105%, What!?

I haven't been couponing much and when I have it's barely bloggable. 33% savings? Who cares? But today I stumbled on a deal that I figured I might as well take advantage of... Big Cup O'Noodles were on sale for $.50 each at Safeway. Add in my $1/3 coupon and a Safeway doubler, and that makes them free. Then I realized I had in my possession a $5 off Frozen items coupon as well and my mission was clear: get a bunch of lazy-person food for the office and not pay a damn thing for it. I had three coupons for the noodles, but unfortunately, there were only 4 left…

Wicked Savings, Guy

  I'm back east for a week, which is exciting for the couponer in me because there are CVS's everywhere. For whatever reason, we don't have CVS in Portland, and so I am forced to miss out on the deals there week after week. But on a stop for gas somewhere in Southern New Hampshire, I found myself sitting next to a CVS that was just begging me to come in. With some quick internet research on my phone I found a couple money-making deals that seemed worth doing, but much like I haven't been blogging, I haven't really been keeping up on my clipping and organizing, so I was…

Blogging About Tampons Makes Me Laugh

This couponing thing makes dealing with getting your period way easier. Tampons are expensive, and it's clearly all part of society's plan to keep us bitches barefoot and pregnant. But ever since I've discovered couponing, I've paid next to nothing for the pleasure of bleeding every month, and that, my friends, is great! So screw you glass ceiling, society and all that junk, I am woman, hear me roar! Ok, but seriously, I saved 60% at Safeway last night. I got: 2 Boxes of Kotex Tampons (Regular price $6.98, on sale 2/$5 - $1.50/2 coupon - Safeway doubler ($.50) = Paid $3.00, plus got $2 cat for next time!) 1…

71% at Safeway

I wake up ridiculously early this time of year. It's not that I don't like sleep. I really, really do, it's just that 7 am rolls around and my brain starts going and well, Saturday or not, I'm up! Since everyone else in the world prefers to sleep in on the weekends, I figured I might as well take advantage and go do some couponing. Plus, Safeway actually had some good deals on stuff I want/use this week. I did two transactions and spent a total of $25.87, with a total savings of $36.03 or 71%. Here's what I got: Transaction 1 4 Packages Ore-Ida easy fries (On sale $1.50,…

Couponing in Chicago!

Traveling, working, all these things make it hard to score deals. I was bummed I wasn't able to take advantage of Safeway's $10 off $75 coupon this month (also b.s., it used to be $10 off $50) and thought I was gonna miss out on a good Dove deal at Albertsons as well due to my trip to Chicago. But then, Nick Lipton needed to return some DVDs and we needed beer so we headed on over to the local Jewel-Osco. I grabbed the circular and lo and behold, it was the same sales as Albertsons! I never leave home without my coupons, so I was set. Then, as an…

B-b-b-bargains at Safeway

I needed some Bacon bits for a recipe I was making, which required a trip to the store, so I figured, while I was there, might as well score some free stuff. Everything I got started with B, hence my super clever title, and here's the break down. For a total of $2.12, or 68% savings, I got: 2 tubs of Gold and Soft Margarine (Regular price $2.98, on sale $2.58 - 2 $.50/1 MFG coupons - 2 Safeway doubles = $.58 for both, plus I got $.75 back so I MADE $.17 -- I already gave one of these away since I really didn't need FOUR tubs of butter,…

Butter for Blogging

Dear Hipster Couponing fans (all three of you), I deeply apologize for the lapse in posts. I went to South America and was a little busy to try and figure out how to say "do you take coupons" in Spanish. I'm back now, but it's going to take me a little bit to get back in the swing of things. I have a large menacing pile of inserts to clip and I haven't been tracking the sales. But to tide you over, I swung by Safeway tonight and did this deal: Bought: 2 tubs of Golden Soft Margarine (on sale $1.29) Used: 1 $1.50 off 2 coupon and 1 Safeway…

Total Win at Target

Yesterday was pretty much the perfect summer day. We floated, we ate pizza, and oh yeah, when we stopped at Target to buy whiffle ball stuff, I got all this with some change I had in the bottom of my purse. I'd had the $1 off any coupons to pick up 10 Cascade items for a while now, but my goal was to purchase these trial-size action packs at Walmart, where they were not only under $1, but they will actually give you cash back if you have an overage. But after three trips and none in stock, I finally said screw it, I'll pay 9 cents each at Target,…

Clean Dishes at a Discount!

Cruised by Safeway on my way home from work and took advantage of this deal on Gain. I could have saved another $1 if I wasn't short one coupon, but still managed to get a good deal on some dish soap and laundry detergent. For $4.47 out of pocket and a total savings of 68% I got: 2 Bottles of Gain Dishsoap (Regular price 2.99- on sale $1.99, save $1 instantly when you buy three Gain products - (1) .50 off coupon - 1 safeway doubler = $.49 each) 1 Box Gain Laundry Detergent (Regular price $7.99, on sale $5.99 - $2 off coupon - safeway doubler = $3.49) But…

I did Target "free," but only because I had a $5 gift card to use. Today at Safeway though, I finally did it for real. My total was $0 and Bob was as excited as I was. He even yelled to next cashier over about it. Here's what I got: 10 Magnum Ice Cream Single Packs (On sale 2/$3 - 10 $1 off coupons = $.50 each) 1 Sunday Newspaper ($2) Then I added two more safeway coupons, on for $5 off a frozen food purchase of $15 and a safeway doubler, $2 more off, bringing my grand total to zero. Extra bonus, Magnum Ice Cream Bars are amazing and…

I'd had the $1 off any coupons to pick up 10 Cascade items for a while now, but my goal was to purchase these trial-size action packs at Walmart, where they were not only under $1, but they will actually give you cash back if you have an overage. But after three trips and none in stock, I finally said screw it, I'll pay 9 cents each at Target,…

Clean Dishes at a Discount!

Cruised by Safeway on my way home from work and took advantage of this deal on Gain. I could have saved another $1 if I wasn't short one coupon, but still managed to get a good deal on some dish soap and laundry detergent. For $4.47 out of pocket and a total savings of 68% I got: 2 Bottles of Gain Dishsoap (Regular price 2.99- on sale $1.99, save $1 instantly when you buy three Gain products - (1) .50 off coupon - 1 safeway doubler = $.49 each) 1 Box Gain Laundry Detergent (Regular price $7.99, on sale $5.99 - $2 off coupon - safeway doubler = $3.49) But…

100% Free

I did Target "free," but only because I had a $5 gift card to use. Today at Safeway though, I finally did it for real. My total was $0 and Bob was as excited as I was. He even yelled to next cashier over about it. Here's what I got: 10 Magnum Ice Cream Single Packs (On sale 2/$3 - 10 $1 off coupons = $.50 each) 1 Sunday Newspaper ($2) Then I added two more safeway coupons, on for $5 off a frozen food purchase of $15 and a safeway doubler, $2 more off, bringing my grand total to zero. Extra bonus, Magnum Ice Cream Bars are amazing and…

105%, What!?

I haven't been couponing much and when I have it's barely bloggable. 33% savings? Who cares? But today I stumbled on a deal that I figured I might as well take advantage of... Big Cup O'Noodles were on sale for $.50 each at Safeway. Add in my $1/3 coupon and a Safeway doubler, and that makes them free. Then I realized I had in my possession a $5 off Frozen items coupon as well and my mission was clear: get a bunch of lazy-person food for the office and not pay a damn thing for it. I had three coupons for the noodles, but unfortunately, there were only 4 left…

Wicked Savings, Guy

  I'm back east for a week, which is exciting for the couponer in me because there are CVS's everywhere. For whatever reason, we don't have CVS in Portland, and so I am forced to miss out on the deals there week after week. But on a stop for gas somewhere in Southern New Hampshire, I found myself sitting next to a CVS that was just begging me to come in. With some quick internet research on my phone I found a couple money-making deals that seemed worth doing, but much like I haven't been blogging, I haven't really been keeping up on my clipping and organizing, so I was…

Blogging About Tampons Makes Me Laugh

This couponing thing makes dealing with getting your period way easier. Tampons are expensive, and it's clearly all part of society's plan to keep us bitches barefoot and pregnant. But ever since I've discovered couponing, I've paid next to nothing for the pleasure of bleeding every month, and that, my friends, is great! So screw you glass ceiling, society and all that junk, I am woman, hear me roar! Ok, but seriously, I saved 60% at Safeway last night. I got: 2 Boxes of Kotex Tampons (Regular price $6.98, on sale 2/$5 - $1.50/2 coupon - Safeway doubler ($.50) = Paid $3.00, plus got $2 cat for next time!) 1…

71% at Safeway

I wake up ridiculously early this time of year. It's not that I don't like sleep. I really, really do, it's just that 7 am rolls around and my brain starts going and well, Saturday or not, I'm up! Since everyone else in the world prefers to sleep in on the weekends, I figured I might as well take advantage and go do some couponing. Plus, Safeway actually had some good deals on stuff I want/use this week. I did two transactions and spent a total of $25.87, with a total savings of $36.03 or 71%. Here's what I got: Transaction 1 4 Packages Ore-Ida easy fries (On sale $1.50,…

Couponing in Chicago!

Traveling, working, all these things make it hard to score deals. I was bummed I wasn't able to take advantage of Safeway's $10 off $75 coupon this month (also b.s., it used to be $10 off $50) and thought I was gonna miss out on a good Dove deal at Albertsons as well due to my trip to Chicago. But then, Nick Lipton needed to return some DVDs and we needed beer so we headed on over to the local Jewel-Osco. I grabbed the circular and lo and behold, it was the same sales as Albertsons! I never leave home without my coupons, so I was set. Then, as an…

B-b-b-bargains at Safeway

I needed some Bacon bits for a recipe I was making, which required a trip to the store, so I figured, while I was there, might as well score some free stuff. Everything I got started with B, hence my super clever title, and here's the break down. For a total of $2.12, or 68% savings, I got: 2 tubs of Gold and Soft Margarine (Regular price $2.98, on sale $2.58 - 2 $.50/1 MFG coupons - 2 Safeway doubles = $.58 for both, plus I got $.75 back so I MADE $.17 -- I already gave one of these away since I really didn't need FOUR tubs of butter,…

Butter for Blogging

Dear Hipster Couponing fans (all three of you), I deeply apologize for the lapse in posts. I went to South America and was a little busy to try and figure out how to say "do you take coupons" in Spanish. I'm back now, but it's going to take me a little bit to get back in the swing of things. I have a large menacing pile of inserts to clip and I haven't been tracking the sales. But to tide you over, I swung by Safeway tonight and did this deal: Bought: 2 tubs of Golden Soft Margarine (on sale $1.29) Used: 1 $1.50 off 2 coupon and 1 Safeway…

I was bummed I wasn't able to take advantage of Safeway's $10 off $75 coupon this month (also b.s., it used to be $10 off $50) and thought I was gonna miss out on a good Dove deal at Albertsons as well due to my trip to Chicago. But then, Nick Lipton needed to return some DVDs and we needed beer so we headed on over to the local Jewel-Osco. I grabbed the circular and lo and behold, it was the same sales as Albertsons! I never leave home without my coupons, so I was set. Then, as an…

B-b-b-bargains at Safeway

I needed some Bacon bits for a recipe I was making, which required a trip to the store, so I figured, while I was there, might as well score some free stuff. Everything I got started with B, hence my super clever title, and here's the break down. For a total of $2.12, or 68% savings, I got: 2 tubs of Gold and Soft Margarine (Regular price $2.98, on sale $2.58 - 2 $.50/1 MFG coupons - 2 Safeway doubles = $.58 for both, plus I got $.75 back so I MADE $.17 -- I already gave one of these away since I really didn't need FOUR tubs of butter,…

Butter for Blogging

Dear Hipster Couponing fans (all three of you), I deeply apologize for the lapse in posts. I went to South America and was a little busy to try and figure out how to say "do you take coupons" in Spanish. I'm back now, but it's going to take me a little bit to get back in the swing of things. I have a large menacing pile of inserts to clip and I haven't been tracking the sales. But to tide you over, I swung by Safeway tonight and did this deal: Bought: 2 tubs of Golden Soft Margarine (on sale $1.29) Used: 1 $1.50 off 2 coupon and 1 Safeway…

Total Win at Target

Yesterday was pretty much the perfect summer day. We floated, we ate pizza, and oh yeah, when we stopped at Target to buy whiffle ball stuff, I got all this with some change I had in the bottom of my purse. I'd had the $1 off any coupons to pick up 10 Cascade items for a while now, but my goal was to purchase these trial-size action packs at Walmart, where they were not only under $1, but they will actually give you cash back if you have an overage. But after three trips and none in stock, I finally said screw it, I'll pay 9 cents each at Target,…

Clean Dishes at a Discount!

Cruised by Safeway on my way home from work and took advantage of this deal on Gain. I could have saved another $1 if I wasn't short one coupon, but still managed to get a good deal on some dish soap and laundry detergent. For $4.47 out of pocket and a total savings of 68% I got: 2 Bottles of Gain Dishsoap (Regular price 2.99- on sale $1.99, save $1 instantly when you buy three Gain products - (1) .50 off coupon - 1 safeway doubler = $.49 each) 1 Box Gain Laundry Detergent (Regular price $7.99, on sale $5.99 - $2 off coupon - safeway doubler = $3.49) But…

100% Free

I did Target "free," but only because I had a $5 gift card to use. Today at Safeway though, I finally did it for real. My total was $0 and Bob was as excited as I was. He even yelled to next cashier over about it. Here's what I got: 10 Magnum Ice Cream Single Packs (On sale 2/$3 - 10 $1 off coupons = $.50 each) 1 Sunday Newspaper ($2) Then I added two more safeway coupons, on for $5 off a frozen food purchase of $15 and a safeway doubler, $2 more off, bringing my grand total to zero. Extra bonus, Magnum Ice Cream Bars are amazing and…
