and $27.31 before coupons, $2.48 after, for the second. I still had about $3 in my pocket.

Here's what I got!!:
16 4 pack Oil of Olay bar soap
8 Gillette Body Wash
16 2 pack Duracell Batteries
16 Dove Beauty Bars
3 Tums Smoothies
8 16 oz. chocolate Nesquik milk
2 Rold Gold Pretzels
3 bags of Lifesavers candy
2 Blistex chapstick
3 Johnson's Buddy Bar soap
1 Crayola Twistable Pencils

Then we went to Walgreen's. I was in search of the Reach toothbrushes that reaped the Register Rewards but they were all out.

I bought 5 Colgate Total toothpastes.
They were on sale for $2.99 each.
I had $1 off coupons for all of them
And they gave me $2 in RR (register rewards) for each one purchased.

I bought 6 Crayola Color Wonder Kits that were on sale for 3/$13.98, bringing my total to $29.92.
-$10 in RR
Paid OOP (out of pocket) $19.92
I also received another $5 RR for an order over $25.

I then purchased 2 bottles of Echinacea that were B1G1 (buy one get 1) for $5.49.
Used the $5 RR
Paid $1.48 OOP

Total OOP for all items purchased today right under $30.
