Please read before doing your Albertsons' deals

So, Albertsons is REAL HOT this week! Right?! I just call a phone call regarding Albertsons at Liberty Lake. They are MORE THAN HAPPY TO WORK WITH US!!! YAY! But, they would REALLY REALLY like a heads up on what we are looking at. They are SOOOOO very excited about this deal, just as we are, and they really want to have EVERYTHING in stock that we want. So, they are asking that we call them by Friday (Friday is when they are going to put an order in) and let them know what we are going to get. That way they have it for us when we go in with our "doublers."

Go ahead and call Corey or Jared, or one of the other managers, and put your oders in..... Here is the phone number 924-2374. Jared is actually the manager in today. So, go ahead and give them a call. They are waiting for us! Yay!

They even said that they would open a register JUST FOR US!!! HOW COOL IS THAT?!

Again, the phone number is 924-2374.

Thanks!

Cheryl

**Reminder**

I know I just posted a reminder earlier this week, but I just got off the phone with one of the managers out at Liberty Lake Albertsons and he desperately needs all of "our" stuff from the previous ConAgra deal to be picked up ASAP. They REALLY REALLY need the space for all of the holiday items and whatnot. So, if you haven't picked your orders up or maybe you don't even want them, if you could just please let them know. This is one of those times where we need to keep our end of the "bargain." I really really like the relationship that we have going with them, as I'm sure you do too.:) They have bent over backwards for us to get our deals, so let's get our stuff picked up or at least communicate with them on what we want. SOOOOOO, we can go get some more stuff .......................

Here is their phone number if you need it......924-2374

Are you ready to get your shopping on? I know I am. I am a bit exhausted, but I'm ready. :)

Thanks everyone!

**Giveaway** Fiber One AND $25 Gift Card to Safeway

Oh, how I LOVE giveaways! Well, I was provided the opportunity to review and host a giveaway through MyBlogSpark from Fiber One. I received a gift card, VIP coupons, and product information from them too! Mad thanks to them!

Have you ever tried the Fiber One Products? Wow, they are soooo very yummy. Many of you know that I am a Weight Watcher and "try" to watch what I eat. Well, let me tell you I LOVE Fiber One. I use the cereal to cook/bake with, and I use the Fiber One Bars (chocolate and carmel are my favorites) to get through a sweet craving. Oh, they are sooooo good. A trick that I use to make them last, so that they are not gone in two bites is to put the bars in the freezer and then you HAVE to eat them slowly. :) It works! Plus, they have FIBER!! ;)

Well, how would YOU like to win some VIP coupons AND a $25 GIFT CARD to Safeway or (Dominick's Tom Thumb, Randalls, Vons and Genuardi's)? Well, here's your chance! When you win this, YOU can go get your very own Fiber One! Yay!

I have multiple ways you can enter this contest. You can (with all of the enteries you need to leave your e-mail so I know how to contact you when you win) do the following:

1)  Become a follower of my blog and let me know.
2)  Subscribe to my blog and let me know.
3)  Share a fun, "frugal" holiday tip, advice, craft, recipe (you name it as long as it is holiday-related). I need some serious help here. :)
4)  Let me know what kind of Fiber One you like or which one you would like to try.
5)  Weight loss tip for the holidays (or any tip/recipe/idea).

I am opening up this giveaway now and I will not close it until Sunday, November 14, at 6 pm. I will announce the winner Monday morning. Hopefully, this will give it enough time to get to you by Thanksgiving. I will announce the winner and the winner will have 24 hours to get back to me or I will be forced to pick another winner. :(

Okay, so here's to having some fun trying to get some FREE Fiber One and $25!

Good luck to you all and I look forward to hearing from you. :)

-doubler
=FREE or with $0.10 overage!

I would just like to say that "for today," :) I have the best husband! I have a busy day ahead of me and quite a few doublers to burn through, so I sent him with ALL of my doublers and he went and did three transactions this morning of JUST tuna (I ordered a bunch of coupons a while back). He got them all nine of them FOR FREE!!

Then, he is going tonight and doing two more transactions for some frozen veggies THAT WILL BE FREE TOO!

Wow, I sure am lucky!

Thanks for listening and good luck with those doublers!

Cheryl

P.S. Okay, so now I am running super late and I really am done for a while! :)

Make sure you use up your "doublers" today. I can't believe we are getting more doublers this weekend! THAT IS AWESOME!!!

Thanks!

Albertsons Orders from ConAgra Deal Are In

So, if you got your deals on at Northwest Blvd Albertsons or the Liberty Lake Alberstons, please know that your orders are in! If you would go and pick them up or even call them and let them know if you even still want them. I'm sure we could work something out and get them donated if you would rather not want the product (all that soup).

It is just that they were soooooooo kind to all of us during the ConAgra deal, I sure would hate to dissappoint them. We definitely want to keep a good relationship with these two stores, so they keep being coupon friendly. :) They really want us to get our stuff out of there, because they DESPARATELY need the storage space for the holidays. So, let's keep our AWESOME relationships with these two stores and get our product!

Please let me know if I can do anything to help!

Thanks!

Monday Weigh-In Report

Okay, so I have to admit that I "forgot" to report last week. I really did. Then, I remembered and then "forgot" again. I actually didn't go to WW on Halloween. I didn't want to face the facts. I almost didn't go yesterday, 'cause I just knew that I was up.

Well, I had a hard time committing to "running" all week. I got in 2-1/2 runs, which is better than nothing, but not the four that I have been committing too. :( It was really busy AGAIN over here!

We wound up taking Sadie to the vet ALREADY! They said that she has kennel cough so they put her on an antihistamine as well as the antibiotic that she is already taking because when they went to spay her (she had already been spayed), so instead they pulled some teeth. Well, I'm glad to report she is feeling better. She is her spunky self again. She is just SOOOOOOO cute. So, we have been trying to adjust to life with a little furry friend. She definitely does not like being by herself. I feel really sorry for her when I can't take her with me. :( I can't imagine what she must think, especially after being dropped off at the shelter for a week. I feel bad for her, but very happy that we were the lucky ones that ended up with her. Not only is she sooooo very cute, she is VERY sweet. She is AWESOME with our kids and she is 8 yrs old! I have never owned a "little" dog before, so I find it kind of funny that we have to put sweaters on her because she gets cold easy. Anyway, I feel like I can't come and go as I please now, so I am having a hard time with that. I get to go volunteer today and I am already worried about what to do with her. I don't really want to leave her out as the last time I did SHE PEEED! My husband says that I should. I dunno.

Anyway, so I weighed in yesterday! As I am getting on the scale I'm telling "my" leader that I am not expecting a loss 'cause my pants are feeling tighter and I JUST feel uncomfortable. I am just complaining away and she says......................................"well,..............................YOU ARE DOWN."  WHAT?!!!! I'M DOWN?!!!! Yep, "down 0.8." I'LL TAKE IT!!! So, I guess now I just need to complain before I get on that scale and hope that I am down!!!

So, I have been kind of worried because "the plan" is changing AGAIN! I am not real good about it when "plan changes." I have a hard time with change! So, I have been a bit worried about it. Whenever there is change the leaders are always so excited about it, and they always say how great is it (of course, they represent WW). But, I have a "feeling" that THIS change is going to be AWESOME!!! I don't know, but I have a GOOD feeling about it. Maybe it will help me get out of my rut! :)

Okay, so now I best get to the treadmill now before I go get "ready."

Okay, have a GREAT day!

Rite Aid

FYI-I was in Rite Aid yesterday and their Halloween clearance was at 90% OFF!!! Candy was 75% OFF!!! Use coupons from the new Safeway book for $0.55/1 Butterfinger or Nestle crunch fun size bars and that makes the bag only $0.45! Use the printables that were available a while ago, for $1/2, and that makes the bags $0.50 each!! Many of the Halloween items were items that you can use to decorate for Thanksgiving too! I left a few things for you all. ;) I'm kidding, there was plenty left yesterday morning. Just on the decorations, we spent $13! That would have been $130!!! WOW!!!

I did manage to get my candy for free! I think I am stocked up for the year now. If I can get my camera to work, I will take a picture of all of our goodies later and post this evening. :)

Thanks!

**Hot At Albertsons!!!

So, today I took myself and my little ol' family and we WENT SHOPPING at Albertsons. Yes, we went out to Liberty Lake. I'm tellin' you, if you have coupons and have lots of them or live in the valley, GO TO LIBERTY LAKE ALBERTSONS!! THEY ARE SOOOOOO AWESOME OUT THERE!! I spoke with one of the managers today and he was SOOOOOOOO NICE!! He REALLY REALLY wants our business. If you have a big order, just let them know ahead of time and they will open another cash register JUST for you! So, no one has to wait in line behind you. LET ME TELL YOU, IT IS SOOOOO NICE. :)

Okay, my camera is BROKE, but here are a couple of things that I got. These were with using the coupons out of the Safeway coupon book.

Swiss Miss Hot Chocolate (you know, 'cause my previous 40 boxes were not enough) $1.00
-$1/1 from "the" book
=FREE!!!

Green Giant Veggies (These are part of the buy 10 save $5) $0.39 when you buy 10 of the promotion, $1.56
-$1/4 from "the" book

Sierra Mist  (These are part of the buy 10 save $5) $0.79 when you buy 10 of the promotion

=$0.21 overage to use for something else!

We went today and without coupons and savings we would have spent $200. We only spent $18 OOP and I got ANOTHER $5 reward!!!

I really am going to use the hot chocolate either for Christmas gifts for my daughter's class and something for my son's class too.

Okay, good luck and happy shopping!
