What I Wish I Knew When I Started Using Coupons...

  • It’s okay to miss a deal. The deals will come around again.
  • If the store is out, get a raincheck. It is not a big deal unless you need the item.
  • Don’t buy an item just because it is on sale and you have a coupon. You will end up spending more money this way.
  • It is not worth it most of the time to make a trip to a store for one free item. The sales tend to cycle through the stores. Pick your favorite store and stick with it.
  • Not everyone spends the same amount for groceries, or buys the same items. Don't compare your savings to everyone else. Compare how much you are saving to how much you spent before. It's okay to spend more than $40/week on groceries.

Great Deals for Little Einstein Fans

Target has the Pat-Pat Rocket this week for $22. It retails for $39.99.

DisneyShopping.com has the Alaska Mission Playset and the Egypt Mission Playset that go with Pat Pat Rocket for $5.99 each. The regular retail on these is $19.50 each.

These would make great gifts for Christmas if your toddler loves this show as much as mine.

Also, if you have other toy shopping needs for Christmas, you could combine the Target deal with a $5/$50 toy purchase coupon that came in a Target mailer.

Deal Idea for Beginners:

Transaction 1:

Buy 1 Crest Toothpaste at $3.49, use $1 q
Pay $2.49 oop, get $3.49 ECB

Transaction 2:

Buy 10 Icebreakers at $1 each
Use 5 $1/2 Coupons
Use $3.49 ECB from Transaction 1
Pay $1.51 + Tax, get $5 ECB

Transaction 3:

Buy 2 packs of pampers at $10 each
Use $4/$20 CVS q (only if you are new, or have recently updated your e-mail address)
Use 2 $1.50/1 q's
Use $5 ECB from Transaction 2
Pay $8 + tax, get $5 ECB

Summary: 10 packs of gum, 1 toothpaste, 2 packs of diapers for $7 after ECBs and coupons!

The trick is to roll your ECBs to get more things that produce ECBs. Save your $5 ECB from the Pampers for next time.

If you are new to CVS, don't forget to scan your card at the card scanner/price checker. It will print good coupons to use on your purchases. They are CVS coupons so can be combined with a manufacturer's coupon.

If you are doing multiple transactions, be courteous to others. If someone is waiting behind me, I will usually let them go ahead.

*WYB 4, you will receive a $1 catalina OYNSO*

My DH went into Fresh and Easy for some bread and to pick up some $5/$20 coupons and said the cashier said they no longer had them. This was at Higley and Ray. Supposedly they are only going out through direct mail, which I won't get until ours opens at Ironwood and Ocotillo next fall. If you have the 09 Entertainment book there are $5/$50 Safeway q's. Let me know if anyone comes across any $/$$ q's since the Fry's promo is running until 12/2.

On another note, I went to Fry's today getting mostly the freebie items and the Moonlight Madness deals. I spent about $30 and saved about $70 (it was 72%). I know that is really good savings, but I kept thinking it wasn't what it should be. That's because I bought the Tinkerbell movie which was $19.99. So, if you take out the movie I spent $10 for a cart full of groceries.

Tinkerbell is probably cheaper elsewhere, but they did have a deal for a FREE box of Disney Fruit snacks when you buy the movie. Wasn't worth another trip to me.

Happy shopping!

Save Money with Reusable Bags

Fry's, Albertson's and Basha's will all give you $.05 off your grocery bill per bag you bring into the store. It applies to plastic or reusable bags. You may need to remind your cashier to give you this discount. Because of this discount, I have had cashiers give me $.10 when I was buying items that were free.

My favorite is the Trader Joe's bags. They cost $.99 and are extremely durable. They will eventually pay for themselves. Mine have been paid for over and over again and I am also keeping plastic bags out of the landfills.

I also use a insulated bag that I got at Costco for my cold items. This is especially nice when you go to a store that is far. It's also great keeping food cold on long trips.




Another favorite bag of mine is the IKEA blue bag. It is only $.59 and I use them for everything from laundry (this is the BEST space saving laundry basket ever) to picking up the toys in the living room and placing them back in the child zone to shopping at IKEA (of course!). They have also proved useful for traveling.



Plus, I really love bags. As a child my mom called me the "bag lady" because I always drug several of the around the house filled with toys and canned goods. I was a born shopper! It is my humble opinion that a girl can never have too many bags.

30 Boxes of Quaker Brand cereal
6 Boxes Oatmeal to Go
12 Boxes Green Giant Frozen Veggies

Grand total of $14.99
Saved: $219.58

The lady behind me asked me if I really save a lot with coupons. Yes, yes I do.

Also, keep in mind that I did multiple transactions because of the 3 coupon rule, and a limit of 1 reward per transaction for the Quaker deal.

Happy shopping!
