New Old El Paso Coupon + Print Those April Coupons!

Wow, can you believe April is over? I almost forgot to remind you all to print your Coupons.com coupons! There are several still worth printing if you haven't printed them yet, including a NEW .60/2 Old El Paso products coupon! Be sure to print 2 of each coupon you'll use!

This will pair perfectly with the catalina deal running at all 3 of our local stores through 5/18: Buy 3 participating Old El Paso Products, get $1 catalina coupon back at checkout, buy 6 get $3 catalina coupon (good on your next order).

Deal Scenario:
Buy 6 Old El Paso Taco Seasoning Mixes, priced .67-.79 at all of our stores
Use 3 .60/2 printable coupons here (will double to $1 each)
Pay $1.02-$1.74, get a $3 Catalina back! Even if you have 2 coupons, pay only $2.02-$2.74 and get a $3 coupon back!

Use these coupons on the other Old El Paso items that qualify for the catalina promotion and are on sale to score other great deals as well!

These Old El Paso product sale prices are only good through Saturday at Cashwise and Sunmart, but extend through Tuesday at Hornbacher's!

While you're at it, be sure to check Smartsource.com and RedPlum.com, as their coupons tend to reset at the end of the month as well.

$1 VHS Clearance at Moorhead Sunmart

I was at Moorhead Sunmart last night and found a SUPER fun clearance find (if you still have a VHS player)!

There was an entire cart full of classic VHS movies, for $1 each! Now, we still have and use our tape player (I know...) so I picked up Casablanca, a classic. :) There was everything from Star Wars to Jaws. Sounds like they are getting rid of VHS in the rental area.

Most Sunmart locations have a dedicated clearance/mark down area. If you're not sure, just ask!

Earth Day Deal - $1 Ink Refill at Walgreens!

I was so excited when I saw this Earth Day deal! Thursday only, April 22nd, get an ink cartridge refilled at Walgreens for only $1!

Saturday, April 17 from 11am to 1pm at Toys "R" Us in Fargo. A day of fun for children age 3 and up, including Thomas story time, games, trivia, coloring and free gifts.

I haven't been to one of these, so I don't know that the "free gifts" are, but if you have a little on that loves Thomas (like I do!), I'm sure it will be a great time!

Whatever you choose, have a great weekend with your family!

Your Questions, Answered!

I've been at this about 6 months now and it seems like an appropriate time to share a little more about myself. I'm laughing a little, because I intended to do this a long time ago. But, now since this little thing has grown quite a bit and there are so many readers, I thought we could have a little fun with it.

I get lots of questions by emails with questions and I respond to what I can, but I'd love to answer more questions about myself and what I do here at FM Cheapskate.

Have a question about me or what I do? How I shop or anything else? I'm working on a short series of posts about FM Cheapskate and myself and would love to know what you'd like to know more about.

Email me at fmcheapskate (at) gmail.com or use the link in the upper left hand corner of my site. Or, leave a question in the comments. Looking forward to sharing more with you!

Plus, have you played the Shop Like a Millionaire game at Sunmart this week? Each time you go to the store, get a game piece (up to one per day per person - no purchase is necessary). Affix pieces to your game card in groups to win prizes! I love little things that I can cut out and do with my hands (I'm a dork, I know), so this game is kind of exciting. I'd liken it to the McDonald's Monopoly game. I just thought I'd mention it because there are also instant win pieces. For all the details and rules, head over here.

Weekend Coupon Preview

Look for 2 inserts, a Smart Source and a Red Plum, in this weekend's paper. I've been out already and found both in my Saturday Star Tribune! (They're nice and big inserts, too!) For a full preview of the coupons, head on over to Sunday Coupon Preview.

Read more about why and when to buy the paper in our area here

Cereal Haulin'

This is one of those days when "Show and Tell" is appropriate, I think.

I don't know why it took me three days to figure out that Corn Flakes and Raisin Bran were both large enough to qualify for the Kellogg's milk Catalina that is still running through Saturday.

I bought 4 Raisin Bran and 3 Corn Flakes. 2 cereals were .97, the others were $1.47, for a total of $9.29.

I used 2 $1/2 Raisin Bran coupons and a $1.50/2 Corn Flakes coupon, all from the 3/28 RP.

Received: 3 coupons for FREE Gallon of Milk. That’s money!

Final price: $5.79 for 7 cereals, 3 gallons of milk and 3 super cute reusable bags!

Now that's what I've heard called a "perfect storm" when it comes to couponing.  An awesome sale price, high value coupons, a matching catalina deal and freebies thrown in!

So here's another deal scenario for ya:

Purchase 7 Corm Flakes for a total of $9.29
Use 3 $1.50/2 Corn Flakes coupons from the 3/28 RP
Final price: $4.79 for 7 cereals, 3 cool bags and 3 coupons for FREE milk gallons!

More Sunmart Deals!

When you buy 2 Kellogg's cereals, get a FREE Retro Kellogg's reuasable bag
These are stacked by the registers and are only while supplies last! For more on the Kellogg's cereal deal, see the full Sunmart deals list here.

Hillshire Farms Turkey Lil' Smokies .99

Also, the 25th St Sunmart in Fargo had 4% Cottage Cheese marked at only .99! I couldn't tell if this was a markdown just for this store, or if it's a price that is good at all stores. Using the .50 coupons here I was able to pick up 4 of these for FREE! If you're planning on heading out to Sunmart, you might print these just in case your store has them marked at .99 as well!

Now, does anyone have a recipe they'd recommend that includes cottage cheese (besides lasagna?) I'm thinking I'll need to make a few freezer meals to use it up before it's date... :)

Sunmart Deals 4/4-4/10

Don't forget to head over here to view and print Our Family Coupons before you shop!

Select Kellogg's Cereals and Pop Tarts (8 ct) - $0.97 (Limit 2, additional $1.47)
A great price without coupons, but there are a few to use to make the deal even better!
Use the $1/2 Rice Krispies blinkie coupon, the $1.50/2 Raisin Bran printable coupon here

EDIT: There are also $1.50/2 Corn Flakes 10+ oz and a $1/2 Raisin Bran 11.4 + oz coupons from the 3/28 RP that will work for this! Thanks, Suzette!

Final price: As low .22 each, plus get a FREE Retro Kellogg's Reusable bag while supplies last!
Most of these are too small to qualify for the Kellogg's Catalina I mentioned here. For that Catalina deal, I believe the cereals need to be 10+ oz.

Premium Boneless Pork Chops, 3.14 lb (10 chops) $10
I always mention this sale, not necessarily because it is a great price on pork chops (more then $3/lb), but because this is a great week to shop the "reduced for quick sale" section at your Sunmart store. This meat does need to be used within a few days or frozen for later use. However, this is one of my best tips for getting a great price on meat. When these econopacks of pork chops go on sale 10/10, you can often find the 10 packs for as little as $6 (less than $2/lb) in the reduced meat section!

Weekend Coupon Preview

Usually on a holiday weekend we don't see any inserts, but Sunday Coupon Preview has a P&G insert listed. This doesn't surprise me, as P&G are a little different than the rest of the inserts. Has anyone out there has gotten a Star Tribune or a Forum today? I'm curious whether we got it or not...

Head on over here for the full preview!

Let us know if you found inserts in today's paper or not! And, remember, in our area, this Cheapskate recommends buying the Star Tribune.

Kmart Super Doubles Event - Starts Tomorrow

Kmart is hosting a Super Doubles Event starting tomorrow, Sunday, April 4th!

Since I don't normally post about the large chain stores here, I'm going to give you the basics of the Doubles Event and pass you along to My Frugal Adventures for the coupon match-ups.

If you've never doubled coupons at Kmart, here are the basics:

Kmart will double coupons with a face value up to $2
That means a $1 coupon will double to $2, and a $2 coupon will double to $4. If you have a $3 coupon, it will not double. Note: if you have a $2 coupon and the item costs $3.59, your coupon will only double to the price of the item, in my experience.

Doubles Event runs from April 4-10
Kmart is notorious for not advertising Doubles Events, but both Fargo and Moorhead stores are participating. To see if your store is participating, check here.

The first 5 coupons you use with your Shop Your Way card will double
It appears that Kmart is limiting you to 5 coupons per day. You can use more, but only the first 5 will double. If you don't yet have a Shop Your Way card, you can sign up in-store. They'll give you your card on the spot.

Plan Ahead and Shop Early
In my experience, Kmart does not restock during the week. If there is something you're after, go with coupons in hand and shop early. I'm not sure why this Doubles Event starts on Easter Day, but stores will be open, apparently.

And now, for the coupon match-ups. Head on over here where My Frugal Adventures has posted a deal list.

Edit: Hip2Save now has a deal list posted over here as well!

And, my best advice for Kmart is be patient and flexible. Hope you all find some great deals!

Online Resources for Grocery Pricing!

Two of the most helpful resources for me in trying to compile our local grocery deals are Hornbacher's Online Shopping site and CashWise Delivers, CashWise's online shopping site.


Both of these sites allow you to search for items throughout the store and give you prices, show what varieties are on sale, etc.  How great is that?!

Now if only Sunmart would get onboard...  :)

Cheap Eggs at Walgreens!

Wowzers! Has anyone noticed the price of a dozen eggs at Walgreen's this week? Eggs are only .59/dozen this week at Fargo and Moorhead Walgreen's locations! Limit 2.

Maybe it's because Easter is coming up? Regardless of the reason, we had breakfast for dinner last night and probably will again soon. This is a great way to make an inexpensive meal!

National Park Week - FREE Admission and More!

I've heard of this before, but never far enough in advance to make plans to visit. Every year, the National Park Service hosts National Park Week, an event where many National Parks offer FREE Admission and more! This year's National Park Week is April 17-25, 2010

To learn more about events at parks in our area, go here and search by state.

Theodore Roosevelt National Park in North Dakota is hosting a Junior Ranger Day, which looks like it could be lots of fun for the little ones!

Thanks, Bargain Central!

New April Coupons!

It's April! Coupons.com has released several new coupons! 
 

I'd recommend printing any that you're interested in - often the good ones won't last!

I printed:

.75 Gold'n Plump Chicken
.50 Green Giant Steamers
.55 Honey Nut Cheerios
.50 Old Orchard Juice
.40 Betty Crocker Potatoes
.30 Yoplait Greek Yogurt

There are still several coupons that haven't reset for me, like the $3 Huggies coupon. Guess we'll have to wait and see...

Remember you can print 2 of each, even though they often change pages after you print them. Head on over here to print them!
