Menu Plan Monday - Week of 3/1/10

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

Saved 79% This Week

Walgreens

Last week, Ann at Coupons Deals and More mentioned she was Walgreens weary. Yes, that is exactly how I feel. So last Saturday, I decided to spend all my Register Rewards. It didn't quite work out as I had planned. My husband informed me our son in college had taken all the razors with him back to school, so I ended up with a Register Reward from the razor my husband needed. And, then there was this week's Excedrin money-maker I couldn't pass up. So I still have a few Register Rewards to spend. I'm going to get them spent and go Register Reward free - someday.

Before sales & coupons: $51.02
Total spent: $1.28
Total saved: $49.74 for 97%

Target

I needed to buy dog food and had been waiting for my $10 Target giftcard to arrive from MyPoints.com, and then I got overage from the Gillette products. It all worked out perfectly. I hate to spend money on dog food.

Before sales & coupons: $50.46
Total spent: $8.84
Total saved; $41.62 for 83%

Dierbergs

I don't buy or use Hamburger Helper, but this week it was a small money-maker and I couldn't pass it up. I'm going to cannibalize the box and use the macaroni noodles for something else. I've heard it's a much better product than it was in the past. But, I still think I'm going to pass.

Before sales & coupons: $62.37
Total spent: $17.95
Total saved: $44.42 for 71%

Sappington Farmers' Market

Comparable Schnucks price: $10.43
Total spent: $4.63
Total saved: $5.80 for 56%

Aldi

This week, I found out how Aldi's double guarantee works. I bought a ham last Sunday because of an additional $5 off sale. The use-by date was the 28th. I planned on cooking and using it up during the week, so that shouldn't have been a problem. When I opened the ham on Monday, it was slimy. So, back to Aldi it went. They refunded my money and offered me another ham as a replacement. I chose to leave the replacement ham at the store. One slimy ham is enough for me.

Comparable Schnucks price: $6.75
Total spent: $5.27
Total saved: $1.48 for 22%

Weekly Totals
Before sales & coupons: $181.03
Total spent: $37.97
Total saved: $143.06 for 79%

Year to Date Totals
Spent: $329.29 ($41 weekly average)
Saved: $1128.48 ($142 weekly average)

Splurge Funds: $70.74

For those who don't read my blog on a regular basis, my splurge funds are the difference between what I've actually spent and my $50 budget. They are for those items I never find on sale or that I don't have coupons for.

Beer Rebate - Save $5 off Meat or Cheese

• Save $5 buy mail off meat and/or cheese.
• Minimum purchase $5.01
• Valid 2/5/10 - 3/15/10
• Valid to residents of legal purchase age in Missouri only.
• NO alcohol purchase necessary.
• Requests must be received by 3/30/10.

For those not familiar with beer rebates, you periodically will find a rebate offer with a beer display. In Missouri no beer purchase is ever required; it must has something to do with state law. The qualifying products are things you probably buy anyway. I've seen them for meat, cheese, salty snack, produce, soda and many more everyday items.

When I find a rebate form, I look back through my saved receipt, find the qualifying products within the purchase dates, fill out and mail the form, and wait for my FREE money.

I found this rebate at a Schnucks, but you might find it at any retailer that sells beer. If you don't find this rebate form this week, keep looking. It is fairly common that the forms appear very close to the end of the offer period.

FREE Build & Grow Clinic at Lowes - Build a Lowebot

Saturday, February 27th

From 10-11 am, kids can build a Lowebot at a Free Lowes Build & Grow Clinic. This clinic is recommended for kids in grades 1 to 5.

Register for Lowe's Build & Grow clinic online. The first 50 kids to register and be present at the store at 10am will receive a kit, apron and goggles.

Target - FREE Gillette Products

Last weekends P& G insert had some great Gillette coupon. Even better, use them to pick up Gillette Clinical Strength Deodorant and Hair + Body Wash at Target for FREE.




Gillette Clinical Strength Deodorant, 0.5 oz. - $1.99 (regular price)
$3 - 2/21/10 P&G
Final price: FREE or maybe a money-maker

Gillette Hair + Body Wash, 8.4 oz. - $1.99 (regular price)
$4 off 2 - 2/21/10 P&G
Final price: FREE or maybe a money-maker

I found these products on clear plastic shelves that hang off the side of the end aisle display, not with the other body washes or deodorants.

The coupon excludes trial size. I had no problem using the coupons. The body wash is definitely larger than trial size, the deodorant size might be open to interpretation.

Target's coupon policy states - "Coupon amount may be reduced if it exceeds the value of the item after other discounts or coupons are applied." Don't plan on getting overage on your coupon, but make sure you are purchasing enough other items to cover overage if you get it.

Best Buys - Week of 2/21/10

My "best buys" are: items for $1 or less, meat for $2 or less a pound, and a few other items that are at rock bottom prices. When I keep my shopping list to these items, I can bring home a ton of groceries for very little money.

Also, check out Other Grocery Stores in St Louis for best buys at the smaller stores.

Walgreens: Another Excedrin Money-Maker

Coupon.girl left this message in the comment section of this week's Walgreens deal. I'm posting it so no ones misses it.

"Hey guys, last night with the help of my hubby who I bribed with a gal. of milk and after going through ALL the boxes on the shelf, we found the Excedrin PM 80 ct. The price on the shelf says $11.49. I had it price checked and it was on sale for $5.79. So I was able to use the Free coupon which has a max. value up to $5.99. And I got the $3 RR. "

If you didn't request a coupon for a FREE bottle of Excedrin, you still can - check out the details HERE. It took about a week and a half for my coupon to arrive; it won't get here for this money-making deal, but you never know when the next one will.

Thanks, coupon.girl!

Schnucks Deals: 2/22/10 - 2/28/10

This has to be one of the shortest grocery lists I've ever typed up. This week's Schnucks ad is a great example of - just because it's advertised doesn't mean it's on a good sale.

Remember:
1. Schnucks doubles coupons .40 and less in the St. Louis area.
2. Limit of 15 coupons doubled.
3. Ask for a rain check if they are out of a sale item.
4. On a B1G1 sales you have to buy two to get the deal.
5. Items on a 10/$10 sale ring up $1 each. You don't have to buy 10.

Shop 'n Save Deals: 2/22/10 - 2/27/10

NO $10 off $50 this Thursday.

It's hard for Shop 'n Save to lure me into their store when they don't offer the $10 off $50. But, I probably will stop in to pick up the 10 lbs. of russets for $2. I've heard there was a bumper crop of potatoes this year, so we should be seeing the good prices for potatoes continuing.

Remember:
1.. Shop 'n Save does not double coupons.
3. Shop 'n Save accepts internet printable coupons up to 50% of the product retail price. (** I've noted coupons that are over 50% of the sale price in the match-ups.) Take a look at Shop 'n Save Internet Printable Coupon Acceptance Policy.

Aldi Price Check - Hams

February 21, 2010

I was quite surprised with Aldi this week. They didn't have any produce at a rock bottom price. I'm not sure this has happened since I've shopped at Aldi.

But, at the store I shop they had a special price on spiral sliced hams - additional $5 off. I picked up one of the smaller hams, a little over 8 lbs., and it ended up costing me about .88 per pound (regularly $1.49 lb.)

Edit: I was going to fix the ham for dinner last night, but when I opened the package I wasn't sure it was still good. I'm going to return the ham and find out how Aldi's Double guarantee works.

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

A Year of Saving with P & G

Do you read the comments on my post? If you do, I'm sure you are familiar with Shannon. He has a new blog, Save Me Save You. Make sure you check it out and say hi.

Today, Shannon wrote about Proctor & Gamble's A Year of Savings with P&G offer.

With proof of $50 in P&G purchases between 2/1/10 and 4/15/10 , P&G will send you $100 in coupons.

I hope everyone saves their receipts. I did a quick calculation of my P&G purchases. Between my Charmin purchase at Dierbergs, Crest & Aussie at CVS, and Fusion razors at Walgreens, I've already spent $35 (before coupons) since the first of the month. The $50 threshold should be easy for everyone to reach - with the deals from the drugstores alone.

Thanks, Shannon!

Menu Plan Monday - Week of 2/22/10

I have the February blues. I'm tired of winter and it's reflected in my menu plan. I need for the weather to change to spring. I keep thinking of lots of great meals for the grill, but I don't have any good ideas for dull, drab weather.

Monday: Ham, baked potatoes, pineapple, green salad

Tuesday: Baked Potato Soup, apple sliced

Wednesday: Dinner salads with chicken and mandarin oranges

Thursday: Ham & cheese omelets, orange juice

Friday: Pepperoni pizza, green salad, fruit

Saturday: Senate Bean Soup, cornbread, fruit

Sunday: Pork roast, mashed potatoes, veggie, fruit
