Shopping Trip Dec 17, 2012!

Hi Everyone,

Hope you are enjoying the festive holiday season so far!

I just LOVE Christmas! I love the music, the lights, and the whole spirit of it. Minus the whole religion thing, but the getting together and eating thing is awesome! I made a whole whack of hand made gifts this year for kids! I can't wait to post them after Christmas, as to not ruin any surprises! Right Steph?! ;)

I did a massive shopping trip last night! I went to both No Frills and Walmart! I wish Walmart would carry President Choice products or No Frills opened 24 hours. Then life would be heaven! It is T-One day till my turkey fest tomorrow. Small gathering of people and a simple meal is all I wanted to do this year. Nothing fancy, but I have to admit the whole holiday spirit and shopping got the better of Winton and I. Winton insisted on getting the holiday themed plates and napkins etc. when I said our regular paper towels and normal Chinet designed plates were good enough. But, then again we never hosts parties and it would be great to see everyone.

The ironic thing is, I'm not stressed about cooking the turkey and most of the food but more stressed about the cleaning of everything before everyone arrives! We clean periodically (I also do a big clean Sundays) but having guest over means we need to kick our cleaning into overdrive. For example, we have what is called our "Bag Corner," where I store my purse and backpack for work so I need to figure where those will disappear to for the day! Our place is small so it's not easy to hide things under the bed (we have drawers) or hide things in our bedroom (people will most likely sit in there playing games with people in the living room). Well, the good news is, I still have tonight and all day tomorrow to do the cleaning! Besides, making the turkey is easy! It's just popping that sucker in the over with some rub anyways!

Oh, on another note! I received my Fresh Points gas card! I can't believe it came so fast! I already gave it to Winton to use! I'm glad to see that it does work and I'll definitely be scanning more stuff soon!

So, I majorly digress... Back to my shopping trip! We easily spent almost $300 dollars this week on party foods, food for the week, and stuff we needed in general. And I must say THANK JEBUS for PC Points! I've been saving them since my Cuba trip in April or May, and racked up about $150 in points. I got my entire No Frills shopping for 48 cents. I'm sad that my balance is now zero but I do have a few months to rack up some more before my next big trip! There wasn't much coupon usage this trip but but every coupon counts! I did manage to get a bunch of "sale" items. I use that term loosely, since the sale price would never been the actual price I'd pay had it not been for my little gathering. Since I bought so many things this week and it was really really late at night, I couldn't get one big picture. I divvied them up into smaller random piles, so let's check 'em out!

 - Royale 6 box tissue $3.99 and used $2 coupon = $1.99 (amazing price!)

- Chapman's Vanilla Ice Cream pm's for $1.99 (diddo!)

- Carrots 3lbs $1.49 (They had a 10lb bag for $1.77, but I couldn't fathom eating 10lbs worth of carrots)

- Dole Sliced Pineapple $.77 each (gonna go great with my ham!)

 - Green Giant Frozen Veggies $1.97 each

Shopping Deals Dec 13, 2012 and This Week's Grocery Trip!

Hi Folks!

Not much going on in the world of coupons and sales this week! I'm planning on picking up some essentials like frozen and canned veggies, butter and some fruit. I'm so happy that Walmarts are now starting to become 24hrs! Should be interesting to price match at 4am and hopefully have no problems and I can take my time.

Recently, I was able to redeem a $25 gas card from all my Fresh Points scanning on my iPhone. I've submitted for it and hopefully will get it in the mail soon! I also found another app called Checkout 51. Basically, they give you a list every week of things that have rebates/coupons on. If you buy that item that week, you can scan the picture of the receipt and are suppose to get a check in the mail or something. I'm not too sure on all the details, but I'll definitely check it out and let you know! I'm a little skeptic about taking a photo of my receipt, because I always pay with my credit card. Every though my number is scrambled, there are other important personal info on there like my points balance. They also don't have a large selection of items you can get a rebate on, they're pretty specific. However, seems like a good idea. For example, this week they have a rebate for $3 on Huggies Baby Wipes and there is a sale for them at $2.99. So, essentially they should be free. I don't have a baby so I have no interest in getting free wipes. Maybe one day ;)

On another topic, the recent sale of Buitoni Pizza's I bought have unfortunately been recalled because some people have found pieces of metal in them. Luckily, I didn't have a chance to eat them yet and hopefully if you bought some too, you didn't eat them either. If you Google the words "recall Buitoni," you should be able to find the 1 800 number for coupons to replace your tainted pizzas. Honestly, I would have preferred a full refund since the brand has now been tainted in my mind before I even had a chance to try them out.

We didn't have much time to grocery shop this week, so we just picked up a few essentials to get us by. I'm so happy to have picked up such a big turkey for about $20! I guess I'm going to get that little Christmas party I wanted after all. I'm so excited! I love cooking, but even more I LOVE eating!

Shopping Deals Dec 6, 2012!

Hi Deal Hunters,

Not too many good deals going on this week! But, the month is still young and there are plenty of parties and such to happen, so I'm sure there will be crazy deals closer to Christmas. However, turkey is a good price from No Frills. Last time this year or maybe two years ago, I got turkey for $.77/lb and figuring with inflation $.87/lb isn't too shabby!

Shopping Trip Dec 3, 2012!

Hi Gang,

We did a massive shopping trip this week! It really caught up to us not shopping every week for food and supplies. I had been holding out for awhile for basics like plum dipping sauce, but I couldn't find a coupon or sale and had to shell out full price! It really sucked! To make things worse, I had two newbie cashiers to deal with that proved a bit problematic. It all was ok in the end, but I hate that feeling of being "stuck" in the cash out with people behind you. Everything was organized, they just didn't know how to price match properly and had to ask for help or one girl read every coupon in crazy detail. Oh, well that's all behind now and I did manage to score some really good stuff this week!

Shopping Deals November 29, 2012 and A Mini Grocery Trip!

Hi Everyone,

This week I didn't even do any grocery shopping! We were still living off those chicken breasts from Costco and making sandwiches from all the sandwich meat we bought there too! There were a couple good deals at No Frills I couldn't pass up! I didn't want to bother price matching at this particular location, cause it was a bit of a hassle last time and I knew I had to be in and out in about 10 minutes. I love getting the cheap $2 laundry detergent lately, if it was the brands I used I probably would of stocked up even more. But, in the end my mom was very glad to be getting so much soap! Unfortunately, paper towels is where I need to stock up right now. I'd love to grab some holiday stuff too, things like baking and party supplies. I'm thinking about throwing a little Christmas party in the condo for our friends. I love making turkey, it's so little effort and it tastes great! Imagine all the left over turkey sandwiches I get to eat with the leftovers! Yum! Let' see what I scored!

 

- Alymer canned tomatoes were $1 each and there was a coupon for $1 off wub2, so they were 50 cents a piece! Can't wait to make my own pasta sauces out of these! Very exciting!

- Alcan foil was $1, not the greatest price. I'm pretty sure I saw it for 88 cents before, but I needed it.

- Gain detergent was on sale for $3 each, with a coupon for $2 wub2 making them $2 a piece. Honestly, I misread and thought I could of bought the powdered box instead which has way more loads but at 25 loads per bottle it wasn't too bad!

Enough with last week! Let's get to this week! Not too many deals but I'm sure they'll having big deals soon with Christmas around the corner!

Shopping Deals November 22, 2012 and This Week's Trip!

Hi Fellow Deal Hunters,

I was very lucky to have a chance to head to No Frills a couple times this past weekend while I was at Stephanie's house, helping to clean up after some renos they had done. I've mentioned before that my mom needed to load up on laundry detergent and I had that great $1.50 coupon for Tide that was on sale this week for $3.97. To my surprise, as I was walking down the soap aisle I happen to come across a tear pad for full of $2 off coupons for any sunlight detergent. Oh boy, was I giddy at the thought of getting Tide Laundry detergent that was priced for $7.97 for as low $1.97! Did I mention is was normally $7.97 at No Frills?!?!  Haha! Unfortunately, when I read the coupon in detail it was only one per customer/family (Family? Tell me how are they gonna know?). Lucky for me, there was two of us at No Frills that day! I was able to price match Freshco and use the $2 coupon no problem. I thought my original plan was a good deal anyways, so I also used my $1.50 coupon as well. I was there again the next day and decided to have Steph come with me again to grab this deal. Trust me! If I could of stacked up and grab ten, I would! They use a lot of detergent at my mom's and I haven't exactly gotten off my butt to go make those home made detergents I see on pinterest either. Plus, I figured you really can't go wrong with $2 detergent!

This mini-side trip to No Frills was suppose to be for fruit and sale items only. I was thinking we'd head out again for "real" groceries this week, but we just had so much chicken and stuff left from Costco that we really didn't need to go. Btw, freezing bread? That was awesome! It's still technically fresh but I don't taste the different at all!

- Stagg Chili on sale $1.88 each x 3

- Chunky soup pm'd at $1.44 x 3 (they only let me price match 3 max! Boo!)

- Blackberries $.88 each x 3

- Bartlett Pears and Gala Apples were pm'd for $.77/lb

- Sunlight pm'd with $2 coupon at $1.97 x 4. And pm'd with $1.50 at $2.47 x 1.

- Thought I'd show you what approx. $10 worth of detergent looks like! ;)

Ok, enough of how proud I was with my soap score. Let's see what's on this week with deals! Too bad the Gain detergent coupons aren't for $3 anymore, but with all the inflation of stuff going on $2 a box isn't bad either.
