Super Savings Saturday!

Did you score big at the grocery store this week? Did you take a picture of all of your loot? :)

I only went to one grocery store this week.... TARGET! And I had so much fun getting $300 worth of mostly KASHI products for only $67! Here's the pic with my Kashi steals:



You can go to my post HERE to see what else I was able to get. Please note that I ALWAYS ask the cashier if I need to split it up into multiple transactions since I have so many coupons. They always tell me no, that I can do it all at once. But I am more than willing to separate it all if they want me to.

Leave a link to your grocery store savings and share your picture with us! Please link directly to your grocery store savings post and not to your home page or any other section of your site. This link-up is not for coupon matchups, but specifically for pictures of your trip(s).

(If you are reading this in a feed reader or your inbox, you will need to come over to the site to see the links HERE.)

Coupon Preview - 7/12

There will be TWO coupon inserts in tomorrow's paper: one Smart Source insert and one Red Plum insert.

To see the full coupon preview, head over to The Coupon Clippers, click on "Tracking" and then you can click on each insert on the calendar to see what coupons are available. You can also order extras of any of the ones you are especially excited about!

Some coupons vary from one location to another. One area might get one coupon and another area might not, or one area may get a $1.00 off coupon and another might get a 55¢ off coupon.

Here are some of the coupons I'm most excited about:

$2.50/1 Electrosol Powerball Tabs, or Gelpacs (this one will be a hot one!)
B1G1 Free Airwick Refill

$2/1 Cutter Insect Repellant
50¢/1 Lysol Bathroom cleaner (will double to $1 at many grocery stores)

Kellogg's Fuel For School Rebate Update

I just got off the phone with a customer service representative from Kellogg's. They said that even though the Fuel For School online rebate form says that all of the items have to be on one receipt, they will actually take up to TWO receipts, as long as they are dated between July 1st and September 30th. You can call them to verify at 1-800-962-1413.

ALSO, the representative said that there will be another $10 rebate coming out in the paper sometime in August which will be essentially the same thing as the online rebate, just without the $70 Dell discount. You can also purchase your 10 items on two receipts with this rebate. AND, you can do this rebate in addition to the one above! She didn't say which weekend in August it would be coming out in the paper, but I will let you know as soon as I find out.

FREE Kellogg's Cocoa Krispies at Safeway Stores

Safeway stores (Tom Thumb, Randalls, Vons, etc...) have Kellogg's Cocoa Krispies (16.5 oz) on sale for 99¢ with in-ad coupon today through Sunday. Use the $1/1 coupon from the 6/7 RP to get them for FREE!

Even though the ad says "Limit 1" sometimes the computer will take off the discount for more than one item. If you are brave enough to do it, you can try getting 10 of them, using 10 coupons, and submitting for the $10 Kellogg's/Keebler Rebate HERE (if you did this with the Eggo Bakeshop, you can't do it again) to get $10 back, which would make it a $10 Money-maker! (Let me know if your store will allow this... I've seen the comp. at my store take off the discount for more than one item before).

You can see more of this week's Tom Thumb/Safeway deals over at Happy Couponing HERE.

$7 FREE to your UPromise Account!

Have you signed up for UPromise yet? If you haven't, make sure to read my post HERE on what it is and how to sign up (for free of course!) Once you have signed up, come back to this post and continue reading.

If you are already a member of UPromise, you can get $7 added to your account for FREE... and possibly save some money while you do it too! Here's how:

1) Once you are signed into your UPromise account, look under the "Earn Rewards" section, and click on the "Auto" link.

2) Scroll down the page until you see "$5 Free With Quote From Liberty Mutual".

3) Click on that and follow the directions!

4) Then, get an extra $2 for requesting an auto quote from Insurance.com (it will be under the section "Our Auto Partners")

And who knows, you might be able to decrease your insurance bill too!

According to Carrie over at Money Saving Methods you can request a quote every 6 months for home, auto, and renters insurance and receive a bonus into your UPromise account!

Thanks, Carrie!

FYI: It has been brought to my attention that some states do not qualify, so make sure to check that your state qualifies for the cash back first!

K-Mart Toy Clearance

If you live close to a K-Mart you might want to stop by and take advantage of their toy clearance they have going on right now! In addition to the 50% off already reduced prices, you can use this $5/$20 Toy coupon to further maximize your savings!

Go HERE to see all the $1000 worth of toys that Saving Your Cents got for only $150!

So if you don't have a Kmart near you, don't fret! Target will be clearing their shelves soon to get ready for their Christmas toy stock. :)
