Hello fellow penny pinchers,
I'll start off by saying coupons are ESSENTIAL! You can print them, buy them, get them out of the paper, recycle dive (yes I've done it) anything...just start clipping! You will save hundreds if not thousands of dollars on groceries, household goods, clothing etc.
This blog will contain deals from local grocery stores, department stores, even online deals. I either find them myself or with your help as you send me deals you find.

Bargain Mart

I know I mentioned this store briefly a few posts before but I dont feel like I did it justice. I wanted to talk a little more about this Bargain Mart Dicscount Grocery off of Florentine and Navajo.

This store is super awesome! They get groceries and household items from stores locally at reduced prices because the "best by" (not expired) date has passed, or they are "dinged" up.



They have everything you could need. 80% of the time the prices are amazing, sometimes with coupons I know I can get it cheaper at the grocery store.





Here are some examples:

They get bread from the bread delivery guy every Tuesday and re-sell it for $.95 a loaf. This is the good stuff people, not just generic. They have rolls, buns...everything for $.95.



Right now they are selling their Gerber Graduates & other baby foods for $.50 (or less) a piece. Gerber fruit snacks, fruit leather, dinners, baby cereal, baby food ($.30) and juice ($.25).



Today I got canned vegetables and Cream of Chicken soup for $.40 and less. I also got a 9 pack of kids Motts apple juice boxes for $.60. 8pk Organic strawberry cereal bars for toddler for $.50.



They have snacks, granola bars, pop tarts etc. for below what you can get them at regular stores.

Anyway its worth your time to check out!!

Winter Clothing Clearance

Our local JC Penney & Childrens Place at the mall are having some GREAT winter sales.

JC Penney had several racks for 75% off including Nike winter jackets for $20.00. Most of their clothing was between $2-5.
I spent $8.30 and saved $32.00

The Childrens Place is the jackpot. For big kids ALL their winter clothing was $3.99 a piece. Pants, sweaters, shirts, shoes, hats, mittens...all of it. $3.99
For the little ones it was all $2.99 a piece.
Their large winter jackets were $9.99. The only sizes they had were 24mo and below and 7/8 and above so I totally missed out on that one.
I spent $50.84 and saved $153.00.
They said this sale wont make it to this weekend and things were flying off the shelves. So get there soon and shop for next year.

Old Navy

Our local Old Navy is currently offering an additional 50% off their already clearance prices.
I went there today and stocked up next winters clothes for the kiddos (saving tip #2...shop a year ahead.)
The baby section was not worth it. The toddler girl & boy was okay (didn't find anything for 18-24mo but the girls section was okay.) Older boys section was GREAT! They had a ton of long sleeved shirts for about $3.50 a piece. Pull overs for the same price. They had nice church sweaters, some pants. The big girl section was worth checking but not as good as the boys. And of course the adult section is always stocked.
Happy Shopping!

Hobby Lobby

Right now Hobby Lobby is offering their Christmas items for 90% off.

ALSO their Simplicity patterns are all $.99

ALSO they have a couple isles that are 66% off of their home decor.

SwagBucks

If you've noticed the side bar or bottom of my page you will have seen something called SwagBucks.

Curious?!

Well SwagBucks is an online search engine that pays you for searching.
Not in real money of course, but digital dollars which then can be redeemed for gift cards and other neat stuff.

For example I have 87 swag bucks. So far that gives me enough for a $10 gift card to Amazon. I've only done this for about 2 weeks.

Amazing?...I'd like to think so.

If you refer someone, you get 1 swag buck for every one they earn.

I will provide their link (HERE) and also some FAQ link (HERE). Check it out.

FRYS Case Sale

This week Frys is having their case sale again. They do this about once a quarter. These are great for food storage! So get there and stock up.
So far the only coupon that I could use was for their Skippy Peanut Butter which made it $.50 a jar instead of $1.49

Wednesday Freebie

Target has their Johnson & Johnson First Aid to Go for $1.00.
Combine that with a RP coupon from 1/3 insert of $1/1
FP: FREE

These would be great for 72 hour kits or monthly/yearly food living storage. This is also a good reason to stock pile coupons so that you can get more than one.
