Sorry my dear friends....

  When I started this blog I was so excited to share my incites on couponing and saving money. As you have all noticed I haven't posted in forever and I am sincerely sorry about that. I have been pretty occupied time wise with my 2 little girls and I have found that spending more than moments on the computer just does not fit into my schedule right now. ( Especially when for some reason the wireless capabilities aren't functioning right now on my lap top) Which keeps me confined to the upstairs computer room.
  I hope to continue my blogging eventually,but for now check out some of my favorite sites:

**Sometimes price matching at Target can be so time consuming and frustrating. But, I have found if you just check out and the customer service desk. They WILL look at your ad and confirm the dates of the sale and make sure it is the identitical item. They can ring it up for those prices and then you can hand them your target and manufacturers coupons. Try it and see how it goes.. They can only turn you down so it is worth a try if it possible will save you serious cash$$

Yummy Healthy Frugal Meal, Need I say MORE..?

     Tonight, I had no Clue what I was going to make. It was 6:00 and decided to see what I could throw together. So I pulled out a bag of mini carrots, zucchini, tomatoes, cheese, a can of black beans, and some corn tortillas.
I cut up the zucchini and fried it in a pan with a little butter, and then I threw some carrots in some water and microwaved them for about 3 minutes. When the zucchini was finished I just heated up the tortillas and put a little cheese on them till it melted. I warmed up my beans in the microwave after the carrots cooked. Then loaded up my tortillas and then put some fresh tomato on top. AND .....Fabulous!! They were absolutely Delicious and So healthy and So Frugal! I was thinking you could really add whatever you have in your Veggie Drawer... Grilled Chicken would also go really well with this too.

...And Since you ate such a healthy meal you could top it off with one of these.. Yoplait Delights 100 Calories! These are my new favorite treats!  There have been lots of coupons in the paper for these as well as printables.You can also load $1/1 Coupon to your Smith's Rewards Card and get additional savings and Snag these treats for possibly FREE or really cheap!

 

Happy Eating!

Walmart Price Matches!

 I Love Walmart because they offer price matching! Which means you can bring in any other competitors ads and Walmart will honor the price.
There are some stipulations such as $10 for 10 deals or when the store is offering money off when you buy particular items. But, for the most part Walmart is a great way to do ONE STOP shopping. Saving you TIME and MONEY.
  Basically what you would do is get a list together of all the things you want to price match from all the different stores ads. Have the item's written down, price and where. Also, be careful when you are grabbing the item off the shelf that you take a look at the price because Walmart may offer a better price. Remember you can always use coupons on top the the advertised price!
  So, when you go to check out place your price match items on the register very last and let the cashier know ahead of time that you will be price matching those items. When the cashier gets to those items I usually will just tell him the price and which store I got the price from. I have never been asked to show the ad to them. It isn't a bad idea though to have the ad handy. Which helps make things go MUCH faster in line. It works like a Charm!
Try it and let me know how it goes for you.

Here are some price matches I might do this week:
        Dick's Marketplace:
       - Bolthouse 1 lb baby carrots $.89

       SuperSaver (Never been there but I get their ad):
      -3 for $5 Grandma Sycomore's Bread (White or Wheat) Just because it is 3 for $5 doesn't mean you have to buy 3. You can get them for 1.67 each.
      - Bumble Bee Chunk Light Tuna 2 for $1 (my plan is to buy 4 and hopefully get all 4 free)
             Use the $1 off 1 coupon and possible get .50 in overage towards your groceries or the cashier may lower the coupon value to only .50. Either way free tuna.
      - Fresh Express Iceberg Garden Salad 12 oz. $.98
     
          Family Dollar:
      - Luvs Jumbo Pack Diapers $7.00
           Use the $1/1 coupon from P&G (coupon insert) 09/27/09 (date they came in the newspaper)
             = 6.00 for Jumbo pack is not too bad
   
* The last time I was at Walmart a lady in Guest Services told me that if another store brand item was on sale, they would price match it to the same Walmart brand item. i.e. If Smith's brand cottage cheese is $1.00 then you can get the Walmart brand cottage cheese, which in most cases is "Great Value" for $1.00.
