About Us I am a stay at home mom with three wonderful kids. I have been married for over 8 years to my best friend. I am head over heals in love with him. He always supports my crazy "thrifty adventures". We have a lot of fun together. I was raised on a small dairy farm. Where I learned very young, the value of hard work and how to be thrifty in all areas of life. Growing up our meals were made from scratch. Only on special occasion would we get name brand cereal, chips, or any other fancy treats. Now that I am a Mom with my own budget, the basic foods always comes first. I too make most of our meals from scratch and take pride in feeding my family a well balanced healthy diet. I enjoy seeing how far I can make our budget stretch, and when I take the time to match sales with coupons I am able to get all those "fun & fancy" items that would other wise be out of my budget. Being thrifty has always been a way of life for me, but it has also become a real joy.

Coupon to look for

IMG_1339This is a coupon you may want to look  for at your local Albertsons.  On an end cap display of Sun Chips my local store had coupons for $1.00 off 1 bag of Sun Chips, it can be doubled….so only $1.19 a bag ( after coupon and double).  Great price for Sun Chips!

Free Chimichangas

IMG_1342My good friend Kim called me to let m know about his Thrifty deal at Albertsons.  As part of the the Chill promo ( runs till end of March) you have to buy 10 participating items and you will get back a $10.00 catalina.  Well it looks like the Jose Ole Chimichanga’s are printing out the Chill catalina.  The best thing is they are on sale right now for only $1.00….so buy $10.00 ( $10.60 with tax) and get back a $10.00 catalina so you get them free.

Please note that this is one of those deals that may not work at all store, and no telling how long it will print for?  If it does not print then there is not much you can do to fix it…but it has been confirmed to work at 3 local Albertsons.  I am sure the stores will run out soon… being that they are not marked as part of the sale they most likely have limited amount on hand.  But you may ask for a Rain Check and lets hope the catalina prints all month.

Thanks again Kim you ROCK!

Make sure you only buy Chimichangas it DOES NOT WORK on the burritos…hopes that helps.

Thrifty Deal on EarthGrain and Produce at Albertsons

earthgrain bread

Thanks to Patti for once again passing along a thrifty deal!!!!

ALWAYS looking for produce coupons.  Today at Alb’s I found a pad of coupons for $1.00 off produce when you buy any EarthGrain bread product (coupons were right above the EarthGrain bun display).  Unfortunately the expiration date is tomorrow……….aack……..and although we buy EarthGrain bread, I was completely out of their coupons.  So I came home and found a coupon for 75 cents off EarthGrain bread at http://www.earthgrains.com/OurBreads.aspx So I’m getting some much needed bread and free produce today or tomorrow!!!   There were also EarthGrain coupons on coupons.com for awhile if you printed them and 55 cent ones in the 2/07 Red Plum (at least in the Idaho Statesman).

You can use the coupon for the bread as well as the coupon for the produce, because one is taking the money off bread the other is taking money off the produce.  I have found it is best to hand over the produce coupon first….then the one for the bread.  I know some stores will not let you use both…but most will.  Hopes this helps some of you get a good deal!

Thrifty deal on Red Baron Pizza at Albertsons

red baron

Thanks to Cheryl for passing this along!

Here’s a deal I did this morning:

There’s an in-ad coupon for the Red Baron Pizza making them $2.99 each – limit 8. They are in the CHILL promo.

  • Buy 8 pizza  use the instore ad coupon, ALSO use 4 $1/2 Red Baron multiserve (from Smart Source  1/31.)
  • buy 2 Old Orchard juice
  • You’ll spend $22.50 and get $10 back.
  • $12.50 for 8 pizzas and 2 juice

… I like to have pizza on hand for the occasional quick dinner. Way less than eating out

Just a heads up, on the ad the Single serve pizzas are the only ones listed as part of the chill promo…..but the ad also states to check your local store flier for the full list.  I am not sure if they are listed on that list or not.  This may once again be one of those deals that only print  at some stores.  Till I see the list at the store I can’t confirm they will  print at every store.  I think $1.49 for a large family pizza is a great deal and was worth passing along.  Hope some of you are able to get in on this deal!

Get ready for the Post Cereal Sale

post

I told you a few weeks ago that I thought the huge post cereal sale may come this month at Albertsons.  I have had readers in several different areas all tell me the sale is suppose to start on March 17th, which is only a week away.  Here is the deal …..the Post catalina will only run the first 5 days of the sale….so you will want to plan to shop the the sale early.

Now the local store I shop at has always provided a “mountain” of cereal and I am pretty they will not run out…. But if you happen to shop at a store that does not always stock up for these big sales, you may ask them to order extra, or place a special order for you.  I do not know for sure but it sound like with sale price and catlaina you will be able buy them in groups of 5 for only .78 cents a box ( after catalina)

Now if you were lucky enough to get the Post Cereal coupons in your area, a few weeks back that will make them only .28 cents a box….and if we get double coupons with this sale…..They will be FREE.  You can get these coupons on Ebay, or other coupon sites, you may want to order them.

I just wanted to update you…..it should be a great sale, one that will allow you to stock up as much as you want!

Update on Chill promo at Albertsons

I know most if not all Albertsons stores ran out of the Old Orchared Juice they had on sale this past week as part of the Chill Promo.  I wanted to let you know that the rumor is the Chill Promo will run the whole month of March.  Prices on the items will change but the buy 10 get a $10 catalina should stay the same.  SO you may want to get a rain check for the juice and my hope is the catalina will still print all month long, allowing you all to stock up on this great price!  Hope that helps.

Still looking for Fruit Snacks?

.IMG_1244Just a heads up to my local readers, if you are still looking for fruit snacks the Caldwell Stadium store still has a large display up front.  I went in to get the Yogurt that is part of the ConAgra promo ( dairy shipments come to that store on Thursday) , and was happy to see they still had a ton left.  They are out of fruit snacks, but still had stickers, roll ups, gushers and fruit by the foot.  Hopes that helps….  The store was rather quite too…nothing like yesterday.

IMG_1246While I was checking out, I heard Maleeya say yummmm….I looked down and she had put her little teeth into a plum.  To bad they were almost $3.00 a lb….doesn’t she know to pick items that are on sale…haa haa haa!  It was really good, we ate it on the way home. But a good reminder buy fruit that is in season, or on sale that week.  You get much more that way.  I normally try to buy produce when is less than $1.00 a lb, each week you will be able to find items at this price.

Thrifty Deal on Crystal Light at Albertsons

crystallightonthego

Thanks to Adria for passing this along,

I just wanted to let you know that I was buying Crystal Light at Albertson’s just now and there was a Catalina for it!

Starting 3/1-3/21on Canisters or On-The-Go Boxes

Buy 3 get back a $2 catalina good on your next shopping trip
Buy 4 get back a $3 catalina good on your next shopping trip
Buy 5 ( or more)  get back a $4 catalina good on your next shopping trip.

Also, the On-The-Go Boxes are on sale 2/$4, the tubs were 2/$6 (I think…) AND at my Albertson’s, there were two displays in the front of the store with pads of coupons: either $1.00 off 2 tubs or $0.50 off 2 On-The-Go Boxes.  These CAN be doubled!  It looks like on 4 boxes they could turn out to be $1.00 each or $.50 each (with doubles).

Old Orchard Juice deal….EVEN BETTER

So this weeks Chill promo at Albertsons they have Old orchard juice on  sale for $1.29 ( grape, pineapple orange, cranberry), buy 10 get back a $10 catalina.  Which makes them only .29 cents a great deal, if you use  one printable coupons for $1.00 off 4 it makes them only .4 cents each.  Or with doubles FREE.

IMG_1235But I noticed in this weeks ad that they have the Apple  or Apple juice blends on sale for only .99 cents.  In the ad they are not listed as part of the catalina chill promo.IMG_1234But on a flyer in the frozen food section lisiting all the items on the Chill promo, they have Juice blends listed.  SO I decided to see if they would print a catalina.  I bought 10 juices, apple and apple blends…..and  THE CATALINA PRINTED.  So 10 things of juice, pay $10 plus tax get back a $10 catalina……which means FREE JUICE.

PLEASE REMEMBER that they are listed on one promo list but not the other…so if your catalina does not print for some reason, some stores may not honor it….others will.

Here are the links to the printable coupons

Use these with the Juice blends on sale for .99 cents, you can double them too…it turns them into a MONEY MAKER.

  • 10 cans of apple juice =$9.99
  • use two coupons for $1.00 off 4
  • use two double coupons
  • final price $5.99
  • after you pay get back a $10.00 catalina turns into a $4.01 money maker!!!

Thanks to Amber for this update;

I went to the Ustick and 5 mile store and they were SUPER nice and let me test to see which ones were working and which flavors were not. ALL the Apple Blend except the Kiwi strawberry Apple will work also the plain Apple works. So you can mix and match but at least at that store don’t include the Kiwi strawberry Apple. They also said they will be getting a bunch more in this Friday by early afternoon.

Huge Betty Crocker Fruit Snack Sale at Albertsons 3/3

Update***I was at my Caldwell store this morning they still have tons of Fruit snacks left.  But  will not be surprised if they are gone by tonight.  They had all five check out lanes full…all with people in line.  BUSY BUSY BUSY…..Make sure you ask for rain checks.  Some lady’s had cart loads 200-300 at a time…..so at that rate they will be gone soon.

bcfruitsnacks

Starting tomorrow at Albertsons 3/3 they will have Betty Crocker Fruit Snacks, Roll Ups, Fruit by the Foot or Fruit Gushers on sale for only $1.00 a box.  Which is a good price for name brand fruit snacks…but this is how to make the deal even better! Remember their is a catalina running on them till 3/21.

Betty Crocker Fruit Snacks 2/22 good till 3/21

  • Buy 3, get back a $1.50 catalina
  • Buy 4, get back a  $2.50 catalina
  • Buy 5 or more, get  back a $3.50 catalina

Here are a few deal scenarios for you:

No coupons still a good deal buy 5 boxes

  • Pay $5.00 plus tax
  • After you pay get back a $3.50 catalina
  • Get 5 boxes only $1.50 ONLY .30 cents a box
  • You can then use the $3.50 catalina to pay for another set of 5, pay $1.50 cash and get back another $3.50 catalina…

Buy 5 boxes

  • use  .50 off 2 coupon printable here, here, here, here, You can print them twice off each site, most of them say do not double.
  • use 2 coupon for $.50 cents off
  • Pay $4.00 plus tax
  • after you pay get back a $3.50 catalina
  • 5 boxes for only .50, only .10 cents a box

If you are lucky enough to find peelie coupons for $1.00 off 2 it will turn into a money maker!

  • buy 6 boxes
  • use 3 $1.00 off 2 coupon found stuck to the box at the store
  • pay $3.00 plus tax
  • After you pay get back a $3.50 catalina, turns into a money maker

My local Caldwell store has a shipment of over 7,000 boxes coming, but it will not surprise me if they are gone within the first day or two of the sale.  The sale price for $1.00 is only good till 3/6 but the catalina runs till 3/21……so all you have to do is ask for a rain check and you will be able to stock up on these till 3/21.  This will most likely be the lowest price of the year, so you may want to stock up ( but don’t go totally crazy, and remember to play nice…wink)

Free Toothpaste at Albertsons

IMG_1177Today while I was at Albertsons I noticed the Kids Colgate is on sale for $1.00 ( normal price $2.39) if you use the coupon for  Colgate Max White, Max Fresh, Total, Sensative, or Kids toothpaste, 4.0 oz or larger .75 off 1 (3-13-10) Smart Source-2/21.  It makes is only .25 cents….,with a double coupon it is FREE.

For some reason the coupon did beep, but once the cashier check the coupon it is for the correct size, and for kids colgate so it meets the coupons requirements.  The Caldwell Stadium store ordered 50 cases of this….and they are hoping you come STOCK UP!!!  They have a large display in the front of the store, if you do not see it, just ask for it.

Albertsons Double Ideas

albertsonsIn todays Sunday paper you should find a single page Albertsons ad, and on the bottom of it is 3 twice the value coupons.  They are good for SEVEN DAYS!!!!You can use 3 twice the value (double coupons) per family per shopping trip.  They will double any coupon up to the value of $1.00 making that coupon twice its value.  SO if you use a .75 cent coupon it will double up to $1.50 or if you use a $1.00 coupon it will double to $2.00.  They will not double a coupon for $1.01 or more. They will not double a coupon that says do not double, or not subject to doubling.

General Mills Promo spend $20 get back a $7 catalina good towards your next shopping trip (basically 35% off)

The fine print on this reads that minimum purchase is AFTER manufacturer and store coupons, this not normally how it works.  Normally you get the $20 mark and then bring it down with coupons and your catalina will still print.  I will have to wait until tomorrow to see how this promo is working?  I hope this is a one time thing, and not a sign of things to come.  It also reads limit i per customer, so I wonder if  the catalina will “roll”?    This makes what would be a really good promo….into an ok promo.
