Did you catch the $0.99 cent sale on the boneless/skinless chicken breasts in the Phoenix Ranch Market ad this past week? If you still have the ad, take it to Walmart & ad match!! I got about 20 pounds of chicken for around $20.00! Seriously can't beat that kind of deal!We eat chicken like it's going out of style.

So, I love Dove. My awesome hair responds well to Dove conditioner; it's not weighed down with wax like Pantene and I LOVE that it's affordable! I used to use Redken, but then I joined reality and started spending my money more wisely! Anyways, check out this rockin' deal on Dove hair care going on this week at Walgreens!

I love Fry's. Mostly because they're almost always the cheapest around.Right now they're having a sale on Kellogg stuff. If you buy 4 participating items (see store flyer), they'll automatically take $4.00 off of your total - limit 2 rewards per transaction, that means that you can buy 8 participating things and they'll take the $4.00 off twice, but no more than twice per transaction.If you got

The Mr. and I hauled our kids to Fry's to buy some more stuff before the sale ends on Tuesday. I had written out everything that I wanted so that I could take advantage of not only the $5/10 deal going on, but also the $5 off $20 Walgreens Q that was floating around and/or this $6/$30 (only good thru today!). But when I handed the Walgreens Q to the cashier, she said they were told not to take it

Disclosure: I may be moving as soon as this weekend, as well as heading out of town on Thankgiving vacation next week so forgive me if I'm MIA quite a bit the next couple of weeks. We will be heading to a town where they're not as into couponing as we here in AZ are, AND they don't double coupons! I'm going to attempt to figure out some ways to help my sisters save money - I'll report on that

Well, it'd be fantastic if I could get you a pic, but unfortunately, my camera died and I'm totally devistated.

After I picked my son up from school, he, my daughter and I headed to Fry's to take advantage of a few things on sale that I didn't get last time I was there, only because they were completely out of what I wanted! I'm not sure what they fed my son at school today, but he was seriously hyped up, driving me nuts at the store, but I still managed to do OK. Here's what we picked up...18 - boxes of

My hubby is home today and I HATE just sitting around when we could be doing perfectly productive stuff together. . . husband and wife, hand-in-hand. So what did we do?

Around 6pm tonite, both my kids started getting tired and there was NO WAY I was going to have them fall asleep so early! My son would wake up at 4am, ready to start his day. I, however, would not be so happy to wake up that early in the morning. So, I quickly gathered up some coupons and we took a family trip to Fry's.I bought:8 - Bounty Basic single rolls ($0.88 cents each)4 - 1/2 gallon Fry's

I really enjoyed THIS post on Once A Month Cooking. This lady is amazing! She's a single mom of 3 girls and has set a food budget goal of only $800.00 for the year. And she's kept to it! AMAZING. Totally inspirational. I just might adopt this idea, both the financial goal and the OAMC goal - I'll keep you updated on my thoughts. :) Enjoy the post!

When I first got into couponing, my hubby thought it was the biggest waste of time & money. He never in a million years would have believed that I would learn how to save us hundreds of dollars each week. Alas, he has been converted.Click here to enjoy a short video of him basking in his I-get-free-stuff glory. :)

One of my fav resource websites, Pinching Your Pennies, has worked out a great price deal with the Arizona Republic newpaper. If you want to order, follow THIS link and you'll get the best price around. .I currently have 3 Sunday newspapers delivered, which is a good amount of coupons for our family of 4. I might up it to 4 newspapers once our new baby arrives in May.

MOST COMMON COUPON ACRONYMS $/$$ - As an example, $5/$25 = $5.00 off your order of $25.00 or more. You'll often see other coupons that are similar, like $2/$10 or $3/$30. If your store is accepting competitor coupons, present these $/$$ coupons to the cashier BEFORE giving them any other coupons you may have.BOGO or B1G1F Buy One, Get One FreeBTFE – Box Tops for EducationBTW – By The WayCatalina

If a manufacturer issues a coupon, that item will more than likely go on sale. When and where, we don’t know, but it eventually will.When you get your Sunday paper and / or print off coupons, flip through them to

Remember, 99% of the time, when a printable coupon corresponds with a sale going on, professional coupon-ers will post the link to the printable coupon. That way you don't always have to worry about finding one by yourself.
