Coupon Preview for August 30th

There are 3 inserts scheduled in Sunday's paper: 1 Red Plum, 1 SmartSource, and 1 Procter & Gamble.

Check out the full preview HERE.

On a side note, I ordered last week's whole inserts and some older inserts from AFC member clipperkc, and OH MY! There was a HUGE difference in the coupons we received here versus what they recieved and sent me! HUGE, I say! I may not buy papers locally anymore...It will cost more to order each week, but I'm thinking it's worth it most of the time. I can't wait to get clippin'!

Kroger MEGA SALE! (Part 2)

My Kroger stores are part of the Delta region. Advertisements run from Wednesday thru Tuesday.



You do need a "Kroger Card" for most sale prices. The card is free and can be obtained at the customer service desk.


My Kroger stores DOUBLE manufacturer's coupons up to and including 60 cents everyday. Up to 8 like coupons will double per transaction, all others will be redeemed at face value. They do accept internet coupons, but may limit the amount you can use per transaction. (I've also heard a nasty little rumor about certain cashiers not allowing Internet coupons to double.)


Kroger has a "Scan Rite" guarantee. If the item does not ring up correctly, you get it free. See customer service desk for details.


Kroger gives you .03 credit per reusable bag.


MEGA SALE: Buy 10 participating items, Get $5 off your order instantly! Must purchase in increments of 10. No limit. The Final prices below are the LOWEST possible amount based on all available coupons.

Walgreens Scenario (Good til Tomorrow ONLY!)

First, Print this $5 off $25 purchase coupon.

Scenario:

Buy (8) Suave deodorants @ $1.34 each
Use (4) .75 off 2 Manufacturer's coupons from 8/2 Red Plum insert

(You can substitute Skippy and Ragu instead of Suave Deodorant if you need those items more. They had coupons in the same insert. Just make sure you get 8 of the Unilever products, mix & match is fine. It won't be a "profitable" transaction, but a fantastic deal, nonetheless!)

Coupon Preview for August 9th

I'm still so flabbergasted by last week's coupons. How'd we got from 5 to 3? I did have someone local report that they dug and dug until they found some papers with 4 inserts...I guess I wasn't diligent enough going through only 5 papers! I always get stared at for looking through them, too. But I've taken home too many without all the right inserts!

I've worked something out with a fellow member at A Full Cup, so I'll be getting more inserts and coupons. :D

Now for this coming week, the preview shows 3 inserts: 2 SmartSource and 1 Red Plum.

Here are some I'm looking forward to:

$1 off 2 Bic Stationary Products (More FREE pens!)
$1 off Colgate Total
$3 off Bic Soleil (We don't usually get this one, though.)
.50 off Scott Naturals Flushable Wipes (We go through these like crazy!)
.55 off Land O'Frost Premium Lunchmeat
.55 off 2 Martha White Baking Mixes
Various Scotch coupons that will hopefully continue to match up with Back to School sales

One of the SmartSource inserts is CHOCK FULL of coupons that will match up to the (rumored) Mega Sale coming to Kroger on the 19th: Betty Crocker, General Mills, Pillsbury, Totino's, Fiber One, Nature Valley, Chex & Cheerios Mix.

The Coupon Clippers seems to be having some issues, so check out the full preview at Taylortown.

The cheapest place to get a local paper is Wal-Mart for 99 cents.

WHAT THE HECK?!?

I need some local reports of what coupons you got yesterday! All the papers I fished through only had 3 inserts! There were supposed to be 5!

I know my region misses out on some great q's and there was one time that we didn't get a P&G like everyone else, but WHAT THE HECK?!?

I'm so bummed....
