SADNESS... BUY LOW

I don't know if you've all heard but today I will be in mourning. BUY LOW MARKET, my most favorite grocery store ever, is going out of business.
I have no idea why. I can only imagine that money was handled poorly as the place was always jumping, never lacking for customers. Maybe it was all the low prices they offered... I don't know. I just know that I am devastated!
That leaves us though, with one more produce option: Rancho Market. Let's just hope they stay in business, otherwise I just don't know how we'll buy fresh fruit and veg anymore!
Keep in mind that Rancho does not accept coupons so if they have a great deal and you have a coup for it, you'll need to grab the ad and match it at Walmart.
So gather up all your best coupons friends, and head over to Buy Low this week! It is, I guess, an opportunity to grab some steals for our food storage...
SADNESS

Humble Pie.. Still learning!

I went to Office Max... and learned a lesson that I have had to learn again and again.
Read the fine print!!

The Duck tape that a coupon site had said was on sale for just $1, was actually just $1 off.
Still, the Provo store didn't even know about that discount and I was able to use my 20% discount that ends today and a $1 mfr coupon so I got one roll for $2.14.
Not at all how I had planned, but a good lesson to learn! I just hope this is the last time I have to learn it!!
Double check everything, every tiny detail!!

Yesterday's Adventures!

 I loaded up the kids and ventured out into the subzero temperatures to hit several stores. It was a trial for all of us, but I got it done!
 We hit Office Max first to grab the $1 Duck tape. They were, for some reason, totally unaware of their  advertised sale. The girl even tried looking it up online (no idea where she looked...) and couldn't find it. So I am going back in there today with the print-out of the ad so they will have to give me the deal! Frustrating!! I won't be stopped though!!

We also hit Smith's to grab a few of their good deals. I checked the clearance end cap and found a few goodies;
 Small plastic spray bottle .39
 Battery Powered Christmas Wreathe lights .39
Chopped Nut Topping .99

I also hit Rite Aid to grab their money maker Blistex and the Ziplock Slider bags that have +UP rewards. They were nearly out of the bags. Probably all gone by now. They did have plenty of the Blistex though. I am saving my rewards for this next week's sale.

At Walgreen's, I got the FREE Weight loss supplements and 4 rolls of the .39 tape. While I was at it, I hit there clearance end caps and was thrilled with what I found!! I don't think they've ever had that great of a clearance variety. All good stuff!
I paid $13 total for the supplements, tape, and the following clearance items:

(19) elf .35 oz Lip Gloss
(2) Beauty to go French Nail kits
(4) Christmas decorative soap
(2) Art Glass Pendant Necklaces

Talk about WOW!!! It was so great!!!

At Buy Low I got a bunch of great produce at rock bottom prices. There wasn't anything great in their clearance carts, but you always have to at least look!!

And now, off to claim my Duck tape!! They better be ready for the wrath and the fury! Conquer, I will!

Cute Owl Pendant $.91 TOTAL!!

Here's a fun little deal to add to your gifting box for all of those children's birthday party invites, or friend/neighbor/visiting teachee's!

It takes almost a month for it to arrive, but the reviews are great and the price is AMAZING!! And since it's just to add to your gifting box, the wait shouldn't be a problem! The price was .88 yesterday and has now gone up to .91 each. So jump on it before it goes higher!
Ps. That $.91 INCLUDES shipping and processing!!!

Correction and notes

Good morning! So I goofed on Macey's sales this week. They are having one day only deals and several of the prices I listed were one day only. Refer to Maceys.com.
Also, fyi, the chocolate chips on sale are actually "chocolate-flavored" chips and not real chocolate. I skipped them. There are "real" chocolate chips though, Western Family brand, on sale for 3/$5 which is still a great deal.
One other note, the 6 pack of Shur Saving paper towels is a pack of very small rolls. If you need them now, it's a decent deal but if you can hold out and gather more P&G coupons, I'd recommend doubling your Bounty coupons on Tuesday at Walmart for the Bounty single roll. It is much larger and will end up costing just $.50 each. 

Other useful info.. Buy Low

I hit Buy Low yesterday and figured out what their new ad system is. They have gone paperless, the ads will only be online but you can also grab a copy at the store of the computer print out. The deals will be based on the day that you go, ie. Mon & Tues, Wed & Thurs, Fri & Sat.
There were also several unadvertised deals that I found too though, like the .39 bananas, so be on the look out for happy surprises! They also had lots of left over Christmas candy at rock bottom prices!! Gold and green wrappers go great in Easter baskets!!

There wasn't anything good in the regular clearance carts this time, but bring your coupon binder just in case if you head over there!

Also, Buy Low is continuing to ad-match other grocery store's ads. Must have it with you. Kinda funny since they themselves are no longer putting out a circular ad... :)
