Horton Hears a Who only .98 cents

I love having a gift shelf. Every time I see a great deal on a potential gift I get it and put it away.

This way I’m never caught off guard when I’m in need of a gift and don’t have to run out and pay full price.

There’s a $4 off promo code right now making this $4.99 movie on .99 cents!

Sounds like a stocking stuffer or birthday present to me!

Here’s the link.

Coupon clippers

People often ask me how I get so many coupons when I do a really big shopping trip for the food bank.

I use a coupon clipping service. They generally cost 5 to 10 cents per coupon, but when I can get a product for nearly free, I go for it.

I will use every coupon I have available to me then order the remainder from a clipping service. I did this when I ordered 1000 boxes of cereal for instance.

You really have to make sure you order from a service that can get them to you right away because you don’t need them after the sale ends. But when I spot an item that will be free with a coupon, I will get as many as I can. It also takes a cooperative Store Manager who will be willing to work with you on placing the order and ringing it up. Which they generally are happy to do. It takes a bit of coordinating, but pays off big.

If you want to coupon, but don’t want to buy the paper and cut them out, this may be the answer for you.

Here is a link to a clipping service.

Have fun!.

Costco Savings

 
Here’s a few things Costco can REALLY save you some money on.  A gigantic, 101oz can of S&W tomato paste costs $3.69 (which equals .033 cents per ounce).  I used to buy the little 6oz size cans at the grocery store until I compared unit prices.  That little .95 cent can actually costs $2.53 per ounce. Yikes!  

A ginormous    oz can of Festival mushrooms costs $     , that $   per ounce.  The 7oz cans at the grocery store cost .89, thats $3.56 per ounce!

What a savings!  Even after the costs of the baggies I used to divide everything up and freeze it I was WAY ahead.

Sunday Newspaper Deal – $1 per copy!!

The Tacoma News Tribune and The Olympian are offering the “two chicks” special again.  This is an awesome deal you need to jump on!  As you know from our class, the Sunday paper is where you are going to get 90% of your coupons!  Suzanne and I both get 5 copies of the Tacoma News Tribune delivered to our homes. This is the same price as the Dollar Store but without having to leave your house or risk having the coupon inserts missing! Here’s the deal….

Super Sunday Special for the News Tribune and Olympian for 50% off the newsstand price.  NEW SUBSCRIBERS only are eligible.
26 weeks for $39 ($1.50 per issue)
52 weeks for $52 ($1.00 per issue)

Regular newsstand price for the Sunday paper is $2.00.

This deal is for pre-paid subscriptions, so you’ll have to pay the whole $39 or $52 up front (depending on how long you subscribe).  You can order multiple copies at this rate, too.

If you want to include the TV Book, the price would be:
26 weeks for $49 ($1.88 per issue)
52 weeks for $75 ($1.44 per issue)

Even if you have to get the TV Book, see below, you are still saving off the newsstand price.

If you order by 10:00 a.m. on Friday (5/3) you will have your Sunday paper on your doorstep this Sunday (5/5).

Here’s the kicker…these rates cannot be offered to these zip codes without having to add the TV Book:
