Albertsons Double Kraft Catalina Promo !

2009-08-13T11:51:00.000-07:00

I was at Albies today to do a Kraft FREE food promo. I had bought 10 of the Velveeta Shells & Cheese cups as part of the promo. They are 10/$10.....

I used (5) $1/2 Blinkies from a while back, I hear there are still BOGO's floating out there.

Sad to say I used all my coupons and at checkout received a Cat notice stating :

Starting tomorrow 8/14-9/7 Buy 2 or more Velveeta Cups you get a $1 ONYO !!

So if I would've waited until tomorrow I would have got the $5 Kraft Cat, plus (5) $1 Velveeta Cats plus the $20 Rebate!

This could be a big MM if you have the coupons!!

Good Luck, let me know how you do:-0

Remember a while back when all the wonderful Kraft printable's were available? Well thankfully I saved my Starbucks $1 coupons that expires 8/31!!

Here is what my scenario will look like:

4 Bags Starbucks Coffee $27.96
-(4) $1 IP ( I had printed a few off of my neighbors computer)

Now I may decide to wait until Sunday to see if there will be doubles. Plus I still have $20 in Cats from the previous promo. I don't think I want to use all of them for just the coffee, we will see.

**Happy shopping! Have a great week, leave a comment with the great scenario you came up with**

Buying Clearance Meat

2009-08-09T17:43:00.000-07:00

I was at Albertsons today to stock up on some Lipton Tea, apart of the Buy $30 get $15 promo, and get some produce and meat.

Well they had a great selection of clearance meat to choose from! Ending today they have Jennio-O Turkey products on BOGO

I found 4 Jennio-O Italian Turkey Brats with $2 clearance sticker on each package*!*
They were $4.99 each after bogo and clearance stickers I paid $1.98 for 4 packages!!
I stuck them in my freezer for later. I will use them to make spaghetti and lasagna and use them to flavor up some dull scrambled eggs:-)

I also found Wild Harvest Organic Lamb Chops and Shanks on clearance. Ranging between $.23 for a package to $1.53 Yes most of these will go to feed my dog ( he is on a raw natural diet ) but some of the good big ones will be for us.

These are some great finds to stock up on while you can. The sale by date was tomorrow and freeze well.

My total OOP for 7 packages of Lamb Chops and
4 packages of Jenni-O Turkey Brats was $8.39!

Do you need a license to sell your stockpile??

2009-06-22T14:12:00.000-07:00

I was having coffee with my father on Saturday and telling him how I missed out on selling my stockpile at the Happy Valley garage sales, he then pointed something out to me that I have never thought of before:

*Do you need a business license or a license from the city if your intent is to resale your brand new items you just bought? *
Even if it's at a garage sale my father pointed out that it could be considered (your garage) a store especially if you buy the items we usually get for free with the purpose of re-selling them to make some $$.
After discussing this with him we both came up with an answer of this is something that is a gray area. My intent is not to resell all of my stock, but yes I know I can resell it if I want to. I feel I am being honest in what I do and forthcoming to the people who buy my stuff.

So my question to all you readers, what do you think about this? I think it is worth a call to the city ( I plan on making later) just to make sure I'm not breaking any laws. I want to give all my readers and viewers honest information, so that is why I'm throwing this question out to everyone!

Please do leave a comment with your ideas on it:-)

Thanks!

Heather

Selling Your Stockpile @ Garage Sale: A How To Guide !

2009-05-26T15:49:00.000-07:00

Well after several curious readers have asked me ''how do I do it?'' And ''it'' being sell my stockpile at my garage sales I have decided to put together this post with detailed pictures and descriptions of what and how I do it. It is really easy and if you are organized a bit in the beginning it will be a breeze!

So let's get started: Here are some guidelines to follow, it will make it easier on you and ''buyers'' to find you!

1.Advertising, BIG BRIGHT BOLD Signs! Make sure all signs you make are on BIG BRIGHT PAPER. I buy a poster kit at Walgreens for $4.99 plus a heavy duty black permanent marker for $1.99. I use the Green and Pink Poster Paper and make the signs SIMPLE and easy to read! Don't waste time putting your address. I simple wrote: SALE with an arrow pointing them in the right direction. On signs that are further away from your house put the day's, IE..Fri-Sat 5/1 - 5/2 That way people will know when to follow your lovely signs you made to buy buy buy!

Also put an ad on Craigslist (about 2-3 days before your sale) or your blog to help promote it. I asked the people if they followed the signs or saw it off of Craigslist and most people said they followed the signs and several people said ''Those are the best garage sale signs I've seen in years!'' So there you go:-)

2. Organize, Organize, Organize...Your Stockpile! I use these handy storage totes from Target (I bought on sale for $2.99) to organize into categories: Oral Care, Beauty, Hair Care, Medicine, Fragrance, Shaving, and Misc. I try to always put a small round sticker on the bottom or top of each product of the actual OOP (out of pocket) I spent on the item so I know what to charge at the garage sale.

3. Appropriate Pricing: This one is a hard one to learn. My first year of selling my stockpile I only made $256 in 2.5 days as opposed to this years $570 in 1.5 days! My first year I was ''nervous'' about selling my goods. ''What would people think? Would they really buy all my stuff?'' Well need-less to say that is all they bought!

So I learned my lesson this year and priced things about .50 to $1 higher. I try to always make atleast $1-$3 on each item. All the freebies we get those are easy! I try to have my prices be a tad bit cheaper than Walmart or Target.

On my last day I slashed everything to HALF OFF of original prices. Again, I made a REALLY large sign I put in front of my house that ready Everything Half Off, that got a lot of people to come in and buy $20-$40 worth in one trip! Look at the end of the post for what I priced my stock at.

4. Organize Sale Items into $ bins: Again I used the totes to put all $1, $2, $4 ect..items into. That way you are saving yourself time by individually pricing each item. This worked really well for all the Bertolli Spaghetti sauce I was selling! Put your more expensive items like laundry detergent, cleaning supplies out on the table. Then simple make 1 sign saying ''Laundry Soap $3.50'' and tape the sign in front of the items. That way you wont be asked a bazillion times what each item costs!

5. Set-Up & Staging: I would stage your sale so the first thing people see driving up are your really nice items, like my table of laundry detergent, Windex, Glade Air freshners, you know the more expensive items. I had all my kitchen chairs with 1 Target tote on each. I simple wrote on computer paper $1 each or $2 each and taped it to my chair. That way it looks like you have a lot more than what you do. Also don't be afraid to put some of your kids' toys out front to make it seem like it is for sale that way you can get those on-lookers to actually stop in and see what you have!

6. Incentive & Freebies: When I posted my ad on Craigslist I advertised that the first 10 people could pick a goody from my Freebie bag. I had some nice things in there too:-) It was incentive to come in with no obligation to buy. It worked because the early birds (most anyway) said ''Hey was I one of the first 10?''

Another incentive I was doing was telling the people who were buying if they referred a friend or family member that person could pick from the freebie pile too! They wrote their names down and sure enough I got 6 new customers that way!

7. Make It Fun! This one is key, if you don't have fun you will be a grumpy-gills and not make as much $$! People won't buy from grumpy people. I try to have fun balloons blown up with string to give away to all the kids that come. I set up a little stand for my kids to sell soda for .25. Make it fun for your kids too, I let them keep the $ earned from all the soda sold so they could pick out a new toy...ah but that's not all hee hee, I made them pick out quit a few of their older toys they don't play with anymore to put in a FREE bag for all the kids to pick out. This pleased the mom's who in turn (I think) looked longer and bought a few more items:-0 It's a win-win for everyone.

Here is an example list you can go by when you are ready to have your sale. This is all the items and prices I sold this year. Oh yes 1 more thing. On my last day I slashed everything to HALF OFF of original prices. Again, I made a REALLY large sign I put in front of my house that ready Everything Half Off, that got a lot of people to come in and buy $20-$40 worth in one trip!

Fabulous Finds From Target !

2009-05-25T10:12:00.000-07:00

You know I am thinking that Target is now replacing Walgreens for me! After all Walgreens took away the Easy Saver Catalog, the Mail-in-Rebates and probably yet to come the Register Rewards:-( Yikes...let's hope not.

So because of the lack of deals at Wags I've been focusing on the Great Deals @ Target! They let you ''stack'' the Mfq coupons with their coupons making overage and freebies:-) I know quit a few have reported that their Target did not allow them to stack the coupons but Target's Corporate Coupon Policy clearly states you can!!

**Edit** Sorry I thought I included the link to the coupon policy! OOps
Go Here to check it out. I would suggest printing it and taking it with you for everyone who has a bad time from the cashiers with this.

So here are the great freebies I'm going to purchase today:

Albertsons Double Deals Trip #1

2009-05-20T13:06:00.000-07:00

With all the freebies this week I could'nt resist going to the store again! I went last night to use up the last of the doubles that expired and was happy to meet another blogger:-0
It was a pleasant surprise Libby!

Anyway with time to kill before I had to get my son from school I put a quick deal together

This is what I got:

Transaction #1
1 Box Honey Maid Graham Crackers
1 Package Hershey Milk Chocolate Bars (Must be milk chocolate)
1 Package Kraft Marshmellos
TOTAL: 6.99

Used
-$3 Instant Savings WYB all 3
-$1 Graham Cracker IP
-$1 Mfq from RP WYB all 3 products
-$1 Albies Dbl
-$.99 Albies Dbl
OOP: FREE!

Transaction #2
1 Box Ritz Crackers
2 Boxes Trisquit Crackers

-(2) $1 Trisquit IP
-FREE Wheat Thins WYB Ritz $1.47
-(3) $.47 Albies Dbl
OOP: $1.52

**I made sure to talk to the manager before I checked out to confirm the policy on coupon doubling. He said that they cannot double to give you overage but will mark the double down to the correct price to make the item free. For example the Nabisco crackers are $1.47, I used the $1 coupon, he can only double $.47 to make them free. I hope that makes sense!**

Walgreens $5 off $25 Is Back !!

2009-05-19T16:07:00.000-07:00

My Awesome Garage Sale of Stock Pile Only!

2009-05-03T18:36:00.000-07:00

Well I decided last minute on Wednesday night to have a garage sale on Friday and Saturday. The weather was supposed to be great for Friday and questionable for Saturday...so I decided to go for it! I got the bright green and pink poster board, made and hung my signs and posted on Craigslist about it.

I have to admit the main reason for my last minute garage sale......to make more room in my garage for all the Safeway Living Well stuff I was buying! Sad I know...but I am SO happy I did.
OK so I again forgot to take before/after pics ARRRHHHGGG oh well. I will list what I sold and prices

Windex $1.50
All 3x Laundry Detergent (from the Albertsons deal not so long ago) $3
Snuggle Fabric Softer $3
Pledge Cleaning Spray/Wipes $2 (Sfwy Cat Deal)
Hansen's Soda $2 for a 6 pack
Toothbrushes $1
Toothpaste $2
Floss $1.50
Men's Power Razors $4
Women's Venus/Gilette Razors $4
Disposable Razors $2.50
Shaving Cream $1.50

OK...I think that is all and I had HUGE quantity of most everything. I still have 15 bottles of Windex and 14 boxes of Electrosol that didn't sell! I opened at 9am on Friday and closed at 4pm. Saturday was raining but opened at 9:30am anyway and closed at 1pm...Saturday was half price everything just to get it out!!

DRUM ROLL PLEASE.........My 1 and 1/2 day total was $571!!!!! I could not believe it and counted several times to make sure. That is such A HUGE blessing from the Lord bc we needed about $500 to fix our car woot woot:-) So I am SO PLEASED with my last minute sale and can't wait to have another one at the end of summer.

So have you sold your stockpile? How did you do? Do you feel a little panicked bc you are all out of everything? Sadly looking at the garage now I'm thinking ''I need to get back to work on my good deals!''

Safeway Living Well Scenarios

2009-04-20T21:41:00.000-07:00

I have 4 Transactions put together the 1st being the most OOP, the other 3 rolling the $10 Cat with a lower OOP
***Just a reminder that if you use Safeway coupons or P&G Esaver coupons to deduct the amount of coupon from the $30 total. For instance Starbucks coffee is $8.99, Safeway has an in-ad Coupon for $2 off, so you would only count $6.99 towards the $30, not the $8.99. Another example is Tampax Tampons are $2.99 with a $1 P&G Esaver coupon of $1 so you would only count $1.99 towards the $30 not $2.99 HTH!***

OK I am out of control sometimes! I saw on Saving 4 My Family an awesome Catalina deal with Windex, Pledge and Scrubbing Bubbles. Click on their link above for the details

So I hurried to my favorite Safeway with a hole in my pocket and $ and Cats (from a previous promo) to spend! Dont worry I didnt wipe out the store:-) I split up my transactions between 2 stores so I saved some for other people!

This is what I got:

28 Bottles of Windex ( I will sell @ my garage sale)

8 Bottles Scrubbing Bubbles

2 Bottles Pledge Multi Purpose Spray (I bought the wrong one originally had to return it, they only had 2 bottles left)

2 Pledge Mulit Purpose Duster ( I did not get a Cat for this, needed it anyway though)

Total before Club Card & Coups: $225.39!

OOP (Money Spent Out of Pocket): $7.52!!! I had $16 in Cats as well as Coups

Still have $5 in Cats

That is whopping 96% Savings!

Amazing Organic Goat Milk Soap!

2009-03-12T19:17:00.000-07:00

I just have to tell everyone about my favorite soap of all time! Yes it's true I actually PAY for it. It may seem like a hard thing to do when you can get so many soaps/shampoo's and body washes for free or make money on them at Walgreens

BUT.....

This soap is amazing! It last's 3 times longer than any soap I've ever ''bought'', it smells and feels amazing and it's all natural all organic. Knowing that it has no harmful dye's perfumes or who know's what makes me feel a lot better too.

My 3 favorites are:

Peaches N Cream (love this one for my face)
Refreshing Cucumber
Citrus Glow

So I would recommend checking out Organic Way Soap and see for yourself how great it is.

Weekly Spending 1/25 to 1/31

2009-02-01T13:14:00.000-08:00

Well I am proud to say that I did not spend ONE PENNY on my groceries or household this week! Woo hoo it is nice to be so well stocked:-0 This week was a nice break to take off of shopping and blogging, I still have 2 sick kiddos to tend to:-(

Groceries: $0!
Household: $0!

So with that $50 savings for the week I splurged at my favorite meat market, Gartners, and stocked up on lunch meat, sausage, ground beef and chicken. It's all natural no preservatives, nitrates or msg, so definitely a good way to spend $50!

***Stay tuned tomorrow for the up-and coming Albertsons ad!***
