Pick 'n Save :: Dec. 26 - Jan. 1

I'm going to try to start sharing the deals that I snag at Pick 'n Save with you.  And I'll make you a deal...if I do it for you, will you do it for me?  If you see deals that I miss, will you comment on here to let the rest of us know the ones we're missing?  It will be like one big, ongoing couponing party...and we all can save more moola this year by helping each other out.  


I'll do my best to do a coupon match-up each week & post it.  If I don't have time to post a complete match-up on a busy week, I'll at least help you out by giving you a link to a blog that has a match-up for that week.  Then y'all can comment on here & catch whatever I miss.  This is my first time true blogging commitment, so please be patient with me!  If you need help with general couponing terms used below, click here to learn a bit.  And without further ado...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Double Daze guidelines: 

:: On Double Daze you can double up to five (5) manufacturer's coupons (worth up to $1.00 each before doubling.) 
:: The dates fluctuate, but Double Daze is usually every Wednesday, and currently it's on Saturdays as well.
:: $25 minimum purchase required for each set of five (5) coupons-- this is after store discounts & coupons, but before manufacturer coupons.
:: Gift cards, stamps, & lottery tickets don't count.
:: Cash back will not be given if coupon exceeds the price of an item.
(ie. $1/1 coupon for a toothbrush that costs $1.50 will not get doubled to $2.00-- it will only end up with a value of $1.50)
:: Suggestion:  Get there early in the day!  You are not the only coupon lover....we are many.  And we all descend on PNS at the same time...so make your trip worth it by getting there in the first half of the day.  Then they won't be out of the items you really want.
:: Another good idea...our local Pick 'n Save stores let you do multiple transactions so that you can double more coupons. 
:: Ooh, and bring your own bags...you'll save 5 cents for each bag you reuse.  Every little bit helps.

Couponing Terms

Okay-- with the new year coming, I'm going to do my best to start doing some better coupon match-ups.  In order to do so in a timely fashion, I'm going to have to start abbreviating things.  Here's your guide to the lingo:

Abbreviated Names for Coupon Inserts:  
Smart Source= SS, Red Plum= RP, Proctor & Gamble = PG, General Mills = GM

Coupon Terms
$1/1, $1/2 = One dollar off one item, one dollar off two items, etc.
B1G1 = Buy 1 item, get 1 free
B2G1 = Buy 2 items, get 1 free
DND = do not double
WYB = when you buy
MIR = mail-in rebate
Stacking = when you use both a store coupon & a manufacturer's coupon on one item (Target & Walgreens are GREAT places to do this!)
Exp = expires

Kinds of coupons:

Catalina: refers to a coupon that prints from a separate machine as the receipt prints-- you receive it as you checkout
Blinkies: the coupons dispensers in the store aisles with the blinking lights (Hint....This keeps my active little guy busy during shopping because it is HIS job to hunt these coupons down.  He loves it!)
IVC: Instant value coupon (Walgreen's store coupons in ads & monthly booklets)


For some reason that's all of the lingo I can think for now....but as I find more to use, I'll add more to this list.  

More 2-cent Wipes

 With two babies in diapers, we're flying through the wipes these days.  I know that often the social mark of frugality for a mom is whether she makes her own wipes or not.  As long as I can keep finding amazing deals on wipes such as these, I'm going to put off making my own wipes as long as possible.  It's just not worth the time, money, & effort to me.  Now buying wipes for under 2-cents a piece from Amazon-- that's more my thing.

This deal is just like the last one, so if you missed it before-- check my previous post for a step-by-step version.  The Huggies Natural Care Unscented Wipes have 216 wipes in each package, and this comes in a box of 3 packages.  With an Amazon Mom account & the Subscribe & Save option, these wipes should come out to be $10.15 and shipped free.  ($14.50 - 30%) The scented wipes are also still available at the same price.

Thanks, Amazon, for letting this mom sit at home & buy wipes online...and cheaply.  It makes things so much easier as I'm still trying to figure out this 3-kid thing.  And not having to go to the stores means I can keep my mom uniform (aka. sweat pants!) on 24/7. 

60 Free Photo Cards

The photo cards deals are getting better & better.  Now you can 60 free photo cards shipped OVERNIGHT to you for a total of $4.90.  No lie.  Here's how:

1. Go over to the site to log in or create a SeeHere account
2. Create a single 4x8 flat photo card
3. Add 60 cards to your cart
4. Use the promotion code 50cards at the checkout
5. Overnight shipping is just $4.90
6. Offer expires on Dec. 12th...so don't miss it!

Thanks, Deal Seeking Mom!

Coupon Catch-up

You'll want to get these coupons while they're available....

$2.50/1 Huggies Little Snugglers and Pure & Natural Diapers coupons 

$1/1 Aveeno Baby Product coupon

$1/1 Mrs. Meyers Clean Day product coupon


Free Wendy's Natural Cut French Fries coupon

I heart diapers...

Okay, I'll admit it....I've been buying diapers up & not sharing my deals.  Here's the latest on what I've scored:

1. Amazon currently has size 2 Huggies Diapers (100/box) for $19.50
Use your free Amazon Mom subscription & choose the "Subscribe & Save" option to save a total of 30% to bring the price (w/free shipping) down to $13.65.  If you have a 20% off Amazon Diapers coupon (found in Parenting- Early Years & Parents magazines) you can use that to get the price down to $9.75!

2.  Walgreens has an amazing diaper deal running...and you have through Saturday to nab it.  I did it earlier in the week before the new coupon was released, so hopefully you can score a better deal than I did.

*Print off 6 of the $1/1 Walgreens brand diapers coupon from Red Plum  (you might have to use 2-3 computers to get all 6 because of print limits.)
 * At Walgreens, buy 6 packs of diapers on sale for B1G1 free @ $8.99 (sales vary by region)
Your total with coupons should come be $20.97 without tax PLUS you will have $10 in Register Rewards (or Jingle Cash for December) that will print out.  (This $ can be used on a Walgreens purchase next week.)
* Your total cost per package of diapers will be a whopping $1.82/pack!!!

Don't forget, Walgreens has training pants in that sale as well...something that's really hard to find for that cheap.  I'm stocking up for the potty training I've got coming up with my toddler princess in 2011.  Fun times ahead!
