Some of my coupons today came from Family Circle magazine and Food Network magazine which we get sent to the house. If you get magazines, especially food or parenting mags, you may find coupons hidden in the pages. Women's mags sometimes have coupons for makeup or other feminine products.
Total spent: $113, Total saved (sales and coupons): $120
Some deals from today (these are in addition to the ones from my first pass post):
Best deals - FREE or practically free
Ivory Soap (3 bar pack) - orig. 1.45, cpn for $1 off in P&G Saver on 12/27 x2, final price = FREE (they had this today so I guess they will restock in between days!)
Dannon Lite & Fit yogurt - orig. 6 for $4, sale 10 for $4, $1 off 6 cpn in 1/3 smart source x 2, final price = 40 cents for 6, or about 6 cents each
Fleishman's yeast - orig. 99 cents per strip - cpn for 40 cents off in 10/4, 11/08, and 12/6 smart source doubles to 80 cents - final price = 19 cents (D is going to attempt making bread from scratch - if it's good it could save a bundle on yummy crusty bread!)
Special K granola bars - orig. 3.19, sale 1.99, e-VIC special price .99 (limit 1), cpn for $1 off (printable) x 2, final price = FREE (NOTE: There is also a cpn for $1 off 2 boxes in the 1/3 Red Plum which would make this deal 50 cents per box since you only get one at the eVIC 99 cents price and the second one would be 1.99; HOWEVER, they are also doing a special K promotion where if you buy 4 special K items you get $5 off, so you could pair up 2 boxes of the cereal (which is 2.50 per box) with two boxes of the bars plus the granola bar coupon ($1 off 2 boxes which doubles) and the cereal coupon ($1 off 2 boxes which doubles) from the 1/3 Red Plum - with the coupons it only adds up to $4, and then you get $5 off - so essentially you get TWO boxes of cereal and TWO boxes of bars for FREE AND you actually MAKE money because you only spent 4 of the $5 off so you make $1. Awesome deal! Wish I hadn't used my coupons during the Kroger deal last week, which wasn't as good as free.
Snyders/Rold Gold Pretzels - ok, so this was a mistake on my part but paid off. Snyders pretzel bags are on sale 2 for $4 (or $2 each). I didn't realize the coupon for $1 off I had from this month's Family Circle magazine was for Rold Gold pretzels, not Snyders. The cashier didn't even bother to look at my pretzels and when the coupon didn't ring up she just asked the manager to do an override. so I got to use my $1 off cpn (x2) to get FREE pretzels. I'm not sure what the price on the Rold Gold ones are, but you might be able to get them free or cheap too.

I will probably return tomorrow as I got a $1 off oikos greek yogurt cpn printed out today as I checked out (which will make the yogurt free) plus there is an eVIC special for free HT trail mix I keep forgetting to pick up. We'll see if any cpns in tomorrow's paper match up well with the sales.
Reminder - all deals and sales assume that you A. have a VIC card (you won't get any of the sales without this. If you don't have it with you the cashier can look it up using your phone number) and B. you are an eVIC member. If you are not an eVIC member you are missing out. Go to the website: http://www.harristeeter.com and follow the links to sign up. You'll get a newsletter to your email box each week with the sales, the eVIC specials, and sometimes special eVICs just for you that will be taken off at the register. eVIC prices are often not advertised in the store so you just have to know about them and it will be taken off at the register. Plus each week someone is chosen to win a couple hundred dollars worth of groceries and the winner is announced in the e-newsletter.
Yours in savings,
Li
