Wow! I just got this in the mail yesterday! Between January 28-31, get an extra 25% off AS MANY TIMES AS YOU WANT at Old Navy, Gap, and Banana Republic when you use your card! That gives you four days to hit all three stores! ;) I am not sure what kind of sales these places have going on, or will have going on during the promotion, but 25% off is a GREAT discount! There are a few exclusions, mostly at the Gap store, but for the most part you will get 25% off everything, including sale and clearance items! Oh boy...why do I have a feeling I could get in trouble with this one...!

Betty Crocker $10 Coupon booklet!


Head on over HERE to sign up to receive one of three Betty Crocker newsletters and when you do, they'll send you a $10 coupon booklet by mail that should arrive in 3-6 weeks! But, hurry! Supplies are limited!

Thanks Hip2Save!




Alrighty, I have decided to definitely make this a weekly post because I really do just enjoy seeing the true difference in what I'm saving my family. People tend to think that Walmart is the cheapest place to shop, no matter what. Hopefully this will make you rethink that a little bit! Don't get me wrong, there are times when you can score GREAT deals and even freebies at Walmart, but generally speaking...you can almost always find better deals at your local supermarket/grocery store with their in-store promotions and sales. Here are some examples of products that we are getting at a great price by matching sales with coupons: (to see last week's "Price Check" click HERE)


Ken's Salad Dressing - $2.24 at Walmart. Use the $1/1 from the inserts to make it $1.24. At Albertsons last week this dressing was on sale for $1.99 (already cheaper than Walmart) and by using the same $1/1 coupon, plus a doubler that was available, we got them FREE! Yup. FREE. I "bought" six bottles of various kinds for FREE! The same six bottles at Walmart would have cost me $7.44. I saved $7.44 or 100%!



Halls Cough Drops - $1.56 at Walmart. Use the $.50/1 from the inserts to make them $1.06. Last week Albertsons had them on sale for $1.00 (already $.56 cheaper than Walmart). Use the same $.50/1 coupon and a doubler to get them for FREE. Yup. FREE. :) I "bought" six packages for FREE, saving $6.36 over what the same six would have cost me at Walmart. I saved $6.36 or 100%!

For this week's Albertsons matchups, click HERE.



Pepsi product 12pks - $3.50 at Walmart. This week at Walgreens they are part of a promo where when you spend $20, you get a $10RR back, essentially giving you a 50% discount! There are other items you can buy. The 12pks were already on sale for $3.00 ($.50 cheaper than Walmart) but when I bought them as part of the promo, I essentially got them for $1.50/ea! NO COUPONS NEEDED. Just a better price. I bought 5 (I will probably be going back for more if they have any left, as my husband drinks these like water.) for $7.50. The same 5 at Walmart would have cost me $17.50. I saved $10.00 or 57%! And that's without coupons!



DayQuil/NyQuil liquid - on rollback for $4.94 at Walmart. Use the $2/1 coupon from the inserts to get them for $2.94. Not bad! (Also, use the "FREE Puffs with purchase of any two Vick's products) However, at Walgreens this week they are part of a promo where when you spend $20 in participating DayQuil and NyQuil products, you get a $10RR back. Again, that is essentially a 50% discount before any coupons! The participating DayQuil/NyQuil products (the liquid was included, as was other varieties, such as capsules, etc) were on sale for $5.00 (a penny more than at Walmart). When you factor in the $10RR, which is like a 50% savings, that makes them basically $2.50 (already $.49 cheaper than Walmart) Use the same $2/1 coupon to get these for only $.50! Yes. $.50 for a medicine that normally costs $4.94 at Walmart. (And you can see in the photo that even the Equate brand liquid (that looks to be smaller in size) is still $4.00, and you can't use coupons on it, so you're saving $3.50 by getting the name brand at Wags. Crazy, huh?) So, I bought eight of varying DayQuil/NyQuil products for $4.00 (the same as ONE of the store brand), plus got four FREE Puffs tissues (which I would have gotten at Walmart, too). The same eight at Walmart would have cost me $23.52.  I saved $19.52 or 83% on the cost of the medicine, and got four FREE Puffs tissues which saved me another $3.98 or 100%! And now I have enough of this medicine to (hopefully) get my husband and I through the rest of the year until it goes on sale again next winter! (It doesn't expire until 2012)



Jergen's lotion - on rollback for $5. Use the $3/2 coupon from the inserts to get them for $3.50/ea when you buy two. At Walgreens this week they are part of a promotion where when you buy two bottles, you get a $5 RR back. They are on sale for 2/$12 or $6.00/ea (a dollar more than Walmart), however, when you factor in the $5 RR, it is like getting them 2/$7 or $3.50 ea. Now, use the same $3/2 coupon and that makes them $2.00 ea! Now, generally, you can get lotion MUCH cheaper than this and this is NOT a stock-up price. I have tons of lotion I got for FREE or dirt cheap ($.25) in my closet, but my husband has tried every kind I bring home and he just prefers this lotion. So, I am HAPPY to stock-up at $2.00 per bottle compared to the $5 I usually pay, especially because in the almost-year I've been couponing, I've NEVER seen this lotion go on this good of a sale. That said, I have bought 10 bottles so far (and plan to get more) for $20. The same 10 bottles at Walmart would have cost me $35 with rollback and coupon! I saved $15 or 43%!

Alright, so on just the above listed items I saved my family $58.32 by matching sales with coupons over what I would have paid just shopping at Walmart (even with the same coupons)!

*Updated* All 3x Small & Mighty laundry detergent (32oz), only $.50!!

*UPDATE* So, I went to Walmart tonight with my ad in hand and after I had already put my six laundry detergents in my cart, I went to pull out my $2 coupons and that's when I noticed it....they were expired. :( I had been seeing around the blogosphere that they expired on 2/07, so I assumed mine did, too. Apparently, different areas got different coupons, as ours expired 1/10/10. I am SOOOO bummed about this. :( I thought about buying some on Ebay (because this is SUCH a GREAT deal) but I didn't want to risk that they wouldn't show up on time and I didn't want to pay the extra to have them priority shipped. Oh well...there will always be another sale....*sigh* Sorry guys!

In case you hadn't heard, you can score All Small & Mighty laundry detergent (All - 2X 50 oz, All 3X 32 oz) for only $.50 this week! Big Lots has this priced at $2.50 this week. Unfortunately Big Lots does not accept coupons, HOWEVER, just take the Big Lots ad into Walmart or Target and have them price match the ad. Then, you can use the $2/1 coupon (some areas got $3/2 coupons) from RP 1/3 to get this for $.50! I stocked up a while ago when I got them for $.75/ea, so this is a FANTASTIC STEAL of a price! I will definitely be getting mine! This stuff doesn't really ever expire, does it?

Passing along an article...

My husband just forwarded a piece from USA Today to me that I thought I'd pass along. I always enjoy reading columns and articles about couponing. :) It's a piece about the Coupon Mom and CouponMom.com. Check it out!
