Bi-Lo Highlights: 11/11 - 11/17

You know that song, "Take My Breath Away"?  I just finished singing it to Bi-Lo.  In my head, you know, but still.  This week is so awesome (a zillion BOGO's!), I wish I would've just skipped shopping this last week and waited.  It was so hard to narrow down the list!  Instead of my usual "Top 10", I'm going to separate it into BOGO items under $1, and then just really good BOGO items after that.  As always, these are just the best deals I can see, but if you need something else- go HERE.  Heck, it's probably on BOGO too!

Kids Eat FREE!

Kids.  They're eat so little, but those darn kids meals can really add up!!  It's hard to keep track of who has "KidsEatFree" deals when and where - but now there's a search engine to make things a bit easier.
It's called MyKidsEatFree.com and it's super-easy to use. No matter where you are, you can find the restaurants around you that offer "Kids Eat Free" specials!  (Can you imagine how handy that would be for those who are travelling?)  You can even search by day of the week, in case you happen to find yourself in an "I'm NOT cooking tonight!" situation.... 

Just go HERE to select your city and do a search!

*P.S. For those of you who live in Cleveland, TN, you can go HERE to see updates for local restaurants.

Walgreens: New Moneymakers: UPDATE

UPDATE: The "November Healthy Savings Book" is separate from the "November Coupon Pamphlet" and the regular "Healthy Savings Book" - I don't yet know where to find it, but some have found it under the weekly ads (right BESIDE the regular November booklets) at their store.  Here's a picture of what to look for:

Whether any of us will find it remains to be see, but if you do- please leave a comment and let us all know where!!!

Walgreens has Kleenex Tissue on sale for $1.09 each.  Check out the scenario below to change that cost to $0!

Buy (3) Kleenex Facial Tissue: $1.09 each (with in-ad coupon)
Use (1) 50¢/3 coupon from 10/4 or 11/1 SS or HERE
Use $1/1 Walgreens Coupon from November Healthy Savings Booklet (will deduct 3X!)

Go check out this post HERE to get some ideas for other, slightly more complicated moneymakers- if you're feeling ambitious!

Time 2 $ave in the News ~ Testimonial

Below is an article in The Herald-News.  Debby attended a workshop in Cleveland at Wesley Memorial Church this past July.  Then, she hosted a Time 2 $ave Workshop at her church, Dayton First Baptist, last month.  Wow!  Debby, you are awesome!  Looking forward to coming back to your church March 6th 2010!


The coupon craze: Local women taking hints from 'coupon queens,' use clippings to save cash.

Coupon-clipper Debby McCuiston of Dayton shows off a long receipt and a counter full of goods that cost a fraction of their original prices. Thanks to numerous coupons, McCuiston has saved close to $1,000 since July.

Shoppers shouldn't be so quick to toss those coupons in the trash; in the right hands, they could be as good as gold.  Dedicated coupon clippers from Rhea County have already saved thousands, and Dayton local, Debbie McCuiston, is one of them.

"It's just amazing," said McCuiston. "A couple weeks ago I spent $250 [at the grocery store] but walked out having paid $47."

McCuiston got started in huge coupon savings when she heard about a coupon workshop based in Cleveland, Tenn.  The coupon workshops were the brainchild of two Tennessee stay-at-home moms who, like many in the area, were struggling to make ends meet in the economy.

After heavily researching coupons, deals, online savings and common store policies, the two women started saving such significant amounts that others started noticing. Interest in coupon clipping grew so great that after a small couponing class drew a crowd of 200 people, their business, Time 2 $ave, was born.

These two moms, nicknamed the "coupon queens," now travel around the country teaching others the same strategies and techniques that have worked so well for their families.  In the workshops, people learn how to find good coupons, whether in-store, directly from the manufacturer or an online resource, then how to wait for the sales and put them to good use.

Many area businesses, such as Spring City's Piggly Wiggly and Dayton's Bi-Lo and Fred's, allow the "doubling" of coupons, where customers can use both the in-store coupon and the manufacturer's coupon on the same item up to a certain amount.

"Just make sure to monitor the expiration dates on the coupons before bringing them to us," said Bi-Lo manager Jane Draper. "If we take out-of-date coupons, the store loses money, and that loss will eventually lead to higher prices."

Bi-Lo also offers its own online collection of printable coupons, available to anyone with a bonus card, said Draper.  Some stores go so far as to accept coupons from any store:
"Publix in Hixson is wonderful," said McCuiston. "They take everybody's coupons as long as they cover the same brand. A lot of times you pay pennies for things."

The typical response from many people is that they don't have the time to deal with coupons, but after the initial setup and figuring out a good filing system, it's not that hard, said McCuiston.  "It's a ministry and a comfort to know I'm doing the best for my family," she added. "I can send my kids [who live out of state] $100 worth of stuff that cost me less than $25."

Avoiding the stingy, difficult stereotypes of coupon clippers takes some work as well, said McCuiston, who makes it a point to shop at less busy times and "stay nice."
"Some people [using coupons] are not considerate, but you've got to protect your testimony at all costs," she said. "Don't be demanding. They're doing you a service by taking your coupons, and we're doing them a service by [shopping with them]."

McCuiston hopes that more Rhea county vendors will become increasingly cooperative in their coupon policies.

"I would rather stay in Dayton and keep my money here," she said.

For those interested, Dayton First Baptist Church will host one of the couponing workshops in March. Unused coupons can be dropped off at the church as well. More information can be found at www.time2saveworkshops.com or by calling Debbie McCuiston at 775-6517.

DATE CHANGE FOR WORKSHOP MARCH 6TH

Thank you Debbie, for stressing the importance of how we present ourselves to others.  As we tell anyone who attends our workshops ~ we are all a light and a testimoney everywhere we go, don't let it ruin your testimony.    

Today's the big day! Are you READY TO GIVE??

For those of us that use coupons and other frugal-living techniques, any time is a good time to save money.  We get caught up in the race to grab all the bargains, all the time- and the results are extremely rewarding!  We can step back, look at the fruit of our labors (a full fridge and a brag-worthy receipt!) and feel the glow of contentment, of a job well done.

But in the race to Get-Get-Get, we sometimes forget to make time to Give.  And that's what Time2Give is all about: To balance the blessings we receive, with the blessings we share.

Today we ask you to step back, take a look at your blessings, and share a little with some needy local families and the Battered Women's Shelter.  Bring any useful items (canned goods, boxed food, toiletries, baby items, etc...) down to Southern Heritage Bank (on Keith St. in Cleveland) and we will be there to fill up the truck!

If you don't have a stockpile yet, no problem!  What kind of damage you can do at the grocery or drugstore with just $5!  (Take a picture and send it to us- we love to share in your successes!)  Then bring your haul down on TODAY and let's give together!  We'll be in the parking lot from 1-4 to welcome your donations with open arms- hope to see you there!!

Refresh Your Nest Coupon Booklet

If you'd like to get a coupon-book for $35 worth of Proctor & Gamble coupons (mostly cleaning products) in your mailbox (I do!  I do!) then go HERE to request yours.

I tell you though, being surrounded by five boys (okay, one is a "man"), I know it's going to take more than Febreeze and a Swiffer to refresh this nest.  This nest has a distinct aroma of "dirty-socks", with faint notes of "missed-the-toilet".  I'm thinking it's going to take something along the lines of that housekeeping staff from the movie "Annie".  But I'll take those coupons anyway!

Kroger Highlights: 11/8 - 11/14

Dollar General: 25¢ Libby's Canned Veggies!

I know you all are waiting on the Kroger and Target ads, and I've been knee deep in them since I got home from church- believe me- but I wanted to get this deal out there quick before I forget!

  Through the end of November, at Dollar General stores, Libby's canned vegetables are on sale 2/$1.  If you have the 9/27 Red Plum coupon for $1/4- you can get 4 cans for $1!

The wording on the ad states Sweet Peas, Green Beans, and Corn- but I bet it includes any and all Libby's veggies on the shelf- maybe even canned pumpkin!

 

Dollar General doesn't take Internet Printables, but if you have some of those burning a hole in your pocket, take the ad to Target and have them price match it. Then use those 50¢/2 printables with pride!  Don't have those yet?  PRINT HERE!

Walgreens: $5 Off & Ink Cartridge Coupons

Just in case you don't have a $5 Off $25 coupon in the front of your Walgreens ad, here is the printable version to take along (just click the image to print):

Also - It looks like printer cartridge refills are on sale this week for $9.99 (Normally $12.50). Here's the printable link for that one as well:

Now, if you need your cartridges refilled, not only is this a decent price, but it should bump any deal scenario you might be planning up to the $25 mark so you'll be able to use that $5 coupon up there!  Remember, the $25 total has to be AFTER coupons, so....
You could fill (2) cartridges + buy Almay Pure Blends Foundation at $9.99
Total: $30
You coupon would bring it down to $25 
You would then receive $10 RR back from the Almay
Like paying $7.50 per cartridge refill and getting FREE makeup!  Not bad!

Rite-Aid Highlights: 11/8- 11/14

Rite-Aid has a few good Free-After-Rebate deals this week- but that Herbal Essence deal will get me in the door all by itself!  It must just be the week of FREE haircare at the drugstores (see the JohnFrieda deal at CVS!)

There's a $5 off $25 printable coupon on RedPlum.com, or a $5 off $20 HERE- use it to save even more off your total.  I've worked out a scenario at the bottom for how to use one of these coupons very effectively.  Enjoy!

Sunday Newspaper Inserts: 11/08

This week we can expect 2 inserts in the Sunday paper:
1 Smart Source (SS)
1 Red Plum (RP)

There looks to be some good ones- my favorites are Kelloggs, Tylenol cold medicine, Lysol, Pillsbury (in BOTH!), International Delight and Yolpait.  Of course, you never know exactly what to expect, as the coupons will vary GREATLY by region.  By the biggest paper around you for the most valuable coupons!
*ALSO: Check that the inserts are actually in your paper before buying it - Lately, it looks like some people have been taking the inserts out and leaving the sad, sad papers behind for unlucky couponers to find. 

Walgreens Highlights: 11/8 - 11/14

This week at Walgreens, there are some pretty good deals on Baking supplies, more make-up and cold medicine, and of course- the month-long Freebies!  The Bayer Glucose Meter should work properly if you ask your cashier to adjust the coupon down- but I will say that in the past I have had cashiers refuse to do that, so be forewarned...

ALSO: There should be a coupon in your ad for $5 off a $25 Purchase.  The $25 is calculated AFTER all coupons and discounts, so if there's a way you can pile all your purchases into one big one, it will benefit you slightly!

Bi-Lo Competitor Coupon Match-Ups!

If you live around the Cleveland-Chattanooga, TN area- your Bi-Lo might be one of the stores that accepts competitor coupons in addition to MFR coupons (ask a manager to be sure).  Hooray for you!  There are some rules though:

• Limit of 3 per customer/per transaction
• Coupons must be for nearby competitors (i.e. FLIPs, Target Printables, Publix ad coupons)
  
• No "$ off $$" amount coupons
• Coupons for competitor store brands will work on Bi-Lo store brands (Food Lion chips = Bi-Lo chips)
• It's EXTREMELY kind of these Bi-Lo's to offer us this opportunity for extra savings, so respect their right to make certain limitations, and do not abuse the privilege.

✷ The reason you do not see me stacking (2) Target Printables on, say, the Quaker deal, is because both Target Q's and FLIPs say "Limit 1 per day" on them.  If we are expected to comply with the coupon's directions at Food Lion or Target, we should also do so at Bi-Lo.  Of course, you could go back the next day and do it again!  Do you see any good match-ups I missed?  Leave a comment!
