A Great Cause to Donate to for Christmas!

Hi everyone! Ok, my only two followers, haha.

Willamette Week's Give! Guide 2011 is featuring some top deserving charities that are asking for donations. The one that I am highlighting in this blog is one that runs close to my heart.

Harper's Playground   is a wonderful cause, Their mission and explanation of what they are doing goes like this:

" Harper’s Playground will build community 

by providing an inclusive playground 

at Arbor Lodge Park where children 

and adults of all abilities can play together."

I particularly enjoy that they don't refer to being open to people with disabilities and instead refer to the positive people of all abilities. It warms my heart when people focus on what others are able to do, rather than what they are not able to do.

You can donate whatever you want to to this cause, but you can also donate $250 or more and get a Harper's Playground Personalized Plaza Paver. They are only about $100,000 away from their goal! 

Please go to their website, read up on them and donate! They would reach their goal of only 4,000 people gave $25 each!

This would be a great Christmas gift for the community, so please give today! Give some of those dollars that you have saved through using coupons!

 

I'm Back! Deals for 11/27 through 12/3

Sorry for the two week disappearance! I went on a work vacation to Disneyland and then I just have been busy, tired, and sick all this week. But I am back, so let's see what deals we have this week!

HERE are the deals for Walgreens! These should soon get better because I read that the Portland Points Pilot Program (That's not really the name, I just liked using all the P's) is ending soon. No more 'outside of PDX' deals that make us wish we lived somewhere else. YAY!

HERE are the Safeway deals through Tuesday. I am never good about posting the deals early when they come out, but there's usually plenty of things left over my Sunday or Monday.

I don't have Albertson's yet because my source blog hasn't updated, but when they do, it will be HERE.

HERE are the Rite Aid Deals!

Ok, since not all of these were done yet, like Albertsons, Target, Fred Meyer, New Seasons,  I will try to come back and update this post when they are finished.

Couponing Deals for 9/4 through 9/10 -- Also an Update!

**FYI** Don't waste time looking for inserts this weekend! It is a holiday weekend, and so there won't be any inserts!

Also, I just thought I would share an update of my savings this year as an idea of what you could be saving. I keep an Excel spreadsheet of all my receipts, and while it's not perfect (I do lose receipts here and there and I often forget to log my Catalinas and such), it gives me motivation to keep doing what I am doing. So far, since I began Couponing in February of this year, I have purchased $3,970.62 worth of food, paper products, pet food, and health and beauty products. I have only spent $852.81 out of pocket. That's a savings of $3,117.81 since February!!! I think that's impressive and well worth the hours I have put into this. Now that I am in the groove and know how to do this, I think I only spend 5 hours maximum prepping, blogging, and shopping. That's not half bad!

Now, I'm not that excited about the deals this week, but it's a lean week for us, so I won't be buying much, regardless.

HERE are the deals this week for Albertsons!

HERE are the deals for Safeway!

HERE are the deals for New Seasons!

HERE are the deals for Rite Aid.

I couldn't find any super exciting deals this week, but I hope there are some that you guys want!

Deals for 8-28 through 9-3!!!!!! Sorry I'm Late!

There ARE doubles for Albertson's this week! It seems they didn't get heads up this week about the doubles, so they posted THIS but now they posted THIS and THIS, so that is a little less mental math for us! :-)

And HERE are the Safeway deals! I am excited because Albertsons and Safeway have Foster Farms whole fresh fryers on sale for only $.75 a pound and we have only one left in our freezer! Just in time!

HERE are the deals for New Seasons this week!

HERE are the deals this week for Walgreens!

HERE are the match-ups this week for Rite Aid!

Beyond Cheap Knit Patterns!

So I received this amazing deal in my e-mail the other day and almost forgot to share it! It's a digital version of Interweave Knits Accessories from 2009 for only $.10, regularly $14.99! There are some really cute items in here, but at only $.10 how can you lose, really?

I Just thought I would pass this deal on! If you are interested, just click the link:

Buy Now!

Stolen Coupons!

I am officially moved and have everything back up and running so that I can blog this week. I heard a rumor that there will be doubles again this weekend. I am just hoping for some good chicken, cheese, and produce deals soon.

Also, I don't know how many of you have had issues with stolen inserts of papers, but I hope you all haven't been stealing coupons or being too greedy. HERE is a cautionary tale against stealing coupons.

I get my extra inserts at Starbucks when people don't want them. How do you get your coupons?

6/19 through 6/25 deals!

I am hoping this week and next will stay slow as I am moving and don't have time to shop much!

Free deals always go fast at Walgreens, so I would suggest you hurry over there as soon as possible tomorrow!

I'm BACK! MAtchups for 6/5 through 6/11

Hello Everyone! I am back after a great vacation in Canada, and although I would have liked to have had this done yesterday, here are your weekly match-ups!

HERE are your Fred Meyer match-ups, hopefully I will find another blog because this list is TINY!

HERE are the Safeway matchups, but they don't include Sunday's ad, just Tuesdays... Hmmm.... hopefully I can track down some more match-ups, but these will work.

HERE and HERE are some Albertson's match-ups, but again they don't include Sunday's ad items. My blogs are behind this week, just like I am!

HERE are New Season's deals through Tuesday.

HERE are some good Walgreen's deals.

HERE and HERE are some Rite Aid Match-ups.

HERE is a decent deal on John Frieda products in the NW. Too bad we don't live elsewhere in the country because then it would have been a money maker. Ah well!

Well, that is about it this week. It looks a bit boring! Maybe next week will be more exciting.

Deals for 5/22 through 5/28!

Hey Guys! So it looks like we are having doubles at Albertsons for TWO weeks in a row! I hope this doesn't turn out to be untrue because I was so excited, I got my match-ups and coupons that I knew about ready on Wednesday! So HERE, HERE, HERE, and HERE are some match-ups!

I am disappointed by Walgreens for the second week in a row, but I may get that Advil and Heat Wraps deal.  I think my work car has been messing with my back quite a bit. But anyway, HERE are the match-ups!

HERE are some Safeway  Match-ups. I'm not liking the deals there so far this week.

HERE and HEREare some Rite Aid Match-ups. It looks a little disappointing this week.

Deal Match-ups for 5/8/11 through 5/14/11

There is only one insert in the paper this week, but I think we should be getting some pretty good deals! Also, if any of you are finding errors, or finding other deals, don't forget to pass them on! I want this blog to be used for all of us helping each other save!

I believe I already posted Safeway's deals through Tuesday, so I won't post them again, but make sure you get that free juice! I am all stocked up on juice for awhile.

I am not excited by the current Albertson's deals, but HERE and HERE are the current match-ups. The ice cream deal looks pretty yummy, but I need to try not to buy ice cream.

I am fairly excited by Walgreen's match-ups this week, especially since I have some Catalinas from the toilet paper deal to spend.

My favorite clogs seem to be behind this week, but HERE and HERE are some Rite Aid Match-ups!

HERE are some Fred Meyer Match-ups!


Good Luck getting good deals this week!

Inspiration to work the Coupons!

Oh my goodness.

One of the blogs I follow, A Thrifty Mom, posted this post as inspiration to coupon and to show what the payoff for couponing can be. Hopefully one day I can do this for my future children, but for now I am hoping that couponing will help get good food on our table, get us through the coming two year strain that will be my husband in grad school and only working part time, as well as buying another car.

I found the girl's voice to be beautiful and I think her lessons are definitely paying off!

Does this act as inspiration for anyone else?

*UPDATED* Free Kettle Tias and Coconut Milk!

For those of you collecting the weekly inserts, you can get FREE Kettle Tias chips at Whole Foods. I found the match-up HERE.

These chips are pretty yummy and I love the Kettle brand!

*UPDATE*

It looks like you can also get free So Delicious coconut milk at Whole Foods as well! YUM! Look HERE for the match-up.

My Haul Today!

Impressive? I think so! I only paid $26.24 for it all!

May 1st through the 7th deals!

I hope this week's match-up's will be a little bit better this week.

Albertson's have doubles again HERE and HERE are some of the match-ups. It looks like we can get free pizza and a good deal on cereal this week!

There may be more match-ups for Safeway, but HERE and HERE have some deals until Tuesday. You can get some cheap Silk!

HERE are the New Seasons deals until Tuesday. I haven't seen any free deals for New Seasons yet, but any savings at that wonderful store always make me happy. I am hoping for an egg deal because their eggs are a good deal anyway, so a better deal would be exciting.

Here are the Walgreen's deals. You can get a great deal on toilet paper this week. It's not free, but $2 for a 12 pack of Cottonelle is pretty great, and if you took advantage of the Splenda deal last week, it is free!

My Rite Aid list is going to be short this week, but there are a few good deals HERE and HERE.

As usual my favorite blogs are running behind on the Target deals this week, and unfortunately I couldn't find any other good postings.

Good shopping this week!

LOTS of inserts in the Sunday Paper tomorrow!

I picked up the early edition of the Sunday Oregonian today and it looks like there will be 4 of the regular inserts and an extra two special ones as well!

I am excited to see what freebies and good deals will come out of this!

New Albertsons and Safeway ads!

Albertsons and Safeway are starting their new ads tomorrow.

Albertsons is not that great right now, but should be good on Sunday because there are twice the value coupons coming in the paper! So save the ad stuff for then!!


Safeway isn't very exciting, but there are a few things. I would recommend following the link on that page to check out the produce at QFC if you have one near you. $1 a pound grapes, YUM!

ALSO: Print THIS coupon NOW because it will be gone by the time you need to use it! Free Tylenol!!

Most of my week's Shopping

So it looks like I was able to get most of my week's shopping done today, except for Target because it was closed (but I'm not sure I'm getting anything there, so its all good).

Out of pocket (OOP) today I spent: $16.88

I got a total of 1 Walgreens (WAG) rewards and 3 Rite Aid +UP rewards to total: $19

So this means I made $2.15 to spend later on merchandise or food that I would not have had before.

I went to four stores: Safeway, Walgreen's, Albertsons, and Rite Aid.

Here is how I did it:

Safeway:

I purchased:
- 4 Nivea Lip Care products on sale for $.99 each (regularly 2.99 each!)

I used:
- $2/2 printable coupon from coupons.com (It's under personal care)

Safeway doesn't give the overage but they still ended up being FREE, nothing OOP!
  
Walgreens:

I purchased:
-1 pair of flip flops $2.99 (a cheap pair and not on sale, but I needed a pair)
-4 boxes of Splenda Sweetener on sale for $2.99 (regularly $5.49)

Now, Walgreen's coupon policy says they DO NOT give overage for coupons, they only give you the price of the item if the coupon is worth more, but sometimes the Cashiers decide to give it to you. I don't know if this is lack of training, laziness, niceness, or what, but when they do it, I just smile and say thank you.

I used:
-4 $3/1 coupons from 4/17 Smart Source (SS) insert (I only needed to buy 3 for the deal, but oh well)

I paid:
$2.95 for the flip flops ($2.99 - the $.04 overage) but really made $1.05. I would have gotten the flip flops for free truely if i had done them in a second transaction with the reward, but oh well. Live and learn! 


I received:  
-1 $4 off my next purchase WAG reward for buying 3 Splenda products (an unadvertised deal)
 

Albertsons:

I purchased:
-4 Skinny Cow Individual Ice cream cartons on sale for $1.25

I used:
-4 $1 off ANY Skinny Cow coupon

I paid:
$1.00 OOP! That's $.025 each!

 Rite Aid:

I Purchased:
-2 Arm & Hammer Spinbrush Pro $8.99 each, B1G1 Free
-2 2 count Arm & Hammer Spinbrush Pro Refills 8.99 each, B1G1 Free
-4 Baby Oragel 6.99 each, B1G1 Free (I know what your thinking, I don't have kids. I am donating these).

I Used:
- 2 Save $2.00 off any ONE ARM & HAMMER® Spinbrush® Powered Toothbrush or Refill  for the refills
- 2 $2/1 Spinbrush Printable
- 4 $1/1 any Orajel product coupon from 3/13 SS OR $1 off Printable (You would need 2 computers or the ads for this part)
- A $5 +UP reward I had gotten previously
- A $2 +UP reward I had gotten previously

I Paid:
$12.96 OOP

I Received:
3 $5 +UP rewards for purchasing (before my coupons) $30 of oral care products. $5 for each $10 worth up to $40 for customer.

This means that I made $2.04 to spend on a future order. My receipt also had a do the survey and get $3 off a $15 purchase.


I should also be making some more money with nothing or almost nothing OOP this week, but we will see and I will let you all know!

TARGET 4/24 to 4/30 deals - Diapers!

Target doesn't have very many awesome deals this week, but it loos like you can get diapers this week for super cheap! You will need a printer for this  one, but click HERE to see this deal!

CHEAP HUMMUS!!!

Ok, so apparently I was wrong about Fred Meyers not having any good deals this week!


Athenos Hummus 2 for $3

• use B1G1 Athenos Hummus Product(facebook)
• Final price $1.50 for 2 or $.75 each

Unfortunately I already used mine for a 2.99 for 2 price, but this is so much better!



Hopefully you can print this because $.75 for hummus is awesome!

4/24 to 4/30 Deals!

Alright guys! I am trying to get this out sort of on time for you all this week!

Click HERE for some Rite Aid deals this week!

BUT I kind of like this Blog's deal layout better:

Here are the Albertson's deals for April 20th through the 26th. I personally didn't see anything that jumped out at me except for maybe the ham, but I'm not a huge ham person.

I'm not all that enthused about Safeway as well right now, but you might like it. Here you go!

QFC is another that I'm not excited about, and I am pretty sure there is only one or two in the whole Portland Metro area, but Oh well, HERE it is anyway.

HERE are the Fred Meyer deals, but I have come to realize that Fred Meyer rarely has free or ridiculously cheap deals. They do have a good deal (My stock-up price) on whole fryer chickens.

I LOVE New Seasons but except for a few exceptions (like Eggs) I don't like their prices. HERE are the current deals!

Walgreens has some good deals this week, especially on Splenda!

 My favorite blogs haven't posted the Target deals yet, but here are some others I found. This is a blog written by one of the TLC's extreme couponers... which I am not an extreme couponer!

I have to give thanks to all of the Blogs that give me this information to give to you! Without them I wouldn't be able to do what I do or pass it on to you!

No Inserts this week!

Just so everyone knows, there will be NO inserts in tomorrow's paper due to the holiday, so unless you like reading the paper, don't go buying one just for the coupons!

There will still be some deals, so I will try to list them as soon as possible for you guys!

4/17 to 4/23 store Match-ups!

It looks like there will be some good match ups this week! I hope everyone has been collecting their coupons!

For your Albertson's deals click HERE!
HERE is another blog with some other Albertson's deals! It's always good to look at a couple of blogs!

Click HERE for an awesome Turkey Bacon coupon at Safeway until Tuesday I believe.

Do you love Turkey Bacon? I DO!! I love regular bacon as well, but Turkey Bacon is also delicious! It looks like regular bacon was on sale today, but the Turkey bacon is on sale until possibly Tuesday. Yummy!

Click HERE for the other Safeway deals of the week (NOTE: If the Safeway broth is a normal sized box, I think this is pretty good!).

Would you like a Free Banquet Pot Pie? If so you should really click on the link.

If you ever need a reason to buy body wash, HERE is a reason! Almost free, or free plus a money maker for Nivea Body Wash!!!!

HERE is Blog #1 for Rite Aid Deals... FREE Ester C!
HERE is Blog #2 for Rite Aid Deals!


Here are some Walgreens Match ups!

Here's an Eco-friendly Toilet Paper!

Here is a Target Special just for SUNDAY!!

Here are some Other Target deals... this list is LONG!


Alright! That is it for now, but be sure you get Sunday's paper! There are 4 inserts in is this week! AWESOME!

Pretty good haul!

So I forgot to take a picture of yesterday's shopping haul, but we did pretty good. Today we did pretty well for only $10.46!

So at Safeway we got:

4 Bailey's coffee creamer that will probably be used in coffee, hot chocolate, and maybe a milkshake or two. We froze them because according to the internet this is possible!
10 Powerade zeros

This would have been $24.54 before sales and coupons but I paid $5.10
After the sales prices I used 5 BOGO coupons that a blog told me to print  for the powerade, making them about $.35 each
I also used 4 $1.00 coupons clipped from inserts doubled to $1.50 each, making the creamer $.19 each! Not bad!


Walmart was a little better because I now have a donation to a needy mother to make (although it did require 6 transactions between Cody and I):

-Transaction 1:

I would say that is not a bad shopping day at all! We have an $80 for two weeks shopping budget and we still have $25 left. I am feeling happy about finances this week (Cody: but that still doesn't mean we can go out to dinner! I don't even think he read's my posts though!)   :-)

IMPORTANT: It isn't really a secret language!

Alright, so many of you may have already looked at some couponing blogs and were really confused. Couponers use abbreviations in their deal match-ups. With some help from Kathy Spencer's blog, here is a list of the lingo.

~Desiree


B1G1 or BOGO – Buy One, Get One. You can use a BOGO coupon with a store BOGO  sale and get them both for FREE.
Blinkies – Little red  coupon machine in grocery stores with a small red blinking light that spits out coupons.
CAT or Catalina Deal-   A group of items that when purchased together produce a money off coupon. The money-off coupon prints out of the Catalina machine that sits next to the cash register.
GM - General Mills
Hang tags -Coupons that hang from the product
IP – Internet printable
MC or MQ – Manufacturers coupon
MFR – Manufacturer
MIR – Mail in rebate
MM - Money Maker
OOP – Out of pocket.
OYNO – On your next order.
Peelies – Coupons you find on the product itself and you “peel” off.
PG – Procter & Gamble
PSP – Pre sale price
RA- Rite Aid
Rolling- Using store money like CATS or ECB’s to pay for your next order of items.
RP – Red Plum, a Sunday coupon insert.
RR – Register Reward (Walgreen’s)
SCR – Single check rebate (Rite Aid)
SS – Smart Source, a Sunday coupon insert.
Stack – To stack is to use two coupons together. For example, using a store coupon with a manufacturers coupon on the same item.
Tear pads – A block of coupons where you “tear” individual coupons from.
Wags- Walgreen’s
Wine tag – a coupon that hangs on a bottle of wine. Some say “no wine purchase necessary” and are often for fresh fruit and meat (RARE).

Good Luck!

OK! OK! You Win!

Due to extreme Peer Pressure I decided to start a PDX couponing blog. I can't guarantee that I will put all of the deals I find on here, and I can't guarantee that I can update it as regularly as all the other couponing blogs, but I will try!

I will mostly post (and give credit to) all of the other blogs that I find the deals on, but I will also try to post when I find deals on my own or when i find out that a deal is not exactly right.

If you guys find other deals, please let me know so that we can all pass them on!

My first recommendations:

1. Read a book or Blog on Couponing! The one that got me started is by this lady:

http://www.howtoshopforfree.net/ (Kathy Spencer)

2. COLLECT coupons! You will need AT least 1 Sunday Oregonian each week and you will also benefit from at least one computer and printer in the house.

Alright, so that is it for now. I will post some of this week's deals soon!
