If you haven't shopped at Aldi, or it has been a while:1. Make sure you have a quarter to unlock a shopping cart. The carts are like luggage carts at the airport. You rent them for a quarter, and you get your quarter back when you return the cart.
2. Take your own bags. Aldi does not provide free bags for your groceries.
3. Aldis now accepts debit cards.
4. Aldis does not accept coupons

Walgreens December Coupon Book

The December Coupon Book is now available at Walgreens. Find them in the store with the weekly ad. December coupons are good through 12/26/09.

The coupons in the monthly books are Walgreens store coupons, even though they say manufacturer coupon. I've talked to several coupon friendly store managers, and they have confirmed the coupons in the book are store coupons, because they do not submit them for reimbursement.

You can stack a store coupon and a manufacturer coupon - use both on the same item, but Walgreens cashiers are not suppose to accept more than one store coupon per item. So, Walgreens monthly coupons are not meant to be stacked with other store coupons.

Menu Plan Monday - Week of 11/30/09

I was having a hard time figuring out what to do with the last of the turkey, so I turned to FoodNetwork.com. I love watching Giada De Laurentis, but I cook more like Rachel Rae and her 30 minute meals. So, I was excited to find a quick and easy recipe from Giada to use up my leftover turkey.

Monday: Giada's Turkey Bolognese, green salad, apple slices

Tuesday: Tilapia, long grain & wild rice, veggie, pineapple

Wednesday: Pepperoni Pizza, apple slices

Thursday: Biscuits & Sausage Gravy, orange juice

Friday: Enchiladas, chips & salsa

Saturday: Chinese Orange Chicken over rice, peas, egg rolls

Sunday: Pork tenderloin, mashed potatoes and gravy, veggie and fruit

Trade Your Register Rewards for Shop 'n Save Coupons

Weeek of 11/29/09

Again this week, Walgreens has a $10 off the Entertainment Book coupon in their ad. Pick up an Entertainment Book with this coupon for $25.

The St Louis edition of the Entertainment Book has (6) $5 off $50 Shop 'n Save coupons. Good through 11/1/2010!

Use the Register Rewards you've been able to acquire with money-making deals, plus a few fillers, and you have a FREE Entertainment book with $30 of Shop 'n Save coupons.

If your store is runs out of Entertainment Books, ask for a raincheck. Rainchecks don't expire at Walgreens, so you will have time to amass a few Register Rewards to pay for it.

Remember: Register Rewards are manufacture coupons and at Walgreens, you have to purchase at least one item per manufacturer coupon you use. This week, Christmas pencils for .13 each with the in-ad coupon are a good filler idea.

If you don't have enough Register Rewards or don't want to spend $25 to purchase a Entertainment Book, you can purchase one HERE for $19.99 with free shipping. (Thanks, CJ!)

Edit: A reader left a comment that additional books are only $15. (Thanks for the tip!)

Coupon Preview 11/29/09

Usually on holiday weekends, there are no coupon inserts in the Sunday papers, but this Sunday's St Louis Post-Dispatch has one coupon insert - Proctor & Gamble. And the Parade magazine has a $2 coupon on any (1) Huggies Diapers, 48 ct. or larger.

Some of my favorite coupons this week:

FREE Olay Body Lotion when you buy Olay Body Wash
$4 on any (1) Gillette Fusion Razor
$3.50 on any (1) Febreze Flameless Luminary Starter Kit
$2 on any (1) size Prilosec OTC
$2 on any (1) Febreze Candle
$2 on any Pampers Swaddlers, Cruisers or Extra Protection Diapers
$1.50 on any (1) NyQuil or DayQuil Product
$1.50 on any Papers Diapers or Pants
$1 on (1) Gillette Deodorant
$1 on (1) Gillette Shampoo, Conditioner or Styler
$1 on (1) Gillette Shave Prep Product
$1 on (1) Gillette Body Wash
$1 on any (1) Febreze Air Effects
$1 on (1) Oral B Floss Picks, 45 ct or larger (Use this coming week at Waglreens for free picks)
.25 on any (1) Bounty Towels or Napkins (Wait until Dierbergs puts Bounty on sale for $1)

Remember: You want multiple coupons to use when a product is at a rock bottom price. When it's a good coupon insert week, I purchase 4 or 5 papers and sometimes acquire more. At first, I thought it was crazy to spend money to save money. But I've always saved much more than my $1 investment.

DEAL$ and Dollar Tree sell the Sunday Post-Dispatch for $1. The early edition is published on Saturday and it includes all the coupon inserts. And they usually still have Sunday papers left on Monday. Find the Deal$ or Dollar Tree closest to you.

Saved 86% This Week

I didn't do any Black Friday shopping unless you count Science Fair supplies, and I sent my husband and son out for those. I love the Friday of Thanksgiving weekend - I look at it as my day off from everything. I don't have to get anyone anywhere and I don't even have to cook.

Walgreens

Shopping on Thanksgiving morning was great fun. I did seven transactions at one Walgreens and spent only about $1 total. I can't do more than several back-to-back transactions at one time. So, I did two or three transactions, took my merchandise to the car, regrouped and headed back in. I ended up shopping at a 24-hour store about 8:00a.m. since my regular store didn't open until 9:00, and found the best cashier ever. I know which Walgreens I'll be shopping at in the future. Thanks, Tonja!

Schnucks

I love weeks where I can stock up on items and still stay close to my budget. I won't be buying paper plates and cups for a long time. Maybe instead of taking Rice Krispie Treats to every potluck picnic next summer, I'll volunteer to bring the paper products.

Nestle Toll House Morsels - $1 Printable Coupon

Edit: Some people are getting the $1 off 1 coupon and others are getting .50 off 2. I cannot detect a pattern to explain this. It could be a random generator. Good Luck!

Register with or sign in at VeryBestBaking.com to print:

$1 off (1) Nestle Toll House Morsels
$1.50 off (1) Nestle Toll House Refrigerated Cookie Dough

You usually don't see this high of value coupons from Nestle. With both of these coupons, you should be able to pick up chips of dough for a great price.

Note: When I linked through these pages to print my coupons, the Morsels page said $1 off 2, but it printed as $1 off 1. And, mine printed with a 1/20/10 expiration date.

If you haven't shopped at Aldi, or it has been a while:1. Make sure you have a quarter to unlock a shopping cart. The carts are like luggage carts at the airport. You rent them for a quarter, and you get your quarter back when you return the cart.
2. Take your own bags. Aldi does not provide free bags for your groceries.
3. Aldis now accepts debit cards.
4. Aldis does not accept coupons
