The Princess & the Frog DVD- $10 off Coupon
March 11, 2010

Next Tuesday, March 16th is the day that The Princess and the Frog movie is being released to stores! There is now a $10 off coupon good for the Deluxe DVD/Blu-Ray combo. There is a coupon for US only and a coupon for Canada only (make sure to print off the correct one). Target will have the deluxe Blu-Ray version priced at $26.99 (including an exclusive Princess Tiana purse). I haven’t heard yet how much it will cost at Walmart, but it should be similar in price (and they most likely will have an exclusive item as well, although we don’t know what that will be yet).
There are also 2 mail-in rebate offers you can combine with the coupon for an even better deal on the movie:
1) $5 rebate – Buy 2 boxes of band-aids and The Princess & the Frog DVD & get a $5 rebate by mail. Go HERE to download the form. Expires June 30th. {Remember you can get bandaids for FREE at Target right now)
2) $5 rebate – Buy any roll of FrogTape multi-surface (24mm, 36mm, or 48mm) painters tape and The Princess & the Frog DVD and get a $5 rebate by mail. Go HERE to print off the rebate form. Expires May 31st.
*Both of these mail-in rebates allow for photocopies of the Princess & Frog receipt & requires a proof of purchase tab (the movie will have 2 proof of purchase tabs). You also do not need to purchase the item & movie on the same receipt. Therefore, you could submit both of these rebates!
Final Price for the Deluxe Princess and the Frog Blu-Ray/DVD combo will be $6.99 at Target (including the Princess Tiana purse) if you use the $10 off coupon AND the 2 mail-in rebates!! Wow, now that is a deal!!
I’ll try to update this when I hear what the Walmart price/exclusive item will be. Let us know if you hear of any other great deals where we could use this coupon!
**There is also a $10 off coupon for the movie “Old Dogs” on this site as well, if you’re interested in this movie!!
Thanks Couponing to Disney & reader Janae!

KMart Doubles Coming to NW!
March 10, 2010

For months now, the Northwest has not been included in the Kmart doubles events. However, that’s finally changed as Kmart just released the list of all the stores participating in Kmart doubles, starting April 4th. You can find the list HERE. There are a number of WA , OR & ID stores participating. Check & see if your local store is listed! I’m excited that my local store is participating.
How Kmart doubles work:
-You can use coupons up to a $2 off value.
-Maximum of 5 manufacturer’s coupons per day can be used to double
So, you’ll want to start scoping out the coupons you can use for that sale now! Typically most printable coupons are valid for about a month, so you can start printing them off now to use for the sale starting April 4th. Look for those higher-value coupons up to $2 for the best value when doubled!

Upcoming Post Cereal Deal at Albertson’s
March 10, 2010

Albertson’s currently has a catalina deal going on for Post Cereal which will last until Sunday March 21st. Starting next Wednesday, March 17th, they will also start a sale on Post Cereal, which you can then combine with the catalina. The word is that there should also be doubles for next week as well.
This means that we might be able to purchase FREE (or super cheap) Post cereal! This sounds very similar to the Post cereal sale that happened around the same time last year. I ended up purchasing 25 boxes of Post cereal last time and even though that sounds like alot, cereal goes pretty quickly in our house. So, I will be stocking up even more for this deal!
The time frame for buying this cereal will be short - Wed 3/17 – Sun 3/21. So, you definitely want to have your coupons in time for this sale! There was a $1/2 Post cereal coupon in the 2/28 Smartsource (SS) insert you’ll be able to use with this sale.
Order Coupons::
However, if you want to purchase more cereal boxes than you have coupons for – you’ll want to think about ordering coupons thru a coupon clipping site such as Coupon Clippers or order them off Ebay. You’ll want to do this soon to make sure they get here in time for this sale!! What I like about this sale is you can get healthier cereals for such a great deal!! Definitely a super stockup time for me! I’m definitely ordering coupons so I’ll have plenty for this sale. You might also want to warn your Albertson’s to order extra cereal to prepare for all of us couponers who will be hitting the sale!
Check out Fabulessly Frugal for more tips about this upcoming sale!
What is a catalina?
For those who are new to couponing, a catalina is the paper that prints from the box next to the register after you’ve paid for your items. They might be a manufacturer’s coupon to use on specific items or an “On your next order” (OYNO) coupon (e.g. “Save $4 on your next purchase”). So, I might make 2 transactions – receive a catalina on the first transaction for OYNO and then use that catalina to pay for the rest of my purchases in the 2nd transaction. You typically have 2 weeks to use the catalinas.

Safeway & Albertson’s Cereal Deal – Today Only!
March 10, 2010

I’m just getting caught up after being off the computer all last night & today and found this awesome cereal deal going on at both Albertson’s & Safeway! But, you’ll have to hurry as it will only work today (Wednesday March 10th)!! It looks like your best bet is Safeway, although it’s still an awesome price at Albertson’s too!
Here’s the catalina deal (thru today) at both stores:
Buy select Kellogg’s cereals (Frosted Flakes, Apple Jacks, Froot Loops, Corn Pops, Cocoa Krispies, Honey Smacks)
If you buy 3, get a $1 catalina back
Buy 4, get a $3 catalina
Buy 5, get a $4 catalina
Safeway also has a Buy 5, Get $5 instant savings promotion (so make sure you buy your cereal in groups of 5)
Even better, I’m hearing reports that there are blinkie coupons on the cereals mentioned (as well as on some of the healthier Kellogg’s cereals, which unfortunately are not included in the catalina deal, but the coupon will make these a better price). So, make sure to look for the blinkie coupons (little blinkie machines right in front of the cereal boxes)
Here’s how to work the deal (once you buy your 5 cereals, you can “roll” the catalina & do the same deal again if you choose using your catalina to pay (although you may need to add in an extra item to use up all of your catalina)::
Safeway::
Buy 5 Kellogg’s select cereals (Apple Jacks, Corn Pops, Froot Loops, Cocoa Rice Krispies) $1.50 each (reg. $2.50-when you buy 5, instant $5 savings)
Use 5 $.70/1 blinkie coupons
(If you can’t find these, there are $1/2 coupons in the 3/7 Red Plum insert – use 2 of these)
Final Price: $4 (if using the blinkie coupons) and receive a $4 catalina back = 5 FREE boxes of cereal (after catalina & coupons)
Use that catalina to roll the deal & buy another 5 cereals {just be courteous & don’t clear the blinkie machines of all the coupons}
Albertson’s:
Buy 4 Kellogg’s select cereals – priced at $1.88/ea ($7.52 total)
Use (2) $1/2 coupons from 3/7 Red Plum insert
Final Price: $5.52, Get back $3 catalina = $.63/ea (after catalina & coupons)
Thanks Krazy Coupon Lady & Frugal Living NW!

Charmin 24 roll pack & Bounty 15 roll pack just $1.74 at Safeway! Tuesday only!
March 2, 2010

Update: I just did this deal myself & my math was slightly off – this should be $13.48 total you’ll pay (+ tax) and then you will get the $10 catalina for your next purchase. This means your final price (including catalina) will be $3.48 for both packs or $1.74 each.
Wow, there is a great deal going on today only (Tuesday March 2nd) for very inexpensive Charmin & Bounty at Safeway (& affiliates). There is a Proctor & Gamble (P&G) special promotion going on where you spend $25 and get back a $10 catalina (coupon to be used on your next purchase).
Charmin & Bounty are 2 products that are included in this special promotion – but this will only work thru Tuesday March 2nd! Also, when you buy 2 big packs of Charmin and/or Bounty, the price will drop from $12.99 to 2/$9.99 each

Here’s how it works:
Buy 1 Bounty 15 double roll pack -$12.99 (mine ended up being $13.99)
Buy 1 Charmin 24 double roll pack – $12.99 (mine ended up being $13.99 for 24 pk & price dropped at register to $9.99)
{$6 instant savings when you buy both the Charmin & Bounty big packs-price drops to $9.99/ea}
-Use $3 P&G Saver e-saver coupon (load onto your Safeway card)
-Use $3 Charmin P&G e-saver coupon (load onto your Safeway card)
-Use $.25 Bounty manufacturer’s coupon from 2/7 P&G insert
-Use $.25 Charmin coupon from 2/7 P&G
Final Price: $12.98, Receive $10 catalina from P&G promotion = $2.98 for both Charmin & Bounty or $1.49/each!!
{The price is calculated on the $12.99 original price of the Bounty & Charmin}
This is an absolutely amazing price on that much toilet paper & paper towels!! You’ll definitely want to head out today and try to take advantage of this deal if you’re anywhere near a Safeway store! I know I sure will be heading out to get this cheap toilet paper & paper towels! Something we can always use more of and we were even debating making a trip to Costco on Sunday to get really stocked up on these 2 items….but who needs Costco when you have couponing?! Right?
Let us know how this deal works for you! A number of people tried this deal Monday night with success, so hopefully it will go smoothly for you, too!
Thank you to Bargain Blessings & Frugal Living NW for this awesome deal!

Walgreens – Possible FREE Purex!!
February 28, 2010

Ooh, this is a *hot* deal if you have still have Purex coupons from last Sunday. Walgreens has a sale going on this week on Purex 2x liquid detergent (Mountain Breeze or Natural Elements Linen) -50 oz size. This sale is actually going on all month long on a mega-saver sale. If you have the Purex Buy 1, Get 1 Free coupon from the 2/21 Red Plum insert (last week), you should be able to get this FREE at your local Walgreens!
Here’s the scenario:
Purex 2x liquid detergent, 50 oz size (Mountain Breeze or Natural Elements Linen) – Buy 1 at $5.99 – Get 1 Free
Use {1} B1G1 free Purex coupon from 2/21 Red Plum insert
Final Price: FREE
{If you don’t have any left of this coupon or want more, you might want to think about buying the 2/21 B1G1 free coupon on Ebay or a coupon clipping site such as Coupon Clippers. This coupon does expire Sat 3/6-so you’d need to use it this week. If you order today, you should get it Thurs or Fri (at least that’s been my experience the few times I’ve ordered from Coupon Clippers).
The question is whether your Walgreens will let you use a B1G1 free coupon on a B1G1 free sale. I have always had luck at my stores being able to do this and I just called my local store & the manager said that it’s worth trying, to see if it will work. He didn’t have a problem, if the coupon was accepted by their registers. However, other stores may give you a problem with this. Someone on Hip2Save’s site emailed Walgreens & got an email back, which sounded like they would allow 1 coupon (even if it’s “B1G1 free”) to be used on a B1G1 free sale. However, they would not allow 2 single coupons to be used since you’re already getting the one item free (does that make sense?).
So, I will be heading out soon to try this. I missed out on the Fred Meyer deal since they pulled the catalina deal early…so I could use some more detergent & FREE is awesome! Let us know if you try this deal & how it works for you!!
Thank you, Collin, for this awesome deal!
