Where Every Penny Counts
Monday, October 26th, participating KFC locations will be offering customers the opportunity to try free KFC Grilled chicken. No coupon needed! Click here for the details.
Here’s the fine print: Free piece selection at manager’s choice and may vary by location. Valid at participating locations. Limit one free piece per person.
Here are the highlights from the Target ad (plus other in store deals) this week. At Target, you can use one Target coupon and one manufacturer’s coupon per item. The printable Target coupons now state “one per transaction” meaning you can only use one “like” coupon per transaction. You can read/print their coupon policy here.
I highlighted the “hottest” deals in red.

It’s Saturday which means that you can buy the “Sunday” paper with the coupon inserts and which also means that coupons are already available online!
The “hottest” coupon this week is the “Up to $30 off any Bayer Contour or Breeze 2 monitor” coupon.
If you’re new to all of this coupon stuff, I know what you’re probably thinking. “This lady is nuts. I don’t need that. Why would I want to pay money for those coupons? I always throw those coupons away.”
For whatever reason, these monitors are often part of ECB and RR earning deals at CVS and Walgreens. In fact, there will be a deal at Walgreens next week where you get $5 in RR if you “buy” 2 monitors. The monitors are often on sale during these deals making them free after the coupon.
This is how I got my “start” at CVS a few years ago.
So, if you’re wondering if it’s worth it to invest $10 in 10 coupons (which is about the “average” they are going for right now on ebay and through coupon clipping services – they will be hard to find and be going for MUCH more down the road as deals come up), I would say it is because you will likely be able to “make” $50 in ECBs or RR in upcoming deals.
Right now, The Coupon Clippers still has over 700 of these coupons available. I have ordered from them many times in the past and their turn around time is pretty quick (of course I’m in Texas and they are in Florida so part of that is probably proximity).
Some of you may be wondering why I don’t just buy 10 papers. A weekend edition of the paper in my area is $1.75. I know that you can get them for $.99-$1 at some “dollar stores” but to be honest, I wasn’t really that impressed with any of the other coupons in this week’s inserts. I get one paper delivered, and I don’t need 10 additional full inserts hanging out around my house (I’m guessing my husband wouldn’t appreciate it that much, either).
If you’re looking for ways to “use” those glucose monitors because you don’t have a need for them yourself, there are some ideas in this post here.

Some helpful tips:
*At Walgreens, you cannot do a promotion more than once in a transaction and earn Register Rewards. So, if you buy more than 1 Halls cough drops this week, you will not earn more than 1 RR. You will only get $1.
*You also cannot use the Register Rewards earned from a promotion on the same promotion and earn Register Rewards again. For example, if you buy Halls cough drops, get a $1 RR and use it to buy another Halls cough drops, another RR will not print.
*Typically, you cannot use the Register Rewards earned from a promotion with the same manufacturer and earn Register Rewards again. For example, you cannot buy a Vaseline lotion and use the RR from the promotion to buy another Vaseline lotion because your RR will not print.
Here is information on the manufacturers for this week’s RR (thanks HCW!):
Vaseline = Unilever
Emergen C = Alacer
Chapstick = Wyeth
Robitussin = Wyeth
*Register Rewards are considered to be “manufacturer’s coupons” and you can only use one manufacturer’s coupon per item. You will have to add “filler” items. The in ad coupons often have good, inexpensive filler items. (this week, my favorite fillers are the Royal gelatin and the ACT II popcorn)
*If you are buying items that would result in a “free” item or “overage” when combining a store coupon and a manufacturer’s coupon, give the manufacturer’s coupon FIRST, and the store coupons LAST to avoid beeping/issues at the register! Make sure that you are purchasing enough items in your total transaction to “cover” the overage. You will not get cash back and you will have to add items to cover the overage or they will not take the coupon.
*If your Register Reward doesn’t print for some reason and you have fulfilled all of the obligations for the “deal” (including not using RR from the same parent company to pay) DO NOT let them tell you it is because you used coupons! Chances are they didn’t print because the catalina machine is not working. You have two choices: you can return your items and try again or you can contact the catalina company by doing the following:
*The store will give you a form to fill out and mail in to catalina
*Call 1-888-8coupon, option 3
*Use the online form to contact them: Contact Catalina Marketing (when I have tried contacting them this way, my results have not been very good….your best bet is to call)

I have highlighted MyPoints.com before in a “My Favorite Things” post. I joined this site about 5 years ago. It’s a quick and easy way to earn gift cards and I usually cash out every few months for a new one. You earn points for reading e-mails and taking advantage of different offers.
One of the greatest things about MyPoints is that you can print coupons from their site and then earn points when you redeem them! I have been using more printable coupons lately than insert coupons, so this has been a definite bonus for me!
You can redeem your points for a variety of gift cards. Here are some of the choices: (these are just a few of the options – there are over 75 merchants to choose from!)
