Tear Pad Coupon ALERT!!!

Be on the lookout!

While shopping at Albertson's I found 2 awesome tear pad coupons:
<$2.00>/2 - DiGiorno Pizzas
<$2.00> - Kashi Frozen Entree' or Bake Product
<$1.50> - Kashi Frozen Pocket Bread Product
<$3.00> - Kashi Frozen Pizza Product

I found the DiGiorno in the frozen food department on the door and the Kashi coupons at the self-checkout clerk's register. Both Manufacturer's are stingy with coupons so this is a jackpot of a find. Both coupons would be great to use at Tom Thumb for the Chill Out at Home Promo, click here for info. Be courteous to your fellow couponers, don't take the whole pad - I only took 4 of each and I am sharing with my neighbor.

Happy Couponing! Hunting!

Albertson's 03/18 - 03/24/09

My Albertson’s will Triple coupons up to $0.39 and Double coupons up to $0.50. They will only Triple and Double (4) of the same coupon. Check your local Albertson’s coupon policy before shopping.

Right now when you shop at Albertson’s and when you buy certain items you earn game pieces (just like McDonald’s) to attach to a game board in hopes of winning prizes. At the bottom of your receipt there will be a number of how many pieces your earned, your cashier will give you the pieces. Each piece contains (4) stickers and (1) Albertson’s coupon that can be combined with a MFGC for double savings!

That's a savings of 85%, now who couldn't use that?!?!

In case you are wondering what in the world I am going to do with all those cat treats especially since I don't have a cat - I donate! In these very trying times people are holding on to their money more and donating less, especially to animal shelters. I would assume that when someone is wanting to donate they think of people needs first and they should but that doesn't mean that animals needs don't matter! Every other month or so I take a goodie box to each of my favorite local charities and they get the goods, I get the GREAT feeling of doing something good and a tax receipt too! Goodness all around! Keep this theory in mind when you have a coupon match-up for an item that you won't ever use. It doesn't have to take up a lot of room either just keep a little box in a closet or your garage and when it's full send it on it's way to help someone out.

Happy Couponing!

CVS 03/15 - 03/21/09

Don't forget if you don't want to do ECB (Extra Care Bucks) you can price match at Wal-Mart with the ad and still take part in the savings, click here for more details. Also to print more than one copy of a coupon hit the back button after the first copy prints, most sites will only let you print 2.

Never been CVSin' before click here because Denise at The "Cent"sible Sawyer has written a GREAT post all about the ins and outs of CVS and of course you can contact me if you have any other questions!
