I'm back... FREE money giveaway!

Man, I have been a crazy lady lately with work and trips! I am back and hope to be better at updating this on a more regular basis.

First things first! You might have noticed some different things on the Grocery Smarts Website. The printables are right on the home page and there is a new Red Plumb group! There are more stores added to the list too and hopefully in the next week or two those lists will be updated regularly.

Did anyone notice the Albertson's Ad this week? They have slashed there prices on tons of items that are now an everyday low price! Many of them are 20% off what they used to be. Woo-hoo! Combining these new prices with the promotions and coupons is bound to keep more money in our bank accounts!

I would love to hear about your success stories! I am going to do a little contest. Email me your best shopping trip ever, with the break down. Whomever has the best will win a $10 gift card to Albertson's! That's free money ladies, or you can look at it as a free pack of diapers, a $10 off coupon of your favorite item, whatever! You have until Wednesday to submit your entries!

Double inserts!

Be sure to get the double inserts out of your Sunday paper! There were 2 smart source inserts this week because there won't be any on Easter Sunday! Happy Easter!!!

VONS!

I just checked out the Von's mailer for this week, and they are having some serious deals! I love when you can earn cash back instantly! Unfortunantly there isn't a Von's list this week, so I will have to spend a little bit of time on it, but it will be well worth the savings in the end. I plan to use the weekly mailer and the alphabetical coupon index to locate my coupons! I will post the results so that maybe you don't have to do the searching too! Here's to buying more and spending less!

Smith's mega sales event!

I love when stores have mega sales where the savings are intstant and I don't have to worry about multiple transactions! Smith's is having one of those! This was a great time for me to stock up on snacks for the kids, toothpaste for .24 cents, Powerade for .49 cents, and pasta for .49 cents!

Here is my transaction breakdown:

Total Value: $83.36
Store Savings: $21.12
MFG coupons: $22.75
Total out of pocket: $36.49
That is a savings of 55%! That is great considering I still bought chicken, milk, and eggs!

$5.00 off on huggies!

Go to the Grocery Smarts list and pull up the Albertson's ad. There is a printable for a $5.00 OFF of Huggies diapers! Go and print it now, before the print limit is reached! Remember that you can print 2! That makes the diapers $5.00 folks!

Don't miss it!

Don't miss it, today is a double wammy! There is a SS insert and a PG! I love getting 4 PG inserts.... serious savings to be had on all the things that our families use!

Great stock up sale at Albertson's!

This is my 2nd trip to Albertson's this week due to the great stock up sale going on. The currentpromotion gives you vouchers after you purchase your items. By buying a certain quantity of products a voucher or coupon prints AFTER you pay for your items. You can attack this type of sale one of two ways... You can either buy now and bring vouchers back next time OR if you are a little more advanced, plan out several transactions and use the voucher you earn in your first transaction to pay for the items in the second and so forth. "Rolling," as I call it, takes a little extra planning and is something I consider "advanced" but it can be done easily if you allow yourself the time to get organized. I would be more than happy to help explain that a little better if need be! Just shoot me an email.

I got $75.31 dollars work of groceries for $9.51 cents!

That my friends is a savings of 87%!

WHAT!? I know... I was really excited about that. Now I have some low calorie sweet treats for this diet that I have started, and lots of delish soup for my food storage! There are a lot of other really great deals, I just have a very full fridge at the moment! Yogurt is on sale and those Gogurts can be frozen, so you can stock up that freezer too. My kids love them in their lunch boxes. Happy shopping!
