2012 is so close & i am stoked. on May 30th i tried out couponing by scoring free Popsicles. i've learned a lot from then until now & i'm confident that i can make better & smarter grocery trips. so beginning Monday, January 1st, i will try my best to bring down our grocery spending budget. i'm not sure about what amount is good right now, but i plan to start at a number & try to stay within that budget for at least 2 months to see if it's a "realistic" number. if not, then i will adjust as needed.
right now the number in my head is $200 per month.
i need to set guidelines with this number though. like...do paper towels & toilet paper count in this amount? what about shampoo, body wash, etc?
also i'd like to try & track my receipts & spending like i did at the beginning of the year.

let's do this!!
Last week, i posted that i was behind in my couponing. In fact, I was about 3 weeks behind. I've been so fortunate that I have "clipper" friends who've been giving me their coupons, but sadly they all remain in the envelopes that were given to me. And let's not even talk about the STALK of inserts that have been patiently waiting to be cut also. My dining room table looks like i hoard newspaper inserts.
i have a stack of printed out coupons waiting to be cut. i also have a stack of envelopes FILLED with coupons that people have cut for me.
my HUGE stack of uncut inserts. i'm sure the bottom half of the stack is expired already. so sad!
I also have to go through my binder because i'm certain there's some expired stuff in there too.
HOWEVER, my plate is now more than half empty & I can give my couponing some more time. If you haven't seen the Sunday paper yet, there were Twice The Value coupons in the Albertsons insert. YAY!! Those are only good through tomorrow though, so I'll be heading over there to shop tomorrow morning for a few things. SO not going to the FW location though, before someone hits my parked car again.
Here's what I'll be getting at ALBERTSONS...
**Kraft Cheese (block or shredded) - On Sale for $1.00. There is a $1.00 off 2 coupon near the cheese & use it with your double & it becomes $2.00 off 2, making it FREE!
**Starkist Tuna Pouches - On Sale for $1.00. There's a $1.00 off 1 in the AllYou Magazine - Sept issue. Making this FREE
**Essential Pasta - On Sale for $1.00. In the Albertsons "Fresh for Fall" coupon book, they have a $1.00 off 1 box of pasta. Making this FREE. If you take 5 of the books when you walk in, you can get 5 boxes for free.
**CEREAL DEAL. Buy 5 of any General Mills items, they will be $1.88ea: Cheerios, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Chex, Chex Mix, Bugles, Gardettos, Nature Valley Granola Bars or Thins, Fruit Snacks.
DEAL TO TRY: Buy 2 boxes of Cheerios & 3 boxes of Cinnamon Toast Crunch
Use $1.00 off 2 boxes of Cheerios coupon
Use $1.00 off 3 boxes of General Mills cereal coupon
Use 2 Twice the Value coupons (gives you $4.00 off)
Pay $5.40 total, which makes it $1.08 per box.
And then I'll head to FRED MEYER & do this deal....
Last week (on 10/2 in the P&G ad) there was a coupon for $8.00 off 2 CoverGirl Face Products. Of course you have to figure out what a "face" product is, but luckily for me Angela at TheCouponProject did the deal & posted about it. You can get: Blush, Concealer, Powder or Foundation. The mascaras & lipsticks are excluded.
She bought:
1 Blush @ $3.49
1 Concealer @ $3.49
1 Powder @ $5.99
1 Foundation @ $5.99
Her subtotal was $18.96, she used 2 of the $8.00 off 2 coupons, making it $2.96 (give or take for tax) for all 4 products, or $0.74 ea.
I always buy makeup around competition time for hula, so this is AWESOME for me. :)
I'll post up after my shopping trips to tell whether it works out or not. :) Happy couponing!!

Apologies!!
I'm still here!! I've been BUUUUUUSY!! My hula group is super busy right now with 3 major events in a 6 week period. What that means is practices every day & in some instances, double practices. This upcoming weekend, i'll be in California for a competition & then I'll be able to concentrate more on my couponing.
I miss it dearly. I'm so behind. I have a HUGE stack of coupons waiting to be cut & another HUGE stack waiting to go in my binder. I'm hoping that they haven't expired. Yes, it's that bad.
I'm excited to see/read that Albertsons is coming out with their Twice The Value coupons on Sunday. I hope that when I return from my trip, I can score some good deals.
Here's some helpful links for this week....

Let's try something!!
I apologize for the stand still on this blog. After my good Albertsons doubler shopping trip the last time, I didn't really do much couponing since. I did some, but not anything too outrageous.
Since then I hosted a couponing class which i had 6 attedees. It worked out awesome, because I prefer a small class to keep everyone at the same pace. I did it as a small fundraiser for my upcoming hula competitions. I plan on doing another one in October. The people that came seemed to really enjoy it & were amazed at the possibility of how much money can be saved. That was exciting for me...to see their excitement! I love that!!
So I thought i'd try something out to help out whoever wants the help. I'll post up links to the different stores & what sales they are having for the week. I hope it helps all of you who find their way here...

The Albertsons Trip 8/30
This morning I decided to run to Albertsons & do my couponing. It didn't go quite as planned, because I needed some other things like soda & things for lunch & whatnot. Not to mention that I totally messed up on the Hot Dog deal & forgot my damn weekly coupon. BOO!!
I did all of my transactions except for the Fifth one, which was the Crest Toothpaste.
What was supposed to be about $17.24 out of pocket, ended up being a $50 trip. Ugh....
It just was all kinds of wrong today. And now, I will pay for it with this upcoming weeks budget, because I will either have to REALLY watch what i spend or I will be completely over budget.
Crap....

The things I sign up for
I sign up for all kinds of stuff. Especially if it's something that i KNOW i will use.
**The other day I saw that the Outback was offering free steak dinners (with a purchase of an entree I think) & I happened to be online when that deal went live & got it!! Right now you can go HERE & get a $5.00 off coupon.
**Today I signed up for the Alamo Insiders club for Alamo Car Rental. With 2 competitions coming up, I decided to see if it would save some money & it really did. YAY!! Click HERE to join...it's FREE.
**HERE'S a coupon for a FREE small drink with a purchase of a small popcorn at any Regal theatre.
**Going shopping sometime soon...HERE'S a link to Coupon Connections that has a list of all the greatest coupons available.
**And did you see on Groupon today that you can get 2 tickets to the Puyallup Fair for $11? Click HERE for that deal, however the deal ends soon.
So as if that's not exciting enough, I heard today that there will be 3 - Twice The Value coupons in the Albertsons Ad tomorrow. I've mentioned these coupons several times, but in case you missed it...
Twice The Value coupons are good from Sunday thru Tuesday only. You receive 3 per ad & can only use 3 per transaction. (if you have more, you can use the bar to separate your transactions, make several trips, go to different Albertsons stores) You take one of these Twice The Value coupons & one manufacturer coupon (up to $1.00) & they will double it. The best way to use these is to match them with an item that is already on sale to get them for REALLY cheap or FREE!

**The other day I saw that the Outback was offering free steak dinners (with a purchase of an entree I think) & I happened to be online when that deal went live & got it!! Right now you can go HERE & get a $5.00 off coupon.
**Today I signed up for the Alamo Insiders club for Alamo Car Rental. With 2 competitions coming up, I decided to see if it would save some money & it really did. YAY!! Click HERE to join...it's FREE.
**HERE'S a coupon for a FREE small drink with a purchase of a small popcorn at any Regal theatre.
**Going shopping sometime soon...HERE'S a link to Coupon Connections that has a list of all the greatest coupons available.
**And did you see on Groupon today that you can get 2 tickets to the Puyallup Fair for $11? Click HERE for that deal, however the deal ends soon.
So as if that's not exciting enough, I heard today that there will be 3 - Twice The Value coupons in the Albertsons Ad tomorrow. I've mentioned these coupons several times, but in case you missed it...
Twice The Value coupons are good from Sunday thru Tuesday only. You receive 3 per ad & can only use 3 per transaction. (if you have more, you can use the bar to separate your transactions, make several trips, go to different Albertsons stores) You take one of these Twice The Value coupons & one manufacturer coupon (up to $1.00) & they will double it. The best way to use these is to match them with an item that is already on sale to get them for REALLY cheap or FREE!
So I'll be getting 5 papers tomorrow, giving me a total of 15 of these Twice The Value coupons. Here's the plan:
