Woo-Hoo~got some good deals today!
I went to Target and found Velveeta Shells and Cheese(2%variety)for only $1.00/box! Normally $2.49! We haven't tried this kind yet, my boys LOVE the regular kind, so we shall see!
Then to Walgreens; here's what I bought:
Brita slim pitcher, 3 packages paper plates, Viva 6-roll pack, 2 18oz Skippy peanut butter, 3 Scotch mailing envelopes(I sell on e-bay and use PaperbackSwap-always get these when on sale!)2 large pkg peanut butter M&Ms, 4 full-size packages Keebler cookies and a 8x10 collage picture from a free offer earlier this week. Total before coupons $63.43, total I paid $30.49 plus I got $6.00 in register rewards for next time, so net out-of-pocket was $24.49. Pretty good trip :)
Like I have said before, I am not an Extreme Couponer, just a normal person with a normal life,trying to find some great deals!
Hope you can find some, too!

Week-end finds!
Let's see how this works out....I will blog about the deals I found in the paper, before I go and get them!!
Yesterday was not a good bargain-hunting day~I went to Fareway and only used 2 coupons(VERY unusual for me!) I did only get the necessities and on-sale items, so I stayed under my weekly grocery budget of $100, but bummed I only used $2.00 worth of coupons! My trip to Target was uneventful, too, as I had to buy a calculator for Zach~YIKES~we never had calculators worth $125!!! Thankfully, it was on sale for $95 and using my Target debit card, I saved another 5%, but STILL!! On a side note, getting a Target debit card (or credit) is a VERY easy way to save 5% on EVERY Target purchase~I highly recommend it! Plus, take your own bags in and get 5 cents off for each one used.
So today, in the Walgreen's ad, you can find some deals:
1) Viva paper towels 6 pack on sale for 5.99, less $1.00 in store coupon and if you get All-You magazine, there is a $2.00 coupon in this month's issue and you can use both in one transaction .
2)There are also quite a few items with register rewards, so it makes them very cheap~even better if you have coupons for these items: Dial NutriSkin body Wash $3.99 w/$3.00 reward, Colgate Sensitive toothbrush or toothpaste $4.99 w/$.400 reward, Cheese-its, Keebler cookies, rice krispie treats on sale for 4/$10 with $5.00 reward, plus use 2 Keebler coupons for last week ($1.00 off 2) =4/$3.00, M&M's 2/$5.00,with $1.00 reward minus coupon from today's paper($1.50)=2/$2.50
TARGET :
Only great deal for me this week-Buy 3 Nabisco multi-packs or Capri sun 20 packsfor $3.99, get one free-Great time to stock up for all those football,/soccer snacks!
That's all for today~after I take Zach to work, I will go to these stores and see if everything rings up like it should! And maybe find some other GREAT deals to tell you about!

Time to get back into a routine.....
No~I haven't disappeared, but the last 6 weeks has not been much fun~I have seen 3 different dentists and STILL not taken care of! So...it's been hard to get into finding bargains with my mouth constantly hurting!
BUT~I have been looking at this week's grocery ads and here are some of the AMES area bargains I have found:
DAHLS:(still not my top store, but they do have a few things!) A tip~if you go around 9:00 in the morning, you will see a lot of meat that has just been marked down, I routinely buy steaks for about $1.00/each and throw them in the freezer! I wish they would mark down hamburger, but so far, I haven't been able to find any! In their ad this week: NOT MUCH! On Friday 8/19, they have 13% off everything in the meat department, so look through your coupons for lunchmeat, hotdogs and their marked down meat!
HY-VEE: They have a 2-day sale going on through today~bananas 39 cents/lb, their brand of cottage cheese@.99 (not AE, darn it!) Also, 10% off all frozen food, which includes sale items. Theyhave their brandof steam fresh veggies for .69/bag and we like these just as much as
Birdseye and Green Giant~so thats a really good deal!
FAREWAY: Not any spectacular deals this week, kinda bummed!!
I will get on this and get Walgreen's dealsposted for next week as soon as I can~they are usually full of them!!!
Happy shopping!!
