What a deal!?

You may want to buy your Sunday paper in bulk this week, kids, there are some good coupons! Sometimes, coupon leaflets don't make it into every paper. I can often be found searching the Sunday Star Tribs at the store to make sure ALL my ads and coupons are in there. Some coupons to watch for: Mail in rebate for $5 when you buy two TGI Friday's prepared cocktails (if I must buy drinks, I will). $7 off coupon for regular admission at Valley Fair (who's going with me?). Coupons for Olive Garden, Cold Stone, Green Mill, and Baskin Robbins.

THIS WEEKS DEALS!!!
Sunday mornings, I can be found at the kitchen table surrounded by coupons, paper (for lists), and the new ads, saying, "I like what you've done here. Yes, yes!" (bonus: name the movie that quote is from for a super great prize!). I heart Sundays.

Coborn's:
In my vast grocery shopping experience, Coborns generally has the best fresh produce. They also have a very large selection of gluten free products
Quaker products (Cap'n Crunch, Life, Quakes, Granola Bars, etc) are a BOGO (ps, Payless Shoe's BOGO sale is NOT a true BOGO, its what I like to call a BOGO-HO (Ho said in the most ghetto fashion you can muster))
Crystal Farm Cheese is 3/$5
Blueberry Pints - BOGO 2/$2.99

Target:
Tide 100oz for $11 - look for $1 off coupon
When at Target, always walk the endcaps - you never know what you'll find on clearance. I've gotten tampons, shampoo, toilet paper, toothpaste, etc on clearance. Its not like these items "go bad" but I do like me a good deal!

So where am I going shopping this week? Well, I went to Cub this morning and plan on going to Coborns tomorrow for the produce I need for the week. I'm also going to force myself to go to Target to pick up the Tide....happy shopping!
