Best of Menards (8.28 - 9.11)

Okay, so Menards had a HUGE sale ad this Sunday, and it runs until the 11th of September! Inside their ad was another ad for their clearance items. Which, surprisingly, included some rebate items!! The think remember to about these prices is that they reflect AFTER rebate cost. Menards rebates are done through snail mail (a little archaic I know), and after 4-6 weeks you will receive a credit voucher that is good for in-store credit @ Menards only. I love their huge selection, and you would be surprised at what you can find. Just a warning; this list is long.
Menards Clearance Ad
  • 16 oz Wood Claw Hammer - $3 - $3 mail-in rebate= Free after rebate (limit 2 hammers per household)
  • Retractable Utility Knife - sale $2 - $2 mail in rebate = Free after rebate ( limit 2 per household)

Sale Ad Aug 38 - Sept. 11

  • TIGI hair Products - $9 - $9 rebate = Free after rebate (limit 4 products per household)
  • Totter Stopper (fixes wobbly furniture) - $3.09 - $3 rebate = .09 each after rebate (limit 2 per household)

  • 20 piece box Super Hook - $3.44 -$3 rebate = .44 each after rebate (limit 4 boxes per household)
  • Digital thermometers - $7.88 - $7 rebate = .88 each after rebate (limit 4 per household)
  • Home/Auto wet wipes - sale .49 each
  • 20 pk batteries - $4.99 - $4 rebate = .99 each (limit four 20pk boxes per household)
  • 8 oz hardwood floor finisher - $3.49 - $3 rebate = .49 each after rebate (limit 5 bottles per household)

  • 12 pk Microfiber towels - $6.99 - $5 rebate = $1.99 after rebate (limit two 12pks per household)
These are just the cheapest deals I found under $2 in the ad. If you are looking to make some home improvements, or projects look over their entire ad week to week. They are almost always running more rebate deals on those items, as well as higher ticket items for around the home.

"Pick Another Check Out Lane Honey" Book Review

On my quest to learn couponing I've read two books so far. The first was written by "Coupon Mom" who was featured on Oprah, but I wasn't that happy with the book. I also felt some of what she wrote about was bit dated for the current coupon climate. So I decided to read the "Krazy Coupon Lady" book, "Pick Another Checkout Lane Honey". If you watch TLC's "Extreme Couponers" she was on it, along with her co-auther and friend. Together they have written an awesome book.
This is a great book for beginners, and really even for someone who's been doing this for awhile. They covers absolutely anything a couponer needs to know. From helping you find your coupons, tips for your stock-pile, and helping you through checkout and grumpy checkers. They also have a section to help with your finances. It covers the basics really, but it is a well written chapter. If I had any complaint with the book, it's only that sometimes her writing was a bit perky for my tastes. That's really a literary issue though, and doesn't have any bearing on the content of the book.
I loved this book so much I decided to have a special giveaway with it! For this giveaway to happen two things have to be done first.
1. The Kansas Coupons Facebook page must hit 100 fans. We're already at 83, so that shouldn't take two long.
2. If you want to be entered to win you will have to leave a comment ON THIS POST, not the facebook page.
When all that is done I will randomly choose 2 people from the comments to win a book. I ordered 2 books, so 2 people will win from this.
If you want to order Pick Another Checkout Lane, Honey: Save Big Money & Make the Grocery Aisle your Catwalk! instead of waiting, click this link to order one for 10.98



$15 Stockpile list (8.26.11)

Okay so this list will include 2 stores: Walmart and Dillons. There are two free things we can get @ Dillons, and Walmart has a great cat food deal going, so I will admit that a lot of the cost in this list is from that. If you don't have cats though that leave you some wiggle room to put something else in there. As I've said, this is a list of things I actually will get for myself, although I sometimes put in products I don't use, but know others doFirst we'll list the two freebies from Dillons this week. One coupon I don't believe we got (I don't have it) so you might have to order it. Or trade for it.

Dillons

Tennessee Pride Sausage Gravy- $1
- .75/1 coupon (RP 7/25) will double to $1
Final Price: FREE

GUM Kids Toothebrush (2pk) - $1
-.55/1 coupon will double to $1
Final Price: FREE

Walmart
15 Purina One Beyond Cat Food (small size) - $2.57
- $2/1 Any Purina One cat food (SS 8/21)
Final Price: $5.70 for 15 (.57 each) (I told you it was a lot of cat food)

4 French's Honey Mustard - $1.50 each
-.75/1 coupon
Final Price: $3 for all four (.75 each)

10 Viva Single Roll Paper Towels - $1
- .40/1 coupon (Expires 8/28 )
Final Price: $6 (.60 each)

Total Cost: $14.70 pre-tax

Normally I would try to have more items on my list, but with 2 products for free I allowed myself to get more of a couple items I really need in my home. Warning! The coupon for the Viva paper towels expires on the 28th of this month, this Sunday! So if you want that item you gotta hustle a little.

Cheap Binders @ Walgreens

This is an update from my trip to Walgreens today. While I was there I noticed they had their 5 Star Binders on sale 33% off, I got a really cute one for my schoolwork for $8. Of course, I used my RR's so it was even less. Also, they had the ones where you color in the covers (it's all different designs that the kids color) for only $4!!! Really some great prices if you're looking for a coupon binder, school binder, or something for the kiddos. I paid twice as much last year for one I didn't even like! Happy hunting everyone.

Stockpile Scott TP & Paper Towels @ Kmart

Kmart is doubling coupons all this week (8/20 - 8/27). The policy may change store to store, but for most stores they are doubling any coupons up to .99, and allow 4 like coupons per transactions. Also, you need to be a Shop Your Way Rewards card member, and if you're not it's free to sign up in the store. Every store may be different so I would suggest calling your local Kmart and asking exactly how they are doing their doubling, how many they will double per item, etc. Okay, now to the deal: If you spend $15 on Scotts Products you will receive $5 off instantly.

Buy 3 Scotts Paper Towels OR Toilet Paper - $5.49 each
use (3) $1/1 Scotts Bath Tissue (SS 8/14)
OR use (3) $1/1 Scott Towels (4 pk +)
Final Price: $8.47 or $2.83 per package!!

Now, I don't think we received that coupon in our area :( However, if you don't mind doing it you can always look at the different coupon clipping sites online and order a few if you would rather. Just be careful of shipping times! Happy hunting everyone

Thanks Not-So-Extreme Couponing (Kmart double event) AND Coupon Connections (Scotts Deal)

Getting Coupons in the Mail for Your Stockpile

Usually I do a weekly list of things you can get for your stockpile, but I really wasn't that happy with the sales this week. So I'm doing a quick article on mailing companies for coupons. I like using these coupons for my stockpile for a few reasons.
The first is that many times they are a higher value (if not for free products) than the normal coupons you find online, and in the paper. Another reason I like these coupons for stockpile use is they usually have very long expiration dates. Many times for around a year, and in fact I received a couple coupons from a chap stick company that had NO expiration date. It even said that on the coupon! Lastly, I've received coupons in the mail from companies that I haven't found anywhere else.These coupons aren't going to grow your stockpile over night, but they will help give it a leg up.
 Some companies will send you one coupon with either a very high value or a free product. Others will send a few high value coupons only, and still others will send you mix of both free and $ off coupons. Of course use your free product coupons right away to add to your stockpile. My suggestion for the others is to use them at a store that either allows overage. That way you can use them to either get more of the same product within that dollar amount, or use it for other items you may not have coupon for.
Let's say that a soup company sends me 2 $2/1 ANY product coupons for mailing them. My store has a deal going on that soup for 2/$1, and allows overage (they won't adjust the coupon down). I go in, buy four cans for $4, and use my two coupons, and get all four for free! Plus I just got an item for my stockpile I may have gotten for awhile.
So, you may be wondering how you mail, or email, the companies and get these coupons. The way I did it, was I went through my house and wrote down a list of the products we used a lot. Like juice, cookies, diapers, soup, etc. Then I searched for them on the web, found their contact info and emailed the company my compliment, or complaint.
I structure my email this way: I list my compliment or complaint, including a personal story (such as, my son wouldn't drink juice until he tried yours and his favorite flavor is...). I do not ask for coupons! When I first started I did, and many companies merely emailed me back and stated that they had coupons in the local papers. I think the recent influx of people asking for coupons has overloaded the companies ability to send them, and they are saving them for true customers. The only time I make an exception for this is with companies were I have not tried their product. Then I merely contact them, tell them I am interested in trying their product (insert reason). Still I don't ask for coupons, merely where their products are sold, maybe health information things along that line.
Of course not every company has sent me coupons. It's probably 50/50 on whether or not I get some, but I've been happy with the ones I have gotten, and they have helped me cheaply grow my stockpile even faster. Some other quick tips, join Vocalpoint if you haven't already and keep checking their Try and Tell section. Many time they offer free samples, some full sized, or coupon offers. Also, sign up for all the free samples you can find. Many times they will also come with coupons for that product, sometimes for a higher value than you normally find. Another great blog I follow is Couponing to Disney, and she will put out the contact info for 5 companies every weekday, called 5 A Day.
Remember to get creative on ways to grow your stockpile and reap the rewards of a grocery store *wink* in your home. Be honest, have fun, and happy bargain hunting for everyone!

Best of Menards (8.14 - 8.28)

It's been awhile since I've seen a Menards ad in the Sunday paper, and frankly I've been missing them, luckily for us there was a new one this Sunday. As usual I've compiled their best rebate deals under $10. Just a reminder that these prices reflect the rebate, and that these rebates are through the mail and take 4-6 weeks to arrive at your door, and come in the form of in-store credit. Think of Menards rebates as a form of Register Rewards from Walgreens, the point is to acquire them and keep using them week to week to keep your out of pocket expense down after the initial trips.

  • 4 pk Fan light bulbs - $3 - $3 mail in rebate = FREE (after rebate) (limit 2 packs per household)
  • Shopper's Bags - .98 each - .98 rebate = Free (limit 10 bags per household)
  • Vaseline Sheer Infusion Lotion - 6.8 oz $5 -$5 rebate = Free AND 13.5 oz $8 - $8 rebate = Free (limit six bottles of EACH size per household) if you wanted to you could get 12 bottles of FREE lotion!!! you pay out of pocket but you'll get it all back
  • Hand Sanitizer - $1 - $1 rebate (limit 5 bottles per household)
  • Rain Poncho - $3 - $3 rebate (limit 2 per household)
  • 2" Hand clamp - $4.50 - $4.50 rebate = Free (limit 2 clamps per household)
  • Multi-Purpose Rope - $4.99 - $4 rebate = .99 each (limit 4 per household)
  • Water Filter Replacement Cartridges, 2 different kinds - $2.99 each - $2 rebate = Free (limit 1 of each kind per household)
  • Fiberglass Replacement Screen - $3.99 each - $2 rebate = $1.99 each ( limit 4 rolls per household)
  • All Purpose Shop Wipes - $5.99 - $4 rebate = $1.99 each (limit 2 containers per household)
  • Mold-X Deep Stain Remover - $9.98 - $5 rebate = $4.48 each ( limit 4 bottles per household)
I have to admit that the out of pocket cost for all that lotion would be a lot, but for 12 bottles of FREE lotion (and good stuff to) it is mighty tempting. On another note, in case your wondering what the hey to do with that free tool they always seem to throw in there somewhere, think Christmas. By themselves these tools aren't impressive, but put them together in a basket...... well it could be a great gift for the DIYers in your family.

Huggies Slip-On $4.49 @ Walgreens

Walgreens is running a register reward deal this week on their Huggies Slip-On that will allow you to get a pack for $4.49.
Buy one Huggies Slipon package - $9.49
- $3/1 coupon (SS 8/14)
Pay: $6.49
Receive $2 RR
Final Price: $4.49!!

Just remember that Walgreens give 1 RR per item, per transaction, and will not give you another one if you use the RR you received for the first pack on another. So if you want more than one package and the RR they must be in seperate transactions, and don't use your $2 RR from previous packs. If you have other RR's from other products though feel free to use those instead!!

Cheap Curious George DVD's

Go to coupons.com and look under zip code 90210 for the $3/2 Curious George DVD's. Head to your nearest Target and check their prices, some people are finding DVD's there for $5 each, or on price cut for $7 each. Use your coupon to score some early Christmas or Birthday gifts!!

$15 Stockpile list for 8.12.11

My list is from Walmart this week, so I'm going to give a quick couple of tips and warnings before I begin the list. First, remember that Walmart prices vary a lot sometimes from region to region, so what may be $1 for me might be $1.50 for you, or vice-versa. The second thing about Walmart, is that I suggest you take their coupon policy with you when you go. I have heard, and read quite a few complaints from couponers who have had bad experiences there, and it's mostly due to the store employees lack of knowledge on their own policy. I have not had any bad experiences myself, but it could happen to anybody, at any store really. Okay, enough of that, onto the good part!
Walmart
24ct Advil - $2 
Final Price: FREE

Final Price: $2.28 all four

4 Tidy Cats Cat Litter (small bags) - $1.77 each
Final Price: $3.08

Grand Total: $14.40 before taxes!! 
As usual, I made this list based off of my own needs and wants for my house and stockpile, so feel free to tweek and substitute anything you'd like. I make these lists because I like to share the deals I find, and because I want to show how a little money each week can turn into a large stockpile quickly! You don't have to spend an extra $100 every week trying to out do the Krazy Coupon Lady's pile. Remember that everyone you may, or may not have, seen on that show had been doing this for awhile. 
One more thing I wanted to mention that Dillons is also having another! great deal on Colgate toothepaste this week. It's on sale for .88 a box, and if you use the .50/1 Any Colgate toothepaste coupon, it will double to a dollar. That makes that deal a .12 MM!!! Happy hunting everyone :)

FREE Cogate toothepaste @ Dillons (yes again!)

So, once again Colgate Cavity protection toothepaste is FREE @ Dillons !!!! This deal just keeps going I guess :) They are on sale for .88 each, use the .50/1 Any Colgate toothepaste coupon that came out recently. It will double to a $1, and Viola! free toothepaste. Plus depending on your store policy, you can get .12 overage!!! I just bought some yesterday, and since my order was more than that (I had to get some staple without coupons), they didn't adjust the coupon. YIPPEE for me ! Either way, it's a great deal, and with all this free toothepaste happening this month your mouth won't stink for years, ha ha.

FREE Oxi-Clean Stain Fighter poweder @ Rite Aid

This deal is a little confusing, and relies entirely on +Up Rewards. Unfortunately, I don't have a Rite Aid in my area so I can't test this one for myself. My advice, go in try the deal 1 time, if it works, go back and get however many you want. +Up Rewards are like Register Rewards and Catalinas rolled into one.

It's being reported that when you buy 2 Oxi Clean Stain Remover 24 oz (this kind and size only!) that people are not only getting a $2 +UpReward, but also (2) $1 Up rewards. So here is how you can use this deal to get 2 containers FREE after Up Rewards

Buy 2 Oxi Clean Stain Remover 24oz powder containers - $3.50 each
- $3/2 Oxi Clean stain remover (SS 7/24)
Out of Pocket Expense: $4
Receive: $2, and (2) $1 Up Rewards
Final Price: FREE after rewards

I am not sure if we got that coupon or not. I didn't bring my binder with me tonight ( I know... a bad girl is me), but we did get some recently, or you can order from a clipping service. I have used some in the past, and I have been satisfied with my experience.

Drugstore Stockpile $20 (8.3.11)

I'm doing something a little different this week with the stockpile list, I am going to do a list from a drugstore. Walgreens, actually, and I'm doing 2 transactions. If you are not familiar with, or are slightly intimidated by, Walgreens and their Register Rewards I will do a brief explanation. When you look through a Walgreens ad, you will notice that sometimes they will list the price, then below write - $$ Register Reward then underneath that, Like Paying $$. Any you're wondering, what is a Register Reward (RR for short), and what does "Like Paying" mean??
A RR is a type of Walgreens only catalina, or a type coupon that prints at the register, that is Walgreens specific. You can then reuse that RR, in the place of cash on your next transaction. Walgreens does not give out overage though, and will not adjust price so check your math and make sure you have enough in your cart to cover all your coupons and RRs though. I will give you an example in the stockpile list I made for this week, so here we go!
Walgreens
Transaction 1
Gillette PrFusion gift box - $9.99
- $4/1 Gillette ProFusion Razor - 7/31 PG insert
Final Price: $5.99 (receive $5 RR)

Crayola washable markers - $2

- (4) .25/1 dawn dish soap (7/31 PG)
Final Price: $2.96 for 4

Total Price for trans. 2: $11
Receive $7 RRs

Total out of pocket expense: $21
Receive $16 in RR's

That's like paying only $5 total! This means that next week when their sales start you can take your $16 in Register Rewards and use them on other sale items, essentially gaining yourself an extra $16 in stockpile money that is not coming out of your pocket! Just remember that to continue receiving the RRs there are some rules: 1. You will get one per transaction (buy 1 item receive 1 RR, buy 2 items still only get 1 RR), 2. You cannot "roll" over your RRs on the same product. This means if you get a $5 RR for a razor, if you use that RR on your second transaction that contains another one of those razors, you will NOT get another RR. 3. No overage is paid @ Walgreens, so plan your trip well, and be ready with a few filler items.
I know that some couponing sites will offer you a breakdown of multiple transactions, using your RR's on the spot, and spending very little out of pocket. This is a wonderful concept, and I encourage you to try this to see if you like it, the Krazy Coupon Lady does one every week, for many of the drugstores not just Walgreens. My problem with this is that my store is so often sold out of the RR deals that it completely messes up everything!!! Making me spend MORE out of pocket, just because it throws me off. So I prefer to just spend more that first week, and just keep my RR's and use them next week instead. Actually after your initial visit you will spend very little, to nothing out of pocket from then on using you RR's.
Remember either way is fine, it's all about what works the best for you!!!

.97 olay bar soap & Satin Shave Gel @ Target

Check your Target for their Olay White Bar Soap singles for .97. Combine that with the coupon that came out in last sunday P&G insert for 1 free Satin shave gel wyb 1 Olay bodywash, bar, or hand/body lotion (limit 4 per transaction). Used together you can score both items for only .97!!!! That is awesome, remember that the P&G coupons all have a limit of 4 like coupons per transaction. So if you want more than 4 of these divide up your transaction.

Thanks Krazy Coupon Lady

New P&G coupon booklet

If you go here , and register, you can sign up to receive P&G new booklet filled with coupons for their products!! They had an earlier book that came with coupons that don't expire until 10/31, so these are good coupons that last longer than their insert coupons. Most are home products, cleaning and air freshners.
