Buffy sent a PS that I'm passing on to you regarding a couple things in her round-up from yesterday.
Also, I just went to the Meijer website and printed out several in-store coupons to add with my manufacture coupons for Meijer savings. I'm headed over there to find double savings on Ragu Pasta Sauce, Knorr Rice Sides, 100 calorie Pack Oreo cookies, Ritz Crackers, Miracle Whip, Lipton Tea (for my daughter-in-law), Clorox Wipes, Meijer Organics Bread (will try it out), and possibly Del Monte Fruit Chillers.
Here's Buffy's PS... When I sent yesterday's email, I forgot to add the coupon needed for the Mars candy deal! Its a B1G1 Free coupon from the 5/17 RP. So on sale for $.33- B1G1 free= $.33/2 or $.17 each! Also, Mentos gum is on sale at Kroger for $1.11- $.55/1 (5/3 SS)= $.01 Buffy
Any questions, please ask. If you are STILL having trouble, I'll volunteer to go shopping with you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (these are smiles...)
Happy Shopping,
~Linda

Columbus Round-up From My Friend, Buffy
I've been out of town, so this list has been put together by my friend, Buffy. (She does such a good job, maybe we'll make her an honorary posting member here!) The Giant Eagle ends today and starts a new sale week tomorrow, Thursday.
Here are the deals and some good tips, from Buffy... PS If this sounds too complicated, just take one item at a time and it will get easier from there!
Ok- before I list this week's deals/matchups- a word of advice. I've found that the easiest way to do the couponing is to get a storage box (rubbermaid) storage bin that holds hanging folders. Invest in some hanging folders and file folders. Each week when you get your coupons- label a file folder with that week's date on it and put into a file. When I list match-ups I can then tell you exactly where to find the coupons being used for that week. SS= Smart Source insert. RP=Red Plum insert. B1G1= buy 1 get 1. Q=coupon. $X.XX/N means X= price off on coupon, N means number you have to purchase listed on coupon. So $1/2 means $1.00 off of two.
Second word of advice- There is a magazine called "All You" that has TONS of great coupons in it. Its worth subscribing to have it delivered if you want to make the most of the deals! Its also available at Walmart off the shelf, but just like the Sunday paper- current deals don't usually match the current issues' coupons- usually the coupons match best a few weeks later. Finally- this is a great site for ordering coupons if you need them/want them. https://www.couponsthingsbydede.com/ IF you choose to use this site, please list me as your referral! Margaret Storm, email: buffystorm@hotmail.com MANY of the coupons I list below can be found at this site. It does take several days to arrive so keep that in mind when ordering! You can find the coupons you want easiest by using the "search" box on the upper right hand corner.
OK, this week: Giant Eagle ENDING TODAY:Bic Soleil razors $3.99 (ends today) $3/off coupon from 5/17/09 smart source (SS)=$.99 Combine this with the FREE BIC refill when you buy the razor coupon from the 5/3/09 SS and get both for $.99 I included most of the other deals in previous email.
MEIJER:(Again- Meijer coupons can be found here: http://meijermealbox.publishpath.com/?recipe=mb_b9e box on right hand side, click "specials" these can be combined WITH a manufacturer coupon for each item!). Also remember meijer only doubles 2 of the same coupon per transaction so if you are using more than 2 of the exact same coupon- split your order!
1. Knorr side dishes (rices or pastas) $1.08 each- $.75/2 (5/17 RP) combined with $1/4 from Meijer coupon= $.32 for 4! (these Knorr coupons are available on the site link above)- use 2 of the $.75/2 coupons from paper combined with 1 of the $1/4 from meijer.
2. Ragu sauce $1.50 each- $.60/1 (5/17 RP)- $1/2 Meijer coupon= FREE sauce! Use 2 of the $.60/1 Q from paper combined with 1 of the $1/2 from Meijer.
3. Lipton tea bags $2.07/each- $.60/1 (5/17 RP- use 2 of these) - Meijer $1/2= $.74 for 2 boxes of tea!
4. Wishbone salad dressing $2.19 each - $.75/1 coupon ( http://bricks.coupons.com/Start.asp?tqnm=qenlbyk3898460&bt=vi&o=55102&c=WB&p=cZaTdVY5) can print 2- $1/2 Meijer coupon= $.38 for two dressings!
5. Nabisco 100 calorie packs $3.19- $1/off at www.coupons.com - $1 meijer coupon= $1.19 not bad for us dieters! LOL
6. Ritz crackers + Wheat thins- Coupon in 5/17 SS for buy Ritz get free wheat thins)-- Ritz are $2.50 ( there were $1/off at www.coupons.com ) plus $1/1 meijer coupon= $.50 for both boxes of Ritz and Wheat thins if you have the coupons from coupons.com plus the meijer one, plus the Buy 1 get 1 coupon- I couldn't find the one on coupons.com but still $1.50 for 2 boxes isn't bad.
7. Mrs. Dash spices $2.89 each- $.50/1 (5/17 SS-use two of these!)- $1/2 meijer coupon= $2.78 for two! Then use the coupon for $1/off fresh beef when you buy 2 from the same insert. I found some small steaks for $1.50 so after that coupon only paid $.50/each for the steak!
8. McCormick gril mate spices on sale for $1.66 each - $.50/1 (5/3 RP- use 3 of these) - $1/3 meijer coupon= $.99 for 3 spices! If you don't have 3 of the insert coupons, its still only going to be $.66 each with each coupon from 5/3 Red Plum.
9. Superpretzels soft pretzels (in freezer) $1.36- $.75/1 (5/10 RP)= FREE
10. Chi-Chi salsa $1- $.55/1 (5/17 SS)= FREE
11. Hidden Valley Ranch (I know some are partial to this brand!) $2.33- $1.50/2 (www.coupons.com) - $1/2 from Meijer coupon= $1.08 for each bottle.
KROGER:
1. Quaker Rice cakes $1- $1/off (3/29 RP)= FREE
2. MARS candy (at checkout) $.33/each = $.17 each!!
3. Dial soap $1- $.55/1 (http://bricks.coupons.com/Start.asp?tqnm=qebteyh65809886&bt=vi&o=56490&c=DL&p=HXyCjGRk) = FREE (Don't forget you can hit back arrow then refresh to print 2nd copy!).
I'm sure there is more- but after my meijer trip, that was all I went in for!
Target
12 count boxes of Poptarts $2.33/each. If you buy 5 you get a $5 Target giftcard back. Combine with $1/2 coupons (I think in the 4/5 paper- use 2) and use 5 of the target $.50/1 coupons here: http://www.hotcouponworld.com/forums/view.php?pg=cpngenerator to get 5 boxes for: $11.65/5- $1/2(x2)- $.50/1 (x5)-$5giftcard= $2.15 for 5 boxes of 12 ct. pop tarts!again, even if you don't have the $1/2 coupons- still a good deal at $4.15 for 5 boxes!
Finally- don't forget if you need the coupons I have listed, you can purchase most at: https://www.couponsthingsbydede.com but keep in mind when the in-store sales end and that it may take a few days to arrive. I usually try to order as soon as I see the ads for the next week and they usually arrive just in time for me to use for that week.
So today the NEW Giant Eagle ad comes out (starts tomorrow) so I'll go through and order for that ad and they should arrive in time for me to use by next Wed. when the ad ends.
I'll do the same on Sat. or Sunday for next week's Meijer and Kroger deals.

Thanks to Buffy for all her hard work. I suspect this doesn't apply just to the Columbus, Ohio, area. ~Linda

Free Dial soap at Kroger. Thanks Buffy!
A big shout out and thanks to my friend and fellow couponier, Buffy, for alerting us by email to this coupon special at Kroger this week. (We double coupons in Columbus, Ohio). She also answered the last posting with a comment that it appears that Kroger (in Columbus), will NOT triple coupons this week.
Buffy also has done a round up of some really good coupon/store sale match ups that I will post here (later) in the next posting.
Has anyone been able to do a reprint on the Kraft coupons? I'll check it out and post that link here also. They may be gone already as I've been out of town the last couple days while this was going on.
Here's the link for the Dial coupon link for $.55 off coupon. (Make sure your printer is on.)
http://bricks.coupons.com/Start.asp?tqnm=qebteyh65809886&bt=vi&o=56490&c=DL&p=HXyCjGRk
We just returned from a mini vacation this afternoon, so I'll have to do some more posting after supper.
Happy Shopping,
~Linda

Kroger Triple Coupons This Week?
We are on the road right now, but some of my blogs are saying that Albertsons and Kroger are having triple coupons (Up to $1) this week. (Memorial weekend.) My coupons are missing me as I forgot to pick them up from the kitchen table when we left for a mini-vacation!
Buffy, if you are reading this, could you please leave a comment on this blog http://goldencoupons.blogspot.com and let us know if this is for the Kroger in Columbus, Ohio? And, does this mean our $1 coupons are good for $2, or just coupons up to 99 cents will be doubled?.. I have several who follow this blog for local information and I'd sure not want to let my new members miss a big one!
With the coupons, there are several FREE items.
Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday. We took an extra day on the road!
Carver Creek is selling out to the riches of St. Louis, and the entire area was devastated by some tornado-looking damage. I have pictures when I return.
Take Care on the Journey,
~Linda

No Coupons Memorial Weekend Sunday Paper
(Flickr photo under 'newspaper')
Having posted ALL that good information about coupons, this is just a reminder to hold off on buying this Sunday's paper for the coupons (May 24).
There won't be any coupons due to the holiday!

Target, Coupons, and Managers
(I'm on vacation, you know.)...
Many serious couponers know that sometimes we get raised eyebrows and even a few very rude cashiers or managers when we hand them a fist full of coupons. That happened to me at Target today. (I've heard that Target can be pretty stuffy about accepting coupons.)
A few days ago they accepted the $1 Bandaid coupon for small boxes of colorful Bandaids that usually cost 99 cents. (They are not trial sizes.) I was happy about that, so today I went back for a few more. (As you might recall, I plan to use them for little kid bribe gifts when I do a photo shoot next week.) I also picked up six Johnson & Johnson First Aid Kits for 99 cents to put with my $1 J&J coupons for that.
Well, Target has decided (per management) that they won't accept coupons for $1 for items that cost 99 cents. (They did last week. But they 'had a meeting about coupons', according to the manager today.)
I was quietly polite although slightly embarrassed at my decision to tell them to cancel my entire order and return all my coupons to me. In the past, sweet Linda would have been too 'nice' to say anything and would have just sucked it up and paid for everything I didn't want. ha ha
My reaction was made much easier after the cashier yelled loudly across all lanes for the manager to 'help with these coupons', after which he came over and unpacked everything from my two grocery bags to determine what would take a coupon and what would not. The cashier made the comment, "You aren't using those coupons in my lane!"
I couldn't resist one little comment to the manager. I said, "I was very careful to select the right products for the coupons. Target took these last week, but the bloggers on the web have said that Target is not very coupon friendly."
On the other hand, when you use both a Target coupon and a manufactures coupon (stacking), it can sure make things pretty cheap. So, perhaps it's worth going back at a different time of day and case out a nicer cashier. LOL
Be Wise. Be Careful. Be Nice.
