Coupon Corner 2009

I don't think I've ever seen white sweet potatoes. I'll have to look for the BC sweet potatoes on sale since there are coupons out.

Patti, I like the white ones also, when I can find them. Usually, it is the orange yams that are on sale though. It is almost time for them to go on sale as a 5 lb. box. I try to get the one that is heaviest and has the largest potatoes in the box. It is easier to cook them (in their jackets) and them freeze for later on.

Cheryl, I have not received your envie from last week. Did it come back to you for any reason?

Take care all!! Norma

I rarely find the white sweet potato in regular stores generally at produce places or this one farm that sells a lot of the stuff they grow. HMMM! going to try to find some to flat out eat but also make pies out of. Never made pies out of them before

Publix had creamy peanut butter for the $.01 item today at one store in Anderson, SC, and a 4 roll pack of Publix toilet paper at the other, both both. Used the $.50/1 coupons on Frank's Hot Sauce, $1.09, purchased 10 of them to make up the $10 required to get the $.01 item, paid $.91 total.

Blondie, that is both great savings, and an odd combination (tp and hot sauce), but you have to strike while the prices are good.

How is your friend with the food pantry? Has she found the time to try to tie into some other agencies? Is your coupon club donating anything, or is it still just you?

Well ladies, better go for now. Tea is ready and I need to make breakfast and get out the door to work.

Take care all!! Norma

There will be 2 inserts in this Sunday's papers.

Also, start stocking up for the winter on those baking staples - flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, karo syrup, sprinkles, colored sugars etc. That way, when the opportunity to bake presents itself (a snowy Saturday afternoon you were supposed to be out Christmas shopping perhaps), you will be well prepared, and happy that you did so.

Obviously, also look in your local grocery ads, and grocery ad coupons for the staples for your Thanksgiving dinner. It does not have to cost more to taste better.

Ladies, better go for now.

Take care all!! Norma

Patti - I received your envie yesterday. Thanks for sharing.

I just got back from the grocery store and spent $61.71 and saved 60.68. Pretty close to 50%. Plus I got 2 coupons for $10 off $5 at Fashion Bug, a store I definitely shop at. I also picked up 6 Christmas stocking stuffers - 2 hand sanitizers, 2 tubes of incense sticks and 2 Glade sprays. The Glade was on sale for $.99 each, and I had a coupon for B1G1.

As soon as I have lunch, I will be off to a Christmas craft show, and then to Big Lots for more stocking stuffers. I want to be done soon, so that on those really cold and/or rainy Saturdays, I can just stay home, wrapping or crocheting and not have to worry that I don't have this or that. i also have to stop at Bath and Body works, and Sephora in the JCPenneys near me. I have coupons for free items at both.

Next week I think I will only need fresh veggies, and cat litter.

Take care all!! Norma

Norma - you had great savings today. Sounds like you had fun. Enjoy the Christmas Craft Show. I always enjoy the one in Greenville, closer to Christmas.
I can't stand the incense, got a headache from it at a record store yesterday when I stopped to pick up some CDs for a friend. I told him he'll have to pick the next CD's himself.
Bloom stopped Triple Coupon Wednesday. The stockers said they may reinstitute it just before Thanksgiving. I miss my daily trips to Bloom, good exercise too. Charlotte, NC is doing Super Doubles on coupons, doubling coupons worth up to $1.99. The employees said that may come here to SC which would be nice.
