I Am Still Here!

Just wanted to drop a quick post to let you guys know that I am still here!  Unfortunately, I have not been able to do the coupon matchups the last few weeks, but I hope to get back into it starting with tomorrow's circular.  I have missed doing the weekly post, and it's helpful to know that people ARE coming here!  Thank you for the little kick in my butt and you will be seeing more posts SOON!

Another Penny Pincher Coupon Book

Hooray!  Yesterday in the mail, I got the most recent Coborn's Penny Pincher Coupon Book.  It notes that you can save up to $111.31.  I haven't even had time to look through these coupons yet, so as I compose this post, I'll be looking at it for the first time!  I hope there are some good deals!!

These are all store coupons and expire on 6/12/10.

Keep in mind that because they are store coupons, you can stack them with manufacturer's coupons for more savings.  I will note coupon match-ups that I find.  If you see any others, please let me know.  I have also highlighted my favorite coupons in green!

HOT Deal on Oscar Mayer HOT Dogs!

I went to Coborn's this morning and bought 4 packages of the Oscar Mayer hot dogs on sale for $1. Used the $1/2 coupon (either in the paper today or printable coupon here) which made them 50¢ each. Good deal, right? But even better! When I checked out, two $1 off your next order Catalina coupons printed out - making it seems like you get $1 for every 2 hot dog packages you buy - which results in totally FREE hot dogs! Wahoo!!

I am going to see if I can find an official word on the Catalina deal and what exactly it is.

Edited: I have heard from others that tried this and did not get the Catalina when purchasing the hot dogs.  I am not sure what I did to generate it as I did not purchase many things in my shopping trip.  Have you tried this?  Sorry for any confusion!

Pair this with the $5 oyno when you buy $25 of select Kraft products (O.M. hot dogs are included; full post on participating products coming soon), and given both Catalinas print, and you've got yourself a moneymaker!

Let me know if you try this!

Deals for Week of 5/16-5/22

I am actually pretty excited about this week at Coborn's!  There are a few really HOT deals!  There are some good coupon match-ups this week, mostly with coupons from this Sunday's paper, so I'd recommend you pick up a copy or two to aid in your Coborn's shopping!


They advertised a deal where if you buy $25 in select Kraft products, you will get a $5.00 "Catalina" coupon to use on your next order.  It says that a list of products is available in-store.  I will try to get this list and post it here ASAP!

If you see any other notable deals, please let me know.

Good luck & let me know how you do!
