New Food Lion deal!

I was at food lion today to get more Chef Boyardee and Hawaiian Punch, and I stumbled upon another great deal! Two liter Dr. Peppers are on sale for $0.99, and they have $0.55/1 peelies on them! So, you can snag a 2 Liter Dr. Pepper for $0.44 scent after coupon! That's a great price to stock up on some two liters! The peelies are bright yellow and very noticable!

Kmart Pictureka Deal!

K-Mart has an awesome deal going on right now! The Pictureka! card game is on sale for $5.99! There is a $5/1 coupon here. There is also a coupon for $5 off of a $20 or more toy purchase at K-Mart here.
Here's the deal scenario my sister and I used when we went to K-Mart today:

Buy 4 Pictureka! card games $5.99 each
Buy one other toy priced at a little over $1.00

Use K-Mart $5 off $20 toy purchase
Use 4 $5/1 Pictureka! coupons

Final price depends on price of the other toy you buy. We purchased a Pet Shop toy for my sister's daughter and our total was right around $3.00, so basically we got all that for the price of one toy. Your total could be cheaper if you chose a cheaper toy than we did, and you can use this K-Mart coupon on clearance toys as well!

Great Food Lion Deals!

Here's my favorite deal at Food Lion this week!

There are two FLIPs out this week that I've been using!

One is for a FREE gallon of Hawaiian Punch when you buy 2 cans of Chef Boyardee!
The other is for a FREE can of Chef Boyardee when you buy one gallon of Hawaiian punch! And YES you can use these together! You can print these FLIPS from here.

Here's my deal scenario and YES it does work I've already done it!:

Buy 2 cans of Chef Boyardee and one gallon of Hawaiian Punch.
Chef Boyardee is on sale for $1.00 each this week
Hawaiian Punch is on sale for $2.00 for a gallon
Total before coupons with be $4.00

The coupon for a free can of Chef Boyardee when you buy a gallon of Hawaiian Punch will take off $1.00
The coupon for a free gallon of Hawaiian punch when you buy two cans of Chef Boyardee will take off $2.79 (because this is the retail price of a gallon of Hawaiian Punch).

My total after using these coupons was $0.35 for two cans of Chef Boyardee and One Gallon of Hawaiian Punch!

This a great price to stock up with! My husband loves Chef Boyardee! He's a kid at heart! I will be taking advantage of this deal to stock up! The coupons don't expire until July 7th!

Freebies in the mail!

Today was a fantastic mail day today! I'm kind of addicted to free samples so I look forward to checking the mail everyday!
Today I got:
Free sample of Degree for men deodorant
Free sample of Jack Daniels Barbecue sauce
Free sample of RohtoV eye drops
Free Cookbook from Nakano, and a coupon for a free bottle of Nakano Rice Vinegar! YAY!
I also got a check for $25.00 from the Taco Bell Blast for Cash contest that I won a few weeks ago!

A few days ago I got a gift certificate to Outback in the mail, from a nice reader! So, now I'm thinking that me and my Husband might be able to have a nice night out on the town with out Outback gift certificate, or I also still have my BOGO Ruby tuesday coupon, and now I have $25 from Taco Bell! YAY!

What a great Mail day!

Wow! It's been awhile!

Sorry, it's been so long without a post! I've been busy with housework and studying and job hunting!
I just thought I'd give an update on how we celebrated our anniversary!
On Wednesday (which was our four year anniversary!) David took off of work early and surprised me at home with a movie that I had been wanting to see! The movie was not good, but it was so nice to have my husband home and to cuddle up with him, especially when I was not expecting it!
On Friday night we had a bunch of friends over to hang out at our house! It was a very nice night and I got to be hostess which is something I love doing! I prepared all the food and spent hours that day cleaning and getting everything ready! It was a very nice night!
We had wanted to go out to celebrate, but we couldn't afford to! However, I don't think we could have had a better time even if we did have money! We had a blast and I can't wait for our five year anniversary!

Harris Teeter SUPER DOUBLES Deals!

These are the deals I got at Harris Teeter SUPER DOUBLES today! Except for the soy joy bars, I got those at CVS today! My cat was very impressed!
My total at CVS for 20 Soy Joy bars and 2 Sobe Life Waters was $2.09 and I came out with $4 in ECBS!
At Harris Teeter my total before coupons was over $70 and after coupons I paid $19.47! A savings of about 72%. I was very excited with my purchases! There were lots of great markdowns in the produce department today as well!

Happy Shopping!

Completely free date night with the hubs!

My 4 year wedding anniversary is this Wednesday, and I can't afford to go all out celebrating, even though I would like to! So I've decided to celebrate every night this week, in small ways! Tonight we had an AWESOME completely free date! We ate spaghetti and meatballs and garlic toast for dinner, all of the items I got for FREE using coupons and sales! It was a delicious meal eaten by candlelight of course! We also used a free redbox code to score the movie "Valkyrie" for free! It was such a nice night, and it cost nothing, but made some amazing memories!
I'll continue to post about all of the "budget" date ideas I can come up with this week! If you have any suggestions please leave a comment! It can be hard to celebrate an important event on a limited budget, but I'm looking forward to making the most of this milestone!

Triples deals! $5 Dollar challenge results!

I did not do well with the five dollar challenge this week! I was doing it for myself this week, and when I found out about triples at Food Lion, I knew I had to stock up on the good deals! All total I spent $11.03 for everything in this picture! I think I still got some awesome deals! I'm probably going to do a little more shopping this weekend as well, because triples is lasting all weekend, and I'll post more deal pics if I do!

All total I saved $51.00, a savings of about 78%
I also can't wait for Harris Teeter SUPER DOUBLES!
I hope everyone was able to get some good deals this past week!

Harris Teeter and Food Lion Doing New Coupon Promotions!

In certain areas of south and central VA Food Lion will be tripling coupons this coming up weekend!!!(6/19-6/21) I'm so excited! Food Lion never even doubles, so tripling is amazing! They will triple up to $0.99, with a limit of 20 coupons per transaction! Check your local ad to see if your store is participating! I'll post deals as soon as I can!


Also, Harris Teeter is doing a new promotion next week. (6/24-6/30) Instead of tripling coupons like they normally do, they are doing SUPER DOUBLES, which means they will be doubling coupons up to $1.98 in value! This should make for some interesting finds, and maybe open up some new items for us to get at Harris Teeter. I don't know about you, but I find that I tend to get the same items over and over during Harris Teeter triples. Maybe, this type of promotion will enable a little more variety! I have not actually seen this Harris Teeter ad yet because it does not come out until next week so I'm not sure what the sales will be, or what stores are participating. I'll let you know when that information becomes available. Until then, you can go to Hot Coupon World and see what deals they are preparing for this event!

So get all your coupons together! It should be an interesting 2 weeks!

Grace!

I have felt the amazing grace of God so much over the past couple of days! My husband and I have been struggling financially for the past few months as I finished up Nursing school! Now that I'm done, it seems like we keep running into obstacles with getting my state license. It seems that the application I sent off two weeks ago has gotten lost in the mail, along with the cashier's check in it. So, I will have to send off another application along with another check. We were told by the bank that we have to wait 90 days to cancel the original cashier's check. Fortunately, I've been blessed with a very generous mother-in-law. We rent our house from my mother-in-law and she not only had patience with us being late on rent this month, but she is allowing us to take the money we need to send off a new check to the board of nursing out of our rent!
As I sat here thinking about how blessed we were to have that happen for us, I also got to thinking about how blessed we are that God allowed us to be in this living situation when this happened. We haven't been living in this house very long now, and I just thought about how wonderful God's work in our lives has been! It's not a coincidence that we are living in this house! God knew that these obstacles would arise and he planed ahead for us!
We've also been blessed in that we are learning to live on less BEFORE we have more! It is such a blessing to be in this situation because it has allowed me to learn how to REALLY stretch a dollar! This is a skill that I am sure will help us to save money once we are a two income family again!
There have been some amazing deals that I've run into over the past couple of weeks and I know now that these deals are God's way of looking out for us! He is so amazing! Just this morning I got a knock on my front door. It was a family who had shopped at a yard sale that I held two weeks ago. They came to ask me if I had more diapers because they needed some and I had a good price on them. I sold them a few packs, and was able to help them get a great deal and make a few bucks for my family! That money paid for my newspapers this week that help me get the great deals I'm able to get!
All of this proves that what the bible says is very true....God feeds the sparrows and if he provides for them how much more does he provide for his own children! I feel him surrounding me and everything I do all the time now! If not for the grace of God, I don't know where I'd be right now!

I just wanted to share this with you and I hope it helps you to see his grace all around you! He loves us so much and he truly does take care of us, even when I'm broke financially speaking, I'm rich is so many other areas of my life!
God bless,
Katie

New $5.00 challenge and great deals for the week!

This week I'm doing a five dollar challenge for my husband and myself! I was excited by what I was able to get for a friend last week and decided that, since we have such a good stockpile at our house right now, we could make it through the week on just $5!

I'm probably going to buy 4 papers this week because there are some really great coupons coming out!!!
Here are some of my favorite coupons coming out in tomorrow's Smart Source:
$2.00/1 A1 Steak sauce or marinade (I'll pair this with the FLIP for $2.00/1 at Food Lion this week to score some overage!)
$2.00/1 Purex Complete 3-in-1 sheets (These will be on an ECB deal at CVS this week and I've been wanting to try them out)
$4.00/1 Schick Quattro Titanium Razor (These will be an ECB deal at CVS this week)

These are a few of the coupons coming out tomorrow that I'm really excited about!

Internet Printable Coupons!

I wanted to post a list of some sites that you can find printable coupons!

Manufacturer's Coupons:
1. Coupons.com
2. Smartsource.com
3. Redplum.com


Target Coupons:
1. afullcup.com
2 .organicgrocerydeals.com

Food Lion Coupons:
You can go to www.foodlion.com and play games to get their weekly coupons or you can go here and print them from a PDF.

Sometimes, if there is a coupon I want for a specific product I'll go directly to that products' site and see if there is a coupon link on that page. Like, when I wanted a coupon for softsoap ensembles to use on the Target gift card deal this week I just went to the softsoap ensembles' website and found one! This doesn't always work, but it never hurts to check and see!

Free Redbox Movie Codes!

One of my favorite freebies has got to be movies from the Redbox! Redbox offers a code to get a free movie to everyone who signs up here. Plus, Redbox puts out a new code once a month and you can get the code e-mailed or texted to you! The best part is you can use the same code once per debit/credit card, so if you wanted to rent two movies with the same code you could, you would just have to get them on seperate cards. My husband and I do this a lot. We each pick out a movie and use the same code on his debit card and mine! You do still have to use a credit/debit card even though it's free because they will charge you a dollar a day if you are late returning the movie.

Here are some Redbox codes you can use to score some free movies right away:
BREAKROOM
DVDONME
REDBOX

Hope you enjoy some free movies! You can also check on Redbox.com to find out where the Redboxes are in your area!

This is everything I was able to get for my husband's friend using the five dollars he gave me last week! I got some pretty good deals! I got him the shirt at JC Penny, using a $10 of a $10 purchase, I paid $0.41!
The chicken breasts were some I got last week for free using the $2.00 off FL chicken breasts FLIP.
The Chinet plates were some that my mom got for free last week (She brought me quite a few packs so I'm throwing a pack in for him).
The Hefty sandwich bags were some I got for free at CVS with a $1.00 off coupon from a blinkie at Food Lion.
I used $1.50/1 coupons for all of the Kraft Dressings making them $0.08 each.
I used $1.00/1 coupon for the Frosted Mini-wheats making the final cost $1.00.

Food Lion shopping trip!

I went to Foodlion today to see what I could get with the remaining $0.80 cents I have from my five dollar challenge this week! I've been able to get some amazing deals for my husband's friend this week and I will have pictures up of everything along with a breakdown of how I used his five dollars by the end of the week!

Here's the breakdown of what I got him at Food Lion:
1 package of Food Lion spaghetti - $0.69
2 bottles of KC Masterpiece Original BBQ sauce- $1.67 each
1 bottle A1 Garlic and Herb Marinade- $2.50
1 package of Memphis Style pork ribs a little over 2lbs. - marked down to $3.24

I used:
1 $1.00 off FL spaghetti FLIP from here
2 $0.55 off KC Masterpiece BBQ sauce (these were peelies attached to the bottles)
1 $1.00 of 2 KC Masterpiece BBQ sauce FLIPs from here
1 $2.00 off ribs when you buy two bottles KC BBQ sauce from tearpad above ribs
1 $2.00 off A1 sauce IP coupon (no longer available)
1 $2.00 off A1 sauce FLIP from here

Total OOP (Out of pocket) $0.80, that's right EXACTLY $0.80!!! And I got ribs!!! One of my best Food Lion trips ever! It almost beats all the free chicken breasts from last week! I don't think I could have stretched that last $0.80 any farther! I can't wait for you to see all the other deals I got for him this week!

Happy Shopping!

Great Target Deals!!!

My sister and I made a trip to Target today to check out these two great deals:

We bought two and used 2 $2.00 manufacturers coupons from here and 2 $2.00 Target coupons from here for a total price of $4.00 plus we got back a $5.00 gift card!
