Expires tomorrow–but sometimes sales clerks will let you go. It’s a good one though–30% off a $40 purchase, usually they give a $10/50. Print it and go!
I know I’ve said this before….

But I’m back. Really, I am. Temporarily anyway.
First–for those of you who only have one child–the second one is a total game changer! Gah! While I love them dearly, having a 3-year-old and a 1-year-old, plus working full time….there’s not much time left for blogging or bargaining.
This week–there’s a get $5 wyb $25 Kraft deal at Acme. Unfortunately, Acme seems to have really caught on to the shelf price vs. sale price thing, so much of the stuff is on knockdown. Remember knock down price is the amount that counts towards the sale, boo. The best cheap/freebie deal we’ve been able to find is Cool Whip. Buy 9, pay $9, get $8 back in cats. You can check out the full discussion here on hotcouponworld.
Avondale Acme has a new store manager and the change has been remarkable. The produce dept is no longer a dead zone and I see employees smiling!
I’ll post more deals later this week. I have gotten back on the CVS bandwagon after taking a break for more than a year.
clearance time

Typically, January and February are huge clearance sale months. This year appears to be the same. I was in Peebles today (earlier post) and they are having great clearance deals. I also was in Kmart, CVS and Walgreen’s this week and all of those stores are having clearance deals. So if you have a bit of winter cabin fever, grab your coupons and head out to a store. Poke around the clearance items and see what coupon matchups you can do. Lots of great deals to be had. I got some Vicks throat spray this morning at Kmart (Pike Creek) that actually gave me 1.01 in overage.
As far as apparel, generally most apparel retailers follow the same time line. Stuff is clearanced right after xmas and up until Presidents’ day weekend. As the markdowns and sales get better, the selection gets worse. Timing is everything and you have to enjoy the hunt.
Happy shopping!
Run….don’t walk…to Peebles!

I got a home mailer coupon for Peebles for this weekend, so I popped in. Even better than expected! My coupon was for 20% off my entire purchase. But the clerk told me that the whole store is bogo–buy one item, get one for $1.
So…..go to the clearance racks. Still a decent selection and things marked down. Take another 33% off all clearance items, and bogo on top of that! If the item is not a clearance item, I could use my 20% off coupon, otherwise it was 33%. I got some fantastic deals like $60 jeans for $9, stuff like that.
Happy shopping!
Oh, and it’s also Clinique bonus time there, if you do that.
