Love This: CVS-The Moneymaker Giving Trip!

One of the blogs I follow, Saving and Giving, had a great post up yesterday on her moneymaking trip to CVS. The bonus: all of the items will be donated AND not one dime came out of her pocket! Please follow this link to see the coupon matchups for the above items. Thanks Jennifer!

Cheap Wacky Mac and Fab Laundry Detergent!

Carrie and Karla emailed me this morning with two great deals to stock up on or donate if the items aren't something you need or use! The first deal is for Wacky Mac pasta. Use the .40/1 coupon from 1/30 Smart Source and, if your store doubles, pay .19 for each bag! (This price is based on our local Publix which has them priced at .99 a bag.) The other deal is for Fab laundry detergent. Currently, this is BOGO at Publix for $3.99. When you use the $1.00/2 coupon from yesterday's Smart Source, it makes each bottle only $1.50 for 32 loads! OR.. if you have a filing system for your coupons saved the Smart Source insert from 10/3/2010, there is a .50/1 coupon making them only $1 each! That's a deal! If you are local and familiar with Family Promise of Gwinnett, they are completely out of laundry detergent. This would be a great way for you to add something to your cart this week for someone else in need!

303 Items. A Donation of $70. Saved: $309.00, Spent $68.77!

Two weeks ago, I was invited to my aunt's company, United Supply in Norcross, Georgia, to teach some of her co-workers how to start couponing. I enjoyed every single second. To be able to "pay-it-forward" for something that my neighbor taught me only 14 months ago is a feeling unlike any other! Before I left, they handed me a $70 donation for Clipping for a Cause that they had collected in the office. One of the employees asked for a picture and breakdown of what their monetary donation purchased, and as you can see, pictures are worth a thousand words!!!

Bayer Moneymaker at Publix! (Thanks Lee!)

Fellow Clipping for a Cause ministry member, Lee, stumbled across a great deal at Publix the other day! She found these booklets, "Health Look," at her Publix in the pharmacy section. There are great Publix coupons inside, including one for $2/1 Bayer Aspirin (exp. 2/28)

This coupon makes for a great deal and even overage if your store allows:

Bayer Low Dose Chewable 32 ct, $2.39
-$2/1 Bayer Asprin Publix Coupon Health Look Booklet
-$1/1 Bayer Low Dose or Bayer Aspirin Product 1/30/2011 Smart Source Insert (exp 4/30/2011)
-$1/1 Bayer Aspirin Low Dose or 325mg 1/2/2011 Smart Source Insert (exp 3/31/2011)

Thanks Lee!

Saved $170.79, Spent $67.08 (Personal Grocery Trip)

I LOVE the Italian Days sale at Publix! I look forward to stocking up on these particular items every year..at very little cost! Although it is hard to tell in the picture, I purchased between 50-60 canned goods yesterday! One of the best deals was 20 cans of the Hunt's tomato sauce for only $1.80 total! I hardly ever do it, but had to make an exception and go to two different stores yesterday. Who knew that the toilet paper being the penny item could get me so excited..my how times have changed!! I didn't do the coupon matchups for you this time, because most of the items pictured are included in the coupon matchups I did in this post a few days ago! Of course, I did have to add a few non-coupony things to the cart, like bananas, milk, celery, carrots, oh and that bag of Valentine's conversation hearts for .50 that caught my eye last minute! ;)
