Logli 10 for $10 Mix & Match thru 4/12

My frugal friend Natalie found some great deals over at Logli this week.  They are running a 10 for $10 sale on lots of items with coupons to match to.  Logli, a Schuncks affiliated store, doubles coupons up to .55 each.  Natalie reports that you don't actually have to purchase 10 items to get the discount.  Here's what she found:

Pillsbury Sweet Rolls or Grands -  the .30 & .40 (on 2) printables here makes these .60 to .70 a package

Green Giant Fresh Steamers - .50 on 2 from here,  makes these .50 a pack

Yoplait Greek Yogurt - .35 printable here , doubles to .70 making these .30 each

Suddenly Salad  - .50 on 2 here makes these .50 a box

Heluva Good Dip  - .75 from the 2/27 SS insert makes these .25 each

Chiquita Bites  - .55 from the 2/27 SS insert, makes these FREE and possible overage with doubled coupon

Act II Popcorn  - .50 off from the 2/27 SS insert, FREE with doubled coupon

My frugal pal Nicole also pointed out that the Trans Ocean Crab Classics are also part of the 10 for $10.  Check your coupon binders because there have been tearpads out for .55 off one.  This would double and these would be FREE with possible overage.  Keep your eyes open at the store, you just might find the tearpads right in front of the product! 

A couple other things I noticed from the ad, iceberg lettuce and Fresh Express cole slaw are also part of this sale.  If you picked up any of the produce wine tags I mentioned here then these would be .50 each (WT is $1.00 off any $2 or more produce purchase, so make sure to get two).  Might be worth a wander through the liquor department before you shop.

You can find the weekly sale ad here.

Thanks, Natalie and Nicole for sharing your finds!

Hilander Week of 1/13-1/19

This weeks deal that caught my attention first was the GM Cereal and Breakfast bars. Now the price alone of $2.49 each is not great, but when you combine it with coupons, electronic coupons, free boxes of cereal, and 2 catalina deals it gets better. I focused on Nature Valley Granola Bars and Fiber One Chewy bars in my trip this morning. Both have a deal running where if you buy 3 boxes of bars at $2.49 each, you get one free box of Cinnamon Chex or Cinnamon Burst Cheerios (this part does stack).

The two catalinas running (and I didn't test if you could combine them, just that they worked separately) are buy 3 boxes get $1.50 OYNO, buy 4 boxes get $2.50 OYNO, and buy 5 boxes get $3.50 OYNO. This will be in the form of a catalina coupon that will print out and given to you with your receipt, not an instant savings. Here are a list of coupon matchups.

Nature Valley: .50/1 smartsource.com (prints with do not double), .50/1 target.com (does not contain the Target logo), .50/1 coupons.com (prints with DND), .50/1 ecentives.com, $1/2 boxtopsforeducation.com and .75/2 from the 1/2 GM insert. Also .50/1 electronic coupons from Hilander.net and cellfire.com (always load from the Hilander site first).

Fiber One Chewy: .50/1 smartsource.com (prints with DND), .50/1 target.com (no logo), .50/1 coupons.com (prints with DND), .50/1 ecentives.com, and .40/1 from the 1/2 GM insert. Also .50/1 ecoupons on Hilander.net and Cellfire.com

Chex Cereal Coupons (which they may or may not accept): $1/2 smartsource.com and $1/2 ecoupon on shortcuts.com (this will actually affect the ammount the free one comes off as - for some reason the computer detects this coupon and deducts $1 less automatically).

Here's how I worked it:
6 NV bars at $2.49 each + 2 boxes Cinnamon Chex also $2.49= $19.92
6-.50/1 coupons (my cashier doubled all) & $1/2 chex (and took this)= $12.92
2-.50/1 eQ's (bars) & $1/2 eQ (cereal)= $10.92
$2.49 (first free box cereal) & $1.49 (second free box because of the EQ)=$6.94
and get back $3.50 catalina = $3.44 or .43 per item

6 Fiber One Bars and 2 boxes Chex= $19.92
4-.50/1 Q's & 2-.40/1 Q's (my cashier doubled all) & $1/2 chex (and took this)=$13.32
3-.50/1 eQ's (bars, I had one previously loaded)= $11.82
2-$2.49 (both free boxes of cereal)= $6.84
and get back $3.50 catalina = $3.34 or .42 per item

You will need to break up your order as only one catalina will print out per transaction. I also used the first catalina to help pay for the second. Your transactions may be different than mine depending on the coupons you have and the cashier you get.

Keep in mind Hilander only doubles 2 of a like coupon in one day. This can be interpreted by your cashier as only two .50/1 for a product or they may double more .50/1 coupons because they 'look' different. They also may or may not take a coupon on a free product such as the cereal. It is definitely a YMMV experience at Hilander these days.

Other deals to mention:
Quaker Instant Oatmeal is $1.99 - use the $1/1 from the 1/2 RP
8 lb bags of Jumbo Russet Potatoes are $2.99
Tyson boneless, skinless chicken is again $1.97/lb
Hillshire Farms Deli Lunchmeat is $3 - use the .55/1 (doubled) from the 1/9 RP

Logli/Schnuk's Coupon Match-Ups

My frugal pal Danielle headed over to Logli to see what kinds of deals she could round up over there.  She sent this write up to me so I could share it with everyone.  Logli is a Schnuck's affiliate store, so the deals and ads should be the same.  If you would like to check out the weekly ad, go here.  Keep in mind that this Logli store doubles coupons up to .55 each.  None of these are super-great deals, but if you are low and in need of these items it may be worth a trip to Logli.  Since it's been quite a while since we have seen any real Catalina promos, I suspect that everyone's stockpile is starting to look pretty pathetic. Here's Danielle's match-ups. 

Danielle writes:


Buy 3 Hunt's pudding: $2.40 (½ SS)
Pillsbury Grands refrigerated biscuits (buy 4) - $2.00
Totino's Pizza Rolls (buy 4) - $2.00
Campbell's Condensed Soups (buy 5) - $3.70
Hunt's Tomatoes (buy 3) - $2.00 (AY Jan. '11)
Healthy Choice Soup (buy 2) - $1.00 (½ SS)
Hamburger Helper (buy 3) - $2.25
Betty Crocker boxed potatoes (buy 4) - $1.00
Del Monte Fruit Naturals (buy 6) - $4.00
Progresso Soup (buy 4) - $3.00 (½ GM)
Yoplait Yogurt (buy 8) - $3.00 (½ GM)
Old Orchard Healthy Balance Juice (buy 2) - $1.00


This is my "what to buy" list and what you'll pay OOP. If there's not a source listed (like 1/2 SS), it means I went to Coupon Tom and found a printable. So, you don't necessarily have to buy the quantity I did, but just however much you wanna get within the restrictions of your coupons.


The Old Orchard juice was the best one, I think. And the Yoplait is actually on a better deal this week at Pacemaker and Sullivan's (4/$10), so I wouldn't do that one through Logli. There was also a problem with the Del Monte coupon, but my girl finally pushed it through...

As a side note, Danielle mentions Yoplait.  Frugal Tara reported in to me that at Hilander she received a surprise Yoplait OYNO Catalina when she purchased Yoplait.  I have searched high and low for a national Catalina promo or a local Hilander promo for Yoplait and have come up empty handed.  I don't know the dates of the Yoplait promo, but Hilander may be your best place for that this week.

Thanks for sharing your finds, Danielle!

K-mart Super Doubles on 10/31/10 ONLY

I received an e-mail this morning from K-mart advertising a one day only double coupon sale for 10/31/10.  To read the fine print, check here.  There's lots of stipulations on this one, K-mart seems to be making these promos harder and harder to get any great deals.  This sale doubles manufacturer coupons up to $2 ($2 off coupon becomes $4 off the item) and will not double more than the price of the item, but you have to spend $25 in grocery and drug-store merchandise in order to qualify. 

Thanks, but no thanks, K-mart!  This sounds like too much work and trouble for me - I will be sitting this one out! 

A Few More Hilander/Kroger Goodies

Frugal Tara had some great deals listed at Hilander this week, you can see her original post here.  When I went today I scored a few more goodies that I wanted to share with you. 

My frugal pal Melissa tipped me in on this Tide Stain release deal.  The 36 oz bottles are $7.49 right now, and there's a $3.00 off electronic coupon you can add to your Plus Card to stack with the $3.00 off manufacturer coupon from the 9/26 PG insert.  Makes these bottles $1.49 after coupons!

Frugal Melissa also alerted me to the money maker with Vicks Sinex.  If you stack the $4.00 off coupon from the 9/26 PG or the 10/10 PG inserts with the $4.00 electronic coupon loaded to your card you can "make" $1.71 on this one! Make sure you have enough in your cart to cover your overage.

Bumble Bee light tuna is still .99 a pouch, use the .55 coupon from the 9/12 SS to get these FREE when the coupon doubles.  You won't get overage on this one but FREE is still good!

Oreo cookies are part of the $5 instant savings sale (wyb 10 participating items).  Load the $1.00 off TWO electronic coupon to your Plus card to get additional savings on these.  If you were lucky enough to print the Nabisco monthly coupon available on Facebook at the beginning of each month you can get one FREE package when you purchase one package and a gallon of milk together.  The cashier will take off $2.99 for the FREE package, but it still counts toward one of your 10 items to get the $5 instant savings.  You get the .50 off each item for the sale and .50 off each item for the electronic coupon (in addition to a FREE package!).  The Double Stuff Oreos work for this too.

Idahoan potato pouches are $1.05 each right now, and if you buy 4 you get a Catalina coupon for $1.00 OYNO.  The great thing is that there's a $1.00 off coupon on the Idahoan Facebook page.  If you have access to TWO computers you can print this twice from each computer - just login to your Facebook account each time.  If you have 4 of these printables you pay .20 and get back $1 turning this into an .80 MM!! 

Playtex Gentle Glide tampons are on sale 2/$5 right now (with your Plus card).  If you printed the $2 off manufacturer coupons recently available you can get these for .50 a box.  If you don't have the $2 printable, there's a $1.50 off printable available here making these $1.00 a box.  UPDATE:  There's also a $2.00 off printable over at RedPlum!

Driscoll's raspberries are on sale for $1.00 each - and they are good!  This is a good price for these, get them while they are still in season and freeze them for smoothies or fancy desserts when they are not in season and super expensive. 

Don't forget to play the "Kick Off" savings game Tara mentioned here, I already won a FREE bottle of FUZE and a Nabisco "to go" cup!  If you have TWO Plus Cards play for both cards and don't forget you can load coupons on both cards too - just remember to split out into two transactions.

More Hilander/Kroger Goodies

If you are planning on heading to Hilander/Kroger to take advantage of some of the great deals Tara listed here, you may want to add a few more of these items to your list. 

Bumble Bee Light Tuna pouches are on sale for .99 each.  Bring along the .55 coupon from the 9/12 SS and you will get these FREE when your coupon doubles.  As Tara already pointed out, no overage on doubles at Hilander/Kroger - the register only doubles to the value of the item, but FREE is good too!

Smart Balance half gallon milk is $3.39.  Load the $2.00/1 coupon to your Plus Card here and combine that with the $2.00 off 1 coupon from the 9/12 RP to turn this into a MM.  You will "earn" .61 on this one!

Lastly, you might want to check your coupon binder for a home mailer coupon for $1.00 off any Charmin.  I had two of these in my binder, but I couldn't remember when I received them and where it came from.  If you have this coupon you will have an even better deal on the Charmin that Tara originally posted about.

A BIG Thanks to Tara for her original post - that helped my shopping out a bunch!

A Better Softsoap Deal!

My frugal friend Melissa pointed out to me today that there's a better way to use the .50 off Softsoap coupons I posted about here in my Wags deals of the week.  She reported that Softsoap is on sale at Kroger/Hilander for $1.00 each this week.  Using the .50 off coupon you will get these FREE because the coupon will double to $1.00!  There's also a .35 coupon in the 7/25 SS that would double to .70 making these .30 each.  A big Thanks to Melissa for letting me know! 

I also noted that Wal-mart has the Softsoap for .98 each.  The coupon won't double, but you will get these for .48 each there.  Also better than the Walgreens deal. 

I don't get the Kroger/Hilander sale flyer in my area so it's hard for me to keep up with the great deals there  -  I appreciate all my frugal friends reporting in!

Hilander/Kroger Mega Event thru 7/28

Since the Hilander/Kroger Mega Event continues again this week thru 7/28 I wanted to point out a few really great deals that I scored there.  I took advantage of the Mega Event and the current Kraft national Catalina promo to double dip for some FREE and really cheap products.  If you want to check out the weekly ad online just go here.   You can also check out the previous post from my frugal friend Tara right here. 

Philadelphia Cream Cheese is .99 when you purchase 10 participating Mega Event items.  There's a $1.00 off printable coupon at Real Women of Philadelphia when you sign up (look in the lower right corner of the screen after sign-up).  Buy 5 of these, along with 5 other participating products, and use as many coupons as you can print.  With 5 coupons you turn these into a .05 MM and then you get a $5.00 OYNO Kraft Catalina back! That's a total of $5.05 MM on this one!  Repeat as many times as needed, but remember, you will only get one $5.00 OYNO Kraft Cat per transactions so break this out into separate transactions.  This Catalina rolls so you can use the $5.00 that printed on your previous transaction to pay to lower you OOP even more. 

Kraft Cheeses are $1.88 when you purchase 10 participating Mega Event items.   Right in front of the cheese in the dairy section there's a blinkie machine with coupons on these cheeses for $1.00 off TWO.  Pick up 6 various cheeses and grab three of the blinkies.  The total for these would be $8.28 after three coupons and then you get a $5.00 OYNO Kraft Catalina.  That makes these 6 cheeses $3.28 or .55 a package - definitely a stock up price.  If you roll your Catalina from the Philadelphia Cream Cheese deal above your OOP is even less - $3.28 OOP and you would get back a $5 OYNO Cat.  Cheese freezes perfectly fine so don't be shy - get enough for at least 12 weeks!

Tombstone pizza's are $1.99 when you purchase 10 participating Mega Event items.  Grab the $2.00 off coupon over at Facebook and these are a .01 MM!  Print this coupon as many times as you can, try logging into your FB account on another computer and you might be able to print it twice again. 

Totino's pizza rolls and Pillsbury Toaster Strudel are also part of the Mega Event and a good price.  Totino's are $1.99 after 10 participating items and there's a .40 off TWO coupon in the 5/30 GM that doubles to .80 off TWO and Toaster Strudel are $1.49 after 10 items with a .55 off TWO coupon from 5/16 S that doubles to $1.10 off TWO. 

Don't forget about the national Catalina promo running on Capri Sun right now.  These ARE NOT part of the Mega Event or the Kraft Catalina promo but they are a really great deal at Hilander/Kroger, especially if you scored some of those $1.00 off Capri Sun Sunrise coupons from Woodmans when they had them taped to the shelf.  These are priced at $1.93 a box.  Pick up 4 boxes, use 4 coupons and pay $3.72 and get a $3.00 OYNO Catalina back.  That's 4 boxes of Capri Sun for .72!  Another stock up price for sure!   (Before you try this one out make sure you read my post here for additional info about this promo)

If you are heading to Hilander/Kroger, why not give my new print feature a try to make your list.  Just click the Print Friendly button at the bottom of this post and edit it to fit your needs.  I'd love to hear feedback on how it works for you.

K-mart Super Doubles Ends 4/10

Just a reminder that the K-mart Super Doubles sale ends on 4/10/10.  If you haven't had a chance to get to the store to take advantage of some of the freebies, you only have one more day.  Several of the money saving blogs listed on the sidebar have great coupon match-ups for freebies or really great deals - check them out!

K-mart Super Doubles 4/4 - 4/10

CommonSenseWithMoney blog has posted some answers to questions we have all been wondering about with the upcoming Super Doubles sale at K-mart.   Here's the executive summary:

1. You must have a Shop Your Way to Rewards card in order to have your coupons doubled. To get your Shop Your Way to Rewards card, visit your local Kmart store or apply online at http://www.shopyourwayrewards.com/.

 2. There is no minimum amount to spend.

 3. You can double a total of 5 coupons. Customers may not double more than one of the same coupon.

#3 is pretty vague - it doesn't state if it's 5 coupons per day, per transaction or just 5 for the whole week.  Typical of K-mart...I guess we will just have to wait and see if anyone can report back on Sunday.

If you don't already have the K-mart rewards card, I would just wait and apply in store when you go to shop.  They will give you your new card immediately and you won't have to wait for the snail mail.  Since the Super Doubles sale seems to be linked to the rewards card - why not apply for more than one card?  You would then be able to do multiple transactions and double coupons in increments of 5's.  I already have two cards - one in my name and one in my husband's name.  I plan on shopping every day at the doubles sale since the store is just minutes away from my son's school.

FREE Kiss Nail Accents (with overage!)

Coupons.com has a printable coupon for $2.00 off any Kiss artificial nail product.  Wal-mart has the Kiss Nail Accents flexible stickers for $1.87.  I picked up a couple of these today and will go back and get some more soon.  They are really cute flowery decals.  Just perfect for summertime coming up!  They also have some rhinestones for $2.97 which were really cute also.  The coupon beeps and the cashier has to push it through when the register prompts "valid coupon amount?" so choose your cashier wisely.  These were  a little hard to locate at my store, they weren't right with the other Kiss nail products, so look down toward the floor/bottom row by the other nail decals.

(If you can't find this coupon under your zip code, try zip code 63366 - that's where I found them!)

No Coupon Inserts 4/4/10?

UPDATE : Coupon Tom is stating NO coupon inserts this weekend, but Sunday Coupon Preview shows a P&G insert.  Be on the look out for this insert - don't discard it by mistakenly thinking there's nothing worth digging through the paper for.

Just a remider that there's no inserts scheduled for this Sunday's paper.  It's Easter Sunday and there's normally no inserts on holiday weekends.  I am somewhat glad there will be no inserts - I need a break from clipping and shopping after this week at Wags, Target and Hilander! 

Don't forget K-mart Super Doubles starts on 4/4!

$2.00 off Dove Deodorant Coupon : K-mart Super Doubles

Here's a link to a really great $2.00 coupon for Dove Visibly Smooth Deodorant.  The last time K-mart had the Super Doubles sale I was able to use this coupon to get lots of FREE deodorant.  I haven't checked the price of this at K-mart recently, but I can't imagine that this would be priced much more than $4. 

Remember, K-mart Super Doubles sale runs 4/4 thru 4/10!

April All You Magazine

My April All You Magazine came in the mail today and I am so excited about some of the coupons inside!  You are definitely going to want to pick up this issue!  It has $81.55 worth of coupons inside.  Here's just a few of the great ones that I see: 

*FREE Rimmel product (up to $5.00): Color Rush Eye Shadow, Lycra Lash Extender Mascara, Exaggerate Eye Definer, Natural Bronzer or Lasting Finish Intense Wear Lipstick.  It states "Purchase at Wal-mart" but it is a manufacturer coupon and does not state ONLY at Wal-mart.  Wouldn't it be great to find a B1G1F sale to combine this one with?

*$2.00 off any LaCross Beauty Tool - this will be a great one for K-mart Super Doubles sale - FREE beauty tools!

*$1.00 off Colgate Total - looks like I am heading back to Wags for more FREE toothpaste!

*$1.00 off Colgate Sensetive Toothpaste - and more FREE toothpaste at Wags!

*$2.00 off any one Spot Shot carpet stain and odor eliminator - this doubled at K-mart should make for an almost free carpet cleaner. 

There are various other coupons, but these really stood out to me.  Of course, the newstand copy does not come out at Wal-mart this early, so you can expect to see this issue out next week or later.  If you don't have a subscription, you might want to think about ordering one, this magazine pays for itself.

List of K-mart stores participating in Super Doubles 4/4 thru 4/10

If you find your self unsure that the K-mart store that you shop at is going to participate in the Super Doubles double coupon sale you can check this master list directly from K-mart headquarters for a complete run-down of all the K-mart stores across the country that will be participating.  I found two of my local K-mart stores on the list so I am jumping for joy! 

The Super Doubles sale starts on 4/4 and runs thru 4/10.  If you have never had the opportunity to shop a K-mart double coupon sale you will really enjoy this.  It's a great way to build your stockpile very quickly.  All coupons up to $2 face value will double, up to the price of the item of course.  There's no overage when shopping the double coupon sale but when a $2 coupon doubles to $4 off there's loads of products to be had for FREE!

K-mart doubles again! 4/4 thru 4/10

Of course, I have been telling everyone that K-mart is no longer going to run their "Super Doubles" coupon sale because that is what they have been reporting and now K-mart has gone and changed their mind (K-mart seems to do this to us deal seeking couponers a lot lately)!!

It's being reported on several money saving blogs and forums that from 4/4 thru 4/10 K-mart will again be running their Super Doubles double coupon sale and here's the guidelines:

Manufacturer Coupons up to and including $2 Value Doubled up to $4
Offer dates: 04/04-04/10
Does not include Kmart Store Coupons
Does not include Kmart Pharmacy Store Coupons
Limit 5 total coupons per customer per day.
Store Operations: First 5 coupons provided by customer will be doubled.  (meaning they stop doubling after 5, so use your highest value coupons first)

ALL Illinois stores are included in this sale with the exception of Galesburg, Moline, Rock Island and Sterling.

With the limit of 5 per customer, I see lots of trips to K-mart in my future! 

Stay tuned for more info, as I get any more news about it I will post it here.  I will try to find some coupon match-up lists to make our shopping trips a little easier.

Getting Started: Double Coupons

Some stores run double coupon promotions or regularly double coupons up to a certain value.  This is another reason why it's important to know your store's coupon policy.  The store that you shop at may regularly double coupons that you are not aware of.  Locally, we have Kroger (Hilander) and Schnucks (Logli) affiliate stores that both double coupons up to .55 daily, it's their policy.  I do know that Kroger's double coupon policy varies by region so it may be different where you live. 

K-mart also runs a double coupon promotion about every 6-8 weeks or so.  K-mart's double coupon promotions are like a sale, they usually run Sunday through the following Saturday.  They double coupons up to $2.00, which means a $2.00 off coupon instantly becomes $4.00 off at the register.  They do not allow overage at the double coupon sale, so if the item price is less than the coupon doubled, they will only take off the full value of the coupon and double up to the item's price.  The K-mart doubles sale was my favorite as a new coupon shopper because it was easy to do and I could build up my stockpile very quickly in a short amount of time.  When doubling up to $2.00, a lot of items become free.  Sometimes there are limits on how many coupons per day each shopper can double, sometimes your total has to be a certain amount before coupons ($25), and the rules change each time. You have to read the small print of the ad.  I have even seen where they only double coupons on certain manufacturers, such as Procter & Gamble.  The double coupon sale is usually advertised in K-mart's sale flyer, but if you read any of the money saving blogs, you will know ahead of time so you can prepare.  K-mart is not having another double coupon sale until 2010.
