Winco - Ortega Diced Green Chilies

If you have the $1/2 any Ortega item from a while back, use it at Winco. They have Ortega Diced Green Chilies for $.60/can. With coupon, they are $.10/can!

SWEEEET (and Rare) Deal on Sweets!

Okay, here's one I've never seen before: B1G1 on Sunbelt Fruit and Grain Bars, and you can print as many coupons as you want (since it comes in pdf). I love not having print limits!

Just "like" Sunbelt Snacks on facebook here, and they'll take you to a pdf with three coupons on the page, and you can print as many pages as you would like :-) I don't know what they're priced now, but I've seen them at Walmart for $1, which would make them $.50 each with coupon.

My Favorite New Coupons on Coupons.com

It may have been a few days since, as I mentioned earlier, I've taken this week as a "quiet week," but there are now some great new coupons on coupons.com. (For those of you who don't know, coupons.com refreshes on the first of every month, and usually once somewhere in the middle with a few more coupons).

Here are my favorites from the last new group:

Buy 1 Scrubbing Bubbles Fresh Brush Flushable Refill, Get Scrubbing Bubbles Fresh Brush Max Refill FREE

     (coupons.com) - I usually get really good deals on Scrubbing Bubbles products at Target, when I pair

     manufacturer's coupons with Target deals and coupons.

Save $3 on Scrubbing Bubbles Fresh Brush 2-in-1 Starter Kit (coupons.com) - again, Target.

Save $.50 on any Old El Paso product (excludes refrigerated, frozen or soup products) (coupons.com) - great 

     to match with deals on refried beans - especially when Albertson's has them on sale for $.50!

Save $1 off any Clean & Clear product (coupons.com) - great to pair with Target coupons, when they have 

     them (which is often :-)

Save $.40 off Darigold Sour Cream (Extra Rich or Crema Agria) (coupons.com) - watch for deals :-)

There are still GREAT older deals on coupons.com if you haven't reached your print limit yet.

A Quiet Week

I just returned from a few days out of town to this week's ads. I'm always a little excited when I get the new ads - "What is this week going to hold? What kind of deals are possible?" I suppose it's kind of silly to feel that way about grocery shopping, but when you're serious couponer like me, shopping is so much more than an errand....it's a little more like an adventure and competitive game (friendly, of course!) in one.

Oftentimes, there are enough deals to keep me making the rounds to many stores. Sometimes, the deals are outrageous enough for some serious stocking up (like last week). Sometimes, though, it's a "quiet week."

As I turn through the pages of this week's ads, I'm getting the sense that this will be one of those quiet weeks. There are a few really great deals, which I will feature this week, but for the most part I'm not going to be doing a whole lot of shopping....mostly just produce and meat, like every week.

I do enjoy the quiet weeks. It's a good time to use all the great stuff in my pantry and spend my time doing other more important things. I'll get to play with my kids a little more, and maybe do something a little extra to make my house the home I want it to be . Besides, I stocked up plenty last week!

Hasbro Games Deal - Christmas Shopping, Anyone?

I don't know about you, but I'm starting to get anxious to get Christmas shopping taken care of. Here's a great way to start if you haven't already:

Hasbro has a printable $4/any (1) Pictureka, Operation, Connect 4 or Guess Who? Board Game. Target has pretty good deals right now:
    
     Operation and Connect 4 $9 - $4/1 = $5
     Pictureka and Guess Who? $13 - $4/1 = $9

However, if you have the time, you could print the coupon and wait for a better deal. Chances are good that Toys R Us will have some great deals as Christmas approaches. In the past, I've used this kind of coupon to actually make money on these games! The coupon expires 10/20/2010, so watch and wait :-)

Hot Coupon! Campbell's Select Harvest

Last week, Albertson's had a great deal on Campbell's Select Harvest soup, but this is even better:

Safeway has Campbell's Select Harvest soup on sale 10 for $10

     - $1/1 (campbellskitchen.com) = FREE!
