Sureway: Coupon Match Ups

See the new coupon info under Grocery Stores for Sureway's coupon acceptance guidelines.

Here's a list of sale items and coupons to go with them.  Sale starts today (6/1) and ends next Tuesday (6/7).

McCain Frozen Potatoes - 2/$4; use 2 $1 off coupons; Pay $2 for 2 bags!  "Like" McCain on Facebook and you'll be able to print a $1 off coupon!  You'll want to print two copies if your computer will allow it!  I just printed it and was able to get two copies.  http://www.facebook.com/McCainFoods?sk=app_107611949261673

DE Wafelbakker's Pancakes - 2/$5; go to their website and request a coupon!  http://www.dewafelbakkers.com/  You may not get it in time for this week's sale, but you'll have it for next time!

Jolly Time Popcorn - 2/$4; use 50-cent off 1 (5/1 SS); unfortunately Sureway won't double this coupon up to a dollar, so if you're going to Market Place, check the price and you might come out better getting it at MP.  If you do pick these up at Sureway, use two 50-cent coupons and pay $3 for two!  As an added bonus, there is an offer for a free reuseable shopping bag when you purchase 3 jolly time products.  Just checked the Jolly Time website and this offer is still listed!  You can also print coupons from the site!  http://www.jollytime.com/resources/dyn/files/83825/_fn/free_grocery_bag.gif

Libby's Canned Fruit - 4/$5; use $1 off 2 from coupons.com (print 2 copies); pay $3 for 4 cans!

Little Debbie Snack Cakes, Assorted - 4/$5; if Cloud Cakes are included and you were hanging onto the coupon for 75-cents off, this will make for some cheap junk food!  If you have at least 4 (and they will accept all of them) you'll pay $2 for 4 boxes of Cloud Cakes!

Mezzetta Peppers - 2/$3 - 50-cents off 1 (All You magazine Feb & April issues); this coupon is a Do Not Double, so it's a great coupon to use at Sureway!  Use 2 coupons and pay $2 for two jars of Peppers!

Axe Body Spray - $3.99 - B1G1 Free (5/22 RP); I am unsure if Sureway will accept B1G1 coupons!

Eckrich Smoked Sausage - $2.68 - $1 off 2 (5/15 SS); buy 2 and pay $4.36 or $2.18 each!

Bar-S Jumbo Franks - 5/$5 - $1 off 2; http://www.bar-s.com/coupons/  Fill in some information and get a link to print the coupon, print it twice!  Buy 5 use two $1 off coupons and pay $3 for 5 packs of hot dogs!

Land O Frost Deli Sliced Lunchmeat - $1.98 - there is a coupon for 55-cents off the one pound premium package; I do not think these are the ones on sale!  But, if you're there and you have this coupon, check the price of the one pound premium packs!

Fast Fixins Nugget, Patties, or Strips - 2/$10 - sign up at http://www.fastfixin.com/fanatics.php for a coupon.  I didn't sign up so I am not sure what the coupon will be for.  I'm guessing it is for $1 off, so be sure to print two copies!

Johnsonville Italian Sausage - $3.98 - 55-cents off 1 (5/1 SS)

Way to go Sureway!  That's a total of 11 available coupons to use!

Thanks again, and happy couponing!

Market Place: Coupon Match Ups

Here's a list of sale items and coupons to go with them.  Sale starts today (6/1) and ends next Tuesday (6/7).

Ragu Pasta Sauce - $1.47; use 75-cents off 2 (5/22 RP); pay $2.19 for 2 jars

Little Debbie Snack Cakes, Assorted - $1.00; if Cloud Cakes are included and you were hanging onto the coupon for 75-cents off, this will make for some cheap junk food!  After coupon you'd pay only a 25-cents a box!  FYI: a buck is cheap and today is the first, if this is on your shopping list, I'd wait until next Monday to try and stock up on these.  And remember that Market Place will only allow you to use THREE of the same coupon each day.  So, if you were able to print several Cloud Cake coupons, be sure to take several people with you to help your transactions go smoothly!

General Mills Cereal, Assorted - 4/$10; $1 off 2 printable on coupons.com today!  You should be able to print two copies.  Buy 4 boxes, use 2 coupons and pay $8 for 4 boxes of cereal (or $2 a box!). 

And those are the only items I see with coupons to pair up!  With sales like this, we'll never be on Extreme Couponing!

Thanks again, and happy couponing!

New Coupons.com Coupons Start Today

If you print coupons from the internet, be sure to keep an eye on coupons.com.  The new coupons have started arriving and disappearing!  The Libby's vegetable coupon tells me "print limit reached" even though I haven't printed it yet.  So, I am going to keep a close watch in case it becomes available again. 

The printed coupons usually have a 30 day expiration date, so keep that in mind if you don't think you'll use the coupon before the month ends.  If you wait until later in the month you'll get a later expiration date, but you do risk not catching the coupon before it disappears.  In the long run, you've saved yourself printer ink if you miss out on the coupon rather than letting it expire!

Thanks again, and happy couponing!

Food Giant & Sureway: Change for a Change

I don't usually browse the ads for Food Giant or Sureway too closely, but since I am making a Change for a Change list, I really tried to pour over it this morning!  And I am happy to see that there are several canned food items on sale this week!  Sales start today and end next Tuesday giving us plenty of time to get out and shop!

Please note:  There is reportedly a coupon for Libby's canned veggies on coupons.com, but it tells me the print limit has been reached.  I was able to print the Libby's fruit coupon which works on the canned varieties.  However!  Food Giant doesn't accept internet printed coupons.  I am not familiar with Sureways coupon policy, at the moment.  So I am making my list without coupons!

Buy 4 Green Giant Vegetables at 2/$1.  Total = $2.00

Buy 2 Showboat Pork & Beans at 68-cents each.  Total = $1.36

Pay $3.36!

If you can get the Libby's vegetable coupon....the Jumbo cans are on sale 4/$5.  If your store accepts the printed coupon, you could get vegetables for a good price this week!  OR!  You can take your ad & your printed coupons to Walmart and try price matching.  My Walmart couponing experiences are all over the place lately, so I recommend bringing the ad with you when price matching and keeping your fingers crossed!

Thanks again, and happy couponing!

Market Place: Change for a Change

Unfortunately, I only see a couple sale items with available coupons in the Market Place ad starting today.  So, pick up these three items for your donations stockpile!  And be sure to check those expiration dates before you buy!

Buy 2 Ragu Pasta Sauces ($1.47) use the 75-cent off 2 coupon (5/22 RP); donate one jar and keep the other for yourself.  Total = $1.10

Buy 1 Dial Soap 2-pack ($1.00).  Total = $1.00***

Buy 1 Joy or Dawn Dishsoap ($0.98).  Total = $0.98

Pay $3.08 plus tax!

(I suspect that canned vegetables are probably on sale....Sureway and Food Giant ads both have them featured in the weekly ad....Imagine how much you could donate if you only picked up one canned food item each trip to the grocery store?)

Thanks again, and happy couponing!

***There isn't currently a coupon for Dial products, but keep an eye on your Sunday papers.  A coupon for 35-cents off Dial was available earlier this year and coupons have a habit of coming back around.  If it comes back and it will double, that would make your $1 box of soap only 30-cents after coupon!

Buying Soda Pop In Hopkins County This Week?

If you're buying soda pop this week, the best deal is at Kroger.  The weekly ad features Coke, Pepsi, and RC products at 4/$10.  CVS has a similarly good deal on Pepsi products at 4/$13 and get back a $3 Extra Care Buck.  Both Kroger and CVS prices are good through Saturday, June 4th.

Thanks again, and happy couponing!

Save $1.00 On Any Pack Of Rayovac Alkaine Batteries

This coupon was available a couples months ago, and it has reset and can be printed again!  I printed these the first time around and got free 4-pack batteries at Walmart.  I had to do some searching for the $0.97 packs, and found them in the check out line instead of with the battery display.  Thanks to MoJo Savings for including this coupon link in her email today!  With kids in the house, it seems like you can never have too many AA batteries!  The expiration date is 7/29/2011 so that should give you plenty of time to find them!

http://www.facebook.com/Rayovac?sk=app_217257571634557

FYI:  It took a little time for the coupons to load onto the screen....may have just been my slow-mo computer, though!  Also, you may have to click "Rayovac Coupons" on the left hand side.
Thanks again, and happy couponing!

I'm So Happy! Got My First Blog Email!

Ok, ok, this post has nothing to do with couponing, but I just checked my "regular" email and I had gotten the first email from The Hopkins County Couponer!  I know it's an email from the posts I made, but I am seriously on cloud nine right at this moment!  Yay me!

Thanks again, and happy couponing!

Print your CVS Extra Care Bucks!

Thankyou MoJo Savings for this great tip in my email yesterday!

Log into your CVS account and you can view and PRINT any useable ECBs you have.  This is great to know because I tend to make a stack of my receipts under my computer monitor; I call it the "deal with it later pile".  And it just so happens that I had a $1 ECB that I had forgotten about until I sorted the pile!  If I had checked my CVS Extracare account before my shopping trip Sunday morning, I could have saved an additional $1!  Plus, this is good news because if you're like me and you toss your receipt into your shopping bag with the milk, you're receipt isn't much use anymore after it gets wet.

Thanks again, and happy couponing!

My Walgreens Trip This Week

Here's a pic of the items I purchased at Walgreens this week.  My out of pocket total was $10.24 after coupons, rolling rewards, and taxes; and $4.50 in rewards from last week.  Plus, I still have the $5 reward from the Degree purchase.  I did these transaction on two separate days, so I wasn't able to roll that $5 reward getting me a lower out of pocket.  And, really, that's the way to shop!  You want your Out Of Pocket as low as you can get it!  Notice that I did not pick up any of those "free" after reward items featured in the ad.  I skipped those for a few reasons.  1. My family doesn't use any of them.  2. I didn't want to fight the crowd to get them.  3. I didn't want to increase my already abundant stockpile of stuff.

Here's what I purchased:  4-Degree Deodorant ($5.50 w/ $5.00 reward); 4-Right Guard Deodorant (Free after BOGO sale & coupon!); 2-Orbit Gum ($1.38); 1-Ritz Cracker (Free after reward!); 3-Arizona Tea ($5.97); Taxes ($1.89); and I had $4.50 in rewards to use from last week making my grand Out Of Pocket Total a mere $10.24.  If I did not have coupons or rewards to use, I would have paid over $32.81! (The tea was part of the two-day sale and I forgot to check the before sale price!)  I had a coupon for Ritz Crackers and had planned on stopping in at Kmart for them, but the sale was better at Walgreens....they just had one lonely box, so I wasn't able to use my coupon for $1 off 2.

So, how do you think I did?  Thanks, and happy couponing!
