Diapers Galore!!

OK - Maybe it's because I'm about to have my fifth baby (3 days and counting), but I am on the diaper hunt!  So, here are a few deals I have come across over the past few days...

HUGGIES

There is a great $3 printable coupon for Huggies.  Just become a fan of theirs on Facebook (click here), and check their wall for the link to the coupon.  Don't forget to print it twice.  Now to watch for the sales!!!  Hint: Target frequently has Huggies on sale and they sometime will have store coupons to stack as well.  In fact, if you use the manufacturer's coupon from Facebook with the Target coupon right now, you would save $4.50 per package!  That's almost 50% off ... of DIAPERS! 

PAMPERS

Check your Albertson's ad for this week.  There was an in-ad store coupon for Pampers Jumbo pack diapers for $6.99 (limit 2).  Combine that with the manufacturer's coupon (remember you can stack these - tip from my class): Pampers Diapers or Pants, any $1.50/1 (3-31-10) PG-2/7.  This sale is good until Sunday.

If you miss the Albertson's sale, you can always head on over to CVS (my other favorite store).  Buy 2 packs of Jumbo Pampers diapers for $8.97 each.  Use the $1.50/1 coupon in the PG-2/7 and the $2/1 coupon in PG-2/21 OR RP-3/14.  Well, then, after you buy the diapers you will receive $6 in Extra Care bucks for your next purchase!  Bottom line: $8.44 for 2 packs of diapers!!  

Phew - that ought to get me through the first week or so with the new baby!  I probably won't be posting for a bit, but do watch for some pictures come next week...

Is it Christmas??

Merry Christmas!!  

What?  It's only March?!  Oh, well I just found out that the P&G insert will be in the Sunday paper this weekend!!  To me, that ranks right up there with Christmas.  The insert this week is worth $162!  Multiply that by the number of Sunday papers you are getting and that is money in the BANK!  

If you are still trying to decide whether or not to order the paper, check it out - if you ordered a 6 month subscription for 5 Sunday only papers it would only cost you $123.50!  On weekends like this, you just covered the cost of your subscription x5!!!  What a deal!!  

Call me anytime to place your order over the phone, or call me if you are interested in learning more and would like to host a class with a few close friends and family!

Freezer Meals

I am all about making things easier, faster, and cheaper for myself.  I call it lazy, some may call it being efficient.  Either way, it has proven to be a very helpful quality for me.  

My new passion: our new freezer meal group!!  

A freezer meal group is where a group of a few moms get together, decide on several meals to prepare, then each person in the group prepares the number of meals for each person in the group.  Then we meet to exchange and come home with a freezer full of meals that are ready to be thrown in the oven on any given night!  Here's an example of our group:  There are 9 women, we each chose a recipe to make enough for each woman (I had a pork chop dish).  I prepared enough pork chop meals for everyone, we met for about 30 minutes to exchange meals - which was like trick-or-treating for meals and way more fun than I could imagine, and now I have a Chicken Pot Pie dinner, Penne and Cheese dinner, Sweet Pork dinner, and so many more!!  You get the idea??  For a few hours of work, I now have enough meals in my freezer to feed my family almost half the month if I really stretch it!   

And the best part is.... We will be using the Grocery Smarts lists to find the best deals on meats, and other ingredients so our meals are super cheap.  Even for our first month (not a lot of time to find deals, I got each of my meals for about $4.75!!  

See - cheap, fast, and easy!!!  I LOVE IT!!!!  

(If you would like more information on this, I would be more than happy to email you some more tips - simply leave me a quick comment or email me)

QUICK! Book your class!!

Ok everyone!!  I only have 22 days left before this new baby joins our family!  If you have ever thought about hosting a class, now's the time to do it!!  I have a few openings between now and 20th. 

Do you know about our new hostess incentives?!? 

When you invite just a few friends over so I can teach you all how to save time and MONEY, you will get this super fab filing box to hold your 6 month supply of coupons!! If you have at least 6 news moms there who have not yet been to a class, I will give you a $10 gift card to Albertsons!!  At the class you will be taught just how far that $10 can be stretched!

Like I said though, you want to hurry!!  I won't be back teaching classes until mid April and you don't want to wait that long to start saving $$$!!  Call or email me today to reserve your date!

This Week's Deals

Oh boy, do I have a treat for you!!!  Well, as part of my duties as the Grocery Smarts NV manager, I get to scoop up the Smiths and Albertsons ad for the new week and ship them up to our list maker.  I kind of had an "AH-HA" moment this week and thought, I get a sneek peek at what's coming up and you should too!!!  So, this week, I brought my camera along for a ride and took a few quick shots of some things that stood out.

Albertsons is having a few different promotions where you can earn $10 checkout coupons for your next purchase.  Smith's is having a super meat sale & a Cartbuster Savings deal. You will want to check out the Smith's and Albertson's preview lists tomorrow night and start getting your coupons organized early. Or, if you can't wait that long, check out the Alphabetical Coupon Index and search for your favorite products! 

If you think this is something you would like to see every week, leave me a little comment.  This may just have to be a regular post.  

HAPPY SAVING!!!
