Printable Ziploc Bag Coupons!

Love it when I see the Ziploc storage bag coupons!  Especially when they match up with a Publix coupon!  The Publix Yellow Advantage Buy flyer has a $1/2 Publix coupon!

Anyone thinking Ziploc BOGO??  :-) )  Let’s hope so!  But in the meantime, make sure that you print these coupons now, just in case.

 

 

 

Don’t forget to use your $8/2 Covergirl Face Product Coupons!!

This is one of those coupons that you will kick yourself if you forget to use it!!  The $8/2 Covergirl Face Products coupon from the October 2 P&G Insert is expiring today!  Plus there’s a $1/1 Old Spice Product (1.7 oz or larger) coupon from the same insert that also expires today.

You can easily use both at Walmart.  Blush is $3.74 each and the Old Spice Body Wash (trial size – 1.7 oz) is just 97¢!!  Both of these will be moneymakers!

You can also pop into Walgreens to use the $8/2 Covergirl coupon for a small moneymaker.  At our Walgreens last evening, the blush was $4.79 BOGO1/2, making the second blush just $2.39 … $7.18 total!!

Remember, though, that the P&G coupons are limited to 4 like coupons in same shopping trip.

A new episode ~ Do’s & Don’ts of Couponing video!

My children, Adam and Kate, are back again with another Do’s and Don’ts of Couponing Video!  This one tackles the challenge of coupon theft and coupon fraud.  Here in South Florida, as is reportedly happening all over the country, we’re having incidents of people literally stealing the coupons out of the newspaper boxes. So, they took this idea and developed their own version of what was happening.  It’s a “tongue in cheek” look at the pitfalls of coupon theft and fraud!   :lol:

I’m really amazed that they care enough about what I do to put the time and effort into creating these videos.  They do it all, from writing the script, filming, editing, music, etc.  Billie & I just show up & try to say the few lines we have without completely messing it up!  They have fun doing the videos ~ hope that you get a little chuckle from them, too!!

To see the latest Do’s and Don’ts of Couponing, click the picture below:

Thanks, Kate & Adam!!

 

 

 

Missing Inserts AGAIN!!!!

 

Billie & I just spent about 2 hours chasing down newspapers with ALL of today’s inserts!  I have to say, this is getting crazy!  I looked at the Miami Herald on Saturday (sold at Publix) and once again, they only had the Red Plum insert.

So I thought, OK, I’ll get the Sun Sentinel on Sunday.  Right?? ~ WRONG!!  Thought I was being a smart couponer  … bought my Ricola’s @ Walgreens first, then was going to use the $2 RRs to buy my newspapers.  WRONG AGAIN!!  At the 2 Broward Wags I went to, they had the Sun Sentinel, with only the Red Plum and Smart Source … NO P&G!!!!  EVEN in the sealed plastic pouches!!   The Palm Beach Post that they had did contain all 3 inserts, but I didn’t want to pay $2 for the Post.

So, we thought, let’s just pick up the Sun Sentinel in Boca.  Found out that the Sun Sentinel Palm Beach edition is marked at $2 each (rings up at $1.89).  AND guess what … the PB version of the Sun Sentinel DID have all 3 inserts!

The FINAL straw was that I FORGOT my 50¢ Sun Sentinel coupons at home!!!! :cry:

Bottom line with all of this is BUYER BEWARE!!  There are NO guarantees that the newspaper you pick up at the store is going to have any of the coupons!

Anyone else experiencing similar problems?

Heads up on a Super Coupon Weekend + Sun Sentinel Coupon!!!

Hey everyone, in between the rain drops (here in South Florida) or before  the snowstorm (for our friends up north), you might want to pick up several extra newspapers this weekend!   It’s going to be a good one, especially in the P&G department!!  Rumor has it we should be seeing a $2 on any Tide coupon, along with some nice Schick Razor coupons and much more!

For our South Florida friends, especially, remember that the Schick razor coupons never seem to be in the Sun Sentinel … I’d love to know why.  So check for those Schick coupons in the Red Plum before you buy your papers!

Remember, it’s always best to buy your newspapers in multiples of 2 ~ for the BOGO deals!

Plus, here’s a great coupon ~ the best … a coupon to help you get more coupons!  This is the final weekend for the Sun Sentinel MQ ~ 50¢/1 Sun Sentinel Sunday newspaper.  Click here to print your coupon.
