ENJOYING FAMILY

I will be enjoying a few days with my family over the Labor Day Holiday. I will be back with any deals I find early next week.

Enjoy your long weekend!

MONEYMAKER ON WORCESTERSHIRE SAUCE

Are you planning on buying Heinz Ketchup this week? This is the ONLY ketchup my family will use. I myself have never cared for ketchup so I really don't understand it!

Make sure you use the coupon from the Toss For Cash Book to get a Worcestershire Sauce for FREE. This is a publix coupon so I found another coupon we can stack with it to make it a moneymaker!

Go to frenches.com and register to print a $.30 off coupon. While you are there, print the $.30 off French's Mustard and use with the BOGO sale.

My husband just said to me last night that he needed mustard at work. I pulled my last from my stockpile. Now how's that for timing??

PIRATE AND TREASURE MUSEUM DEAL

Looking for something to do this weekend with the kids? There is a new deal on double take deals you may want to take advantage of.

You can buy two admission tickets to the St. Augustine Pirate and Treasure Museum for $13.75, regularly $27.54. This is one of the world's largest collections of authentic pirate artifacts and interactive exhibits.

Go to www.doubletakedeals.com

While you are there check out the deal for $20 worth of food for $10 at Gypsy Cab!

ETC BOOK UPDATE

Well, here we go again! I have heard from enough of you to order a second set of books. Remember, it will be the Florida Ultimate Edition NOT the Jacksonville book. It won't have restaurant coupons in it but I know we ALL have enough of those!!

Below are the names of the people who will be on the 2nd order of books:

Emily - 2
Nicole - 1
Michelle - 1
Mary Grace - 10
Julie - 1

I am going to charge $17 for these. I know I said $16 to the first group but if everyone wouldn't mind going up $1 just so I can get something for my time to organize, put it on my credit card, and arrange delivery/pick-up times, I would REALLY appreciate it!! Thank you for understanding! :)

WALMART VERSUS PUBLIX

Some of you may notice this flyer WalMart sent out to us to try to entice us into their store. They didn't succeed with me...and I will tell you why.

I don't remember all the prices of all the deals but I do know a few of them and what I paid at Publix. Notice the Fiber One Cereal on the front? I still have about 10 boxes left that I got for FREE. Walmart's price...$2.98. Even if we didn't get another freebie deal, Publix sale price with a coupon would be about $1.20 a box with a MQ and TQ.

Next page Walmart has Progresso Soup for 1.88 a can. I just bought 18 cans of soup for $.50 each within the last month. Dora the Explorer Fruit Snacks are priced at Walmart at $2 each. I got fruit snacks for free from Publix. Let's talk Granola bars also. I paid anywhere from free to about $.30 a box.

Let's move on to Stouffer's Lasagna. Walmart has it on rollback for $5.98. I guess we are supposed to be impressed but I know I paid $3.00 at Publix and I still have two of them in my freezer! Activia Yogurt is priced at $3.48 at Walmart but I only paid $1.00 for it this week at Publix.

On the back page Walmart has Degree Deodorant for $1.97. Now all of us who are serious couponers know that you NEVER pay for deodorant. We just got Suave deodorant for free a few weeks ago and I have also received Degree and Right Guard for free. I have enough deodorant to cover all of St. Augustine's underarms!

Last is the Clorox Disinfecting Wipes. Walmart's rollback price is $4.88.  Well, I got 2 different brands for free, one at Publix and the other at Winn Dixie.

I know there are more items in the flyer that I know we get a better price on such as Old El Paso Dinner Kits, Hamburger Helper, Uncrustables, Cereal, Lays Chips (deal beginning Thursday) and others.

Let's do the math...I think you will agree Publix wins!

CVS MILK DEAL AGAIN

CVS has TG Lee milk for $3.69 but you get a $1 ECB back. Check your binders for the printable TG Lee coupon for $1 which expires 11/23/12. Use that and pay $2.69 and get $1 back.

It's like paying $1.69 for a gallon of milk!

I plan on giving mine to my daughter because her kids drink a ton of milk and my five 1/2 gallons will last me into October! :)

PUBLIX 8/26/12

I took advantage of the Hood milk deal I told you about and stocked up on some more All Laundry Detergent. We are good at our house now for  probably a good year and a half!! I love when I don't have to spend money each week on non-edible items!! This is what I bought:

2 Peanut Butter (used two $1/1 PQ)
Lg. Bag Baby Carrots
Cantelope
4 Hood Milk (these will last me until October with the one I bought yesterday) Used 4 $1/1 MQ)
1 Paul Newman Pizza ($ MQ)
2 Hefty Paper Plates (ordered $1/2 MQ)
5 All Detergent
2 Garnier Styling Products (only $.99 each using MQ and TQ)

Believe it or not my total before coupons was $55. I wanted to run and add 2 more milk to my bill to bring it up to $60 to use two $5/$30, but decided not to push it. My total after coupons and only one $5 WD coupon was $28 which is what my detergent and milk would have cost.

I would have skipped this week altogether but I knew this is probably the last time this year we see Hefty Paper Plates BOGO. We will see Chinet BOGO around the holiday time but I just use those for special occasions!
