Coupons.com Virus

I keep reading on couponing sites that there is a virus over at Coupons.com. I've been printing my coupons through Swagbucks and haven't noticed anything, but I'm not sure where the virus is coming from. You may want to avoid printing from Coupons.com and affiliated sites until the issue is cleared.

***Update: It seems like everyone who has been affected says a screen pops up that looks like your antivirus program telling you your computer is infected, and then if you proceed to download something to "remove" the infection, you actually become infected. If something like this pops up, close the window and make sure to scan with your legitimate antivirus program.

New link for Home Made Simple Coupon book

There's a new link for the Home Made Simple Organize in Style coupon book. Fill out the form and you should receive a book filled with P&G coupons. I just received my book from last time I requested one. My favorite coupon is for $1/1 Dawn Hand Renewal, which means free (nice) dish soap.

Thanks, Saving Addiction!

Watch Kroger's Facebook Page!

If you're not already, become a fan of Kroger on Facebook to see when they post new Game Day Greats Gridiron Giveaways. Yesterday you could load a coupon for a free 12-pc chicken wings to your card, today you could load a free party tray coupon. It appears the coupons need to be redeemed by 2/7. 

Also, check out the Kroger Game Day Great Sweepstakes for a daily chance to win free items loaded to your card.

Great Cellfire Promotion

If you have a Cellfire account, make sure you log on tomorrow (1/27) between 1:00 and 5:00 PM (EST) for a coupon worth $0.50, $1, $2, or $5 at Kroger. Last time they had a promotion like this (sometime before Christmas, I remember something Santa related), I won a $5 coupon. If you don't have an account yet, sign up now and register your Kroger Card. Tomorrow when you log in, you'll have to click on the coupon and load it to your card. Totally worth saving at least $0.50!

If you aren't familiar with Cellfire, "Cellfire offers digital coupons that can be saved directly onto your grocery club card from the web or your mobile phone." You need to register with your cell phone, but after that you can choose to load all of your coupons from your computer. It's nice to have another place to find e-coupons, and I love these promotions they do.

Half off Thursdays

A great way to save money locally is to take advantage of Citadel Broadcasting's Half Off Thursdays. They generally offer gift certificates to local businesses for half off. This week the deal is a $50 gift certificate to Bay Street Station for $25. They've offered a wide variety of gift certificates, check it out every week to see what you can get, though there isn't always a new deal every week. In the past I've gotten a $50 certificate to Serenity Spa and Salon (yay for pampering within a budget!), and a $50 certificate to Meats and Mooore. The meat one was excellent, I was able to stock up on meat at half price.

These deals go live at 9:00 am on designated Thursdays. There's a limited number available, and the hot deals go quickly (within minutes) so you have to be fast. Let me know if you've gotten any great deals in the past.

Sunday (1/23) Coupon Preview

 Head on over to Sunday Coupon Preview to check out the coupons that we will possibly receive in the newspaper tomorrow.

There will be one Smartsource insert and one Redplum insert. I noticed that there should be some Ronzini coupons in the SS, I sure hope so, I'm running "low" on free pasta!

How I spent my $20 Amazon card

Since I'm a member of Amazon Mom I get a 15% discount on select diapers (and wipes), plus an extra 15% off for signing up for Subscribe and Save (a program that automatically ships more product to you as often as you sign up for.) So I got this 120 count, size 5 case of diapers for $22.63, shipped. I used my $20 giftcard (that I only spent $10 on) and only spent and additional $2.63 OOP. That's a great price. Even if I hadn't had the giftcard, the pricing is good, especially for not having to step out of my house to buy them.

And, you can cancel the Subscribe and Save option at any time, it's not a commitment. Then next time you need more diapers, you can do the whole thing all over again.

I think Amazon Mom is a great program for any parent to sign up for if you buy brand name diapers or wipes. One of the best parts is that you are automatically signed up for Amazon Prime for free, and qualifying purchases extend the free period. Amazon Prime gives you free 2 day shipping on eligible items (I think it's just the items that ship from Amazon, which most products do.) I usually use free super saver shipping for items, but this is faster and you don't need a $25 minimum. I don't know why I didn't sign up for this sooner!

Game Day Playbook

When you're out shopping, be on the lookout for Guy's Game Day Playbook, a little booklet with recipes and coupons in the back! Inside you'll find:

$1/1 Velveeta 1lb or larger AND 1 can Rotel
$1/2 Packages Philadelphia Cream Cheese
$1/2 Nabisco snack crackers
$1/2 Kraft or Cracker Barrel chunk cheese
$1/2 packages Oscar Mayer deli fresh meats

I found mine near the front of Kroger, near the books, on a large display holding Nabisco crackers. I've also heard these were available at Meijer, I wouldn't be surprised to catch them at Walmart either.

I always make a habit of picking up booklets I see in the store to check for coupons; I almost skipped this one, then I saw the note on top stating $5 in savings.

Need floss?

I was browsing Smartsource and Coupons.com and both sites have coupons for $1/1 Reach floss and $2/2 Reach toothbrushes. Kroger has the floss regularly priced at $1.49, so free with coupon. And if you don't mind cheap toothbrushes, Reach toothbrushes are frequently priced for just a dollar at various stores. If you like the slightly nicer toothbrushes, the drugstores frequently have deals where you can get them for cheap to free with this coupon.

Kroger Special K deal

This week when you buy 4 Kashi Go Lean, select Kellogg's cereals, or Select Kellogg's snack bars at $2.99 each, you can get 3 free half gallons of Kroger milk, lemonade, apple juice or Turkey Hill tea. Go here to get a BOGO Special K cereal coupon, and print it twice. Use the two coupons (note that the free box can only be Original or Multigrain Oats & Honey). So you'll be paying $6 for 4 boxes of cereal and a gallon and a half of milk, juice, etc. Not a bad deal if you like Special K, as this cereal is rarely cheap. At least not the Red Berries variety that my family loves!

Free Philadelphia Cream Cheese

Yay! Head over here to print 2 coupons that should make a sweet deal at Kroger. When you click to print, 2 coupons will print on the page, $1/1 brick of Philadelphia Cream Cheese and $1/1 package of Ritz Crackers. This will make for free cream cheese and cheap to free Ritz at Kroger! This was perfect timing for me, as I just used up the last of my cream cheese.

Thanks, Coupon Connections NW!

Free Ronzini Pasta at Kroger (til 12/26)

Head on over to Coupons.com (or to Swagbucks if you do that) to print coupons good on Ronzini pastas. There are $1/2 Ronzini Healthy Harvest and $1/2 Ronzini Smart Taste coupons. They are on sale for $1.00 at Kroger, making them free through 12/26. Print two of each and you can walk out of Kroger with 8 free boxes of pasta!

And if you actually regularly check my blog, sorry for being MIA for so long...

Free Cool Whip

I would like to point out that in addition to $0.25 cream cheese, the wonderful coupons at Kraft Foods will get you 2 free tubs of Cool Whip at Kroger this week. I now have 3 (free) tubs of Cool Whip in my freezer. One was free with the purchase of two Sara Lee frozen pumpkin pies, each of which I only paid $0.50. (There was $1/1 available in one of the recent inserts) The deal is still available through this weekend, in case you hadn't caught it.

New Kraft coupons

Go here (must be a member or register) to print some hot Kraft coupons, perfect for holiday baking and entertaining.

$1/2 Tubs of Cool Whip
$1/2 packages Oscar Mayer bacon
$1/2 Nabisco Crackers
$1/2 Packages Philadelphia Cream Cheese (this will make for $0.25 cream cheese at Kroger this week!)
$1/1 Maxwell House International Café or Maxwell House Coffee
$1/2 Packages of Baker's Bar products
$1/2 Kraft or Cracker Barrel Natural Cheese (bar or shredded)

Thanks, Printable Coupons and Deals

Swagbucks now has coupons!

I am more excited than I should be over an email I received today. Swagbucks is now offering printable coupons! They seem to be the same coupons offered on coupons.com and other sites, but you get rewarded for using them. Each coupon you redeem will earn you 10 swagbucks!

If you aren't familiar with Swagbucks, from their website "Swagbucks.com is the web's premier rewards site. Powered by Prodege LLC, Swagbucks.com allows web users to earn virtual currency by doing the things they do every day - search the web, shopping at their favorite retailers, and by engaging in other activities such as phone recycling, submitting polls, and completing special offers. Swagbucks.com is the only place on the web to get what you want without ever having to spend a dime."

It's completely free, and you earn rewards by doing little things like searching the internet (winning points is random, you never know what searches will win points, or how many you'll get), and watching videos. Many users use Swagbucks.com as their homepage and do all searches from the site. I recently saw that I could earn up to a couple hundred swagbucks by recycling my phone. I'm due for an upgrade in a few months, you can guess where my phone is going!

And today (and every Friday) is Mega Swag Bucks day, which means you are more likely to win higher points for you searches. I'm saving my points for an Amazon.com giftcard, but there are a lot more prizes that are less "costly."

I am so beyond excited that I can now earn swagbucks from couponing!!!

Egg coupon at Smartsource

I was browsing Smartsource.com and noticed a very cool coupon. $0.55 off any 2 one-dozen cartons of eggs. When eggs go one sale at Kroger, this is going to make them super cheap.

Kroger today

Today  got all of this for $13.86:

I'm going to donate the deodorant, toothbrush and toothpaste.

I had a $5/$50 purchase coupon I used first, and also a free Kandoo Wipes coupon. Everything else is listed in my matchups here.

It's a good idea to make sure your info is all correct for your Kroger card so that you can get all of the great coupons the company sends out. This month I received the Kroger my magazine, which included coupons relevant to cooking for the holidays. I also received in a separate mailing, coupons for products tailored to what I often buy. Those mailers usually include dollar off total purchase coupons, also dollar off certain departments (meat, frozen, etc.) I love when I get these coupons!
