Woeful Wednesday: August 31

I learned some very sad news today.  McDonald's has raised the price of my favorite treat from 49cts. to 74cts.  For an ice cream addict such as myself, this is a tragedy :)

I guess that just means I'll have to be even more diligent about saving money with coupons, so that I can still finance my habit :)

So here are this week's Dillons match ups.  I have only listed items that have a coupon, and that are more than 50% off.  They are having a $4 off 4 Procter and Gamble products.  I will put a * by prices that reflect this 4 off 4 deal.
Gillette Body Wash-$2 coupon from the Proctor and Gamble insert of 7/31.  This coupon was in both the Star and the News Leader.  *qualifies for 4 off 4--this makes this item FREE.
Oral B Advantage Toothbrush--75 ct. coupon from the P & G insert of 7/31.  *4 off 4--cost is 99cts--75% off

Stacking Savings, August 30th

 One thing that every "good" couponer does is "stack" coupons.  This means using a store coupon with a manufacturer's coupon.

I find that Target and Walgreens are the best stores to coupon stack.  Walgreens has a monthly coupon book that you can pick up at stands that are right by the weekly ads.  Target has their coupons on their website, so they are a little more difficult in the fact that they have to be printed.

Today's great "stackable" deal is:  visit London Rimmel Products on Facebook.  Like them and you can print off a coupon for $2.  Use that with the Target coupon, and the eyeshadow is practically free.  You do have to hurry though, because these high value printable coupons, have a limited number of prints, so they go fast.

Have a Tightwad Tuesday :)

M&M Monday :) August 29th

Walgreens is having a super deal on my favorite candy, M&M's.  Buy 4 bags for $10, get a $5 Register Reward.  This makes each bag only $1.25.  Use the $1off 2 coupon from this Sunday's KC Star, and you are only paying $1 a bag.  If you have 2 coupons from the Star (meaning you bought 2 copies) and you are only paying 75cts.  These are the 11 or 12 oz. bags.  Life is GOOD :)

When I come across a really great deal, like the one above---I send out an email to let everyone know.  If you know someone who would like to be included on that notification list, have them email me at booklady500@aol.com

Have a Sweet Monday,
Cindy

We Can All Use a Hand: Thursday, August 25th

As times get tough, we see more and more people at stoplights and corners with a "work for food" sign.  Some I'm sure are panhandlers, but how do you know?  I'm trying to err on the side of good intentions.  I would never give money.  From working in areas of high poverty, I know that money often goes to cigarettes, alcohol, etc.  But the other day, I had an inspiration.

I told everyone a few weeks ago, how I'd gotten several canisters of Pringles from Walgreens for less than $1.  I had some in my back seat, and the last 2 men I've seen at corners---I've stuck a can of Pringles out the window.  I'm sure they wished it was a $10 bill :), but both were very appreciative.

Think what a great world it would be, if we all just gave each other a can of Pringles:)

There are 3 great coupons at krazycouponlady.com 
One for Staples, one for Shoe Carnival, and one for New York and Co.
These should come in handy for back to school shopping, and updating your fall wardrobe.  Yes, I can almost feel fall in the air.  Such a relief from the horrible summer we had.

Here's wishing you a can of Pringles :)
Cindy
