Here is a rare opportunity to get 4 prints of a coupon on one computer… and what a good coupon it is!

This coupon is good for any Silk product, quart, half gallon or 4-pack of singles.  If your store doubles coupons (like Shaw’s), you will get $1.50 off! And if your store has a reduced dairy section (like Shaw’s), you might just score some FREE Silk with this coupon! I often find Silk marked down to $1 or $1.50, so FREE after this coupon doubles!

You can get 2 prints using each link… that’s 4 prints per computer! You will have to log in or register on the site, but for 4 coupons, it’s worth it!

Thank you I Heart the Mart and Living Rich with Coupons!

Wednesdays are always a busy day for me because I have my TOPS meeting (Take Off Pounds Sensibly) and I need to leave my house at 3:30pm.  And I’m especially behind today because I got up later than normal. So, I don’t really have the time to hunt for coupons like I’d like to.

That gave me an idea! I thought it might be fun to round up some coupon detectives! Don’t know what a coupon detective is? It’s someone who searches different zip codes to see if there are different coupons available to print! Yes, we can print and use coupons from any zip. Just be aware that some zips will have coupons for items that you can’t buy in your area.

Let’s play with coupons.com.  You can use the coupons.com widget on my blog. It seems to load faster for me than the site.

Start by typing in your own zip code. Then look at the numbers on the categories.  Example: For my zip of 04073, I see there are 144 coupons total with 28 of those in Food.  If I use 77477, I see there are 155 coupons total with 35 in Food!  That means that zip is offering lots more coupons!

Now here’s where being a detective comes into play… I see $.50/1 Maggi soup over at 77477, but I don’t see it on 04073. BINGO! I spotted a coupon I would not have normally found!

If your Walmart carries Maggi soup (remember, even though you are allowed to use any coupon under any zip code, your region might not carry that soup), you should be able to pick up that soup for FREE because others are reporting it sells for around 44¢! It’s even a little money maker!

See how fun that was?  Okay, fun for me. Maybe not for everyone… lol!

Here are some of the zips I normally use (hint: they don’t have to be real zip codes):
04073
12345
20090
30013
33333
40231
55555
60051
77072
77477
90210
99599
and more!

Note: You get 2 prints per coupon per computer. Normally if you print your 2 print on one zip code that’s all you get. However, there are times when each region has it’s one code, like the time we were able to print International Delight coupons from 7 different regions… remember that?

Go ahead and play with it, and if you spot a coupon that you think is hiding, please do tell! And remember, you can print 3 coupons per page so if you find one coupon you like, try to find at least one or two more to save on paper.

Now, get to work, my little detectives, while I get ready for my meeting!  Oh, want to join me at TOPS?  Click here for details!  I hope to see you there!!!  Really, I mean it! Join TOPS and we can chat about coupons before the meeting!

I was able to snag this free tea sample at 12:45pm on Wed. Hopefully it’s still available for you too! This will be perfect for my mother’s Easter basket!

I am printing this baby and keeping it near and dear to my heart because I found Athenos Feta Cheese in Shaw’s reduced deli yesterday! I didn’t notice the price, but I noticed it had a $2 off peelie on it. If I find that again and I have this lovely coupon that will double to $1.50 off, I’m gonna score some cheap feta!

Or course, this coupon is not just for me. You can print it too!  I’ll race you to Shaw’s! LOL

Thanks for the heads up I Love to Gossip!

There are a bunch of new Fisher-Price coupons that just came out! If you have a baby on the way or need a gift for a baby shower, these coupons might come in handy!

Another thing you could do is print the coupons then leave them at the store at the coupon center or on/near the items. You might want to ask your store if you are allowed to tape a coupon to an item so it won’t just get tossed. Imagine how happy someone would be to see a $20 coupon on a babygear swing that they just happen to be buying!!!

• $20.00 off any Fisher-Price babygear swing
• $10.00 off any Fisher-Price babygear
• $5.00 off Fisher-Price Laugh & Learn Puppy’s
• $5.00 off Fisher-Price Kick & Play Piano Gym
• $5.00 off Laugh & Learn Love to Play Puppy
• $5.00 off any Little People toy
• $10.00 off Fisher-Price Musical Table
• $5.00 off any Imaginext toy purchase of $24.99

There is a new coupon hiding over at zip code 90210 for $1.25 off any one I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter product!

If you shop at Market Basket, they have the ICBINB 15 oz tubs on sale for $2.00 this week, so only $.75 each after the coupon!

This coupon will not be around for long, so print quick!

$1.25/1 ICBINB printable coupon – Use zip 90210 then click on Foods to find it. You get 2 prints per computer.

I could kick myself!!!  I saw reduced garlic bread yesterday at Shaw’s marked down to $1.25… the usual reduced price. I never bother picking it up because I don’t like to pay that much for bread.

I just checked and there is a Shaw’s store coupon this week for $1 off garlic bread! That brings the price of a loaf down to just 25¢! Even I will dish out a quarter for a loaf of garlic bread!

Print a few of these Shaw’s Store Coupons and keep them handy for when you shop the reduced sections. If you forget to bring them with you, most Shaw’s will have some prints available for you… just ask!

Right now, Target has 4×6 photos on sale for 10¢ each. Order 10, then use the printable coupon to get $1 off 10 prints to get them for FREE!

One of the most fun survey panels is sending out invitations to have new members sign up! I wish so bad I could get in on this gig!

Why is this a fun survey panel? Because National Consumer Panel (NCP) sends qualified members a hand scanner. You scan all your purchases then send the info to them one a week. In exchange, you earn points for awesome gifts! There are cash incentive surveys too!

Why am I not part of the excitement? Because I have yet to qualify… boo hoo, boo hoo. Shoppers already mistake me for a store employee because I’m there with my clipboard taking notes and doing price checks. I’d feel super special if I could holding a scanner too!

If you are curious to see if NCP is at least accepting members in your area, you can fill out the little bit of info on the first page.  If I remember correctly, if your area is NOT needed, they will tell you right away.

If you are prompted to fill out a questionnaire, that means they ARE looking for new members in your area, but you are not guaranteed to get in. You have to fill out all the info (beware, the questionnaire can be lengthy) and the answers to your questions will determine if you get in or not. Answer honestly.

It’s at least worth checking your zip code to see if it gets your foot in the door!  Then you can decide if you want to fill out the questionnaire.

And of course, all this is FREE!  It’s even free to send back the scanner any time you want to quit.

Remember all that FREE Fresh Express I was getting last month? I was picking up Fresh Express in reduced produce at Shaw’s and using a $.55/1 coupon (coupon doubled) to get FREE bags of salad or sometimes for $.15 per bag.

I don’t know how many bags I bought throughout January, but I see by a quick count in my $12 Challenge that I picked up something like 21 bags during the last 2 weeks of the month. And I’m sure I missed some transactions. I bet in all of January I picked up at least 40 bags… and I ate salad every day.  Sometimes all day!

I know for sure when the coupon expired on 1/31 that I had 16 bags of salad in my refrigerator.  They were all either the tender greens or the red leafy and those last so long! It’s really only iceberg and romain (the wet lettuce) that does not last that long.

What’s my point?  I have none, really.  Oh… yes I do!  It’s that you don’t have to walk away from reduced produce just because you think it will go bad. As you can see, my lettuce is awesome and the exp date on the bags (this was taken from two bags, one red and one green) was 1/29. The only reason the salad is wet in the pic is because I washed it.

My other point is that it’s very possible to stock up on stuff, even stuff like lettuce and not waste it!  You just have to be willing to eat what you have in stock. I the only person who ate all the salad I bought, with the exception of my mother eating it maybe a few times. JUST ME!  And I never tossed any out.  Every single bit was consumed.  I know I had 16 bags on Jan 31 and today is Feb 19, so that means I ate 16 bags in 19 days!  I enjoy saving money SO MUCH that I’m willing to eat the same thing over and over again (it helps that I’m not fussy) so I don’t have to spend money on other things.  Is salad the only thing I ate? Of course not. I have lots of stuff in my stockpile. But I filled up on salad first.

And now I will miss my daily salad feast.  Hopefully Fresh Express will come out with another coupon because once I get something for FREE, I never want to pay for it again. I wonder how long I’ll go now before I buy salad again?

This is the 4th week in a row that Hannaford does not have a catalina coupon for us when we scan our Hannaford stickers (2/19-2/25). Seems like they need to come up with something on a weekly basis to reward those who take the time to order those little stickers!

However, their weekly email boasts that we can now rate and review their products, so that might be fun! It looks like you have to sign up for the Hannaford sticker to be allowed to rate and review.

Another thing Hannaford keeps promoting on a weekly basis is SavingStar. If you are a SavingStar member, you must scan your Hannaford sticker every time you shop so you can get your SavingStar refunds. Learn about SavingStar here. And check out the SavingStar Quaker deal where you get $5 back for spending $15!

If you would like to see a weekly catalina coupon at Hannaford or if you would like Hannaford to change their policy to allow coupon stacking, call 1-800-341-6393, ask for Robin Woodbury’s voice mail and leave a quick message!

There is a new coupon hiding over at another zip code for $5 off 5 boxes of Kellogg’s.  Now, that is not the best deal around as far as cereal goes because it only knocks $1 off per box. But it’s hard to get even $1 off coupons for Kellogg’s! So grab this! If we get a good sale, it will give us a nice break from all the General Mills cereal we have in our stockpiles!

Another good thing about this coupon is that if there is a great sale, with 2 coupons you could score 10 boxes!

$5/5 any Kellogg’s Cereal – use zip 84121 then click on Foods to find it

Thanks for the heads up I Love to Gossip!

I know lots of couponers are reporting that their Shaw’s are out of Cheerios and other items that are part of the General Mills Buy 10, Get $5 Instant Savings sale.  I want to remind you that you can get a rain check and still get the GM sale price on your items!

Here’s how…

Be sure you tell the person writing your rain check that you would have purchased 10 items to get the GM sale price. For instance, if you were shopping for cereal and just cereal, and if they didn’t have any of the cereal you wanted, have them write the raincheck as “must buy 10 boxes of Cheerios at $1.49 each, 4 pb, 4 multi grain, 2 dulce de leche” (or whatever) so you can still get 10 FREE boxes of Cheerios with your coupons later!

If you don’t ask for the rain check in batches of 10, like if you ask for just 2 boxes of Peanut Butter Cheerios, you are supposed to get the normal sale price of $1.99, not the GM price of $1.49, so try to find at least 10 items that are not in stock!

Here’s another tip for you!  Let’s say for whatever reason you can’t print the coupons now, or can’t print enough for 10 boxes (like if you only have one computer). If your store is out of cereal, go get a rain check for 10 boxes because new coupons might come out at the beginning of the month and you’ll have more coupons and an awesome rain check to match them too.  I have actually hoped to find cleared shelves on certain items just so I could get a rain check for later when I knew I’d have shiny new coupons to use on them :O)

In the example below, you would have two choices. You could print the Knorr coupon as is and get $.65 off, or you could watch the video then print the coupon and you’d get an additional $.70 off… so the coupon prints as $1.35 off. That’s great for this coupon because the Video Rewards coupon is even higher than if the $.65 was doubled.

They also have Video Rewards for the Peanut Butter Cheerios. In this case, those of us who want FREE CEREAL at Shaw’s would NOT want to use the Video Rewards because it would only add $.30 to the coupon, so the final value would be $1.10, and that’s not as good as an $.80 coupon that doubles to $1.60 off… so plan your Video Rewards wisely!

If you already printed the cereal coupons, you will no longer see the Video Reward option. But, if you have not printed this Knorr Stock coupon, you can check it out to see what I mean.

It’s official folks, the peanut butter and dulce de leche (caramel) Cheerios are included in the Buy 10, Get $5 Instant Saving sales at Shaw’s! Only trouble is… will your store have them in stock? I have not checked Sanford yet, so not sure.

If you find stock at your Shaw’s, you can score 10 FREE BOXES by mixing and matching the various Cheerios and using printable coupons. How is that possible? Well, the cereal is on sale at Shaw’s for $1.99 each, but when you buy 10 participating items you save $5 instantly, so you save $.50 per item. That brings the total of each box down to $1.49 each. The coupons will all double so you will get at least $1.50 off per box… that makes them all FREE! (some are getting $.80/1 pb Cheerios on coupon network – I did, I did – so that might result in an overage if the cashier does not catch it)

A note about “like” coupons: One thing you need to remember is that Shaw’s will only double 4 “like” coupons. “Like” coupons are coupons that are for the exact same item and the exact same value. Two $.75 off coupons for peanut butter Cheerios are “like” coupons because they are both for $.75 off and both for peanut butter Cheerios. If you use 8 of those coupons (even if you print them from different sites), only the first 4 would double, then you’d only get $.75 off the last 4 boxes. But if you bought 8 boxes of peanut butter Cheerios and you use (4) $.75 off and (4) $.80 off coupons, all 8 coupons would double because you are only using 4 “like” coupons in each batch.

Below are some coupons you can try to print (may or may not be available) and also a shopping scenario:

$.75/1 Multi Grain Cheerios printable coupon (get instructions here)
$.80/1 Peanut Butter Cheerios (value is regional)
$.75/1 Peanut Butter Cheerios
$0.75/1 Cheerios Dulce de Leche Cereal printable
$0.75/1 Cheerios Dulce de Leche Cereal printable
$0.75/1 Cheerios Dulce de Leche Cereal printable
$0.75/1 Cheerios Dulce de Leche Cereal printable
$0.75/1 Cheerios Dulce de Leche Cereal printable - Cool Savings

For this shopping scenario, you must have access to 2 computers because you only get 2 prints per computer. I have an alternative scenario below for anyone with just one computer below.

Buy (4) Multi Grain Cheerios at $1.49 wyb 10
Buy (4) Peanut Butter Cheerios at $1.49 wyb 10
Buy (2) Dulce de Leche Cheerios at $1.49 wyb 10
Use (4) $.75/1 Multi Grain Cheerios printable coupon
Use (4) $.80/1 Peanut Butter Cheerios (or $.75/1)
Use (2) $0.75/1 Dulce de Leche Cheerios printable
all coupons will double
Final price is FREE for all 10 boxes (with possible $.44 overage if you have the $.80/1 coupons, so grab something worth $.44 just in case)

If you only have access to one computer, try this scenario… assuming you can print these coupons:

Buy (4) Peanut Butter Cheerios at $1.49 wyb 10
Buy (2) Multi Grain Cheerios at $1.49 wyb 10
Buy (2) Dulce de Leche Cheerios at $1.49 wyb 10
Buy (2) Betty Crocker Potatoes
Use (2) $.80/1 Peanut Butter Cheerios
Use (2) $.75/1 Peanut Butter Cheerios
Use (2) $.75/1 Multi Grain Cheerios printable coupon
Use (2) $0.75/1 Dulce de Leche Cheerios printable
Use (1) $.50/2 Betty Crocker Potatoes printable
You will get 8 boxes of FREE cereal then you pay only $.98 for the two boxes of potatoes after the coupon doubles… or only $.54 total (just $.27 each) if you get the overage! You could also do Totino’s instead of potatoes… or any other participating items.

Did you know you can look through yearbooks on classmates.com?  You can!  I’ve never been to that site but seeing yearbooks with photos of over 30 million people made me fly there. I’ve got a few people I want to look up!

I see they have my high school yearbooks, but my old slow poke computer is not letting the page load at the moment. So, while I wait, I’m sending you there too!
