Last Day for Coupons! HURRY!

Just a friendly reminder that today is LAST day of the month to print your printable coupons! I noticed that at Coupons.com, for me at least, they reset the Del Monte Pineapple coupon and the Starkist pouch coupon. Also, there is a coupon for $1.50 off two pkgs of Keebler Cookies. This high value coupon may be useful in a later sale, so be sure to print it today before it's gone!

Our Payless Bounty!

I was soooo excited to get that 50% off coupon for Payless and since I knew my daughter needed new shoes I was determined to use it before the coupon expired! Unfortunately I had to wait until Friday when we got paid again and I was afraid all of the good shoes would be gone! But, luckily they still seemed well stocked on Friday evening (although they were more busy than I ever seen them before)! I even saw friends there (one of my favorite things about sharing this blog with you)!

So these are the shoes we finally settled on (not the silver Hannah Montana ones that my daughter wanted :-) and two pairs of tights she needed to go with her church dresses (not pictured because they're washing).



 Total Spent after coupon $16.24! Maybe it's just me, but it seemed like the price of their shoes were higher than usual. Her shoes were originally priced at $24.99!!!

I would LOVE to hear if you went and what deals you were able to find!!! Comment below!

SAFEWAY DEALS!

Do you mind if I get on my Soap box for just a minute? In the past I have had "issues" with Safeway. First of all, I trek all the way into town (sometimes JUST for Safeway) and then I end up leaving with nothing because of some "problem." It bugs me that they will only take 1 of each printed coupon and then you can't use their coupons unless spend $20 first. And in all honesty, I sometimes don't pay close attention to the bottom of the coupons and so I mess up the deal myself. But they DON'T usually have very good deals in the first place so it's not worth spending $20 on things I will get so much cheaper elsewhere. Anyway, thanks for listening. I hope your experiences at Safeway have been better than mine. And occasionally you can get a really good deal on a couple of items, but sometimes I wonder if it's worth the headache! :-)

My list for the best prices I see at Safeway the week of Oct. 28th - Nov. 3rd

P.S: All coupons that are less than a dollar can be doubled, tripled, quadrupled, etc. up to $1 this week!
Rancher's Reserve Boneless Beef Londonbroil $1.77lb.

Coupons.com

Go to Coupons.com to print some GREAT Coupons! There's a coupon for a FREE sandwich from QT and I believe this is the 6TH TIME they have reset it!!! Usually you can only print 2 of each coupon for the entire month, but occasionally they will reset a coupon. But 6 TIMES??!!! That's unheard of and great news for all of us!!! Also, for those who say you never get coupons on the things you really buy (like fruit) there's a coupon for .75 off a Del Monte Pineapple. Fry's will double your coupons up to $1 and these were recently on sale for $1 making the pineapple FREE!!! So print these right away, since they only allow so many prints and then they take the coupon away!

Old Navy's Hidden Coupons!!! $75 off $100!!!

Have you heard about the Old Navy Hidden Coupons? This is so much fun! Every week Old Navy updates their page with a new scene. What you have to do is click around on different items and try to put them in different places. For example, If you wave your mouse over a scarf and your mouse turns into the hand thingy, then you know you can move it and you have to find where it belongs (around someone's neck, in their purse, etc.) When you find the right place a coupon will pop up and tell you if it's still available or not. Then you just enter your info and they email it to you. You can even find another coupon and email it to a friend! At the top of the page it will tell you which coupons are still available. They always update around Thursday (since that is when the old coupons expire). So watch today and tell us if you find one and for how much! I'll post their locations ASAP! HAPPY HUNTING!!! Go HERE!

Fry's Deal!



The Nature Valley Nut Clusters are priced at $1.57ea. wyb 4 this week at Fry's. I used 8 coupons for $1.60/1 and got them all free! Now I want to share the wealth!



I'm having a drawing for 4 of these coupons. All you have to do is become a follower of Money Saving Junkie. After you've joined just leave a comment at the bottom of this post to let me know you're now a follower. Then I'll randomly pick one person tommorrow morning at 9AM! That's it! BEST OF LUCK TO YOU ALL!

FREE Panties at Victoria's Secret!!!

When you join Pink Nation Here you will be able to print a coupon for a free panty and $10 off a bra at Victoria's Secret. Plus, new members get a $5 Tee! They've had a lot of free (or really inexpensive) deals lately so I would say it's definitely worth signing up for!


FREE Chex Mix!



In case you hadn't heard yet, Target will Price Match with other stores now! The only downside is you have to pay for all the items you're pricematching at the Customer Service Counter. If you get a copy of the current Walgreen's Ad (you can pick one up right inside the door) they have listed Chex Mix (the larger bags) for $1.50. Then you can use the $1/1 Target Coupon Here and the coupons for .50 OFF HERE, HERE, HERE, AND HERE for a total of FREE. Remember you can Print 2 of each coupon. Also, Buyer Beware...I've had some trouble with Target since this is so new to most of their employees. The Target Coupon says "Limit one offer per transaction" so I usually do a couple of different small transactions. But some cashiers don't mind and will ring it all up together. It just depends on who you get.

Great Christmas Gift for $1!!!


For those of you who live near Dollar General (which if you live near me there is one downtown) you can go there and they have Mr. Potato Head on sale for $3. Then you can print the coupon above HERE twice by hitting the "back" button 3 times, and get $2 off each one. Tadaaa! 2 Christmas Gifts for only $1 each! Or you could even donate them for the Holidays if you don't have anyone small enough to give them to. There are also a lot of other Toy Coupons you could print for some possibly good deals this Holiday Season!

* I just read that you may want to call ahead to make sure your store takes printable coupons. I don't encounter this problem very often, but it's better to check before you make the trip. I called my store today and they said they will take them as long as they have a barcode (which they do)!

$25 Restaurant Gift Certificate for ONLY $3!!!



My Sister-in-law told me about this great deal! Go to Restaurant.com to get 70% off a $25 gift card. That makes it ONLY $3!!! Use the code PUMPKIN through Oct. 25th, 2009. For those of you who haven't done this before I believe there are a list of restaraunts for you to choose from in your area and I'm pretty sure you have to spend a certain amount to use the coupon, but it still works out to a GREAT DEAL! Go to their website and check out all the details!

FRUGAL MENU MONDAY!

OKAY, so I've never eaten beans for a whole week before, but I always hear people talking about how good they are for you and how inexpensive they are (especially if you buy them dried instead of canned). So I figured we would give it a try (although I have to admit I'm a bit worried to try this because of the reputation beans have :-). I'll be posting my pictures each day of the meals we eat and give you the recipe and my rating 1(low) - 5(high).
Menu Plan:
Monday - Doesn't count. Birthday dinner with Mom.
Tuesday - Tacos and Burritos
Wednesday - Skillet Tamales
Thursday - Nachos
Friday - Split Pea Soup
Saturday - Chili (Halloween Party)
I would love to hear what bean recipes you have and what you rate them at!
