Gold 'n Soft Spread at Harmons

There is a great deal on Gold 'n Soft at Harmons starting today through April 3rd. 15 oz. tubs are 2 for $2.00. There is a coupon in Smartsource from 11/21/10 for 50 cents off each tub or $1.50 off 2 tubs. That makes them either 25 cents or 50 cents each. Since they didn't have enough tubs for me, they let me buy some of the quarters in place of them (which they might not let you do). A great deal. And the coupon expires on 3/31. That's why I love coupons. Just waiting for the deal.

There is also a coupon for Frank's Red Hot Sauce for 50 cents off. They are on sale for 2/1, which makes them a freebie.

Harmon's also has Krunchers! Potato Chips 2 for $4. Use your $1 off coupon from several weeks ago, and they will be $1 a bag.

Harmon's Pineapples is only 88 cents a pound. Some good Harmons deals this week. Stock up time!

Smith's Motrin Deal

What is fun about coupons is buying bulk high value coupons and waiting for them to show the great deal. So, I found out this week that I could finally use my $6 off of 2 Motrin (found in 1/9 Smartsource---Sunday paper coupons) coupons. (these high value coupons expire 3/31---so we were getting close to it ending.)  Smiths had an unadvertised buy 10 and they will be $2.50 each deal on the Motrin. Meaning, I make $1 off two bottles. Well, I bought 22. The checker was a little funny, she stopped taking coupons when we got to -22 cents. But hey, I will take it. I bought 22 bottles (20 count Motrin), 7 Philadelphia Cooking Cream cheeses (with $1.50 off coupon, making them 50 cents each---but free for me because of Motrin) and 3 Anytizer Appetizers (chicken wings).

So, feel free to come by if you are wanting some Motrin PM. Maybe they will be neighbor gifts next Christmas....ha-ha.

Good deal with getting back about 22 cents. Can't complain. I also have a beer rebate that will give me back $4 or $5 on the chicken wings.

So, just an FYI. You may not drink alcohol, but in Utah, and many other states, they cannot require you to buy alcohol in their rebates. So, you have to buy snack foods, shrimp, etc and you can get the rebate. Last night I took advantage of a shrimp rebate. You have to purchase $25.01 in shrimp and they will give you $15 back. We eat a lot of shrimp around here, so that is a good one.

Beer Rebate Tip: If you go to Pinching your Pennies, Utah Forums, check out the beer rebate trading board. There are many people willing to send you a rebate if you send them a self addressed stamped envelope (SASE). Just yesterday I received in the mail about 10-12 beer rebates from a sweet lady who sent me one of each. So, lots of free food on the beer companies. Thank you!!!! (Often they state only one rebate per household or person. So you only need one anyway.)

Secret Clinical Strength

There is a high value coupon for secret clinical strength. $2 off of 1. So, when you find a Secret deoderant paired with a sample of the Secret Clinical Strength, on the endcaps of the Walmart, for $2.50....what is a girl to do? Well, it is time to pull out those 40 coupons, and go crazy. $20 later, you have a LOT of deoderant. We should smell great for a while around here:)

50 cents for a Secret Fresh Effects Deoderant and the .5 oz of Clinical Strength secret. Sweet. Stocked up.
Go look at your local Walmart!

So, do I need 160 packages of Mentos?

No, but yeah, that is the name of this blog. Stockpile. It's all about the stockpile. And that is divided between two flavors.....(justification). See, I am at least aware of some of my thinking errors.

The other good news: not so hard to store those little buggers. Didn't have to go clearing out the pantry for this haul.

The Walmart was really niceabout my price-match with the Rite Aid ad. Sweet.

Do I Really Need this Much.........

Purex?

Well, maybe not, but when it ends up being nearly free......why not?

You have to be willing to take chances sometimes. And hey, I prefer couponing to Vegas....so........sometimes I enjoy taking some coupon gambles.....

Luckily for me, this gamble paid off.

The $3/1 coupon was for Purex with Zout. I didn't know if I would be able to find this exact product or not. Luckily for me, this coupon worked for any type of the Purex. And has worked at all the stores I have gone to; Walmart and Smith's.

I bought 60 coupons of Purex online.  They cost me $5.50 for 20 coupons. So, I spent a total of about $18.00 with shipping.

For that $18.00 I got 60 (50 oz) bottles of Purex.  The coupons stated they were for Purex with Zout, which cannot hardly be found. So, I tried my coupon for any variety of the Purex. It worked. It worked at the Walmart ; where Purex was listed for $2.98.  It also worked at the Smith's where some Purex was on Clearance for $2.19. I bought 21 there, so I was able to spend about $16 on other groceries for free. I was so thrilled at that receipt.

I came out of the Smith's having spent $6.13.

For that $6.13 I was able to buy:

21 (50 oz) Purex
Buitoni Fresh Pasta (had downloaded a free coupon from Smith's online couponing)
Whipped Cream
Welch's Grape Juice
1 lime
1 kiwi
12 glazed donuts
2 white onions
1 head of lettuce
2 bunches of cilantro
12 Pack of Charmin (used $3 off online coupon from Smith's)

Sweet!
I love coupons.

I also used many of my $1 off coupons last week, to get the Purex for $1.18 each.  So, now I have over 70 bottles of Purex. And with my five kids, we will be using that. I love Purex. It smells so good, and that smell seems to last a bit longer than I have noticed with other laundry detergents. One more reason to love couponing.

So, at the end of the day, because of my free groceries that my Purex bought me, I really only spent about $2 on the coupons....and got 60 Purex for free. Sweet.

Coupon Fun

I have become a coupon fiend in the last six months. I love to find a freebie and then clear the shelves. I love to find a years supply of a favorite item, and stock up. In the last six months or so, I have stockpiled on the following items:

FINISH (dishwasher detergent)

NIVEA (body wash---Mens and Womens)

NIVEA (lip balm)

YAKISOBA

MANWICH

CAMPBELLS SOUP

PUREX (laundry detergent)

HERBAL ESSENCE shampoo

BIZ (laundry soap)

One of the benefits of couponing is finding new brands that I REALLY love.  I now LOVE Purex, Finish, Nivea, Biz....whereas in the past I would have never known how great these products are.

So, I will keep enjoying my coupon craziness and my stockpiling. Keep posted and I will let you know what my latest great deal is.
