On the Road


I know I've apologized a ton this week, but I really am sorry for the lack of posting. I was only without power for 23 hours, so that's not my biggest excuse. I always plan a ton for my children's Birthday parties, so that took a lot of my time and then my parents are still without power right now and I've been helping them with laundry and a little bit of ice relief.

I am also currently sitting in a hotel only 5 miles from the Florida border on my way to Walt Disney World! That has taken tons of time to prepare for since I saved most of the prep work for after my daughter's party. But alas, I should be able to post some deals this week when I get a chance, so thanks again for being patient and come October, things should be back to normal!!
Have a great weekend and hopefully not a windy and dark one!!

Update, Sorry So Late

I'm sorry, I just can't get it together this week. I'm running around doing tons of different things and unfortunately I just don't have time to shop let alone post the deals. So here's a few links to bloggers who have posted deals for this week.

MoneySavingMom posted CVS and Walgreens deals

StretchingABuck posted Kroger and Meijer deals (note, she uses Columbus ads and coupon policies so a few of the deals may be a bit different)

Again, I'm sorry, thanks for your patience!!

Sunday September 14th, A Whirlwind Day!!

Yay, I have power again!!!

Boy what a whirlwind (pun intended!!) weekend that was!! We had scheduled our daughter's 6th Birthday party for Sunday evening and wow, did that turn out to be exciting!! About half our guests made it to the party although the lights were out and we couldn't cook food in the kitchen. We were able to grill up some burgers and hotdogs and luckily I had put in a big Stouffer's Mac N Cheese in the oven when the lights started flickering and by the time we needed it (about 3 hours later) the oven had been hot enough to keep it nice and toasty in there! So we had burgers, hotdogs, mac n cheese and potato chips! Plus the cupcakes I made!! It turned out to be a very nice and very memorable party!!

But now I'm very behind in my posts! I still need to do CVS, Meijer and Kroger, which I will try to get done today. Now that the power is on, there's other things I need to get done as well like laundry because I need to pack for vacation! We're leaving for Walt Disney World on Friday and won't be back until Wednesday October 1st! So the next few weeks, the posts on here will probably be sparse due to my getting ready for vacation and during the actual vacation. I will have the laptop with me, so hopefully I can get up the stores deals for the weeks I'm gone!!

So anyway, check back here today for the 3 stores deals post (that's if you have power and can find a store to shop at!!). I'll post them all under this post, so everyone can see this post at the top! Thanks for your patience!! I hope everyone is safe and rode out the storm ok and that all of our power will be back on soon!!

Meijer - Aunt Millie's Muffins

Today I ran into Meijer because I had heard that Thursday mornings are great for them having lots of stock (that was right, they had pretty much everything in stock!) and I found that they had price dropped Aunt Millie's Whole Grain Muffins to 1.50.

Bigg's - Scenario Idea for Cereal & Milk Deal (9/8)


With all the great tips on the Bigg's Cereal & Milk deal, I thought I'd just share one scenario I came up with which might make for a great deal.
Buy 10 boxes of Regular Cheerios = 20.00
Buy 3 boxes of either Multigrain Cheerios or Cocoa Puffs = 6.00
Buy 3 Gallons of Milk

You'll get 5.00 off automatically for buying $25 worth of GM products
You'll get the 3 milks free automatically.
Use 2 of each of these 5 coupons (10 total) found here, here, here, here, & here (you should be able to print them twice each) for the Cheerios.
Use 3 of the .75 off 1 coupons found here or here for the Multigrain Cheerios or Cocoa Puffs.

You're total will then be 8.75 for 13 boxes of cereal and 3 gallons of milk!!

Plus you'll have 3 milk points (you get 9 and you get a free gallon of milk).

Thanks so much to baldscreen from CincyMoms and Amy W. for the great tips and coupon links for that deal!
*Note, I haven't tried this deal to make sure it would work. I'm not sure if you'll be able to get all 3 milks free in one transaction. If you try this please let us know how it went for you! Thanks!!

Kroger & Target - Campbell's, Old el Paso & Kashi

Well thanks to MoneySavingMom and Anonymous FGD, I was able to get these two great deals at Kroger and Target. First Kroger. I got 10 boxes of Old el Paso Taco Shells, 5 packs of Old el Paso Taco Seasoning and 16 cans of Campbell's Chicken Noodle/Tomato Soups. All of these products qualified for the special at Kroger where you buy 15 products and get $3 off automatically.

So I got $6 off for that deal
Then I used 5 peelie coupons off the boxes of shells for a free seasoning mix when you buy 2 other Old el Paso products
I also used five .55 off 2 Old el Paso products (for the shells)
I also used four .40 off 4 coupons for the soup.

My total before coupons and deals was 22.94
My coupon savings was 11.54
I saved 6.00 with the Kroger deal
I ended up paying 5.40 for all of that!

At Target, I got 4 Kashi products, 2 @ 2.69 each and 2 @ 2.75 each. I used four 2.00 off 1 coupons found here. I also got 1 Quaker Instant Oatmeal @ 2.50 and used a .50 off 1 coupon from the 9/7 inserts. My total then was 4.88. I used a 5.00 Gift Card from the Pop-Tart deals last week and then I got another 5.00 Gift Card back for buying 4 Kashi products!! So all of that and I didn't pay a penny and walked out with another Gift Card!



Thanks so much to everyone who shares their tips!! I know I truly appreciate it!!

Bigg's - Cereal and Milk Deal


I found a pretty good deal at Bigg's this week (9/8):
Buy 4 boxes of select General Mills Cereal and get a free gallon of milk at checkout. The included varieties of cereal are:
  • Regular Cheerios
  • Apple Cinnamon Cheerios
  • Multigrain Cheerios
  • Cocoa Puffs
  • Wheaties
  • Golden Grahams
  • Kix
The cereal is priced at 4 for $8.00. Click here for coupons for the Regular Cheerios (.55 off 2), Multigrain Cheerios (.75 off 1) and Cocoa Puffs (.75 off 1). And click here for coupons for Kix (.75 off 1). If you buy 4 cereals that have .75 off 1 coupons, you will spend only 5.00 for 4 boxes of cereal and 1 gallon of milk. Not too bad!!
I believe, as you ring up your milk and cereal, the milk will automatically come off. It doesn't say if you can do it more than once per transaction, I guess you'll just have to try it and see. It says it excludes chocolate milk.
I called the Bigg's in Mason to be sure they take internet coupons and they said they do, so hopefully that's true for all locations!

Meijer - Spaghetti & Skyline



Meijer is having a 4-day sale (Wednesday thru Saturday) and there are a few good deals to mention.

Meijer brand pasta (spaghetti or elbows) are on sale for .49 each.

Skyline Chili is 1.88.

Skyline Cheese is 2.00.

So for only $4.37, you can make 3-ways at home for your family! (Includes 1 box of spaghetti, 1 can of chili and 1 bag of cheese). That's much cheaper than visiting the restaurant!

Thanks Lauren for alerting me to the sale!




Target - Pop Tarts & Cheetos

Today I went to Target and got a couple of great grocery deals.

I got 4 large boxes of Pop-Tarts for $9. I used two 1.00 off 2 coupons from the 8/3 Kellogg insert and I used four .50 off 1 coupons from here (these are Target Store coupons and can be combined with manufacturer coupons). So I paid $5, but to make it even better, I got a free $5 giftcard for purchasing the 4 products! I would've liked to do it again and use the 1st giftcard to make my out of pocket 0, but they only had 3 boxes left! I'll try another Target later in the week!


I also found that Cheeto's are price dropped to 2.00. I used the 1.00 off 1 coupon here and paid only 1.00 a bag! I was pretty excited about those finds!

CVS - September Monthly Deals



The September monthly deals are less than hot and in fact, I can't find anything that I would qualify as a good deal. So here's a link to all the offerings for this month in case you want to see them!

If you find anything good, please share with us!!

(Next weeks deals are looking pretty good, so there is hope!!)
