Jewel

I am not done setting up my trip to Jewel, but have to mention the progresso soups on sale for .99 cents. There was also a $1.00 off 4 a few weeks ago which makes this a great deal.

Huggies Coupons

For the rest of you who have children in diapers or who will soon have children in diapers, run over here and print your Huggies coupons.

There is a coupon for $5/1 Huggies Gentle Care product and $3/1 Huggies Natural Fit product. You can print each twice per computer.

I can promise you these will not last long. Get 'em while you can!

Combined with a sale, these coupons would make a very sweet deal on diapers at almost any store. However, if you have a Walgreens, I'd highly suggest you print them and hang onto them for a week because starting March 8, 2009, it is reported that Walgreens will have a Register Reward promotion on Huggies diapers that could net you three jumbo packs of diapers for $5 after these coupons and the Register Reward.

Tracking your spending

My husband and I sat down and made a budget for the first time in our married life in January. We didn't have a clue where our money had been going since I cut back my hours and he moved into management in January of 2007. Once we got our W-2's and saw our income and how we both felt we should have saved more, improved our house more, and definitely should have paid down more debt. We had a business meeting where I filled him in on interest rates on our debt, how much we still owed and presented a reasonable budget. Well, we blew that out of the water in January. Not to say that we both didn't try, we just didn't think of the simple unexpected things like meeting medication deductables and eye exams, dental visits and such. So we have re-evaluated this month and hope to be able to stick to this one. Our goal is to pay off 1 small loan and pay down 1 big charge card. We have 2 worksheets we are using. The first one is from Mommysnacks for tracking your grocery savings and it is here. The second is a budget from shopping for two and it is here. Thanks to both of these ladies for their great sheets! I hope you too can use them to get your money on track.

Around the blogosphere....

This week Caputo's in Lake in the Hills is celebrating 44 years of business (all together-not at that location), and they are having a 44 cent sale. Apples, eggs, and many other things are 44 cents/lb or each. I am going on Wednesday because you can't beat 1 dozen eggs for 44 cents!

Jewel

So more and more I find myself saving big bucks at Jewel. As I have said before, it is not my favorite store, but in order to save one has to sacrifice right? I went on Friday and took advantage of the 4 for $20 meat sale. I bought 3 sets of 4 meats so we are well stocked for awhile on meat since I also took advantage last time they did this (about 3 weeks ago.) This deal really worked out to be 18.10 a set of 4 so I feel I saved even more.....just look for the packs of meat that are almost 6.00. Another deal at Jewel this week is butter-only 1.88 a package. These deals are thru Wednesday and listed here are more deals. I will be going back this Wednesday for General Mills products. If you buy 20.00 worth, you get 10.00 for your next shopping trip, or in my case, whatever other deals are still in my cart (in other words, do 2 transactions). There are may printable coupons for GM products on the link at the right------>
Happy shopping!!

Jewel Savings

Here's the best deal on cereal I have seen in awhile: All Kelloggs cereal is 50% off this week. I bought 9 boxes and with coupons (see them over there on the sidebar?) I spent 15.28. That is 1.69 per box. The sale runs thru Wednesday of next week so happy shopping!
