A few FREEBIES @ Wags

(This is my first attempt blogging from my iPad so bear with me if things aren't quite right!)

If you are heading to Wags for all the craziness of FREE and MM's this week, I have a couple FREEBIES for you to add to your list.

Wags has small 3 count boxes of Cream of Wheat for $1.00 each. Take along your $1.00 off coupon from the 1/9 SS to get some nice hot cereal for FREE, if you need more coupons you can check out this link here for another $1.00 off coupon and here for $1.00 off Cinnabon flavor Cream of Wheat.  These cute little boxes were not by the regular cereals, so check around - look in other aisles too. 

I spotted small tubes of the new Dial NutriSkin lotion for .99 each at my store.  These were in the cosmetics counter in a small fish bowl type display.  Look low on the shelf on the far end of the counter - these were really hidden well!  Use the $2 off coupon from the 2/20 RP insert to get these FREE, with some possible overage. 

I will try to get my Wags shop posted this week, but I am having a hard time keeping up because the deals are so good this week, so I may not be able to in a timely manner.  :)  I will do what I can!

Dollar General 50% off Coupon Update

I had a rough day on Thursday and needed some retail therapy on Friday to set my mood straight again.  I don't normally shop at Dollar General but with the 50% off coupon I mentioned here I figured I had to check it out.    

There are some really awesome deals to be had with this coupon and I wanted to report back on some of the items that I found worked with this coupon.  There's no list of items included so it's all pretty much trial and error.  Here's some things that worked for me:

Hampers
Laundry Baskets
Storage Containers
Hangers
Photo Frames
Cleaning Products (Clorox Toilet Wands and Refill Heads*)
Kitchen Items (colanders, etc)
Towels/Wash Cloths
Buckets/Storage Caddys
Aluminum Disposable Pans
Kids Water Bottles

Here's a list of what I found that was not part of the 50% off coupon:

Garden/Outdoor
Anything you use a Manufacturer Coupon on

You may also want to check out the clothing.  Several items are on clearance and with the Dollar General low prices, clearance items are dirt cheap.  I picked up some sweat pants for my hubby for $4.25 each and long sleeve layering V neck t's for myself for $3 each.  I also spotted some infant/toddler Fisher Price clothing sets (shirts and pants) for $3 a set. 

Remember this coupon expires on the 27th so you need to jump on this one.  You can print the coupon 5 times per computer.

*Look for boxes of Clorox Wands that have a $5 rebate on them.  These are priced at $10, so $5 after the 50% off coupon and then the rebate makes them FREE!

Dollar General Printable Coupons

My frugal friend Dawn found a great deal at Dollar General that she shared with me today.  Right here are some printable coupons for Dollar General store. There's one coupon for 50% off Decor, Housewares and Domestics.  This coupon is only good from 2/1/11 thru 2/27/11 and appears to be an unlimited print coupon - I printed it three times.  This coupon is good for 50% off your ENTIRE purchase of all Home Decor, Housewares, Kitchen, Bed Pillows, Sheets & Rugs. 

Dawn mentioned that she was able to use this coupon for 50% off all storage bins/containers.  She scored some for as low as $1.25 each!  If one of your New Year's resolutions was to be more organized, this just may be the best deal to get you on your way.  She also mentioned that there were file bins/totes and those would be great for storing all those dated coupon inserts.  If you take advantage of this coupon, come back and let us know what you found!  I plan on stopping there tomorrow.

Thanks, Dawn!

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

Hilander - Kelloggs Deal & Yoplait Surprise

This week Hilander is also running a deal on select Kelloggs cereals and products. They are $2.99 and you get $4 off instantly for every 4 you buy. You can stack this deal and that actually can be the best way to work this one depending on your coupons. Included in this sale is Special K cereal (almost all varieties including granola), Nutri Grain bars, Special K bars, Kashi Go Lean cereal (including Crisp), Special K fruit crisps, and Fiber Plus bars (NOT Fiber One chewy bars:). So, here's how I worked the deal:

4 boxes Special K cereal (I got granola)
4 more boxes original Specal K cereal
5 Nutri Grain bars
1 Kashi Go Lean Crisp
2 Special K bars

Ecoupons: $5/5 select Kellogs snacks (for me the Nutri Grain bars) Hilander.net
Printables: 4 B1G1 Special K cereals (two from the link Renea mentioned here and two from their facebook page here) and two $1/2 Nutri Grain bars (from Kelloggs.com)
Insert Coupons: two $1/2 Special K cereals and one $1/2 Special K bars (both from the 1/2 RP)
Special Mailers Coupons: $3/1 Kashi Go Lean Crisp (recent Kashi promotion)

Subtotal: $47.84 - $16 (4 sets of 4 items) - $11.96 (4 free Special K cereals) - $5 (Hilander E coupon) - $2 (Nutri Grain) - $3 (insert coupons) - $3 (Kashi - this did NOT beep) =
$6.88 TOTAL or .43 per item

In connection with the above sale, I have three $1/1 coupons for Kashi Go Lean Crisp to share. If you'd like one, please leave a comment below or send me a message.

YOPLAIT - This was a surprise deal for me this week and since as Deb mentioned below we are unable to locate any details this may or may not still be going on. Yoplait cups are on sale for $.50 each this week. I bought 14, used a $.50/8 and $.40/6 (both from the 1/2 GM), and also had loaded two e coupons from Cellfire. I paid $4.40 and got back a $1.25 OYNO catalina making them just $.23 a piece. If you buy any Yoplait this week, please leave us a comment and let us know if you get a surprise catalina too.

Printable Coupons Reset for December

You will want to check out Coupons.com, Redplum.com and Smartsource.com for new and reset coupons.  My frugal pal Nicole alerted me that the $5 Purina Pro Plan coupon (@ Coupons.com)  has reset so if you missed out on the great deals I posted here you have another opportunity to score at PetSmart (or score again if you did it once already!).  I also noticed that some of the other coupons I just printed on the 30th have reset too.  :)

Just in time for holiday wrapping and shipping here's some coupons for Scotch brand products. 

.50 off one roll Scotch packing tape
$1.00 off TWO Scotch pop up tape dispensers or refills
$1.00 off any Scotch brand cutter

These are all in .pdf format so save them incase they disappear. 

Reminder: End of Month - Printables

Today is the day to check out Coupons.com, Redplum.com and Smartsource.com for any coupons that you have been meaning to print.  Since it's the end of the month, new printables will be available tomorrow and some that have been available this month will be gone.

$1.00 Kraft Shredded Cheese Coupon

Here's a link for $1.00 off any ONE package of New Kraft Natural Shredded Cheese with a Touch of Philadelphia.  This is a high value coupon for shredded cheese that we don't see too often.  The coupon expires one month after printing.  Look under the "coupons" tab for the actual coupon. 

Has anyone seen this in the stores yet?  Sounds de-lish!

(Thanks to Freebies4Mom for the link!)

$3 Zantac Printable Coupon

Here's a link for a $3 off manufacturer coupon for Zantac (8 ct. or higher).  This is a high value coupon that doesn't come around too often.  Last year, right around this time, we saw a $5 printable coupon that made the small boxes FREE at Wal-mart.  This coupon won't make these FREE but you will see significant savings if you or someone you know uses this product.

Free Ronzoni at Hilander

I just realized I'd left my favorite deal of the week at Hilander off my earlier post. I have so much spaghetti sauce from my garden tomatoes I was very excited about this one. As part of the buy 10 items, save $5 promotion going on through Wednesday, Ronzoni Garden Delight Pasta is $.69. There is a $1/1 coupon in the 10/3 SS, a .75/1 printable here and here, and there are also .50/1 peelies on some boxes at the store (which may or may not double based on your cashier). These should all make for free, cheap, or MM pasta. All of the above coupons should work without beeping since the price is actually $1.19 before the discount. Make sure you have enough in your cart to cover it or watch your coupon deductions closely - I actually did go negative on this one and had to have them credit some coupons back to save for later :)

New Month = New Coupons!

K-mart $5 Toy Printable

I was snooping around over at CW this morning and found this $5 off any toy purchase of $5 or more printable store coupon for K-mart.  This coupon expires on 10/31 so you will want to jump on this one right away!  This coupon is in .pdf format so you can print as many as you need. You might want to save this one to your computer in case the link disappears - I have it saved if you need it e-mailed to you, just send me a note. 

There are a couple exclusions that I want to point out: excludes clearance items, B1G1 events, electronics, infants, stationery and prior purchases.  It does state right on it "Limit One Coupon per Transaction" so there is nothing wrong with breaking this down into $5 transactions to get the biggest bang for your buck. 

I am not a big fan of coupon shopping at K-mart (except for doubles!) because of all the hassles and I have not tried this one yet so I can't guarantee how it's going to work once you check out but for FREE or cheap toys with Christmas right around the corner I think it's worth a try.  If you stop over there, come back and leave a comment about your experience and how it played out.  :)

UPDATE: I had good luck with this coupon this afternoon at my local K-mart store.  I was able to do two transactions in a row with no problems.  I didn't want to over-do it so I will be going back tomorrow for a few more things.  :)  I saw quite a few things that were priced right around $5 each that would make great stocking stuffers and birthday gifts.

End of Month - Printables

Just a friendly reminder to check out Coupons.com,  Smartsource.com and RedPlum.com before they change and reset the printables with the first of the month.  There may be some good ones that you have been meaning to print but never got around to.  Take a minute to check them out before they are gone for good.  Sometimes there are coupons that reset with the first of the month also, so if there's some good ones that you have printed in the past, check back after the first of November and maybe you will get lucky and print them again.

Candy Coupons

Just in time for Halloween, Coupons.com has released some good candy coupons.  Here's a list of some of them:

- $2.00 off ONE (1) Nestle Candy Variety Bag
- $1.50 off ONE (1) Wonka Mixups
- $2.00 off ONE (1) Wonka Best on the Block
- $2.50 off TWO (2) Nestle Candy Variety Bags
- $1.50 off any THREE (3) bags Skittles, Starburst, Lifesavers

If you don't need Halloween candy now, think "clearance" for after Halloween and save these for when the seasonal candy is reduced.  These coupons may make for some really cheap or FREE candy! 

New Printable Coupon Link

I have added a new printable coupon link on the sidebar that I wanted to point out to you.  This link is for Coupon Network by Catalina and yes, this is the SAME Catalina company that gives us all the great Catalina promos! 

If you are shopping the GM Catalina promo this week at Jewel you are going to want to check out this site - there's loads of printables for many of the products on the UPC list. 

You will need to sign up to have access to the printables and you will want to check back often to see if there's any new offers.  I am really hoping that they are going to continually offer printable manufacturer coupons that align with the Catalina promos running at the stores - wouldn't that be sweet?!?

New/Reset Quaker Oats $2 Off Printable

Remember that great $2.00 off Quaker Oats printable coupon I mentioned here?  It's either been reset or there's a new one here.  You are going to want to print this one quick because it's going to go fast!  Remember, you can get the boxes at Jewel this week for .50 each with this coupon. 

Thanks, Money Saving Madness for this awesome link!

$2.00 Beneful Printable (ANY size)

If you have a furry family or donate your freebies to your local animal shelter you will want to print this $2.00 off coupon over at Coupons.com.  Just head over there and enter the zip code 12345.  You will find a $2.00 coupon off one of ANY size, ANY variety Purina brand Beneful dog food.  The small trial size bags are found at many stores for less than $2.  I usually grab mine over at PetSmart because they are SUPER coupon friendly there and usually give overage with no questions asked.
