Sunday March 4 2012 Coupon Preview

Here is a link to see what coupons will be coming to you this Sunday. Remember some coupons are regional and some areas even get their Red Plum the Tuesday or Wednesday before so it may be a repeat of information in that area. Enjoy! (I will add the Smart Source and P&G links as I get them so you should have a total of 3 inserts for March 3).

"Disney's Lady and The Tramp" Blu-ray and DVD combo

So I have a rewards account with Disney and they offer coupons for a lot of their dvd and blu-ray combo packs.

Here is how to use the below UPC:
1) Go to Lady and the Tramp Upgrade (must sign in to your Disney Movie Rewards account)
2) Enter one of these UPC codes: UPC from the DVD is 786936284058 or UPC from the VHS is 786936078541
3) Choose whether you are purchasing the 3-Disc or 2-Disc Blu-ray combo to save either $8 or $5.
3) Print and take to the store with you to purchase before 02/19/12

I did many of these things in different transactions to stay under the maximum use of each coupon. Also, purchased the fruit snacks and the salsa in two different locations to price match and so I didn't clear the shelf at any location. Many of the items I price matched were on sale last week so they can no longer be price matched at Walmart but I wanted to let you see how you can work a double coupon trip along with price matching to make the most of your grocery shopping.

Item of the Week is at Rite Aid!

(Must have a Rite Aid rewards card & don't do this if your in a test area since I've heard a lot of people not getting their correct Up Rewards when they are loaded to the Rite Aid card).

Use (1) B1G1 Free coupon from SS 01/08
Use (1) $1/1 coupon from Stayfree.com (must register)
Pay $5 and Get (3) $2 Ups = $6 Up rewards so $1 Money Maker!
Total before coupons goes towards Winter Rewards "Buy & Save"

May not shop at Rite Aid anymore????

For those of you on Facebook, you probably have already see Rite Aids new post but thought we all better take a look at this and be careful if we are in one of the areas this effects (this will be sad if it happens since you will lose control of when and how you can use your Up Rewards with them):

Status Update

By Rite Aid

As we continue to enhance our wellness+ program in ways to deliver even more value and convenience that you’ve been asking for, we’ll be testing an exciting new Load2Card feature in three markets: Richmond, Salt Lake City and Seattle beginning today. In this test, we’re making a few changes: 1) +UP Rewards will be automatically loaded to members’ wellness + cards so you no longer have to worry about keeping track of your paper receipts and 2) a +UP can be used starting at 6 a.m. on the day after it was earned and will remain valid for 14 days. Nothing has changed outside these test markets – the +UP’s generated on your register receipt can still be used on same-day next purchases.

It is getting close to Girl Scout cookie time and I found my favorite "Thin Mints" recipe you can make at home. Thank you Katrina's Kitchen
All you do is click this link: All free copy cat recipes
Then it will ask for your email address. Once you give that you can search for tons of recipes. It is kind of tricky because there are lots of links in there but all you do is once you find the recipe you want is select the "click here for recipe one" and it brings up the actual recipe on what ever site it is at. This is a site that collects recipes from different sites that are posted free so don't worry when you end up going to a different site.
