Club Meeting Tonight!

There were THREE inserts in the paper this weekend!

Kmart Doubles is back this week for the LAST TIME this year! Check out the pic of the haul I got yesterday after 8 HOURS of shopping!!!

Come tonight to hear about all the great deals to be had this week!!

We also have some AWESOME news about Publix competitor coupons! I can't wait to tell you about it!!

****PLEASE NOTE THIS IMPORTANT CHANGE TO OUR MEETINGS****

In an effort to:

A. Not have everyone in the club listen to the same "Newbie Talk" every week for an hour,

and

B. Actually get some organizing done on my own coupons

we will be making the following change:

The "Newbie Couponer" talks will be given on the SECOND MONDAY of every month!!

Please feel free to bring a friend who's never been to the club meetings any Monday that you'd like. We'll rely on the wisdom of other club members to casually acquaint that person with beginning skills on Monday's when the "Newbie Talk" is not given.

See you tonight!!

AWESOMELY ORGANIZED Back to School Deals 8/16/09-8/22/09

Hello ladies!

I just got this link to an AWESOMELY ORGANIZED list of back-to-school sale items at Hot Coupon World. The list is waaay to long to post here. The list is organized by item type and then a list of the best prices from each store follows each item.

Check it out HERE.

8/16 Newspaper Coupon Insert Preview

Hey ladies...this weekend we will have 2 coupon inserts, a red plum and smart source.

I keep hearing that a KMart Doubles coupon week is coming up, so stock up on coupons that $2.00 or less to help you get some great prices on products you may need.

Click here for a full list of potential coupons.

I say potential, because as we all know we usually get just a small percentage of the coupons available. If you see something you want but we didn't get it, order it from The coupon Clippers.

There are LOTS of rockin' deals out in the blogosphere, ladies! Be sure to check our links on the right for some great stuff!

Publix Money Makers!!

Courtsey of HotCouponWorld.com:

Publix Money Makers!!

Two good money makers using the

Publix Green Advantage Buy Flyer: August 1st - 28th.

(Look for it at the front of the store.)

Sundown Vitamins

As you can see from the picture (bad as it may be), there is a Publix coupon for $6 off any 2 Sundown Naturals Vitamins or Spiderman Gummies. There a a few Manufacturer's Coupons that you can use at the same time:

$3 off 2 Print Here

$5 off 2 from 07-12-09 RedPlum

$1 off 1 from 06-28-09 RedPlum

My Publix has Vitamin D for $2.99, so the math is as follows:

Two bottles Vitamin D $2.99 x 2 = 5.98

Use the Publix Q for $6/2 and the Man Q for $5/2 = $11/2

$5.98 - $11.00 = -$5.02

That's a $5.02 Money Maker!!

CoverGirl Make-up

Next up is another money maker (although not as good) for CoverGirl Make-up. On the inside of the same Green Advantage buy Flyer there is a Publix Coupon for $2 off any one CoverGirl or Queen item. There are also $1/1 and $2.50/2 Manufacturer's Coupons from the 8/2 P&G, so that will come to $3.00/1 or $3.25/1 depending on which coupon you use. At my Publix there were several items for under $3.00. The best was $2.39 for Bronzer, so you can get (up to) an:

$0.82 overage per item!!

Leaving $45.02 at the register before tax and rebates

I'll receive:
$7.98 for paper

Totaling $37.

Which means I'll pay only $8.xx out of pocket for all of the above stuff!!! Woo hoo!
Maybe I'll get my rebates back from a few weeks ago this week so I can just roll them right into this deal. We'll see!

Oh, Staples...how I love thee...

let me count the ways.

The Staples info for this week is courtesy of Common Sense With Money. This sale starts tomorrow and goes through Saturday, August 15.

I must say that I am absolutely THRILLED that a label maker is FREE this week!! Woo hoo!! I had the though just YESTERDAY that I was going to start pricing label makers! Something about the beginning of the school year approaching has brought out a hankerin' for me to get organized as I'm planning to do more Pre-K stuff with Hunter this year. YAY FOR FREE LABEL MAKERS!!!

Another great week of deals at Staples and I am getting really jealous there is not one where I live. The sales circular preview here shows a coupon for $5 off $50. If your sales circular has it, you could pick up all of the freebies or nearly freebies after Easy Rebate and get them for free or better. If you didn’t pick up the norton Antivirus for free on Amazon.com, you can get it at Staples this week as it is free after rebates.

$5/$25 CVS Q!!!

This just in from KC Penny Pinchin' Momma:

If you go to CVS.com and complete this short quiz, you will be able to print off a coupon for $5.00 off of a $25.00 purchase. It expires on August 22nd.

Then, when you go into the store to use this coupon and earn some Extra Bucks, stop by the Pharmacy and ask them about ReadyFill and you will get a coupon Book filled with coupons valued up to $25.00.


Be sure to print yours for your next CVS trip, ladies!

I need to know if you're in!!!

*******UPDATE**********
I ordered 50 q's for the deal and the survey says:
The first three commenters on this post will get the q's.

20 for Michele.
10 for Sarah B.
20 for Sky.

Stay tuned for our results!! I did a test run yesterday with a b1g1 q that I had in my stash and it worked like a charm! :) We shall see!!!

***************************

So.....you know that I've said before that couponing is like hunting, right?

And sometimes you get your big buck and sometimes you miss.

Ladies...there is a BIG, BIG buck out there and I'm willing to take a shot at it!! Are you?

Check out this post about a HUGE money maker at Winn Dixie courtesy of Thrifty Florida Mamma.

You can make some BIG BUCKS at Winn Dixie buying the Glades Plugins that are B1G1 this week with the B1G1 q's from 7/26. Here's the deal: I just ordered 50 of these babies from a coupon clipping service and am on the phone with the Winn Dixie manager in GG City as I type having her order 100 of these!!!! There should be a $1 Catalina Q that prints for every 1 you buy!!!

They will be in on Sunday morning!!!! I'm hoping to get the coupons on Saturday or Monday. If you want to do this with me I need you to meet me at Winn Dixie either on Sunday morning or Monday night before Clipper Chicks! Comment to let me know if you are in and how many q's you want to buy. The q's are $.15 each.

VOCAL POINT!!!

Seriously....you ALL should sign up for Vocal Point. It's an organization that likes to get feedback from you about all kinds of great products. You participated as little or as much as you like. The benefit....lots of GREAT coupons! About once a month a get a little envelope in the mail with whatever product is being featured. I always seem to get a Q for a free product, then 5 or 6 more Qs for money off that product. The first month it was Shredded Mini Wheat. Last month it was Kashi Waffles (lots of GREAT FREE Waffles) This month it's Rice Krispies (lots of Rice krispie treats for our family....coming soon). The envelope even talked this month! These coupons will go GREAT with the BOGO deal at Publix this week!!! Woohoo!!!

So....log on to Vocal Point today to sign up. Seriously...they don't drive you crazy with e-mails (I would say once a week?) and you get great coupons from it. It's definitely worth it.
