I feel a bit like a thief when the cashier looks at her cash register like she accidentally hit the delete button.
Before she rang up my groceries today, the cashier asked if I wanted to use my gas rewards of 7 percent. I smiled and said, "No thank-you" expected my coupons to cover the cost of this trip to the store, but not expecting the look of shock on her face when she realized that I owed her NOTHING.
Okay. I don't usually write about saving 75 percent or 80 percent with coupons. I've discovered people really don't enjoy those stories because they are reminded that it doesn't work that way for them.
This time, I just thought I'd encourage you to think about it, and let me help you get Good Deals and Free Meals by learning how to shop with coupons. Don't give up! Anyone can do it.
Keep Smiling and Reaching for the Goal,
~Linda

Free Birds Eye Frozen Veges at GE
I just love those quick meal veges from Steamfresh, and even more, love getting them for free this week with the coupons I clipped a couple weeks ago from the Sunday inserts.Giant Eagle has the 12 0z. packages on sale (until Thursday) for $1. The 50 cents coupons are doubled, so how about that?
I believe the slightly seasoned coupons work for the regular veges too. Between the Pets Smart free dog food and free vegetables, we're all eating well this week.
Go see!

Now It's K-Mart Offering Super Doubles Starting 9-27-09
It looks like I'm about 24-hours late on this one, but the Columbus, OH, K-Mart stores are offering doubles on coupons up to $2. A $2 coupon is worth $2. A $2 coupon (if one exists) is worth $4.
I called, and the lady said you can only use 10 coupons at a time, but it can be used for any item. (Not just certain departments like last time.) I guess this also means that a 50 cent coupons is worth $1 and so on.
I might take a run to the Olentangy store before rush hour as I'm in clinicals tomorrow all day.
My dog will be mad at me. She's lying outside enjoy the cool fall weather. Old Man Winter is just around the corner here in the Midwest!
Watch for falling leaves ~ and falling prices!

Kroger Triple Coupons Now! Sept. 25-27, 2009
That sneaky "hope-the-couponers-don't-find-out" Kroger is quietly running triple coupons again.
Someone sent me an e-mail asking how I know about these things. In this case, I have set up a Google notification that sends me an e-mail anytime the words "kroger triple coupons" is posted anywhere on the web. You can set this up through your Google account to send you notification of any words you want. It sends you a link to the site that used those words. I also have my name, the words 'free groceries', Berrien Springs, and my websites listed. You'd be surprised who is searching for you these days.
So, I just called the Kroger nearest me in Columbus, Ohio, and they confirmed they are running the triple coupon event this weekend. Coupons through 50 cents are tripled. That means a 50 cent coupon is worth $1.50. You can use unlimited coupons (one for each item), and online printed coupons are accepted.
I haven't checked to see what coupons I have to match any sales, but I'm sure there Good Deals and Free Meals in the 'isles' at Kroger right now.
This is how I stock up on grocery items for Pantry 309 and others that I share my goodies with.
By the way, the coupon inserts this Sunday (9/27/09) finally include Irish Spring coupons for my friend, Edith. The Irish Spring coupons are for 50 cents, so that means $1.50 off on Irish Spring soap at Krogers through Sunday!!! Call me quick, Edith.
There's also a coupon for free Friskies Natural Sensations cat treats, but my sister who has three cats including big Ringo whom I'm co-mama of, is getting my extra coupons for that.
There's lots more, but you can check out the coupons in the Sunday paper and hurry to Kroger before midnight on Sunday. Or, send me an e-mail with your requests for extra coupons.
Happy Krogering in Ohio,
~Linda

Double Coupons - Free Coupons
(Flickr photo under fairy)My Coupon Fairy dropped off double coupons while I was sleeping last night, so feel free to let me know if there are any coupons in today's Sunday inserts that you would like to have. Be sure to indicate today's date of 9-20-09 and which insert it is in such as Red Plum or Smart Source. It's a free e-mail for you and only the cost of a stamp for me. Hopefully, there's something for everyone today.
Thanks again to my very special, hard-working, thoughtful, Coupon Fairy.
Happy Coupon Day,
~Linda

I Have Extra Coupons From Five Inserts 9-13-09
The week that we got five coupon inserts in the Sunday paper (9-13-09), we left on a few days vacation, so I didn't cut out very many coupons. If you still have your inserts and see any coupons that you want, please let me know at my e-mail pantry309@yahoo.com . This week you could have gotten Tuna for $.09 after the coupon doubled, but I think you can get it at that price at Meijer everyday. Problem is you can only check out two at a time there. LOL
The Smart Source insert with the picture of a mouse on it (dated 9-13-09) has several good coupons. (Go figure. You have to deal with that mouse.) Remember, these coupons are good anywhere you have grocery stores. I'm happy to mail them to anyone at no extra cost.
I'm getting back into the groove of things slowly but surely. Tonight I have piles of coupon inserts to get filed away before the next batch arrives in the morning. It's fun stuff, though!
A few days in the Smokey Mountains with family was so much fun and a very happy time for us. The pictures and stories are on my Linda's Notebook site at http://dustyangels.blogspot.com if you haven't seen it already. I'm planning to post pictures when I get permission from everyone.
Take Care on the Journey,

Sunday Paper for 9-13-09 Full of Goodies. Five Coupon Inserts!
I love living near the city, but being able to enjoy a bit of nature outside our door. Today the birds are calling in the trees near my window, and one came close to whisper in my ear that this coming Sunday would be a great newspaper coupon day.
There will be two Smart Source booklets, two Red Plum and one Better At Home. (I don't recall seeing that one before.) She gave me a little peek inside, and I saw more coupons than even a pro like me could imagine. Everything but coupons for Irish Spring for my friend, Edith! (Maybe I didn't look carefully enough, so I'll check again.)
There are coupons for all my favorite things like frozen veges, pet food, shampoos, cleaning supplies, and more!
The USA Weekend that is also included in the Sunday paper has a nice little article on where to get the best up-to-date coupons with good online coupon links to check out.
The USA Weekend article called getting stuff for free "almost an extreme sport". In the SaveSmart story titled "Make the Most of Coupons", it lists several good coupon websites to check out. They are: http://www.wickedcooldeals.com , http://www.moneysavingmom.com , and http://www.neverpayretailagain.net .
Having shared all that, the little birdie flew on to her Tennessee destination where she plans to soak up some last minute summer sun, play in the warm soaking spas, check out some mountain water falls, enjoy a small family reunion, and pick up some fall sunflower seeds to enjoy during the long, cold winter months in central Ohio.

No Coupons in Sunday Paper 9-6-09 but Free Deals Abound!
I hope you didn't already go out and buy the Sunday paper for the coupons. We get the paper delivered very early, so I jumped out of bed by 7:30 a.m. to make sure they didn't stick a surprise in there. Nope, nada. Not a coupon anywhere!
For those who collect and save coupons each week, I'm happy to report that in the Columbus, Ohio, area, there are some good deals around! Last night I made my well-planned trip to Meijer using Meijer coupons combined with manufactures' coupons. I got $54 dollars-worth of groceries for less than $10. That included FREE A-1 that my sister and her husband will be delighted to use as they cook out several times a week. Also, Chinet paper plates and bowls for only $.49. (49-cents!). Also, Miracle Whip Mayo for only $1 when two coupons were stacked. (The Meijer coupon and the manufactures' coupon).
I'm still using certain Ritz crackers' coupons that allow me a FREE box of Wheat Thins AND a free box of Ritz Crackerfuls when I buy one box of Ritz Crackers. Let's see if I can keep this experience simple... I've done this process at both Meijer and Kroger, so it does work. Ritz is on sale for $2.49 a box. Meijer has a Mealbox coupon (Meijer on-line coupons) for $1 off a box of Ritz. So, I get two boxes of Ritz and add two Meijer coupons for $1 off bringing that cost to $3 for two boxes of Ritz. I use my other coupons for the two extra free Wheat Thins and free Crackerfuls. (Six boxes of crackers for $3.)
Before checking out, I've already profiled the cashiers and selected a young man I hope will accept my word if the coupons hang up when he rings them in. He did question if I had purchased the Ritz crackers, and because I had a lot of coupons, I answered, "Yes sir, I did. I'm the coupon princess, so you can be sure I did this right." He didn't question another one.
Meijer starts new sales week today, and I plan to make use of my extra Barilla coupons. Piccolini and Angel Hair pasta (plus all the other types) will only cost about 30-cents a box! I thought last week's Giant Eagle sale of $1 a box was great, but Meijer has it on sale for 89-cents a box this week! Go figure! It usually sells for $1.69 a box at Kroger!
Pantry 309 has been able to offer extra good food last week including Barilla pasta, A-1, cheese, cereal, toilet paper and even some candy bars. Several of my classmates have really appreciated Pantry 309. I like it when they say God will bless me. It shows they are appreciative and that the joy of giving works both ways.
