Saving My Nickels

Mount Olive Kosher Pickels - 2/$5

Near East Spanish Rice - 2/$4

Well, hello there!

2010-09-16T13:12:00.000-05:00

I'm back!

As you may recall my family and I moved halfway across the country to New York City. Astoria (Queens) to be more exact.

I truly have not been couponing recently for a few reasons:

Time. Getting a house settled, having guests, traveling and getting to know the neighborhood has taken most of mine. Now, 3 months later we are now settling into a routine and I am learning my local stores.
No one coupons around here! Seriously. The grocery store across the street won't take internet printables and the other just recently started. Sometimes they look at me like I'm crazy.
Change in diet. While we often had fresh fruit/veggies in the house, meats, and "grocery store perimeter" items, we also had a ton of boxed stuff. I am getting my family away from this and choosing healthier items - even if they cost more and aren't on sale. Choosing more all natural and organic items and less processed. I wanted to get out of this rut back in MN, but had a hard time with limited choices available....and our very limited income.

So, life is settling - I know our stores, we are getting a routine and our budget worked out - and with that my couponing has once again picked up! It's exciting to see how much I can save. I don't get a paper here with coupons in it, but we get a little flyer with some, and I've turned to mainly internet printables. I'm shopping the sales and planning meals around them.

What to look forward to in this blog? I will be writing out my grocery/drug store choices each week - it will highlight some of the best sales from Key Food, Trade Fair, CVS, and the local organic store. My budget each week is $100. That may seem like a lot, but it's not for our area. From those lists I will be making my meal plans. I will also be highlighting coupons for organic and all natural food that I find. Occasionally there might be some Target deals thrown into the mix if we adventure in that direction....it's not close to our house, so it's about a once a month excursion now. Same with Whole Foods - they and Trader Joe's might pop up from time to time. We'll see!

If you are interested, join me in this adventure! Please share with me your thoughts and opinions and any deals you might find too!

Attention Cash Wise Shoppers

2010-05-28T14:59:00.000-05:00

In case you didn't see the comment in the post below, here is another blog that does Cash Wise match-ups. She does both online and newspaper inserts, so you get it all! Sometimes the Hutchinson ad varies just slightly, but in general it's the same.

Check it out!
www.mommyof3kiddos.blogspot.com

Thank you Tonia for posting it! Such a great resource!

I posted this on my Facebook, but the strawberries at Cash Wise this week are $2, which is a great bargain already. But what makes them even better is that they are DELISH. Seriously good strawberries. Yumm-o!

Family Blog

2010-05-20T22:16:00.000-05:00

Joe and I have had a website since before we got married, but we've never been very good at updating it. We recently decided to make it into a blog for ease. So, if you'd like to follow along with my family's adventure to NYC you can visit us at www.joeandbrook.com

I still haven't figured out what I'm going to do with this one...we'll see what NYC brings us deal-wise!

In 5 Weeks...

2010-05-10T18:51:00.000-05:00

We'll be living in New York City.

Hence the complete absence from my blogging.

Our house finally sold, PRAISE THE LORD! Nearly three years on the market, lowering the price more times than I can count....ahhh, it's been a long road.

We at first were going to stay in Hutchinson....
Then we thought we'd move to Minneapolis....
All the while knowing NYC was where we would eventually end up and be our "landing spot".

Time has disappeared on us and we are just going to make that giant leap from small-town, MN to NYC. Queens to be exact. I am ecstatic to be moving back there!

It's a given we have just a few things going on. We have sold much of our furniture in a recent garage sale (made over $1,000!), and have been downsizing drastically. I've been focused on the move, attempting to still do coupons and deals, but not nearly to the capacity I once was.

I haven't decided what to do with this blog yet. I may continue blogging about deals I find once I am in NYC, but I know life will be different...the nearest Target is just miles away; however, it's a hefty subway ride (we will not have a car)-so it won't be on my "daily errands" list anymore! :) Plus, there are oodles of deal type sites out there already for NYC that I have stumbled across.

Maybe I'll just simply blog about using our money wisely, yet as richly, as we can in NYC. I'm just not sure yet.

So perhaps, I will be back soon. Perhaps it will be 5 weeks (or more) until you hear from me! Thank you for reading.

PS. Currently at Cash Wise the Lunchables are $1.00 and if you buy a certain amount you get a $1.00 off your next shopping order Catalina. I bought 5 Lunchables and that was enough to trigger the coupon. Easy on the go toddler food. Love it.

Rave: Opinion Outpost

2010-03-09T08:42:00.000-06:00

Joe and I have been cutting the budget in every corner we can. After I quit my job we cut our budget by $200 per month...and we were just cut it again - $180 this time - and we are selling our timeshare that we purchased while I was still working. Sigh. But we need that monthly money...as you may or may not know, we are attempting to sell our house in this crazy economy. We have it in our hearts to move back to New York City. We gotta save every penny we can so we can keep the price on the house low. We are still hoping we are able to swing a vacation of some-sort this year, but as time goes on and numbers are crunched and re-crunched, it's becoming painfully obvious it just might not happen. However, at this point selling the house has the ultimate priority.

Anyway, we now have almost $400 less per month to spend on needs/wants than what we did when I was working. Thankfully do to my careful couponing and planning, and both of us just making better choices, we are doing quite well even with the smaller budget. God is good and faithful!!

I have also picked up the pace on attempting to earn any sort of extra cash while at home. We are going to have a HUGE garage sale; selling some things on eBay; books, movies and CDs on half.com; and doing all sorts of survey/point earning sites from my computer at home.

I belong to quite a few reward type sites and I just have to rave about Opinion Outpost. It is a survey site, in general I don't like these because they take too much time for surveys I end up not qualifying for-and when I do qualify I get less than a buck. It just irks me. However...with Opinion Outpost there are still many surveys I don't qualify for...but when I do...the payout is NICE. So far I have qualified for 3 surveys and have already earned $8.80. That's almost $3 per survey! That payout is larger than any other I have been part of/heard. I am LOVING it! Plus you can request a check for CASH or an Amazon gift card at $5.00 or above! It's an excellent, excellent program!!

So, if you are wanting to earn a bit of extra money on the side - I highly recommend Opinion Outpost. If you click through my blog I will earn an extra $2.00 per referral and I thank you tremendously in advance for supporting my family! And even if you don't want to use my referral link, go join - you'll like it! :)

A fairly decent week...I know I have a few random coupons I have printed in the past or picked up along the way that match-up with things - such as the Lean Cuisine meals...so be sure to check your stash on some of the other deals. My favorite buy of the week is the $0.38 Food Club yogurt - I really like their yogurt and eat it every day! I also like the $1.18 Dole Coleslaw. I picked up some cheap Vidalia Onion salad dressing last week (with the at-home mailer coupons) and will use it with this coleslaw mix for a great side dish (thanks to my mother-in-law for the tip on that dressing!)

Target Deals this week

2010-02-16T19:29:00.000-06:00

Henry is still battling being sick, so my life has been a tad on the disorganized side lately. I have been to Target twice, yet haven't done a serious list of the deals - or looked at one online! However, between the two trips I have scoped out a few things.

Glade Scented Oil Candles are 3/$5, that is $1.66 each.
Some of the tins have $1.50 coupons in them, the lid comes right off. OR check your stash, there have been tons of these coupons in the past - you might have something. I was able to score 3 tins and a glass candle holder from the Scented Oil line (on clearance for $2.04) for a total of $2.04 due to coupons I had. Trista has also emailed me saying the Glade Plug-Ins are included on this, use the various coupons from the January 24th Smart Source insert.

Kellogg's items on sale for $2.50 or less, buy 5 get a $5 gift card. I saw Pop Tarts, NutirGrain Bars and Special K items.
02-07 RP    Kelloggs Nutrigrain Cereal Bars 8 ct or larger    $1.00/2
01-03 RP    Kelloggs Special K Cereal Bars, Fruit Crisps or Bliss Bars 5 ct or larger    $1.00/2
01-10 RP    Kelloggs Special K Products     TARGET COUPON ONLY    $1.00/2

Keebler items on sale for $2.50 or less, buy 5 get a $5 gift card. I saw Sunshine Cheez-It Crackers and Keebler Cookies.
01-10 RP    Keebler or Sunshine 100 Calorie Right Bites 6 ct or larger    $0.75/1

Huggies Diapers, $16.99. This includes the Pure & Natural line which often has higher value coupons.
There isn't anything currently out there, but check your stash because there have been recent Target.com coupons that you could have printed, along with other printables.

Speaking from experience, the two gift card deals CANNOT be mixed. I didn't realize it was 2 separate things, I had Right Bites, Special K Fruit Crisps and Pop Tarts. Had to return it all, deal with the coupons, etc. with a 2 year old asking me "What are you doing?" 829 times in 5 minutes. :)

$0.50 Toliet Paper at Cash Wise

2010-02-15T08:31:00.000-06:00

Cash Wise has Macal Small Steps 4 pack of toilet paper on clearance for $2.50. Use the $2.00 January 31st Smart Source coupon with this deal, and get 4 rolls for just $0.50!

Thanks for the info Trista!

More Game Coupons

2010-02-15T06:23:00.001-06:00

I noticed the game coupons were pulled off Coupons.com; however, I got an email from Trista with the coupons also being available HERE

You do not need to register for the site, and you should be able to print 2 more of each! This includes the $5.00 off Picuterka! card game, so you can get it for $0.24 at Target. I did this, and even had a manager as my cashier - she honored it because the coupon does not specify.

There are some other good ones on there, like BOGO My Little Pony, $10 off the Tonka Bounce Back Racer and more.

Thanks Trista!

Another Great Coupon Site

2010-02-13T08:02:00.000-06:00

I have known about Box Tops 4 Eduction's website for a while, but due to time that I have to work on all this deal hunting, I have just been putting off joining and exploring the site. However, the $10 coupon book got me to register for it real quick....and what came with that was an email about their online coupons!

Be sure to register for the coupon book and then login to view their online coupons - there are some that match up to current deals at Cash Wise, Econo, Target! Fiber One Bars, General Mills cereal, Hamburger Helper, Chex Mix and more.

And don't forget after you buy the product to collect the Box Tops for your local schools! The money really does add up!

$10 Any Pizza, Any Size and $0.50 wings at Pizza Hut

2010-02-12T17:34:00.001-06:00

Right now at Pizza Hut $10 gets you the pizza you want....any crust, any size, any toppings...including "Lover's" pizzas.

Sounds like a cheap dinner!

It does note that Stuffed Crust is extra (though, in the past we haven't been charged extra 9 times out of 10), and "no double toppings".

And, every Wednesday is "Wings Wednesday." $0.50 for each wing. Every wing, every flavor, every Wednesday.

Cheap, cheap, cheap Oatmeal at Target, ends tomorrow!

2010-02-12T15:32:00.000-06:00

Thanks goes to Trista for the heads-up on this one!

At Target this week various Quaker items are "Buy 5, get a $5 gift card". I had been reading that many Target's included their Instant Oatmeal cups (pictured above) with this deal; however, when I was at the Hutchinson Target they did not have a sign next to the oatmeal cups there...I thought they were not included. Bummer!

After some email correspondence, new reader (and deal hunting friend!) Trista let me in on a secret. When you scan an item at one of the price checker deals in the aisle, it will tell you if it's included in the $5 gift card deal. Regardless if there is a sign or not....turns out the Brown Sugar flavor IS included (but not the Cinnamon Roll flavor...why? I couldn't tell ya!). Again, there is NO sign, but they do ring as part of the gift card deal!

The nitty gritty. They are $1.02 each. You pay $5.10 and get a $5.00 gift card back. That's like paying just $0.10 total, or $0.02 each!

THANK YOU TRISTA!!!!

2010-02-12T09:15:00.000-06:00

I haven't tried this site yet, but I think I think I might should I find something on there I really like. I wonder about the quality...there are a bunch of "testimonials" on the site, but still....makes ya wonder how good this stuff really is.

Well, Friday is payday in this household, so perhaps next week I'll take a gamble. I'll report back on my experience!

Even if you purchase 10 Party Pizzas for $10, you'll only pay $7 after the in-flyer coupon, that's just $0.70 each, which is a great bargain! The Hamburger Helpers are another great deal with the newspaper coupons to stack with. Because Econo does not take internet printables, the deal for the Fiber One bars, cereal, and Fruit Snacks are better at Cash Wise.

Here are a few other decent deals at Econo this week:

$1.00 Chef Boyardee Pasta
01-10 SS    Chef Boyardee can 15 oz or microwave pasta 7.5 oz    $0.35/3

Final Price: $2.65/3, that's $0.88 per can

$2.99 La Choy Dinner Creations
01-17 SS La Choy Creations any variety $1.50/1

Final Price: $1.49

$0.50 Yoplait Yogurt

01-03 GM    Yoplait Yogurt Cups (includes Original, Light , Thick & Creamy or Whips) or any flavor Yoplait Original or Light Smoothie    $0.40/6
02-07 GM    Yoplait Yogurt Cups (includes Original, Light , Thick & Creamy or Whips) or any flavor Yoplait Original or Light Smoothie    $0.40/6
01-03 GM    Yoplait Yogurt Cups (includes Original, Light , Thick & Creamy or Whips) or any flavor Yoplait Original or Light Smoothi    $0.50/8

Final Price: $2.60/6, that's $0.43 each

Remember, Econo does not take regular internet printables, but they DO take THESE for the Our Family brand. Unfortunately, none of the current listed match-up with their sales.

There are other match-ups in the flyer; however, the deal just isn't very good due to the higher prices at Econo. In my opinion, they would truly be a competing store if they accepted internet printables; however, Cash Wise and Target (and probably Wal*Mart too-I don't know them very well) has them beat hands-down on prices. Their regular prices are often lower than Econo's sales. A very big bummer!!

Please let me know if you find anything else, or a great bargain I missed. Perhaps there is another fantastic catalina deal going on!!

Cash Wise Deal

2010-02-09T15:25:00.000-06:00

Cash Wise advertised General Mills Premium Granola Bars on sale this week for $1.98. Problem is, what exactly are "premium granola bars"? Turns out they are Fiber One bars!

I did NOT see the new 90 calorie type included in the sale yesterday.

Here are some matchups for those bars:
01-03 GM General Mills Fiber One Chewy Bars any $0.40/1
01-31 SS General Mills Fiber One Chewy Bars Bars any $0.50/2
$0.40 Printable Coupon HERE
$0.40 Printable Coupon HERE
Final Price as low as $1.58 a box

Plus these are on the "Buy 4 items, get free milk" deal!!

And a small personal story....I was in Target yesterday getting medication for Henry - turns out he has pneumonia as well as RSV. Our insurance card wasn't working-we had the wrong one...long story. So after shopping all over Target with about $30 worth of stuff in my cart, including paper towels and Fiber One bars, I have to pay for the meds out of pocket and get re-imbursed later. Sigh. I only have about $45 with me and the prescription was $30! So, back to the shelves I go, putting everything except diapers and a Matchbox car away. I was NOT happy by the end of that 1.5 hour adventure....

I check the mail on the way home. We have a $16.00 rebate check from Menards. So, now I can buy paper towels and then some.

Later that night I run to Cash Wise to get some milk (and other deals). I see the cheaper-than-Target-Fiber One bars as soon as I walk in the door on a big display.

Funny when things work out that way, doesn't it? God knows better than I do...obviously! I need to learn to keep my cool and roll with it.

Cheap Candy at Target

2010-02-08T06:07:00.000-06:00

Just came across another one as I was preparing my shopping lists...

On Target.com's grocery coupons HERE you will find one for $1.00 off Reese's, Almond Joy, Special Dark, or York Candy Pieces. Stack that with the 1-31 SmartSource for the same product and you are bound to have some cheap, cheap candy! Sounds like a nice treat for the little one!

Target Deal: GE Reveal Light Bulb for $2.99, or less

2010-02-08T05:30:00.001-06:00

I found another deal as I was getting my shopping lists ready...Target is advertising their 60 watt GE Reveal fluorescent light bulb for $5.49 this week.

Use the $1.50 Target coupon HERE and stack with the 1/03 SmartSource $1.00 coupon and you'll pay just $2.99, which is a great deal for these types of light bulbs that cost less to run and last longer.

We have recently done this deal with previous coupons we had, and they have some Reveal bulbs that are much less than $5.49, I believe I paid as low as $0.50 for one of ours recently. So go check it out and stack the coupons to get a great deal!

Econo deals coming EVEN MORE laterz...

2010-02-07T22:49:00.000-06:00

Hey folks, sorry the Econo deals aren't up yet, I full intended to get them done this evening; however.....we ended up in the E.R. My little guy has been battling a cold the past few days and this afternoon took a turn for the worse. I took his temp and it was 104. After a short discussion with my Mom, who has been in nursing for over 35 years, she thought the E.R. would be a good idea.

Turns out, she was right! Mom usually is. :) Henry has RSV. Since he's two, it's more like a really, really bad cold, we have to monitor his fever and just make sure he doesn't get any worse. Whew! The doctor was very, very glad we brought him in though - he said it was the right move, he could have gotten quite a bit worse overnight.

So, I'm drained tonight...Econo deals will get done at some point tomorrow!

Econo deals coming laterz...

2010-02-07T16:23:00.003-06:00

After the 2 ginormous ad match-ups of Cash Wise & Target, my eyes are practically crossed from being at my computer so long! I KNOW there are some Econo deals that I want to share, but they will have to wait! Sorry! My sanity comes first. :) I'll try to get them up later tonight.

Target Coupon Matchups - February 7 - February 13

2010-02-07T16:16:00.002-06:00

Some great deals to be found at Target this week!!

$2.00 Archer Farms Bread, 24 oz

$1.00 Printable Coupon HERE

Final Price: $1.00

15% off selected Archer Farms food and drinks

I don't know the final price on these, but here are the coupons off Target.com that might match up:

$1.00 Printable Coupon HERE for 2 tortilla 8 ct packages

$1.00 Printable Coupon HERE for frozen entree

$1.00 Printable Coupon HERE for pasta and sauce

$1.40 Progresso Soup

Final Price: $1.99

**$5 Target Gift Card wyb 10 selected meals

01-03 SS 1 free Healthy Choice Fresh Mixers Free when you buy three

01-03 SS Healthy Choice Frozen Meals any $1.00/2

$1.00/2 Printable Coupon HERE (frozen meal) you should be able to print 2

**Other Healthy Choice frozen meals (the smaller ones) are on sale for $1.75 where the above coupons would also work, but from past experiences I am guessing the cheaper ones are NOT part of the gift card deal.

Gift Card scenario:

Use the above two manny + 2 printables (better if you can print more on another computer, but let's pretend you don't have access to another computer). That's 4 mixers, 6 entrees. Final Price: $19.50, and you'll get at $5 gift card, so $14.50/10 items, that's $1.45 each. A good deal but really only if you eat these meals often. It's a lot of money to shell out at one grocery stop in my opinion! UNLESS the $1.75 meals ARE included on the gift card deal. Then you've got a nice bargain, at about $1.00 per item after gift card. Plus, these are on sale at Cash Wise for $1.67 this week! Gotta pull out the calculator (unless you like math...) to determine where your better deal is.

$2.75 Quaker Oatmeal Squares, 10 pk oatmeal, and selected others

I had NEVER tried Spam in my life, so I thought "I gotta try it! There is a museum after this stuff!" so I popped a small square into my mouth and the sky went black. My eyes popped out of my head and I recoiled in pain from the horrid flavor that had just attacked my tongue. I RAN for the garbage can and proceeded to rake my tongue with my fingernails in attempts to get the flavor out of my mouth as quickly as possible. Joe and the Spam distributor just laughed and laughed at me. Then they dared to ask what I thought! HA! Needless to say...I won't be taking advantage of this deal no matter how cheap it is!

JCPenny 80% off sales!

2010-02-04T15:45:00.000-06:00

For the next few days you will find 80% off sales at JCPenny! I was in the Cities yesterday and stopped at Ridgedale Mall. I haven't been to Hutch's store...yet...might dip in later tonight to see what there is to see!

I spent $50 and got:

a pair of pants,
a sweater,
2 shirts,
3 long necklaces,
1 pair of earrings,
1 bracelet,
3 shirts for Henry and
2 sweatshirts for Henry

Not too shabby! 14 items, an average of $3.57 each.

Lots of stuff for $2-$4 were on the racks. The best deal would be to go buy something small and cheap and on your cash register receipt take the quick survey to get you another 15% off, which CAN be combined with any sale/coupons they are running. Then go back and stock up, taking advantage of the 80% off + the 15% off coupon!

Also, if you get their mailings, check to see if you got a $10 off of $50 purchase or $15 off a $75 purchase which also can be used during this sale.

Thank you to my friend Julie for the heads-up on the sale and the coupon trick!

Free Orange Julius when you join their club

2010-02-04T07:57:00.001-06:00

I know we don't have an Orange Julius in Hutch (good thing, otherwise I'd have more weight to loose than I already do!); however, as you probably know there is one in the St. Cloud mall.

I used to partake of one of these beauties quite often back before I had bills and other adult things, like a mortgage. They are like $4 a pop!

So a free one? Yes, I'm interested! What a treat this will be next time I'm in St. Cloud!

Click HERE to join their club and they will email you a coupon for a free Julius! (use zip code 56301 to select St. Cloud when prompted)

Menards Rebate Program

2010-02-04T06:15:00.000-06:00

I am beginning to love Menards and their rebate program. Have you heard about it?

If you purchase $10 worth of non-rebate items, there is always an assortment of items (seems to always be over $10 worth) that you can get for free after a mail in rebate.

So, a while back, I went to Menards to purchase something I needed, it was around $12. Then I put quite a few of the items that were free with rebate in my cart and checked out. My total that day was fairly high.

Then I mailed in the rebates. They all went in the same envelope, one stamp...usually they can, because they go to the same address.

Then I got a card back in the mail, a merchandise check for Menards. I used this to purchase another $10 item I needed and stocked up on the free rebate items again.

Repeat.

This week at Menards the following items are free after rebate:
•Below the Bed organizer - $8 - Limit 2
•Terry cloths - $1 - Limit 2
•Circular saw blade - $4 - Limit 2
•6" pliers -$3-Limit 3.
•2-pk paintbrushes -$4 - Limit 2
•Wiper blade -$4-Limit 2.
•6-pk superglue -$2 -Limit 2

THANK YOU!

2010-02-02T09:03:00.001-06:00

A big, huge THANK YOU goes out to those of you who have signed up under me with Swagbucks. I currently have 245 Swagbucks in my account, which is enough for quite a few different things...and I'm just 50 away from the $25 Disney gift card I have been saving for!! I can't believe I am that close already!

Joe and I were just discussing our 2010 Disney vacation yesterday, wondering how in the world we will pay for it all when it seems we are getting hit from left and right with "budget busters"...and our little guy is turning 3, so he will now need a park ticket and not be free at the buffets. I know we have a long time to save yet, and I literally save every nickel I can...we have a jar of change on our counter next to the toaster! And all my rebate money, and earned money online will hopefully go toward our vacation.

This $25 gift card (and anything additional I earn) will help pay for the food we will eat, or park tickets. I know it may seem silly, being its only $25, but this gives me some "Disney hope" that we WILL make it. Maybe just maybe, I will earn two-or even three-by the time our vacation rolls around! (dates aren't yet set in case you are wondering!) :)

Again, thank you, thank you, thank you!! I truly appreciate it!!

If you have any questions about Swagbucks, please don't hesitate to ask. I can share some of hints I have learned over the past months of using it. Or, if you aren't sure what it is, click on one of the links I provided here and learn all about this "search & earn" program. If you choose to sign up through my link, I will earn some extra "bucks" through your earning. (Or click HERE to read my previous post all about it.)

If you are interested, I can post some pictures of our most recent Disney vacation as well!

Diet Coke Chicken Recipe

2010-02-01T18:49:00.000-06:00

As requested, here is my recipe for Diet Coke Chicken.

Ingredients:

1 pound (or so abouts) of boneless, skinless chicken, defrosted
1 can of Diet Coke (or Coke Zero works too)
1 cup of ketchup

Put everything in a skillet. Cook uncovered on medium heat until sauce sticks to the chicken and it's 170 degrees...about 45-50 minutes. Stir/flip the chicken occasionally. You really don't need to watch it too closely! :) (that's why I like cooking this...easy meal to make with a toddler at your feet!). The Diet Coke and ketchup will form a nice mild BBQ sauce. Tastes great with rice!

Even more savings at Cash Wise - Nabisco Crackers

2010-01-31T13:54:00.000-06:00

Okay, I keep going through my emails and finding MORE savings...a good problem to have I suppose! This one is only good for today, Sunday. So, if you want to do this, go shopping NOW. :)

As I mentioned, Cash Wise has Nabisco crackers on sale for $2.00 a box this week.

If you purchase 10 boxes, you can go HERE and fill out a rebate to get $10 back. The cash register receipt MUST have today's date on it and be received by 2/15. Even without coupons, you are then paying a buck a box after rebate.

However, if you do use coupons you'll be getting a very good deal!

Plus I found a printable...$2.00/2 boxes HERE (you should be able to print 2 per computer by using your "back" button).

Here is my bit from yesterday's post with the insert match-ups:
2/$4.00 Nabisco Snack Crackers 5.5-10 oz
12-13 SS    Nabisco Crackers 5 oz -16 oz    $1.00/2
01-24 SS    Nabisco Crackers 6 -16.5 oz    $1.00/1
01-10 SS    Nabisco Ritz Crackerfuls Sandwich Crackers 6 oz any variety    $1.00/1

Final Price will vary, as low as $1.00 a box

If you use ALL the above coupons, including the 2 printables, after the rebate you will have paid $3.00 for 10 boxes of crackers. If you can use more than one computer and get one more printable, you get get it as low as two bucks, that's 20 cents a box!

Another Cash Wise deal

2010-01-31T13:39:00.000-06:00

Turns out yesterday when I did the match-ups for Cash Wise the database I use hadn't been refreshed with the coupons from today's paper (usually they are loaded on Saturday).

A very nice ad this week!! There are several items that require an in-store coupon to get the bargain.

I am not certain if that will be the case this time, I included the stackables just in case. Get ready for some cheap cheese!
