Safeway Deals! (01/26/11-02/01/11)

Sorry it took me so long to get Safeway deals posted. There isn’t a whole lot of great prices this week and King Soopers took me so long to do! Though I made out great at Kings! Have you been yet? I’m not going to share what I got because unfortunately it can’t be duplicated. I had many free product coupons that I had been saving for such a sale :) But most likely, you don’t have them as well.

Remember to keep an eye out for the Safeway “Joy of Football” coupon book. If it’s not floating around the store, ask at the customer service desk. They most likely have it. Also, Safeway gives a $.05 credit for every reusable bag you bring in and use so don’t forget about them!

Rubber Dollar Review

Have you ever liked something so much that you didn't want to tell anyone about it in fear that it might get too popular? I actually considered that today before writing this post about yet another GREAT website similar to Groupon or Living Social. By the way, did you get in on the Amazon gift card deal that Living Social was running the other day? I sure did and I think I'm gonna buy a movie :) But I digress...

Rubber Dollar is a discount gift certificate website with some distinct differences from other sites in the way it's run. Right now, there are 85 area restaurants that participate and offer discounted gift certificates. For example, Zio's Italian Restaurant has a $15 gift certificate for $7! And what's different with Rubber Dollar is that it's not a one day event. Every month, a certain amount of certificates are released and are available till they run out. The most popular ones seem to run out with a week or two but that's still longer than you get with Groupon! It's similar to Restaurant.com in the manner that they're available for a longer time but so far, Rubber Dollar doesn't have all the stipulations that Restaurant.com has (i.e. having to spend more money above the amount of the certificate). If you want to spend only the $15 at Zios, you most certainly can! And it's not just restaurants! There are salons, bed and breakfasts, and local attractions as well. They even have 4-packs of tickets to Kimball's Cinema! I may get one of the Cog Railway certificates once spring arrives. We've never been! I bought a Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory gift certificate ($25 worth of product for $10! That's a better discount than Groupon was running yesterday!) at Christmastime for some gifts.

There's also traditional coupons on the website as well for alot of those same businesses. So let's say you wanted to buy a gift certificate to the Balanced Rock Cafe in Garden of the Gods. If the gift certificate offer was gone for the month ($5 for $20 worth of food), you could print a $5 off coupon instead. Not as great a deal but if you just HAD to go right then, it's better than nothing!

They also have a "Daily Indulgence" which is identically run the same way as Groupon or Living Social. A high discount to some area business but only available for the one day. My mom just bought yesterday's which was a house cleaning for $25. She so wanted that!

One drawback to the site though is that so far, it's only available here in Colorado Springs. There are a few Pueblo area restaurants as well but that's it. Maybe someday as they grow, they'll start offering more cities. But for right now, Colorado Springs has lucked out. So check it out HERE! It's just another great way to save some money.

King Soopers Deals (01/19-01/25/11)

Lots of good sale prices this week at King Soopers! Nothing totally spectacular but good prices on stuff we haven't seen on sale for a while. I expect better frozen foods sale prices in the next month or so though as February is officially "Frozen Foods" month. But if you need some now, go ahead and get it! Remember, King Soopers doubles coupons up to $1 and will give you a $.05 credit for every reusable bag you bring in.

Awesome Target deals this week!

I don't normally post about Target deals because for the most part, they're not very good. Sometimes, I can find some good stuff on clearance but that's few and far between. And because it's clearance, it doesn't last long and isn't regional. You'd have to go to that specific Target to find the clearance item. But this week, there's ALOT on sale so I thought I'd share. Also, there's rumors going around that alot of toys are now 75% off. If you want to start Christmas shopping for next year or are in need of a birthday present, you might want to check it out!

* Target lets you use 1 manufacturer's coupon + 1 store coupon per item. If they give you a hard time (which they do from time to time for me), get a manager involved. That's the quickest way to deal with it. Also, Target is notorious for coupons not scanning at the right price or not scanning at all. Make sure you watch carefully as the coupons scan.

Stockpiles and Shopping Trips

My mom called me obsessive tonight :) She said she might sign me up for couponers anonymous because I came home with 6 tubes of Colgate toothpaste and refused to part with them. They were free! How can you pass up free stuff? But seriously, who really needs 10 tubes of toothpaste? (6 new ones + 4 that were already in my stockpile). No one, that's who. So, at 11:00pm tonight I had a desperate urge to clean house. And oh boy, did I clean! I have 8 full bags of stuff that will be donated to our local food pantry tomorrow at church.

But I also added to my stockpile as well this week. Not a whole lot, though. I shopped at Safeway, Walgreens, and Sam's Club this week. I don't usually shop at Sam's because for the most part, nothing is a better price there than anywhere else. They just want you to think it is! Especially laundry detergent and paper products. These are a total ripoff. Don't cave to the idea that you're saving money just because you're buying in bulk! But, the general public gets in free till January 25th so I went and picked up a couple of things that are a good deal. Like popcorn. Yes, I did get 50 lbs of popcorn! At 33 cents a pound, it's a great deal! And we definitely will go through it. We're popcorn fanatics. Here's a pic of my Walgreens trip today. I had a couple of catalinas that needed to be used by tomorrow so I got a few things that I wouldn't have if they didn't happen to be free with my coupons. Like the stockings. Don't really need them but I needed fillers. I got 2 bottles of laundry detergent, 2 pairs of stockings, 2 toothbrushes, and 2 packages of feminine pads and paid $3.27. What a deal! In the past, I would have spent twice that on just 1 bottle of laundry detergent!

My Shopping Week

I haven't posted a picture in a while on my grocery shopping so I thought I'd show you how I did this week! First off, I need to vent. We spent $474.68 last month of groceries!! AHAHAHAH!!!!! Oh my gosh, that is ridiculous! I feel physical pain over that number. So obviously, we won't be spending much this month to compensate. But I think sharing this month's total can be eye opening for you, my readers. I don't always get great deals and I definitely don't get deals on everything. Almost $100 of that total was on alcohol. Sad, I know.

On to my next venting topic. Extreme Couponing. There's a new show on TLC called "Extreme Couponing" and it's all about how 4 people use coupons to get free stuff (or close to it!). They showed people's stockpiles and a man who got 1,000 boxes of cereal for free. I'm all about the free stuff but let's face it, who needs 1,000 boxes of cereal? Or 30 years worth of toilet paper? (yes, that was in one person's stockpile). I understand that this is reality TV and all about the "extreme" but I think it portrays couponers in a bad light. I try very hard not to take advantage of the system or be annoying when I'm couponing. It took the guy who got all that cereal two hours to checkout because of all the coupons! Now that's just rude. I also try to think of all the other people who might want the free products as well and I never wipe out a store's stock when I go. Even when I buy a lot of one item, like tonight, I don't come close to taking everything off a shelf! I hope when people see this show, they realize that that's not what ethical couponing is all about. And people, please, think of others and be responsible with your coupons.

Ok, back to my shopping trip. I got 22 boxes of fruit snacks and fruit roll-ups, 10 boxes of granola bars, 6 Hershey's candy bars, 4 packages of Johnsonville breakfast sausage (not pictured), and 12 Yoplait yogurt cups. Total amount spent: $4.70. I should have received a $3.50 catalina but I think the machine was broken so I have to call the company about that but still, $4.70 is not bad at all for all of that! It seems like it's been awhile since I've gotten that good a deal on anything. Probably because of the holidays. But this brightened my day! Now, to give it all away! Who wants some? :)

P.S. This picture was taken on my brand new camera! Thanks, Dad!
