Great Deals I Got Yesterday

I usually wait until after getting the Sunday paper to shop for the weekend, but I had some time and ran out yesterday, and here are the best deals I got (REMINDER: grocery store sales are from Wednesday to Tuesday typically, so get out there by Tuesday if you want these!):

Foodland
* Post Selects Cereals - regularly $7.29 (which is why they're seldom seen in my house!), on sale for $3.99, coupon from the paper for $1 off 2. $3.49 ea.
* Yoplait Kids Yogurt (same as regular minus some sugar, plus Dora on the box) - reg. $4.79, on sale for $2.50 ea., coupon from coupons.com for $0.40 off. $2.10 ea.

The magic of eCoupons

Yesterday I briefly mentioned shortcuts.com and cellfire.com. For the uninitiated, these are sights where you can register your grocery club card (here in the islands the only participating chain I know of is Safeway) and load coupons onto your card, so that when you scan it at check out you automatically save $. The lovely thing about this is these e-coupons are totally stackable with paper coupons and other e-coupons. AND they tend to have the same coupons available as coupons.com.

An example:
This morning I needed some yogurt. Yoplait cups, regularly $1.29 ea., were on sale at Safeway for $0.80, or $0.60 ea if you buy a min 10. There was an e-coupon from cellfire.com for $0.50 off 6, an e-coupon for $0.60 off 6 from shortcuts.com, and a printable coupon for $0.50 off 6. All 3 were accepted, so I paid $4.40 for $12.90 worth of yogurt.

It's easy, it adds up. Do it weekly - there's always new ones!

One last thing - don't forget to check out Half Price Deals weekly! Salem Communications offers new gift certificates for half off every Wednesday at 9:00am. This week - Senor Frogs! W00T! Anybody wanna margarita on me? There's are lots of other deals available, so check it out!!!

Coupon available from Hawaiian Airlines

Yeah, I know, I know, I need to blog more faithfully. I got a couple of KILLER deals this weekend at both Foodland and Safeway. But real quick I wanted to let you know about an eCoupon available through Hawaiian. You'll need to have your Hawaiian Miles number handy, then click here to save 10%-20% on travel booked through December.

Incidentally, I found this out by following HA on Twitter. If you don't already tweet, give it some serious consideration, my lovelies!
