Cheap Meat (That’s not actually meat)

Since I got a good deal on Taco Shells at Target, a taco night was inevitable and last night was the night! I stopped by Safeway to get some Morning Star Farms crumbles and take advantage of the sale (3.49 each) plus my $1 off coupons, plus the extra $.50 savings I had loaded on to my card. Then I ended up with an extra bonus: the cashier I went to double doubled my coupons, giving me the full $2 off with with the doubler, even though I was only eligible for $1. Win. So for a total of $2.97 (69% savings) I got: Two packages of Morning Star Farms…

Target Recon Mission July 4, 2011

How do you celebrate America? Apparently I go to Target and buy things for very little money. I was inspired to try out couponing at Target by a deal on Ziploc containers, which we actually needed. I also printed out a few other Target coupons for veggie meat and crystal light, just in case! Honestly I wasn't even sure what the grocery selection was going to be. As it turned out, they are in the process of turning the Mall 205 store into a full grocery and have a decent selection of packaged stuff already. I quickly realized they also have really good prices normally, not to mention lots of…

Thanks Sweetpea!

One of the rules I've set for myself is only purchasing one Sunday Paper a week. There are a few reasons for this, but the main one is cost (others being hoarding prevention and my desire not to prolong the life of the print industry.) At $2 a pop, buying a bunch of papers could start to add up and negate the value of the coupons, right? That said, I'm not to proud to take coupons from other people's newspapers. The only problem is, who subscribes the newspaper anymore? Even my parents have moved to the e-version. Today when I came into work though, the Sunday paper was still in…

Next Level Shopping- June 26, 2011

First, I'm afraid blogging about this is going to make things worse. Now I have not only incentive to get good deals regularly, but the more entertaining/ridiculous things I do, the better for writing about. Enter today's shopping trip. Cereal is a couponing staple, although between matching up the best price with what you have a coupon for and which kinds you will actually eat is quite the challenge. There tends to be little to no organization among the brands, but for this deal, I decided to rough it. I left the store with 62% savings and a total out of pocket of $8.84, and *ding ding ding* a free…

More Booze Coupons, Please!

This coupon business definitely requires some effort, and I was going to draw the line at sending in rebates, because I'm still kinda lazy, but then this little gem arrived. I'd say $12 is worth the cost of a stamp and envelope (unlike the Asprin rebate that would have gotten be back the 50 cents I paid.)
