I just got back from Food Lion where I snagged a great deal on Digiorno pizza. The new flatbread pizzas are on sale 2/$11 this week. Buy one of those and use:

(1) $2/1 Food lion internet printable (FLIP) and

(1) $1.25 Digiorno internet printable (can be printed 4+ times by hitting your back button & refresh) or
(1) $1.50/1 (5/17 Smart Source)

You'll spend $2.25- $2.50 out of pocket & you'll get a $1 catalina coupon back!


I've never seen frozen pizza this low so it's a great deal. To answer questions you are not asking....

• Yes, you can use a FLIP & a manufactuer's coupon together at Food Lion.
• Yes, you can use internet coupons.
• No, you cannot use more than one identical FLIP in the same transaction. So, if you want more than one pizza, you'll have to do two seperate transactions.

Whoot whoot. Can you say lots of freebies with the right coupos? Here's what's happenin'

If you are heading out to the Dollar general this weekend, you'll want to take this printable coupon for 10-20% stuff in their stores. I'm not personally much of a dollar store shopper since I can get most of the items I need less expensive or even free elsewhere but you never know...

Happy shopping!

LOTS of good deals this week. If you are running low on shampoo, toothpaste, or diapers this is the week to stock up! Here are a few good snags:

I'd mentioned in a previous post about how I have been taking a few online surveys for a number of years. I wanted to share with you one of my very favorite companies, Pinecone Research.

I LOVE this company & have always found them super reputable. You usually get $3 for every survey which typically last between 5-15 minutes online. It's not all that much but you get to learn about new products about to hit the market. I've also received products sent to my home to test out & report back.

The company is very exclusive, usually by invitation only but they are actually recruiting for new participants right now on their site. I know that they are seeking out 18-24 years old individuals for sure and others as needed. Hurry & stick your name in their database before they take this recruitment offer down. If you have the demographics of what they're looking for, they will contact you via email after a few days.

• Kraft cheese $1/2 - these have been great to pair up with Target and Food Lion sales which let you use (1) manufacturer's coupon in addition to (1) store coupon
• Betty Crocker warm delights $.50/1
• Betty Crocker frosting $.50/1
• Chex Mix $0.50/1- this is always going on sale at my grocery store
• Minute rice $.50/1- I love this one because when my store triples coupons I get this for free

These are the best deals for my household but there are many more. I'll keep you posted on the next coupon site update! Until then, print away!

It really is too bad that I don't ahve a Regal movie theater around here :(
This summer Regal cinemas is showig free kid-friendly movies on Tuesday & wednesday mornings starting at 10am. Tickets are free and first-come, first-served. More information on the summer film festival can be found here.

Good news. Harris Teeter is once again tripling coupons - yippie! Consider this a tribute to the local readers and those with Harris Teeter grocery stores nearby. Jenny at Southern Savers has compiled a huge list of the best deals to be found at Harris Teeter tomorrow for their triple coupons week. Here are a few of the best deals:

FYI, if you're new: If you see a date like this- 4/20 SS, that means you should look in the coupons in the 4/20 paper marked Smartsource, anything with a date and RP or V means it's in the Red Plum circular (formerly known as Valassis) & P&G is the Proctor & Gamble coupon circular sent out only once per month.

Also, be sure to first read my previous post on How to Work a Double/ Triple Coupon Sale before heading out. You probably know by now that Harris Teeter sales go from Wed-Tuesday. There's lots of sales but here is just a taste of the best deals goin on this week:

1. Capri Sun Drinks (10-pk.), $1.99. Use $0.75/1 Capri Sun Drink (Kraft Food & Family Summer ‘09)= FREE
2. Pringles Potato Crisps Super Stack, $1.50. Use $0.50/1 (P&G 5/17/09)= FREE
3. Hot Pockets Panini, $2. Use $0.75/1 (SS 4/26/09)= FREE
4. Eggo Waffles, $1.66. Use $0.75/1 (V 4/5/09)= FREE

Before you head out, be sure to also check the printable coupons that I have to the right toolbar. You can print these now. The Harris Teeter coupon policy does not double/ triple these internet printables but at my local store they always do.

Do you see any other deal you'd like to share with the readers? We promise not to clean the shelves... he he he

Thanks for your emails and kind words as I have taken a bloggining break for a few weeks. I can say that I graduated with my doctorate degree and have taken some time to recoup from the craziness. I have had to make some tough decisions about keeping my time in perspective and getting my family back into a normal routine. But never fear, I'm not going anywhere. I'll be back at more great deals and things you should snag.

I'm happy to report that hubby & I recently held our annual yard sale. This year we sold many of the toilery items that I post for you here. Let's just say we did well & went on a vacation with our spoils.

Well, I look forward to chatting with you all soon. Thanks for checking in & letting me know that you missed the blog. You keep me going! I'll be recruiting some financial divas to help me scout out good deals in the upcoming months. If you're interested, send me an email & I'll let you know what I'm thinking.

I just found out about this new free site for parents, Parentricty. It's sort of a social networking site for grown ups :) Thought I'd share...

Typically over a holiday weekend, there is no coupons in the paper. As an FYI, that will be the case this holiday weekend, so no coupons this Sunday. In the meantime, you can print out coupons using the pink toolbar on this site to hold you over.
