It's Raining Coupons!!

I'm not sure if I have announced on here that I have begun to write articles for the Review-Journal all about coupons of course.  Well, guess what?  I have started to write articles for the Review-Journal all about coupons!  You can find them at http://blogs.reviewjournal.com/topic/community/shopping.  Don't worry, I will still be posting on this blog as well.  But for the big doozies, I will direct you to the RJ's site.  Here I have a little more freedom to be my silly ol' self and give you whatever info you want.  So... my article today was about the THOUSANDS of dollars that are now in our Sunday newspaper!! Seriously cannot believe that I scored over $2000 this week!!  Here are a few more pics of what my morning looked like... 

 My 8 newspapers I got today!!! Yes, 8!  If you haven't had a chance to check out the new deal Grocery Smarts has hooked up for you, check out this link and get your papers started next week.  Remember, a good rule of thumb is one newspaper for each family member in your household.  Count the babies too, and if you are just getting started, you should get a few extra to really get that stockpile going. 

 Here are ALL the coupons you should have found in your Sunday paper this week!!  Check out my RJ blog post for the exact breakdown on values. 

Don't forget about the value of other coupons to be found throughout the paper as well.  I always pull out the Joann and Michaels ads since they each will have a 40% off coupon for regular priced items.  Little tip:  Did you know that they each will accept each others coupons??  Now, some items that you may want to scoop up to start decorating for the fall you may not be able to use these on, but be creative in there.  Not everything that is orange, black, or brown will be on sale. 

This week too, I found the Hobby Lobby 40% off coupon in the Living section of the Review-Journal.  If you have not ventured to Green Valley to check out this store, you are missing out!!  It is a crafter's dream in there and can be overwhelming if you are not prepared with a handful of these in your back pocket.  I pulled out the Sears ad as well just in case I need to go clothes shopping this week.  That coupon is for 20% off!  I mean, really??  Just another reason why I love Sunday so much!!

Clean Out Those Coupons

Getting ready for the holidays means so many different things to so many different people.  I am itching to get the Christmas stuff out, but I'm one that holds out until after Turkey Day {one holiday at a time thank you very much}.  In the world of coupons, it means that now is the time to start stocking up on baking supplies.  However, before I can tackle the store, I need to do some serious maintenance in the coupon filing department.  Here is a quick list of the inserts you should have in your coupon tote.  

Any inserts that are not listed are completely expired and can be tossed.  

Smart Source

5/16 - Wacky Mac is the last coupon expiring on 12/31/10.  If you already used this one you can toss this insert

5/23 - NidNite or MidNite PM is the last coupon ex 12/31/10.  If you won't use this one, toss this insert too.

6/20 - Fisher Nuts is the last coupon ex 12/31/10.  If you already used this or aren't planning on using this, toss this insert.

7/11 - JointFlex is the 1 holdout ex 11/30

7/25 - Goof Off is the last coupon here too 12/31/10

8/1 - Sonicare & Bandaid/Neosporin coupons still here good until 11/30/10.  This can be tossed after that.

8/15 - BioTrue Multi Purpose Solution, ex 12/31/10

Pfew!! I feel better... nothing like a good spring cleaning to get me in the mood for some shopping!  ;-)

Multiple Inserts!

Did you get all 3 inserts on Sunday? 
Another reason to love the new year... after a few weeks of coupon-less papers, they sure make up for our missing inserts by sending a whole bunch!!  For those of you who started this week - Welcome in a BIG way!  I love to peek at my coupons and add up how much cash I will be saving by using the coupons my family needs and this week is a doozie!!  (Remember, your numbers may be more or less depending on what types of products your family uses)

SmartSource (Sears) holds $20.60 in coupons I would use - times my 5 papers that $103 in savings!

SmartSource (DirectTV) I would use $14.85 from this one - times my 5 papers = $74.25

GeneralMills (well I just love these) I can save $12 for each of those too! That's $60 for all 5.

GRAND TOTAL of potential savings this week: $237.25!  

Considering I only paid $123.50 for 6 months worth of papers I would say it's worth it to have my multiples wouldn't you?!!!  For you number crunchers our there, that's about $4.75/week to have the papers delivered to my doorstep!   

I can take subscription orders over the phone whenever you are ready to get started.  Call me if you want to jump on the coupon wagon (882-0172)!
 Now I can't wait to get to the store - yipee!!

p.s. watch out for a GM promo at Albertsons this week. Add the promo with your coupons and watch out! Oh, and Smith's is having a case lot sale!  Should be a great week for some big time savings!

TRIPLE INSERT WEEK

Check your paper carefully today because it is a TRIPLE INSERT week!! I am too excited to take pictures right now, but wanted to put this up so you don't miss anything!!

You should have your SmartSource with a mouse on the front (ewww), A SmartSource "Diabetes Smart", AND General Mills saver!! What a week... See they always make up for missing inserts on holiday weekends! Happy coupon-ing!!

(It may be a good idea to double check the Smith's case lot sale with these new coupons to see if you can save even more on your favorite items)
