Get your 3/21 insert coupons now!

If you’re wanting to start a stockpile or are working on building your stockpile, getting multiple coupons to match up with hot sales is the key.  I’ve also learned that you have to jump on the coupons right when they come out because they go quickly these days.

My Coupon Hunter has posted the coupons that will be in the 3/21 inserts, so you can get them now!  There will be two inserts in this Sunday’s paper ~ one Red Plum and one Smartsource.

Here are some codes you can use on the site as well:

HOT – 10% off orders over $5
SHIP – Free shipping on orders over $5 (you can combine this with the code above)
TEN – 10% off orders over $5
PRIORITY – Free shipping on orders over $15

Here are the “hot” coupons I see this week:

RED PLUM

$.50/1 Crest toothpaste or liquid gel – expires 4/30/10 – you should be able to use this on the Crest toothpaste that is $1.49 at Target making it free when you combine the store and manufacturer’s coupon!

$1/2 Hillshire Farm smoked sausage – expires 4/17/10 – these are BOGO free at Kroger this week


$.25/1 Keebler Ready Crust Pie Crust – expires 5/16/10 – if your grocery stores triple, you can get cheap pie crust!

SMARTSOURCE

$.50/1 Birds Eye Steamfresh Vegetables – expires 4/17/10 – these go 10/$10 frequently, making them free if your grocery stores double coupons! (make sure you get the one that says “STEAMFRESH” because there is also a “regular” Birds Eye coupon that excludes the Steamfresh)

$.30/1 French’s Classic Mustard – expires 5/31/10 – if your grocery stores triple, these go 10/$10 pretty often, s you should be able to get them for $.10

$1/1 Ore Ida Hash Browns – expires 4/18/10 – there are lots of great sales on these right now since it’s frozen food month! (The Target buy 2, get 1 free deal will continue through 4/2, I believe, so you should be able to get 3 bags for $3!)

$1/1 Oscar Mayer Lunchables – expires 5/16/10 – these go 10/$10 often, which could potentially mean free Lunchables!

$1/1 Rayovac Alkaline or Hearing Aid Batteries – expires 5/21/10 – you can often find these in the “Dollar Spot” at Target, so they are free after coupon!


$.40/3 Swanson broth – look for deals on chicken broth as we get closer to Easter – if your grocery stores double or triple coupons, the deals will be even better!

Savings Saturday: A round up of my most recent shopping trips

I have to admit that lately I’ve been in a bit of a shopping slump – I haven’t had the energy to go out and “fight for my deals” which is what I often feel like I have to do because there are so many couponers in the area where I live.  Plus, there are so many people who don’t use coupons correctly that cashiers seem to be instantly suspicious of anyone using coupons.  This week, I did get out and do a few deals.  Here’s the breakdown of my shopping trips from yesterday:

TARGETspent $5.79 OOP, saved $134.81, earned $15 in Target gift cards (check out my weekly Target match-ups for details on some of these deals)

Hot deal on Toy Story 1 and 2 movies!

Toy Story 1 and 2 will be re-released in a DVD/Blu Ray combo pack on Tuesday, March 23rd.  There are some awesome deals on this, particularly if you have the original versions and are “upgrading.” 

If you have purchased Toy Story 1 and 2 previously on DVD or VHS, make sure go to your Disney Movie Rewards account (or create one if you haven’t previously) and enter your UPCs into the “code” box on the right hand side of the pageAfter you enter each UPC, you will receive a link to print a $10 off coupon for your DVD/Blu Ray combo pack upgrade.

So far, the best price I have seen from ad scans is going to be at Toys ‘R Us.   Here’s the breakdown:

Buy Toy Story 1 Blu Ray/DVD Combo pack – $21.99
Buy Toy Story 2 Blu Ray/DVD Combo pack – $21.99

Receive an instant $10 promotional store discount for buying both movies
Use your $10 printable Toy Story 1 Upgrade coupon
Use your $10 printable Toy Story 2 Upgrade coupon

Spend $13.98 out of pocket ($7.99 per movie!)

The deal gets even better.  Once you have your movies, enter the “Magic Code” that is inside your box, and you’ll get a FREE Toy Story 3 movie ticket!

So, you end up with two movies and two movie tickets for $13.98! 

The movie will be priced at $22.99 at Target, so you’ll pay $15.98 for both movies there.

If you don’t have the $10 upgrade coupons, you can still get a decent deal on both movies.  Here’s the breakdown: (if you shop at Toys ‘R Us)

Buy Toy Story 1 Blu Ray/DVD combo pack – $21.99
Buy Toy Story 2 Blu Ray/DVD combo pack – $21.99
