Mailbox Monday

Here are a couple of pictures from the last couple of weeks for Mailbox Monday, since I never got around to posting them before. I won't list everything that is in the picture, but I will post later tonight what I got this last week, and then I will list what I got! Thanks for putting up with the non-pics the last few weeks!

Albertsons Double coupons 2nd week in a row!!

Ahhh, this is why I wait until the last few days of the sale to go shopping at Albertson: In today's Sunday paper, there were inserts with 3 Albertson's double coupons again. I managed to get a lot of free stuff last week with the double coupons and the promos, plus a $10 voucher good on my next purchase! So far, I'm not planning on using the $10 catalina just yet. I might save it for next week, depending on what the new sales look like. I got 5 papers today, so with the promotions this week, I'll be getting a lot of free stuff again. Listed below is one of the promotions going on that will be great to use your doubles on.

*Remember: You can only use 3 double coupons per transaction, and Albertson's new coupon policy states that you can only use 4 of the same internet printable coupons per transaction. Email Albertsons and ask for their coupon policy because they have recently made some changes and not all of the stores are up-to-date. Print it out and take it shopping with you. 

Many Albertson's will let you do 2 transactions in a row with the double coupons, but not with the same internet printables. For example, if I want 8 Yoplait Yo-plus yogurts and I want to use the $1.50 internet printables, I would have to buy 4 one day and come back for the other 4 another day, or go to a different Albertsons. *Pain* but worth it, especially if you are planning on going back anyway to use more doubles.

Albertsons General Mills promo: Save $4 instantly when you spend $10 on participating items. Prices shown are BEFORE/AFTER $4 instant discount. Use the first total to add up to $10. If there is a coupon to match up to the item, it will be listed directly below with the final price. The dates listed are the inserts the coupons are in. For example SS-5/3 means it was in May 3rd's Smart Source coupon insert. There may have been 2 Smart Source inserts that week, so look in both.

I plan on using several if not all of my double coupons on this promo but I will break up my transactions to maximize my savings. For example:

I could use 4 of my $1.50 off coupons for 4 Yoplait Yo-Plus yogurts, save my doubles and get them for free OR I can do the following transaction: 

2 Yoplait Yo-Plus yogurts $5.00

3 Green Giant boxed veggies $5.00

Total: $10

Instantly save $4= $6.00

Use: 2 $1.50 Yo-Plus coupons

3 $0.50 Green Giant coupons

Double the Green Giant coupons

Equals: everything FREE! and all I pay is tax

I will do this scenario twice and get 4 yogurts and 6 veggies for FREE

*Tailor the sale to what you will eat and what will make the most sense for you to purchase. Happy deal shopping!

Sick kids = No blog

So my 2 little babies have been sick for a little over a week now, which is about how long it's been since my last post! After 2 seperate trips to 2 different doctors and then spending a good 4-5 hours at Primary Childrens Hospital last night, it came back positive that my youngest has the flu. Even though my son's test came back negative, they are doing a culture and the doc said he is positive it will come back that he has the flu too because he has the exact same symptoms! So I still won't be blogging very much over the next week, until they feel better. Here is a nice little coupon for you:

Go here to print an Einsteins Bros Bagels coupon for Buy 3 get 3 FREE! Deal expires May 19, 2009 so hurry!

Here is a tip (since I used to work there): Just buy a tub or 2 of cream cheese, it's only about $2 more than a side of cream cheese and you get more than twice as much. You can also ask for your bagels to be sliced & then get a freezer bag at the register to make your bagels last longer!

Speaking of FREE chocolate....

In the previous post, I talked about how to get Hershey's Bliss bars for FREE. Well, Mars, Inc. wants to give us all FREE chocolate too. Only they're doing it a little different. Every Friday from now until September 2009, they will be giving away coupons for a free candy bar of the following varieties:

Peanut M&Ms
Dove
Snickers
Three Musketeers
Twix
Milky Way

The giveaway starts tomorrow May 8 at 9AM EST through 11:59 PM EST. There will only be 250,000 coupons available per Friday, so act quickly because these will go fast! They will be mailed to you, so allow 6-8 weeks for your coupon. Limit of one coupon per email address per Friday and four coupons per household total. To claim your coupons and get more details, click here.

More reasons to LOVE Target

There are quite a few freebies & good deals at good ol' Target this week! Check it out:

Check the travel/trial-size section of your Target store to see if they have Banana Boat sunscreen for $0.99. If so, you can use the $1/1 coupon from the 5/3 RedPlum insert to get this for free! The coupon does not state that it has to be used on any certain size.

Also, this week when you buy 4 Fiber One Products, you get a $5 Target gift card. This deal includes the bars and cereals and the toaster pastries and yogurt! The yogurt is reportedly priced at $1.92-$2.39 and the toaster pastries are $1.79.

Here's how to get them free or almost-free:

Buy 4 Fiber One packs of yogurt at $1.92-$2.39 each
Use 4 $1/1 coupons here (you'll need two computers to print 4 coupons as the limit is 2 per computer)
Spend $3.68 to $5.56 plus tax OOP
Get a $5 Target gift card

Or, buy 4 Fiber One toaster pastries at $1.79 each
Use 4 $0.50/1 coupons from the 4/19 SmartSource insert
Spend $5.16 plus tax OOP
Get a $5 Target gift card back

You can "roll" these gift card deals using the gift card you earned on the previous transaction to pay for your next transaction. In addition, you can mix and match Fiber One products depending upon what coupons you have and what products your family likes. I have never tried any of the Fiber One products, but I hope to take this opportunity to start getting more fiber in my body!

This next deal expires May 9, so act quickly! Many Target stores have bags of Chex Mix in the check-out lanes for $0.99. Use the $1/1 Target coupon available to print from here to get them free!

And while you're over at Hot Coupon World printing off your Target coupon for the Chex Mix, print a few of the $1.00 off coupon for Hershey's Bliss. You can use these on the candy bars also found in the check-out lanes priced at $0.99. Free chocolate? Oooohhhh yeahhhhhh

A big thanks goes out to Money Saving Mom and Mercedes for posting these!
