2 liter Cokes for.25c a piece at CVS

CVS has a special this week on 2 liter coke products. They are selling them for 3/$4, and you get one extra care buck that prints on your reciept afterwards. That's an okay deal, but keep your eyes open for $1/2 coke coupons near the Soda. I was able to snag two of them which brought my total to $2 then I got an extra buck, which brought my total to one dollar. I don't know if I've ever gotten soda that cheap.

Free Scotch Brite Sponges

Join the Brite Ideas Club at scotch brite.com, and you may receive a $1/1 any Scotch Brite Product, you may get a link to it by email. These can go for less than $1 on a regular basis at Target and Walmart. It is in a PDF format, normally I do not post about PDF's because sometimes they are invalid or fraudulent. This particular company though (3M) regularly releases thier coupons in PDF format, and I got it straight from the manufacturer so I know it's a valid coupon. You may only want to redeem one or two at a time though at a particular store so that they do not think you are photocopying coupons. It is illegal to photocopy a coupon. If you take one or two at a time though, you shouldn't have a problem.

New Kelloggs Coupons

Kelloggs has just released some new coupons that will go along great with the Target sale this week. I am loving the 2/2 special K granola and the 1/1 special K granola Go here to get the coupons http://www2.kelloggs.com/Product/KelloggCoupon.aspx?id=1992

Printable Coupons

On the left side of the screen,I have listed some links for coupons.com , red plum.com, and smartsource.com These websites usually have excellent coupons, and the print limit on them is usually 2, check them outa few times a week. Right now coupons.com has nivea, TGI fridays snacks Pepperidge farm cookies, Birds Eye Steamfresh, and there are lots of others as well. Red Plum has maybelline, frosted mini wheats, and other kelloggs cereals. So go check them out, because the total number of prints available is unknown, and alot of times the really good ones are gone the next time you check. Hope you guys have a great sunday.

Target Clearance

Yay!! Right now Target has their Easter stuff marked down 75% to 90% off. Most of the 90% is the Easter baskets, I saw some Peeps too.The 75% off stuff is the chocolate, jellybeans, ( I love starburst jellybeans did you know that you can have 14 of them for 3 pts. on Weight watchers. I might have to make my own 100 calorie packs with them. )Anyways there is a coupon this week in the smartsource for Hershey's I believe and if you buy 4 bags you get a free movie ticket. The one's included are 10 oz or larger of the Hershey's kisses chocolates, Reeses Peanut Butter Cup Miniatures, Hershey's Miniatures, or York Peppermint Patties Visit http://www.hersheys.com/kissesmovieticket for more details.

JCPenney Coupon

Update : I got my coupon today and it was for a $10 off of $50. I'm not sure what happened, it may have just been a clerical error on thier part.Hey guys! I got a JCpenney circular in the mail today, in it there was a small ad that said that if you "Provide a never before registered email address to recieve a $5 coupon within 2-3 weeks." Obviously I signed Kevin and I up right away. Just as a note I would not sign up more than one or two email addresses per household, because I try not to take advantage of the companies that offer wonderful promotions like this. Here's the website to go to http://jcp.com/signup

Taking it slow

Let's be honest, when you're starting out couponing can be pretty overwhelming. We all want to save that 70% on our grocery bill RIGHT NOW. can I share a secret with you, the ladies saving 70% have probably been doing this for at least 6 months. I think it's really important in the beginning to focus on one or two stores, for example Target and CVS, with an occasional trip to Walmart. Once you've gotten the hang of CVS then try Rite aid, and finally Walgreens. So even though, you're going to see me list deals for all kinds of stores, don't feel like you have to get them all.
Which leads to the second thing I wanted to share with you. This has been a struggle for me to learn as well. Here's the thing just because there tons of good deals in a certain week, it doesn't mean you have to get them all. In my experience, the deals come in cycles and that awesome deal on cereal, WILL come around again, probably next week on a different cereal. I personally have gone over our grocery budget too many times to count, and it's taken me a long time to learn that just because something is good deal, doesn't mean that it works for your family's budget right now.

Welcome

Welcome to Cafe Frugale! Thanks for stopping by. If you are new to couponing this is the place for you. It's my goal to show you ways that you can slash your grocery budget by 50-70%. I want you guys to feel at home so please let me know of all the deals and steals you find. You can email me at frugalistagal@yahoo.com
