How To- short version

The basic lesson behind the maddness is this: Buy what is on sale and use coupons for those items. Stock up when there are GREAT deals. You'll spend the same with double the groceries.

Disneyland trip

I am soooo excited to share this great news I just learned about.

Are you wondering how you could ever get to California and to Disneyland? Well, this year "go free on your Birthday" was a great way, but only one person got in free. You still had to pay for the rest of your family. Well, Disney is mixing it up next year.

Their new program is, Give a day get a Disney Day. How it works. Give a day of service, recieve a one day Disneyland/world pass. Everyone 6 and up can do it, and you can all do the service together and use the pass together.

What a great way to teach your kids about service and reward them for a job well done.

Those guys over at Disney are some smart people.

There are rules and restrictions. Click on the header and it will take you to their site. It doesn't start until January and they are only giving out 1 million tikets. (it sounds like a lot, but it's not considering this is Disney we're talking about)

Betty Crocker savings

Look to Albertson's for some great Betty Crocker savings.

Cake mix is 10 for $10. Frosting 2 for $3. General Mills cereals 2 for $4(check varieties). Frozen Green Giant Vegies 10 for $10. Plus more great deals (see add @ albertsons.com)

Plus get $5.00 off your next purchase coupon with a total purchase of $20.00.

Click on the title above or on link on my side notes for Betty Crocker online copouns.

Combine it with last weeks $5 off next purchase coupons and you could walk away owing mere pennies!

My receipt was:
purchases = 21.50
manufacture coupons = 6.75
store coupons = 12.50

Total = $2.25

I purchased: 4 cake mixes, 5 frostings, 3 progresso soups, and 3 boxes of Cocoa Puffs. Plus I recieved the coupon for $5 off next purchase.

Did you notice?

Did you notice that the Redplum coupon booklet is now being delivered in the mail? Now you don't have to subscribe to the paper to recieve the coupons. The only draw back is you can only get 1 set, instead of the 2 or 3 if you get that many papers delivered.

Kraft Deal at Albertson's

Have you taken advantage of the Kraft Deal at Albertson's? You really should think about it. It's truley free food. Spend $25 in kraft foods and you get an instant $5.00 off your next purchase and a $20.00 mail-in rebate. Simple as that.

Things to keep in mind:

-make sure to use your coupons too.
-if you're buying something for any other rebate too, make sure you buy them in 2 transactions, because you have to mail in the original reciepts.
-Make sure the items you pick up are the "participating" products. Brand/size/flavor etc.
-Make sure you spend $25.00 not $24.99, but $25.00.

The title of this post is a link to the deal.
