For those of you that received the $1/2 Bic coupon in yesterdays paper head to Walgreens for 2 packs of FREE pens. Walgreens is running their Bic Ultra Round Stic Grip Pens 2/$1. I did get some yesterday while my Mom and I were in Ft.Wayne Shopping. I will be getting some more today as do not see another use for these coupons.

Right now McCall's Patterns are offering a Free Pattern. Okay well they are not completely FREE because you do have to pay shipping & Handling which for those of you in the US is $4 for 1-3 patterns. Which if you sew is a pretty good deal. Not the best deal, but decent. If you don't have a place near you that has sales on patterns you could possibly pick one up cheaper than you would be able to elsewhere, like Wal-Mart.



This is the one I got, mainly for the corset. Not that I will be making it soon. I need to up my sewing skills before I will be able to make it, and also the boning is more than I want to pay for right now. So it will wait.

Thanks MOM for reminding me about the Cheerios Challenge. If you would like to receive $6 worth of coupons form Cheerios you can go here and sign up.
It does take a little time to load the video so be patient.

Go here and enter for your chance to win. The first 10,000 to respond will get the FREE gift pack.

So this is what I have found for bargains this coming week at Kroger:

Kroger Cheese Singles - 2/$3
Kroger Large Eggs - 4/$5
Pillsbury Select Varieties of Refrigerated breads and Biscuits - 10/$10 - several different MQ coupons out there and sometimes they have peelies on the tubes
Keebler Chips Deluxe or Sandies Cookies - 1.88ea - $1/2 MQ from 8/3
Kelloggs Pop Tarts or Fruit Snacks - 1.79ea - each have $1/2 MQ from 8/3
Hunt's Snack Pack Pudding or Gelatin - 10/$10 - .30/2 I think from 7/27 - if your Kroger triples makes these very cheap!
Eckrich Pepperoni and 8oz Loaves (asst. varieties lunch meat) 10/$10 - .75/1 MQ
Eckrich Smoked Sausage asst. Varieties - BOGO - prices starting @ 3.99 - .75/1 MQ
Eckrich Bologna or Salami - BOGO - prices starting @ 3.19 - .75/1 MQ
Eckrich Deli Meat 20% off - .55/1 1/2# - Buy in 1/2# increments for the best deal

There are some other deals in this ad but I didn't think any were worth mentioning. Not a phenomenal week but the Eckrich deal with coupons is decent. If I see something else I will edit my post to reflect it.

At CVS I got this:
(2) Tide w/bleach 4.97 - 1.00/2 MQ
(2) Crest Multi 2.49 - (2) 1.00 MQ
(2) Colgate Advanced 2.99 - (2) 1.50 MQ (these were in the Past Months ALL YOU Mag)
(1) Children's Advil 5.79 - 1.00 IP here
(1) Covergirl Foundation - 8.99
(1) Covergirl Powder - 7.99 (used the BOGO coupon, but beware the cashier takes off the most expensive one because the register takes off the lower priced one. I paid $1for this because my cashier took 7.99 off and the register took 7.99 off. Or you can buy two of the same priced items.)
(1) Folgers twin pack 3.99 - not giving the ECB's so cashier price adjusted to 3.99
(2) Welchs Fruit Juice single serve 1.49
(1) Extreme Energy - 4.99 (not sure what I'm going to do with this, but it was FREE after ECB's)
Total before ECB'S and MQ (after BOGO)= $46.15

I used (2) $4/20 since my total was over $40 then I used the following ECB's
1.00, 2.00, 5.00, & 9.99 This brought my total to $7.69 I think this was pretty good! It is more than I usually spend at CVS though.
I got back the following ECB's:
$1 for Welchs
$5.79 for Advil (monthly deal looks as if I can get another)
$3 for Crest (1.50 ea)
$4.99 for Extreme Energy
$4 for Colgate (2 ea)
Total = $18.78 (so I made .79)

Finally after a very long time Meijer has updated their mealbox coupons!
I have not had a chance to really compare them to this weeks ad, but there are a lot of new ones that are very different form the previous ones.
They did however keep a few of thier old standbys like thier pasta sauce and fresh mushrooms. I hope they keep this up. I guess time will tell.
