PUBLIX FREE CAT FOOD UPDATE!!!

Thanks to Who Said Nothing in Life is FREE? blog for posting about a printable GoodLife coupon! Whoo Hoo!!! It's worth $3!!

You can print it twice! Just hit your back button on your browser. You TOO can do the deal this week!

Go here: http://www.thegoodliferecipe.com/great-promotions/3-dollars-off.aspx/?cid=goog

Enjoy your savings! (see post below for entire deal on the B1G1F cat food at Publix this week)

FREE Good Life Cat Food at Publix (I LOVE Publix!)

Ok, if you were lucky enough to get the $3/1 Good Life cat/dog food coupon in the following Sunday paper inserts:

RP 1/4-----exp 4/5/09----Goodlife Recipe Dry Cat or Dog Food $3

OR

RP 1/4-----exp 4/5/09----Goodlife Recipe Dry Cat or Dog Food $2

OR

RP 3/8-----exp 6/7/09----Goodlife Recipe Dry Cat or Dog Food $2

THEN You TOO can get FREE CAT FOOD at Publix this week.

Current Sale Price is $4.49 for 2 BAGS (Actually B1G1F)
Sooo..... if you have 2 of the $3/1 coupons (and I DO, tee hee!) You get them both FREE and a little overage perhaps!
BUT if you only got the $2/1 coupons in YOUR local ad (like ME!) and didn't take the time to trade for the $3/1 (like I DID!!), you can still get CHEAP/almost FREE cat food! Use 2 of the $2/1 coupons from either the 1/4 or the 3/8 RedPlum insert and you get 2 Bags for only $.49!! Wow!

Isn't that MARVELOUS? Get all you can. And if they run out, GET A RAIN CHECK!!!

Wanna know something funny? The last sale Publix had on the Goodlife was for $3.49 a bag and I was SO EXCITED!! I traded for a ton of the $3/1 coupons (we were hosting a stray and we feed 2 strays outside... Hi little kitty friends!) so I could get cat food for $.49 a bag! COOL! But, after getting only 12 or so bags (hey, pet food is expensive!!)... Publix ran out at a couple of stores, so I got TWO rain checks on 2 different occasions. I saved my coupons and hadn't had time to use them yet on my rain checks. So guess what? I STILL have those pretty $3/1 coupons to use!! But they expire soon...but that doesn't matter because by then, they will be gone, and I will have LOTS of bags of kitty food!!! Whoo Hoo!!! Isn't that HILARIOUS? no? oh, ok.

Aren't I lucky? Aren't I blessed? (yes!!)

So, I swooped in today and got just 2 bags..and they took off both $3 coupons in their entirety.

I spent $4.48 and got this:

2 Bags of Goodlife Cat food (3lbs each?)
FOUR Bolthouse Farms juice smoothies (smaller bottles are B1G1F for $2.79)
TWO Boxes of Tofutti ice cream, ON SALE for 2/$2.45, a super price! We got the 8 pack of little sandwiches and the 12 pack of "fudgesicles."
1 box Morningside Farms non-meat Corn Dogs (50% off) for $1.99
1 pack of Danimals (squeezers) for $1.67 minus the blinkie $.55/1 coupon right there!

Breakfast yogurt, Dinner Corndogs, Dessert Ice Cream, Smoothie lunches, Cat all day food. If you eat more than one Tofu ice cream treat... you know, as filler...that is like a whole day of food for less than $5!! Ok Ok, so we need some veggies and a little good carb-action here, but I have my FREE canned veggies still and I have w/w bread and bagels all over the place! So there!

I also used a $6 Walgreens Catalina as a competitor coupon, which not only scans just fine, but also is fully acceptable at my Publix in Gainesville!!

Total $3.81
Tax $.67
Grand $4.48 OOP (will calculate later)

Savings:
Vendor coupon 12.55
Advertised Savings 12.07
Advantage buy 0.33 (?)
In-Store Special (tofuttis?) 4.86
--------------------------------------------
Total Savings of $29.81!!! Wait til I get organized this week!!!

Have fun!
Warmly, Tracey C.

TYSON Meal Kit deal @ Publix!!

Have a Publix near you? I was browsing around tonight looking for deals and coupons while I waited for my daughter's prescription to be ready. I found some Tyson meal packs/kits on sale! It said "while supplies last" which means clearance to me..though they didn't SAY that specifically!

Regular price is $6.99 Sale price is 2/$6.99!!! $3.50 for dinner!
It included the following 3 kits:

1. Chicken Fajitas
2. Chicken Quesadillas (cheese crisps for you southwesterners!)
3. Chicken Fried Rice

I got one of each and didn't have a coupon. I didn't mind though because that is a good deal and the kits include EVERYTHING! We had the chicken fried rice tonight, my 3 small daughters and I. It was enough for the 4 of us, and would probably work for 2 adults and possibly 2, maybe only 1 small child. But maybe not enough for 3 adults... If my husband had been eating, we would definitely had needed more! It could have been rounded out with a salad, bread or extra pile of veggies or a combo of those. I scrambled some Egg Beaters (previous Publix sale) and added those, but it would have been yummy without it. About 15-20 minute prep time from frozen.

My kids loved it!!!!

Now that I am home and can research on my computer, the following coupon MAY work for this product:

Tyson Frozen Chicken or Beef Strips $1

S 1/4

4/5/2009

Not 100% sure! Also, you can check online, but I couldn't find anything. If YOU do, let me know!
Still, $3.50 is a great price for these..and you can bet I'll go get a few more after trying them!

Warmth,
Tracey C.

FREE Pledge at Walgreens

Pledge is on sale at Walgreens this week for TWO for $7.00. You get $2 rebate back on 2 of the products from the monthly ES rebate book. I printed 3 Pledge coupons from their website HERE and got a $3/1 aerosol and $2/1 multisurface and $2/1 Pet sweeper. I bought an aerosol and the sweeper for $7. Minus my $3 and $2 coupon, I paid $2 for the two. Will get that back in rebate.. so free pledge! I was told the $3 coupon was $3/2 items, but my coupon was good on just one product. Your results may vary, so hurry!


UPDATE: I went to the link and see that it says you can get only TWO coupons now, both for $2/1 product (sweeper and the multi-surface. Again, your results may vary, and it is still a good deal to get both products for only $1!!

Warmly, Tracey C.

Walgreens and FREE Soleil Shavers!!!

Hot tip on the Bic Soleil Shavers being on clearance for $3.59. Maybe!

Use the Easy Saver $2/1 coupon in the monthly booklet AND use the manufacturer coupon for $2/1 found SS 3/15 insert. You could get overage on this. Give the man. coupon first, then the Wags. Beware though! I got 2 kinds of soleil systems...I had the cashier scan the pink one (shimmer) and it WAS on clearance, as I was told it might be for $3.59. So I got 6, but 2 of them were ORANGE boxes/packages. Well, I should have scanned them to check..but didn't. They rang up as $5.29 on sale. Now, $1.29 isn't a bad price for the razor, but it isn't free so I was not quite happy. I looked my receipt over because something was off (price too high), but didn't want to go over with that checker as he is NOT friendly and it is a huge hassle to ask him to even take something off. I know, I know, just DO it! :) Anyway, apparently the Walgreens $2 coupon only came off of TWO of the razors, the orange ones! It did NOT come off the pink ones at all, though they are BOTH Soleil razor systems. Hmmm, so instead of getting them free (or with overage), I was not even given the coupon amount on FOUR of them!

SO...

I will take care of this by returning the razors, and if it is a good cashier, I may attempt to re-ring the sale price ones. If not, I will just get a refund because it is not worth paying $1.29 and $1.59 for all of the razors (not with my budget so restricted anyway). I'll try to update you on it, but the deal MAY work for you! Just try it like this perhaps... one razor at a time, and make sure it is scanning at the clearance price (if you want it free). If it is a good deal for you to get it for $1.59 (witout the $2 Wags coupon), or for $1.29 (with both coupons and reg price on razor), then go ahead!!!! It's still a good deal! Just make sure if you want it free that the Wags coupon scans for that pink shimmer one! See pics for reference.

I also got some Trident on sale for $.32, $.32 and Wrigley mult. pack for $.67. Will update budget once I know my final amount.
Warmly,
Tracey C.

Swiffer Sweeper Great Deal @ Target

Wow! I had to share this deal with all of you great readers. If you have been wanting to get the Swiffer Sweeper, now is a GREAT time... here's why. I had cut out my $2/1 Swiffer sweeper from my Homemade Simple (P&G coupon booklet) because I also had a coupon for buy the swiffer, get a FREE pack of refills pads (wet or dry) from the P&G Sunday insert on 2/8.

I almost bought this at Publix, the sweeper was $14.99 and it would get my total up so I could use a $5 off competitor coupon, making it $7 off with my man coupon..but I thought I would wait. I'm glad I did!

I found the Sweeper on sale at Target 2 days ago for $8.99 - $2 coupon = $6.99. I then was trying to decide which refills to get, wet or dry (I chose wet) and noticed the bigger pack (24 wet cloths) had the lovely lavender vanilla scent I love so much with Febreze. Well, that was surely not included... I studied the coupon and guess what? There is NO MAXIMUM dollar amount listed! That's right! Usually on a free product it says something like, "Free up to a maximum of $4.99 (or whatever" But this coupon has no such limits. Well, the big 24 pack of the wet cloths was $8.49 so I threw it in my cart and headed up front. There, I asked the cashier what SHE thought of the coupon..and she said, no limit stated, no limit! (MAN, I should have gotten the HUGE 40 count BOX of wet refills for $12.99!!!). I was so happy! No problems entering it, then it said.. no item scanned for this coupon..she just put it through. I don't know if that meant it wasn't supposed to use a big size, or because it cannot know which product you will pick it does not "attach" to any one product and is a normal prompt that doesn't cause problems. BUT, the coupon definitely does NOT specify a size or price limit. In any event, it is a great deal, so don't miss it! I got both for only $6.99 plus tax! I'm sure you can probably print something online too for the sweeper kit... See my pic and enjoy your savings!

FREE Reach Toothbrushes, floss and Listerine at Walgreens

Quick update (ended up not so quick with Catalina lesson below) for those that aren't aware of this deal at Walgreens this week..look on the back page of your flyer for details or go to Walgreens.com and view weekly flyer that way (last page).

Here is the deal per the Walgreens Website/Ad:
The more you ADD the more plaque you SUBTRACT
Reach:
• Ultraclean Toothbrush or Floss, 30 yds.
• 2 pack Advanced Design Toothbrushes
Listerine:
• Original, Fresh Burst, Cool or Vanilla Mint Mouthwash, 500 ml.

save with register rewards®*

Sale Price 3/$9 - Register Rewards* Good on Next Purchase $6 = Like Paying 3/$3

*Limit 1 coupon printed per offer. See coupon for exclusions, limitations and expiration.buy any 3 of these products
Buy 3 for $9... please USE the coupon from this past Sunday in the Smart Source coupon insert (3/15/09) for $3 off these 3 products (must buy one of each) to get your total to $6. You will then pay $6 plus tax and will get back a $6 Register Reward. Free (or almost free, you pay tax)

Register Reward: This is a coupon that prints from that little gray box next to the register called a Catalina machine. The catalina coupons are also called register rewards, or RR's for short. You can use the RR's for anything in the store! (except a few legal no- nos like lottery, gift cards, cigs, alcohol, etc.). I like to use them to get more new deals, this is called "rolling" the register rewards. Actually, the true definition of rolling means to use the register reward to do the same deal again and again, therefore never having to pay out of pocket for a new deal. This is no longer something people can do. For instance, if you try to use your $6 to buy more reach/listerine, you will NOT get a new $6 RR. You CAN do the deal more than once, but you must pay with cash, gift card, whatever. You CANNOT do the deal more than once in a SINGLE transaction. So, if you buy SIX of the items, you will not get TWO of the RR's!!! You can ring up 3, get a $6 RR, and ring up 3 more and (pay with something other than that $6 RR!!) get an additional RR.

Also note, if you are doing another Catalina offer/deal, like the buy 8 dove products (full size) get $10 RR, you MAY use THAT RR for paying for a different deal.

Here's the scenario: I buy 8 dove single bars of soap (on sale 25% off this week) for $1.19 each. I pay $9.52 plus $.64 tax for a total cost of $10.16. I get a $10 RR on the spot, from the machine. I then go back inside or back on a different day..whatever. I then buy 3 of the Reach/listerine products for $9. I use my $3/3 coupon (or others, see list) and owe $6. I want to use my $10 RR, so I add items to my cart to get to $10 after my coupons.. I add milk $3 for 2 half gallons (sale) and one clearance speed stick deodorant for $1.19. (speed stick has a buy one get a $1 RR deal this week too, and some are on clearance for for $1.09 - $1.69!!) My total is just over $10 before tax. I use my $10 RR and pay the difference (say $.65, I'm just throwing figures here) OOP out of pocket for tax and such. My NEW $6 RR prints out!!

Do not leave without it! If it doesn't print, do not leave! Be prepared to get that RR, it is an advertised deal and they must honor it! Sometimes the machine doesn't work, sometimes it is out of paper.. sometimes it takes a couple of seconds after the cashier opens/shuts the drawer. Some cashiers are not familiar with Catalina and will tell you it won't print if you use coupons.. this is NOT true! This is ONLY applicable if you use a RR from the deal you are trying to do to pay for the SAME deal again.. this will not work and you will not get a new register reward. BUT if you are paying with any other RR or cash and manufacturers coupons, you WILL/should get your RR!! I know this is true and I have done these Catalina deals many, many times!!! You CAN use coupons with these offers! Many of the flyers will even have a little "note" on their ad that you should "check sunday paper for additional coupons" and it is right in the deal window on the flyer!!! Ok, that is the lesson for the day. I hope you can get in on the reach deal, even more than once this week and get your family some good dental tools for months to come.
You can find coupons for these products in the past Sunday paper Smart Source insert:

Reach Floss and Reach Toothbrush and Listerine Antiseptic $3/3	SS 3/15
Reach Floss and/or Reach Toothbrush and/or Listerine Antiseptic $1.50/2	SS 3/15
Reach Floss or Toothbrush or Listerine .50	SS 3/15

OR these additional coupons you can use:
Reach Toothbrush or Ultraclean Dental Floss or Efferdent 76 ct or lrgr $1 RP 2/8
Listerine 500 ml+ or 24ct+ PocketPaks .50 RP 2/8

Remember, Walgreens deal. The price is 3 items for $9. You will get $6 back. So your cost, without any coupons, is $3 for 3 items!! A good deal! Coupons will make this deal cheaper or free, depending on what you have!!! Good luck and happy shopping!

Warmly,
Tracey C.

There are coupon databases, chat deals (huge resource!), refund lists and offers, printable coupons, store deals, doing refunding for 29 years, the owner, Michele Easter really knows her stuff!

You can gather your coupons and then load say, 2 deals (10 items) in your cart.. place all items on checkout belt with divider between (or YOU) and say I want to ring these seperate please..simple as that! Since my store doesn't give a card, just deducts, there is no hassle. With 5 items at $2.50.. all with $1/1 coupons my total is $7.50 - $5 gc offer is $2.50 plus tax (if applicable). That is around $.50 a box!!! AWESOME!! I am going to stock up like MAD! It is ok if my budget takes a hit on this because we eat lots of oatmeal and granola bars around here and this stuff will last! I may throw in a couple boxes of life cereal in one or two transactions and the cereal will end up being $1 a box ($2.50 x 5 = $12.50 - $1/2 - $1/1 (3) - $5 gc offer = $3.50 or $.70 each item avg. If you have something to buy that uses a coupon with overage, you can do even better.

BONUS: I hear the quaker rice snacks are only $2.. if you have the $1/1 coupons from (see above insert listings) insert, you can get 5 for $10 minus $5 in coupons = $5 minus the $5 gc offer = FREE! :) Add an oatmeal or two and you have some cheap snacks and breakfast!!

BONUS 2: Please see my pics! LOOK for the oatmeal with the $4 in coupons inside printed on front!! Inside you will find:

1. $1/2 any LIFE CEREAL
2. $1/2 any Instant Oatmeal
3. $1/2 any chewy granola bars (on sale for $2?? get 4 boxes and a quaker oatmeal (if you have $1/1 coupons) or fiber bars... $2 x 4 = $8 plus $2.50 = $10.50 minus $3 in coupons (2 @ $1/2 and 1 @ $1/1) is $7.50 minus the $5 gc offer is a $2.50 final cost! And you can keep cutting coupons from the oatmeal box if you get those!
4. $1/1 any oatmeal squares cereal

BONUS 3: Please see my pics! The SIMPLE HARVEST oatmeal (maple brown sugar) had a $1/1 ANY simple harvest BARS OR OATMEAL coupon inside!! I can't guarantee yours will, but what a great way to do more deals!!!

I hope everyone gets lots of great Quaker using this deal, this is the perfect thing to stock up on for your family if you eat instant oatmeal or rice snacks or granola bars... I know some use the plain oats and eat really cheaply..but I like the many quaker flavors and I love getting it for $.50 a box!!! I will get as many as I can.. why pay $3.99 (FULL PRICE) on this stuff? Why pay $2.99 or even $2.50 or even the sometimes GREAT sale price of $1.99? You can save a bundle on this sale, so grab a friend or two and get going!

PS- I also finally used my printable $.55/1 Motts coupon and the Target $1/1 (or was it the other way around?) and got my applesauce for around $.40 for six. I also gave in to my twin daughters (I mean we, errr.. me) when they freaked over caramel marshmallows!! WT?? Ok, these smell SO strong (in a good way to me) that I could smell them in the bag all the way through the store. If I were preggers I would now crave these little puppies for 9 months.. delicious!! I will update my budget (lots of updates, just no time!) very soon! Go! Go! Go shop!

Warmth,
Tracey C.
