Cheap M&Ms at CVS!

This week (until 01/30) Buy $20 worth of M&Ms (all varieties, only the bags that are around 11-12 oz., not jumbo bags) get $10 extra bucks. I bought 7 bags of peanut butter and 1 dark which came to $24. I used 4 $1/2 coupons that I found in one of those dispensers in the snack aisle which brought my total to $20. That makes it $1.25 a bag after the $10 extra buck! These bags of M&Ms retail for $3.99 each.

Free Fruit2O at Bigy!

If you can get your hands on the coupon $.75/1 18 oz. or 6 pack of Fruit2O the 18 oz. will be free with the coupon doubled at BigY. The coupons don't expire until 3/31/10 so there is lots of time to stock up! They are probably free at Stop and Shop as well because they also double coupons but I don't know the regular price so I can't confirm they will be free with coupon.

50% off Old Navy clearance ends tomorrow!!

4 Stayfree BOGO $7.98-2 BOGO coupons $7.98=FREE!!

Whenever I buy BOGOs with BOGO coupons at Rite Aid I buy something really small so the total won't be zero. If your total is zero for a transaction at that store, the cash register will prompt the cashier for a code from the manager and it's a big pain to wait for the manger to come put in the code.

Where are you getting your Marcal single roll toilet paper?

My BigY normally carries the single rolls but the last two times I've gone there haven't been any and there is no space for them. I'm trying to find another source for getting them with the free coupons. Please let me know if any of you know where to find them. I've gotten so used to paying nothing for my t.p.!!

Where are my awesome coupons?

Looks like I will be getting the Stayfree BOGO and Nivea lip BOGO coupons off ebay because they weren't in my inserts. No Electrasol/Quantum $2.50/1 coupons and I already have a stockpile and it's not worth spending the $5 (cheapest on ebay) to go through the hassle of using Register Rewards at Walgreens to get them free. No Welch's jelly coupons. We use the squeezable grape jam to cover my son's seizure meds on bread twice a day and go through at least one a week so I will also be getting these off ebay. I will still be buying at least ten newspapers because my inserts had $1/1 V8 Vfusion coupons (not available on ebay and I go through about 2 a week making popsicles for my kiddos), Campbell's Harvest selects and $1/1 Lysol wipes, $1/1 Baked Lays (hubby's favorite), B2GO Free and $2/$10 Soyjoy coupons amongst others.

Were any of you disappointed with the coupons you got in your inserts?

**UPDATE**

We just got a $50 gift card for Stop and Shop from a friend for Christmas so I decided it makes more sense to get coupons that can be doubled in a higher quantity of coupons for less than it would cost to buy the newspapers and use the gift card to buy those items. So it's only one Sunday newspaper for me this week.

Buying multiple newspapers for coupons vs. buying lots of coupons on ebay

I have done both. I prefer buying multiple newspapers every Sunday that there are good coupons. I buy a minimum of 5 newspapers. If there are a lot of really good coupons I will buy 10 or more newspapers on Sunday. My CVS sells them for $1.50. When I run errands on Sunday and flip extra bucks I buy newspapers at my local one, then the next town over and back to my local one I can use my green bag tag for each trip and you get a $1 extra buck for every fourth use of the tag.

One big advantage of buying multiple newspapers on Sunday is that you have the coupons immediately and can jump on sales that might be sold out by Monday. It's also just cheaper. Most Sunday newspapers have at least 2-3 coupon inserts and the total value of the coupons outweighs the $1.50 per paper price.

I still occasionally get coupons from ebay only if they are something that is never in the newspaper. For example I get $4 off any size Iams cat food and $3 off any size Arm and Hammer cat litter coupons because they never have anything of that high value in the Sunday paper or as an internet printable.

How do you get your Sunday paper coupons?
