ARREST MADE IN THEFT OF SUNDAY PAPERS

As a result of the show "Extreme Couponing" many people are stealing newspapers. Some pay for one paper at the box and then proceed to empty it. But a lady in Springdale, AK, took it one step further. She went to a local grocery store in the evening when the papers were placed outside for pickup and she loaded them in her car! She said that she asked a cashier if she could have them and was told yes. She went back each week for 7 weeks, missing 1 week when she was on vacation. Apparently, the papers are placed outside for product accountability and were not available for anyone to take.

Eventually, according to the police report, the numbers of papers taken increased over the weeks. Their system predicts the number of papers needed for a location based on how many were returned. When no papers were returned for several weeks, the publishing company went to the grocery store because the sales figures did not match with the numbers they were scanning.

Overall, she took 185 newspapers over 7 weeks at $1.25 each. The total was $231.25.

All because of being in an Extreme Couponing Club, this lady now has an attorney bill to pay and an arrest record of a felony misdemenor not to mention the embarassment her family has to endure.

My two cents on this whole thing is that some people have taken this to levels that are unethical. When you steal a newspaper, you are taking money out of the carrier's pocket. He/she is held accountable for the newspapers. If you feel the need to get extra coupons, buy them from a reputable clipping service. That is what I do when I need extras. It is very inexpensive and you know you can put your head on your pillow at night at sleep!

PUBLIX 8/7, SPENT $46.47, SAVED 75%

This shopping trip was all about non-edible items. I took this opportunity to stock up on Advil, including Children's and Infants. My total before coupons was $144.95. After using my coupons my total including tax was $$46.47. My savings after sales and coupons was 75%.

This is what I bought:

4 Gortons Tilapia Fish
2 Skippy Peanut Butter
18 ct. Eggs
Biscoff Cookies - (impulse buy...you have to try these!)
4 Yakisoba Noodles
2 Lance Crackers
Bakery Rye Bread
5 Cream of Mushroom Soup
Romaine Lettuce
12 Geber Graduates
Bananas
2 Children's Advil
2 Infants Advil
4 Advil
2 Reynolds Foil
5 ScotchBrite 3 pk Sponges
Precise Pain Cream
4 Axe Shower Gel
4 Bic Soiel Razors (used RC)

If you have the Oh La La Baby Booklet, the Gerber Graduates coupon will pay you $.25 overage for every one you buy. I made $3 in overage just on the baby food and I will save it for my daughter who is having a baby boy in November! I found this booklet at the customer service desk at the SR 16 store.

The sponges end up being $1 for a 3pk and the Axe Shower Gell will be $1 each. Not the best buy because I usually get it for free. I love, love the Advil deal! Take advantage of this one!

CHEAP ADVIL

Looking for cheap Advil? Between now and the end of the month, take this time to stock up on Advil 50 ct. for $1.65 per box!! This stuff usually sells for $6.65 a box. Go HERE and print a coupon for $5/2 Advil. Then stack with the $5/2 Publix coupon from the Green Adv. Flyer and pay $1.65 per bottle.

You are only able to print one coupon per computer. I was able to print several from my computer doing this:

Sign in and give all required info and print first coupon
Hit your back browser and change your e-mail address. I simply did judiwampler@yahoo.com for the first time and judiwampler1@yahoo.com the second time. Every time I printed a new coupon I changed my e-mail address and my mailing address. Make sure you don't check the boxes on the bottom so your neighbors don't get mail from Weyth! If you do this, you can print multiple coupons from just one computer!

The Advil doesn't expire until 2014, so stock up your medicine cabinet!!

NEW COUPON WORKSHOP SCHEDULED

There was an error in the St. Augustine Record this morning. He ran an old ad and it listed Lighthouse Interiors as the designated place for the class.

The next class will be held on August 24th not August 17th and will be held at my home in Davis Shores on Dolphin Drive at 6:30 pm.

If you are interested in attending, please contact me!

CHEAP ZANTAC AND CHILDREN'S ADVIL

If you need Zantac 150 ml, 65 count use the $5 printable coupon from HERE and stack with the $5/1 coupon from the Publix Green Advantage Flyer to get a great deal on Zantac.

I don't know the price of a box of Zantac, 65 count, but getting $10 off a box will surely be a great deal!

Also, check your binders for $2 off Infants' Advil or Children's Advil. When stacked with the $5/2 Publix Green Adv. Flyer coupon, it should make for some pretty cheap Advil for the kids!

SUN DROP 2 LITER FOR FREE

Make sure you take advantage of this deal! Print the coupon HERE for BOGO Sun Drop 2 Liter Drink and stack with the yellow advantage flyer coupon for BOGO Sun Drop 2 Liter drink and get both for FREE!! Remember, you can print 2 coupons from each computer in your house.

Take this opportunity to stock up on soft drinks for your Labor Day Picnic. I hate to say it but it is right around the corner!

UPDATE: I DIDN'T REALIZE THE ONE COUPON IS FOR A 2 LITER SO THIS DEAL WON'T WORK.
