Old Navy Coupon Hunt COUPON LOCATIONS!

I was too late tonight for the big ones! Did anyone snag a good ON coupon?
Well the Fabuless Jen at Thrify NW Mom has once again spelled it out on where to find them. So try OldNavyWeekly during the week to see if you can get one. They will come back, but it is hard to say when. If you notice the big coupons are back let us know in the comments!


$75 off $100-- Click on the palm tree in the bottom picture and a parrot will fly out--you have to be VERY fast to catch it!! (this one's gone for now - maybe they will update with more later?)

$50 off $100 - Supposedly there is a blue striped polo shirt in the fabulous finds (bottom left) and you click on the arrows until you find it (supposed to be a boys or men's shirt)--however a large number of people do not have this showing up in ours--still trying to figure out if you needed to do something different to have this show up in there! Anyone have any clues on that? I never saw a blue striped polo shirt (this one's gone for now, too)

30% off $50 - Click on the scarf (upper right) and put it on the blonde girl wearing black and white dress

$20 off $100 - Put the flag t-shirts in red, white, and blue order

Why I Coupon....

The last few weeks at Albertsons were crazy, fun and a bit overwhelming. If I ever begin to question why I put so much time and effort into couponing, these pictures put it all back into perspective! Plus, with all the smores talk on here, I just wanted to remind you that there is nothing better than a good ol' fashioned smore. Don't believe me, ask them!And on a frugal note, we made the smores over a fire we built in our backyard for a family night last week. Total cost for a night of family fun: .99 cents. Can you say fabuLESS!

Fabuless Smores Brownies

Here is another idea on how to use those Smores ingredients from last weeks Fabuless deals at Albertsons.

These are so easy to make.

Ingredients

Brownie Mix Box (I just use a plain old mix from my couponing stockpile) .40
3 Chocolate Bars .50
1 1/2 cups of Marshmallow's (I usually use the minis, but if I don't have enough I cut the big ones) .25
1/2 package Crushed Graham Crackers .15
2 Eggs, 1/4 cup oil, 1/2 cup water depending on your brownie mix .10

How to prepare:

Prepare Brownie mix according to package directions. Bake in oven according to package directions.

While the brownie is baking cut chocolate into bite size pieces, cut marshmallows if necessary, crush crackers.
5 minutes before it is done pull it out and place marshmallow's evenly across the brownie. The marshmallow's are like the glue to hold the ingredients together.

Sprinkle the crackers across evenly and then top with chocolate pieces.
Place back in the oven for 5 minutes to melt the marshmallow's and chocolate. If you like your grahams and marshmallows toasty broil watching very carefully until toasty brown.

PS Total cost about $1.40

Bed Bath & Beyond Bargains!

Did you know that there are Fabuless deals at Bed Bath & Beyond? Our Fabuless reader Cheryl does! Look what she did.......
3 Suave kids’ shampoo
on clearance for .98 ea
(those were the last 3, FYI)

4 Dry Idea deodorants
1.97 ea
used 4 $2/1 coupons from the coupon bar

KY mist
on clearance for 4.99
used $2/1 from last Sunday’s insert

I used a $5 off $15 purchase in-store coupon I received in the mail being sure to give it to the cashier before my other coupons.
My total OOP was $1.58!

This is what I learned about BB&B:

They have the best regular price on Dry Idea I’ve seen. (Heads up for those who still have the $2/1 coupons.)
They accept expired in-store coupons.
They accept manufacturer coupons including printables.
Not all the cashiers are familiar with printables and may have to call a manager about them.

Thanks Cheryl! This is sooooo Fabuless!

FABULESSLY FRUGAL FRIDAY: Power Shopping - Garage Sale Style!

You may enjoy the post on HOSTING a Yard Sale.

With the recent major changes in my family (job loss, new baby) I'm REALLY tightening my belt! Would you believe that after 4 boys, I can't find any shorts that my 1 year old can fit into!? What's up with that? I also just found out we're expecting a girl. This will be our first in 8 years. You can bet that I'll be wanting a few new (to me) things for the little miss (not to mention a second crib - eek!)

So it's time to hit the garage sales.

TIME - something I don't have a lot of right now. I need to make the most of my morning. Here are some tips to POWER SHOP GARAGE SALE STYLE!!

1. Make a list. This will help you stay FOCUSED. You need shirts for your 2 year old? Put it down! Looking for a black bookcase? Add it!
   
2. Map it out. I like to look on craigslist for garage sales. I think a lot of people are turning to this for their advertising, because it is FREE! You can also check out your local paper (heavens knows you've got those coming out your ears!). And a few new tools I've come across: Yard Sale Treasure Map and Garage Sales Tracker.
   
3. Leave the kidlets at home. (sounds a lot like couponing so far!) I mean, you really want to drag them in and out of the car? You know they'll find 127 things that they will want, and YOU won't!
   
4. Carry a lot of change. Doesn't giving exact change sound better than waiting for the seller to find cash back for you? Plus I think you are more likely to get the price you want if you can hand it to them right away. I always have coins too for little random clothing items or books.
5. Fanny Pack? Eek! I never thought I'd wear one of these babies, but sure sounds handy if you're going to be jumping in and out of the car! Who wants to mess with a purse? Although, I think I'll settle for my pockets. Not sure I can put one of those suckers on!
   
6. Take along some snacks and water. Remember you'll be out for a bit - you don't want to waste your precious quarters on fast food do you? We're trying to stretch our dollar here!
   
7. Just ASK! Sometimes the seller may have what you're looking for and they have it tucked away, forgot to set it out, or you just overlooked it!
8. Negotiating IS an option! You've got nothing to lose. If the seller won't budge, you're still getting a great deal! ALSO - if you've picked up a bunch of items and it's come to $6.75 for example, don't be afraid to ask if the seller will take an even $6 for them. Again, you've got nothing to lose.
9. Be Kind. Seriously... do I have to elaborate?
10. Stick with the plan. You're not saving money if you've spent your whole wad on things that you really don't need! Don't get it just to get it. Ya know?!
    
11. For those garage sales that have GREAT STUFF but seemed a bit over priced, make a note of it and head back later in the day. Often times you'll find sellers are slashing their prices in order to part with their goods!
12. Have FUN - relax and take your time. When you finally find just what you're looking for, it makes it all worth it!
    

Are you having a garage sale this weekend? Know of any great DON'T MISS THIS ONE neighborhood sales happening? Share the love and leave it in the comments!

Using-Up-Those-Marshmallows: Granola Bars

Our reader Cheryl really is FABULESS! Now she has a great new recipe to share with all of us!

Granola Bars

¼ cup butter
1 pkg (10 oz.) marshmallows
½ tsp vanilla
¾ cup peanut butter candy melts (or ½ cup peanut butter chips)
4 cups rice crispies cereal
1 ½ cups quick oatmeal
¾ cup chopped walnuts

Melt butter in a large sauce pan over low heat. Add marshmallows, stirring frequently. Once marshmallows are halfway melted add in candy melts (or chips.) Continue stirring until mixture is smooth. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. Add in remaining ingredients and stir to coat evenly. Coat 9x13 pan with butter Pam and press the mixture into it. Cool and cut into granola bar size pieces. Makes about 20.

These ingredients are all items I had that needed using. My 3 year old did the quality checking and says they are yummy. I am planning on making up a few different versions to keep the kids from getting bored with them before I’ve used up my marshmallows.

Variations:

Use 2 Hershey bars (broken up) in place of the peanut butter chips and ¾ cups graham cracker pieces in place of the walnuts and you can use all your bargain ingredients and have s’more bars!
Or use white chocolate chips and raisins (or craisins.)
Or semi-sweet chips and broken pretzels.
Or cherry chips and coconut.
Use your imagination!

Thanks Cheryl (hiccups)

Now I need to get my brownie smore recipe up. Hope my family wants to eat them! I am sure they won't mind but my previous pregnancy pooch might not like it too much!

Free Chocolate

Today is the day. Click here for the Mars Real Chocolate Relief Act coupon! Every Friday through September, Mars will be giving away a coupon for free chocolate starting at 9 AM ET. They give away 250,000 coupons each Friday. You can only get one coupon per email address per Friday, with a total of 4 coupons per household during the whole promo.

Joe's Sporting Goods - Going out of Business

Thanks to our Fab reader John for passing this info along:

Didn't know if you or your fabuless readers were aware but Joes Sporting Goods is going out of business. The Eagle Road store is already shut down and tomorrow will probably be the last day for the Nampa store. They have a TON of Reebok football cleats on sale right now. Sizes 2-5 with half sizes and a few 5 1/2's left. I got three pairs for our third son (a bigger size for each year) for $3.99 a pair. Regularly $40.

They told me that tomorrow should be their last day unless there's a lot left in which they will go for one more day. The rest of the store is 60-80% off but is getting pretty picked over. There are also an abundance of snowboarding boots and kids BSU t-shirts.

Thanks John!

Nampa is sounding pretty Fabuless tomorrow. Albertson's One DAY Sale and Joe's close out!

Albertson's Mac & Cheese/Capri Sun Promo gets MORE FABULESS!

So, I hope you read Monica's post about the great Mac & Cheese Deal HERE. Well, it gets even better! On top of getting two 5-packs of Mac & Cheese & 2 boxes of Capri Sun for $5.69 plus a $2 catalina back (catalina deal good thru 5/31), if you shop at the 36th and State St Albertsons in Boise, you can also get two bags of Chips Ahoy Cookies for 99 cents each! How??? Well, they have a special vendor coupon that's $2 off when you buy a capri sun AND a bag of Chips Ahoy cookies. Since the capri sun is free and the Chips Ahoy cookies are $2.99, you get $2 off! What a FABULESS deal!

BUT PLEASE - do not go there and take the whole tearpad of coupons. ONLY take the coupons for what you are going to buy in the store for that day!!! Why? Because the awesome grocery managers there got these coupons specifically for this promotion for US to use at their store and they ordered a ton of the CHIPS AHOY, CAPRI SUN and MAC & CHEESE to go with the coupons. If someone goes in and takes off a ton of the free capri sun peelies from the mac & cheese or all the Chips Ahoy coupons, then they won't be able to sell all the product, because most of us won't buy it without all the cool coupons!

For example, someone out there took their entire stack of the s'mores coupons for last weeks sale. They go to a lot of work to keep the great deals in stock and to get extra coupons for us couponers, and if these things keep happening, it gives them a bad taste about us and they won't continue to work hard to make these deals available for us. Most of the Albertsons are coupon friendly, and I'd hate to see that end.

Off my soapbox now... so head over to 36th and State st for your cheap YUMMY Chips Ahoy Cookies while the coupons last!

FAB FRUG Coupon Class

SYTYCD

Ahhh I missed yesterdays episode! What happened? Anybody? Anybody?

Tonight was auditions for LA and Seattle. What did you guys think? Who did you love? Who did you hate?

LA Auditions

Bad:

*Oh my was that Shikiro guy for real? I laughed the whole time. I love that the judges are nice to the bad contestants and give them good honest feedback!

*I thought he brother and sister pair dance was weird! What did you think?

Good:

*Sammy the red and black striped hair guy that did popping was really fun to watch.

*The girl that danced with Phillip was good. I loved the number they did meshing the contemporary style with the popper style.

*I loved when Adam Shankman did the lindy hop with the contestant. So fun!

Seattle Auditions

It must have been bad because the best they could come up with was

David vs Leo Battle in Seattle. What did you think of that?

Next Week: Should be a lot more fun......

Wed June 3 at 7 pm MST
Vegas Callbacks - Part 1 -
**2-HOUR EPISODE**

Thurs June 4 at 8 pm MST
Vegas Callbacks - Part 2 (Top 20 Chosen)

Q&A What do you do with a Catalina?

We got a question from one of our Fabuless readers!

Q: One quick question…I read about the Mac and cheese special and Catalina coupon that comes with it, I’m still not sure what to do with those?

A: The catalina is a check out coupon that can be used on your next transaction at Albertsons. It can be used like cash to pay for your groceries. There are a few exclusions like it must be redeemed after your manufactures coupons and store coupons. It can not be used toward money orders, gift cards, alcohol, lottery tickets, tobacco, prescriptions, stamps or fuel. Other than that just use it to pay for part of your next grocery order. Also it can not be used to pay for tax. If you have more questions about catalina's check out this post here.
Hope that helps!

Lunch Break Albies Run

So this week at Albertsons will not top last week with all the stuff we got for FREE with double coupons. Not every week is like that. Many weeks it is just about buying things at 50% off or more and stocking up a bit so you never have to pay full price for that item again.

I also bought 6 peaches at .98/lb that are not pictured here!

First I went to Grocery Smarts and made my Fabuless shopping list.

You've got 3 days left!!!

...to enter our FAB Massage Give Away courtesy of "Dr. O" (ahem, he's not the one giving the massage - it is his massage therapist that he has doing the work!) :) Click on the button to get to the post to leave your entries!

Have you ever had a massage? It is heavenly!

For those of you who haven't, let me assure you of a few things!

1. You don't have to strip down to your birthday suit! You wear as much clothing (or as little!) as you are comfortable in!
   
2. The massage therapist will cover your body at all times, except for the area she is working on. So you'll never feel "exposed".
3. You can (and should!) communicate to her how you're feeling! If she's going too deep for you - tell her! OR if you want her to go deeper - tell her!
   
4. It is a VERY comfortable, relaxing environment.
   

So if you've never had a massage before - now is the time to give it a try! Head on over to enter this FAB 1 hour MASSAGE giveaway!

Albertsons Kraft Mac & Cheese/Capri Sun Deal mingled with PERISHABLE Deals!

SO I headed over to Albertsons tonight, hoping to take advantage of the best deal this week:

Purchase a 5 pack of Mac and Cheese, and get ANOTHER 5 pack FREE - along with TWO boxes of Capri Sun FREE!

My nearest Albies is the 5&O which seems to run out of stuff pretty quick. I meandered in, expecting to see the Capri Suns gone. I was pleasantly surprised to see they had a large display (east entrance) of the Mac and Cheese and Capri Suns. So I picked up two of each, grabbed some Coke Products (only .79 for 2-liter) and some FRESH PEACHES (.98/lb - 4 star deal, and I've been craving peaches to eat on my Post Raisin Bran that I'm stocked up on!).

Once I checked out, I was pleased to see that a $2 catalina printed out! Even though the 10 boxes of Mac and Cheese were packaged in fives, it counted as the Kraft Buy 6 or More get $2 OYNO deal! (Please note the CATALINA deal ENDS Sunday!)

So I essentially received 10 boxes of Mac and Cheese PLUS 2 boxes of Capri Suns all for $5.69 ($3.69 if you account for the $2 cat! {ha ha! That sounds pretty funny!})

Sweet!

Also - there were blinkies for $1/2 on the V8 Fusion (and plenty of those in stock as well!) which are on sale for $1.88 each.

I only used one coupon on this trip - and it was the blinkie from the store. Wow. No brain work at all on this one!

How is your store stocked? Are you enjoying a NICE AND EASY WEEK!? (I'm also happy to have low prices on some good staples for the house - beef, milk, fruit... all good stuff!).

ps - I came across this thread on the Idaho PYP forums that lists the best perishable items on sale right now! Kind of a comparison list. I don't have ALL these stores where I am, but I do have some of them. Go check it out! (Just another reason why PYP rocks!)

USING YOUR S'MORES GOODIES!

I was sorry that I missed all the S'mores goodies last week at Albertsons! Even more sorry now that one of my fave bloggers Marie, of Makes N Takes, has this fun idea. It involves chocolate chips rather than candy bars, but I think you could adjust your recipe and do it either way!

Chocolate Chip S'mores Surprise
involves shoving the chocolate INSIDE your marshmallow! She and her hubby have a little competition going on. She puts her chocolate (chips) inside BEFORE roasting, and he does it AFTER.

Either way, I think it is a fun and TASTY idea that I just had to share!

I'm putting Monica on the spot and asking her to post her WAY FAB S'mores Brownie Recipe! She gave me a MASSIVE square for my birthday. It was SOOO YUMMY!

Do you have a fun ways of making S'mores or using your S'mores ingredients?!

It's FIVE STAR DEAL time at RESTAURANTS.COM!

We are always talking about the "5 Star Deals" at Albertsons... when you see those 5 stars, it's time to stock up!!

Well, Restaurants.com is currently running a FIVE STAR DEAL!

It's called $25 Gift Certificates FOR ONLY $2!!!

Use the code SPECIAL to get 80% off Restaurant.com Gift Certificates

Have you never done this before? Now is the time to start!

Check out Monica's FABULESS Pictorial that will show you step by step how to take advantage of this STOCK UP DEAL!! (I'm thinking: date nights, fathers day gifts, Christmas gifts - they don't expire for a year!).

(ps - I'm currently in San Diego and just purchased one from Elija's. Can I just say to you that my parents are impressed! We're goin out tonight baby! You can use these little things anywhere!)

COUPONS {{DOT}} COM

So it's always a great idea to head over to coupons.com (or heck, just peak at our toolbar to your right) to see what new coupons they've put up!

I just checked and got me some Yoplait and Yo Plus coupons, Country Time Canisters (I've been craving lemonade lately!), GM Cereal, and of course a $1/1 CPK (California Pizza Kitchen) Pizza. I'm dying to see if the frozen comes close to the real stuff I ate last night!! (BTW - I'm able to print these babies out twice tonight!)

Anyway, just a reminder that they do put new ones up every once in awhile. So go check it out!

(You can view a handy little pictorial that explains how to use the coupons.com bar - and just in case you didn't know, we get a couple pennies any time you print a coupon from our site, so if you're feeling the love, go ahead and print a few that have caught your eye. We won't mind!)

:)

Albertsons 5/27-6/2

Oh Albertsons - You've kept us busy this past few weeks!! We're all tired and ready for a break!

So here we go. A new Albertsons week. A new ad. You ready?

Here is the FABULESS and FULLY CUSTOMIZABLE printable Albertsons Shopping List. If you are unsure how to take advantage of this tool, be sure to view our pictorial!

So already I'm seeing that cheese and chicken (if you don't mind the individually frozen) are cheaper at Freds this week. BUT Albies does have their milk, roasts, and ground beef priced to sell this week!

Be sure to WATCH THE EXPIRATION on these Tree Top Juice coupons (do you even have them anymore? I used mine during one of the sales with doublers - it's all a blur, I couldn't tell you when!)

$1/2 (THESE EXPIRE Sunday 5/31) Smart Source 3/29 and 5/17
No worries - there is a printable as well!


And a few other's that I'm going to snag:

2-liter Coke Products .79

Albertsons Cookies $2.50 - Hey, it's not frugal, but these things ARE SO YUMMY! And this is a great price for Albies cookies!

Albertsons Ice Cream (again, this is good stuff) $2.25 (you have to buy four to get the price).

BE SURE TO GET THIS ONE (unless you have Mac N Cheese and Capri Suns coming out your ears - then save some for those of us who don't!!)
KRAFT MAC AND CHEESE 5 PACK is BOGO
Then use the peelie to get: 2 CAPRI SUNS FREE
FINAL PRICE: $5.69 for 10 Mac N Cheese and 2 boxes of Capri Suns!

And the ONLY PROMO going this week (I think we are all secretly happy!?)

Save $5 INSTANTLY when you purchase $20 of select Kelloggs items.
I'm not freaking out about any of this really. Don't we have enough Kelloggs in our pantry yet?

So it's really an ALBERTSONS BRAND Week. Not too many coupon match ups.

Are you seeing anything you are REALLY EXCITED ABOUT?! Share! I'm too pooped to get excited I guess!

Fred Meyer This Week

So I've been relaxing for the past 6 days with my sisters while we visited my parents in San Diego. BEAUTIFUL there! I got to try the famous California Pizza Kitchen - holy cow, that stuff was DEE LISH!

Back to reality for me!

It was fun to hear about all the fun you all had at Albys this past week! Sad I missed it, but I was happy to unwind and forget about all my worries for a few days! AND my husband survived and had the house in working condition too! (The smart guy even saved the Sunday paper for me - he knew I'd have some deal blogging to do!)


So here are a few things that are looking pretty good at FRED MEYERS this week

(although I only found one decent coupon match up... their in-store coupons have a few good staples to grab!)

Organic Strawberries $1.50/lb

Bag of Frozen Boneless/Skinless Chicken Breasts $1.59/lb (aka: $6.36 for a 4 pound bag. This is less than Albies this week!)

Hershey's CB's (aka: candy bars!): 3 for $1

Lay's Potato Chips $2.00 (never pay more than $2 for chips!)

IN STORE COUPONS:

Freddys 1/2 Gallon Milk, OJ or CHOCOLATE Milk $10/10 (you don't have to purchase 10 to get the deal). Of course, you can find milk for less at Albies (starting Wednesday) or even Costco. But this is a GREAT price on OJ and Chocolate milk!

Freddys Mac N Cheese (DO YOU REALLY NEED ANY?!?!) Chix Nood or Tom soup (aka: chicken noodle and tomato) .25 each.

2 pounds Medium Cheddar Cheese $3.99 (FAB PRICE RIGHT HERE!)
Dreyers Ice Cream $2.50 Country Oven/Vita-Bee Bread $1.33 each M&M's Bag Candy $2.00

FINAL PRICE: VARIES

Fabuless Coupon Tip Tuesday: Binder Organization

We are excited to tell you that we are starting a new series on the blog. Fabuless Coupon Tip Tuesday. It will be kind of like a Q & A. We will answer reader questions. If you have questions send them to fabulesslyfrugal at gmail dot com. Also we know that many of our Fabuless readers are getting really good at couponing and have some great tips to share so we encourage you to submit your tips too!

For our first Fabuless Coupon Tip Tuesday I am going to answer a reader question about how to organize your coupon binder.

Binder Organization Categories
There are several different ways you can organize your coupons. You can sort them by insert date, expiration date, alphabetically, or store isle. Different things work for different people. This is what works for me.
I like to sort mine by isle in the store.

I have FOUR main sections: Food, Personal Care, OTC meds and Cleaning.
Then I alphabetize the categories not the coupons.

Food
Baking
Breakfast
Dairy
Drinks
Frozen
Pantry
Refrigerated
Snack
Diet/Nutrition Products This one is out of order and at the back because I do not use it as much.

Personal Care

Baby Care/Batteries
Body Wash
Deodorant
Eye Care
Facial Care
Feminine Hygiene
Lotion

Oral Care
Shampoo/Conditioner
Shaving

OTC Meds
Allergy
First Aid
Pain
Stomach
Vitamins

Cleaning
Air Fresheners
Bathroom
Carpet
General
Kitchen
Laundry

I also have folders for each of the stores I shop. In the folders I keep: in store coupons, copies of rebates, copies of receipts for rebates, the store ad for the week.
In addition I have a folder for my Restaurant.com certificates and other restaurant coupons and a folder for the coupons I know I will not use, but I give away to someone else. Example dog food, cat food, hair color. I do not have pets and I don't color my hair.

To see my full post on how I organize my coupons go here!
