Saving money is a journey

See what a typical week of grocery shopping was like for me back in August HERE. This was when I had just started coupons and had brought my budget down from $100-$125 a week to $75 (but if you will notice, I went over).

This was before I...

learned about stacking coupons

had an organization system for my coupons

found good sources for extra coupons

had any kind of stock pile

and WAY before I ever blogged with any frequency!

Babies R US 1/30-2/21

I just got an email from Babies R Us FULL of great coupons and they are printable & you can also use them online. The coupons are HERE.

Some of the GREAT coupons include:
$5 off a value box of Pampers or Huggies diapers
$5 off 40 load or higher of Tide or Dreft
$2 off value box of Pampers or Huggies Wipes

These most likely can be combined with another sale that is going on this month at Babies R US, where you get a $15 giftcard for purchasing 3 items off a list- details can be found HERE. I am going to try it and will let you know! Don't forget BRU lets you combine or "stack" their coupons with manufacture coupons from the Sunday Paper or internet printable coupons.

These are some of the other deals that could be awesome if combined with manufactures or internet printable coupons.

$3 off any 2-pk of sippy cups
$2 off 3 baby lotion/wash/diaper products (Johnsons $3/3 printable HERE)

Best Grocery Deals for this week

Kroger

Still having their mega event- you buy any combination of 10 items that are marked with the green "score mega savings" tags and you will automatically get $5 off your bill which equals .50 off the sale price, this combined with coupons = very good deals. Also since the $5 comes off the bottom of your bill, you can earn overage on some items - like the Hormel Chili. It is on sale for $1- .50 for the Mega sale and there are coupons out for .55 off 2. This coupon doubles meaning you get $1.10 off every 2 cans you buy.

So $1-.50 (mega)- .55 (coupon)= +.05 for each can!!!!

Boneless English Roast $1.99 lb

Harvest Food in Benton

Surefresh Medium Eggs - $.99 (limit 2)
Yellow Onions - 3lb bag = $.99 (limit 2)
green onions - 2/$1

City Market in Bryant

Red or Green Leaf Lettuce - $1 each
Cucumbers - 3/$1
Green Onions- 3/$1
Roma Tomatoes- .69 lb

My plan for the week is to not spend more than $36.35 to get my budget back on track for spending $50 or less a week on groceries and household stuff. I know I am going to stock up on onions to chop and freeze. I also see lots of salad in the next week on our menu! Here is my plan.

2 bags of onions- $2
3 cucmbers- $1
1 leaf lettuce - $1
2 lbs of romas- $1.38
2 med surefresh eggs- $2

For the mega event I have ordered lots of coupons and they should be in by Saturday at the lastest.

Disaster preparedness & Krogers!

It is COLD outside and yucky and we "might" get ice accumulations which in Arkansas means loss of power for an indeterminate amount of time. So today me and Jackson braved the cold to go to Home Depot because our grill was out of gas. Then we met up with Megan & Paxton to get some cheap groceries at Krogers. I love Benton's Kroger. They are always so helpful and they always let mothers with small children go in the 15 items or less line even when they have 10 million items. I went ahead and picked up some bottled water but only because it was on a managers special for 24/$2.50 for Ozarka Spring 16 ounce?? bottles.
Anywho! So now we have gas to cook with if the power goes, water to drink, and I made some rolls and a loaf of bread is currently in the breadmaker. Then I did the dishes and washed a load of towels. The baby is napping and life is GOOD!

Well ya but, oh never mind... men just never get it!

Benton Kroger Coupon Policies

1. Doubles up to $.65 (up to the price of the item- will not give overage)
2. Only doubles 8 like coupons at a time
3. Have lots of Catalina deals where you can buy so many of one item or brand and coupon will print for a dollar amount off your next order. You can buy the items with coupons!

Example of one I did before Christmas: Buy 8 philly cream cheeses and get $4 off your next order- I had coupons for $.50/2 which doubled, they were on sale for $1.25.

So 8 x $1.25 - 4 (.50 x 2) = $6 and then I received a $4 coupon for my next order making my 8 cream cheese cost $2- which was great for all the holiday cooking.

I have also received free yeast to make bread with this kind of offer.

Walgreens Basics

The Easy Saver Magazine is put out monthly, inside you will see all of the rebates for the month and there are also instant value coupons to cut. The Easy Saver can be found in paper form at the front of the store by the weekly ad papers. You can also view them online here.

Couple of things about coupons at Walgreens.

1. Walgreens coupons can be stacked (combined) with manufactures coupons.
2. Manufactures coupons need to be given to the cashier first before any Walgreens coupons to avoid beeping (when the register rejects a coupon).
3. You can use coupons to buy something you are going to get a Register Reward for.

Register Rewards: these are like cash to be used at Walgreens within a set amount of time- watch the expiration dates, it sucks if you don't notice and find it expired!

1. Once in a while they wont print (has not happen to me personally yet), have the manager re ring you up a another register if they still don't print- return your items and get your coupons back!
2. You can also write to the Catalina Company (they are the makers of the machine) and get your issues resolved that way.
3. Register Rewards cannot be used on the same deal to get the deal again. For example if Dove Shampoo is buy 2 get a $5 RR, I cannot turn around to use the $5 RR to buy more Dove and expect the RR to print again.
4. You can "roll" the RR into other deals by different makers or use them on FAR products.
5. You can only redeem 1 RR per transaction but you can do multiple transactions, just split your order up.
