Smith's Sale

I headed to Smiths quickly today to see what I could get with their new sale on the last day of the month (several coupons expire on the last day of the month).  

I was able to get some great deals!!!  

They have Herbal Essence shampoo/conditioner/ and some styling products for $2.99 and then $1.99 with the buy 4 save $4  (you can get other kinds for a bit more money).  So, $1.99 (pair that with a coupon from SS 3/9 for $3.00 off 2 and I paid $.49 per item.  That coupon expires today, but there is another coupon for $1.00 off in the P&G for this month which still makes for $.99 Herbal Essence which is a great price.  

Kellogs Special K is also on sale for $2.49 but with the buy 4 save $4 it is $1.49.  Pair that with the coupon for Red Plum from 4/27 and ibotta and you can get each box $.49.  

I also got Greek yogurt for FREE!  I don't know if all the stores had this up (and I don't know if my store still has this deal, however it is worth looking for).  

Let us know what great deals you find!!!  These were a couple other sales that I thought may be of interest:

So, was able to get all this for under $10 with my $2.25 back in rebates from ibotta!  If you want to learn how, give me a call or send me a message and I would love to help you!!!

Saving money both in store and online

I love to use ibotta!  They often have rebates on milk, cereals, granola bars, and other items my family buys regularly.  I can get the item, use a coupon and then rebate that same item on ibotta!  Often items that are listed make for some really great deals or even FREE items.  Both my husband and I have it on our phones so that when we shop I can do two separate transactions and get more back.  Between the two of us we have already rebated near $80 in just a few months of use.  

Recently ibotta has released a new rebate category; Apparel.  There are some options in-store but many options online.  To qualify for your rebate through ibotta for online shopping, you must shop through their link.

Couponing and how I do it :)

I have been couponing for a few years now.  I began when I had my second child and we needed a way to make ends meet.  It was couponing, or finding a job for me and so I subscribed to a newspaper and began.  At first I did a binder method and cut the coupons I knew I would use.  It took about an hour each Sunday or Monday and then I would do it again the next week.  I liked the binder method because at the store I could easily find a coupon, however often times I had thrown out coupons that could get me free items or that I thought I would not use and would have...

So, I then began the file method, which is what I currently use.  I have 2 file folders.  One I put my P&G coupons in as well as Red Plum (and my shopping lists).  The other I put all my Smart Source coupons in (pictured below).  You can get file folders nearly anywhere.  I initially got mine at Target but you can also get them HERE.  

 So, I hoard all my coupons in my file folders.  Then, when I get ready to go shopping I pull all the coupons that I will be using and put them into protective pages.  While I am shopping, I just pull out the coupon for the item as I go and then at the register, I just have to hand them the coupons in my pocket. These are the Protective pages I use.  

A lot of couponers will tell you to leave the stash of coupons at home, however, I take mine whenever I go shopping.  There are so many unadvertised deals that I want my coupons so that I don't miss them.  

That is  a fast version of how I coupon.  Look forward to more posts that go into greater depth.  

Freebies at Smith's till tomorrow!

 I wanted to let you know about some freebies at smiths!!!  This sale lasts till tomorrow and there are other great deals too!  (This just happened to be my favorite.) Savings of 100%!!!! (this is not always how shopping trips go.  Usually it is about 50% of savings)

 I know some stores did pull this deal, however the Layton Smiths is still honoring it.  You buy 4 save $4.  So make sure you get them in 4's.  I actually had got some more the night before and wanted to fill my can rotator in that slot so went and got more.

Preparing

Part of Preparing our SHELVES is making sure we are spiritually prepared for storms that may come our way!  I have been anxiously awaiting the news on the Ogden temple open house and re-dedication.  It is finally announced!!!

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints has Holy houses where we can serve the lord and make promises.  These are sacred places that we prepare to enter and treat with the utmost respect.  I love when temples are first built or renovated, because before they are dedicated, they have open houses where anyone can enter the doors and see what is inside and feel the special spirit that resides.  If you would like more information on temples the church has provided a great resource.  

The open house will be from Aug. 1- Sept. 6 with a cultural celebration on the 20th of Sept.  Then the temple will be re-dedicated on Sept 21, 2014!

Kmart Deals

Today we went out for after Easter Deals and while we were out we got a few other things as well.  

We stopped at Kmart and we found their kid's fall and winter clearance at $1.99 or LESS!!!

Every item on the rack is $1.99 or less.  I didn't get anything less than $1.99 but we did find a couple cute things!  

I will warn you, our store was pretty picked over but there were a few things we liked and for $1.99 who could beat that?

This is another site you can earn cash back through EBATES on!  You can currently earn 5% back!  Which is really quite a bit.  (If you want to know more about EBATES you can head HERE and I have a little about it).

A shopping trip on April 16

Yesterday I ran to the store to grab the last of my Easter list (however couldn't get some of it dueto it not being there). However, I was able to get a few other good/great deals that I thought I wouldshare with you.

This is my shopping list (later post to come with link to make yourself a copy). 

Almost everything I purchased was a price match with a coupon or at least a coupon. The pineapple was price matched for $1.00 and I had a coupon for $.50 off two making them $.75 each and normally they are $1.38 (or so).

The hot dogs were price matched to $.77 each, normally over $1.25

Hamburger helpers we price matched to $.79 with a coupon making them less than $.60 when they are normally over $1.30

The pies are one of my favorite deals though. They are on sale at Kent's for $3.99 I had $1.00 coupon off making them $2.99!

Last but not least, my freebies- all the frozen vegetables! There are onions and then onions and green peppers. I love using these for meal prep cause I don't have to do any work but dump, and they are FREE! 

Price match help

In order to price match, one must know the advertised deals.  Grocery Smarts has made that easy if you get in a hurry.  I like to double check ads because sometimes the items I want/need are not listed (and there aren't always sizes which is important to have) but this is a good place to get a little help when making your list.  

You can select your state, if you would like to look at a particular store that is also available.  Just go HERE to check it out!

Reasons I love Smiths

I LOVE Smiths!  They have some great deals.  But, have you ever taken the time to look at their close out items while you are shopping?  I always walk up and down the aisles and look for close out merchandise.  This last time I was at Smiths, I found Playtex Sport Tampons on Close out & Always Infinity on close out! 

 Check out how much I paid!!!   

Each box of tampons was priced at $1.89 and then I had a coupon for $1.00 off!  $.89 a box!!!!  

The pads were on close out for $2.84 and I had $1.00 off so ended up paying $1.84.

*** Close outs are not the same at each store, but it is always worth the extra couple minutes it takes me to see what is on close out when I am there anyway.  This is another reason I carry all my coupons with me each time I go shopping.  

Deals not advertised

 Went to Kmart yesterday and LOOK!  

All their clearance toys are an additional 50% off.  They had slinkies,  play phones, and lots of misc things to rummage through.

I found these skates (they had blue too).  With the additional 50% they were $11.  Plus on the shop your Way app there is an additional $3 off a toy purchase.  You could get some pretty great deals!!!

April Specials

It is a new month and so time for new specials!!!  There are some great deals for this month!  

Beef dices are a great item to have in your food storage!  And it is one that rarely comes on this much of a discount.  The applesauce and celery are also some great items that we use all the time!  I love the celery to put into things and I actually add applesauce in a lot of items as well.
