The Shaw's Deals are Rolling!

I went to Shaw's yesterday & today, and the deal is working!

My first transaction, I didn't get any cats going through self checkout, and the customer service person said sometimes that happens at self checkout. Thankfully, they forced the cats for me. I heard later that the Old El Paso products are NOT producing a catalina, so I think that was the real issue.

Today, I went to a different store. I did the deal 2 more times, and it worked both times! I was careful to only buy things that were clearly marked with the big, red, "Get $15" tag. The $15 tags have the UPC on them, so you can double-check.

Here are the products I bought:
8.9 oz Cheerios
Progresso Beef Broth
Progresso Traditional Soups: Italian Wedding, Chicken Noodle, Chicken & Wild Rice
Scott's Mega Roll
PB Cookie Mix
BC Cake Mix: Yellow or Devil's Food
BC Frosting: Chocolate or Vanilla

In yesterday's transaction, I spent $14.67, and got $15 back for next visit. It would have been more of a profit but I bought my son a LaraBar :) Today, I spent $26.30 and got $30 back. 6 boxes of Cheerios, 2 cartons broth, 6 cans soup, 2 cake mixes, 2 tubs frosting, 2 cookie mixes, 5 rolls of paper towels. I didn't even use that many coupons!

Hope this information helps some of you :)

Awesome Shaw's Catalina Deal This Week!

Do Not Miss the deals at Shaw's this week! Spend $30 on participating products through November 11 and get a coupon for $15 off your next shopping order!

They're fofering the usual cake mixes and frostings, but also soup, broth, taco ingredients, paper towels, cereal, tea, and pasta sauce. Definitely some natural-leaning products available :)

Check out Wicked Cool Deals for coupon match-ups. HotCouponWorld is reporting that this deal is doubling & tripling - meaning you don't have to do a ton of separate transactions!

I hope to go tonight or tomorrow to try this out. Woo-hoo! Free groceries!

Shaw's Deals This Week!

Shaw's is having a deal this week where if you purchases $25 of certain products, you get a $10 catalina off your next purchase. I went out to see if the deal works on pre-sale prices, and it does!

Here's what I got. The tuna & pizza are also free this week with coupons.

Out-of-pocket: $4.00
Catalinas received: $10.00

Total overall out-of-pocket cost = -$.50!

Yes, that's a negative, people!

There is a lot of other stuff that's on sale this week, but I had some good coupons for this stuff and didn't really need any of the other items. Check out HotCouponWorld for more details!

$86 in Catalinas

I did quite well at Shaw's this week. I did the Kraft deal 4 or 5 times. Then, I discovered over at HotCouponWorld a hidden Crystal Light deal: buy Crystal Light On-the-go packets at 3/$1, and get a $2 catalina toward your next purchase! I bought 36 at the regulaer check-out, and then did several transactions, buying 6 at a time, and paying with a $2 catalina. That worked out well because I didn't have to pay any money out of pocket!

Shaw's discovered that this was going on and limited it so that you could only get 1 catalina at a time. So yesterday, Bear & I went to 2 stores, buying 3 packets per transaction. This meant I did have to pay $1 out of pocket for each transaction in order to get my $2 catalina.

There are some issues with the freezer coupoon book as well. First of all, the Hood frozen yogurt coupon expired in May, 2008. Originally, the manager said they would still take them, but they didn't have any frozen yogurt. Almost every store is cleaned out. I went to another store that said the coupon was not meant to be printed and was not redeemable. I had to go back to yet different store to get a refund on the Planter's Trail Mix since I was overcharged. They had a sign up saying the coupon should read 5/31/09, but they were out of the item anyways. And then I went to a completely different Shaw's that I had never been to. They are honoring this coupon, and they had tons of frozen yogurt. At this point, my freezer is super-full, and I can't eat dairy, so I only got 2 containers.

The second issue is that many stores are completely cleaned out of the products that are free. I was able to get some veggies and bagels, but no corn on the cob anywhere. Thankfully, the coupons are good until 4/2, so hopefully I can score some corn - that is, once I eat some of the food in my freezer :)

As a result, I have $86 in catalinas that I need to spend in less than 2 weeks. I also have a very full freezer, as yesterday I went to Stop & Shop and bought 10 10-ounce bags of spinach (along with 3 pounds of strawberries and some sale apples); they were on sale for 99 cent a piece, and I couldn't resist stocking up on spinach for my green smoothies. So I see a lot of canned goods and lots of dehydrating in my future!

More Shaws Freebies

Shaws has a coupon book available called "Cool Savings"; they had them at customer service, though at HotCouponWorld, it's been reported that they are on display at the freezer section and at other places throughout the store. There are lots of $1 off coupons, but also coupons for free frozen yogurt (this coupon is expired, but the booklet is new, and the manager said they would still take it), free bagels, free veggies, free pie crust, and free frozen lemonade. Some coupons are store coupons (which can be combined with manufacturer's coupons), and some are manufacturer's coupons.

There were plenty of booklets there, so I asked if I could take a few :) Make sure to grab some when you're doing your catalina deals this week!

One More Shaw's Run!

My husband had a meeting in the heart of the city, so I went to a different Shaw's to score some more deals.

Here's Transaction #3: (I'll put the shelf prices in parentheses):
1 Starkist Albacore Tuna Pouches ($2.19 each): $1.67
3 box South Beach Peanut Butter Cereal Bars ($3.79): $2.50
1 box Kraft Bagelfuls ($2.50): $2
1 pouch Planter's Trail Mix ($2.19): $1.25 (more on this later)
2 Jell-o Pudding 6-packs ($3.99): $6 ($3 each)

Coupons used:
1 $1 off 1 Starkist Creation pouch, ALL YOU March?
3 $1 off 1 SB Cereal bars coupon, Smart Source 2/8 insert
1 $1 0ff Bagelfuls printable
2 $.60 off 1 Jell-o Pudding printable (doubled!)

Total shelf cost: $26.23, $18.42 sale price total
Minus $7.40 coupons equals: $11.02
Received $10 catalina, Cashed in a $10 catalina
True cost: $1.02

My Planters trail mix rang up as $2.19, not $1.25 as it should have, but since I was in a self check-out lane, I went to customer service to get the difference refunded. Check your receipts! It rang up incorrectly both times.

Shaws Deal: $10 off next order

Shaw's is doing another one of their catalina deals: save $10 off your next order when you buy $25 participating products. The deal runs from 3/1/09 to 3/14/09 and is based on shelf prices. You can roll the catalinas, meaning if you do one transaction and get a $10 catalina, you can use it on transaction #2 and still get another catalina. There are also quite a few freebies (and cheapies!) available this week.

I went & did 2 transactions this morning. The 1st was just products from the promotion. The 2nd was more as I was trying to use the 97 cent Cheerios coupon, as well as the fact that I just needed lots of stuff :)

Here's Transaction #1: (I'll put the shelf prices in parentheses):
1 box Wheat Thins ($3.29): $2.50
3 boxes Triscuits ($3.29 each): $7.50 for 3
3 Starkist Albacore Tuna Pouches ($2.19 each): $5 (3 for $5)

1 Buy 2, Get one Starkist pouch free coupon, Red Plum 2/22 insert
1 $1 off 1 SB Cereal bars coupon, Smart Source 2/8 insert
1 $1 0ff Bagelfuls printable

Total shelf cost: $26.02, $19.50 sale price total
Minus $7.67 coupons equals: $11.83
Received $10 catalina, True cost: $1.83

I'm not going to type out all the details of what I got in this transaction - just the freebies and the products that go toward the catalina - but here's a summary of the rest. I got bananas, brocolli (on sale 99 cents/lb), sliced turkey breast ($1 off coupon, on sale $4.99/lb), 12 cans Del Monte tomatoes (10 for $10, used $1 off 12 coupon from 2/8 Red Plum), 4 cans No Salt Del Monte Tomatoes (10 for $10, used $1 off 2 coupon from 2/8 Red Plum - 50 cents a can!), 2 Tropicana OJ's (2/$6, used $1 off 2 coupon from 1/4 Red Plum #2), and one box of Cheerios, 14 oz ($3, used 55 cent printable which doubled, used store coupon from circular "97 cent Cheerios if you spend $25 after all coupons and discounts", including cashed in catalina from previous transactions - Cheerios money maker!), and then the freebies and catalina stuff:

My Shaws Adventure

I finally ventured out to Shaw's this morning. I'm glad I did because I made 87 cents buying 20 cans of soup, and got some other cheap stuff as well.

Transactions #1
10 cans Healthy Choice Soup, $1 each
2 pouches Starkist creations Mango Salmon, $2 each
3 pouches Starkist light tuna in oil, $1.25 each

Used 4 $1 off tuna coupons from vocalpoint mailer
Used BOGO tuna coupon from vocalpoint mailer

Paid $12.75 OOP
Got $10 off your next purchase catalina
I was supposed to get another $1 off catalina for the tuna, but it didn't work

Transactions #2
10 Traditional Progresso Soup @ 3/$4
3 bottles spring water @ $.89 each
.55 lb Healthy Ones deli ham ($3.99/lb)
.35 lb Healthy Ones deli turkey ($5.99/lb)

Used 2 $1/4 Progresso coupons from 2/8 newspaper insert
Used 2 $1.10/1 Progresso coupons
Used 2 $.55 off Healthy Ones lunchmeat which doubled
Used $10 catalina from last purchase

Paid $3.84 OOP

So the Healthy Choice soup worked out to be free, the Progresso was a moneymaker of $.86, the 5 pouches of tuna were $2.75, and the lunch meat (almost a pound) was a little over $2 (could have been free if I bought less).

Not too bad! Most of the soup will end up at the food pantry, which is pretty cool! I could have done the Progresso deal one more time, but Bear (my son) was getting antsy. 20 cans of soup is enough :)

Shaw's Catalina Sale

Shaw's is having another one of their catalina sales this week: buy 10 products, get $10 off your next purchase. Check out HotCouponWorld for details. Definitely an opportunity to stock up & maybe even make money!

Free This Week at Shaw's & Walgreens

Free This Week at Shaw's & Walgreens
Here are some freebies you might want to pick up this week:

Shaw's
Gum/Butlet Micro Tip Toothbrush 1 ct, 10 for $10: Use $1 off coupon from 12/7 Red Plum insert = FREE!

Walgreens
Gillette Fusion Gamer, $8.99: Use $4 off coupon from 2/8 P&G Insert, get $6 Register Reward = $.76 Money Maker after tax!

These razors were not with the regular razors. They were on display at the cosmetics counter. If you can't find them, be sure to ask!

Free After EasySaver Rebate this month:
Revlon Age Defying spa concealer or foundation, $9.99: Use $2 off coupon from 1/11 or 2/8 Smart Source insert = Money Maker!

Revlon Creme lip gloss, $9.99: Use $2 off coupon from 01-11-09 or 2/8 Smart Source insert = Money Maker!

Make sure to double-check prices before buying these. To be honest, I went last week & the only item I purchased was the Fructis. I found the contact solution, but it was $3.99.

Shaw's Scores!

I went back to Shaw's today to try again & see if the register rewards really were printing on the prices before sale. And they were! I must have done something wrong in my transactions yesterday.

I got 13 boxes of cereal (including 5 boxes of Cascadian Farms organic granola), 1 box off muffin mix & 1 box of granola bars. I had a coupon for every product, and I did it in 2 transactions. I paid $24 and change out of pocket, and received $30 in register rewards! I didn't try to roll the RR; they cannot be used on Procter & Gamble products, anyway, though none of the food items are P&G. I sort of felt as if I was already saving so much money that the least I could do is pay cash :)

So get thee to a Shaw's now!

This Week's Deals

I hope you guys picked up extra copies of the paper yesterday. I got 4 myself, paid for in ECB's :) Nows let's check out some of the deals where you can use them.

Walgreens has a couple of things worth picking up this week. Finish/Electrasol Gelpack 20 ct. is $3.49. Pick up a copy of this month's EasySaver booklet and use the $1.50 Easy Saver Rebate #31, plus a $2.50/1 Finish/Electrasol Powerball Tabs, Gelpacs or Quantum from yesterday's paper, and this is a money maker.

Garnier Fructis Shampoo, Cond or Styler is on sale for $2.99. Use $2.00 EeasySaver Coupon on page 8, plus $1.00 coupon yesterday's paper, and you make a penny :)

Also, Bayer Aspirin is on sale for 4 for $20. Use 4 $1 off coupon, you'll get back a $10 register reward, and mail in the form in yesterday's paper for a $10 rebate, making this a money maker.

Shaws is having a deal where if you buy $30 of certain products, you get $15 in register rewards. Many are saying this works on shelf prices, not sales prices. Either way,you can still use coupons & get some great deals! I picked up diapers, organic granola, organic spaghetti sauce, 2 boxes of Bisquick for the food pantry, granola bars and orange juice for a fraction of the normal cost because I also used coupons. Go to your weekly Shaw's circular & it's on page 8.

CVS also has deals on toothpaste & more Garnier Fructis stuff. CVS
Colgate Total Toothpaste is 2/$5, and you get $1 back in ECB's for each one you buy (limit 3). There's a $1.50 coupon floating around the internet, but some are questioning its legitimacy. You also get $2 ECBs when you buy more Garnier Fructis shampoo, conditioner or styler at $2.99 (limit 1). Use a coupon from the paper & make a penny.

Rite Aid has more Free-after-rebate SoyJoy bars, and there was a coupon in my insert for $3 off when you buy 10 bars (others got a $2 coupon), making this a moneymaker.

I've already hit Shaws & CVS and will check out some of the other stores later this week.

Bless Back Project

On Sunday November 30th at church, envelopes were distributed to different individuals and families at random. Taking an envelope was voluntary.

Inside the envelopes was money of different amounts. The rules were simple.

1. You can't give the money back.
2. You can't spend it on yourself.
3. You have to bless someone else.
4. You have to tell us what you did with the money.

My husband & I took an envelope. When we got it, I knew exactly what I wanted to do: use coupons & register rewards to see how far I could multiply it! My husband had been thinking the same thing, so off I went!

I took the $20 I received, and early in the week, I went to Walgreens. I took advantage of the Reach deal & got 2 packages of dental floss for $6.30, and I earned a $6 register reward.

This past Friday, I went to Shaws & got a ton of baking mixes & frostings for $9.52. I also got 4 cans of cream of coconut for $3. You can read the full story on that here. Not the healthiest choice, but that's a serious amount of baking, and nothing says Christmas like baking!

I also used the money to purchase a stamp. I'll use that to mail in a rebate for free Smart Start. Actually, that one was a moneymaker because I had a dollar off coupon. I also got 2 Russell Stover Private Reserve Luminary Boxes that are free after rebate. I fronted the initial money for those 3 things since I'll get it back in a rebate in several weeks. And no need for a stamp for the Russell Stovers because I can do that rebate on-line.

I brought the following to the local food pantry today:

6 tubs of frosting
7 Cookie Mixes
3 boxes of Bisquick
1 cake mix
1 supreme brownie mix
3 cans Goya Cream of Coconut
1 box Smart Start cereal
2 boxes Russell Stovers candy


(My son wanted to help organize!)


I forgot to ask if they take dental floss! If not, I'll give it to the women's shelter the next time I go.

So here's what I spent so far:
$6.30: Walgreens
$.42: stamp
$12.52: Shaws
minus $1 coupon for cereal
Total: $18.24

So I still have $1.76 in cash & $6 in a register reward to spend at Walgreens!

On that same Sunday, November 30th, our church collected its annual offering that goes to a project called "One Day to Feed the World". We are annually challenged to consider giving one day's income to feed the hungry of the world. The program has corporate sponsorship, so our gifts are multiplied by up to 4 times!

So our choice to use the money to donate goods to the food pantry felt even more appropriate.

I'll let you know later what I spend those last few dollars on!

Amazing Shaws Deals

I'm amazed at what I scored at Shaws tonight.

First of all, the deal is on shelf prices (meaning the price marked on the shelf), not sale prices.

Awesome.

I'll just show you my 1st transaction (I did 4) to give you a taste of what is waiting for you at Shaw's.

1 Cookie Mix (regularly $2.39)
2 Tubs of Frosting (regularly $2.19)
1 box of Bisquick (regularly $3.79)

Before scanning Shaw's card: $10.56
After scanning card: $6.96

Coupons used:
$2 off $10 from Shaw's circular
$.75 off cookie mix from coupons.com (it was doubled, though it says "do not double" on the coupon)
$1 off Bisquick from recent insert
$1 off 2 tubs of frosting from recent insert

Total after coupons & savings: $1.46

Pretty cool, huh?

It's too labor-intensive to outline all of what I did, but here's what I got for $9.52:
6 tubs of frosting (oops! I bought one Cream Cheese frosting that was $2.19, not $1.25)
7 Cookie Mixes
3 boxes of Bisquick
1 cake mix
1 supreme brownie mix

Normally the 3 boxes of Bisquick alone would cost more than $9.52.

I spent $12.52 altogether, but that includes 4 cans of the Goya coconut cream, using 2 75 cent coupons that were doubled :)

Altogether, including the Goya, I saved $42.17 :)

Print out all the Betty Crocker & Bisquick coupons at Coupons.com (see my sidebar), gather all your coupons from recent inserts, and head to the closest Shaws. Even if you don't eat a lot of this stuff (as we don't), you have an opportunity to seriously brighten someone's Christmas. All of this food will be going to a food pantry as part of what I mentioned here (more details when I'm done spending).

This Week's Shaw's Deals

Starting tomorrow, Shaw's has some good deals! And I'm doing some scheming to make the most of them :) I was given a challenge to use $20 to bless someone this Christmas, and I've decided to put my couponing to work!

If you're into baking mixes, check out these transactions, taking advantage of a $2 off $10 of certain products (you will need to grab 2 store circulars):

Transaction #1
Bisquick: buy 1, use $1/1 coupon from insert
B.C. Cookie Mix: buy 4, use 2 $1/2 coupon from insert
B.C. Frosting: buy 2, use 1 $1/2 coupon from insert

Final OOP: $5.29 (using $2 off $10 coupon)


Transaction #2
Bisquick: buy 1, use 1 $1/1 coupon from insert
B.C. Cookie Mix: buy 2, use 2 $.75/1 printable coupon (see coupons in sidebar)
B.C. Frosting: buy 4, use 2 $1/2 coupon from insert

Final OOP: $4.29 (using $2 off $10 coupon)

Someone at Hot Coupon World said you might be able to do this deal using shelf prices rather than sales prices. This could be even sweeter! I'm hoping to go tomorrow, so I'll let you know if it works.

Shaws Deals & A Stop at CVS

I scored at Shaw's today, all for under $40! I wanted to take advantage of the 48 cent turkey deal (which does work!) as well as the "Buy $20 of participating products, Get $10 off your next purchase" deal. With the catalina deals, such as the one I did, you need to make sure it's stuff you can use & you're not just buying stuff in order to get the catalina. There were several other catalina deals this week (you can read about them here) that I decided weren't worth it for me.

So here's what I got:
$.91: Bananas
$2: Pomegranate
$5.98: 2 bags Wild Harvest Organic Romaine Hearts

$5.33: 2 Whole Chickens @ 69 cents a pound
$6.12: 12.75 lb turkey

$2: Rotel Mixed Diced Tomatoes, 2 cans
$4: Hunts Whole Canned Tomatoes, 4 cans
$1.38: 2 boxes Arm & Hammer Baking Soda
$1: Domino's Light Brown Sugar
$3.99: Wesson Canola Oil, 48 oz

$5.98: 2 24-Packs of Spring Water, 16.9 oz bottles
$5: 3 Healthy Choice Microwavable Soups
$2: Utz Potato Chips
$5.98: Wild Harvest Natural Peanut Butter

$3: 2 Coffeemate Liquid Creamers, 16-oz
$6: 2 Cartons Egg Beaters, 16-oz
$1.88: Butter

$2.50: Shaws Trash Bags

Total before coupons
$65.05

Coupons Used:
4 $1 off Wild Harvest Coupons (you can print as many of these as you want)
2 $1 off Spring Water coupons
2 $1 off Peanut Butter coupons
1 $1 off Egg Beaters coupon (I thought I had printed my limit, but I just got another one! Oops!)
2 $1 off Coffeemate coupon
1 $1 off 2 Coffeemate coupon from newspaper (also printable $1.50 - should have used that!)
1 $1 off 3 Healthy Choice soups from newspaper
1 $1 off 2 Arm & Hammer Baking Soda printable from Coupons.com (see side bar)
1 $1 off Shady Brook Turkey coupon, printable from Couponmom.com (I know I got it there, but now I can't see it - must have printed the limit)

Total After Coupons: $49.88, Plus, I got a $10 catalina toward my next Shaws expedition because I spent $20 on specific products (I bolded them above).

So I got all of the above for under $40!

Some of my good deals & steals:
A 12.75 lb turkey for $5.12!
2 boxes of Arm & Hammer Baking Soda at 19 cents each!
2 Free Bottles of Coffeemate for a friend!
$.99 each for 2 organic natural peanut butter (no sugar or salt added!)
$1.99 each for 2 huge cases of spring water (now that's a steal)
$1.99 each for packages of 3 organic romaine hearts

And to top it off, I swung by CVS to pick this up, on the last day available:
Crest Pro-Health Whitening Toothpaste: $3.49, get $3.49 ECBs (limit 1)
Used $1 off coupon from newspaper

Nova Max Blood Glucose Monitoring System: $9.99, get $9.99 ECBs (limit 1)

Used $8 in ECB's from a couple of weeks ago with $4+ out of pocket, and got $13.48 in ECB's back, at a profit of $1!

There's nothing too exciting going on at Rite Aid this week unless you really need lots of Proctor & Gamble products, and I haven't seen the CVS or Walgreens circular. I'll be back tomorrow with more deals! Make sure to check your blog reader to see what others are saying :)

Confusing Shaws Coupon

I got the above confusing Shaws coupon in my inbox this morning. I called their 888 number, and was told I need to buy $25 of Kraft products in order for this coupon to work. But I think the customer service rep was getting it confused with this deal:

I'm going to have to go to Shaws and figure it out. There is definitely $25 worth of products that are worth buying, but not $25 worth of Kraft products.
