If you have paper coupons that I don't have feel free to add it to the comment section so that others can know about them. Remember after you load these to your card to print out a list so you know what coupons you have. These don't expire until June 30th, so there is reason to believe that these items will go on sale sometime during that time AND that more paper coupons will become available.

Okay ladies got to run. Due to activities and sickness we have had a 4 day weekend and now it is time to get back to the weekly grind so I am going to head out. I hope that I have helped each of you save some money today. Again this post may look "strange". When I went to print a coupon it messed up and so I cancelled out and when I did I lost my screen. When you do that you have to use edit to fix the post and that just makes for a big mess! I had already completed all that P&G stuff so there was NO WAY that I was going to start over...:) Anyway, I hope it is ledgable. Enjoy the post. Thanks for those who let me know about my email, it is now working. It took 3 calls AND being switched to an ADVANCED technician to do something as simple as tell me to retype my password! Oh, well, knowledge is power.

Weekly sales via Felicia

First of all just to let you guys know I am having some trouble with my email. It seems that email is going out but I can't get in to come in, so I need your help. Since before I started blogging I have been emailing alot of you and I still do that just to let you know the blog is up. Well today when I send that email there will be a request for a comment here. Just let me know if you are getting my emails. Thanks!

Since I won't have any email deals we are just going to go through the sale ads. Remember that I pick what I think is the best deal. That does not mean everything on sale, just the stuff that I think is really good.

Monday, Dec. 1st

This week will probably start off slow as I get back into the swing of things, but hopefully we will finish well.

Christmas idea: Go to a local craft show, look around for an item that you can reproduce that doesn't cost an arm and a leg, purchase, and duplicate. Buy materials and make one for everybody that you needed a simple gift for. I have made tons of presents this way just by copying others great ideas.

What a Black Friday! Myself and two others went to 12 stores (if our calculations are correct) in 10 1/2 hours. We hit 3 Walmart stores, 2 Target stores, Big Lots, Radio Shack, HHgregg, and the list just goes on and on. I am glad to say that we survived and it is over. But if you missed out on Black Friday then don't miss out today on CYBER MONDAY! Lots of stores will be having sales today so check your favorite sites and see what they offer.

Don't forget ladies that the Kmart doubles started yesterday. This is were you can double your coupons $2 and under. I wanted to give everyone a warning, make sure that you know how much your product cost and watch EVERY COUPON as they scan it to make sure that the item doubles or goes up to the price of the product. Yesterday we had a big probably with coupons that were off of 2 items. Here is an example so you know what to look for:
Herbal Essences shampoo $2.89 a piece
Buy 2 to use $2 coupon
$2.89 + $2.89 = $5.78 - $2 c - $2 dc = $1.78 for two,
That is what should have happened BUT the computer kept taking $2 and the .89. The manager could understand that it should take $2 off twice because it wasn't going over the product price, BUT THE CASHIER beside us kept saying you had to have 2 coupons, well you can't have two coupons for this because you had to have 2 items to use the coupon! It took forever to check out because of this one issue on several coupons, so keep watch and make them do it right.
Here are some items you can get for free with your coupons:
Kotex lightdays $1.29 - $1 c - .29 dc = free
pledge wipes $2.50 - $1.50 c - $1 dc = free
Revlon nail clippers $1.79 - $1 c - .79 dc = free
Revlon emery boards $1.49 - $1 c - .49 dc = free
Revlon tweezer $1.99 - $1 c - .99 dc = free
Dove Shampoo $3.79 - $2 c - $1.79 dc = free
Tums smoothers $1.89 - $1 c - .89 dc = free
Almost free:
Rice Krispies $2.50 - $1 c - $1 dc = .50
Apple Jacks $2.50 - $1 c - $1 dc = .50
Knorr side dishes x2 $2 - .75 c - .75 c = .50 (for two or .25 a piece)
Ziploc bowls $2.50 - $1 c - $1 dc = .50
Hershey kiss $2.33 - $1 c - $1 dc = .33
Dove shampoo $3.79 - $1.50 c - $1.50 dc = .79
Suave lotion $2.50 - $1 c - $1 dc = .50 (this was a HUGE bottle)

I hope this helps you guys to plan. Really watch your prices. I noticed 4 items that came up different than I expected while going over my receipt just now. Good luck.
