Showing off my big Walmart haul

You know I don't go to Walmart unless I can help it. But, now that they are price matching Piggly Wiggly AND Target I have been there a little more frequently. I made such a trip to price match and get a few things that I had coupons for and I managed to save quite a bit and I wanted to share.

• 4 Oscar Mayer hot dogs ad match Pig $0.99 each, used $1/2 MQ = $0.49 each
• 3 Kraft ranch dressing ad match $0.99, used $0.55 MQ =0.44 each
• 2 Kraft american cheese slices ad match $0.99
• 3 Caprisun ad match $1.49
• 5 Wheat thins ad match $1.49, used $1 MQ/IP to get for $0.49 each
• 4 12pk Mt dew ad match 4/$9.96, used $2 MQ from Pierce's ad = $2 each 12 pk
• 6 8th continent soy milk $2.46, used $2 IP on each = $0.46 each
• 2 Hidden Valley ranch dressing $1.86, used $1 IP = $0.86 each
• 1 Sunbelt granola bars $1.86, used $0.55 IP = $1.31
• 4 Kraft 100 calorie pack cookies/snacks $2.50, used BOGO IP= all 4 for $5
• 3 Frigo string cheese $2.98, used $1 IP = $1.98 each
• 1 Angel soft toilet paper roll $2, used $1 MQ = $1
• 2 Pull ups flushable wipes $1.64, used $1 MQ = $0.64 each
• 3 Kraft 100 calorie cheese packs $2.16, used $1 MQ = $1.16 each
• 4 Tic Tacs $1.04, used 2 BOGO IP  = $2.08  for all 4 packs

My before coupon total was $86.01, but I was able to reduce it to $46.05!!!

I was able to use my normal budgeted grocery amount to pay for this and it left enough to pick up a few sale items at the store as well.

Share your good deals with me here and I will feature them on the blog! Hope you are having a happy holiday.

Another way to use that $2 MQ for Pepsi 12 packs!

In addition to using it at Piggly Wiggly (check out the previous post) you can also use it at Kmart this week to get cheap soda.

Kmart has 12 packs on sale for $3 each. When you buy four you also get a coupon for a free 12 pack on a future visit.

Scenario
buy (4) 12 packs for $12
use $2 MQ to = $10 plus tax
get coupon for a free 12 pack on future visit (my receipt said on June 1st )

Net is $2 each 12-pack after coupon and future free 12 packs!

Essentially the same price as Piggly Wiggly when you use the coupon,

NOTE: The coupon expires quickly so be sure to use it before it expires!

Another week is upon us so it is time to check out the deals. There will be a couple Piggly Wiggly deals noted at the end as well.

Also: Kraft singles $0.99 with ad, Capri sun $1.49 with ad and Miracle Whip $0.99 with ad are good prices as well!

Happy shopping

Walgreens deal this week

I made a run to Walgreens (since a register reward was expiring) but didn't find too much that interested me in their ad this week. Maybe because my home stockpile is quite large!

Anyway, I did partake in one deal as follows:

Buy 1 Hershey 6 pk $3

Buy 1 Honey Maid Graham $3

Get 1 free Marshmallows (store deal)

Subtotal is $6, but use the $1 MQ from this past weekends paper to get all the makings for S'Mores for only $5! Sounded good to me!

Pierce's and internet coupons

I'm not sure if I mentioned this yet....

Pierce's now accepts internet coupons up to a $2 value! This is major since so many coupons are available over $1!!!

They still will not take any internet coupons that are for a free item, or a buy one/get one free item.

At least this is an improvement!

FRAUDULENT COUPON ALERT

This fraudulent coupon is circulating locally AND nationally. Please check to make sure you do not have this coupon.

Usually when a coupon seems too good to be true- it usually ist. Using this coupon hurts all of us. The store where it is used has to eat the cost of the items. When a store loses money, they tend to tighten up their coupon policies and are less likely to accept internet coupons. I know a good deal is hard to pass up, but we must be sure to use our coupons the right way.

If you have any questions about this issue, be sure to check out the Frito Lay website FAQ's here.

Brakebush Truckload sale

Brakebush up in Westfield is having a truckload sale of their yummy food next weekend- May 14, 15, 16!

Check out all the detail by clicking here for the link!

Finally...My May menu plan is done so we can get back on budget!

Well, due to all the illness in the house during April I never got a monthly menu done.

As a result, the monthly budget was a bust. We relied on several meals of takeout and ate a lot of sandwiches too. Not that sandwiches are bad, but they were eaten fairly regularly for lunches and dinner.

But now I am feeling good and have my energy back so I need to get back onto the meal plan bandwagon. I now realize how wonderful my menu plan was to eat a varied diet, and to save me time.

Here is my May menu, omitting all prior dates of course.

1. skip
2. skip
3. skip
4. skip
5. skip
6. pizza
7. lasagna from freezer, bread
8. l: tacos  s: sandwiches
9. l: out to eat s: quesidillas
10. chicken, rice, veg
11. pork ribs, salad
12. breakfast
13. pizza
14. tacos
15. l: BLT's s: attending fundraiser dinner
16. l: ham, potatoes, veg  s: leftovers
17. chicken, stuffing, veg
18. some sort of Ham leftovers
19. fish, rice, peas
20. pizza
21. spaghetti pie from freezer
22. sub sandwiches and chips, fruit
23. kabobs on the grill with veggies
24. chicken, rice, salad
25. pork, salad, veg
26. hamburgers, chips
27. pizza
28. tacos
29. beef roast, tators, veg
30. l: hot dogs/brats, s: chicken on grill
31. cookout for the holiday

I am also sooo excited that we finally got our grass-fed beef from a local farm. It is delicious and I am looking forward to eating more of it!

Turning the P & G "Future Friendly" deal into a better deal! And JCPenney tips!

Courtesy of a fellow reader (Thanks Vicki!), check out how to use the prepaid mastercard deal into a *wow* at Piggly Wiggly!

for all those TIDE lovers out there, especially if you don't get to target often to get the free individual packs:

Good deal at the Pig today thru next Tuesday.

100oz tide is a decent sale price $9.99 $1MQ

Buy $25 worth of Procter and Gamble Products get a $10 prepaid mastercard.
If you use some of the other coupons from the P & G insert in Sunday’s paper or whatever coupons you have around, you should get some pretty good deals.

My scenario:
2 tides 9.99 & 2 $1MQ
1 12 ct charmin mega roll $5.99 $.25MQ
Total: $25.97 - $10 = $15.97
So if you compare percentages of the original prices to find out after deal price, you’ll end up getting the tides for $5.49 each and the charmin for $3.43…not bad! I'm sure other combinations could probably beat it but its things we use anyway so a nice deal.

And then, if you do the $25 purchase twice (or have other P&G purchases recently) you can qualify for the coupon book that P&G has available if you spend $50 before May 31, they’ll send you a coupon book with high value Q’s totaling $100…even better!

I only had the internet ad so I couldn't see any fine print that may apply...so check it out for yourself.
-------------

Also, I found out a few weeks ago that you can order items off JCPenney.com and have them shipped to Hoopla(downtown portage) for a lower shipping rate (and still apply a coupon code to your order) and they take returns from the website and the stores there...way more convenient than Baraboo or Madison. And, if anyone has any parties to host, Hoopla has 2 or 3 $1 tables with some cute things that might be worth checking out. lots of ballet slipper stuff and some other princessy things, but there are boys things also(i just didn't pay attention much) and adult things too.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - April 30, 2010 – Fort Washington, PA. McNeil Consumer Healthcare, Division of McNEIL-PPC, Inc., in consultation with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), is voluntarily recalling all lots that have not yet expired of certain over-the-counter (OTC) Children’s and Infants’ liquid products manufactured in the United States and distributed in the United States, Canada, Dominican Republic, Dubai (UAE), Fiji, Guam, Guatemala, Jamaica, Puerto Rico, Panama, Trinidad & Tobago, and Kuwait. (SEE RECALLED PRODUCT LIST BELOW).

McNeil Consumer Healthcare is initiating this voluntary recall because some of these products may not meet required quality standards. This recall is not being undertaken on the basis of adverse medical events. However, as a precautionary measure, parents and caregivers should not administer these products to their children. Some of the products included in the recall may contain a higher concentration of active ingredient than is specified; others may contain inactive ingredients that may not meet internal testing requirements; and others may contain tiny particles. While the potential for serious medical events is remote, the company advises consumers who have purchased these recalled products to discontinue use.

The company is conducting a comprehensive quality assessment across its manufacturing operations and has identified corrective actions that will be implemented before new manufacturing is initiated at the plant where the recalled products were made.

Consumers can contact the company at 1-888-222-6036 and also at www.mcneilproductrecall.com1. Parents and caregivers who are not sure about alternative pediatric health treatment options should talk to their doctor or pharmacist and are reminded to never give drug products to infants and children that are not intended for those age groups as this could result in serious harm.

Keeping Score

Wow, I need to apologize yet again to you folks. The posts have been light again due to--- you guessed it STREP throat!!

For those that are keeping score:::

4 - The amount of times strep has been our house since September

3 - The number of times I have been diagnosed with strep since September

2 - The number of times I have been diagnosed with strep in April

1 - The number of children that also has it right now

I am on new antibiotics now and starting to feel better. Everyone in my house has been/or is getting swabbed to find out who is carrying it and giving it to me all the time!

I will try to get the posts back on track next week.

In the meanwhile please forward me any deals you find so I can post for others. Also, if anyone is interested in writing any articles, I'd be happy to feature it here! Email me at kendralacrosse@verizon.net!
