Another Great Rebate

http://www.greattastebigsavings.com
Another $5 rebate!

Recent Rebates

Here are two really good recent rebates that I found...

First is the SCJohnson rebate. You can do up to 3 $5 back rebates. This is great, because I buy a lot of these products.

And the second is from Real Simple magazine. Here is the link:

And as always Caregiver Marketplace will give you rebates for all those Huggies diapers you buy...

Harris Teeter Triples

Rumor has it on Hot Coupon World and the Domestic Goddess page on Charlotte Mommies that Harris Teeter will be tripling coupons starting Wednesday for the entire week. They will triple any manufacturer's coupon up to $.99 in face value. The ad is posted at Hot Coupon World in the Harris Teeter forum.

Bloom Super Doubles

They start this Wednesday, October 28th and will be all week. What a nice Halloween gift from Bloom! Remember it is all coupons up to $1.98 face value that will be doubled.

Harris Teeter Super Doubles...

... have been postponed. I will let all know when I hear about them happening again. There is talk of next week, but my understanding is that there will be NO Harris Teeter Super Doubles this week ;0(

Super Duper Doubles

If you are near Bloom head out to Super Doubles tomorrow or Tuesday and if that doesn't work Harris Teeter will pick up with Super Doubles for the next week (Sept 30th-October 6th). Remember all coupons with a face value up to $1.98 will double. I don't know what is on sale at the Teeter yet, but Bloom has Gordon's fish BOGO ($1/2 out there), Smart Balance is BOGO ($1.50 coupon out there) and some other good stuff--

TRIPLES

Harris Teeter will be tripling coupons with a face value of $.99 and under starting this Wednesday morning at 7am. So, get your coupons ready and let's begin!

It has been a while

Sorry it has been so long everyone. I have had a very busy summer. Just wanted to let you know of two deals that are going on right now. One-- Bloom superdoubles-- they will double any coupon up to $1.98 face value for the next week. There are some good deals to be had there. And uddercovers is having another promotion. The details are below. Thanks to Jenny Pierce from Charlottemommies for giving us this heads up. Have a great day!

Hi friend,
I wanted to say thank you for ordering a nursing cover and let you know that we are now running a limited time promotion for 100% off ALL our covers (patterned and non-patterned)! You can get ANY of our covers for free ~ you just pay the S&H! We know that you support breastfeeding -so if you're not currently nursing, they make great baby shower and Holiday gifts. The promo code is "backorder1". Go to www.uddercovers.com , click on "Shop Now" where it will then display all the nursing covers we offer as well as other products and sets. Select the product you would like and you will automatically be directed to the center of the page where you can enter in the promo code! This backorder promotion will give you a $32.00 discount off your total order no matter what you put in your cart! This promotion code is valid once per transaction so order as many times as you would like. Let all your friends know too! Again, thank you! We could not have offered this discount without your past support!

More Super Doubles

Harris Teeter is doing another week of Super Doubles starting July 22nd according to Hot Coupon World. So, find all your good coupons up to $1.98 face value and they will double them. No matchups yet... But maybe I can find something. Just keep checking back.

Nursing Cover

https://www.uddercovers.com/index1.php

One free nursing cover while supplies last.

Once you get to the site click on "Shop Now" it will ask you for the promotional code. Type in "family" and it will pull up the ones available. They only have blue and pink ones left-- good luck.

Clarification

Just to clarify Super Doubles at Harris Teeter will be next week June 24th-June 30th and they will be doubling any manufacturers (did I spell that right?) coupon with a face value up to $1.98. So, get out your $1, $1.25 and $1.50 coupons because those will double for the week.

And Bloom will be having triples June 24th-June 30th also.

Rumor has it...

Rumor has it that Bloom will be doing triples the 26th-28th of June and there are even some rumors of a week of triples to correspond with Harris Teeter's week of super doubles! I am soooo excited! I know, I know it doesn't take much! ;0) I will post when it is confirmed.

Super Doubles

In the Grocery Store wars triples seems to be out for the rest of this month :0( There is hope for next month, because Food Lion is doing a dry run for triples in some of it's Virginia stores, so hopefully (keep your fingers crossed) we will see some more triples offered next month. Harris Teeter, however, is offering Super Doubles up to $1.98 June 24th- 30th. Is this better than triples? I don't know, but for now it seems pretty cool. Same rules apply as with triples, but now you cannot go to more than one store per day. They fixed it in their system that you can only do one trip per day with your VIC card. So, get your coupons together and get ready to save!

Pamper deal gone!

Have you done the CVS Pampers deal that everyone is posting about? Well, if you didn't print the page off the CVS website yesterday you may be out of luck, because they have changed their Pampers page and it no longer reads "get $5 Extra bucks back." I did the deal this morning twice, so I got each pack of Pampers for $1.99 with my $2 off coupon.

Oh well! If you are still wanting a deal just go over to Old Navy where all men's clothing is 50% off for Father's Day. They have $5 off $50, $15 off $75 and $20 off $100 coupons on the site just move around the site a little and see what you get!

Old Navy

50% off any orange tag merchandise right now at Old Navy! Go while the getting is good! Also on May 30th (this Saturday) Men and Women's Graphic Tees are $3-- limit 5 per person-- regularly $5-$19.50!!! I will have to find out if they are opening early like last week. Happy Shopping!

TRIPLES

I have been meaning to post for the last few days... Ahhh, so much to do!!! But, Wednesday is Harris Teeter triples. I hope you can all find some wonderful deals! Let me know if I can be of assistance and have a great Monday!!!!

$1 Flip Flops

Solid colored flip flops will be $1 tomorrow at Old Navy while supplies last... So, get there early and get some beach wear cheap!!! I think it is limit 5 per customer.

Grocery Deals

Bi-Lo, Harris Teeter and Lowes are going nuts on the Buy One Get One Frees this week and you can definitely find some great deals by just doubling your coupons.

Some great Bi-Lo deals:
eggs $.69 for a dozen - limit 2
Coke 12 pack 4/$11.88 with a $2 instasave coupon back
watermelons $3.88
Ballpark franks BOGO $1 off 2 coupon

Hefty cups BOGO $.75 off coupon 5/17

Just to name a few!

Harris Teeter is having a weekend special Friday through Monday in addition to their other sales...

whole beef tenderloin $7.99 per lb
asparagus $.99 per lb
split chicken breast $.99 per lb
Harris Teeter butter $1.97
Coke products BOGO

4 Inserts!!!

Don't forget it is a 4 insert week! Just leave me some papers!

Lowes Deal

Friday through Sunday you can get an extra $5 off $50, $10 off $100 or $15 off $150 or more in addition to your instasave savings (I need to learn how to direct you to other posts by just clicking on to my word instasave).

So, get $50 worth of food before coupons and you can save $15 automatically... Here are some things you can buy that we have recent coupons for...
French's Mustard $.75 from 5/10
Colgate $.75 from 4/26 SS
Trident $.75 from 5/10 SS (I already used mine ;0)
Kraft BBQ sauce $.75 5/3
Sargento Cheese coupons
Ragu Pasta Sauce 3 for $4.98 with $.30 coupons
Selected General Mills cereals 2/$5 with coupons from $.55 to $.75
Kraft Salad Dressing $1.50 off one from 5/10
Daisy Sour Cream with $.50 coupon

I am sure there is more, but I have to go get my daughter off the bus... Let me know what you find!!

UPDATE-- They will take off instasave coupons before they will put the $5 off $50 through... So, you have to spend $60 and then you get $10 off and then $5 off... Hmmm can you make it a good deal? I will have to think it through. If I can find enough free stuff it could be a really good deal.

Oh yeah!

Went to Lowes today and used my Instasave-- It rocked! I bought a rack of pork baby back ribs, a package of ground turkey meat, 3 bottles of Kraft BBQ sauce, 4 bottles of French's mustard, 4 bottles of Texas Pete, 4 packs of Trident gum, 2 pounds of strawberries, 4 loaves of Nature's Pride bread (the hearty expensive kind) and 3 1/2 gallons of Breyer's ice cream. AND I paid $15.64!!!! I love couponing and saving money!

Get Ready for more Triples

Bloom triples this Friday, Saturday and Sunday!!!! Here is the ad link at hotcouponworld.com http://www.hotcouponworld.com/forums/bloom/240708-bloom-triples-ad-may15-17-a.html
Thank you to all the ladies there for their hard work in writing the ad up!

Mac and Cheese Please

At Bi-Lo this week if you buy 6 boxes of Kraft macaroni and cheese you will pay $3 (at 2 for a $1) and get a coupon back for $2 off your next purchase at Bi-Lo. So, 6 boxes for a buck. You can do the deal as many times as you would like, but remember that you will probably not get a $2 off coupon if you use a $2 off coupon. Most of those deals work that way.

And if that isn't enough mac and cheese for you-- Harris Teeter has Velveeta cups for $1 each. If you buy any 3 selected Kraft products you save $3 automatically off your receipt, so 3 cups for free! You can do the deal as many times as you like, but they run out pretty quickly. So, enjoy the mac and cheese!

Lowes Instasaver

I just signed up for the Lowes easy saver program and I have to say-- why didn't I do this sooner?? I went to the website filled in my information and was able to sign up for coupons that will automatically deducted from my bill when it comes time to pay. The coolest one is an automatic $10 off $50 before coupons. So, sign up and see if you can get to $50 and coupon your way back down to nothing! Thanks to the ladies at Charlottemommies and Coupon Queens of Laurel Run for their tips on this program!

Rainchecks 101

Rainchecks are a great way to save money on products that are on sale. When a store runs out of an item that is on sale you can get a raincheck on that product to purchase in the future. Target does not do rainchecks on many items, but most other stores do.

An example of savings with a raincheck would be from Harris Teeter. Two weeks ago Harris Teeter had their frozen chicken breasts on sale Buy 1 Get 2 Free. In case you didn't know HT raises the prices of many items before they put them on sale for Buy 1 Get 1 Free or Buy 2 Get 3 Free or Buy 1 Get 2 Free. This is the case with their frozen chicken. During B1G2 sales the chicken is $9.99, but if you get a raincheck you can get the chicken for $7.99 a bag, saving you $2 for every 3 bags of chicken. You can also save money buy using your rainchecks at triples--making something free at triples that otherwise would not be.

The best time to find stores low on merchandise is in the evenings (especially on weekends) after they have had shoppers all day and before the trucks come in to replinish their supplies. But, you also have to go early enough that the Customer Service desk is still open and you can get a raincheck. Drugstores have rainchecks behind the counters, so that is not an issue. CVS will now issue rainchecks that include ecbs and the sale price something that Walgreens can't do with their Register Rewards. When in doubt about a raincheck-- ASK. Stores want to get you in their stores, so be polite, friendly and ask.

Keep your rainchecks--most stores' rainchecks are good indefinitely, but once again ask. Also keep in mind you can't get a raincheck on using coupons for triples. If you have a coupon you want to triple and they are out of that item they will not triple it in the future if triples is over. You are just out of luck.

So, good luck and happy rainchecking...

Matchups

Here are some matchups for Harris Teeter starting tomorrow for triples. I went to my store last night and they were out of Skippy 28 oz peanut butter BOGO ($.40 coupon) and a got raincheck for triples.

Here is the link to the matchups from HotCouponWorld. I don't take the credit ;0)

Walgreens Rant

I am sorry it has been so long, but I have been busy with my other job-- finding homes for Foreign Exchange Students. By the way if anyone is so inclined I need hosts for my Chinese Program this summer from July 13th to August 2nd. The students attend school during the week and you can do 1, 2, or 3 weeks depending on your availability. Let me know!

Back to the bargains! Walgreens has some phenomenal bargains this week, so this morning I packed up my 3 little ones and went to get some freebies. They have done away with their Rebate catalog altogether, so now everything is done by Register Rewards-- somewhat like CVS's ecb system. I go into the store and get:
1 Rembrandt mouthwash $5.99 with $5.99 RRs,
1 Rembrandt toothpaste (same as the mouthwash),
2 bottles of Got2Be $10.00 with $5 RRs and 2 $2 off coupons (check my favorite blogs for the coupon),
1 Bayer Glucose Monitor $14.99 with mail in rebate and $5 RRs,
2 Nivea bodywashes for $4.99 with $4.99 RRs,
1 Colgate toothpaste (check the ad-- only specific ones are on sale) $4.49 with $4.49 RRs and 1 pack of Mentos gum.
I then do several transactions, so I can keep the cost to nothing or next to nothing-- here is the flaw in my plan and the system-- They haven't worked the kinks out yet. You see the manufacturer's pay for these coupons and some will give you an RR if you pay with an RR and some won't-- even if it is on a different product from a different company! It is a craps shoot if you will get your RRs if you paid RRs. It is very frustrating for you the customer and the employees. So, I spent 20+ minutes checking out with my 3 children all whining or screaming by the end. Are the deals worth it? I am not sure. All I can say is that I hope Walgreens fixes the system.

Walmart Great Deals

I am not an avid Walmart shopper. It is not as close to my house as Target and I just prefer Target to be honest, but I found some great deals there today.

The Airwick Freshomatic minis, Glade Sense and Spray and Glade Fans are on sale for $5 this week. With the coupons for $4 from the paper a couple weeks back all were a $1.

Huggies portable 16 count wipe containers (reuseable) were $1.25-- use $1 off any Huggies bath and body product and they were $.25 each.

Johnson's Buddies easy grip Sudzing Bar was $.97 with $1 off any Johnson product coupon it was a $.03 moneymaker.

Kashi waffles were $2.44 with $1.50 off coupon from http://www.coupons.com/ =$.94 (for my health conscience husband-- not me ;0)

I am sure there were more great coupon deals, but I had all three kids in tow and the 4 year old is not feeling well, so I left at that point!

Extra Cash?!

I found information about this site on Charlottemommies.com. I am cheap and always looking for ways to make a little cash, so I tried it. It seems many of the other ladies in the area are giving it a try also, and it seems like a legitimate way to make a couple bucks for 10 minutes of time. The website is www.youdata.com and you are just checking out ads and websites. I made $2.60 for about 5 minutes of looking at various ads. They deposit the money you make in your paypal account every Friday. I did Expo for a time and it was great, so maybe I can try this for a while and have money to buy coupons off ebay ;0) If you decide to sign up use me as a referral and I get a buck!

Here are some freebies I have found in the past few days. Get them while the getting is good!!!

www.gillette.com-- free Gillette razor

The Magic Jack

My husband and I have used Vonage (VoIP) for his business phone line for the past four years and have had little problems. The phone line costs $46.23 with taxes, but we have unlimited long distance calling. We thought that was a pretty good deal and had to have the line for work purposes. Well, we have since discovered the Magic Jack.

I was very hesitant to change our service, but it has a money back guarantee and seemed legitimate, so we decided to give it a try. It costs $39.99 to buy the Magic Jack which includes the first year of service. It is only $20.00 a YEAR after that- without all the ridiculous added monthly taxes and fees you get with standard phone service. If you're spending $30-$40 per month for your phone, you can quickly see how much money you can save on annual basis.

Like our previous Vonage service, We have unlimited long distance if you have a high speed internet connection. The Magic Jack works on any computer, so if we go anywhere that has a high speed connection we can take it with us. The setup is very simple. Plug one end of the Magic Jack into a USB port on your computer, and plug a normal phone into the other. Truly idiot proof. You can choose a local phone number and you get voice mail with call waiting. The voice mails are recorded in .wav files that you receive via an instant email. Obviously you can't use it if the computer is off or the internet is down, but otherwise it is a great service. Check it out at http://www.magicjack.com/1/index.asp. There are short video tutorials to show you all about it. They're a little cheesy, but are accurate in the portrayal of the product.

I highly recommend the service!!!

Rules for Bloom Triples

Bloom does not limit how many of one coupon you can use like HT does. But, I wouldn't buy 8 of the same item at one time. They are stricter about IPs than HT and the Regent Park Bloom will not accept Smart Source IPs-- only IPs with the scissors on them. They also say one trip per day and 20 coupons per day. So, have fun and get some great deals! I will have to post more later-- sick kid!

Whoo Hoo Triples

This week got a little sweeter-- Bloom is going to do triples on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Get ready ladies!!! I will try to have some match ups later in the week.

Great websites

In my search for the best deals I have found some great websites along the way that help me find tons of freebies and good deals. I have listed many of these websites on my sidebar. All are free to join, so look to see if they work for you. Coupon Queens of Laurel Run has all the deals already posted for next week at Rite Aid, Walgreens and CVS.
If you need more of a certain coupon try buying more at couponclippers.com or ebay. Taylortownpreview.com usually has a listing of what coupons are coming out in the upcoming Sunday paper-- she usually posts Thursday or Friday. She also sells coupons. Hotcouponworld.com does it all-- It has something about just about every drugstore and grocery store in the country. You do have to join, but it is free and a great site for finding match-ups and hidden deals.
My favorite site is charlottemommies.com-- the Domestic Goddess forum. You can only join if you currently live in Charlotte or plan on moving here, but they have other mommy networking sites throughout the country. Check what is available in your area.
Email or tell me (in the comment section) what your favorite sites are!

Get these deals before they end!

I wanted to post a few deals before they end on Saturday.
Rite Aid--
I posted about the John Frieda products last night. You can also get blink Tears-- eye drops free with the Single Check Rebate at the end of the month. They also had a coupon in this week's circular for Colgate toothpaste and toothbrushes for $.99 (you have to use their coupon). I believe there is also a coupon out for $.75 off Colgate toothpaste and toothbrushes-- I used my coupons at triples so I can't remember how much it is for ;0)

CVS--
They have a lot of deals on lotions and stuff this week... I focus mainly on the free or almost free items. They had some freebies if you shopped on Sunday or Monday and they will have some more freebies on Easter Sunday and Monday-- which I will post on tomorrow. Colgate MaxWhite or Colgate MaxFresh are $.99 after extra bucks ($2.99 with $2 ebcs). Same as above with the Colgate coupon. And Skintimate moisturizing cream shave 6oz is free with ebcs ($3.49 with $3.49 in ebcs).

Couponing 101

I recently taught a couponing class at church and neglected to teach the basics of couponing which confused some of the ladies present, so here is a little couponing 101 for anyone new to the bargain world.

Many supermarkets will double internet (IP) and manufacter's coupons up to $.99 in value. If the face value of the coupon is over $1 most will not double the coupon. Supermarkets that will double all manufacturer's coupons up to $.99 are: BiLo, Lowe's and Harris Teeter. Bloom and Food Lion do not double coupons. Each store has restrictions on their doubling policies and you can go to their websites to find their particuliar coupon policies.

Triples is when the supermarket will triple any manufacturer's or IP coupon. Most recently Bloom and Harris Teeter have been having triple wars competing for customers. During triples the same rules apply to the store's couponing policy as they do for doubles, but they will triple any manufacturer's coupon or IP. Some stores have become more strict about accepting IPs or certain IPs. Bloom for example will only accept IPs with the scissors on the coupon. Harris Teeter will only accept 2 IPs on the same or like item.

How I find my deals...
I check the flyers for the different grocery, drug and big box stores and look on different forums. I will try to have some match-ups on this site weekly, so you can find the deals that I think are GREAT. But, remember that what I think is a good deal may not work for your family, so get the flyers and give it a go for yourself. Each Sunday CVS, Rite Aid and Walgreens begin their deals for the week. CVS and Walgreens always have a circular in the Sunday paper. Rite Aid's circular will be in the paper if it is delivered to your home, but if you get it from a store or out of a box there will not be a Rite Aid circular. You can also find all the weekly circulars and monthly rebate books at the store itself. I will explain the CVS extracare card and rebates from Rite Aid and Walgreens in another post.

Target and Walmart also start their sales on Sunday. They each have circulars in the Sunday paper, but not in the store (or that I have found). Someone correct me if I am wrong.

The grocery stores (Harris Teeter, Lowes, BiLo, Bloom and Food Lion) do their sales from Wednesday to Tuesday. They have circulars in the Wednesday morning paper. Bloom and Food Lion send out their circulars via the mail on Tuesdays and BiLo and Lowes send theirs out on Wednesdays. All of the grocery stores above will send you updates to their circulars via email and you can find the circulars themselves in their respective stores.

Where I get my coupons...
The Sunday paper is the biggest place I get my coupons. Remember this week there will NOT be any coupons in the paper because it is a holiday. Last week there were 5 coupon inserts in the paper, so I bought 5 papers. You can also buy coupons from the Sunday paper from different sites like ebay or taylortownpreview.com. There are also IP (Internet Printable) coupons that you can find on different sites like couponsuzy.com, coupons.com, coolsavings.com, coupon surfer.com or couponclippers.com. These are just some of the websites that offer coupons and I will list some more over the next few days.

Lastly is where I hear about upcoming deals or deals that I miss in the papers...
I have joined Charlottemommies.com and there is a Domestic Goddess section where many women share what they find and their money saving tips. It is an awesome site for everything mom and I recommend joining if you are in the Charlotte area. They also have sites set up in other cities, so check out if there is a site in your town. Hotcouponworld.com is also a great site for finding where the deals are and what is coming up. There are also other sites, but I will try to list those sites as I go along.

I am happy to have you here for the ride and recommend my site to all your friends!!
