Great deals at Meijer !!!

Meijer has a deal on hanes and levis and kelloggs right now. I made a trip there yesterday just for the Hanes and Kellogg's and discovered the Levi's!

I did them all yesterday.
Here's the deal:

buy 3 hanes items get $10 off instantly.
I bought 3 packs of boys socks for 3.99 each = 11.97 - $10 = $1.97 for 3 pks of socks!!!

1 per order, so i did a 2nd transaction and got mens tshirts 9.99, boys tshirts 7.49 and boys underwear 6.49. Not as good but came to $14 after the deal. DH and DS1 needed tshirts so i bought the underwear to get the $10 off. Would've been $17.50 for just the 2 packs of tshirts!!

I also had 2 50c coupons (doubled) from previous pkgs so that helped by $2!! made the socks free!

It takes off $3.34 per item so if you find an item under $3.34 (i dont think there are any right now, but just in case) you wont get the full $10. That happened to me at back to school time cuz socks were on sale for $2.99.


Levi's deal - buy 2 pair get a $10 off coupon for next time. ( I used it on my 2nd transaction)

Boys levi's are on sale for $12.99! ( but not all sizes were ringing up correctly so make sure you check with someone in that dept to help you out. Miriam at the Tylersville store helped me! )
So 2 pair for $12.99 each - i bought one pair for the name we drew at church and 1 for my son for later.
comes out to be $16 for 2 pair of jeans after i used the $10 towards groceries!!

I didnt check on women's. Men's were $15.99 i think.



buy 4 kelloggs special k or frosted miniwheats original 4/$10and get a free gal of milk. use one of the numerous $1 kelloggs coupons that are out (printables and inserts) and pay $6 for 4 boxes of cereal and a gal of milk.
$1 off any kelloggs. http://bricks.coupons.com/Start.asp?tqnm=rleicwi51825485&bt=wi&o=54149&c=KC&p=UjoFOuwc or here
http://bricks.coupons.com/Install.asp?tqnm=rk2rfdv15818788&bt=wg&o=54131&c=FM&p=UgbauMo1&lp=1

I read that someone was able to print 14!!! dont forget to hit the back button to get more than 1!

There's also an IP for $1 off produce when you buy 2 special k or miniwheats.so i got almost 3lbs of bananas free! they are on sale for 38c/lb! sure beats 48c at kroger!


Pop tarts are on sale for 3/$4 = $1.33 each. I had a 55c off from a recent insert - meijer doubles so i got a box of poptarts for 33c!!!
I also got back a $1 catalina so I will get these again!

kraft mac and cheese are buy3 get 3 ( I think)

daisy sour cream 8 oz is $1.18. There was a recent 50c doubled makes 18c for sourcream!

kashi and kelloggs waffles are 4/$10
i had a $2/1 kashi coupon from a recent store demo that was going on - there are printables for the cereal bars but sorry, i dont know of any other coupons for these.
Still, if you need them it is a good sale. DH will only eat kelloggs waffles.

juicy juice is on sale for $2.39 which a better price than most places, i think it is 2.74 at my kroger
there are $1 off on the juicy juice site http://www.verybestkids.com/ You can print two hitting your back button

McCains frozen items are $2.59 each ( kroger is $3.19!!!) plus 50c off if you buy two.
MY kids like the smiley face fries and the sweet potato fries. so i got both for $4.59. No coupons boo hoo! but i only get these when they are on sale or i have a coupon so this is a treat. DS1 just asked me the other day if we could have cheeseburgers and orange fries for dinner on friday LOL

Kraft IWS Amer cheese is on sale for $2.89 for the 24 pk ( reg $4.69 eek! that's crazy!) Use the 50c off 1 from a recent insert and get them for $1.89!

lifesavers bags are on sale for 99c. I had a $1 coupon i have been hanging onto forever from an insert (august probably) so i got a free bag of wildberry gummies. mmmm a free treat for me! LOL

hope this post has helped someone!

Super double coupons at Kmart this week! select areas

Check http://www.kmart.com/ and put in your zip code to view your local ad.

Looks like most stores in SW OH are participating including Middletown, Springboro and Fairfield.

This means that coupons up to $2 are DOUBLED! That's right DOUBLED! woo hoo!

Anything over $2 and under $4 will be $4. ( a $3 coupon would become $4, etc)



Bargain Briana has some matchups with coupons here http://bargainbriana.com/2008/11/kmart-super-doubles-1130-to-126/
and a list of rules.
For example, they dont take internet coupons.


Last time i went to this I got $139 in products for $37!
WOO HOO!!!

good luck.
and let me know if you go and what you got!
I will probably go tomorrow.

Just got the Big Lots ad for Thanksgiving

It may be old news to the Thanksgiving sale stalkers LOL but I got this in my email today:

Big Lots sale Thurs, Fri, Sat
Open 7am-8pm Thanksgiving day

The only thing I am excited about is the vacuum

$35 for a "factory reconditioned" Eureka altima
My vacuum is a piece of junk - i just hot glued it back together last week! Am I a cheapskate or what?

Electronic 20Q games for only $5

DVD / VCR combos for $35

A few other items, but shop before 11am and spend $50+ and get a $10 certificate for your next trip. It doesnt say what the minimum purchase is on the next trip in the fine print, so I am guessing there may not be a minimum. I hope! Valid Nov 30- Dec 13.



Happy Saving!

Which charity?

SO I have been CVS'ing, etc all year. I started in January.



I have accumulated so much STUFF. It takes up one filing cabinet, 2 crates and 3 shelves of a large bookcase in my office and a medium sized rubbermaid container and the floor in a closet. And that doesnt even include food, candy, and laundry stuff! :o



Anyway, I really want to make a difference with all of this stuff I have a surplus of. ( Bad grammar, i know) I jokingly call myself the CVS missionary LOL



I donated a huge amount to a mission trip back in the summer and i have nearly replenished that stock!



So, who needs it the most? Where will I make the most difference?
Which will convey charity to my children the best?

the Operation Christmas child shoeboxes?

the local freestore/food bank?

church missions?

Some to each one?

Somewhere else?


I dont want to put off deciding and then it is Dec 24th and i am too late. ugh!

I have been collecting the Johnson and Johnson buddy bars with the Kroger deal ( i am up to 52!) and kids toothbrushes to give to my son's preschool. They have the neatest thing called the backpack program where families ( who want to be included) who need a little extra help are sent home items in their child's backpack over the weekend. Items like granola bars, juice boxes, fruit cups, toiletries, etc. The backpack thing is very discreet and the distributor puts the items in his/her backpack when the kids are outside or at the library or whatever. Isnt that awesome?! It just warms my heart! In our school district, i never would have guessed that there were truly needy families. Just goes to show that you never know what your neighbor needs. ( i dont mean that to sound snobby, it isnt. We live in the scummy section of town LOL)





I know I really need to pray about this, but I really am a terrible decision maker. I believe that I have such little confdidence in my own decisions that God has to use other people to speak to me LOL



Anyway, anyone have any suggestions? What do you plan to do to help the less fortunate this holiday season?

thanks for the ideas!

Great way to earn giftcards & print more coupons!

Have you heard of MyPoints? http://www.mypoints.com/

I have been a member of MyPoints for YEARS!

If you dont know about it, please send me a message and I would LOVE to send you a referral link. :) ( I can earn points that way, but after all, I am referring you, right?)

Anyway, it is a cool way to earn free stuff just for reading emails and clicking through, answering surveys or shopping through their site. This one is totally legit and it is so easy. I dont get into giving away all of my personal information to get free stuff. This place has been around for a very long time and I have never had a problem with it.

I used to be very religious about clicking on the emails they send me and I would regularly earn enough points for $10 giftcards to Red Lobster, gas stations, etc... but lately i have really slacked off on responding to the emails because my "junk" email is so inundated with junk email! LOL

Well, I realized that over the year, since i havent redeemed any points, i have enough for a $10 gift card to lots of places, or I can get on the ball with clicking on their emails and probably earn a $25 before Christmas.

I was browsing through their list of merchants where I can redeem my points and on that list are....
CVS and Walgreens!
Target and WalMart are also on there, but i already knew that cuz I used to get them regularly.

They also have printable coupons like coupons.com and smartsource.com and you get points when you redeem those coupons.

Anyway, I am just so excited to have ANOTHER way (besides filling Rx) to get more free gift cards to get more free stuff at CVS and Walgreens!
yay!

More online coupon and sample sites

wwwwwwWhile browsing today I came across these...

I think I have used them occasionally but not commitedly ( is that a word?)


Anyway, I wanted to share and document so I remember them too! I think Ihave signed up to receive an email from most of them too, which is a nice reminder to print them when new coupons are added and updated. :)
