Strawberries!!!!

I found strawberries at Costco for $4.99 for 4 pounds. They are big and juicy and sweet. I bought a couple of containers and made some jam with them. We also ate some with sweetened condensed milk. Yum yum!! This is just in case you love strawberries!!

Winco

I know it is a bit far away, but I was in Winco last night and found some good deals on canned fruit. Dole tropical fruit was $.92/can and the pineapple is $.88/can. There are two coupons, one specifically for Dole pineapple $.55/2 cans, and the other for Dole canned fruit $.55/2 cans. They are smart source coupons, not sure what date, you can look them up on the coupon list at PYP. I also found Activia yogurt 4 packs were $1.78, use the $1/1, and Mission Tortillas were $1.39 and I used the coupon $.75/1. They also have many General Mills cereals on sale for $1.88, and $1.78. There are coupons for $1/2 boxes. I bought Cheerios and Chex. They have Frigo string cheese 12 pack for cheap (I think $2.28) and there are $.40 off coupons.

I also did a few deals at Walmart this week. We just got a Red Plum coupon for $2/1 package Stayfree. If you use it soon (before 3/31) you can combine it with the buy one Stayfree, get one free coupon that expires then. I bought Blistex chapsticks too, they are $.98 and used the $.35/1 coupon (Smart Source). Also in that latest Red Plum was a coupon for $3/1 Snuggle. I used this on the fabric softener sheets at Walmart, regularly priced at $3.48.

Happy Shopping!

Discount Lipstick

The new Fresh Market on 4700 So. and Redwood has discounted all remaining Loreal and Almay make-up to 10/$10. When I looked through it last night, there are lots of lip products, some nail polish and various foundation and powders. If your looking for a new look, it is a pretty cheap way to go! :)

Case lot sale combine forces

Is anyone interested in "combining" shopping with the case lot sales going on in the next week or so? There are definitely some items I want to get at the lower prices, but I don't necessarily need a whole case (there are only 3 of us after all :) ) so if anyone is interested in "combining" shopping with me let me know ASAP!

Wesson Oil

Sisters, the sale at Albertson's this week has a 5 star deal on Wesson Oil in the 48 oz. size. The way the sale works is to buy $25 of products and receive a $10 voucher off your next order after you pay for your transaction. If you were to buy just oil, the final price on it would be $1.50 each. Check expiration dates on the bottles, but unopened oil will generally store in a cool dark place for a year. There are other items on the sale you can use to make up your $25. You don't have to just buy oil. See your ad, or call if you have questions.

I think the easiest way to realize your savings on a sale like this is to pay for your $25 of items, get your $10 voucher (catalina) and do a second transaction, using your catalina on the rest of your groceries that day. That way yours savings are sure, and don't go missing in your purse somewhere. Happy shopping.

Valassis pulling newspaper coupons!!!

Aaaack!! Here's a link to what's being said about this on PYP.
http://www.pinchingyourpennies.com/forums/showthread.php?t=126357&page=1&pp=10&highlight=redplum

If you don't have time to read through it all, the gist of it is that Valassis is pullling the RedPlum inserts out of the paper in certain markets, with Utah being one of those. Supposedly you can sign up to receive the inserts by mail, but there is some question as to whether the inserts are the same. Regardless, no more stocking up on papers when the coupons are great.

PYP is asking everyone to contact Valassis and the newspapers to see if we can get them to change their minds. Here's a link to PYP's "Don't cut my coupons!" page with sample letters, etc.

paper plates, but hurry!

Sisters, the grocery smarts list did not include this deal, and I almost missed it. The coupon expires tomorrow.

Chinet lunch plates are on sale 2/$5, and this coupon applies: Chinet lunch plates 36 or 72 ct. $2/1 (6-30-09) SS 5/3 In the end, they are $.50 a package! Just in time for the 4th.

Albertson's Sale

Hey Sisters, beware of the Albertson's sale this week. The wording on the add indicates that you get $10 back (this is a catalina) when you spend $25 or more. That means, if you are going to do more than one group of $25 items, you will want to split them into transactions so you can get the $10 back each time. Happy Shopping!

Make money off Budweiser

It's been awhile since I posted. Maybe you have heard about the Budweiser rebates? If not, you should! They can be found in the beer aisles and other places. I have one I got from a coworker that is for 10.00 off any 10.00 purchase of condiments, pizza, dressings, etc. I just asked for another one from the Albies butcher block and it is for 10.00 off any steak/seafood purchase. No, you don't have to buy any beer to use these. You just mail them in with your receipts. SUPER easy!
Plus, the cool deal is this morning I went to Albies and they had the nice JUMBO shrimps on sale for 21.98. Total ripoff, but my husband LOVES shrimp, so I try to watch for whenever it's on sale. I had heard about the budweiser rebate, plus I noticed Albies had them on sale B1G1 free....so I got 2 big packs for 21.98. Plus, I'm using this for the rebate, bringing my total down to 11.98, plus I had a 4.00 off coupon any meat purchase, making it 7.98 for TWO HUGE bags of SHRIMP!

Also, in case you "stock up" on newspapers when they have good coupons, this is a great week. I just went and bought 8 "preview" papers at Harmons this morning. They have 1.00 off cereal and 1.50 off cereal coupons, A MUST in our house!

Susie's Deals

Maybe some of you have caught a glimpse of this shop, located on the north side of Target at Jordan Landing. My sister turned me on to this clothing store and I was instantly intrigued when she told me that everything inside is $5.99 or less. Stopped by today and got a dress for $5.99 and a T-shirt for $5! They seem to have a little bit of everything; men and boys, kids and teens, misses and plus, etc.

Huggies coupons

I have a booklet with Huggies coupons if anyone would like them:
$3 off Pure & Natural Diapers; 2 coupons for $1.50 off any pkg diapers; $2 off Overnites; $1.50 off Little Swimmers; .75 off wipes; $1 off Bath & Body; $1.50 off Sun Care. They are good until 8/15/09.

Give Away Today

This blog has daily give-aways (thus the name) from a whole range of items- all you have to do is leave a comment! http://giveawaytoday.blogspot.com/

Little Girl Tops

Ran into this site, www.andeelew.com. Here is the description:

Long, plain colored, long sleeve and baby t-shirts, with no hearts or frilly on them for girls 0-5 years. The shirts your are always looking for in the colors you can never find. They are great for layering!

Long sleeve shirts are $4 and short sleeve are $3. They also have nursing covers for $15. Shipping was $7 for a $15 order, which makes three shirts roughly $5-$7 dollars a piece. Thought I'd pass this on...you never know when you'll need a hot pink, size 2T long sleeve shirt, and when you do you'll never be able to find one!

Discovery Gateway

Hello ladies! There is a coupon in Friday's paper in the LifeEtc. section for 2-for-1 admission to the Discovery Gateway Children's Museum. Coupon is valid until July 31. Admission is $8.50 per person; free for children under 1.

Harmon's Deals

While at Harmon's today, I found some great deals that I don't think were advertised. So, select varieties of Harmon's brand ice cream for $1, Ranch style bread $1 a loaf, and frozen potstickers, a 16 oz. bag $1 (they were in an end freezer). Happy shopping!

Meat sale

When I went to the Smiths (4100 Redwood ish) on Saturday morning, they were having a mega meat sale, I got something like 15 steaks for less than 15.00. WAHOO for summer barbequing!

Walgreens Register Rewards

The Walgreens on 47th and Redwood has lots of Rightguard deoderant good for the Register Rewards. There is a $1 coupon in the Apr 19 Smart Source coupon section. Some of the deoderant already has 55 cent coupons on them if you don't take the newspaper.

There was not any of the Colgate Toothpaste on the shelf.
