I'm suppose to be doing something else right now, but wanted to alert all couponers and those who want to save money, and those who like getting freebies that this Mummy Deals Blog (click here), is always up-to-date with the best deals around and weekly free stuff and Walgreens, CVS, grocery stores, and more. (Especially Walgreens for me!)
This week (Feb. 27 - Mar. 5, 2011) you can get a 'ton' of free items at Walgreens. Well, 'free' because you get a store coupon you can use on other things there. I often stock up on a selection of Hallmark cards using the coupons.
I've added Mummy Deals link on the top left-hand side of this blog. Enjoy :))

Email Me For Extra Coupons
Here in Denver I'm running into more people using coupons each week. I give some of them my blogger address, then wonder if it's helpful to them.
So, the story is...If there are certain coupons that you want, please email me and I'll mail them to you if I have them. bestmomlinda@yahoo.com is checked every day.
At work, I saw someone cutting out pamper coupons, and today I felt badly putting my extras in the "file' drawer. I sure don't need them.
The Sunday paper of February 27 has an excellent P&G insert that, if combined with Walgreens sales, can have some pretty awesome deals this week.
I've been watching for the Lindsay Black Olives at Walgreens for .99 cents a can. (Limit 3, but most stores don't care.) Today I got six cans with no problem - and I didn't pay anything for them after the store cash rewards coupons I got for the Gillette razors.
Normally the razors cost $9.99 which I would NEVER pay, but the store is offering $4 back, and I had the $4 coupon. I bought two, but discovered that there is a limit of 1 on this one, so you have to run each one in a single purchase (or you will only get one $4 store rewards coupon back). Then, I did a third purchase for the olives using the two $4 coupons.
I know it sounds complicated, and I don't do this too often for that very reason. It's easier to run over to King Sooper (Kroger) and get double coupons without any fuss!!!!
But, I do this at Walgreens every couple months when the black olives are on sale.
Don't forget to email me if you want selected coupons. If you are from work, I can bring them in, but I'm only there on the weekend. It's much more simple to mail them, and I don't mind the postage for a friend. :))

King Sooper Friend - Please Call or Email
I know I'm not posting on this coupon blog as often as I should, but I'm happy to report that I'm finally getting back into awesome coupon savings after our move from Ohio to Colorado. The biggest challenge is finding extra coupons (for free). In Ohio, my newspaper carrier left all her "extras" at my doorstep, and I was able to stock up on so many things and share with others.
Yesterday as I was shopping in King Soopers (Kroger in Ohio), a young mother stopped to comment on my notebook full of coupons. We enjoyed sharing information as this was her FIRST TIME to shop with coupons.
I'm so sorry, but I think her name was Anne? How terrible I am with names even though I repeat them several times in my mind and vow that I'm not going to forget it. But alas, I'm not sure now.
I was absolutely thrilled to find another serious couponer here in Colorado! I wish we had shared phone numbers (both our cell phones were almost dead - lol). But, I did give her my homemade business card for this blog, so I hope she will read this and contact me. I have so much more I can share with her - including extra coupons!
"Anne" asked me if we really could save using coupons. I hope she got lots of savings yesterday. (She checked out behind me taking my advice to seek out a happy, friendly, cashier.) She has really done her homework already!
"Yes, Dorothy, we're not in Kansas...but we can save a bundle with coupons!!!"

My Coupon Notebook
"Wow! That is beautiful!"
As I stood in the isle of King Soopers (Krogers in other parts of the country), I heard a women beside me commenting on something in my grocery cart. No, it wasn't my worn out purse. Or, the faded sweater tossed over the edge.
Ahhh, it was my blue 'coupon notebook' nestled in the front part of the grocery cart and open to the 'bread' section. (Pillsbury rolls were on sale, and with my coupons I was about to get a half dozen free!)
The notebook is a WalMart back-to-school special. The 'pages' are for baseball cards holders from Target. The tabs were designed to fit my personal shopping needs in alphabetical order. Batteries-Breads-Cleaning Supplies-Juice-Laundry-Meats-Paper Products-Pasta-Pet-Rice-Toothpaste-Vegs-and so on.
The woman went on to tell me she had just started a coupon class at her church, and she was quite excited to start using coupons on a regular basis in order to save money.
As I gave her several of my homemade business cards listing my coupon blog (this one), and my email address, she promised to give one to the coupon teacher at her church. I'm looking forward to hearing from them.
While professional coupon shoppers are quite likely to be discovered in most every isle of your favorite store, each one has their individual method of storing, shopping, and organizing. The 'notebook" is just my personal preference.
My friend, Buffy, keeps her coupons sorted in boxes at home and only carries what she plan to use as she shops. Others cut out their coupons just before shopping. Some carry a few in their purse. I prefer to store all my coupons in my coupon note book and take it with me as I shop. You never know when you're going to find a close-out on something. Or, you find an unadvertised deal on laundry detergent that offers enough free Tide to last a year with coupons added to the special price. Palmalive dish soap is another frequent freebie.
Each week as new coupons are posted online or after the Sunday paper coupons come in, I search for my favorite products and cut out any coupons. I'm able to get extras at my work on Sunday, so this has been very helpful. (I do save the coupons that I don't cut out for my notebook. Sometimes I mail coupons to my kids and coupon-saving sister, Sandy.)
If you can locate a newspaper carrier in your neighborhood, stop and ask them if they have a source for the Smart Source and Red Plum coupon booklets. For a little tip each week, they might drop off extras at your house. I happen to know that hundreds of these booklets are TOSSED OUT by newspaper carriers after they insert them into their Sunday papers.
In the evenings while hubby and I watch a few of our favorite TV programs, I organize the coupons into my coupon notebook.
Each week, I search the local grocery store weekly deals (including Walgreens and Target), to see where I want to use my coupons this week. Be forewarned, if it's a really good deal, the item will be 'off the shelf" by the day after! That's how I'm positive that there are far more serious coupon shoppers than we are aware of!
In my case, my coupon notebook includes sections for things I regularly use in my home. We live in a small apartment where space is limited, so getting 12 gallons of "free' milk is not cost effective for me. Getting 12 rolls of free tissue paper and storing them in the garage is my idea of great coupon usage. I have secret stashes of cereal (Honey-nut Cheerios for 97-cents a box is the highest I will pay), pasta, tuna, ziploc bags, popcorn, hot chocolate, bath cleaners, shampoo, pet food, and more.
I hope this helps those who are interested in using coupons. Maybe you can pick and choose how you will use your coupons. I can promise that you will never pay for toothpaste, bath tissue, dish soap, laundry detergent, or Kleenex again.

Coupon Hopping Once Again! October 18, 2010
We've been in Colorado (from Ohio) for going on three months now! How time flies! Today was the first day I actually took my big coupon book and went grocery shopping with a plan - and coupons!!!!
I was spoiled in Ohio because my newspaper carrier left extra coupons every Sunday. Here I have to buy the extra papers, and it's not something want to do. So, my coupons are only one or two at a time.
At Scoopers (called Kroger in Ohio), they have a 10/$10 sale this week. In order to make sure I got the minimum quantities, I put a smaller carrier in my cart and put those items in there. (You don't have to get 10 of each item, just a total of 10 of those that are in that sale.) That helped a lot for less confusion on how many of the 10/$10 I had in my cart, so I would get the free $5 at checkout AND get the reduced price for getting 10.
I tried to use my coupons also on those special cost items. I hear there is a much bigger and nicer "Kroger" close to where we live, so I'm going there next time.
At Target, I matched the store $1 coupon with a manufactures $1 coupon to get dark chocolate kisses for only 99-cents a bag. I like them frozen!
At Walgreens, I was very disappointed that they wouldn't take my $3 off Nieva body wash making it free. They said it was only for men's body wash. I could have gotten some for hubby for free, but he has a closet-full of body wash already! I did go ahead and get cans of black olives and jars of green olives for 99-cents each.
So, in the future I hope to give you more up-to-date coupon deals and free meals now that I'm getting back on track.

Sunday, October 3, 2010
We should have three coupon booklets in our paper today. For my friend, Edith, please find in the Smart Source the nice PediaSure $2 coupon and the 50-cent Irish Spring off any one coupon.
There's 75-cents off Colgate that, if doubled, provides free toothpaste.
We also like the Brush's Grillin Beans for $1 off.
75-cent V8 coupons, and $1 Softsoap.
I may order extra Mentos' $1 off so I can send a little care package to my son in South Carolina for his math students.
This is just from the Smart Source alone. I haven't looked at the Red Plum or P&G as I got up late and have to leave for work in an hour or so.
Have fun today. Enjoy the fine autumn weather! I see on Facebook from Buffy that it looks like rain in Columbus.
