Whoopsie (as Molly's friend Riley would say), I kinda forgot to post ANYTHING last week. Pregnancy brain again, I guess. :) I found this article by Gloria Lemay via my friend Jill's blog this morning and thought it was pretty timely and pretty right on. There are a couple points I'm not too sure about (#8: I wouldn't care about the healthy food part, and #9: pretty sure Nate wouldn't want to go to a hockey game), but on the whole it is right on about what a new mom needs.

Albertsons Double Coupons

Here's my big haul from Albertsons this morning! I scored 16 boxes of pasta for FREE! These are the coupons I used:

$1.00/2 – American Beauty Quick Cook Pasta – (americanbeauty.com)
$1.00/2 – Ronzoni Garden Delight – (itpaystoeatpasta.com)
$1.00/2 – Ronzoni Healthy Harvest Pasta – (itpaystoeatpasta.com)
$1.00/2 – Ronzoni Smart Taste Pasta – (itpaystoeatpasta.com)

Each box was on sale for $1, then when I doubled each $1/2 coupon that made them completely FREE! Also, I found some $1/1 Classico pasta sauce peelie coupons on the Healthy Harvest variety, and using that coupon would make a jar of sauce only $0.50.

Another freebie my store was sold out of this morning was the Emerald Breakfast on the Go. It's priced at $1.99, then you can use the $1/1 Emerald Breakfast on the Go coupon from RP 5/1 or these printable coupons:

$1.00/1 – Emerald Breakfast on the Go Product, 7.5oz or Larger – (redplum.com)
$1.00/1 – Emerald Breakfast on the Go Product, 7.5oz or Larger – (bricks.coupons.com)

After using the coupon with a doubler, you should get a FREE box! One of the assistant managers at my store said he ordered a bunch of them, so I'm going to go back tomorrow to try to get some.

*HOT* Huggies Size 4 Diapers ONLY $2.98 Shipped!


Never mind. I just got a cancellation email. Apparently it was a mistake. Oh well. Better luck next time, right? :)

Wowee! Medco is offering Huggies Little Movers Jean diapers size 4 for $1.99 plus $0.99 shipping! Go here (QUICKLY!) if you're interested. They will only let you order 1 package. I think I'll give the package I just ordered to the church nursery since we're always running low on diapers there.

Albertson's This Week



So, it sounds like there will be doublers in Sunday's (or Saturday's Sheridan Press) paper! I am going to stop by Albertson's today to pick up eggs ($0.99/dozen), boneless pork chops (buy one pack get one free), and Rold Gold pretzels or Lay's Kettle Cooked Chips ($1.99 each then use the $2/2 coupon from the paper). I will definitely be making another trip, though, come Monday morning. A deal that I'm excited about is the Pepperidge Farm Goldfish crackers on sale for $1 each. You can print a $0.75/2 coupon which (combined with a doubler) will make each bag just $0.25! They are part of the "Buy 10 Items Save $5" promo, so you'll have to buy 10 participating items to get the $1 each price.

Walgreens Shopping Trip





We also went to Walgreens and did very well, too! Most of what I ended up paying was sales tax.

Head & Shoulders shampoo and conditioner = 2 for $8 - I used the Buy One H&S Shampoo get one H&S conditioner Free coupon from the 4/17 RP and the $2/1 H&S shampoo coupon from the P&G booklet (no longer available). I paid $2 and then got a $2RR back making them FREE!

Tylenol Precise pain-relief cream = $7.99 - I bought two, used two $5/1 Tylenol Precise coupons and a $3/1 Tylenol Precise coupon from the Walgreens May Coupon Booklet. Final Price FREE!

Gillette Fusion ProGlide razor = $9.99 - I used the $5/1 coupon from the P&G booklet and paid $4.99. I then got a $5RR back which made the razor FREE!

Scotch Transparent tape = $0.39 with in-ad coupon. This was my filler item so I could use the $2RR from my first transaction toward the more expensive razor in the second transaction.

Basically everything was FREE except for the tape!

Albertsons Shopping Trip



Well, I had a WONDERFUL time with my parents while they were here for a week, but now that they have started the trip home, it's time to get back into the swing of things. The girls and I made a trip to Albertsons and Walgreens this morning and did very well. Here's how Albertsons turned out.


Tony's Pizza = $1.00 each - I bought 4, used two $1/2 Tony's coupons and two doublers = Final Price: FREE!


Better Oats 5-ct. instant oatmeal = $1.25 - I bought 2, used two $1/1 any Better Oats coupons and two doublers = Final Price: $1.50 moneymaker! (There are 3 boxes shown because I originally got the chocolate [doesn't it look totally scrumptious?!?!] and one apple, but the chocolate rang up wrong, so I got the chocolate for FREE and used the coupons on two apple varieties.)


Tostitos Bite-Size Rounds (the best chips EVER!) = $2.50 - I used the $1/1 Tostitos chips or dip coupon from the 5/1 Moments to Share insert and one doubler = Final Price $0.50!


Ground beef 93% lean = $4.03 for 0.94 lbs. - The package had a $2 off sticker making it a little more than $2/lb.


Propel flavored water 6 pack = $2.50 - I used the $1/1 Propel 6-pack coupon from the 5/1 Moments to Share insert and one doubler = Final Price $0.50!


"Dirty" Potato Chips = $1.00 - These were samples right by the register, and they caught me. :)


In the two transactions I did to purchase all of the above I spent ONLY $2.53 total!
