New Site!

I have made a new coupon site with a better name.:) couponeverafter.com I thought it sounded more catchy and easier to remember. So PLEASE follow my new blog. There will be a lot more posts daily and lots of info on saving moolah! Also, I will be scheduling some Grocery Smarts classes and some Newbie Shops. So if you are interested in hosting a class or would like to go shopping with me, let me know! Thanks guys!

Still No Doublers!

I guess teh Standaard Examiner is the only paper in Utah that didn't get doublers this week. We are supposed to be getting two of them in this weeks ad though. So look at your ads. They usually come out on Tues. I'll post my list for what I'm getting on Wednesday. Hopefully we'll have a good sale this time. I'm tired of not being about to stock up! Also, don't forget to sign up for bountifulbaskets.org on Tuesday. And there was a great deal at Tai Pan that I found. They have big canvas bins, buy one get one free. They were 3.97 and then the buy one get one free. I bought a bunchfor my food storage. I also thought that they would come in handy for shoes or hats and gloves.

No Doublers!

Darn! There will be no doublers in tomorrow's paper! I was waiting to use them for last weeks sale. But there really wasn't anything worth going for. So I think that I'll wait and go Wednesday. That is what is so great about food storage! I don't NEED to go to the store! :) Watch your ads that come in the mail on Tues. though. There should be three doublers on the Albertsons ad that you can use with next week's deals. I'll keep you posted!

Shop at Albertsons - Buy Gas at Albertsons

When you shop at Albertsons, you get gas rewards. They take money off the price per gallon. Like right now, because of the stuff I bought, I will get .35 off a gallon! Which is awesome because gas is going up again. So, wait until you get down to empty, use all all your Qs at Albertsons, and fill up with your gas rewards. Not a bad deal. Just make sure that you swipe your prefered card at the pump and then they will ask you if you want to use your rewards. They do clear them after 90 days if you havent used them, so make sure they get used!

New Doublers

Yay! More doublers at Albertsons! There was an insert in this week's Sunday paper from Albertsons that has 3 double coupons on it. What they will do is take your coupon and double it up to a dollar with the insert.

So here is my list:

• Charmin Toilet Paper- no double PG 6/7 = 9.74 -bought 1

Produce Co-op

Tomorrow you can go to bountifulbaskets.org and sign up for a produce co-op. I've done it three times now and I love it! We get the freshest produce and my family is eating healthier too! The way it works is that the more people that do it, the lower the cost of buying in bulk. We get the produce before it hits the grocery stores. You pay a one time only membership donation of $3.00 and then it is just $15.00 and you get $50.00- $60.00 worth of produce. You bring a laundry basket and they give you two heaping smaller baskets to fill up your own basket with. There are tons of pick up places. The ones in Arizona are at the top of the list so scroll to the bottom and look for a location near you. And they are adding new ones all the time. Mine is at Kiwanis Park in Clearfield ( right behind America First on Main). My pickup time is at 7am on Saturday. It is done only every other week, so I don't have to get up early every Saturday, thank goodness! And you have to be on time. They are there only about twenty minutes. So if you miss it they will just donate it to the city fire department. Oh, and you only have a short window to sign up online. It starts Tuesday and ends Wenesday at 10pm.
