Kellogg's Cereal and Peanut Butter at FoodsCo

As you may have noticed in this weeks grocery deals FoodsCo had Kellogg's cereal on sale 2/$3 ($1.50 each). They do not have a limit or a minimum amount to buy. Which is really nice when you only have a certain amount of coupons. I took the blinkie coupon (coupon from the little machines you see down the isles with a red blinking light) from Safeway for .70/1 Kellogg's Corn Pops, Fruit Loops and Apple Jacks, so I was able to score these for .80 ea. I also bought the Corn Flakes with Honey using a $1/2 coupon.
They also had a Skippy Peanut Butter deal 2/$3 get strawberry jam for free limit 1. It's an off brand, Tropical, but hey it's free.

Physicians Formula make up bogo coupon on Facebook




Become a fan of Physicians Formula on Facebook and under the instant reward tab you can register and print twice( by browsing back) a coupon for buy one get one free Physicians Formula make up at Target is what the coupon says but it also says it's a mfg coupon (I'm suspecting you can use it anywhere they just have some give away with Target I didn't want the hassle so I just used it at Target, but if you're interested Kmart has a 40% off sale on Physicians Formula make up but my local Kmart only had the mascara and I was looking for the eye shadow.) Anyways, I bought the eyeshadow and blush cause I was looking for that specifically but at Target these particular powders were $3 regular $11.99 and I used a bogo coupon so I got both for $3. I paid $10.69 for the other two-nothing exciting there. Note: if you go ahead and get 4 products like this ring them up in separate transactions ( with 1. the 2 $3 items and 2. the 2 $10 items) otherwise they will give you the 2 $3 ones for free and you will spend $20 oop.

Toy Story 1 & 2 on Blu Ray $16.95 for both plus 2 free movie tickets


In my research I found that Toys R Us has the best deal for Toy Story 1&2 on Blu Ray. It takes some action on your part to get this deal, but it worked for me today!

1. you need to go to http://disneymovierewards.com/

login or set up an account.

2. enter the upc code from your old Toy Story & TS2 vhs or dvd (in the same place you would enter your disney movie rewards codes)

3. a banner will be on your screen to print the coupon, click on this link and print coupon.

4. Toys R Us has a deal that when you buy both Toy Story and Toy Story 2 you get them for 16.99 each when you purchase in the same transaction. Use both $10 coupons and you pay $16.95 out of pocket.

5. Take them home and open them up and you will find an insert with the disney movie rewards code on it. When you type in your code it will give you your 125 rewards points for the movie and a code will be there to print you ticket along with a link for the location to print the ticket. Click on the link to enter you code. You will select the theatre you are watching the movie at and then you can print you voucher. It is a pdf document that has a specific code even though you can print it more that once it will only be valid one time.

I was able to get all of this for 52 cents which is the tax I had to pay. CVS is having herbal essence and aussie shampoo and conditioner and hair styling products on sale for .99 cents. I used 3 - $1/1 coupons for Aussie hair products and 3 buy shampoo or conditioner get hair styling product free coupon I paid with a $3 ecb which covered the balance and just had to pay the tax!
99 cents for brand name shampoo and conditioner is a great deal regardless if you coupon or not.

Fun Day at Safeway today!!

Even thought I hate to shop on the weekend, I had a super fun day at Safeway today. I paid $42.08 for all of this. It would have cost me $204.61 that is a savings of 79.43%





The Saturday (and Sunday) deals I got today were the Deli Fresh lunch meat from Oscar Mayer on sale for $1.99 ea plus there was a $1/2 coupon making these $1.5 each
I also got the Cheetos and Frito's for $1.29 (no coupon)

These Marie's salad dressing were on sale for .99 as part of the save $5 wyb 5 I bought 4 plus some mushrooms and had a $1 off coupon for all of them making them FREE

These nut clusters were $1.5 each as part of the buy 5 save $5 cereal and Nature Valley Granola Bars and Nut Clusters I had 7- $1/1 coupons I used plus I had 4 $1 e coupons I made .50 on these






The granola bars were $1.5 ea (wyb 5)

One final note is that there was a blinkie for .70/1 Kellogg's apple jacks, pops or fruit loops making them .80 but since I was getting cereal for free today I didn't get them but stocked up on the coupons.
I used my $10 catalina from frozen food month, and a $3 and $1 catalina to bring down my total.

CVS Deals/Moneymaker




paid $5 out of pocket for everything and got back $7 worth of ecb and a $5 off 25 coupon. I will also get back $8.99 on the razor (using the try it free coupon from the bee) I have to buy another toothpaste to get the other $2 ecb i was expecting today. Also I messed up on the Irish spring Softsoap deal it was an either or thing not both.

All of this cost $42.64 got it for $5 bucks with the ecb and rebate this will be at least a $16 money maker ( I say at least because I'm not sure if Shick will pay 11.99 or 8.99 rebate).

I paid with $13 worth of ecb and also used a $5/25 coupon and $9.25 worth of mfg coupons from the newspaper.

The coupons were $3/1 Shick Razor, .75/1 colgate toothpaste (printable), $2.50 off wyb 2 cover girl make up, b1g1 free covergirl make up

Got all of this for $7.31


Ok I lied I wasn't going to get anymore Prego from Safeway, but they extended their $1.50 deal so I went today.

Sargento Cheddar Cheese $1.49 ea wyb 2 had a .50/1 coupon left from last time
The chicken breast was on sale for 5.96 and there is a printable for $1/1 on the Safeway website picked that up for $4.96
Yoplait gogurt was 2/$4 I used a $1/2 coupon plus I had an .80/2 ecoupon on my safeway club card
Red apples were .59 lb paid 2.96
broccoli crowns were .79 lb paid .71
That adds up to more than $7.31 you say. Yes it does but I also used my $10 p&g cat that I got last time and also a $1 off cat from kellogg's cereal.
All of this would have cost me $52.36
