Bringing you the best deals from southern Chester county and beyond!
Amazon just released a bunch of Procter & Gamble coupons. Keep an eye on your favorite items, because I often find that once you factor in the coupons, plus gas & hassle of loading kids into the car and in the store….it’s just as cost-effective to order your favorite products from Amazon.
That link will take you to all of them–scroll down, there are dozens!
Another year underway!
Here are some tips on what you will find great bargains or prices on, from now through January. Prices on many of these items are the lowest you’ll find them all year, so if you have the extra money and extra space, you may want to consider stockpiling these things.
1. Christmas items: This one is pretty obvious, but Christmas items at most places are already 50% off or more and will only get cheaper as the weeks progress. Sure, it means lots of cheap Christmas decorations, gift wrap and all that stuff, but don’t forget gift sets–if they can be broken down into something you will use, and it’s very cheap, get it! Don’t forget about all the teacher, coworker and other gifts you usually buy in December–because now is the time to get those items if you can.
2. Christmas foods: Turkeys, hams, baking goods, candy….all that stuff that has been lining the grocery store shelves, it’s got to go! Check expiration dates, check your storage abilities and buy what you will use. Get a frozen Easter ham now! Next week they will be much cheaper than they are the week before Easter. Most stores allow you to use coupons on clearance items.
3. New Year’s Resolutions: What are the most common New Year’s Resolutions? Weight loss, getting healthy, working out, dieting, quitting smoking, getting organized. Yep, yep, yep and yep. All of those items–nutrition and weight loss products, fitness apparel, fitness equipment, stuff to get your home organized, over-the-counter weight loss and smoking cessation products–they’re all on sale now.
4. Think Back to School: Seriously. Many stores like Staples and Office Max, go along with the “getting organized” theme, as well as they know that most students young and old are returning to school/college after an extended break. And they want *you* to stock up at their store before you go. If you need these items, check the ads first–lots of it is on sale.
5. Procter & Gamble: Almost every year, Procter & Gamble does a series of huge promos at all the stores, plus a big coupon insert, often with a rebate attached.
6. Box Tops for Education: Besides Back-to-School time, this is the other time of year that Box Tops for Education and General Mills does a huge push for it’s products. Look for sales, coupons and rewards programs (with bonus BTFEs) in your local stores.
7. Cleaning items: Along with the “getting organized” theme, many manufacturers do promos on cleaning products and items.
8. Comfort foods: anything related to soups, stews and other types of wintery foods–look for deals and coupons.
9. Makeup/cosmetics clearance: January and July are huge clearance months for lots of items, especially cosmetics. I’ve already seen many items at 75% off at CVS and Walgreens. Combine with coupons for almost free stuff–this is one of my favorite deals to pursue!
10. Junk food: It’s Super Bowl or Football playoff season, so all the chips, dips, soda and other junk foods like that are usually very discounted. Happy Stockpiling! Don’t forget, I’m the Moderator for Stockpiling on HCW.
Here are two printable forms for $10 rebates wyb $30 worth of P&G. Unfortunately these are not universal, it does specify a store. But, it certainly makes a sale a bit more attractive, doesn’t it? And I know I have lots of PA readers who shop at Weis.
I can’t guarantee it, but it has been my experience in the past, that as long as I reach the spending threshold before coupons, P&G will send me the rebate.

Good luck & happy shopping!
Offer is spend $20, get a $5 catalina AND 5 Redbox codes! Remember, Acme deals will work on SHELF or KNOCKDOWN prices. Then you pay the sale/knockdown price minus any coupons and will still qualify. Everyone do a rain dance for NO KNOCKDOWN prices! If you don’t have any Acme, check your local Supervalu store (Cub, Osco, Albertson’s) because they may be doing the same thing.

**Check your vet’s office. I was there yesterday & they had put out more of the Iams $8 cat and dog food coupons. Mine was all cat coupons, one dog coupon, so that’s all I took this time.
Last P&G inserts were 4/3, they expire Saturday. New ones Sunday. PREVIEW
Hopefully you all have a bunch of home mailers to go with this promo too. You have to sign up when I post those links! The values of those are usually higher than what’s in the paper. With the $3 Tide coupon coming this Sunday, I see lots of possibilities if it’s not on knockdown. I need Bounty and Cascade, so that’s what I’m going to focus on. I’ll post what I get when I get it. But if you have anything to add, as far as possible transactions or more shelf prices, please leave a comment.
