Free Boulder chips at QFC!

QFC is a hit and miss store, like most of them.  This week it's a hit!  I love the Mom's Best Natural Cereal for my kids and it's only $1, plus free Boulder chips!  I often get my meat at QFC, they have the same brand of free range Ranger chicken and Draper Valley chicken as Trader Joes and the Food Co-op, but I find it cheapest here or Top Foods on Manager Markdown. Let me know if you participate in the Mega Sale and what you are able to get!

On a side note, http://www.queenbeecoupons.com/ does a better job posting QFC deals usually but she hasn't done her matchups yet.

World Market

I don't go to World Market often but I love the store!  I am a rewards member (free) so I got a $10 off coupon for my birthday.  I combined it with the $10 off $30 purchase coupon from the paper to get GREAT deals on a brand of Organic tea that I love!  I got most of it for Teacher Appreciation gifts and Mother's Day gifts.  It is normally $5.99 a box and I got 5 boxes plus some seaweed (Avery LOVES it) for $10.94!!  Saved $20 bucks and got some fabulous gifts!

Target 5/1

http://couponconnectionsnw.com/2011/05/target-coupon-deals-week-51-57/ Just an FYI, I went to our local target in Lacey today and they were out of the Carefree liners, out of the men's Nivea body wash, didn't have the $1.48 color wonder sets that I could find, and said the Aveeno sunscreen gift card isn't at our store - ??  They did have a few Easter items 75% off so that's all I ended up getting.  I would call before going to see if they have items in stock.

Shannon's deals!

Check out these deals Shannon got!!  The Target one is awesome.  I LOVE restaurant.com, too!!
Here are the deals I have gotten this week:

$50 worth of restaurant gift certificates for $4.00 from Restaurants.com during their 80% off sale.

The second photo I would like to say something like: All this for only $0.16 before tax at Target!!  The Nivea body washes were $0.04 each after $3.00 off coupons.  The Carefree were each $0.01 with Target in-ad coupon for $0.01 each.  The Carefree liners will be donated to a women's shelter.  I also received a Catalina coupon for $0.50 off a Pizza Hut Express item.

Walgreens 5/1

There are some pretty good deals at Walgreens this week.  They can be a hard store to shop at, but Melissa said our local Fred Meyer will take the Walgreens Register Rewards!  I recommend ALWAYS checking at Fred Meyer first, just like she did.  It might depend on your store and manager?

Melissa's Deals! Send me YOUR pictures!

Melissa is a Coupon Queen!!  Here are just a few of the deals she is getting.  I know some of you are getting deals, too, so send me your pictures and details if you want to share!!  It's fun to "brag" to people who understand the coupon thing!!
At Walmart (Yelm) they actually had the $5 buzz operation games so I was able to get two of those, 3 formulas (money makers), purex (money maker) and the nail clippers (money maker) for .99!!!  (just partial tax, they owed me .09 after coupons)
I'm most proud of this couponing trip out of all of them so far. :o) 




At Target I spent a whopping $1.57 (all tax) which didn't even come out of my pocket.  I used the $5 Target G.C. I got with my Brita purchase the other day. :o)

Top Foods - produce, Tillamook, Organic Girl salad

Here are the Top Foods deals.  I have EXTRA $1 off Organic Girl coupons if you want one (exp 12/11)!  I also have extra .55 off Fresh Express coupons!

Grocery Outlet

Anyone shop at the Grocery Outlet?  Sometimes I love that place.  Today was one of those days.  They do not take coupons.  They have different stuff all of the time and you really have to look at the dates (to make sure thing aren't expired). 
I spent 29.82 on the above items and saved about $70.  I was REALLY excited about the Applegate turkey sandwich meat marked down to .99!  It can be up to $7.99 at other stores.  I got 8 of them.  Those were special markdown because they are dated for the 24th.  I put them straight in the freezer.  They have it for $2.95  there right now.  I also got organic cookies (1.49), Athenos greek yogurt (.50), 2 bottles of wine (2.99), a 60-pack of Nancy's all-natural mini quiches (4.99), Hershey's Bliss candy 1.99), Adelle's all natural breakfast sausage (3.99), dry black beans (.99) and plastic easter eggs (.99).
Let me know if you are a fan - or not!

Tomorrow last day for Albertson's double deals

Some weeks I don't do many double deals but this week I know I won't make it to the store enough!  Lots of deals.  Coupon connections said the coupon for the Aquafresh kids toothpaste makes it .19 after doubler.  I haven't checked our price yet....Here are some deals as a reminder.  And I posted my trip from today!
http://fabulesslyfrugal.com/category/albertsons
I spent 2.54 for all of this!  I did 3 transactions and used $4 in catalinas besides the doubles.  I got 4 boxes of cat food, 2 dozen eggs, 4 tropicana juices, classico pasta, 2 packs of greek yogurt, 2 spice packs and 2 grillmates seasonings!  I love Albertsons.

More deals you are getting!

Here are Melissa's deals for last week at Rite Aid.  I'm slow at posting....
I paid less than $8 on all of this! The hair color alone was $12! The candy was all free, I paid $3 for the Loreal shampoo and conditioner and I received a $2 +up reward from it.  I had coupons for all of the John Freida products including a $5 off of the hair color.  My $10 +up reward didn't print for some reason so the manager gave me a $10 Rite Aid gift card as a substitute.  I was super happy with this shopping trip and the cashier and manager were super nice.  I didn't have to say a word about the rewards not printing. The cashier saw it right away and took care of it no fuss.

Money Maker on Nivea Body wash starts Sunday!

I have really been wanting some free and cheap body wash for women.  Since starting to coupon shop in October, I've only gotten a few bottles and have given most of them away.  Fred Meyer has a good deal this week but I LOVE the money-making deal Coupon Connections lists here that will start Sunday!
http://couponconnectionsnw.com/2011/04/hot-nivea-body-wash-1-04-money-maker-0-04/

Albertsons 4/13 with double deals starting Sunday!

Here are the current Albertsons deals.  She even did double deals that will start Sunday!
http://couponconnectionsnw.com/2011/04/albertsons-coupon-deals-week-413-doubles-coming-sunday/

My deals today!

I got both of these today at Rite Aid for .98 cents total!  They are on clearance for half off, I had $1 coupons and I used 2 $1 Rite Aid VV coupons.  A blog had posted that these cereals and Folgers coffee are 75% off so I went to see, and not at our store.  Since this is organic and I don't want to keep checking back, I just decided to pay the extra and get them for .49 a box!  :)
Then I hopped across the street to Fred Meyer, they were out of the body wash I wanted.  But I used my Free milk coupon catalinas from Albertsons, and I used some FREE Fresh Express coupons I had.  I got All of this (the strawberries and milk are organic) for less than $5!!  Love it!

Albertsons better than FREE cereal and milk!

**Update:  Some people say this rebate may not work if you aren't an AARP member.  Might be a risk, still a good deal without the rebate, but a FAB deal with the rebate!
Wow!  Whether you are a brand new couponer, or an oldie :), this is a fab deal!  Queenbee lays it out very simply.  I believe we also have a coupon in the 3/6 inserts for $1/2 boxes.  I'm not sure if I'm going to wait for doubles or not for this deal, the gas rebate card is "while supplies last" which is always risky.  If you don't love these cereals, consider donating them to the food bank, women's shelter, or senior center in Olympia!!  Here's the link:
