Kroger: 2/5 Change for a Change

I'm never disappointed with Zeal for a Deal's weekly Change for a Change at Kroger.  She does an amazing job with her matchups!  One thing to note for this matchup: the price you pay will be $5.44 and you'll earn a $1.50 catalina coupon to use on another purchase!

Dollar General: Save $5 on Saturday (2/11)

Hooray, we have an upcoming $5 off your $25 purchase at Dollar General!  Stop in this week and grab an inexpensive item, you'll most likely get the coupon on the bottom of your receipt.  Or, head over to the coupon page on the Dollar General website and print one!  What ever you do, don't forget to get your coupon before Saturday!  Plus, there's a new sale ad for this week!

Why do I love this promotion?  It's a win-win.  It's great if you don't have manufacturer's coupons because Dollar General is going to save you $5 off your $25 purchase - great for buying things you don't see coupons for, things like Jif and Mini Hershey Bars!  But, to make the deal even better, Dollar General allows you to use Manufacturer's coupons AND the $5 Dollar General coupon!  Just remember: 1.) Pre-tax total must be $25  2.) Have cashier scan the Dollar General $5 coupon FIRST!  3.) Hand over your manufacturer's coupons and watch your total decrease! 

Kroger: Get a Quarter Back

Wow, I totally overlooked this promotion in the Kroger ad yesterday!  A big THANKYOU to I Heart Kroger for posting a list of Get a Quarter Back participating items!  If my math is functioning this morning, you'll get a $1 catalina coupon for every 4 participating items you purchase.  Then, you can use the catalina coupon just like cash in another transaction!  Catalinas are called coupons, but in this case, it works more like a store gift card made of paper rather than a regular coupon.  I'm going to have to take another peek at the Get a Quarter Back list and add a few (or four) things to my shopping list!

2/5 Coupons: Coke and White Cloud

Sorry, I sat down during the begining of that big football game and started clipping my coupons (courtesy of my father-in-law who doesn't use his coupons!) and I didn't pay attention to which insert and which newspaper it came from, but I was happy to find a $1 off White Cloud coupon in today's paper!  It excludes the 4-roll packs, but I think there is a 6-roll pack that might make a good deal.  I've got it on my shopping list!

Plus, the $2 off Coca Cola products coupon can be found again on the back page of the Metro section of the Louisville Courier!  But, beware, the coupon expires on the 8th so you only have a couple days to use it!  Coke 12-packs are 3/$10 at Kroger this week.  I used this coupon from last week's paper and didn't have any problems!

Hope everyone has had a good weekend!  It's shaping up to be a pretty good week to shop in Hopkins County!

Culinary Crafts: Please Don't See A Shadow

I'm a little behind getting this posted; life sure has been busy here this week!  But, I finally took time to read Leigh's latest post, Don't See A Shadow, and I am 100% on Leigh's side about this weather business.  It can be freezing cold and the sunshine will make it just a bit more bearable. 

Sadly, Mr. Phil did see his shadow and predicts 6 more weeks of winter.  Although, I'm just not too sure how reliable a groundhog is as a weatherman!  Anyone know how often his predictions are right? 

Anyhoo, head over and take a look at this week's recipes!  In case you didn't know, Nutter Butters are my favorite cookies and Rice Krispy treats rate pretty high on my snack-o-metter, too!  You can also read Leigh's column on iSurf News!
