Giant-Hersheypark deal

June 22, 2010 by · Leave a Comment

Giant and Kraft/Nabisco have teamed up again for another year of the Hershey park deal. It’s on the last 2 inside pages of the Giant ad for this week. Basically, spend $60 on Kraft/Nabisco, get a free HP ticket or a discount on a pack of four tix. Spend $60?!? Ha! Not me!

There are lots of coupons from yesterday’s paper, as well as tearpads and peelies found all over the place, for Kraft/Nabisco products. Check out your other local grocers for those coupons, check CVS & Walgreen’s & Target too……….you’ll find them.

I’m confident that with even minimal effort, I can get $60 worth of product for $20, and earn my free tickets plus get stuff my family will eat.

Good luck & happy couponing!

adding new stores to my repetoire

June 13, 2010 by · Leave a Comment

With the addition of Baby #2 to the household, I really cut back on the deals I was doing. Actually it was pretty much just Acme, I even retired my CVS card for a while. I haven’t even set foot in a Walgreen’s in months!

But now I have more time and frugality and making money is my focus, so I think this will be my store list for a while:
Groceries-definitely Acme, will be checking Giant for gas deals since we now have pumps in Kennett; going to keep my eye on Shoprite and Pathmark for “must do” deals
HBA-back on board at CVS; going to either add Walgreen’s or Rite Aid, lately it’s looking as if Rite Aid has more money makers
Other-going to keep my eye on Kmart and see if it’s worth it, they now have a rewards program

Are there any other stores you would like me to check out and report on?

clearance time

January 23, 2010 by · Leave a Comment

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!

January 23, 2010 by · Leave a Comment

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.
