There is a $5 off $25 Family Dollar in the weekly flyers you get in the mail.  If your store accepts these as a competitor coupon use it before it expires on April 5, 2011.

My sweet friend Erin reminded me that the Kellogg's cereal deal starts in tomorrow's ad:
Buy (3) Kellogg's Cereal Get (1) gallon of milk free
Use (1)Yellow Advantage Q 
Use $1/2 in  3/6/11 RP

Better Deal Idea:
Get 6 Boxes of cereal, Get 2 gallons of milk free!
Use (3) $1/2 Kellogg's
Use (2) Yellow Advantage

Get 2 Gallons Milk and 6 boxes of Cereal for $9.27.  Use a $ off drugstore q and get a better deal!

  

This weeks current sale at Publix will allow me to live out my husband's "Cheese Theory".  His thoughts are that everything is better with cheese.  Thanks to the sale, I got 8 bags of cheese for $5.50 and then used a $ off coupon  from Rite Aid.

Overall, it was $84.25 before coupons and $12.68 after coupons.  Yay!!!

Great finds:
The Hallmark Coupon is back in the card section.  This one is $2 off 3 cards.  Buy (3) $.99 cards.  Use (1) $2 off 3 and get them all for $.97!  Great deal just in time for Easter.

Purex Complete Crystals are $4.99.  
Use the $2 off man q from 3/13/11 RP 
$1 off Target q
Get fabric softener for $1.99 (Use $ off q from drugstore and save even more) 

What a great day!

 Today I had the opportunity to teach some couponing concepts to a group of women at a conference at Charleston Southern University.  It is always my joy to share what God has done for our family through couponing and to equip others to be better stewards of their finances.

Tip of the day: www.cookingwithkraft.com has $1.50 of Philadelphia Cooking Creme publix coupon.  Stack it with the $1.50 off manu q from 3/6/11 SS.  Free cooking creme.  Add it to some pasta and you've got a meal.

Also visit the Kraft site to print great cheese coupons.

Welcome!  This blog is a big step for me and completely out of my comfort zone.  However, it is my desire to see other families save and become thrifty with their resources.   So hopefully you will find useful tips for saving on your grocery budget and maybe a few other handy dandy ideas.
I made a quick trip to Publix before waiting in the car line.  The sale at Publix ends today and I had a few things to pick up.  While I was there, I found the $1.50 off chicken with purchase of Philadelphia Cooking Creme (currently BOGO) thanks to my friend Jenny M.  


*Suggestion: Have the meat department package $1.50 worth of chicken to get the pack for free! (Thanks Jenny!)
 
Groceries Before Coupons           $34.00

I spent  a total of                               $ 5.98
