ANOTHER INSPIRING E-MAIL

I received this e-mail and wanted to share it with everyone. It's e-mails like these that make me happy to know that I have helped people save so much money with their grocery budget.


Hi Judi,
This is Priscilla although you probably don't remember me. I took your class a little over a year ago and it has been a tremendous blessing. With your help I have been able to save my family over hundreds of dollars.

I was just thinking of you and where my couponing journey started. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart!

GAS CARD DEAL BACK AGAIN STARTING 3/10/11

Woo Hoo!! The gas card deal is coming back again next week starting 3/10/11. Get out all those rainchecks you have been holding to bring your grocery total up before coupons to get more gas cards! For every $25 you purchase, you will be able to buy a $50 gas card for $40. I will be pulling out all the rainchecks so I can buy as many gas cards as possible. You are going to buy the gas anyways so why not save $10 on a $50 purchase. My car easily will take $50 worth of gas!!

Also next week Hebrew National Beef Franks will be BOGO. If you use two $1/1 Yellow Advantage Flyer coupon from 1/22, you will pay about $1.60 per package!

A FEW MORE DEALS

Aleve is on sale this week at Publix for $2.99 for the 50 ct. gel tablets. Go here and print a $2/1 coupon to get Aleve for only $.99 per box. Wait!!! It gets even better!! If your store will take an expired Publix coupon, use the $5/2 coupon from the Sweetheart Savings Green Adv. Flyer. Make sure you print 2 coupons and score some FREE Aleve!!

...and yet another deal...

Make sure you print the coupon for Buy Ore-Ida Steam-n-Mash product and get a Heinz Homestyle Gravy for FREE. Use the coupon from the Toss for Cash Booklet for Get a Ore-Ida product FREE wyb 2 Ore-Ida products. In the same booklet there is also a coupon for $2 off wyb 1 Gravy and 1 Steam-n-Mash.

You will get 3 bags of Steam-n-Mash, and 2 jars of gravy for $6, just $1.50 per item!

CHANGES POSSIBLY IN THE AIR FOR WD??

Tonight we ran into Winn Dixie to pick up some heavy whipping cream for a recipe. Winn Dixie was the closest store and we didn't feel like going up the road to Publix. I decided to buy a pound of american cheese and then realized after I paid for it they overcharged me by $1.35!!! I went up to the front desk and talked to the manager. He was very nice and refunded me my money. I asked him if WD was ever going to take competitor coupons like Publix and Walmart. He said they had just been talking about it in this mornings meeting! What a shock!! He said they have never talked about that before so who knows what can happen! Maybe WD will jump on the bandwagon and we can add another to the list!!!

I still have to admit that Publix will always be my favorite!!

CVS 2/27/11

I ran into CVS on Monday to get a few things. I did two transactions using different cards. I ended up spending $1.38 for 2 Oral B Power Toothbrushes, 1 Softsoap Body Wash, and 1 Crest Pro Health Rinse and got back $2.00, $3.29, and $6.00 in ECB's.

My second card was the same items purchased except the body wash and I spent $.96 OOP and got back $3.29 and $6.00 in ECB's!!!

LOVE shopping at the drugstores for FREEBIES!!

LAST MINUTE SNAPPLE DEAL

I know it is last minute and you will only have Wednesday (tomorrow) to do this deal. If you have time and your store will take an expired Publix coupon, buy the Diet Snapple Tea 6 ct. 16 oz. bottles and stack with two $1/1 Publix coupon from the All The Trimmings Book along with two MQ's from the 1/30 SS. You will pay only $1 per 6 pack.

Thanks to my good friend Bev for bringing this one to my attention!

FEBRUARY TOTALS

My totals are done for the month of February. I didn't post a few of my trips because I was having computer issues. Most of them had plenty of canned beans and tomatoes in the scenerio. I spent $162.31 at the grocery store for the month of February but ended up with enough beans and tomatoes to last me the better part of the year! My drugstore spending totaled $11.50 and I still have RR's and ECB's to roll.

I don't think I will be doing much shopping next week because the ad doesn't have much for me. I'll take that as an opportunity to take a break and use from the stockpile!
