Baby Picture Frames

This might break "blog rules" but I told my friend, Tiffany, from Waco I'd pass on her lovely custom made picture frames. There seem to be an influx of babies being born so these might make cute gifts if you want to do something out of the ordinary.

Disney $2.99 Sweatshirt

I'm not a big user of thedisneystore.com, but I read about a deal for $2.99 clearance sweatshirts and checked it out. I bought one for a niece-- the only ones left when I saw were XXS and XS, but if you have little guys, it's a real deal. If you use ebates.com, you can link to the site through there and get some cash back too (this didn't work for me, but I'm trying to get it worked out for the rest of the Christmas season).

Just go to disneystore.com and search for sweatshirt. Sort by price low to high, and you'll find them. There were boys and girls designs.

Tons of Target Toy coupons

There are lots of new Target Toy Coupons that are good this month for your early Christmas shopping - think about your own kids and charity gifts like Angel Tree!

You might also try matching them with some MFR coupons from retailers like Hasbro and LeapFrog for even greater savings! Check out Hip2Save for great matchups (also read comments on this page for even more ideas and real-life situations)

(Does anyone know if Target puts out a Toy Book around this time of year like ToysRUs?)

Double Coupons return?

According to our friends at Abundant Food Savings, Kmart coupon doubling is returning next week. Apparently there has been some disagreement over which stores are participating, so we'll have to wait and see. Here's keeping my fingers crossed for next week.

Price Chopper/Hen House deals

I thought this was a good week for grocery stock-up, as all three of the ads I watch (Hen House, Price Chopper and HyVee) were having some good deals. PC and HH had a special coupon section attached to their ads-- those are considered MANUFACTURER ads, so they cannot be stacked with a coupon you may have cut from the paper or whatever. The other thing is that when they ring up the coupons, it will only take the coupon off ONE item. So, if you buy multiples of whatever is on special, ask the clerk to scan the coupon multiple times-- it will work. Or, she may ask you to provide more than one coupon, so just run to the front and grab the number of ads you need. There are some terrific deals with those coupons, more than you get typically.

I went to PC and saved 50% on my total order. I only bought two things that weren't on sale, though, so that always helps. Here re a few examples:

Kraft american singles: PC sale price $1.99 - $1.00 in-ad coupon = $.99!
Oscar Meyer Deli Selects: PC sale price $2.00 - $2.00 in-ad coupon= $.99!
*I'm going to try to freeze these-- I've done everything but deli meat before, so I hope it works!*
DiGiorno Frozen Pizzas: PC sale price $5.99 - $3.00 in-ad coupon = $2.99
Pepsi 2 litres: $.99 (It's 88 at Hyvee and Hen House)
Keebler crackers are all 50% off!
Planter Peanuts: 2.79 each - $3/2 = $2.58 for two!
Quaker Instant Oatmeal (even the high fiber one) - PC sale price $1.98 (quaker coupons have been in the papers lately)

Anyway, it was a good week. Hyvee has lots of deals too, if I go make good on any of them, I'll let you know.

Fabulous Time-Saving Coupon website!

The September issue of All You had a blurb about a website to help with couponing so I thought I'd check it out. Glad I did because it's awesome.

www.coupontom.com

This site not only allows you to type in items to see what coupons are available, but it also links you to clip and print coupons linked from all the major coupon websites. It also has a cool feature where you can make your grocery list and click on the item to see what coupons are available. Another feature is weekly insert schedule. I think this could help your coupon matching time shorten even more.

Huge Meat Sale

I heard a rumor that there's a huge meat sale at the Price Chopper on Woods Chapel today and tomorrow. This is limited to that store only. Last week Belton's PC had one and they completely sold out of meat. Might be worth checking out.
