Sorry I was MIA!

Sorry I've been sorta MIA the past few days. I was planning to post the matchups for Farm Fresh and HT early am Wednesday, but some things have come up with my son that I have to handle...after all my kids are my full time job.  I have been spending some time chewing over what has occurred and let you guys know so you can understand at a later date when I have all my ducks in a row with the solution (or hopeful solution). I will be posting the CVS, Walgreens, and Kroger ads Saturday evening.  I will also post the target ad if there are any promising deals.  I will be sure to post the Farm Fresh and HT ads...not that it makes it any better, but after reviewing the ads, the deals weren't that great anyhow!

Thanks for understanding

An FYI to military and their families

There has been quite a bit of talk about overages with coupons since the new show "extreme couponing" aired on TLC(did anyone tivo this...please? I don't have cable).  Specifically I want to mention the commissary because they will glady accept overages since they still get their money when you use your coupons.  It has come to my attention in another blog that I read from time to time that there are "shelf clearers" at the bases locally (specifically the items that give overages).  I'm bringing this up because there is no reason to clear a shelf if you have multiple coupons. You can preorder all of your items using the upc at customer service and still leave others on the shelf for people that do not have a stockpile.  Most grocery stores will allow you to preorder so that other customers can still get items without their shelves emptying as well (isn't this exciting news? was for me!).

:)

Meal Plan 1/20-1/23

Whew, Talk about WAY behind with the menu plan this week! I had at least been planning to put it up earlier this morning...not that it counts. I spent a good portion of my morning trying to figure out why the lightswitch wouldnt turn the light or the fan off on my main ceiling fan. I checked the circuit breakers and everything! Turns out I had turned it off by the pull switch last night, go figure. That will be an interesting story to tell my husband tonight when he gets back!

Anyway, I will be using some of the garden delights pasta that were in the matchups for farm fresh yesterday. If you didn't get it, then just substitute any other type of pasta you have on hand.  Speaking of the garden delights..have any of you all tried it? It's pretty interesting, it has a full serving of veggies in every 4 oz!

Thursday:
Dinner: Hamburger helper, Steamed broccoli and texas toast

Friday:
Breakfast: Bagels with cream cheese and blueberries (I still have some from the sale at HT since we eat them frozen here)
Lunch: Sandwiches and strawberries (on sale for $3.50 @ Farm fresh this week)
Dinner: Chicken on the grill, lima beans, corn

Saturday:
Breakfast: eggs, bacon, english muffins
Lunch: meatballs veggies(this is my sons bday party so we will just have lots of selection
Dinner: 1 pkg ronzoni garden delight penne rigate
1/2 lb boneless skinless chicken breast
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 1/2 tsp minced garlic
1 tsp grated lemon rind
chopped parsely

Cook pasta. Cut chicken in half then crosswise 3 times. to make 8 pieces. Brown chicken in a large nonstick skillet generously coated with vegetable spray or oil. add lemon juice, chicken stock, minced garlic, and 1 teaspoon grated lemon rind. simmer until chicken is tender. toss with hot cooked penne and chopped parsley. makes 6 servings (off box)

My Farm Fresh deals were even better!!!!

I'm just so excited that I had to post this extra bit about farm fresh this week.  When I went to put the deer park water in my car I noticed that a sign that said "buy 2, Get $1 off your next order buy 3, get $2, buy 4 get $4".  I was already purchasing 2 of them at $1.50 each ($3 total) using my coupons from facebook.  I got $1 back which will double next week! So it will be like paying .50 for 24 waters!

Also! When I was picking up my Ronzoni Smart Taste pasta (penne), I noticed a "save $1/1 classico pasta sauce" I went and got the pasta sauce which ended up being $1 each after the coupon and there was ANOTHER coupon on the back of the jar for $1/2 classico and $1/2 ronzoni pastas. 

The store matchups will be updated to reflect this!

All four treatments must be for the same area; customers may buy up to two groupons (for two different areas). 

Sign up for Groupon by clicking here and then click deals for Hampton Roads and you will see it. Hurry this deal will only be on for today! (Usually when they do the laser hair removal ones, they are $99 for 3 sessions, leaving the opportunity for all of your hair to not be removed...so this one is better!)

After last week at Harris Teeter, I really don't need very much this week. I'm just trying to let my stockpile of meat die down a little bit before I buy any more meat for a little bit.  Here is how I did with super doubles last week:

1/9-1/15 Menu Plan

Hey Guys, I'm going to try to keep up with posting a menu plan each week...so please feel free to hold me accountable if I slip up. 

If you don't use a menu plan, you should start-it's a great way to save money by making sure that you don't forget to pull your meat etc. Some people like to build in time for eating their leftovers. My husband always eats all of ours at work, so I only use one lunch-time per week generally to allow for leftover eating.

A good menu plan can save you big bucks. Before we had one in place, we would not plan ahead for our next meal and end up having to eat out since a good portion of our foods are frozen!  Used properly you can also reduce the amount of produce and food that you may throw away each week. I will note examples next to my plan for this week. *Remember* you can always trade out items I have for items that you already have on hand!

Sunday
Breakfast: Corn Muffins, Cereal/oatmeal (oatmeal $1/1 from 1/2 RP)

how to get more coupons

Today I made my last trip to harris teeter for super doubles that I will be making this sale.  I have to hand it to them, they really have done a great job staying stocked.  I was informed by the store right down the street that they got their truck in last night/this morning and were able to refill many things they were probably out of (finish dish detergent, ziplock containers, old orchard juice...)

I also spent a little bit of time today on eBay looking through coupons.  Usually when I hear of a super doubles sale coming up I go onto eBay and purchase coupons for the items I know will be cheap or free. Most people usually haven't singled out those coupons at that point and I can get great deals (1.98 after shipping for 20 $1/1 old orchard coupons making these juices .38 a bottle!). This time  I didn't do this, but still came out saving over $120 and spending less then $25.  I now have 15 containers of juice, 10 new cans of soup, 4 ziplock containers, 2 packs of ziplock bags, coffeemate, bestlife buttery spread, biltmore salad dressing, syrup, 5 twenty count containers of finish dish detergent, 3 packs more of pasta, 2 giant prego sauces, parmasan cheese, a 2 liter of soda, texas toast, and two bottles of reginas red wine vinegar stuff(not sure what to use this for, but I will try some new recipes perhaps!). 

Can I solely use coupons for my meals, no, not usually! But! These items are GREAT to enhance my meals and decrease my budget drastically!

*****Please note: IF YOU PUT A BID IN ON COUPONS THAT END TONIGHT...THERE IS A GOOD CHANCE YOU WILL HAVE THEM IN TIME FOR THE END OF THE SUPER DOUBLES SALE!!!!*******

Now I am off to ebay to put in a last minute bid for $1/3 steamfresh variety veggies, which will make these frozen veggies just .33 each on Wednesdays at farm fresh!

My Harris Teeter super double deals!

Between the Farm Fresh wednesday deals, a playdate this morning, other things going on in my life that I have to deal with right now(but would prefer not to) I cannot post all the deals for super doubles. I will post the deals that I got or any deals I would've gotten if my pantry/storage/where ever I can put things weren't so stocked.

This morning I had to run out in a hurry so I didn't get to get all my super double coupons together, but I did get some together and went ahead and got the items I needed most.  My total for this transaction was $6.67 for 16 items averaging .41 per item!

They are also doing a meal deal this week where if you purchase two 45 oz prego pasta sauces you get: one texas toast, one 8 oz kraft parm cheese, one 2 liter pepsi product and 1 harris teeter fettuccine, linguini or angel hair FREE. Use this deal in conjuction with the .60/2 Prego pasta sauces from the 1/02 SS insert to get all of it for 6.70! I personally am low on Parmasean cheese and it is not often on sale for cheap or free so I will be taking advantage of the deal.

Harris Teeter SUPER DOUBLES! 1/5-1/11

It has been confirmed that Harris teeter is going to be doing super doubles from 1/5-1/11. For those of you who do not know what super doubles is--this is the one sale that first got me hooked on couponing.

There is a limit of 20 coupons per day.
One coupon for BOGO items (but you can use one coupon and buy one item at half price).
Limited to three like coupons, or two like printable coupons.

DOUBLES up to and including $1.98. So if you have a coupon for 1.50 off its good for $3 off! This makes many of their regular priced items FREE!

Technically the do not double the coupons that say dnd, but, my store does and yours *might* also.

There are several great sites that do matchups for the super doubles, unfortunately, this go round I am not one of them.  Check out the matchups here, with my coupon teacher(dot) com
