Dancing With the Stars Giveaway!

Friday, January 08, 2010 Posted In Edit This 0 Comments »
Are you like me and hate cardio exercise unless it is fun and not an aerobic video? Well this could be the ticket! I would love to learn these dances in the privacy of my own home, read not coordinated. Plus, I'm modest and frankly the Latin dances should not be done within a group imho. TMI? lol
It's easy to get the first entry sharing why you would like the video.

Giant Eagle Scenarios 1/07-1/13

Thursday, January 07, 2010 Posted In Edit This 0 Comments »
My apologies for lagging behind so much the last few weeks. I thought for sure I'd be all set this week, but nope. Sickness and laziness struck again. Ack!  The ladies at HCW have been so great this week posting scenarios to go along with the sale/coupon post so I am going to share what they've found here.  A special thanks to Jen who gathered all the deal scenarios, different methods until I change it, into one post so it's even easier for me to post here. 


* The Kraft catalina is giving many in Pittsburgh trouble and it doesn't seem that the catalina company is efficiently fixing this problem. The deals are supposed to work exactly the same at all GEs.  Ohio is working well, but not for 2% or Fat Free Products.

Scrubbing Bubbles Cleaner GDA $1/2 (not until Sunday for most)

Total: $1/2
Sale: $3
Mq: $.75 1/10 SS

MQ: $.75/2 1-3-10 SS
CAT: $3 WYB $10
MATH: $10 - $4.50 MQ = $5.50 - $3 CAT = $2.50/6 or .42 ea
Did the math on Shelf for this based on the 'save up to' & you would have to buy 5 to get CAT, but they end up being .46 each so the better deal is at Sale Price, unless the shelf is way more than the ad suggests..

ETA: If these go by shelf AND more than one CAT prints per transaction you can add 3 Completes ($4.09 regular) and use the Free ANY One Frozen Meal WYB any 2 soups also in 1-3-10 SS, pay the same initial oop and get 2 CAT making it a .50 MM!! If not it will be $2.50 for 9 items or $.27 ea!

Healthy Choice Steamers GDA $.67/$.90/ $1.25 ea. At Sale Price (csthedays)
TOTAL: $1.25
SALE: 4/$10 reg $3.50 MD ad
MQ: $1/2 1-3-10 SS OR $5/5 IP (thanks MJKNEeley for pointing out the $5/5)
CAT: $3 WYB $10
MATH: 1) buy 6 Shelf = $21 Sale = $15 - $5 IP = $10 - $6 CAT (if 2 print based on shelf) = $4/6 or $.67 ea.
2) buy 5 shelf $17.50 Sale = $12.50 - $5 IP = $7.50 - $3 CAT = $4.50/5 or $.90 ea
3) $10 - $2 MQ = $8 - $3 CAT = $5/4 or $1.25 ea.
Going by shelf you would buy 2 and add one soup bowl but the end result cost more using MQ's

Healthy Choice Steamers AND Fresh Mixers GDA $1.50 ea. At Sale Price (csthedays)

About Me

Sunday, January 03, 2010 Posted In Edit This 0 Comments »
Hello and welcome to all my fellow and future savers! I am a 39 yr old wife and mom. My husband and I homeschool our four children ages 6-15. For most of those 15yrs I have been a SAHM with a couple of years of part-time retail, part-time and full-time college student. I always thought I knew how to find a bargain and stretch a buck until I discovered the world of couponpalooza.

It started a little over a year ago when Kerri, an online friend and homeschool mom shared the blog “Money Saving Mom“.  After that I found other money savvy  bloggers, a few of my favorites are  Becky at Nickles-n-Dimes.  Tara at Deal Seeking Mom, and   Shawna at Coupon Lady Online.  Then there are the fabulous members at Hot Coupon World.

I have learned so much and I too want to share with you all the tips and secrets so you cannot only save , but make a profit during a sale for yourself  or family.  You  won’t believe the merchandise you will be able to snag  for little to no cost even natural and organic.  I’d love to have you join me in this adventure! I’m always open to suggestions about what you’d like to know and see here so please don’t hesitate to comment below any post.

Economically Yours,
Maria
B&W
