Where in the World is April Ban? Choosing New Winner Monday for the Thirty-One $50 Prize Pack



Last call for April Ban! Since the drawing of the Thirty-One giveaway on September 22nd, I've tried unsuccessfully to notify April about her win! If I don't hear from her over the weekend, there will be a new winner chosen Monday! This is a great prize pack that I would hate for her to miss out on, but we need to give it away!

Catherine's Awesome Trip To Publix Wednesday Night! (Saved $116.94, Spent $15.69)




Couldn't help but share this one with you! Catherine, a member of "Clipping for a Cause," went to Publix straight after our clipping party Wednesday night to get the items on her list.

When we meet at the church each week, we usually spend about an hour or a little more clipping coupons for items that will be free or less than a dollar. Using various websites such as I Heart Publix and Southern Savers , we are able to print weekly ads with coupon matchups for several stores in our area. We take the coupons clipped for each store and divide them among 5-8 volunteers who then purchase the items and bring those items to the next meeting. From there, we divide everything purchased from that week and it is delivered based on the individual needs of the charities we help support!

Catherine shows us how a little over $15 can purchase nearly 50 items to donate to needy families.

Purchases:

18 Smart Balance Milks @ $2.50
12 Fiber-One Yogurt 4-pks @ $1.25
4 Green Giant Steamers @ $1.20
12 Krusteaz Pancake Mix @ $1.15

Used:

(12) -$0.50/1 Krusteaz Pancake Mix 8/22/2010 Smart Source Insert (exp 11/30/2010

(12) -$0.50/1 Yoplait Fiber One Yogurt 9/12/2010 General Mills Insert (exp 11/6/2010)

(18) -$2/1 Smart Balance Milks 9/12/2010 Red Plum Insert (exp 10/27/2010)

(4) Green Giant Veggie Printables for $0.50/1

Total Spent: $15.69
Total Saved: $116.94
Total Items: 46

Send Your Expired Coupons to the Military! (Thanks for the Reminder, Lee!)

This article was found at The Krazy Coupon Lady website:



Did you know that overseas military members and their families can use expired coupons up to six months past their expiration? Families living in a far away country are often living on one income and money may be scarce. Let’s support our military by showing them some coupon love! KCL’s, we want to come together and pool our expired coupons to send to US military families in Japan!

Eligible Coupons:

•COUPONS MUST BE CLIPPED AND SORTED, AS EXPLAINED BELOW.
•Do NOT send coupons that are over 30 days expired.
•Do NOT send store coupons.
•ALL manufacturer coupons are eligible: printable, blinkies, peelies (if that’s the way you roll), tear pads in addition to newspaper coupons–
•They must be Manufacturer Coupons.
How do I send the Coupons?

Separate your clipped coupons into two categories: Food and Non-Food
Most bases have 2 stores. One is called the “Commissary” which is a grocery store and the other is the PX or BX which is a department store. We therefore ask you to sort the coupons into “food” and “non-food” bundles so that they can more easily be placed in the correct venue once they arrive at the base.

Label the Bundles

Try to use a baggie to separate your coupons instead of paper clips or rubber bands.

What’s Food & Non-Food?

Here’s the rule of thumb: It’s food if it can be eaten by humans, is usually eaten by humans, and is normally eaten to provide calories. For example, dog & cat food would be “Non-Food,” but Ensure or Slim-Fast would be “Food.” Vitamins would be non-food. Chewing Gum and Mints are food.

Is there a minimum donation?

No! Please send any coupons you may have. We only ask that you mail them only once a month. It will just be easier business this way!

NEW ADDRESS FOR MAILING COUPONS:

KCL Overseas Coupon Program
Carly Romano
11357 Visby Ave
Port Charlotte, FL 33981

Packages received with insufficient postage will be returned to sender.

A Few Ways to Donate for Free or Pocket Change: Wal-Mart (starting 9/16)

Here are just a few ways to donate to your local food bank or stock up on some items you need for your own household if you are a Wal-Mart shopper!

I am not sure about you, but it seems like the biggest hassle to use coupons at any Wal-Mart. I've heard it from several others too, in fact, a new chapter of "Clipping for a Cause" in Mississippi was basically accused of trying to steal items b/c of using a coupon-CORRECTLY! In my opinion, there seems to be an overall lack of training with Wal-Mart employees and coupon usage. I would shop there more if they made it easier and more enjoyable. Sorry to vent! Here's the list:

Betty Crocker Pouch Potatoes $.88
$.40/1 9/12 Smart Source
Final Price= $.48

Hormel Chili 15 oz Cans $.96
$.50/2 9/12 Smart Source

"Coupon Clipping Craze May Be Slowing" Article on MSNBC.Com Today

Thought I would share this article with all of you. I found it interesting, considering I would have thought the exact opposite! It seems like there is always a line of us at the checkout with our stacks of coupons, pumped about all of our wonderful deals and savings! Let me know what you think about it!


By Allison Linn, senior business writer

Call us recessionistas, frugalistas or just plain cheap: The weak economy has forced American shoppers to look hard for good deals.

But perhaps we are tiring of all the effort that goes into penny-pinching. Coupon use, which surged in 2009, appears to have flattened out, according to the coupon processing company Inmar.

Inmar tracks the use of traditional coupons clipped out of newspaper inserts or printed off the Internet and redeemed for consumer goods such as diapers and milk. The figures do not include hotel or restaurant coupons or discount vouchers of the type popularized by Groupon.

Use of coupons grew just 1 percent in the second quarter of this year, compared with a whopping 33 percent increase in the same quarter of 2009, according to the latest Inmar figures provided to Life Inc.

Coupon clipping faded during the early 2000s but enjoyed a huge resurgence in 2009. Americans redeemed 3.3 billion coupons for consumer goods that year, a 27 percent increase over the 2.6 billion redeemed in 2008.

That may partly have been because there were more coupons available. Inmar says 367 billion coupons were distributed in 2009, the most in at least 20 years.

This year, companies aren’t as coupon-happy, with the number of coupons available down 6 percent in the second quarter from a year earlier.

When it comes to coupon use, consumers seem more interested in deals on bread and cheese rather than paper goods or sandwich bags. Coupon usage for food items grew 11 percent in the second quarter, while non-food items fell by 17 percent.

Thanks to MediaPost, which first reported the story.

Rite Aid $5 Off $25 Printable Today Only:

If you shop at Rite Aid or your store considers Rite Aid a competitor, make sure you visit the Red Plum website today to print your coupon for $5/$25 purchase! I recently discovered (better late than never) at my favorite local Publix, that they will allow you to use two of these if your total is $50 or more. I realize that not every store is the same, but it's definitely worth asking as you could potentially receive $10 off of a $50 purchase! Click here to print your coupon!
