In addition, all of the stores in my area double coupons up to $.99 (so a $.75 coupon has a value of $1.50). If the stores in your area don’t double or your paper is more expensive, you may not find the coupons as valuable as I do!

He is Risen! Happy Easter!

After the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to look at the tomb. There was a violent earthquake, for an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and, going to the tomb, rolled back the stone and sat on it. His appearance was like lightning, and his clothes were white as snow. The guards were so afraid of him that they shook and became like dead men.

The angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay. Then go quickly and tell his disciples: ‘He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him.’ Now I have told you.”

So the women hurried away from the tomb, afraid yet filled with joy, and ran to tell his disciples. Suddenly Jesus met them. “Greetings,” he said. They came to him, clasped his feet and worshiped him. Then Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid. Go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee; there they will see me.”

Matthew 28:1-10

I wish you and your family a joyous Easter and hope that you spend it surrounded by those you love. For those of you who do not celebrate Easter, I hope that you are enjoying a day of relaxation and not too much yardwork!

Although I have a few posts scheduled, I will be gone most of the day and Monday morning. Posting should resume at a normal rate by noon on Monday.

Happy Easter!

Coupons of Note

:: SmartSource Coupons

Allegra $7/1 excludes D and Children’s: use this coupon to get it FREE at CVS and Walmart next week!

Biz $1.50/1 any size: they don’t release many coupons. If you use Biz, here is a rare chance to save on it!

Dreyer’s $1/2 fruit bars packages: Dreyer’s and Edy’s are the same thing, so it should be an Edy’s coupon in the parts of the country that have Edy’s. These go on sale for about $2.50-$3

Hormel $1/1 chili with or without beans: goes on sale for $1.50 or less

:: RedPlum Coupons

State Fair $.55/1 product: my kids love these and they only put out a few coupons per year (and FYI – they tend to be almost half the price at Target as they are at most grocery stores

:: Proctor & Gamble Coupons

the standard coupons, although there is a Buy 1 Get 1 Free coupon for Head & Shoulders

So how many copies of the paper would I buy?

If I were building a stockpile: 4-? (depending on if you use Allegra)

Now that I am in stockpile-maintenance mode: 4

If you have allergies, the $7/1 Allegra coupon pays for the cost of the newspaper all by itself. However, don’t forget that the coupon is only good for 1 week!. Other than that, the coupons this weeks aren’t that special

Claritin coupons: allergy season is coming up, so we should see some good deals!

Cool Whip $.50/2 whipped topping: Cool Whip puts out coupons only a few times a year

French’s $.30/1 Classic Yellow or Spicy Brown Mustard: Ah! it’s time for the return of mustard coupons! The coupons will get better as the weather gets warmer, but for now use this coupon on the small glass bottles of mustard that are usually priced at about $0.89

Healthy Choice $1/2 frozen Traditional Classics or Modern Classics: goes on sale for $2

Kraft $.40/2 Jet-Puffed Mallow Bits or marshmallows: we don’t usually see these coupons until closer to the summer. I’m wondering if Kraft is realizing that, due to the unusually warm winter, “Barbecue Season” is starting much sooner this year!

:: RedPlum Coupons

Best Foods $.40/1 product 16.5oz+: East of the Mississippi River, this is a Hellman’s coupon (and a heads-up to my Philly readers, I got my RedPlum insert in the mail today and we got a $0.40/2, not a $0.40/1)

Degree & Dove coupons: pretty much the “normal ones”…nothing great

McCormick $.75/1 spice, herb, extract or food color: McCormick has “spice sets” (designed for one meal – I am drawing a COMPLETE blank on their name, but they are fairly new) that go on sale for $1-$1.25. Use this coupon to get them FREE after doubled coupon

Wisk $2/1 laundry detergent 45oz+: always a nice coupon!

So how many copies of the paper would I buy?

If I were building a stockpile: 5-7

Now that I am in stockpile-maintenance mode: 4-6

The redplum insert is really boring this week (aside from the Suave coupons), but there are a few coupons in the Smartsource insert that makes it worth picking up some extra copies this week!

Coupons of Note

:: SmartSource Coupons

Almond Accents $1/1 bag: these go on sale for $2.50 or less

Barber Foods $1/1 product: the 4-packs of stuffed chicken breasts go on sale for about $3.99

belVita $1/1 breakfast biscuits: these are fairly new, so we are seeing a bunch of nice sales

Cuties $.55/1 5lb box: not a very high-value coupon, but it IS a coupon for produce (and I just love those little clementines!)

Kraft $1/1 Fresh Take Cheese & Breadcrumb Mix: another coupon for a new item for which we are seeing plenty of sales!

Prego $.75/2 sauces: goes on sale for about $1.67, making it just $0.92 after doubled coupon

Schick coupons: there are some great deals at Rite Aid, CVS and Walgreens this week!

:: Pepsi Moments to Save Insert

most of these coupons are rare (there aren’t a whole lot of coupons for Frito-Lay or Pepsi products). If you use these products, you only get coupons a few times a year

So how many copies of the paper would I buy?

If I were building a stockpile: 3

Now that I am in stockpile-maintenance mode: 2

Aside from the Pepsi/Frito-Lay coupons, it’s a boring week, in my opinion. Since we are trying to cut out the amount of soda and chips in our house, the Pepsi insert is nice, but not that big of deal to me

Coupons of Note

:: RedPlum Coupons

$2 off Cheer detergent, excl trial sizes:  this doesn’t go on sale often, but coupons for it are also rare.  If you like this brand, you takes your savings where you can gets them!

$0.55/1 Keebler fudge stripes dark chocolate cookies, 11.5 oz:  goes on sale for $1.99, making it just $0.89 after doubled coupon

$0.75/1 L’Oreal kids shampoo or other kids product:  goes on sale for $2, making it just $0.50 after doubled coupon

$0.50/2 Pop Secret products:  goes on sale as low as $1 (but more frequently for $1.25 to $1.67), making them cheap after doubled coupon

$1 off SuperPretzel soft pretzel product:  goes on sale for $1.67-$2 (and my husband LOVES the jalepeno-cheddar stuffed pretzels)

:: The following coupons are not listed in the “official listing”, but my RedPlum comes in the mail on Thursday and were included.  Please note that the inclusion of these coupons may vary by region:

Tylenol Precise:  Save $5 (valid through 2/26/2012 only):  Use this coupon to get them free or close to free next week at Acme, CVS, Rite Aid or Walgreens

Quaker Soft Baked Bars, Save $1/1:  these go on sale for $2.50 or less

Kellogg’s Krave Cereal, Save $0.70/1:  goes on sale for $2 or less

So how many copies of the paper would I buy?

If I were building a stockpile:  1-3
Now that I am in stockpile-maintenance mode: 1

It’s not that great a week, despite the $5 Tylenol Precise coupon. If I regularly used that product, I might think about getting a few extra copies of the paper (since the value of the coupon is double the cost of the paper), but I don’t use that product and am not going to buy extra copies of the paper just for the “thrill” of getting free products to collect dust or donate
