The Holiday Season- a time for thanks

Stephanie over at Coupon Savings Game is fostering a great idea for the holidays.


This fall, DH and I will be picking a few extra items each grocery trip to donate to the San Diego Food Bank.   I encourage all of you to find a charity in your community and donate.  If you cannot afford to buy something, and cannot coupon something for free- clean out your cupboard and donate a few items that are still in date that you may not eat.

For those who live in Eastern San Diego  County, there is also Santee Santas.  They provide boxes of food and gifts to those less fortune. 

And for those who are in need- don't be afraid to ask for help.  There are a lot of wonderful organizations and individuals who are willing to help you. 

Savings class- Learn basics and beyond! November 12, 2009

Alright- It's on!  

November 12, 2009 
6:30pm-9:30pm (email me for our address) We are in San Diego, CA

Learn basics and beyond for couponing and saving money at the grocery store, mass merchandisers like Walmart and Target, and drug stores.  

Just 1 hour each week dedicated to saving- clipping coupons, and filling out rebates- can save your hundreds of dollars a month!

All you need to bring is scissors (to clip coupons!), note taking materials, and if you have coupons that you don't want/need, bring those along too to share with others.

There will be instruction "match ups"- making the most of the coupons you have and what is on sale.
Where to find coupons- beyond the newspaper.
Rebates- saving beyond coupons.
There will be lots of time for questions and answers.

I will have examples of what I have bought with coupons, Items I have brought home for free, and there will be a door prize!

I will be serving food- snackie type foods and maybe a pot of soup or chili.  There will be beverages as well.


Please drop me an email at akeen02037@gmail.com if you are interested in attending.

Take your $3.00 off any 15 oz. or larger Kashi Go lEan Crunch coupons to Trader Joe's.

Some great deals in your favorite magazines- and Free target coupons with match ups!!

For those of you who receive magazines in your home, take a better peak at those advertising pages that contain mail in offers- there are some great deals!

Example:

In November's Shape Magazine on page 63, there is an advertisement/promo page called Self Scene (for those who don't subscribe, check out http://www.selfconnected.com).

There is a mail in offer when you buy 2 Olay Quench Advanced Healing body lotions, receive a loofah set for free!  And in the November issue of Self there are 2 Olay Quench coupons- Save $1.00 and a BOGO coupon.


Also in the November issue of Shape, there is a tear out section with some great SC Johnson coupons, and a coupon for a free roll of Marcal bath tissue. 

Perhaps the best magazine for coupons is All You, which is available for purchase at Wa*Mart.  Discount subscriptions are available at Magazines.com.  If you have a mypoints.com account, make sure to shop through them when you purchase- you can earn points for a magazines.com purchase.  All You has usually $40-$65 in coupons each month.  In addition to the great money saving coupons, All You features tasty, family friendly, inexpensive recipes, and great money saving tips.


In the last week or so, most of you loyal Target shoppers should have received a coupon book from Target entitled, "Clip your way to over $35in coupon savings."

These are Target coupons, so you can combine them with Manufacturer coupons.  Here are some possible combinations using coupons from recent inserts or magazines:

$1.50 off any 2 Crest toothpastes (excludes trial size) match up with two .75 off on any one Crest 4.1 oz or larger or Liquid Gel (from P&G 10/11/09).  That is $3.00 off 3 tubes of toothpaste!

.75 off Multi-pack Kleenex.  Match up with the .75 off Multi-pack Kleenex from the November 09 All you.

$1.50 off 14ct. or higher Mucinex.  Combine with the $1.00 off Mucinex Coupon from the 10/11/09  SmartSource insert. 

$1.00 off Vaseline Skin Care Product.  Match it up with the $1.00 off any one Vaseline Clinical Therapy Lotion.  NOTE: THe Target coupon shows the Sheer Infusion lotion, however, it does not stat that you HAVE to buy that kind.  This may be a YMMV match up, depending on if your target cashier is coupon savvy or if they'll just look at the picture.

.75 off Gain or Cheer laundry Detergent.  Match it up with either .35 off Cheer or $1.00 off Gain.  Both from the P&G insert 10/11/09. I'd go with the Gain coupon!

$2.00 off two Head and Shoulder or Pantene products.  Match it up with two $1.00 off Pantene coupons from the 9/27/09 P&G insert (they exp. on 10/31/09)

.75 off Campbell's Select harvest Soup.  Match it up with .50 off any two  Campbell's Select harvest Soups.  It was in my coupon wallet, I'm not sure when it was in an insert- probably within the last month.

$1.00 off DanActive.  Match it up with a .50 off coupon from a Smart Source machine (blinkie) in most Ralphs/Krogers or in Vons/Safeways.


The last two match ups are from todays (10/25/09) Smartsource insert:

.75 off Colgate 360 toothbrush.  Match up with .75 off the same.

.76 off Colgate Total Toothpaste.  Match up with$1.00 off the same.

The first reader to email me will receive all of these coupons!  Both the Target and Man. coupons!  It's my way of saying thank you!

Sunday goodies!

Well, this week for us, the coupon offerings were pretty lame.

However- Walgreens has a Sure men's deodorant deal this week: 2/$3 and there are $1.50 off q's this week in the Smartsource insert.  Score two inserts and your deodorant is free.  I posted a rebate for these in the past week as well.  So, all in all a great double dip!

I did my "rebate shopping" today.


Drano rebate- Free after $6.00 rebate(and the bottle has already been used- our bathroom drains have been running slow- I blame the Sensodyne toothpaste!)
SC Johnson Rebate $5.00- I purchased 2 packages of ziploc plastic containers at $3.67.each (I had a $1.50 off 2 coupon) and a canister of Scrubbing bubbles for $4.67 (I had a free up to $4.00 coupon).  After Coupons $6.51- after my $5 rebate $1.51. The scrubbing bubbles were great- Yup already gone and good gods, is my shower CLEAN!!!

Rite Aid and Walgreens both have BOGO free on Purex 3 in 1 sheets.  Both are $8.99- so it's really up to you were you buy them- if you have $1.00 off Coupons from a few weeks ago- Use them!  If you hit Walgreens, use any register rewards you may have to help you save more.

Speaking of Register rewards, this week is a pretty great week to stock up on meds and score register rewards. Check out the deal scenarios at Abundant Food Savings.


Domestically speaking, todya I baked cookies, and I am making up a couple lunches for this week ahead of time.  Chicken caesar Salad and some turkey roll ups.  Tonight for dinner: fajita salad (Fajita seasoned beef with pepper and onions)on top of a garden salad, corn on the cob, and beans. And- we washed 6 loads of laundry- All caught up!!

It's Finally Friday!

Seven ways you might be wasting money on Yahoo Finance.


Tonight I am going to do some shopping, on my list:

Secret Pal gift for a swap on HCW (free with my Register rewards at Walgreens)

Drano (rebate)

Glade Candle and Ziploc plastic containers (SC Johnson rebate)

Activia (rebate for a free package of yo-plait)

In addition to my regular shopping.

I hope everyone has a great, and frugal weekend!

American Express Blue- A great Credit card with great benefits

If anyone is interested in applying for an Am Ex. Blue card, let me know and I can send you and email with some info. American Express Blue is offering their cardholders incentives to refer new members.

•     Earn up to 5% cash back on their purchases
•     0% intro APR on purchases for 6 months
•     No annual fee

You can make payments each month, just like your regular credit cards, no need to pay it all off at once, like traditional Am Ex cards.   We used our Am Ex to pay for wedding expenses ( we charged the expenses and then immediately sent a check to Am Ex) and earned $250 in cash back- which paid for our post wedding trip to Disneyland.

It's also great if you use My Points to do your online shopping.  You can "double dip"- earn the points shopping with My Points, and earn cash back with your Am Ex Blue.  It's a win win!

I used mine the first few years I had it as my sole business charge card- I earned cash back for doing my day to day business errands, about $50/year.

It's Sunday!

That means New coupon inserts!

I have 2 copies of inserts, if you need something, let me know.

I'm still accepting your expired coupons or unwanted coupons to mail to families overseas.  We mailed over 500 coupons to Spain on 10/2/09.  I'll be sending the next batch to Japan in a couple weeks.

For Couponing newbies (or if you'd like to brush up on your Q skillz), here is a great set of articles that are chock full of great info: 15 days of couponing by Bargin Briana.


Have an awesome, money saving week!

San Diego, CA locals- a money saving offer for October

Most of my San Diego, CA area readers know that I am, among many other things, a licensed Esthetician.

When the economy goes south, one of the first areas in our budget that we tend to cut is self care.  Professional skin care and massage are both still important to our health and well being.

In light of this, I am offering "Pay what you can" month in October. You can book a 1/2 hour or hour facial, complete with a warm paraffin wax hand dip, any you pay what you can afford.

I have appointment slots open M-F at 5:30 or 6:30 and most weekends from 11am-3pm.  Drop me an email to schedule an appointment. 

I only use professional spa grade products.
