Extreme Saving: Cancelling Cell service

So, you've been noticing some good deals on phones. You want to make the switch, but you have an early termination fee to worry about. Sometimes these fees can be as much as $200 per month depending on your cell phone provider.

Look on you current bill to see if you can get out of your Early Termination Fee by checking to see if there is a change in the terms of service noted on you most recent bill.

Most recently Sprint changed theirs. This will be effective 9/9/2011 and they will be changing their administrative fees.  In order to not pay the ETF, you must notify them within 30 days of a change in TOS agreement.

Please see the sample script below:
"Hi, I'm calling about my current contract with Sprint and the increase in Sprint surcharges I read about in my August 2011 bill. The latest terms contract I sign with you was in ____, and under that contract, it specifically states that as a Sprint customer, I have the right to terminate my contract wihtout paying an early termination fee in the event that Sprint makes a material change to itsagreement with me, and so long as I notify sprint of my desire to do so within 30 days of such a change. This sprint surcharge increase constitutes a material change to the Terms and conditions agreement I signed, and therefore, I would like to exercise my right under the agreement to terminate my contract without and early termination fee."

**Please note: Sprint does NOT prorate your final month, so please be sure to cancel within the last 2-3 days of your billing cycle to get the most savings!

New to Couponing Part #3

Last week we touched on the coupon policies for Walgreens and Harris Teeter. It was great to have last week conveniently line up with triple coupons!

This week we are going to go over places you can get more coupons and Kroger.

Next week will be our final week, so if there are any questions be sure to post them below so that I can be sure all questions are addressed in my final writeup.

1) WHERE TO FIND MORE COUPONS. First, the Sunday paper. If you are anything like me you will forget to get the paper and that will be the week with the coupons you want. Huge bummer. I recommend saving yourself the time and trouble and go ahead and subscribe to the paper. If you cannot yet afford to subscribe, then go get your first few papers at the Dollar Tree (it's only $1 there vs $2 other places). It ends up costing as much as it does to have it delivered.

Clipping services. There are TONS of these online. Basically you are paying for the service, not the coupon. 
-http://www.thecouponclippers.com/

eBay. You can bid on coupons here, which can result in some really great deals!

Your Neighbors. Most people will only clip 4 or 5 coupons out of an insert and get rid of it. Ask your neighbors to give you their unused coupons.

Coffee shops. Most have a place to put already read papers into and lots of these people are only interested in the news, not the coupons...so if you are already there, check.

Blinkies. These are the machines that spit out coupons you find in the aisles at grocery stores. Take 2 when you see these and move on. If it is something you know you will use then get 2 more next time you go

2) KROGER. The most important thing to know about Kroger is that they will not usually accept more then 2 or 3 printables for the same item and that they will not accept coupons that are printed for more then $2. They double coupons up to and including .50 everyday. THEY HAVE NO LIMIT TO HOW MANY COUPONS YOU CAN USE PER TRANSACTION.

Their "offical" policy can be found here. Unfortunately, this is very iffy.  Each cashier has the right to be picky about it. So, find a good store that is good about taking your coupons and keep going to it. Personally, I don't even feel like the offical policy is worth reading. Generally it says that the cashier will not take the coupons if they believe they are not legimate coupons.

Farm Fresh Weekly ad and coupon matchups 5/25-5/31

Here is this weeks ad! It's hard for anything to look good in comparison to the triples that just happend at Harris Teeter. I'm going to be staying away this week.

There is an instant savings deal, buy 10 items marked and get an instant $5 discount. The prices in this matchup are BEFORE this discount. So, if you are getting 10 items, subtract .50:) Post your totals

WEDNESDAY ONLY:

Ritz Crackers $2.50
-Use $1/2 from SS 5/15
Final: $1.50 each

WALGREENS weekly ad and coupon matchups 5/22-5/28

Looks like a pretty BIG week at Walgreens! There area  bunch of great deals and quite a few good freebies. I will be lining up a scenario for the begginers at the bottom. Remember, walgreens couponing CAN be tricky sometimes, but is well worth it in the end!

CVS weekly ad & coupon matchups 5/22-5/28

I'm really excited about free nailpolish!!  CVS has started a new summer long gas program where if you purchase $30 worth of specified products you get $10 back in a gas card. It does not roll over week to week. This week, the items do not really look worth purchasing to get the gas card, but hopefully in future weeks it will!

New to Couponing: Part 2

Last week I did New to couponing: Part #1. We mentioned the most effective way to organize your coupons, and got your feet wet with shopping at Farm Fresh and CVS.

This week, we will do another begginers scenario at CVS for those of you that did not get the chance.  This week we will also go over the policies of Harris Teeter & Walgreens. Also, we are going to go over some coupon abbreviations, since I and many other bloggers use couponing shorthand.

CVS Weekly ad & coupon matchups 5/15-5/21

Ok guys, this isn't exactly the biggest ad CVS has had, but there are still a few pretty good deals.

As I mentioned in a prior post: New to couponing Part 1, this is the drugstore I really want you to learn for this week. Not only is CVS one of my FAVORITE drugstores to shop, but it is stocked full with freebies. Most people avoid drugstore shopping because generally the prices are high. If you pair a coupon with a sale at a drugstore, you can come out with many freebies and sometimes even a PROFIT. At CVS when I say profit I mean in the form of Extra care bucks. Extra care bucks (ECB) are coupons good for $$ off your next purchase. If you line you trip up in multiple transactions you can get your costs down. You will pay your initial bit out of pocket (OOP) and from that point forward you will use you ECB to buy what? Things that give you additional ECB, of course!! See the end for a scenario

$2 ECB when you buy (2) Scott mega choose a size paper towel rolls 6 ct @ $5 (limit 1)
-Use $1/1 from SS 4/3

Harris Teeter Confirms TRIPLE COUPONS!

Harris Teeter has confirmed TRIPLES for the first time in 14 months, in all areas!

What does triples entail? Any coupon .99 or less, tripled! I'm really excited and will have a list of great freebies and cheap stuff available on Tuesday evening. Until then, look through your coupons and online in a database for coupons .99 and below and print what you can for items you believe you will want/would be cheap or free.

Harris Teeter has a online shopping program, so you should be able to easily check for prices of items at their store without even leaving your computer.

Again, Print printables now, don't wait. They will likely become unavailable very quickly once the matchups start coming out for this sale.

Harris Teeter weekly ad & coupon matchups 5/11-5/17

Alright, here it is, the best deals I see for Harris Teeter this week. I have heard rumors of TRIPLES going on at Harris Teeters starting 5/18 in NC stores and I'm hoping that we will get this in Virginia. I will do a matchup Tuesday evening if this is the case.

Farm Fresh Weekly Ad & Coupon Matchups 5/11-5/17

Here is this weeks Farm Fresh ad. It's a pretty small one compared to usual, but still a few good deals! I'm really excited for .25 gold fish!

For those of you who are new and started out with New to couponing Part 1 here is the general idea of the coupon policy at Farm Fresh:
-20 coupons per transaction, per day
-Doubled up to and including $1 on Wednesdays
-Doubled up to and including .99 ALL WEEK
-Maximum of 2 like coupons per transaction (Example from below, I will only be able to get 4 bags of Goldfish with my coupons, I will have to pay full price for any more I desire to get)
-Coupons that state Do Not Double will not be doubled (this really depends on your store and cashier, coupons barcoded with a 5 are coded to double)
-.05 discount for each reusable shopping bag you use

During these mega events (buy 10 save $5 dollars) I like to put my items in lots of 10 in the reusable shopping bags so I don't have to worry about counting them multiple times. Saves LOTS of time in the store.

There is another instant spotlight savings this week where you save $5 when you purchase any 10 items. The prices listed are BEFORE savings and the ones in parenthisis are after. I will mark these (SPOTLIGHT).


There is also a free milk promo going on, buy any participating 4 general mills items and get a free gallon of milk on you next shopping trip. These items are marked (MILK). I have heard there are difficulties with these printing at the checkout, so make sure you keep an eye on it so you can mention it right away if yours does not!

Wednesday Deals:

Propel Water $1 (SPOTLIGHT)
-Use $1/2 Propel Zero
Final: Free (-.50)

New couponers start here, PART 1

Ok, I know I haven't posted CVS yet. My computer was down due to a nasty virus (which both of my computers got!) and I am just getting back up and on the internet.

I am doing a 4 Part series to New couponers start here all the month. Each week I will start you with a new scenario, store policies etc. Please comment with any questions

This week we are going to start mostly with what you already know and put a little bit of couponing backround into the mix, follow this step by step guide to get started:

STEP 1:
Make a list of commonly used items in your household and the price you generally pay for that item. The reason this is important is because you cannot know if you have a good deal if you just throw the items in the cart as you need them. Example: Healthy Harvest Pasta $1.49. This list will tell me that when I look at Krogers ad for this week that buying 10 at .49 each is a great deal and that I should buy as much pasta as I would expect to consume in about 6 weeks (this is usually how long it takes for another sale on the same item rolls around). There are coupons available for this item, however, if you don't have one it would be silly to pass up savings of an entire dollar for nearly 6 weeks!

While I'm at Farm Fresh....I think I'll get a .19 loaf of bread

When I went into farm fresh last I checked the Price of the Roman Meal bread and it was at 2.19. Today I have found that there is $1/1 coupon and I'm going to use it to get some cheap bread! Don't forget to print it twice, it won't expire until June 3 if you print it today from here!

Farm Fresh weekly ad & coupon matchups 5/4-5/10

Here is this weeks Farm Fresh Matchups. I'm pretty excited to go this week, which I didn't last week because I did so great at Harris Teeter! There are several deals I'm very happy to come along. My favorite is the propel 6 packs for just .50 each after coupons. I also think that .99 for a dozen eggs is an excellent deal. I don't know about you guys, but I have SO MUCH LAUNDRY DETERGENT! I'm still getting more, but wow, we have seen lots of great deals on this...stock up! Post your totals

There is a buy any 4 of certain dessert items and get $4 towards your next shopping trip. I will mark this promo with (YUM)

Remember:
Up to 20 coupons doubled per customer, per day. Limit one coupon per item purchased. Maxiumum of 2 like items doubled per shopping trip. Excludes coupons that say Do Not double (although sometimes the ones barcoded with 5's still will!)

WEDNESDAY ONLY:

Xtra Laundry Detergent 58-75 OZ $1.99
-Use $1/2 from SS 5/01
Final: .99 each

Below is a list of coupons you should be sure to print if any of these items are of interest (or might be) to you.

Government shutdown info

If you are like me, a military family, the threat of a potential government shutdown may have a serious impact on you and your family. I want to go over a couple of ways that you can manage until pay is back on track.

1) This is no time to discontinue purchasing your necessities, this will only hurt you more if this continues in the long run! Remember to use your coupons for this. Next week I will post match ups for all of the grocery stores in town (bloom, food lion, kroger, harris teeter, farm fresh...did I miss anything?)

2) Evaluate what your necessities are when it comes to food. You don't need to be purchasing prime steak cuts, or boneless skinless chicken at this time.  You can utilize a crock pot to make cheaper cuts of steak and bone-in chicken taste delicious. You can find many recipes on http://www.recipe.com/ to utilize and substitute a $3 cut for a $10-$15 cut you might usually use (although I would hope you are avoiding spending 10-15 on dinners generally). Can you drink water instead of soda...can you drink tap instead of bottled? Think of all the little things you can change, as convenience is NOT CHEAP!

3) Separate your meat as SOON as you get home from the store!  I usually separate about 6 drumsticks of chicken, 3 boneless breasts, and cut my roasts into thirds.  No need to waste it by only eating HALF of what you defrost!

4) Meatless meal days! How about that box of pasta in your pantry? Can you toss it with some sauce on hand, or olive oil and cheese on hand and some veggies to make a delicious meal still (broccoli, etc)? Try it, my family doesn't notice that we do meat free Mondays!

5) Look in the back of your freezer. Now is the time to look in your pantry, fridge and freezer and make note of what might go bad if you don't use it this weekend and use it before you lose it. Make a menu plan for the next week or so based on items and what you can make with what you have if you only buy something that is less than $1 vs spending 4 or 5

6) Check back on Tuesday evening, I will add a frugal meal plan! This will be less if you choose to utilize now as a time to use coupons. And I will continue to do so, until the freeze is over.

Farm Fresh weekly ad 4/6-4/12

Hey guys! I'm back in the routine of my matchups and I couldn't have picked a better week to be on top of this ad! Amazing, with some of the catalinas doubling shopping could be in for a money maker this week!

For those of you that do not know what a catalina is: this is a coupon that prints at the checkout prompted by the items you purchase.  It is good towards your next purchase for cash off no matter what you buy.  I had previously posted that these will double, but after my shopping trip I noticed they were barcoded with a 9.
remember, 20 coupons per person, per day. Limit of 2 like coupons doubled per transaction. Doubled up to and including $1 on Wednesdays and .99 the rest of the week. 10% military discount on farm fresh store brands!!

I'm stoked!
