Time Flies ?!?!

So, I was feeling quite older the other day when I received this in the mail (you can click on it to see it better)... Wasn't it just last Christmas that I got carded at the winery?!?!?! So does that mean I've aged like 30+ years in the last 10 months ?!?!?! Or does it mean that it's time for me to quit my job ?!?!?

To the Cross

I heard this song for the first time last weekend at Chippewa Evangelical Free Church. It immediately became one of my current favorites...

Frugal Friday: Deals of the Week

Wow, it's been awhile since I've posted anything. I know this isn't that exciting but I thought I'd post my deals for the last couple weeks. Martin's has been running coupons in their ads for $1 coupon doubler so I've snatched some great deals with those. Rite Aid

Oral B 3D Toothbrushes (no limit) = Free after +UP (I think I ended up with 5 by the end of the week)

Planter's nuts (24 oz peanuts) 2/$5 - $1 + UP - (2) $1 coupons = 2/$2

Nivea lip balm $2.99 - $1.99 rebate = $1

Tom's of Maine all natural deodorant $3.49 - $1 coupon - $1 rebate = $1.49

Giant Eagle - I used my $20 giftcard from the presciption that I had filled there last week (promotion for the Grand Opening of the Dubois store), so my shopping trip for:

5 boxes of Honey Nut Cheerios

1 pie pumpkin

3 boxes of Mrs. T pierogies

1 bag of tri-colored tortellini

2 1/2 lb. of apples

was only $4.44

---

Martins (pictured)

Apple juice = Free with coupon

Triscuit crackers = Free with coupon

Bounty paper towels $2.19 - $1 coupon doubled = 0.19

Progresso soups 4 @ 10/$10 - $1 coupon doubled = 4/$2

Ronzoni Garden Delight Pasta $1.59 - $1 coupon doubled = $0.41 profit

All Natural Chicken Sausage (regular $5.19 each) BOGO - $1 coupon doubled = $3.19 for both

Shop 'n Save

I should have done even better if I would have gotten my milk at Giant Eagle instead of Martins I could have used a 5/$30 coupon. Also, I forgot that I had a catalina coupon for $2 off 5 GM cereals at Giant Eagle and a coupon for the Mrs T's - oops.

Last week...

Martins (not pictured)

Carolina rice $1.19 - $.50 coupon doubled = $0.19

Gain dish detergent $1.99 - $1 coupon doubled = Free

Ken's dressing $2 - $1 coupon doubled = Free

Snyder's pretzels $2.50 - $1 coupon doubled = $.50

Bestlife margarine $2.07 - $1 coupon doubled = $.07

...with Giant Eagle recently opening and Walmart SuperCenter opening next week, I'm loving these promos for the battle of the grocery stores...$1 coupon doubler, coupons for free items when you spend $15, coupons for $5/$30 or $5/$50, credits for gas discounts...I hope it last for awhile...
