Sisterly Savings

There will be 2 inserts coming out in the upcoming 3/14/10 Sunday Coupon Inserts:

*SmartSource
*RedPlum

While the coupons aren’t a big hit as last weeks coupons, pickings are kinda slim in my opinion! Some highlights include:

*$2/1 Pampers Swaddlers Sensitive, Swaddlers, Cruisers, or Extra Protection Diapers
*$1/2 Post Pebbles Cereal
*$3/1 Tylenol Sinus, Cold, Cough

Click on the banner above to see what will be available!!

This is a really good coupon and it’s nice to see Target come out with a coupon good for clothes,especially kids clothes!

Print this $5/$30 Target Coupon and save it for the clearance section where the real deals are to be had:)

If you have a BJ’s wholsale club near you (and not already a member) it’s worth your time to go and check it out! Me and my sister are both members and to save on membership costs, we split the cost  each year and our savings alone make up the cost of membership!!

While I don’t do all my grocery shopping there, I find huge savings on the things my family uses most and by buying in larger quantities, I find that it lasts my family much longer too.

Here is a list of items that I purchase only from BJ”s wholesale club (this is my constant list although I may not need to buy the items each time I go shopping which is twice a month):

Stroehmann Bread @ 2/$3. Even when my grocery stores sells this bread at B1G1F at $3.19, this is by far the best  price and we stock up by buying several loaves and freezing them.

Scott Toilet Tissue (30 rolls) @ $17.99. This pk will last my family of 5 for 3 mths ( yes I did in fact do the research and mark off the days on calendar to my next purchase!!) I love the fact that I never have to run out at last minute and pay $1.19 for a roll or $3.99 for a 4 pk.

Kraft Individual Sliced Cheese (5 lb pkg) @ $10.49 (was $9.99 until last month!) While I didn’t like the $.50 price hike, with deli cheese at $6.99 a lb, this certainly saves me money as we make a lot of school sandwiches throughout the week! This pack will last my family almost a month!

I have a few other things on my list but I wanted to let you all know about the 7 meal ideas that you can get for under $12. BJ’s Wholesale Club has come up with seven hearty dinner options that can serve four people for under $12 per dinner. Fresh, frozen or dried, classic pasta is the building block for wholesome budget-friendly dishes the whole family will love and you’ll find that all of these pasta meals can be ready in a flash and are as inexpensive as $1.47 per serving!

Serves 4, Only $1.47 per serving!

If your feeling a little crunched for time, you may want to look into one of these bargain friendly ( not to mention yummy looking) meals for your family!

Another added bonus to BJ’s Wholesale club is they accept manufacterer’s coupons! If you purchase a wholesale product that has 2 items in a package, you can use 2 coupons for that item and so forth and even combine with a BJ’s store coupon!  This is yet another reason why I love to shop at BJ’s!

Be sure to read our previous post on Buying in Bulk, is it Really Worth It for a few more tips!

Start preparing now and saving up your high value coupons cause they will double coupons up to $2, which means you’ll save $4!

Now, I want to know which one of you cleaned out the shelves of the Purex Laundry Detergent in my area ,lol?

I went to 2 different locations this morning and was only able to score 2 bottles for free! When I asked the manager at the first store about getting additional bottles in, he said that the warehouse doesn’t have any more in stock for this week so I will probably have to wait, but I did pick up 2 bottles (they only had 3 left) at the second store with no problems!

Updated, I just read that the Purex B1G1F coupons expire on 3/6, so basically we only have a few days to get in on this deal!!

How many were you able to get?

You’ll want to get your hands on as many of the B1G1F Purex coupons as you can !!

As part of  March Megasavers, find Purex 2x liquid- Mountain Breeze and Natural Elements Linen- 50 oz. on sale B1G1F (2/$5.99). Use a B1G1F coupon from the 2/21 RP to get both bottles FREE!  The Megasavers sale is valid 2/28-3/27 , however the coupons expire on 3/6 (this saturday!).

*UPDATE* B1G1F Purex Coupons expire on 3/6/10!

Need multiples? Then you’ll want to try coupon clipping services to get yours! This is the perfect example of when to use a coupon clipping service and the savings you’ll reap!

Today I had to run to CVS for the Huggies deal that is being rumored to be 2/$5.

Originally priced at $7.99, this a HUGE discount worth stocking up on. And since I had coupons & ECB’s, that’s what I did:)

I did scan each packages first, just to see which ones were ringing up at $2.50 and it looks like all of them were good to go.

My one store only had 1 pk left so I had to go to another where I got 2 more packs of 216 wipes!

All in all, my total for 3  pks of wipes, 1 bag of chips and starburst (used as filler items) and I paid only $.49!!I didn’t get any ECB’s back, but that’s ok, I can always get more! Oh, and another bonus- all the packs had stickers for Free Huggies Enjoy the Ride Codes!

Another Note: Scan your CVS card at the coupon machine  to  get a $2.00 off Huggies wipes and $4.00 off Huggies diapers coupons. You may have to scan your card twice and this may be regional, but worth a shot!!  (Thanks, ForTheMommas!)

I will have to head out tomorrow to see if any other CVS has some in  stock , plus I have 5 coupons good for ANY Free Always Infinity (18 ct) that I need to use!!

(Thanks,BabyGoodBuys!)
