Pick 'n Save this week....

 It's been a busy week, and here I am sitting to post on the eve of Double Daze.  I'm sorry to any of you that were counting on the coupon match-up!   I'm finding myself pretty overwhelmed with this 3-kid transition-- and on some weeks feel like I'm not accomplishing anything.  If I'm backlogged on sharing deals here, just know that it's because I'm getting in the absolute necessities first....like showering.  Though today I still haven't gotten that shower in yet.

Here are the sites you can go to when I'm unable to post....
1. Coupon Mom-- this site just started doing coupon match-ups for Pick n' Save.  You can search for grocery deals by state & find it.  It's great!
2. Creative Couponing (used to be Minnesota Coupon Adventures)-- she does some great, in-depth match-ups.  

I did get out today to do Double Daze & got some great deals.  My best deals were done with coupons that aren't available anymore or high-value ones I got through the mail...so my personal match-ups wouldn't be too useful, anyway.  But try the above sites, they did a good job this week.  Hopefully next week I'll be on the ball again.

Thanks!

$2/1 Wholly Guacamole Coupon

I love this product.  Fresh & yummy.  And it means this busy mom doesn't have to make her own guac or fresh salsa!  Wholly Guac is celebrating the new year by offering a $2/1 printable coupon (you can print it twice)-- and it is good on any Wholly Guac, Wholly Salsa, or Wholly Queso item.  (Expires 1/15/11)  Last week I used my two coupons to pick up guac & salsa at Pick 'n Save -- they usually were $2.99, but I paid $0.99 each.  And guess what was on the top of my salsa?  A coupon for 1 FREE Wholly Queso with the purchase of the salsa.  So do the math with me....I bought 3 Wholly products for a total of $1.98 = one very exciting family taco night.  Since we have 2 picky eaters in the house right now, it's a big deal when the love a meal! Enjoy your coupons!

Thanks, Common Sense with Money!

Babies R Us: Amazing 40% Coupon!

Babies R Us currently has a great clearance of winter clothes & shoes going on right now.  To top it off, they have a coupon that allows you to take an extra 40% off clothes that are already on clearance (& shoes.) 

I stopped by this week & took advantage of this.  They were out of bags, but there were a bunch of great clothes & shoes to look through. I picked up some Converse shoes for my baby & toddler boys for $5-8!!  They had a ton of baby/toddler girl winter coats (most were Carter's) that would be $12 with the coupon.  This coupon is only good through 1/23.  Hope you find some great deals like I did!

Thanks, Common Sense with Money!
