Achooo Tissue anyone?

Safeway has another great Catalina going on this week. If the Flu hits our family this year we are going to be well stocked. Here is the deal:

Buy 3 boxes of Kleenex .99 each

• Use the .50/3 Blinkie found above the kleenex
• (I guess the Shadle store does not have the Blinkie)
• Pay $2.71 OOP
• But then get back a $3 oyno Catalina and a coupon for $1/4 Kleenex

Then Buy 4 boxes of Kleenex .99 each

• Use the $1/4 catalina
• And the $3 Catalina
• Pay .30 OOP and of course get the same two catalinas

That's .07 a box. I can live with that. This Catalina is good until Oct. 3rd

* Update: It looks like they may have pulled this deal. I called the Catalina company today and they said that it was not supposed to work on these boxes.

Target deals

I spent a little more then I usually would today but I really wanted to stock up on the Magic erasers. (We go through a lot of these)

• (20) 2pk Magic Erasers $2.54 each = $50.80
• (9) Johnson Soap Buddies .97 each = $8.73
• (30) Facy Feast appetizers for cats $1.22 each = $36.60

Coupon Crazy!

It's hard to say when it happened, But I know for sure that it's true. I am a couponaholic!

10 tell tale signs that you are now addicted

1. You dream about couponing, or about your next scenario. 2. You won't buy something because you don't have a coupon for it. (Even though you need it) 3. Every magazine you pick up, you look for coupons first. 4. You haven't watched a single tv show since you started couponing. 5. You have taught your kids to look for the "Blinkies" in the grocery store. 6. Your husband uses coupons to entice you to come to bed. 7. Your camping with the family, but looking for a wi-fi connection the whole time. (and you smuggled the printer so that you can print coupons) 8. You scare the newspaper man every Sunday morning waiting on the porch. (Even though you already know what's coming) 9. You train your children to cut and sort coupons for you and pretend it's some great new game. (And you start to question how long it will be until your toddler can help too) 10. Your three year old wakes up crying from a nap, and when you ask her what's wrong she says "I just need to go couponing at Albertsons!"

I'm thinking instead of teaching coupon classes I should start Couponaholics classes. I would be the first member as I can't stop shopping! I posted this in July but with all my shopping lately I thought I needed to again.

Safeway deals

I was soooooo incredibly tired today. Work is crazy, I'm having a hard time adjusting to the kids back to school schedules, We have been out every night this week with either, soccer, ballet x2, Dave Ramsey classes, Open house at the school, meeting with Leah from La Vida Cheapo, barbecue lunch at my daughters school, kids homework and reading and to top it off both the girls have colds and have been getting me up in the middle of the night. I don't think it will be long before the men in white coats with the straight jacket come to take me away!

So after dinner tonight I took off for a little "me" time. Yes, I had to get my fix I needed to get some stuff for free or almost free. It's amazing the rush you get when you walk out of a store with saving so much and paying so little. :-)

My son works at the Safeway on Francis. I have really been trying to make and effort to support his store. He kept asking me when I would be in this week. Of course I had to wait for the three day sale to start. Here is what I got.

(9) boxes of Mac and Cheese crackers $1.00 each

(7) boxes of cheese nips $1.00 each

General Public tickets do not go on sale until Oct 12th.

Last Camping trip of the year

We decided to make one last camping trip for the year. We are leaving today and will be back on Sunday. I'm not sure if the campground has Wi-Fi if they do I'm sure I can sneak in some blogging Saturday. Have a great weekend everyone!

Wanted

My Mom and I were joking the other day on how nice it would be to make Wanted Posters for the cashiers who feel they need to make up their own policies on coupons. How funny would it be to snap a picture of them so that we could warn other couponers? Would we just casually hold up our cell phone and snap a picture or would we let the kids play with our camera and have them take a picture of the cashier.

I bring this up because I had "One of those" cashiers today. She had made up her own rules and thought that I would put up with it. So I counted to three and as politely as I could had this conversation with her.

• Cashier: You can't use more then one RR per transaction.
• Me: Why not?
• Cashier: Because that is our policy.
• Me: Since when?
• Cashier: It's always been our policy, we are now enforcing it.
• Me: Do you have that in writing somewhere?
• Cashier: No, my manager trained us on it this morning.
• Me: Really? May I speak to your manager?

Manager calls up front and asks cashier what they need.

• Cashier: I have a lady trying to use more then one RR and she has coupons too.
• Me: (Feeling very irritated ) Why don't you just scan the coupons and if the register takes it we will know if your right. I just did this same transaction yesterday with no problem. I guess the rules changed overnight. (In the brightest, sweetest voice I could muster)
• Cashier to manager: She wants me to scan the coupon.
• Cashier to manager: It's working. It's $1.04
• Me: Could you ask your manager to come up front?
• Manager: How can I help you?
• Me: I feel very frustrated that this transaction had to take 15 minutes when it should have taken about two.
• Manager: I'm sorry we are having a lot of problems with coupons and RR.
• Me: I feel that you should error on the side of the customer and not make someone using coupons feel like a criminal. You should train your cashiers to scan the coupons and only question them if the register beeps.
• Manager: I'm pretty new here. I really don't know what the policy is. I will forward your comments on to the Store Manager.
• Me: I will too. Have a good day.

I bring this up again because no matter how hard a Manager trains their associates each person is going to interpret the same information differently. Later when I talked to the Store Manager he explained to me that he had trained the cashiers one coupon or RR per item, not transaction. The cashier misunderstood what she had been trained on. Apparently they had cashiers pushing through RR that they should have not taken. It's easy to get angry and loose your temper but if we talk it out and are polite we will all be happy. :-)

Couponing 101

Several readers have asked me lately what about meat and produce. I have actually heard from a few people that couponing is not for them because "They only eat Meat and Produce" My question was really? I don't know how you do that. Your family doesn't use Ketchup, Mayo, Milk, Cereal, Bread, Butter, Granola, Spices, Beverages, Yogurt, Salad dressing, Soup, and on and on. With a family of five we eat meat and produce everyday. I once (10 yrs ago) tried to make my husband a "Vegetarian dinner" he still brings it up to this day how I tried to "Starve him" or "Kill him" depending on who he is telling the story to. Therefore we have some kind of meat with every dinner. For those of you that want to know how I stick to my budget and still buy plenty of produce and meat It's simple.

1. Once a week I go to Winco and pick up the fruits and veggies that we need for the week. I find that Winco has the best everyday prices. I can buy grapes for .88lb and still only pay .50 each for a red pepper.
2. If a store that I'm running to has a "Lost leader" like bananas for .29lb of course I'm going to pick some up. You can never have enough bananas. Especially if you love banana bread.
3. I make my menu based off of what is on sale for the week. I stock up on "Great" meat prices.
4. I do get meat and produce for free. A couple of month ago I was getting Free Kraft barbecue sauce, For buying free barbecue sauce I was then getting free meat too. Two weeks ago I was getting A-1 steak marinade for .23 each and was getting $2 in free meat every time I spent the .23 on the marinade.
5. I have learned to try different cuts of meat. I bought Beef bottom round roast for $2.48lb and found that it works great for carne asada. By the way Winco pre slices this making life so much easier. So of course at this price I would stock up as well.
6. I make a menu plan for the week and buy the items I need.
7. Gardening is a great way to have fresh produce in the summer as well. We planted two apple trees a few years ago. I'm still looking forward to a great harvest some day. I didn't do a garden this year myself but will next year. I have been given some great produce by friends and family.

I'm not here to make a couponing believer out of everyone. I'm here to help those that want to be helped. I had someone leave a comment about the amount of granola bars I bought last week. They asked what will you do with all those granola bars? Here is what I wrote back.

Dear Anonymous,

I purchased the 14 boxes of granola bars this week so that I could get 7 gallons of free milk. I gave 2 gallons of milk and 4 boxes of granola bars away immediately. I put 2 gallons of milk in the fridge and 3 in the freezer. I then took 4 boxes of granola bars to work that my college kids ate in one day. That left me with 6 boxes of granola bars that I have put in every ones lunch last week. As of this morning I only have 4 boxes left. I am snack mom at this weeks soccer game so if we are lucky there might be one box left. So my answer to you is that we are going to eat them.

Saving Money on the everyday items of life gives us the luxury to spend extra money on Meat and Produce. My pantry and freezer have never been so full. I am spending less, giving more and am more organized in are eating plan. I will say this again, Couponing is not for everyone It is a part time job, It can be frustrating but also very rewarding.

Target put to the test!

I frequent the Northpointe Target quite often and several cashiers know that I use coupons, While checking out one day the cashier informed me that they had a meeting about coupons and they were told to error on the side of the customer.  I was glad to hear this as I had experienced "Coupon Nazis" in the past.  She also told me that if the coupon scanned without beeping they were to take the coupon even if the product did not match exactly. To my amazement she also informed me that they would take expired coupons as well.  I was extremely skeptical about this but decided to try it out a few times. Guess what? All of my coupons worked.

• For example Today I used a $5.00 coupon that expired on 7/30/09 it didn't beep.
• (The cashier looked at the expiration date and commented that she had been waiting to see if an expired coupon would work)

• Last week I used the Special K Chocolate pretzel granola bar coupon on the Special K Blueberry bars. (With no problem)

• So I thought I would really put the the coupon to the test and I used an expired Blueberry pop tart coupon on a Brown sugar and cinnamon pop tart. It took it with no problem at all. 

This was three different transactions with three different cashiers.  I guess Target really is trying to win over their customers. Way to go Target!
