Movie Ticket Promo still going on!

I LOVE when we get free movie tickets for buying groceries! When they did this promotion last year I got 12 free movie tickets. My husband and I had free dates for months! I picked up 2 movie tickets in the last sale but to my surprise the promotion is still going on until May 6th! So ladies, let's do ourselves a favor and stock up on dates!!! Every 10 Kellogg items you buy you'll get 2 movie tickets. So even when these items are only 3 star items you gotta realize that your getting $24.00 worth of movie tickets with them. The following are the items you can mix and match with their star value this week.
*****Kelloggs cereal (from what I understand it's any cereal)
**** Kelloggs poptarts
*****Kelloggs cereal bars (rice krispie treats too)
the items below are not on sale this week but if you need to get a few more items to add to 10 you can use these also!
*** Kelloggs fruit flavored snacks
*** Keebler cookies
*** Keebler crackers
*** Sunshine cheez-it crackers
So, getting 6 Sunday papers, I figured this is what i'd do for my movie tickets...
6 boxes of kelloggs cereals - Free
6 boxes rice krispy treats - $ 9.00
4 boxes of Raisin Bran (printable coupons) - $2.46
4 boxes of Pop Tarts - $3.96
Total $15.42
4 free movies tickets worth up to $48.00!!!
That is not a bad deal!!! I know it's quite a bit of junk food, but let's get real ladies, summer is just around the corner and it's nice to have treats in the cupboards for all kinds of events like baseball treats, neighbor kids telling you they're hungry, and day trips out and about. Make sure you seperate your transacations and we'll see you at the movies!!!

31 Cents Ice Cream tonight!

Tonight is 31 cent scoop night from 5pm-10pm at all Baskin Robbins! So after all the baseball games, homework, dinner, and whatever else you do, bring your family on down to your local store for a yummy cheap treat! For $1.86 I can get 6 ice cream cones for my entire family! Go HERE for more info.

CVS and VON's!!

Hey Las Vegas Gals!! Introducing the newest stores on your list...CVS and Vons!!! We have been working very hard to get these store lists up and going. A quick 411, Vons store ads run the same time as Smiths and Albertson from Wed to Tues. CVS runs the same as Walgreens, from Sunday to Saturday. If your just starting to shop at CVS, my advice is to start small. It can be complicated, but will save you tons! If any of you have friends or family in Nevada, give them the Nevada passport... g89cjg to get in! I am more than happy to go to Nevada for a class if you know anyone who is interested, pass it along!

Happy Shopping!

Albertsons sale April 29th-May 5th

Check out this LINK to preview this Wednesday's sale. Looks like some good buys but a little bit of a breather week for me! Happy Shopping!

My Albertsons trip this week!

I am a procrastinator by nature, so I was really worried this morning heading to Albertsons thinking they were gonna be out of everything I wanted. But to my surprise I found about 90% of my items in stock!!! My store is really trying hard to stock up for these sales because of all our complaining, Good job ladies! So I saved a bundle today, as you can see I stocked up quite a bit cause it's been at least 2 weeks since i've been to the store. Here are copies of my receipts, hopefully you can see them!

Total value of purchase $251.89

Total Saved! $170.19

Total Spent $81.70

Percentage Saved 67%

That was a great shopping trip! My favorite buy this week would have to be Fiber One granola bars (My family loves these!) 0.15 cents and some were $1. Also Go Lean Crunch 2 pack for $3.49 plus free Soy milk peelie attached for $3.79, (Free Milk). But what I love the most is my 2 free movie tickets valued at $24.00 on top of all this savings! Wow what a steal! Isn't shopping fun!!!

Stay tuned for the new list for this week coming soon!

Savings Cards

I'm gonna give you a few great reasons to use your Albertsons Preferred card and your Smiths Fresh Values card. First, every $50.00 you spend at Albertsons you get $0.05 cents off per gallon of gas. I didn't know too much about the gas rewards cause us here in St. George just recently got a pump in Santa Clara so when I was in the neighborhood last week my gas light came on in my van. I thought I'd try Albertsons gas and use my preferred card to see what kind of a reward I could get. Would you believe I had accumulated enough savings on my card that I received $1.35 off per gallon!!! I paid $0.73 cents a gallon! My entire van cost $12.09 to fill up! That was a savings of $22.14! I don't shop at Smiths all that often but I'm aware they have a very similar rewards program. Check out my receipt below, sorry it's kinda fuzzy.

Another reward I receive from Albertsons and Smiths are the coupons in the mail. Just recently I got a booklet full of $5.00 off your next purchase of $30.00. There were 4 of these coupons plus 2 double coupons. Total value of $22.00. I get these every few months or so. They are awesome!!!

So if these 2 example aren't reason enough, check out the community Partners link HERE! When you enter your schools number (ask your school for this number),and link it to your preferred card, they give our schools a portion of what we spend at their stores! It's so easy! Plus check out the UPromise link for additional college savings for your kids! Last bit of advice. Check to make sure your address and info are correct on your savings cards you use. Especially if you've moved recently, update your info with Customer service or online HERE.

Tips for the sale this week!

Just wondering if anyones been to Albertsons yet? I would love to hear how the stores are stocked up and your success. This will help all of us! Just FYI, on the ConAgra Promo where you get $10 OYNSO when you spend $25. Make sure you seperate your transactions when you do more than one. On the Kraft promo you do not need to seperate your $10. You will get $4 for every $10 you spend. On the Kellogg's movie ticket promo you also need to seperate your transactions. For every 10 items you will only get 2 movie tickets per transaction. I hope lots of you will leave comments with your experiences from this week, good or bad. Let's hope they're all good ones!!!
