When is the next couponing class??

make sure to keep an eye out for those sneaky evic q's from harris teeter. i checked mine last night to make sure there were no new ones to load before heading out for sd's today. then just now i checked again and 2 new ones appeared! :) these were for hot pockets and juicy juice, both of which i will be getting soon. yea!

Has anyone gotten the free glass digital weight scale at CVS, valued at $9.99? It is free if you guy $30.00 worth of weight losing products. Here is what I did to get it free. They have the slimfast shakes 4 pk. at 2/$9.00. I bought 6 of them. Then I made up the difference by buying 3 individual balance bars. I used 3 coupons of BOGO free of shakes taking off $19.47. So, I spent $30.00 minus $19.47 minus $9.99 = $0.54 total for 6 4/pks of slimfast drinks, 3 balance bars, and a new weight scale that tells me I really need to shrink. Although I only paid $4.50 for each 4 pk. it appears she gave me $6.49 off since that was what the coupon would allow. Oh well, I'll take it. Elizabeth

Note sure it was posted anywhere so forgive it this is a duplicate! Kroger had its normal one page ad in the paper today EXCEPT it was for a special 4 day sale! Bacon for $1.99/lb and some other good items. I almost missed it since it is usually just a repeat of some of the Sunday circular ads.

I think I will make my pizza crust thin the next time, heremeaj. They always seem a little too thick for me when I use the whole dough ball for 1 crust. Thanks for the tip! :-)

savesavesave- you can roll out pizza dough and put it on the grill- awesome!!! I shake Italian seasonings on the dough and roll them right into the crust. Spray w Pan and put directly on the grill for 1-3 min on each side. Cook it on both sides and then you can turn off grill and add toppings (close grill cover for 10 min to let them cook) or finish in oven. Makes a great pizza and the herbs make the dough great. Trader Joe's also has pizza dough for @ a dollar a bag . We like thin crust pizza so I get 2 large pizzas from each bag of dough.

The Price Book is on the front page of the blog in the set of Featured boxes below the second post. Look for the picture of the strawberries. Here is the direct link:

Savesavesave: I defrost the HT pizza dough int he fridge for a day or 2 until fully defrosted. Preheat oven to 350. Then I put a little olive oil on my pizza stone. Put pizza dough in middle of stone and roll out to sides of stone. I put a little olive oil on the rolling pin so the dough does not stick to it. I then put a little olive oil around the crust and sprinkle garlic powder and Italian seasonings all over the uncooked crust. Bake crust in the oven for 8 minutes before putting on the toppings. Then remove crust from oven and top with desired toppings. We usually use green peppers, spinach, mushrooms, onions and/or black olives. Then top w/ cheese. I usually sprinkle with garlic powder and seasonings again. Bake at 350 for 10-12 min until done. Enjoy!

Hi FlyingUndertheRadar - could you direct me to where I can find Faye's price book? That would be hugely helpful! Thanks!

That's $50 off on the laptops, sorry about that...

Kindle - Fire for $155?

Yes!

Search "Deals Near You" on the BestBuy website to find a store near you that has them open box (and there are many of them) to get 10% off.

While on the site, notice the "Open Box" coupon for $25 off openbox tablets good to 28 Jan.

Note, a similar strategy can be applied to other tablets/ipads as well as laptops which are $50. I used both of these deals during the holidays to save a combine $135 (23%) off my purchases.

Langley103 - after much searching I found it, thanks so much for your help.

luvmylogan- Kroger digital coupons CANNOT be combined with manufacturer coupons. I rarely use the digital ones because a doubled manufacturer usually makes the product cheaper.

Faye, I was looking back at older resources today and wanted to kniow if there is an Expense Tracker that we can use that is not in pdf format. It has great info (Jan 7,2010) but is not currently in a fomat I can use.

good morning faye...as always, thank you for ALL you do, it is MOST appreciated...would you mind telling me again how you go about defrosting your pizza dough you get from ht and of course how you prepare it? thanks a million!

Kroger Stores question-

I am not a frequent shopper at Kroger and not very familiar with their policies. They are advertising if you buy 4 participating P&G items you save an automatic $4 at the register. The ad also states there are electronic coupons (like HT ZVR's) that you can load on your Kroger card for additaional savings. My question is, can I still use Manufacturer coupons for each item with the deals? Does anyone know or have they tried? Thanks!!!

High Spirits -

Good Morning. For Chix, the lowest price I recall seeing is $1.67/lb for boneless(almost always @ Lowe's Foods)...if you see some in the $1.88/lb range (more often), that's pretty good too. For boned/split breasts, .99/lb is usually my buy price.

Laundry Detergent: 1.50 range is definite stock up, 1.99 is good if you're down to 1 or 2. Wisk & All are brands I see most @ 1.99 after coupons

Toothpaste - free to .25

Milk - depends on how much your family consumes...Smart Balance often goes on sale (or is FREE/close to free) during SD's...we like the fact that it has a longer fresh date, so can get 2 or 3 to bridge thru til the next sale.

Dawn-often the 'baby' size goes on sale @ Teeter for .99...some months P&G has .50 q's, making it free. This month the potential for savings is a wimpy .25 q (doubled) & .25 ZVR, so if it goes on sale for .99 you can get it for .25.

Hope this helps. Faye has a wonderful price book on her blog, which will give you a great start!

Hi everyone,

Our blog has so many wonderful people and I love to tap into your collective wisdom to help with a frugal goal. I'm becoming a little overwhelmed as I try to create a pricing book. As part of this, I'm struggling with what is considered the best "buy price" for items, especially as store prices have increased over the last few months. Would anyone be willing to share their buy price for popular items such as laundry detergent, tissue, dish soap (Cascade, Dawn, etc.), toothpaste, milk, eggs, soda, chicken breasts, etc.? Thanks!
