I rarely go to Big Y since they seem to have the biggest mark-up of all the chain stores in the area. Nonetheless I have the current ad on hand and there are a few items worth noting, particularly if you’re considering a food bank donation.
Campbell’s Condensed Chicken Noodle or Tomato Soup, 10.75 oz. [...]

I finally got a chance to look over the November 21 issue of All You magazine and I’m sad to say that the coupon selection left me underwhelmed. The only coupons I’m likely to use are for Halls Cough Drops and True North Nuts, both on sale this week at CVS. I probably [...]

It’s been a crazy-busy week. If you’re interested in how I spent Tuesday, click [here]. Otherwise, let’s get on with the deals. Who needed those pesky Halloween freebies, anyway? Certainly not me, since we don’t celebrate the “holiday.”
The best deals sell out fast, but my local CVS stores get their deliveries [...]

There are three places that I consider primary sources of manufacturer’s coupons (MQs): the Sunday newspaper, magazines, and the internet. These are the coupons that I’ll include in my scenarios because they are available to anyone.
My personal preference for newspaper is [The Hartford Courant], which is the largest paper in my local area. As a coupon newbie I experimented [...]

My house came with a clothesline behind the garage. It wasn’t just any clothesline, it was a sturdy, wooden one with ten lines. It held a lot of clothes and was perfect for my family. I loved the feeling I got when I stood out in the summer sunshine, stretching up and hanging the wet [...]

The very best grocery deals are usually found on the front page (and sometimes the back page) of the weekly flyer. This where stores place the ads for their loss leaders, the specials they offer at very low profit margin just to get you into their store. Grocery stores are gambling that once you’re there you’ll spend [...]
