Possible Food Lion Huggies/Scott/Kotex Catalina?


Meijer is running a catalina promotion involving Huggies, Kotex, & Scott Products Valid 1/17-1/27:
Buy 2 items ~ Get $3 Catalina, Buy 3 ~ Get $4 Catalina

We had a reader email us today that she got a $3 Catalina back from Huggies after spending $14 at FOOD LION.  Has anyone else received random Huggies, Scott or Kotex catalinas in the last few days?  I'm wondering if this is an unadvertised catalina deal at Food Lion.  If so - let us know - this could make for some VERY cheap Huggies wipes combined with the 75¢ printable coupons!

NOTE: Don't run out and buy up a ton of Huggies, Kotex, or Scott until we know!  I'm just trying to suss out the possibilities - but I don't want anyone to go and get frustrated.

Another Testimonial - Keep them coming!!





I attended your workshop on Saturday at Westside Baptist in Warner Robins.Here's one of the deals I was able to get at Walgreens: Buy 4 Dayquil orNyquil @ $5.00 each. Use the $2.00 coupon off on each from Telegraph 1/17,making them $3.00 each. Then Walgreens prints you a $10.00 coupon on thepurchase. After, the first purchase they are practically free. I haveattached photos of my purchases! Dawn B.


~~~~Okay Gals, you middle Ga folks mean business!!~~~~~

Thanks for sending in your testimonial and pics.  A week ago that would have cost you at least $100.00!!  That is an amazing feat to tackle Walgreen's like that.  You Go Girl!!

Thanks to all of you for your patience last week.  For those of you who did not attend the workshop, Kelly was planning on teaching.  She was already in Macon, GA and had set everything up on Friday ready for the next morning.  THEN....... she was either hit by a virus or food poisoning.  She called me around 3:50 am to tell me that she had been up all night vomiting.  So I jumped up, got dressed as fast as I could and drove down to Warner Robbins which is about a 3 1/2 - 4 hour dirve.  I arrived at 9:10am with about 100 ladies waiting for me.  Thanks again for everyones patience, I enjoyed spending the day with you and am so excited to hear from each one of you how much are saving!!  (Kasey)

Publix Penny Item: Paper Towels!

Remember:  The Penny Item coupon must be presented at time of purchase.  It can be found in your Wednesday (or Thursday, if that's when your ad starts) newspaper.  You must have at least $10 worth of items BEFORE coupons are deducted to get the 1¢ item.  One Penny Item per customer.

If you have been holding onto that $2/1 ALL Detergent Coupon from the 1/3 RP-  just waiting for a really sweet deal - then your day has come!!  Big Lots has All Detergent on sale 2/$5 this week, but alas, they don't accept MFR coupons.  Here's how to get 50¢ bottles of detergent:

1) Go to Big Lots and snag their weekly ad off the stand (or maybe you got it in your paper).
2) Take it to Target or Wal-Mart and do a price-match (Target may say "No" on the grounds that the wording reads "2/$5".  They are becoming quite picky at some Targets....)
3) Use your $2/1 Coupon to get it for 50¢ a bottle!

Don't have that $2/1 Coupon?  Don't fret!  Go PRINT a $1/1 ALL Coupon to pay only $1.50 a bottle!  You should be able to print 2 per computer, so go stock up!

CVS Coupon Update


The $5 off $20 CVS Coupon from the Fresno Bee has been taken down.
(Sad, sad sigh.)
This is due to the fact that, just like the last time, people have taken extreme liberties and have even been selling them on ebay.  Check this out!

 As per CVS's coupon policy, once a coupon has been pulled from a website ad, it is no longer supposed to be printed and used.  Therefore, if you had saved it as a PDF file, you should not print and use it anymore.

Sorry to disappoint everyone, I hadn't gotten the chance to do my wonderful Pepsi scenario - I am pretty bummed right now!

Simplify Sunday is Serious Business to Me

I just had to post and challenge everyone that if you haven't participated in our new "Simplify Sunday," segment you are missing out.  I am writing this now not as Time 2 $ave, but as Kasey, a stay at home mom who constantly wrestles with keeping my house clean.  I don't know maybe some of you were born with this natural ability to organize and clean, but I wasn't.  I so want to be organized and to stay that way but it is not natural and very hard for me. 

For me, my home has become cluttered for several reasons, but the main being I have been in survival mode.  The difficulities  I have faced the past couple of years have been so much bigger than me, that it took every bit of my strength to pray.  Sometimes even praying was hard, I am thankful for the prayer warriors that God has put in my life that stood in the gap for me many times before the Father.

But now, life has evened out a bit and it's time for me to shake off those things that hinder me, no more excuses.  I get so overwhelmed looking at what I need to do and how much time it's going to take that it intimidates me to want to start.  Then since I haven't done anything about it I feel bad about myself and the clutter sits there and screams at me all day saying "you'll never get me."  Now my house isn't an utter mess, my dishes are washed, toilets clean, and laundry semi done it's just that there is constantly "stuff" everywhere.  I have also been challenged to reflect about keeping things I don't really need and getting rid of toys my children never play with.  Honestly, I even want to sell furniture that we don't really need. 

So, I  made a choice, either I could make a step closer to my goal or farther away each day.  I chose closer, even if that meant cleaning out one drawer that day, at least I took a step in the right direction.  Below, I have attached some before and after pictures of a BIG project, my kids playroom.  I am really putting myself out there showing how messy it was before, but we knew it was about to get an overhaul.




We don't need half the toys we have.  That's why there is stuff everywhere, we just keep hauling it in one Happy Meal Toy at a time.  I so want my children to appreciate what they have and to have a spirit of giving, instead of conusumed with wanting more.  One thing I have learned for certain is that giving my children the opportunity to be patient by not giving them instant gratification builds their character.  




It is soooo much worse than this, I just can't bring myself to post some of the other pictures.  We had really let it go since we had been in three states in a matter of seven days and were exhausted from traveling.  Besides you don't get the full effect unless you can see it all in person. 




One word for this SERENITY!! 

My project today was to clean a corner of our bedroom that I have been avoiding that needed to be tackled.  Not tons of stuff, or even more than a 15 minute job and boy it feels so much better.  Since I only set a small goal of that one project I don't feel defeated.  In fact, I even cleaned out several other areas of my house that have been bothering me.  Now, instead of trying to clean the entire house including all closets, drawers, garage, baseboards, windows and ceiling fan blades by tomorrow morning I have a new goal.  I am choosing one project at a time, one day at a time.


Please tell me I am not the only one who deals with cleaning/clutter guilt.  Share with us!! Send us pictures to time2save@hotmail.com of before and after, even if it's just one drawer.  Or, comment below.  Let's encourage and support each other!
