Great Coupons!
I just found some great coupons through Fry's. You have to load them to your card. But especially the cheerios coupons are great because its off one box. They are on sale (when you buy four) for $1.49 -$1.00 (After doubling) and they are $.49 a box! Stock Up!! Click Here
**Important - Check your receipt. Yesterday all of my $4.00 did not come off at the end of checkout. Sure enough I went to customer service and the cheerios didn't ring up as an item on the buy 4 save 4. So I got my $4.00 back. The lady said they have had it happening all yesterday. So double check!!

$6 off $30 Fresh and Easy Coupon!
Fry's only let me use one Fresh and Easy coupon. So I ended up doing two transactions to use two $10 off coupons. Others are saying their cashiers let them use two and some said they still let them use three. I think they changed their policy and are only supposed to take one but maybe try bundling and if they wont let you maybe do some separate transactions. I am headed back today too to use another coupon. Click Here for a $6 off $30 Fresh and Easy coupon.

Grocery Deals 11/17-11/23
Click Here for this weeks deals. Don't miss the free deodorant and shampoo. If you don't like Suave get it and put it in your year supply or save it and put it in a gift box for a needy family.

P.S- I cant wait for next week for the Black Friday deals! I will post good ones I see but share if you find any!

Reasons to Coupon Shop?
I have heard lots of different reasons why people don't want to use coupons. I know you are busy but let me tell you why you need to use coupons. Especially if your family is struggling like many other families. I tallied what I saved just with coupons. This does not include store savings. This is just strictly from coupons I clipped and took with me to the store. The tally from the 16th of Oct to 16th of Nov was $245.49 (I even forgot to add a few trips on here). Now that should be reason enough right? Well add in store savings by shopping sales along with coupon shopping and the savings are over $600.00. Now add in money you save buy clipping restaurant coupons like Olive Garden, Costa Vida, Panda, etc.... its even more. Plus, if you get giftcards or money by swagbucks, inbox dollars, myPoints, and surveys. You are making even more.
So...... this past month I easily saved/earned over $300.00 using my coupons and my other income avenues like swagbucks. Times 300 by 12 and thats $3,600 a year. Well if thats not reason enough I am not sure what is. If you dont know how to do this ask!!! You cant afford to spend $3,600 a year that you shouldnt be spending. You are welcome to come over and I will show you for FREE.

Food storage option!
My mom introduced me to eFoods Global. I cant even tell you how excited I am about this product. I have been working for years to try and figure out how to get my food storage and keep it rotated. I finally found my answer! This food storage lasts for years and its dehydrated food. Yummy dehydrated food. Its also healthy and lost of it is gluten free. All you mostly have to do it add water and you have your meal. This is the easiest and cheapest option for our family right now. It comes out to a dollar per serving. Some families are saying they eat this a couple nights a week so it has also cut back on their grocery bill. For me the main thing is that it can be rotated EASILY because its something we will actually eat.
So here is what I am doing. I am cutting back on my grocery bill by only buying three meals at the grocery store instead of five. The money I am not spending at the grocery store is going into my food storage money. This will grow my food storage and also fill in the two extra meals a week for our family. I am buying portions each month so I am hoping in a year to have my full year supply of food. Its a precious commodity these days!
So if you are interested in this food you can either 1) Let me know what you want and I can order it for you because I get it at wholesale OR 2) You can become a member for $29.00 a year and buy your food at wholesale as well.
Now on the website they tell you about all these marketing opportunities and how you can make money by getting people to enroll. This is just an added bonus. I am not in it for the business aspect, only to build my year supply. If I get some of my year supply paid for because others love this as much as I do, thats just another added bonus!!

Entertainment Book
The Entertainment books are out for 2011!! I talked a little about this deal earlier. Well inbox dollars is giving members $8.00 if they purchase this book. This is by far the best deal I have had come through inbox dollars. I went ahead and ordered my book today. It ends up being $20.00 after the 5.00 discount, free shipping, and 8 inbox dollars. You will EASILY make your money back if you buy this. Last year our family used so many coupons from this book. It was well worth the money. I was browsing some of the coupons for this year. There are movie ticket coupons, cruise discounts, rental car discounts, air fare discounts, food discounts, museum discounts, family fun places (Some from this past year were BounceU, Fiddlesticks, Renaissance Festival), clothing stores, and much, much, more! If your family likes to do fun things this is a great way to get discounts everytime you go. Let me know how this deal goes for you! Like always, comment if you have questions.

If you are signed up with inbox dollars, print your coupons from their site. You get .10 back for every coupon you redeem.

|
Great Great Deals!
Fry's is awesome this week. LOTS of freebies. LOTS of great deals! Seriously if you havent gone yet, GO!! Saving $200.00 at checkout makes the preparation time well worth it! One thing I did want to mention is to make sure you pick up the Az "The Valley's 30 Best Dishes" magazine. It has an AJ Fine Foods $10.00 off $50.00 or more. Its in the magazine isle at Fry's. Use this coupon in addition to the Fresh and Easy $10.00 & $5.00 off coupon. I just held it during checkout to make sure my total was going to be high enough before buying the magazine. I just tore it out right there and then paid for the magazine. This week I used this amazing blog to get the great deals. Click Here. Good-Luck.

Also check Targets website and see what coupons they might have to take to Fry's. There are some great Safeway coupons and Albertsons coupons in their add. If you spend $100.00 at Fry's take the Ablies free turkey coupon and get your Thanksgiving turkey for FREE!
|
Printables!
Head over to coupons.com to print your coupons. There are great coupons for Huggies wipes and Huggies diapers. They also have an old orchard juice coupon for a dollar on four. Sometimes these go on sale for 1.00 so they would be .75 after coupon. I also printed the reach floss coupon. Last week these were on sale at Target for a dollar so they are free after the coupon.
|
Preview for Tomorrow
All the stores have some great deals this week. This is good news for those of you who live up in Northern, Az. Some great deals and Bashas and Safeway! I will try to get these deals posted early tomorrow morning.

Gerber Catalinas still printing!
I bought 20 jars of baby food and 6 things of Gerber snack because I had a coupon and my kids love these. Anyways I got three Catalina's at checkout. Two $.75, and one $3.00 of my next purchase at Fry's. It pays to buy in bulk especially when Gerber is giving out such great Catalina's! Plus I had more coupons print out for me next time I go.
|
Follow-up Walgreen Diapers
I went today and did this Walgreens diaper deal. It worked great! I was running errands so I ended up stopping at three different Walgreens since you can only get one pack of diapers per trip. Good-luck! Comment if you have a question about this deal.
|
Walgreen Diapers
At Walgreens Huggies diapers are on sale. They are 7.99 - 1.00RR (Register Rewards)= $6.99. Plus we have coupons for diapers as well. There is a limit of one.
If you dont know what Register Rewards are, it is money that prints when you checkout that you can use next time you shop. So on this deal you will pay 7.99 and get a dollar to spend next time.
Idea:
1st Trans
Buy one Colgate toothpaste 3.49 -1.00 coupon = 2.49 +3.49RR.
2nd Transaction
One pack Huggies diapers 7.99-3.49(From previous transaction RR) - 2.00 Huggies coupon= $2.50+ walk home with 1.00 RR.
|
Surveys
Another way I earn a little extra cash each month is by filling out surveys online. It has taken me a while to figure out which survey sites I can earn the most money doing. Opinion Outpost is one of my favorites! I have earned the most using them. When my kiddos are down for a nap or I have some free time I spend it doing surveys. Even if you only have time to earn $2 a day thats $60.00 a month. That means extra money for date nights, clothes, etc..
Click Here if you want to sign up with Opinion Outpost.

Coupon Entertainment Books
If you haven't seen these books they are great! We bought one last year for a fund raiser and we loved it. I easily used more in coupons than I spent for the book. If you signed up for Inbox Dollars they had a great deal where you get $8.00 from inbox dollars for buying one plus a free $25.00 restaurant.com gift card. The book costs 32.00. So after the $8.00 + $25.00 you make your money back. Plus you get an awesome coupon book full of coupons for food, shopping, travel, etc. Its a great deal!
If you are still interested in doing inbox dollars click here.
|
Baby Formula
Click Here to get a $3/1 coupon for similac formula. Great coupon!
One other idea for getting formula cheaper is buying it off craigslist. Since there was a recent recall on the larger cans of similac formula I would buy the smaller cans just to make sure you aren't getting formula that should be recalled. Sometimes I get my formula for half price off craigslist. Make sure the can is un-opened and check the expiration date.

Good Grabs Albies- There is a good sale on cereal and fruit snack again at Albies. Its GM cereal and we have coupons for both the cereal and fruit snacks. And catalinas will probably print if you buy 3 or more boxes of GM cereal. Roast and chicken is also on sale here this week.

Target/ Huggies Wipes
I ran to target to get some wipes. They ended up being on sale for $5.49 which is decent plus having the 2.50 off coupon online. So that makes them 2.90. Pretty good deal.
Also if you have a reach coupon you can get reach floss for free. Its .97 plus there is $1/1 coupon you can get online. I also got the instant oatmeal for like .29. There is a 2.00 printable coupon available.
On my way out I saw the giftbags were on a big sale. So I ended up picking up a couple giftbags, nice ones, originally three dollars for $.68.
If you have any questions email me @ kamscoupons@hotmail.com. :)

Good Grabs @ Albies
Great Catalina that printed for me was 3.00 back from General Mills for buying 5 or more boxes of cereal. I bought six boxes. I spent a little less than a dollar per item this trip. I got 5lbs of meat, diapers, cereal, gum, cookie mix, and rasberries. Normally I wouldnt even buy gum or cookie mix but they were really cheap or free. So get yourself motivated to get some of these great deals this week at Albies. You should have coupons for almost all of these items.
Great Grabs:
GM cereal
BC fruit snacks
BC muffin mix
BC cookie Mix- FREE
ground beef
soft soap - FREE

New Addiction
Sooo.. I am in love with yard sales. I cant even tell you all the amazing deals I got on things in the past two days. And its all because of my great friend that got me into this. We are talking 32 pieces of clothing for around $8.00. That's .25 cents each. I got great brand new clothes with the tags still on. I also found brand new winter hats and scarfs for my boys which were brand new as well. This really could be a great way for you to save money on clothes and tons of other things like toys. And like I said I got clothes that still had the tags on so they are brand new. You cannot get those deals in the store. I got my oldest boy a semi-truck that holds the smaller cars for .50 cents. It looks brand new! Try it! Share your steals by commenting!

Yard Sales
My really good friend has gotten me into yard sales. She never pays more than .25 cents for clothes and she gets some great brands that are in really good shape. Ill be posting later some good swipes we get if we find some today. Yard sales can be another great way to get reduced prices!

Fresh & Easy Coupon
I believe Fry's is still accepting competitor coupons this week. Sign up for the Fresh & Easy email list so you can get their coupons sent to you. This week I got a $6 off $30 purchase or more so I will for sure use this when I go to Fry's. Click here! Also safeway has coupons printed in their add. Clip these and take them to Fry's too. A few I am going to use from Safeway are the mission tortillas and the cottonelle toilet paper.
Albertsons has some good deals this week to so I am shopping there as well. My hubby loves blueberry muffins and they have the Betty Crocker muffins on sale as as well as cereal and fruit snacks. Ill post more details about shopping this week once I go tomorrow.

Coupon email suggestion/Keeping track
If you are really wanting to get into heavy coupons and shopping deals, I would suggest creating an email account just for coupons. I use my coupon email address for anything I do that has to do with saving money. It really helps lessen tons of emails going to your personal account and helps to keep it better organized. Also, please feel free to leave a comment if you find a good deal that I haven't posted. I will do my best to re post those deals so everyone can benefit. :)
One other suggestion; get yourself a binder or something that you can keep track of your savings. Excel spreadsheets work great too. This really helps to keep the motivation to continue bargain shopping. You will be surprised at how much a dollar here and a dollar there adds up! Its fun to see the monthy, quarterly, and yearly savings! You will never want to go back to paying full price again. Prepare to get addicted to savings!
