NOW- about the Kozy Shack...A while back I wrote Kozy Shack because 3 of the Ready Grains I had bought....at different times...were cracked and damaged on the bottom of one of the bowls in each pack. They sent me 3 free coupons. I tried to use one at Kroger today and it was marked as fraudulent. Apparently there were some fraudulent DIFFERENT free product ones and since mine had the same UPC code, they couldn't take it either. I was so furious at the company and embarrassed at the store. I just wrote them the most furious email. I would have called them but I didn't see a number on their website.

Clearance at Walmart and such

Well, I DID go to Walmart yesterday, but I didn't use many coupons. Now, get your jaw up off of the floor...I know the shock is a lot to take in.

I went, set to do my normal every week shopping...I had my coupons...I had 2 of my kids and my mom..I was set. Now, I only allow myself a certain amount every week...it's the magic amount RIGHT before my husband spazzes...so, I start looking for deals. As I walk around the store....there it is....the boys clearace rack...everything is $3!!!!! Even complete outfits! Here's where the kids come in..."MOM! I like this!" "MOM!!!! LOOK!!!!!!" Well, honestly, since I went on a tossing it out binge when we switched their rooms, they could use a few new things and who in the heck can resist $3? So, I bought some clothes.

I DID use a $3 coupon on pet food...got it from Goodlife.com, and made a 4lb (?) bag $1.77. I also bought the new All You and since there was a LONG Walmart line, I flipped through...there was a .50 coupon ON All You! So, I ripped that bad boy right out of there and used it on what I was buying!

IN the All You, there is a $3 Adams Flea and Tick product coupon, and the flea collars are $.97. It will make nice overage if you can get it. (And let me sneak in a word about overage....the store...no matter what they try to tell you....will get reimbursed for the entire amount of the coupon. If you use a $3 coupon on a .97 item, it really doesn't matter if they adjust it down to .97 or if they take off the entire $3, they are going to be reimbursed the $3 plus .08 from the company. Coupons go to clearing houses and are sent in bulk to the manufacturer, and the payment goes back to Walmart the corporation, not the individual store, so they cannot lose money letting it go through at $3. Now, this may not get you anywhere with your cashier, but who knows. If not, smile at your free .97 item. At least it's free.)

There were also $3 coupons for Neutrogena make up and $3 on Rimmel foundation. Nice.

Hefty One Zip storage bags are marked down to $1 at Walmart. Good deal, especially if you have the $1 coupons from May.

******************************

Don't forget Old Navy flag t-shirts are supposed to be $1 tomorrow.

Kraft mayo and Kraft Miracle whip...these are $1.99 each, and there were $1/2 peelies on them. That's a good price for them. This is the time to stock up on condiments.

2 cans Dole Pineapple chunks..on sale for $1 each. Had a .55/2 coupon so $1.45/2 isn't terrible. I love pineapple.

Sargento Mootown snacks were on closeout for .79 each

Sargento Potato finishers in ALL AMERICAN ONLY were on closeout for $1.79, I had $1 coupon

Reynolds Wax paper is $1.69 and I had a .50 coupon that doubled

Weber marinade is .89 and I had .50 coupons that doubled making them free

A big thing of Kroger Olive oil was on closeout for $3.83

I don't know why, but there was a huge cart full of Children's Tylenol on closeout for $3.29 each. There have been $1 coupons out. I didn't buy any because I didn't need any, but if you do, you might check your Kroger.

I got a catalina where they are going to run the mac and cheese again (the Kraft powdered cheese kind) buy 4, get $1.00, buy 5, get $1.50, buy 6 or more get $2 on your next order. Dates: 7/3-7/26. The last time, the 5 packs counted as 5 and there are still a lot of Free Capri sun peelies on mine at my store, so after coupon, you pay $1.99 for 5 boxes of mac and cheese and a box of Capri sun.

**********************

Tomorrow, I hit Walmart. Have a great shopping day!

recent deals and steals :)

Time is flying by the past couple of weeks. I am trying to keep up, and if I am sporadic, I apologize.

My Walmart had this: http://www.vsmileshop.com/vtech-v-smile-pc-pal-learning-system.html on clearance for $15! I thought it was a great deal...was $59.96

Also, I learned that they (at mine at least) will be clearancing pool and "summer" type stuff soon. Keep an eye out.

Adam's Flea collars are .97..there have been $3 coupons out in the paper and ALL YOU. IF your cashier allows overage, it can be a great money maker...if not, they are at least free. :)

The dog clothes were also marked down to $3

Mission Tortillas were $1.98 and I had picked up some $1 blinkies at Kroger, making them .98/pack

*********************************

Coupons.com has some AWESOME coupons right now. You can click on the link to the left to get to them. There is a $5/$25 coupon for Rite Aid which would be great to use on your rebate items. There are also some new Hasbro coupons, as well as a lot of $1 off coupons. And B1G1F Quiznos!

********************************

At Kroger:

Our Coke products are 4/$10 wyb 4.
There are $2/ wyb 2 Pibb Xtra, Fanta, Minute Maid, Vault, Nestea, Mellow Yellow peelies, and there have been a lot of tearpads for $1/2 Coke, $1/2 Nestea or Minute Maid, and $1/2 --it says one Diet Coke and one Caffeine free diet coke..but under that it says "good on any 2 Coca Cola can multipack products"

I bought 2 Diet Coke, 1 Minute Maid, and 1 Pibb Xtra for $10, used a $2 and a $1 coupon, so I got 4 for $7 which I think it a good deal.


Also, they are having a buy 10 get $3 mega sale. There are coupons to match a lot of the items to make them REALLY cheap. It is also unlimited rewards, whereas it is usually 3 per transaction. I bought 10 Banquet meals for the kiddos for lunch and it made them .70 each.

I also bought (for the deal):

Oscar Mayer beef weiners (free with free coupon from Kraft)
Kraft 5 pack of mac and cheese (had peelie for free Capri sun on it)
Reeses Puffs cereal (.55 coupon)
2 Cheerios (2- $1 coupons)
3 Chef Boyardee ravioli (I have heard tomato beef spirals ring up .66 but I have not tried it- I am out of coupons for these)
2 Betty Crocker Brownies ($1/2 coupon plus .60 Shortcuts coupon)


I also bought Bluegrass brats...this may be regional, I don't know, but Kroger sent me a $3 coupon for it and they were only $2.50

I had a free On-Cor entree coupon from my writing campaign (which I need to pick back up) and so I also bought that.

I found a 10lb bag of potatoes on closeout for $2.59 and they looked just fine. There were also Peter Pan peanut butters for $1.19 each, so I bought 2, and I bought chicken leg quarters (4 pack) on closeout for $2.91. I seperated them into legs and thighs and we had chicken for dinner.

If you will be making jelly or jam this year, there was a tearpad for free sugar (up to $2) wyb 2 boxes of Sure Jell, MCP, or certo

Kroger deals, food freebies, and money maker!

Well, there were a few good deals today!
Kroger's had Easy Mac for $1 each. I had $1/2 paper coupon and $1/2 Cellfire coupon, making both free.

Keebler crackers and cookies (certain varieties) are $2.79 each, but if you buy 3, they take another $3 off. Coupons.com (link to the left) has coupons for $1 off Sandies and $1/2 Fudge shop. I bought 2 Sandies and a "m&m" cookie type and just used 2 Sandies coupons. I really wanted those other cookies. :P So, I paid $3.37 for all 3.

I found Boston Butt and pork tenderloin marked way down because they just had too much. I love it when that happens!

I also found Buddig Deli meat marked down...some packs said June 17th for the date, but some said July 7th! I think they may have been marked down by mistake, but I'm not complaining!

I got 2 free Suave deodorants..they are $1 each this week and I had 2 .50 coupons that doubled.

In the markdown bin, there was 2 Hunts Spaghetti sauces for .49 each, Kroger corn for .29, refried beans for .39, Suddenly Salad for .79, and One Zip bags for $1.39 (I also had .55 coupon!). Never be afraid of the markdown bin!!!!!

I also bought marked down milk for $2.29, marked down Wesson Oil..a big container for 2.81 (and I had $1 coupon), marked down Pam professional spray $2.09 (I had $1 coupon), marked down Kroger olive oil for $3.83 ( a good sized container), and marked down Arm and Hammer detergent for $2.55 (I also had $1 coupon). These were all on the shelves.

Weber marinade packets are on sale for .89 and I had .50 coupons which doubled, making them free.

McCormick Grill Mates were $1 each, and .50 coupons (doubled) made them free.

Bar S bologna and hot dogs are $1 each, and if you use the recent $1/2 coupons, they are .50 each, but the hot dogs have been .88 at Walmart, so I am saving mine for there.

All in all, not a terrible trip.

**********************

Hectic

Things have gotten hectic with the boys now out of school. The oldest is getting his own room and the youngest is moving in with the middle. We have been cleaning, moving and organizing!

I did go to Kroger yesterday. I got a Boston Butt for .90/lb!! It was marked down because it was going out of date in a couple of days, but I had that sucker tonight. I put it in the crockpot, covered it with onion and bbq sauce (one of the free ones from Walmart) and several hours later...voila!

Kroger has the Kraft shredded cheese (as well as blocks and slices) 3/$5 which makes them cheap if you have the $1/1 (2%) or the $1/2 coupons.

DiGiorno flat breads are running about $2.77 and here is a $1.50 coupon: http://www.flatbreadmelts.digiorno.movies.msn.com/

Lysol products are 50% off and there were recent coupons out as well as the ones that are printable from their website.

*********************************

Well, Kmart is crap. They sent out emails to the people who asked saying all Kmarts would be doubling coupons this week, and now they have backtracked and they only have select ones doing it. Thanks, Kmart. Thanks for being a pain in the rear.

*********************************

ok, Purex has this thing....this NEW thing...some kind of 3-in-1 sheets....you put them in the WASHER....it has the soap in it...then put them with the clothes into the dryer. These are on sale at Walgreens for $5.99, plus there is a $1 coupon here: http://bricks.coupons.com/Start.asp?tqnm=qehibpm7391110&bt=vi&o=56539&c=PX&p=6xDl5JFy AND you get $2 in RR back. So, for $2.99, that's not bad. There is also a satisfaction guarantee here: http://www.purex.com/pdf/purex_guarantee_form.pdf

Also at Walgreens I have noticed a LOT of stuff on clearance around office supplies...and I mean CHEAP. Check yours out!
