Super Double Coupons Coming Up!


If you haven't yet heard, I am excited to announce that Super Double Coupon week will be coming up on Wednesday, January 4th at Harris Teeter!


Starting Wednesday and lasting through Tuesday night, January 10th, all coupons between $1.00-$1.99 will double in value. Normally, only coupons less than $1.00 double, however Super Double coupons week is very special in that your higher value coupons will have a chance to double. The limit is 20 coupons to double per day, so if you need to use more than that, you should go back another day.


I suggest starting now pulling all your $1.00-$1.99 coupons that you would like to use. I also suggest arranging them by department in the store to help with organization. I simply make piles on my living room floor or kitchen table once I have pulled all the coupons I'd like to use. See my older post, "How I Get Ready for Super Double Coupons Week" for details on how I prepare for special shopping events like this.

Also, don't forget to start printing coupons now, too. You can print some now and then print more on January 1st, since many will reset. See the left of my website and click, "See all coupons" to see all the options you have for printable coupons. There are many good ones on there, so be sure to print now before they sell out!


If you need to order any coupons, check EBAY. I often find great deals on specific coupons there.


Finally, remember your Sunday paper this Sunday, January 1st, because from what I hear there are sure to be lots of great coupons!

Easy CVS Zyrtec Money Maker


Have you seen this week's CVS ad? It came out on Monday and you have until Saturday night (Dec. 31st) to take advantage of some great deals.


According to this week's ad, Zyrtec (5 ct.) is on sale for $5.99. You pay $5.99 out of pocket for it, but if you use your CVS Extra Care Bucks card you will get an ExtraBucks reward for $5.99 back! You can use that $5.99 to buy anything else in the store. I plan to buy Theraflu with it, which is also on sale plus I have coupons.


To make the Zyrtec deal a money maker, you will need to also use a coupon. You can do the deal with no coupons at all, but if you can get your hands on a coupon for Zyrtec, that will make the deal even sweeter. I searched the Delly's Deals Coupon Database for Zytrec coupons and several came up. Here is a link to one on the Zytrec website for $2.00 off (there is also $4 off one but it's for a larger count than 5 count). If you use the $2 off coupon, you will only pay $3.99 out of pocket but you will still get back the full $5.99 Extra Care Buck reward, so you essentially made $2! I love Zyrtec for allergy season- around April/May/June, I can't live without it!


Also note that Theraflu is on sale and there have been a ton of matching coupons for Theraflu in the past couple of month's Sunday newspapers. Theraflu is on sale for $4.77 which is already a good price. If you buy two, you get $3 in Extra Care Bucks back. So, two would cost $9.54. I also have a coupon for $4 off two in my binder so that brings my out of pocket cost down to $5.54 for the Theraflu. I will then apply the $5.99 in ExtraBucks that I earned from my Zyrtec purchase which will make my Theraflu free. Not only is it free, but I will get $3 in Extra Care Bucks back after I pay for the Theraflu! I can either save the $3 for a future purchase or spend it now on something else in the store. 


As I always say, get your medicines BEFORE you are sick! If you wait until you are sick, you will surely pay full price for medicines that you could have gotten for FREE!

Don't Forget the Batteries

See bottom of post for two deals on batteries that are still going on this week!

I still remember those Christmases where my brothers and I woke up, opened our toys and were so excited to play with them- only to realize that my parents had forgotten the batteries!


When this occurred, we had two options and neither was pretty. We either waited until the next day to get to play with the toy OR my parents ran to the closest convenience store and grabbed batteries for about four or five times the normal cost.


Don't let this happen to you on Christmas Day! Batteries are one of those items that you can almost always find a deal on, provided you get them BEFORE you need them. I keep AA and AAA batteries on hand at all times. Then, I just buy them again when I see them go on sale. This way, I always have them and never have to rush to purchase more.


I love buying name brand batteries, too. They last longer and I've found that when I get them on sale and/or use coupons, they cost less than the store brand batteries. 


For example, I saw AA batteries at the Dollar Tree the other day, 2 in a pack for $1. I calculated that to get 16 it would cost me $8.00. These were definitely off-brand batteries, too, so no telling how long they last (I'm betting not long). 


During the last Super Double coupon week I got 6-8 count packs of Duracell AA batteries for free. I also use the coupons for Duracell that come in the Proctor and Gamble coupon insert each month for additional savings. Harris Teeter usually offers a digital coupon for batteries as well in their EVIC coupons.


Here are two deals going on for batteries right now:


Harris Teeter Saturday Special Dec. 24th only- 24 count AA or AAA batteries for $3.97 (Harris Teeter brand- I've used these before and they work well)



Staples- Get batteries basically free using your rewards card. Buy them now at full price (around $12 for 16 pack AA or AAA) and get the total price back on your rewards card in 4-6 weeks! You can then use that money to buy others things in Staples for free like printer ink, paper, running copies, etc.) I love doing that. This deal lasts through December 24th.


There is no need to overpay for batteries if you plan ahead! Don't get caught empty-handed on Christmas morning!

My Sweet CVS Deal on Medicine


There's nothing worse than waking up sick and realizing you have no medicine in your cabinets! Not only do you feel bad but you're going to go to the store (or send your hubby or wife) and pay whatever price you must to get some relief. This leads to overpaying since people often pay full price when they have to buy medicine immediately.


With cold season upon us, I recommend being proactive and buying medicine BEFORE you get sick and when they're on sale! When I need medicines, I go to the drugstore chains to get the good deals. Often they are running sales and it's easy to look through my binder for matching coupons. Also, you can use my coupon database to find coupons on specific medicines. For instance, tonight I wanted to price check Tylenol. So I went to my coupon database and typed "Tylenol" in the search bar. Sure enough, several printable coupons for Tylenol popped up and I printed two of them and put them in my binder. Now, it turns out that Tylenol wasn't on sale, so I saved the coupons in my binder in the medicines section and I will wait until a sale on Tylenol pops up before I use them.


Tonight I went to CVS and what was on sale was Triaminic, which, like Tylenol, is an acetaminophen based pain reliever for children. I happened to have 2 coupons, each for $3 off,  in my binder for Triaminic. Since it was on sale AND I had a coupon, I knew I was in business! This is where it pays not to be brand loyal, as I wanted Tylenol but since it wasn't on sale I went with a different name brand.
CVS was running a deal on Triaminic where it cost 2 for $12. With my two $3 off coupons, that would make it 2 for $6 ($3.00 a piece). 


They then had an Extra Care Bucks deal where if I bought two Triaminics I would get a $3 Extra Care Bucks reward back. So, I bought two and paid $6 plus tax out of pocket. I then got back a coupon for $3 to spend inside of CVS on something else.


I decided to do a second transaction so I could use my $3 rewards coupon to pay for my next purchase. I  grabbed some Theraflu warming relief severe cold medicine for my husband and I. Although we are not currently sick, I like having it around for when we do get sick. It was regular price $6.49 but I had a $3 off manufacturer's coupon from the Sunday paper a few weeks back. I also was able to use my $3 off extra care buck from the purchase of the Triaminic. That made my total $.49 for the Theraflu, which normally costs $6.49! What a great deal! I did have to pay $.45 tax, since the sales tax is configured on the original amount, not what I paid after coupons. Bummer.


So, in all I got 2 big 4 oz bottles of Triaminic children's pain reliever AND 1 Theraflu Severe Cold Medicine for my husband and I all for a total of $6.49 plus tax! Note that one CVS brand acetaminophen costs almost that much, so I know I'm getting a good deal because I got three name brand medicines for that price.




Also, with the holidays and holiday travel coming up, I do suggest keeping medicines in a plastic bag (I put my children's names on the bags, along with the dosage cups and syringes so they don't get lost). This way, when you travel, you can easily throw the medicines in your suitcases. Don't forget your medicines because it never fails that someone will get sick while you are out of town and sure enough you will head to the store and pay full price for medicines that are sitting at home in your cabinet!


If you want to get the deal I got on the Triaminic, it's going on through Saturday night at CVS, so you have all week! If you don't have the $3 off coupon, I did see a tearpad at Walgreens for $2 off of one Triaminic. It's a manufacturer's coupon so it can be used at any store, not just Walgreens.


Here's to a healthy holiday for us all!

Star News vs News and Observer: No Coupons til January!


You know Christmas and New Years is near when there are no more coupons! 


According to Southern Savers, there should not be any more coupons until January. I know this is disappointing to some of you, but take the time to clean out and organize your binders and oh, yes, RELAX and enjoy the holidays!


The good news is that when the coupons return in January, there are supposed to be lots of inserts filled with coupons!


Until 2012........I'll be doing posts here and there and also don't forget the Delly's Deals Coupon Binder drawing that's coming up on Wednesday evening! "Like" Dellys Deals on Facebook for your chance to win a Deluxe Couponing Binder of your choice, with all the accessories!

Delly's Deals Radio Show Notes- Weekly Deals, Trader Joe's coming, Coupon Binder Giveaway


Good morning!


This morning on the Delly's Deals radio show I talked about quite a few random deals and offers, including details on my coupon binder giveaway! Below is a synopsis, including links to the weekly grocery store deals!

 
Delly's Deals is giving away a Deluxe Coupon Binder for Christmas! I will be doing a drawing on Wednesday, December 21st around 6 p.m. from all members of my Facebook page and members of the Delly's Deals blog. If you are member of both, you get two entries! The Deluxe Delly's Deals binder comes with everything you need to be a savvy shopper and to save big bucks in the store. I'll even throw in some free coupons! The binder and all accessories is a $35 value to the winner.


Trader Joe's is coming to Wilmington on the corner of Oleander and College! They say they offer low prices all the time on their items and don't accept coupons. I've never shopped one but definitely plan to check it out once it's up and running!


Get Patnene Pro-V for $.50 at Harris Teeter when you buy two and use a $3.00 off digital coupon and a $3.00 off paper coupon. Deal lasts through Tuesday.


Smithfield Bacon (normally very expensive) is on sale at Harris Teeter. Get it for only $2.33 with the $1.00 off coupon.


Iams Dogfood is running a promo at Harris Teeter where you get $7 loaded onto your VIC card to spend for every $35 you spend on Iams through January 3rd, 2012.


Gain Laundry Detergent is on sale for $4.77 at Harris Teeter. Use a $1.00 digital coupon to make it only $3.77. This is better than the Sam's Club price, which is 9.4 per ounce which would make it $4.70 at Sams Club. So, it's more at Sams PLUS you have to buy a bigger quantity all at once!


I Am Day Spa and Salon is offering a deal where you buy three gift cards and get one free. Minimum is $.50 per card, so for example, buy $150 and get $200 worth with no limit. Keep in mind the savings over a year! Call 395-1335 for details or to take advantage.

Carolina Beach McDonalds has remodeled and is doing $.59 hamburgers and $.69 cheeseburgers today through 5 p.m.!

Have a great weekend and I'll see you tomorrow for the weekly newspaper coupon review!

Using SavingStar to Earn Money


SavingStar is a neat digital coupon service that I hope you will give a second look!


With SavingStar, you sign up online at their website at www.savingstar.com. After registering (very simple and easy) and entering your store savings card numbers, you can click coupons that will immediately go to your store shopper cards. They stay there until they expire (about 3-5 weeks). When you purchase those items, your savings will appear on your receipt but they will not come off your total bill. Instead, your savings will go to your account online with SavingStar and when you have at least $5, you can redeem the funds by requesting they be sent to Paypal (online bank) or you can get an Amazon.com gift certificate. There is also an option to donate the funds to American Forests. Either way, it really is like earning money without doing any extra work other than clicking the items you will buy.


The stores in our area (Wilmington, NC) that accept SavingStar coupons are: Harris Teeter, Lowes Foods, Food Lion, CVS and Rite Aid. Wal-Mart, Piggly Wiggly, and Walgreens were not listed on their website as stores that will accept the SavingStar digital coupons.


Sometimes SavingStar seems to go through periods where they don't have very many good coupons but I believe they are getting better. In fact, today I received an email saying they had added new coupons. Below are some of the great coupons that I clicked and added to my account:

$.50 off Pepperidge Farms Goldfish
$.40 off 3 Campbell's Condensed Soups
$1.00 off 2 Cheetos or Fritos
$1.00 off 2 Boursin Cheese Products
$1.00 off 2 Campbell's Kettle Soups
$1.00 off 2 V8 V-Fusion Juices
$.50 off Yo-Baby Organic Yogurt 4-pack
$.50 off Stonyfield Organic Yogurt
$1.00 off 1 Irish Springs Deoderant or Antiperspirant
$1.00 off 2 Eggbeaters
$1.00 off 2 Marie Callendars Fresh Flavor Steamers
$1.00 off Lowes Foods Cooking Oil
$.75 off Lowes Foods Grape Juice
$.50 off Jolly Time Microwave Popcorn

There are many more coupons, but I just wanted to list a few. Again, it's free and doesn't hurt anything for you to click on these. If you buy the items, you earn money!


Also, you can use paper coupons along with the SavingStar coupons, although SavingStar does not promote that.


You can also easily print a list of all coupons that you have clicked to keep in your binder. Just look to the upper right and click "print list."


I hope you will give SavingsStar a try!

Upcoming Workshops and Charity Workshop for Ms. Leia


Sorry that I have been missing in action! I've been busy delivering binder orders this weekend and through Tuesday but I plan to post more as I have wrapped up most of the deliveries.

I'd like to announce that I will be doing a charity couponing workshop on Tuesday, December 20th at 6:30 p.m. This is to raise funds for a young teacher at one of the schools where I teach- Ms. Leia.

She received treatment and all was well until this fall when the cancer returned to another part of her body. Now she is going back for more treatments. Children's Learning Center is hosting a charity workshop for her at the New Hanover Regional Hospital SEAHEC Auditorium. I will be teaching it and the cost is $10 with all proceeds going to a fund to help Ms. Leia pay the many medical bills she will have. 20% of binder and accessory sales will go towards the fund as well. Please pass the word around about this event. Not only will those who attend get great info on how to save money for their family, but you will all be helping Ms. Leia and her family as well. RSVP here or call me at 338-4875 for more info.


Finally, I want to announce some upcoming workshops via my Delly's Deals Consultant Program. These workshops are not taught by me, but rather local consultants who are also knowledgeable in couponing. They also have binders available for purchase at their events.

Burger King Free Fry Day!


I always feel somewhat guilty posting about fast food deals, but everyone deserves to treat themselves once in a while!


Burger King is doing a free french fry day on Friday, December 16th. They are doing this to introduce their new fries to the world!

No purchase is necessary but while you're there you may want to check out their delicious char-grilled burgers or their new soft serve ice cream (it's actually really good).


Save the date- this Friday!

Star News vs. News and Observer


This week my Wilmington Star News newspaper had 1 Smart Source insert and my Raleigh News and Observer paper had both 1 Red Plum insert and 1 Smart Source insert.


Let's start with the Raleigh paper. The Red Plum insert was small but contained some nice coupons, especially on medicine.  I liked the Millstaone coffee $2 off coupon in particular. It also included Meaty Bone, Pup-Peroni, Dial NutriSkin Lotions, Loreal Eye Products, Keebler Crackers, Crest Whitestrips, Oral-B Toothbrushes and Replacement Heads, Duracell Batteries, Head and Shoulders, Axe Shower Gel, Axe Bodyspray, Dimetapp, Sundown Vitamins, Advil Adult and Children's products, and Robitussin.


The Raleigh Smart Source was a tad bit thicker than the Wilmington Smart Source. Raleigh Smart Source had Cold Stone Creamery coupons, Pistachio nuts coupons, Pillsbury Coupons, Cinnabon coupons, Totinos Pizza Rolls, Progresso Soups, Heluva Good Sour Cream Dip, Green Giant Valley Fresh Steamers, Green Giant Frozen Boxed Vegetables, General Mills cereals, Chex Mix, Betty Crocker Cookie Mis, Betty Crocker Cake Mix and Frosting, Carolina Pride Bacon and Sausage, Duke's Mayonnaise, Dixie Crystals Sugar, Sorrento Homestyle Shred Mozzarella, Covergirl, Mazola Corn Oil, Poise Pads, Poise Hourglass Shape Pads, Prevacid, Loreal Paris Youth Code Products, Jolly Time Blast O Butter, Arm and Hammer Spinbrush Products (and a rebate), Buddig Original Deli Meat, Pure Moist Disinfecting Solution, Mucinex, Benefiber, International Delight Creamer, Dentek Products, Allens Canned Products, Cepacol, Treasure Cave Cheese, Reese's or Hershey's Kisses.


My Wilmington paper only had a Smart Source insert, similar to the Raleigh Smart Source but a little smaller. It contained coupons for: Cold Stone, Pillsbury, Cinnabon coffee, Totinos Pizza Rolls, Progresso Soups, Pistachio nuts, Dixie Crystals Sugar, Sorrento Cheese, Grean Giant Valley Steamers, Green Giant Frozen Vegetables, General Mills Cereals, Chex Mix, Betty Crocker Cookie Mix, Betty Crocker Cake Mix and Frosting, Cover Girl, Duke's Mayonnaise, Centrum Pro Nutrients, Centrum, Dentek, Cepacol, Jollytime Butter, Carolina Pride Bacon and Sausage, Target Purina Coupon, Benefiber.


So, as you can see, the Raleigh paper had two inserts, and the Raleigh Smart Source has more coupons than the Wilmington Smart Source. I would definitely shoot for only buying the Raleigh paper  if you can find it this morning.


Finally, note the Dixie Crystals Sugar coupon from both Smart Source inserts. It is for $.55 off and the sugar is on sale this week for $1.97 EVIC special for Harris Teeter. After the coupon doubles, the sugar only costs $.87 for a four pound bag. This is definitely the time of year to stock up on sugar!


Until next week.........

Delly's Deals Radio Show Notes- Weekly Deals, Food Trends, Snapfish, Schick Razor Deals


Today on the Delly's Deals Radio show I will be talking about food trends for 2012 and sharing a variety of deals, posted below.


Schick Razor Deal- Buy two (specially marked packages) and get a FREE $10 ITunes Gift Card. I did this yesterday at Harris Teeter Mayfaire, used two $2 off coupons and a $2 off digital coupon. Ended up paying $12 and got the $10 gift card for my hubby. So, it's almost like paying $2 for the razors!


Read this article highlighting food trends for 2012. Trends include rising food prices, more male shopping and cooking participation, and more cooking at home.


Snapfish is running a deal where you can buy 1 photo book and get 2 free! These make awesome, thoughtful Christmas gifts. Check out the deal here. Enter the code DECBOOKS to get the deal through December 15 (next Thursday).



Staples is running their battery promo through December. Don't miss out! Get 100% back on your purchase of 16 packs of AA and AAA batteries. You can get 2 packs each week but must use your Staples rewards card. The rebate check will come in your e-mail in about a month. I do this all the time and use the money to buy printer ink or other necessities from Staples.



Brawny Paper towels are on EVIC special right now at Harris Teeter. They're on sale for $5.47, but after coupon (print from my website- see left) for $.55 off doubles, you pay only $3.47 for 6 rolls! Great deal, because at $.72 a roll, you really can't beat that price.


Don't forget- Delly's Deals workshop today at 1 p.m. at NE Regional Library Pine Room, 1241 Military Cutoff Road- RSVP here. Only $10 but includes $30 in free coupons, guidebook, refreshments, and tons of great info! Also, I will have the exclusive Delly's Deals couponing binders available for purchase. See post.


Have a great weekend!

Neat and Easy Vanity Cups, Plates, Napkins, and Bowls Deal

 I bought two packs of Vanity Fair Napkins, a pack of bowls and
a pack of plates for $1.80 yesterday at Harris Teeter.


Yesterday at Harris Teeter I saw lots of great sales and coupon match-ups! I think this Vanity paper products deal might be one of the best from this week.


Harris Teeter is running a promo where you get FREE Vanity Fair Plates or Bowls if you buy a package of Vanity Fair Napkins (40 or 100 count).


So, I bought a pack of Napkins so that I could get a pack of plates for free. Even better is the fact that the napkins are on sale for only $2.00 and you still get the free plates or bowls.


Even better is the fact that I had a coupon for $.55 off one pack of Vanity Fair Napkins, which doubled to $1.10. So, I paid $2.00-$1.10, which is $.90 for the Napkins and also got a pack of plates for FREE!!!


I had two of the coupons, so I did the deal twice and paid a total of $1.80 for two packs of napkins, a pack of plates, and a pack of bowls. That was a great deal!


Worth noting is that not even the Dollar Store can beat those prices! I often buy my paper products by waiting for sales and promos such as this, so I tend to get a better deal at the local grocery store than I would by shopping at WalMart or Dollar tree.


Click here to see details on the promo. Need a coupon for The Vanity Fair Napkins? Coupons came out in the Sunday newspaper back on October 23rd, but if you don't have that coupon, there is one you can print for $1.00 off 2 on the left of my blog. Click "See all coupons" and click "household products" to see it. You can print up to two. The $1.00 off 2 will get you 2 packs of napkins and 2 packs or plates or bowls for only $3. Still a great deal.

If you did not order one but would like one, I will have extras, so come on by!


The new binders feature a sturdy handle, BIG 2-inch ring to hold tons of insert pages, an inside mesh pocket, and a roomy front pocket to hold extra coupons. Choose from zebra or floral pattern.


There are different price options for every budget but overall, the binders are an EXCELLENT deal.

Pricing:
Binder Alone: $20

Basic Binder Kit
Binder plus 25 9-pocket coupon insert pages (holds 225 coupon)- $25

Deluxe Binder Kit
Binder plus 25 9-pocket coupon insert pages, 3 3-pocket pages, 3 4-pocket pages, 3-one pocket pages, 8 pre-labeled color coded tab dividers, scissors, calculator, 2 pens, meal planning and price tracker sheets- $35

Thank you to everyone for your patience while we worked through the backorder. I am happy to say that we are now fully stocked and will have plenty of binders for the coming months.

Finally, if you love couponing and are interested in earning extra cash and free product, I am looking for independent sales reps to work with Delly's Deals, particularly if you are outside of Wilmington, NC (I already have a few reps here). This would be a great way to earn some side income in a fun way and on your own schedule! Contact me at delly@dellysdeals.com for more details.

Pantene Pro-V for 29 cents per bottle!



Christina P., from the Delly's Deals Facebook page shared an awesome deal that you can get at Food Lion that makes Pantene Pro-V only $.29 per bottle. Since the sales change tonight, if you want this deal you may need to get it today!


Pantene is on sale at Food Lion for $3.29 each. Proctor and Gamble is running a promo where if you spend $12 you get an automatic $3 off your total order.


So, Christina bought four bottles which totaled $13.16. She then got $3 off her total order, bringing her total down to $10.16.


Next she used a Food Lion Digital coupon (available online at Food Lion's website here) for $3 off two bottles. This brought the total down to $7.16.


She then used two coupons from the December Proctor and Gamble coupon insert, each being $3 off 2 bottles. Since she bought four bottles, she was able to redeem both coupons, saving her $6! That brought the total down to only $1.16 for ALL FOUR BOTTLES! That is $.29 per bottle.


What a great deal- thank you so much for sharing, Christina!


Keep in mind, too, that even if you don't use Pantene, this is a great time of year to donate items to those in need. Shampoo is always a welcome donation and at $1.16 for four bottles, it certainly doesn't break the bank!

Star News vs. News and Observer

This week my Raleigh paper had one thick Smart Source insert and my Wilmington paper had two smaller inserts- a Smart Source and a Red Plum.


I'll start with the Wilmington Red Plum insert. It was paper-thin! There seemed to be more ads than coupons in it. I did see some fast food coupons for Subway, Hardees, and Dunkin Donuts. As for grocery coupons, there were Soft Pretzel, Folgers, Rhodes Bread, Loreal Shampoo and hair treatments, All Laundry Detergent, and Scope. Except for the All and the B1G1 free Subway coupons, there wasn't much to be excited about in my opinion.


Both papers had a Smart Source insert, with the Raleigh paper having a thicker Smart Source. The Raleigh Smart Source insert had coupons for Reynolds Parchment Paper, Krusteaz Muffin Mix, Hills Bros Cappuchino Mix, Campbells Soup and Spaghetti-Os, Cuties Oranges, Shick Razors, Shave Gel, Edge, and Skintimate, various Pillsbury, Corn Chex, Pom, Snyders Pretzels, Kleenex Hand Towels, Scott Bath Tissues, Carolina Pride Sausages, Sauer's Rub Griller or Marinade, John Freida, Luster White, Solo Cups, Plates or Bowls, Nancy's Frozen Appetizers, Kleenex tissues, Target frozen food coupon, Curel, Efferdent, TGI Fridays frozen meal, Smithfield Bacon, Scotch Brite Wipes, Neutrogena, Jergens, Colgate, Similasan, Gas X, Excedrin, Triaminic, Theraflu, Boston Market, Fleischman's Yeast, Karo or Argo Products, Sunsweet Diced Plums, Werther's Originals, Zegerid, MiraLax, Purina Snacks, K-Y Products, Bronkaid, Neo-Synephrine, Ziploc bags and containers, and Glade Products, Starter Logs, and Chuck-e-Cheese. Overall I was impressed with the selection and VALUE of the coupons in this insert, many being high value coupons that will double or that already were high.


The Wilmington Smart Source was a little smaller than the Raleigh Smart Source. It  had the Pillsbury coupons, Corn Chex, Shick, Edge and Skintimate Shave gels, Scott bath tissues, a Family Dollar Scott towel or tissue, Kleenex Hand Towels, Campbells, Jergens, Efferdent, Spaghetti Os, Carolina Pride Sausages, Sauer's Griller or Marinade, Similasan, Scotch-Brite, John Freida and Neutrogena, Smithfield Bacon, Snyders Pretzels, Reynold's Parchment Paper, Hills Bros Cappuchino, and Neutrogena Face Make-up and Chuck-e-Cheese. Missing were the Nancys, Solo Cups, Purina and Target coupons but the Wilmington paper had a few that were not in the Raleigh paper such as Longhorn coupons, Celestial Seasonings tea, and Samurai Asian Products coupons.

In summary, I think both papers had a good variety of coupons. If you want coupons for some local food places, don't miss the Star News this week. Personally, I suggest one of each newspaper today if you can get your hands on both. I bought two Raleigh and one Wilmington paper.


Until next week!

Delly's Deals Radio Show Notes- Weekly Deals,Food Lion Gift Card Deals and Sam's Club Comparison



This week on the Delly's Deals Radio Show I will be sharing the weekly grocery deals, along with some special deals going on right now with regards to pre-purchasing gift cards.


Food Lion Deals
Harris Teeter Deals
Lowes Foods Deals


Food Lion Gift Cards Deal (earn $10 for every $50 bought)


RSVP Restaurant Gift Card Deal (Buy 2 for $50 and get one FREE!) 
(Thanks, Whitney for this tip)!


Sams Club Price Comparisons:


Food Lion is having a three day sale on Bounty, Charmin and Tide. I decided to compare those prices to what you would pay for comparable items at Sam's Club.


Food Lion Tide Orignal Scent- 50 oz for $4.99 which is 9.9 cents per ounce (225 ounces would cost you $13.45 versus $25.48 for 225 ounces at Sam's Club! That's a difference of $12.03 less from Food Lion. Keep in mind that the selection is greater at Food Lion, too and you don't have to buy as much at once. That Food Lion price doesn't even count you using coupons. If you use a coupon, the savings would be even greater.


Food Lion Bounty Paper Towels- $4.99 for 6 rolls ($.83 per roll)
Sams Club Bounty Paper Towels- $19.48 for 12 rolls ($1.62 per roll)
If you wanted 12 rolls at Food Lion it would cost you $9.98 versus $19.48 at Sams Club! Big difference, again, in favor of Food Lion. Granted, Sams says their rolls are bigger, but even accounting for that, the price was still less at Food Lion.


Food Lion Charmin Toilet paper- $5.99 for 12 rolls of Charmin ($.49 per roll)
Sams Club Charmin Toilet paper- $22.37 for 12 rolls of Charmin ($.62 per roll)
If you wanted 36 rolls at Food Lion, it would cost you $17.97 versus $22.37 at Sam's Club! That's a difference of $4.40 in favor of Food Lion again.


As you can see, warehouse clubs are RARELY the best deal and they often cause you to spend more at once, not to mention the membership fees. Sams Club does not take coupons here in Wilmington.


Until next week!

Make FREE Money By Buying Gift Cards!


Not only are restaurants offering holiday gift card deals, but so are several grocery chains!


Last week I posted about the Lowes Foods gift card deal. If you buy any combination of participating gift cards totalling $50, you will receive $5 off your next shopping order. According to the Lowes Foods website, participating card are Lowe's Hardware, Olive Garden, Kohl's, JC Penny, Red Lobster, Aeropostale, and iTunes. This deal actually ends on Saturday, December 3rd, so you only have one more day to get it!


However, the Food Lion gift card deal is even better and you have until December 13th to get it! If you buy any combination of $50 in gift cards from Food Lion, you will receive $10 off your next shopping trip! According to the Food Lion website, you can use any combination of available gift cards to qualify for the deal. Some of the cards listed included Lowes Hardware, ITunes, Bass Pro Shop, Office Max, Cracker Barrel, and Red Lobster, but they said others were available.


Keep in mind that even if you don't give gift cards away to others, if you shop at any of the participating stores throughout the year, it would be wise to pre-purchase some gift cards for when you WILL shop there, just to get the $10 grocery shopping money. For example, if you tend to buy clothes from JC Penny, go ahead and give yourself a clothes budget and buy $50 in gift cards now so you can get the $10 in free money from Food Lion. It says one coupon printed per transaction, so if you wanted $200 in gift cards from JC Penny, split up your order and pay $50 worth at a time until you get to $200 and you would get $40 in grocery money from Food Lion! Not only would you get the free grocery money but you'd already have your clothes budget for next year. 

You could even use the JC Penny gift cards to do your holiday shopping. Instead of paying with cash or credit card for your Christmas gifts go ahead and buy the JC Penny gift cards from Food Lion for your holiday shopping. That way, you will also earn the free grocery money!


I am not currently aware of any deals like this going on at Harris Teeter, but if you are, let me know!

Christmas Tree Deals


Have you gotten your Christmas tree, yet?


Someone on my Facebook page asked me for the best place to get one. Today I posted on Facebook asking everyone to share where they got their tree and how much they paid for it. Post here as well, so we can all get an idea of the prices people are paying and where to get the best deal.


I bought my tree this year from Food Lion. It is a 6-7 foot Fraser Fir and it cost us $29.99 + tax. That is the best price I've seen so far and we are very pleased with the tree! It is full and a lot bigger in our home than it seemed when we picked it up. The trees always seem little to me until I actually put it into the house.


Where did you find your Christmas tree?

Star News vs. News and Observer!



There is supposed to be one Proctor and Gamble monthly insert in the paper today and possibly Walmart and Target coupons.

However, early this morning, I went to three locations- Harris Teeter Ogden, Kangaroo and Hess and none of the newspapers had coupons! Oddly enough, the Wilmington Star News said that it had $69.50 worth of coupons inside but I looked in many papers and none contained coupons. This also happened last week with the Raleigh paper, so I'm not sure what's going on.


I have heard that you can get the Proctor and Gamble insert for free from the local AdPack and Encore Magazines, if you know where they are located around town. They tend to be in restaurants, coffee shops and local type establishments.


I don't plan on any goose chases searching for the Proctor and Gamble inserts; most likely I will just order it online, either from Whole Coupon Inserts or from EBAY. Coupons can generally be purchased there for less than $1 plus a small shipping fee.


Another idea is to check this list of what coupons were in the Proctor and Gamble insert today. You may only want certain coupons from it, rather than the complete insert. If that's the case, individual coupons can be obtained on EBAY or from Coupon Dede or Kuntry Klippers, so that you only buy the coupons you actually want.


Let me know if your newspaper had the Proctor and Gamble insert today!

Delly's Deals Radio Show Notes- Weekly Deals, Restaurant Gift Card Deals and Sunday Paper Reminder!


This morning on the Delly's Deals Radio show I will be talking about Budgeting for Eating Out and how you can use Restaurant Gift Card Deals to help you with your budget for eating out. I will also share with you any weekly grocery deals that I have found.


How I Got My Thanksgiving Turkey for Almost Free (post from November 22nd)


Restaurant Gift Card Deals- click for a list of bonus gift card deals from restaurants. Buy your gift cards in advance and get bonus gift card for doing so. These are a great way to get more bang for your buck at restaurants. Often you can combine these with coupons, too. I like the Ruby Tuesday deal, where you can get a $15 gift card for every $50 in gift cards that you buy. That's a pretty generous deal, plus Ruby Tuesdays is always offering coupons in the mail for B1G1 free meals. You can combine the coupon with your gift card but not with the bonus gift card, but it's still an awesome deal. There are many other restaurants listed in the above link as well.


On to grocery store talk! This week's grocery store deals are a little off due to the Thanksgiving Holiday. Last week's deals lasted two extra days, through Thanksgiving. On Friday, a short, new ad came out and these deals will last through Tuesday. 


Food Lion Deals this week

Harris Teeter Deals this week

Lowes Foods deals this week ( link to ad only, as Southern Savers did not post a deals list)


Lowes Foods is running a gift card promo where if you buy $50 in gift cards from participating retailers and restaurants, you get a $5 off your next Lowes Foods order. This lasts through December 3rd, next Saturday.


I will be back tomorrow with my report on the Sunday newspaper coupons, so be sure to check in here tomorrow before you get your paper!

How I Got an almost FREE Turkey from Food Lion!


Waiting until the last minute paid off for me today, as I was able to take advantage of two deals that Food Lion was running this week and put them both together to equal an almost FREE turkey!

I had to combine two promotions to make it work, but they were both easy to do.


Food Lion Promo Number One:

This week (through Thursday night) at Food Lion, if you buy $35 worth of products, you can get special pricing on a FROZEN Jennie-O turkey. Instead of the regular price, you can get it for $.47 a pound. That's a SUPER good deal.


Food Lion Promo Number Two:
If you buy $15 worth of Unilver Products, you will get $5 off any turkey purchase in the store, whatever brand.

If you buy $30 worth of Unilver Products, you will get $10 off any turkey purchase in the store, whatever brand.
The discount comes off automatically at the register.


In case you didn't know, Unilever makes products such as Ragu, Knorr Pasta and Rice Sides, Dove, Skippy, Hellmans, and many more. See the Food Lion ad to see which products qualify.


So, I combined both promos in order to get the free turkey. What I did was:

I bought $35 worth of products inside of Food Lion, some groceries that I needed and also some things that I needed for my Thanksgiving Dinner, such as sweetened condensed milk, French's Onions (had coupons for both), some ham for my son's Kindergarten Thanksgiving Party (Deli Ham is on sale right now at Food Lion for $3.98 per pound), ground beef, and other random things that I needed.


I then did the $15 worth of Unilever items promotion. I bought 15 Knorr Pasta and Rice Sides (on sale for $1.00 each) and since they counted towards the promotion, I got $5 off my turkey.

Well, my almost 12 pound turkey, which was originally $19.03, was discounted to $5.39 since I spent $35 inside of Food Lion.

Then, I got $5.00 off of it, since I bought the Unilever products! This made the turkey only $.39!!!! I tried to find a smaller turkey so that I could get it for free, but the one I got was one of the smallest. Anyhow, $.39 for a turkey is still a great deal!


This only works if you can manage to find some Unilever products that you actually would use. There are several to choose from. My kids like the Knorr Pasta and Rice sides and they are good when I need to whip up a quick side item. Sometimes I throw chicken breast in with the pasta or rice to make it more of a meal, so I didn't mind buying 15 of them since they were on sale anyways.

I'm glad Food Lion did this deal this year because in years past they did the thing where you could get a free turkey if you bought a certain amount of groceries every week. I never did that because that was so hard to keep up with, plus I don't normally shop Food Lion each week. This year's offer was certainly better!


One last tip- it's only the FROZEN Jennie-O turkeys that count for the $.47 per pound, so be sure to get in there and get it today or early tomorrow because you will still have to thaw it before it cooks!


Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!!!!

Star News vs. News and Observer!


This week both the Raleigh paper and the Wilmington paper had one insert. I found a Smart Source insert in each paper. I did not see a Red Plum.


Honestly, both inserts were a little sad- there weren't too many coupons today in either insert, but that's to be expected for end of the month. Last week's coupons were so awesome; I guess that was the last hurrah for coupons before Thanksgiving! Keep in mind that there will not be coupons in next week's paper either, since it's Thanksgiving. 

One tip I give for weeks like this when there are very little or no coupons is to take the opportunity to fix up your binder! Since you won't have many to clip, today and next week will be a great time to go through your binder and pull expired coupons and file any coupons that you've been meaning to put in their sleeves. My binder was all out of order from Super Double coupons, so I finally fixed it back up on Friday night and I felt so much better on my Saturday shopping trip with my binder in order again.


The Wilmington paper coupon insert was thinner than Raleigh's. Almost all the coupons in the Raleigh SmartSource insert were the same as the Wilmington Smart Source insert plus more, so if you can find a Raleigh paper today, I would definitely get it because you'll get more for your money.


Some of the coupons featured today in the Wilmington paper were lots of Pillsbury coupons, LouAna oil, Playtex products, Mariani Cherries, Mueller's Whole Grain Pasta, Claritin, Smart Balance products, Schick Hydro Razors, Scotch-Brite, Sucrets, Air Wick, Caribou Coffee, Phillips Soniccare, and Moe's coupons. 

The Raleigh paper had all of the above (except Caribou coffee or Scotch Brite) plus Cold Stone coupons, Allens canned foods, Yoplait, Wright Bacon, EZ Start Duck Tape, Carvel Cakes, Depends, Pediasure, Huggies, Seattle's Best Coffee, Butterball Turkey and Edwards Pies, Hershey's and Reeses Candy, Finish Tablets, Chinet Plates and Cups, Zim's Crack Creme, Starbucks, Pepperidge Farm Cakes, Blue Diamond nuts, Aloutte Cheeses (these are so good and great for parties!), Clean and Clear, Prevacid, Infusium 23, and Olive Garden.

One final tip- check your paper before you walk out of the store! It took me going through FIVE Raleigh papers before I could find one with the coupon inserts in it. This normally isn't a problem for me, so I don't know what happened today.

Happy Thanksgiving and since there will not be any coupons next week, I'll be back with another newspaper comparison on  December 4th!

Weekly Grocery Store Deals!



Below are the deals for this week from Food Lion, Harris Teeter, and Lowes Foods. See below for a link to all the deals where you can make a printable list! These deals last through Thanksgiving Day.


A couple of points- you can get a Jennie-O turkey from Food Lion for $.69 per pound if you spend at least $35 in the store. This is a good deal, especially considering that turkeys can be $1.50 or more per pound. I even saw some for $2.29 per pound at other stores, so if you need other items from Food Lion, this would be a good time to get your turkey. Also, there is a Unilever products promotion where you can save $5 off a turkey or $10 off a turkey if you buy $15 or $30 worth of the products. I imagine you could end up getting your turkey free or close to it this way!


Harris Teeter has Deer Park water on Saturday special for only $2.77 for a 24 pack. Also, you can get 5 lbs of Domino Sugar for only $1.17 if you have the $.65 off coupon from the paper. Lays Chips are Buy 2 get 3 free, making them only $1.71 per bag. Reynolds Wrap Oven bags and Rachel Ray Chicken Stock are $1.00 after coupon. Finally, I got Dole Mandarin Oranges on sale for $1.00 per can, but after coupon for $.50 off 2 cans, they ended up being only $.50 per can. This is a good deal, as they normally cost $1.85 per can.


Finally, Lowes Foods deals are great this week, too! I saw Butterball Turkey for only $.87 per pound, which is good for a name brand. Also they're running a $4 off 4 promo on Kelloggs cereals, which can really add up if they're on sale and you use a coupon. There are many more deals to be had there, so check the flyer before you shop.

Star News vs. News and Observer!


It's time again to compare the two papers that are available here locally to see which has the most coupons this week!


Interestingly, the Raleigh News and Observer only had one insert this time, a Red Plum. My Wilmington Star News Newspaper had THREE inserts- a Red Plum, Smart Source and a special Everydaysaver. I was very impressed with the Wilmington paper this morning. Don't forget that you can get the Wilmington newspaper for only $1.00 at the Dollar Tree locations.


I was tempted to say the two Red Plum inserts were identical, but then I found two Morton Salt coupons that weren't in the Wilmington Red Plum but were in the Raleigh Red Plum. I Also couldn't find the Tennessee Pride Sausage coupon in the Wilmington paper.  But overall, they basically have the same coupons this week.


The Wilmington paper had two additional inserts this week that I did not find in my Raleigh paper. The Everyday Saver insert featured lots of Pillsbury coupons for cookies, biscuits, pie crusts, and crescent rolls. It also had Granola Thins, Hamburger Helper, Green Giant Frozen Veggies and a rare coupon on Green Giant Canned Veggies! The canned veggie coupon is for $.50 off of two, so it will double at Harris Teeter and Lowes Foods. This would make a great coupon to search for extras of on EBAY, as it doesn't expire until January 7th, 2012!


The Everyday saver insert also had Yoplait Greek Yogurt, Betty Crocker Cake Mix and icing coupons and a Bisquick coupon for $.50 off. Note, these coupons usually have matching digital coupons from Harris Teeter EVIC and also from Lowes Foods and Cellfire.com. Finally, I also saw a coupon for Chex Cereals and Progresso soups. This Everyday saver insert is one you don't want to miss!

In additional to the everyday saver inserts, there was also a Smart Source insert in the Wilmington paper. It featured coupons such as Scott products, Egglands Best, Fleischmann's Bread, Reynold's Wrap and Oven Bags for your turkey, Dixie Crystals Sugar, Mrs. Schubert's Bread, Texas Toast Croutons, Pam Cooking Spray, Orville Reddenbacher Popcorn, Sweet n Low, White Castle Burgers, Marie Callendars Dessert Pie, Redi-Whip, Nabisco Crackers, Egg Nog, Bird's Eye Veggies, Carolina Pride Hotdogs, Excedrin and Bruce's Baked Sweet Potatoes.



My point is that you DEFINITELY don't want to miss the Star News this week and I probably would make a pass on the Raleigh paper!

Weekly Grocery Store Deals and Turkey Talk!


Every Saturday morning before the Delly's Deals radio show I will be posting the weekly grocery store deals. Many of you do your shopping on the weekends, so I thought that Saturday mornings would be a great time to post them.


Click below to see most of the deals from Food Lion, Harris Teeter or Lowes Foods. Remember, these deals last through Tuesday night! Southern Savers does a great job of posting the deals, and you can even click the boxes of what you want to make a printable shopping list.


Food Lion Deals
Harris Teeter Deals
Lowes Foods Deals


Today, Harris Teeter is running a Saturday special on Clorox Bleach that I like. If you are an EVIC member, you can get up to two 96 ounce jugs for $.97 each. This is already a great price, but it gets better if you have a coupon. Click here to print a $.25 off coupon (this will double to $.50 off) that makes the bleach only $.47 each! Even if you don't need any bleach right now, I would definitely go ahead and get some at this price so that you have it for later. You can only get this deal today, so be sure to grab it!


Turkey Talk

Thanksgiving is less than two weeks away, so time is running out to get your turkey. I noticed that all three grocery stores are having sales and the prices vary widely. The sales below are going on through Tuesday night.

The best deal on a turkey is definitely at Harris Teeter- get your turkey for only $.47 per pound. Keep in mind that you can only get this great deal if you spend at least $40 in the store, which should be easy if you're doing your weekly shopping there. You might also want to go ahead and get your other items for Thanksgiving such as your canned veggies. This week, Harris Teeter has Del Monte Canned Veggies on sale for buy 2 get 3 free and you can get up to ten cans at this price.


Lowes Foods turkey is on sale for $.77 per pound with a $25 purchase and at Food Lion their turkeys are on sale for $.69 per pound. See below for comparison:


Harris Teeter: $.47 per pound with $40 purchase
Food Lion:     $.69 per pound with $35 purchase
Lowes Foods: $.77 per pound with $25 purchase

Normally turkeys cost between $1.19-$1.50 per pound, so those are truly some great deals.


Clearly Harris Teeter is the turkey winner by far! Their turkeys are $.30 per pound less than at Lowes Foods. On a 10 pound turkey, this would equate to $3.00 worth of savings. On a 20 pound turkey this would equate to $6.00 in savings.


Keep in mind though, that if you want to get that price, you have to spend money in the store, so on a basis of where you'd have to spend the least to get the special price, Lowes Foods wins, since you only have to spend $25 to get the $.77 per pound price.

Check in with me here tomorrow morning for my weekly Star News versus News and Observer article. Have a great Saturday!
