Might as well subscribe to my newsletter, too!I went shopping late last night. I actually left the house a little after 10:30 because I didn’t want to have to go during the day and drag the boys around.  It is NOT easy going shopping with children.  As if I need to tell you that.
This is what I ended up …

So, I heard about the Kraft deal, swung by a local (but not my regular) Safeway store to grab some $1/1 peelies (coupons that you peel off the package), and then last night I rocked it.  This is what I bought at Safeway for $5.31:

Oh, yeah.  I took advantage of the ice cream deal, too!
I did this in two transactions.  Here are the highlights:
First, I did the cheese deal. I used my coupons and my doublers, then paid $2.95 out of pocket and earned a $5 Catalina (coupon that printed …

You’re right.  It has been a while since I have posted, but I have some really great excuses!!  First, life has been busy with boys.  Fun stuff!!  The boys were enrolled in Vacation Bible School in the morning, then they came home for lunch and off to 5-Day-Club (essentially a neighborhood VBS) in the afternoon.  Sweet!  It gave me a much needed break from non-stop “mommy-responsibility”.
I’ve been using that time to work on some new products, coming up with a new preview (packaging for my digi stuff), a new logo, …

It has been a while since I have done a Friday Haul post.  Garage sales have been out there, but the weather has been really cruddy.  In times like these, I have to ask myself if it is really worth it to drag two little boys around to the garage sales.  Today, I took a chance, and it paid off!
First of all, I confess that I broke my $5 Garage Sale Budget rule.  See, I usually only allot myself $5 (out of Kelleigh’s Fun Money envelope) to spend at garage …

Yes, you are correct.  It is Wednesday!!  The new Safeway ad came out, Frugal Living NW and The Krazy Coupon Lady posted the match-ups, and I shopped.  And, I stocked.
Because, as you are heading into summer, you can never have too many hot dogs in your freezer, right?  The kids love them, they are quick and easy, and for only .24¢ a pack, I’m stocking up!

I only bought 8 packs at that price today, but I will probably go back later this week if my grocery money holds out.  I …

My Quaker Coupons arrived today!  Yippee!!  About 10 minutes later, I rushed out the door to do the deal.  Gotta love living in a small town where everything (including Safeway) is within a 10 mile radius.
This is what I got:

You are looking at 20 boxes of Life Cereal for $3.00. Eeeek!!  You see, with my $3/5 coupons (and the Buy 4, Save $4 promo @ Safeway), plus the Safeway doubler (which is available in Oregon and SW Washington), my subtotal came to $6.00.  However, I used the Catalina from my …

Last night I did the Kelloggs deal @ Safeway.
4 boxes of Corn Flakes – Paid $1, earned a $3 Catalina
4 boxes of Crispix – Paid with the $3 Catalina, earned a new $3 Catalina
4 boxes of Raisin Bran – Paid with the $3 Catalina, earned a new $3 Catalina
12 boxes of cereal for $1, plus I have a $3 Catalina to roll into a new transaction!
Have you guys done the deal, yet?  You HAVE to!  The Catalina ends tomorrow!
My count so far:  24 boxes of cereal for …

I am SO excited!!  Giddy!  I LOVE Quaker Life Cereal.  Love it.  The only time I ever got it growing up was when I went to my Grandma’s house.  They just bought cereal that they liked, rather than buying what was the cheapest.  I ate a TON at their house.  Fond memories of Life Cereal!!  {sigh!}
Safeway is having a HUGE, HUGE, HUGE cereal sale with major stock up prices (including my precious Life Cereal!!).  You can see some specifics at The Krazy Coupon Lady and Frugal Living NW.  I am …
