Albertsons Trip Today

So, I went out to my FAVORITE Albertsons today to get some oatmeal. I ONLY did one transaction. Here is what I got...

These are on sale, ONLY through the end of today when you buy 5 they are $1.90 each.

Oatmeal $1.90 X5
-$1/1 from recent insert X5
-$0.50 Catalina from previous purchase
=$4, making them JUST $0.80 each! Not too shabby. Now, we are set in the oatmeal department for quite a while. :)

Plus, I got back a $3 Catalina to use on my next purchase (here I come peanut butter).

Hey, I also wanted to give you a heads up that if you are out in Liberty Lake and have some Betty Crocker fruit snack coupons, that they have a bunch on clearance in the back 10 for $10 (thanks Tammy), PLUS the Catalina is still running on these. So, if you missed out on the sale at Safeway a few weeks ago, here's your chance.

Buy 5 or more and get a $3 Catalina back.

Thanks!

My Safeway Trip

Well, I headed on over to Safeway to see if I could gather up any coupon books, since the peanut butter is going to be on sale tomorrow at Albertsons. Here is what I came away with...

So, I had to hop on this. I bought SOOOOO much chicken a couple of weeks ago that we have chicken coming out of our ears. So, I saw this and was EXCITED. Before, I put my Club Card in THIS WAS UP TO $70!!!! But, afterwards, I paid ONLY $21.51!!! My savings was $49.98 for 20 pounds of pork!!!

I'm not sure what the deal was, but I got this out at Liberty Lake. I don't know if it is a sale that ends today or if it was only at this store, but if you are in the area go check it out if you are in need of some meat.

Look, it was ONLY $0.99 a pound!!

Okay, good luck!

Rite Aid Shopping Trip

Well, we weren't going to go shopping today, and I have been trying REALLY hard to stay away from the Albertsons Quaker sale, but I couldn't help myself anymore. So, we headed out to Rite Aid first and this is what we came away with....

I know, I know WAYYYYY too much candy! I had the coupons and it goes towards the Buy&Save, so I picked a "few" up.

Transaction #1

Light bulbs $1.99 X3 (I'm telling you, we go through these like crazy)

no coupon

= $5.97

10 candybars 2 for $1

-B1G1 Free coupon from recent insert (I can't remember) X5

= $2.50

- (2) $1 Wellness VV coupons

-$6 +Up Rewards

TOOP was $0.47, plus $0.25 tax. I was a bit bummed because I did NOT get the $1.99 +Up Reward that I was supposed to get for the lightbulbs, because I had already bought them this week. So, just be careful as there is a limit on these +UP Rewards.

Transaction #2

Candybar 2 for $1 X10

-B1G1 free X5

=$2.50

Revlon Beauty Nail Clipper $1.45

-$1/1 printable (NLA)

=$0.45

Revlon Emery Boards $1.25

-B1G1 50%

-$1/1 printable (NLA)

=FREE

-(1) Wellness coupon

TOOP was $1.57, plus$0.07 tax. Now I have $16 towards my Winter Rewards. :)

Thanks!

Albertsons=CHEAP Peanut Butter Starting Tomorrow 1/26

I don't know about you, but I am SUPER excited about this. Starting tomorrow, Albertsons will have Skippy Peanut butter for $1.50. They have an in-ad coupon that makes them 2 for $2 OR you can do this....

Skippy Peanut Butter (I sure hope they have reduced fat on sale) $1.50
-$1/1 from Safeway coupon book
=$0.50 each!!

I have bought peanut for less than this, but I'm NOT waiting around for that. We are Skippy snobs here, at our house. So, for me, this is definitely a stock-up price.

Good luck!

Recipe=Crustless Apple Pie in a Cup

I can't remember where I got this recipe from, but it is not my own. Anyway, for all you WW out there it is FREE in points and tastes oh soooo good.

1-Apple
Splenda-Enough to your liking
Cinnamon-Enough to your liking
FF Cool Whip-1 dollop

Peel and core your apple. Dice your apple up in bite size pieces. Place all of this in a cup.

Cook in the microwave until the apple gets a little soft. I did about 2 minutes. Take it out of the microwave and add Splenda (I used 3 to 4 teaspoons, but I like REALLY sweet stuff), and add some cinnamon.

Stir it up and add a dollop of FF Cool Whip on top.

This is soooooo good and it is just like an apple pie, JUST without the crust. AND very good on the calorie budget!

Enjoy!

Monday Weigh-In Report

Well....I did go weigh-in yesterday and met with Mr. Scale. He was good to me again. I lost 1 pound. Now, initially, I was pretty happy, but then after taking a bit and letting it sink in I was pretty ticked. ONLY 1 POUND! Now, I know I am not supposed to complain, but I WORKED MY BUTT OFF LAST WEEK! I did all of my C25K training! I ate good too. I know, a loss is a loss AND I AM greatful now, but I guess I was a little sad that it was only 1 pound, but I guess as long as I keep going the right direction of DOWN, then it's okay. So, again, I am going to do more C25K training this week and eat EVEN better. Hopefully, I will be down when I see him again on Sunday.

Oh, I found an super duper easy recipe and it is sooooooo good too. I made it twice yesterday as I was having quite the sweet tooth. I am going to do a separate post about it. I think if you try it, you will like it. I think the kiddos would like it too.

Anyway, I wish you well on your journey this week and hope you stay on track. I sure am gonna try REAL HARD!

Okay, here's to a good week......

My Rite Aid Shopping Trip Today

I did manage to go and do two different transactions at two different stores today. I went on my way to Weight Watchers and I went after my meeting too.

So, here's what I managed to scoop up today.....

Store #1 and #2

GE Extra Soft Light Bulbs $1.99 X3
no coupons (I tried getting on http://www.riteaid.com/ to print out the light bulb coupon to see if we could use it with this, but I could not get on the site this morning)
= $5.97

-$5 in +UP Rewards from previous purchases (it wouldn't take my last +UP, so I had to pay)

TOOP was $0.97, plus $0.52 tax. A little more than I wanted to pay OOP, but still not too shabby. Plus, we are always in need of light bulbs around here. Then, I got back (3) $1.99 +UP Rewards, one for each light bulb package purchased and these do NOT expire until 2/11/11.

Okay, so the new Winter Rewards started today. So, now everything that you purchase that is part of the Buy&Save will go towards your new Winter Rewards (you purchase $100 in these select Buy&Save products and you will get a $20 +UP Reward on your receipt. This starts today and goes until February 26th).

One thing I cannot figure out is why after both of my purchases, which qualify for the Buy&Save, I only have $0.06 towards my Winter Reward Total. Anyone have a clue?

Anyway, so, just FYI these are part of the Buy&Save and make sure you watch your receipt. Maybe yours will be different.

Oh, also, Argonne and Mission had some lightbulbs left and they had a limit of three. Pines and Sprague had quite a few bulbs and they had a limit of six.

Good luck and have fun.

Thanks!

New Automatic Instant Personalization Settings On Facebook-Enabled

Today, the new FaceBook Privacy setting called “instant personalization” goes into effect.

The new setting shares your data with non-FaceBook sites and it is automatically set to ‘enabled.’
To fix this go to Account> Privacy settings> Apps and Websites> Instant Personalization> edit settings and UNCHECK “enable.”
Right when you click on Instant Personalization edit settings – a video pops up and looks like you are in the wrong spot, scroll down under it…
Oh, by the way..... if your friends don’t do this, they will be sharing info about you as well.

Thanks A Thrifty Mom!

Cheryl

FYI-I just did this on my personal page and it was very easy and did not take that long.
