I got an AWESOME deal on baby wipes this morning!

I was in Wal-mart early this morning and they had just rolled out a clearance cart with cases of Pampers baby wipes regularly $12 for an case with 8 packs of sensitive baby wipes.  They were marked down to $8, which is $1 per package.  I only had one $.50 off pampers coupon but I went ahead and grabbed two cases, which came to $15.50 + tax for 16 packs of baby wipes.  Luckily, I had a Wal-mart gift card so my out of pocket was $00.00!  Too bad I didn't have more Pampers coupons.

Uncle Ben's Rice Coupon

Sign up on the Uncle Ben's website and get e-mailed coupons like this $1/2 Uncle Ben's rice coupon.  This is a great coupon since Publix has Uncle Ben's Country Inn Rice on sale BOGO for $1.49. That means you'll get two boxes of rice for $.49.

Cascadian Farm Coupons -- Great Deals!

Here are some great scenarios for the $1/1 coupons available here. These are manufacturer coupons, so you can combine them with store coupons and sales.

There are also printable coupons on the Target website, which you can use at Target or stores that accept competitor coupons. Hurry if you're going to use these coupons, though, they expire 1/30!

Using the $1/2 Cascadian Farms granola bar coupons from the Target website and the $1/1 (use two coupons) you can save $3 on two boxes of Cascadian Farms granola bars. Luckily, Publix also accepts competitor coupons so I can check both stores to see which one has the best deal. Maybe these will go on sale BOGO soon, wouldn't that be great!

Another option, is to use the Publix $2/3 Cascadian Farms frozen vegetable coupon from the Yellow Advantage Flier in combination with 2 of the $1/1 coupon and you'll save $4/3 frozen vegetables. Even better deal if you can get another $1/1 coupon and save $5/3. Most of the Cascadian farms frozen vegetables are priced between $2.50 - $3 at Publix. So they won't be Free, but if you buy a lot of organic foods, this is a great deal.

Big Lots 20% off Coupon

Visit Big Lots website and sign up for their BUZZ CLub to get a coupon for 20% off at Big Lots. It's good until 1/31!

Visit Sunday Coupon Preview to get a list of the coupons coming in the paper 1/24/10.

Awesome Kroger Kashi Deal!

Kroger has the Kashi Honey Sunshine cereal in a double pack for $5.99. I used a $1 off peelie and was able to get two boxes for $4.99, plus there was a FREE Kashi breakfast bar peelie on the box.

I bought 2 packs for a total of 4 boxes of cereal and 2 boxes of the breakfast bars for $9.98 + tax!

Lane Bryant Bra Deal!

I got an e-mail from Lane Bryant that their B2G2 Bra Deal was ending soon and decided to check it out. I normally buy my bras from either Lane Byrant or JcPenney online and they tend to run $30 - $50 a bra, so I'm always looking for a good deal.

Here's what I did to make this deal the best for me:

1st
I went through MyPoints so I could earn points in my account towards giftcards. I don't participate in some of the other sites that do the same thing, so there may be a better deal through one of those sites.
2nd
I visited Retail Me Not and found a code for 20% off your entire order, which worked!
Code: 000208024

So I ended up with 4 bras originally $42/each = $168 - $84 (B2G2 Free discount) - $16.8 (20% off discount) = $67.20 + $4.99 S/H + $6.68 Sales Tax = $78.87

I was able to save about 60% off the original price and ended up with 4 bras for less than $20 each, not a bad deal.
