Windex Money Maker!

As promised - here is a money maker this week for you.



Target currently has Windex (the multi-surface is also included) on Temporary Price Cut for just $2.33. Now that's not a bad price. But to sweeten the deal -

Get out this past weekends coupons - locate the $1/1 Windex Multi Purpose
Go Here for $1/1 ANY Windex
(can print twice)

Buy 3 bottles of Windex at $2.33 each = $6.99
Less 3 Coupons for $1/1 each = $3.99 OOP at store
Submit for $5 SC Johnson Rebate
= $1.01 MONEYMAKER! Yes, you can get PAID to shop!

That's the first money maker of the week - stay tuned!

KMART Deals

Ok - so hopefully you didn't buy any cereal yet this week, or if you did. That's ok - STOCK UP!

KMART is currently having a sale on their General Mills Cereal 4/$6 (you must buy 6 -otherwise it's 4/$10). Now, 4/$6 isn't a bad price for Cereal such as Trix, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Cheerios, etc. It's actually only $1.50 a box!

But to sweeten the deal - use these coupons:

$1/1 Any General Mills
$1/1 Cheerios

You can print each coupon twice - there were also coupons from the Smart Source on 1/3. So you can actually get the Cereal for around $0.50 a box! Sweet... stock up!

Stay Tuned

If you haven't submitted for you SC Johnson Rebates - STAY TUNED! I'm working out some numbers and it appears this week is MONEY MAKING WEEK! Yea!! I'll work the numbers out shortly and post them hopefully by tomorrow.

Not to mention there is a NEW Johnson & Johnson Beauty of All Ages rebate - and I'm working out the details as well to get you the most for your money. I just have to go and get some prices and report back on this. But it appears this may be another MONEY MAKER!

What a wonderful week!

L'Oreal Coupons!

Head over HERE to score some great L'Oreal coupons! I imagine that Rite Aid or Target will have a sale on them - so don't use them yet! (Or at least I hope they have a sale on them).

You can sort by "Personal Items" on the left side and score these coupons:
Save $0.75/1 L’Oreal Vive Pro Product
Save $2/1 EverPure shampoo, conditioner or treatment
Save $1/1 L’Oreal Skincare Product
Save $1/1 L’Oreal Lip Product
Save $1/1 L’Oreal Eye Product

Yes! And don't forget - coupons should reset at the begining of the month - so print all of them off that you want now! The $1/2 for Keebler is great - use it at Price Chopper for Flipsides (Ryan loves them) - which are on sale for $2 right now, and since they double it, that means it's only $1 a box! Let's just say, I stocked up last night!!

Hot Coupon!

Want to get some John Frieda Root Awakenings Hair Products??

Well - here is the coupon:

$5.00/2 (or $2.00/1) – John Frieda Root Awakenings Hair product – (smartsource.com)

I was just in Price Chopper last night scoring my awesome deal - when I browsed over to the hair products. The Root Awakening line is on sale for $3.98 a piece (or was it $3.97 - either or, under $4 a bottle)! If they don't double your coupons - you'll only be paying $2.96 OOP for both - and if they do double - you'll only be paying $1.96 for both. But hurry - the price is only good this week.

I love John Frieda Products - so I'm off to go pick some of these products up before I head into work tonight.

Impressive Shopping Trip

My goal for the site is simple - help share the deals I'm finding through my favorite blogs and help match up coupons so that you too can save money for what you want to do! Whether you need to save money just to make ends meet, or you want to put everything you save aside for a vacation, pay off your mortgage sooner, get a new home, etc. - the choice is yours! You'll be suprised at just how much you can save.

The first few posts are just going to be a recap of my shopping trips - and here is tonights shopping trip to Price Chopper.

Price Chopper can be tricky, yes they double coupons - but only to 50% of your order! Then the customer service rep has to manually enter your coupons. So far I've been o.k. with this - but I've heard stories that you need to buy "filler items" this hasn't happened to me, and I have found that if I go during the evening and look for a male cashier it works better! Go figure, but Sundays and female cashiers for some reason just don't work out the same. I know there is probably no differance - but I've lowered my bill more with the male cashiers and during weeknights !

Tonights trip:

Included: 3 Greek Yogurts, 1 double tub of I Can't Believe it's Not Butter, GV Vanilla Extract, GV Bouillon Cubes, 1/2 gallon Over the Moon Milk, and 2 Ronzoni Smart Taste.
Price before advantage savings & Coupons: $17.31
Price I paid: $1.55 - yup, $1.55 for all this!!

How I did it: 3 $1/1Greek Yogurt coupons found in 12/13 SS, 2 75c/1 Ronzoni Smart Taste found in 12/13SS, $1/1 Over the Moon online coupon (their website) and $1/1 ICBINB Coupon. The coupons all doubled (I can't believe it!) and that helped pay for the other items that I didn't have coupons for. I was laughing at the total! Amazing!!!! I saved 91% on my "quick trip" to the store.
