Tomorrow is the last day for Nabisco Rebate!

If you haven't done the Nabisco "Keep the Jingle in your Holiday" $10 rebate yet, you have until tomorrow to purchase 10 participating Nabisco crackers, Easy Cheese, or Planters Peanuts to receive at $10 check back!
If you're headed to Meijer tomorrow, you can turn this into a great deal or even a nice little moneymaker.
Read all the details and print the rebate mail-in form HERE.

$2.49 Planter's Peanuts 16 oz jar, Cocktail, Redskin or Spanish Peanuts, 10-12 oz
-$1.00/2 coupon (from 1-24 SS), use 3
-$1.00/3 Meijer Mealbox printable coupon, use 2
$1.66 each when you buy 6 with coupons

$1.88 Nabisco Wheat Thins or Triscuits, 5.5-10 oz
-$1.00/1 coupon (from 1-24 SS), use 3 or $2.00/2 printable coupon print 2 per computer
-$1.00/3 Meijer Mealbox printable coupon (print as many as you need)
$0.55 each when you buy 3 with coupons
 ::Deal Idea:
Buy 6 Nabisco Wheat Thins or Triscuits
use 2 $1/1 coupon from the 1/24 SS
= $3.30

Buy 4 Planters Peanuts
use 2 $1/2 coupon from the 1/24 SS
= $6.96

Total: $10.26 for all the above - $10 rebate= $0.26 for 6 boxes of crackers and 4 peanuts!
If you can round up enough of the Wheat Thins or Triscuits coupons, this would be a better deal:
::Deal Idea:
Buy 10 Wheat Thins or Triscuits
use 4 $1/1 coupon from the 1/24 SS
use 3 $2/2 printable coupons
use 3 $1/3 Meijer Mealbox coupons
= $5.80 for all the above- $10 rebate = $4.20 moneymaker!

You can shop at different stores and submit more than one receipt, so if you bought some of these recently and still have the receipts, you can use them for the rebate! Just make sure it is received by 2/15/10!

My Shopping Today- 3 stores in about 2 hours.

I didn't step foot in a store all week because it was just TOO COLD to drag the kids out with me, and I prefer to shop alone when dear Husband can watch the kiddos! So, today I stopped at Walgreens, CVS, and Kroger to get the good deals I told you about this week.
Here is what happened:

Walgreens:

Turns out the Huggies Wipes aren't on sale here in Michigan (this happens a lot!), they were out of the B1G1 free razors (this happens a lot too), and there was only one Pert Plus for Men left! So, I got a raincheck for the razors and didn't buy any wipes. I asked if there was any Pert Plus for Men in the back and there was not. So, this spoiled my plan because you had to buy 2 in order to get $2 in Register Rewards, making them free. I spoke to a manager and asked if I could substitute another Pert Plus (my Walgreens will often do this), but instead he told me he'd give me $1 off 1 (basically what I would have gotten after the Register Reward). So I was able to buy 1 for $0.09 after the $1.50/1 coupon. I have my coupons and raincheck for the razors, so I'll check back next week and get a few for free. Always get a raincheck!

Kroger:
Lots of great deals- the El Paso deal I told you about here, the "buy 10 participating items, get $5 off" promo, and other coupons. My total before coupons was about $88 and I spent $48 but got a $3 ONYO (on your next order) catalina coupon. I didn't have time to take a picture of these groceries, but it was a car full amount!

CVS:

I just LOVE CVS! I did the "buy $20 in Pepsico/Frito Lay products, get $10 in ECB" promo, used a $5/$30 CVS coupon, used $3 in ECB's I had, spent $6 out of pocket and got back another $10 in ECB, so basically I got all of this for free, plus made $4! I did have two coupons for free Stacy's Pita chips from a Facebook deal a little while back, so that helped. But it still would have been just about free without those two coupons!

That's the beauty of couponing and generating a stockpile. I can stay out of the stores most weeks if I want to, but usually I just go and get the things that are free or cheap to add to my stockpile. Ever since I began seriously couponing last year, I am able to go "shopping downstairs" on my storage shelves and extra freezer in the basement! We have more food in the house than we've ever had before, we are giving more food away to people and charities, and we are spending less on the food we buy!

After submitting your info, the next page says "Thank you for entering", so perhaps this is also a sweepstakes. I also read that the last time Redken had a similar promotion, many people received full size products in the mail a few months later.

Cheap Huggies Wipes at Walgreens!

I haven't paid for wipes in about 8 months since I stocked up at Walgreens when they were free with coupons a while back. I've been waiting for another deal like that so I can get more for baby showers!
This deal isn't quite as good as FREE, but it's still very cheap for wipes if you are in need of some:

Here's how to get them: there is a new $1/1 Huggies wipes Walgreens coupon available in a two page flyer inside the store! View the entire list of coupons found in the flyer here (courtesy of IheartWags)

Huggies Wipes 64-ct 2/$5 thru 1/30
-$1 new Walgreens coupon
-$.50 from 1/17 SS
Final Price: $1

If you have multiple Huggies coupons, you can score an even better deal with the buy $25 in Huggies, get $5 RR!  Just purchase 10 and your final price will be as low as $.25 each! Or, if you have some Register Rewards to spend, this is a good way to "roll" them.
Sometimes we don't get the same flyers here in Michigan, so I'll check and confirm this.

New Update on the El Paso Kroger Deal!



New Update: I went to print my coupons tonight and head to Kroger for this deal and the coupons are GONE from coupons.com. Serves me right for waiting! Sometimes coupons will have a "print limit" and once that limit is reached, the coupon is no longer available.
Don't worry though-- You can still get these $0.50/1 coupons from the 1/3 SmartSource insert AND the coupon IS AVAILABLE on cellfire.com. Cellfire is a coupon website that will load the coupon right onto your savings card- like your Kroger card. The great thing about this type of coupon is that you are usually able to stack these with the paper coupons, the bad thing is that you don't have it in your hand and may forget to buy the product that you have a cellfire coupon for. I like to have the coupon right there in my hand when I shop as a reminder to me to buy the product!
So, this El Paso deal is still a great buy- just load the cellfire coupon onto your Kroger card and see if you can locate some of the coupons from the 1/3 paper.

Kroger has a great Catalina deal that started today, 1/25 and runs through 2/21.
Old El Paso- Feed Your Fiesta Catalina: (a catalina is that coupon that prints out of that little box near where your receipt prints)

  • Purchase any 3 Old El Paso Products and get $1 off your next beef or chicken purchase
  • Purchase any 6 Old El Paso Products and get $3 off your next beef or chicken purchase
Participating Items:
* Taco Shells
* Dinner Kits
* Seasonings
* Refried Beans
* Heat & Serve Side Dishes

There were $0.50/1 coupons in the 1/3 SS- but only the first three will double at Kroger. You can also print them here.

Deal Idea:
Purchase 6 Old El Paso Heat and Serve Side Dishes on sale for $1.25
Total=$7.50
Use 6 $0.50/1 coupons from the 1/3 SS or from here
3 coupons will double to $1, 3 will be face value of $0.50 = Pay $3.00
…AND get a $3 catalina off your next purchase of beef or chicken (to be used at Kroger)!
Your final cost out of pocket cost will be just $3.00 for 6 Heat and Serve Side dishes and $3 worth of FREE Beef or Chicken! This should get you at least 1 lb. of beef.

This catalina will print until 2/21, so you've got time to gather up 6 coupons.

Free Oreo's TODAY at 3PM!! Working NOW!



Have you seen the funny commercials with the Manning brothers, Donald Trump, and the guy who plays Donald Trump on SNL? They are doing a promotion with Oreo's and today 1/25 they'll be giving away free Oreo's.
Here is what I know:
They'll be giving away up to 150,000 packages while supplies last on Jan. 25, 2010 beginning at 3 pm and it will end at 11:59 PM EST. You have to click on the DSRL tab on the Oreo Facebook page. Not sure if you have to be a fan, but that is usually a stipulation in these promos. I'm guessing that the first 150,000 people to request the coupon beginning at 3 pm tomorrow will have the coupon mailed to them.
I know that we love Oreo, so I'll be trying to get this freebie! I'll remind you tomorrow before 3 pm!
THIS WILL GO FAST!!
