Sunday March 7th - Extra Coupons - Wanna swap?

I thought it would be a good idea to share what coupons I have used from the paper, so if anyone wants any of the ones I have leftover, you can have them. If you want to swap ones you have that I use, it's a good way to exchange and get the coupons you want.

Here is what I cut to keep from the Waterloo Courier & Des Moines Register today. If you want any of the coupons from these papers that I did not use, let me know.

Coupons I clipped: Do you want any of the ones I did not clip?

Here are some of my great deals at Target this weekend. In addition to the deals below, I got an extra 10% off my entire bill with my Visa card rewards.


We buy Tropicana OJ each week because it's our favorite. Whenever we can, we use coupons to make each cheaper. Tropicana just launched a rewards program and you earn rewards with each carton you buy. You can search their site to find places to redeem them. It turns out there are several museums and zoos you can get free tickets, too and even to ICubs games! Pretty cool for just buying our regular orange juice.


Target had a buy 4 get 1 free sale on TLC snacks. These are the only granola bars I like to buy, because they are fairly healthy for you. I had two coupons (buy 2 get $1.50 off). The snacks were also on sale for $2.59. Before my 10% visa rewards, they came out to $1.47 each. (I always check for Target deals on Stretching A Buck every week. This is where I found this deal.)


Now that Brad is working, we buy sandwich meat every week. This week they were doing a sale: buy 1.5lbs of Archer Farms meat and get a half pound of cheese FREE. A great coincidence for us because I buy a pound of Brad's kind and a half pound of mine! So we got our cheese free!

Oreos are Brad's favorite cookies. ever. We only buy them we they are a good deal because, let's face it, they have no nutritional value. Nabisco is running a special on Facebook. (See my post from yesterday). So we bought our weekly gallon of milk and 2 bags of Oreos. Before my Visa 10%, the Oreos were $1.50 each.

This is my load from Walgreens this weekend. With a combination of ad savings, Walgreens coupons, and manufacturer coupons, I saved 55%. I paid $32.74 out of pocket and have $15 in Register Rewards for next week. That is only $1.92 for each item I bought.

I glanced through the Fareway ad to see if there was anything good this week. On the way home from Target, we made a stop for Blue Bunny ice cream. On their website (see the right side bar of my blog) they are running a $1.00 off coupon and they were on sale for $2.99. This is our favorite ice cream and we never buy it unless it's super on sale or we have coupons. We were out of ice cream, so this was great timing!

Free Nabisco Cookies on Facebook

I saw this in my coupons in the paper yesterday. If you become a fan of Nabisco Cookies on Facebook, on the 1st Monday of every month in 2010 you will get a coupon for free cookies, if you buy a bag of cookies and a gallon of milk. If you already buy cookies and milk, it's a great deal!

Only downside is that i printed today and it expires in 3 days. Good thing I haven't gone grocery shopping yet.

Perkins - Sign up for e-club

We eat a Perkins periodically and get coupons in the paper. We'll see what great deals we get through the e-club!

Free Cookbook when I made Lil Smokies

I bought some Hillshire Farm Lil Smokies with coupons during the holiday, just like every year. Then I found this. I had already bought the 3 packages, so that made it really easy.

It's still valid for a while so if you buy Hillshire Farm, click on the logo for the link.

Waterloo/CF and Mason City/Clear Lake Deals

Every few weeks, we get this great mailer. It usually has a couple of great coupons for places we shop or like to eat. Since we try not to eat out unless we have a coupon, I love this mailer.

When each mailer comes out, you can also log onto their website and register to win $30.00 gift certificate to a the place of your choice.

After reading their website today, I learned you can print out the coupons from the mailer too, so you can get more than you get in the mail!

Right now, it appears that the mailer is in the Cedar Valley and in the Mason City area.

Papa Murphy's Deals

One of my favorite things about living in Iowa is Papa Murphy's. The pizzas are delicious and so cheap. I joined their e-club and get coupons all the time. We also got a cheesy bread the first time we ordered and you get a free coupon. Now, every time we get pizza, we get a free cheesy bread.

The ingredients are good and fresh and it's probably as close to a homemade pizza you can buy. They are also fast. You can just drop in and get a pizza either right away or if they have to make it, it only takes about 5 minutes.
