TIME TO SAY GOODBYE

As you may have noticed, my posts have become far and few between. Yes, the time has come to shut down the blog. I have enjoyed blogging, especially in the early days when I would post a picture of everything I bought with a receipt! For some reason, this new format will not allow me to post pictures or even do separate paragraphs. I appreciate every one of you who have commented and helped all of us save money. I didn't know the WD north of town or the beach would still take two coupons! After reading that comment, I will now continue to occasionally shop at WD with a good coupon and a sale! Thank you guys for everything and please continue to send me good deals and comments at my email judiray56@yahoo.com or my phone 904-540-5225!

WD COUPON POLICY

Just a heads up! I went to the Winn Dixie on SR 207 and was told I could only use 1 coupon with a BOGO sale. I don't know if all the WD's are the same but that is the last time I will go there. I am hoping the beach stores policy is different and will allow 2 coupons on a bogo. Has anybody had the same experience? I was hoping they would start accepting competitor coupons but it looks like they are going the other direction!!!

GREAT DEAL ON VITAMINS

This is the week to buy vitamins at Walgreens really cheap! Buy one Centrum Silver and one Centrum Regular, both on sale for $9.99. You will get one 50% off. Use a $5/2 from the Walgreens July coupon book and two $4/1 from the 7/13 RP. You will pay $1.99 or $.99 each. You can also do with the Flavor Burst vitamins! At Walgreens: BUY ONE CENTRUM SILVER 100 ct – on sale BOGO 50% off $9.99 BUY ONE CENTRUM REGULAR 120 ct – on sale BOGO 50% off $9.99 use one $5/2 Centrum Multivitamins 100 – 200 ct or Flavor Burst 120 ct Walgreens July Coupon Booklet use one $4/1 Centrum Silver Multivitamin RP 7/13 use one $4/1 Centrum Multivitamin RP 7/13 Net Price: $1.99 ($.99 each!)

CHECK FOR PEELIE

We just got back from camping at Jetty Park in Cocoa Beach and enjoyed our time there. We already booked another trip in September and yet another next July! For those of you who camp you must check it out! The sites are small but we hand-picked the sites we wanted to be on the next time. OK...back to coupon news! There was a $1/2 peelie I saw about 6 weeks ago on Zatarains Rice. Check your binders to see if you have this peelie. It is not listed in the coupon match-ups. You will score some pretty cheap Zatarains Rice!

COKE CARTWHEEL

There is a 70% off coke cartwheel today only at Target. You can only do one deal but bring a friend and both can do a deal! Great price on coke!

DEAL ON MID'S PASTA SAUCE

About a month ago Mid's Pasta Sauce was BOGO and there was a PDF printable coupon available. It had a long expiration date of 8/31/14. If you have any of these left, you will pay $1.30 for a bottle of pasta sauce. I bought two last time but have not tried it yet. Has anyone else ever tried this brand of pasta sauce? I usually make mine from scratch like I did this weekend using 4 large cans of crushed tomatoes. But if I could get a good deal on pasta sauce, I buy it and doctor it up!

ANOTHER MONEYMAKER

Here is another MM for you! Buy Cesar Canine Cuisine at $.70 each on sale. Use the B2G1 printable from coupons.com. You will have to go to a database and print it because I cannot put the link here anymore. Print two of those and stack that with three $1/2 Cesar Canine Cuisine Trays RP 6/1. You will buy six and get $.20 in overage! Again, a nice deal to put towards your gas card total!

MONEYMAKERS AND DEALS

Go to www.eas.com/special-offers to get a coupon for $1.50 off any EAS product. The protein bars are priced at $1.39 at publix so you they are a MM! Every little bit helps when you are trying to get to the $50 to get the gas card deal. Also, if anyone in your house in on a low-dose aspirin , use the $2/1 Bayer coupon in the 6/15 RP to pay $.69 a box. Also, there is a printable SS coupon for $1 off Kikkoman Soy Sauce. Buy the small bottle for $1.19 and pay just $.19 each! Just a FYI for all of you who chose to shop at the SR 16 Publix...they are limiting Sundown vitamin purchases to 2 per person. On the flip side, they do not make you split your orders to use the $5/30 so I shop there!

DINNER AT CARRABBA'S

Check your email and if you are signed up to get coupons from Carrabba's, you will love this one! There is a coupon for $12 that is good until July 6th. You will get a 6 oz. sirloin and lobster ravioli plus soup or salad and vegetable for $12! That doesn't include all the yummy bread you can eat! Carrabba's has always taken their coupons for two weeks past expiration for me so you may want to print another in case you want to go back!

CHEAP JOHNSONVILLE SAUSAGE/BRATWURST

There is a BOGO coupon for Johnsonville Sausage or Bratwurst on coupons.com under zip 62946. They are on sale this week at WD for $4.99 each. The coupon says use at Winco in small print but it looks like it is still a MQ so they should take it. I plan on buying 6 packages and a banana to get me to $30. After using three MQ's and my $5/$30, I should pay $10 for 6 packages of bratwurst or sausage!

CHEAP LOREAL SHAMPOO/CONDITIONER

For those of you who like the Loreal Everpure Shampoo/Conditioner line, there is a good deal this week at Publix. They are on sale 2/$12. There is a $2 MQ and a $1 TQ making them just $3 each! I buy the color care one and I really like it! I have heard some people say it is their favorite kind of shampoo. I stocked up on Dove weeks back when we got it cheap but they did not offer a color care variety and I think it is stripping my hair of the color. Coloring my hair is not one of my favorite things, so I think I will just use that sparingly and go back to a color care product!

CHEAP BACON AT WINN DIXIE

The Smithfield bacon coupon has reset and is a high value of $1/1. Winn Dixie has the bacon on sale this week BOGO so we should be able to pick up a lb. of bacon for just $3. I don't know if you have noticed it, but the price of bacon has skyrocketed! I am taking this opportunity to stock up on bacon using my $5/$30 coupon!

SR 16 AND TARGET COUPONS

Couponlynn had asked a question that I totally missed! Sorry Lynn! Yes, the SR 16 store will let you use multiple Target coupons. I have not had any problem there. My friend, Margie, went to SR 16 because I told her they would not make you split up your order and she was able to use about 5 WD coupons at one time! That is awesome and in my opinion worth going to the SR 16 store for! Let us know what your experience is at the SR 16 store.

CHEAP PAM COOKING SPRAY

You may have noticed the posts have been far and few between. I just don't have it in me anymore to post daily or post all the good deals I see. It is just too time consuming and, frankly, not enough people read the blog since I have scaled down. I will try to post if I see a good deal! So here is a good deal! Go to wwwpamcookingspray.com and you will be able to print two $1/1 coupons! PAM is BOGO this week so we should get it for about $.80 a can. That is a great stock up price.

Want to get some Garnier Fructis shampoo/conditioner and Speed Stick deodorant for next to nothing? You can change up your scenario but this is what I did. First transaction I bought six Garnier shampoo and used the $2/1 from I think the 5/4 SSMand the $5 off $15 target printable on personal items. I also bought three 2-packs of a speed Stick deodorant. There is a 2/1 coupon from coupons.com and a target printable. It is listed under personal care and look for $1 select items and a deodorant is pictured. After all the coupons I got a great deal!

INSERTS

When you are looking for a coupon do you stop if you can't find it? For example, a blog may say there is a $1 coupon for Pedigree in the 4/27 SS and you look there and can't find it. I always go to the RP and look there also. This just happened to me when I was looking for a $1 Pedigree coupon for my daughter. The 4/27 SS was called "Paw It Forward" so you would think it would obviously be in there. That insert was loaded with tons of dog food coupons. But it wasn't. I looked in the RP and there it was. The moral of the story is to make sure you look in the other insert because you may find them there!

ETC UPDATE

Just an update on the ETC books. I have three sets of 10 left to purchase. If anyone would like a set of 10 for $25, please text or email me and let me know. The new WD coupons are now $10 off $50 and will expire 12/31/14.

MY AWESOME PUBLIX TRIP

It felt like the good old days when I dropped into Publix this evening after church. I did two transactions. The first I bought 9 Dove Shampoo/Conditioner. a 6-pack of Brawney paper towels and a loaf of deli bread. My total was $2.52. $1.44 of that was tax!! My second transaction was 4 BIC razors, 2 Sundown Vitamins, 2 Hellmans and another Brawney Paper Towel. This time my total was $.84. Yes, for a fleeting moment I was brought back to the good old days!

COUPON FOR PEACE LOVE HOME

In yesterday's Compass in the St. Augustine Record, there is a coupon for 15% off any one item for the store I work at called PEACE LOVE HOME. Not only can you use this on a furniture purchase and get 15% off, but you can use on jewelry, lotions, purses, scarves, and accessories. Stop by and check us out! The coupon expires on 6/12.

PEELIES

Be on the lookout for $1 peelies on the Brawney paper towels. They Re on sale for $5.99 so you will pay $5 a package. That is a great. Price so make sure you get a few packages! Zatarins rice is on sale for $1 each. Look for peelies all over the packages for $1 off 2. Pay just $.50 each
