Apology

I am so sorry you guys...I totally blew it on this week's coupon matchups.  And what a week to miss!  I hope to still find time to do it but I can't make any promises as of now.  I was hoping to go to the store, browse the aisles, look at my coupons and come up with some good scenarios, but this week is just getting away from me.  I know that's no excuse and hope you'll stick with me anyway.

I appreciate your comments and will do a quick post about what other's have been finding during this special double-coupon week!

Double Up to 10 Coupons This Week at Coborn's!

Coborn's is doubling up to 10 manufacturer's coupons with a value of $1.00 or lower this week!  There is no minimum purchase and you may still combine store coupons.

As an example -
50¢ coupon = $1.00 doubled
75¢ coupon = $1.50 doubled
$1.00 coupon = $2.00 doubled

This should provide for some great deals this week, even on unadvertised items.

I will be posting some coupon match-ups later on today, along with the weekly deals. Stay tuned!

Deals for Week of 10/17-10/23

Not a very exciting week at Coborn's.  They advertise quite a bit of meat on the front page of this week's circular, but I am not sure if anything is that great of a deal.  We don't personally buy a lot of different cuts of meat so I'm not familiar with what are good prices.  If I'm missing anything HOT, let me know!

Catalina Deal to Pair with Penny Pincher Coupon

I just got back from Coborn's and had a very successful trip!  My total before coupons and sale prices was $97.47 and after sale prices and coupons, it came to $50.85 or a 49% savings.  Not bad!

I did want to let you guys know that a bonus Catalina coupon printed out with my order for buying Cottonelle toilet paper.  Wahoo!  If you buy 2 packages, you get a Catalina coupon for $2.00 off your next order.  Since the item was $4.97 with the Penny Pincher coupon, there are $0.50 mftg coupons out there, and then another $1.00 off per package with the Catalina, it brings it down to $3.72 for a 12-double roll package which seems like a pretty good deal to me for a name-brand product.

If you buy 3 packages, you get a $3.00 Catalina coupon, but the Penny Pincher coupon limit is 2.

This just started today (10/8) and goes through 10/22.

General Mills Coupon Book found at Coborn's

I found a new coupon book with General Mills manufacturer coupons at the Albertville Coborn's on the counter under where the weekly ad is posted.  I thought this had some decent coupons with higher value than is typically found in the Sunday newspaper or online printables.

It is called "Better at Home - Eat at Home for Less" and says "Save up to $15 Now" on the cover.

The coupons include ~  (I've bolded my favorites)

$1.00/1 Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cereal (no size restriction)
$1.00/2 Pillsbury Refrigerated Sweet Rolls
$1.00/3 Old El Paso Products (use to score cheap taco seasoning)
$1.00/1 Total Cereals (select varieties)
$1.00/2 Pillsbury Frozen Grands Biscuits or Cinnamon Rolls
$1.00/3 Progressive Soups
$1.00/3 Hamburger Helper

$1.00/1 Pillsbury Refrigerated Simply...Product
$1.00/1 Pillsbury Sweet Moments Refrigerated Desserts
$1.88/8 Yoplait Yogurt cups or Smoothie

Let us know if you score any good deals with these coupons.  Keep in mind you can use at any store, not just Coborn's, since they are manufacturer coupons.

Earn a Free Holiday Turkey

When stopping by Coborn's the other day, I noticed that the "Earn a Free Holiday Turkey" punch-card is back!  I believe you get a stamp with every $10 purchased and after you earn so many stamps, you can redeem it for a free turkey.  I will try & find out the details of how much you need to spend.  I have never been able to get to the amount needed, but I always start a card anyway just in case.

The completed card needs to be redeemed by December 2, 2010.

Let us know if you're able to score a free turkey this holiday season!

New Penny Pincher Coupon Book

By now, I hope you've received your Coborn's Penny Pincher Coupon Book in the mail and got some fabulous deals!  I realize there's only a couple of days left in this promotion, but hopefully a shopping trip is on your agenda in the next couple of days and you can take advantage of some of the penny pincher coupons.  I haven't went yet but I am putting it on my to-do list as there are a couple great bargains!

These are all store coupons and can be paired with manufacturer coupons.  They expire on 10/9/2010 (Saturday).

Better late than never, right?
