New Coupons Available on Cellfire
Keep in mind if you are a Kroger shopper that they are no longer allowing stacking of digital and paper coupons. If your paper coupon is better, don't load the digital one. That said, here are some of the new coupons you'll find to load onto your card at Cellfire.
Free Samples from FreeFlys
There are several new FREE SAMPLES available from FreeFlys, so be sure to fly by and grab yours :)
My Publix Shopping List - 4/6
I thought I'd try something new this week and share with you my personal shopping list for this week's trip to Publix (along with any coupons that I know of to go with it).
A couple of things to keep in mind if you are new to shopping at Publix.
- Navel Oranges $.99/lb
- White Seedless Grapes $1.69lb
- Florida Cucumbers 2/$1.29
- Red Grapefruit 5lb bag $2.50 (although I did not see this in my local ad it was on previews, so I'm hoping).
- Glass Plus Glass Cleaner BOGO $2.49
- -$0.50/1 Glass Plus Product
- =.25 each
- Jell-O Snacks 3 for $6
- -$0.60/1 Jell-O Refrigerated Snacks 4/3/2011 SS Insert (exp 5/3/2011)
- -$1/1 Jell-o Snacks 4/3/2011 SS Insert (exp 5/3/2011)
- -$1/1 Jell-O Temptations (IE) Rolling Printable (FF)
- -B2G1 FREE Jell-O snacks Target Q (I don't think it's still available)
- Final Price Will Vary Depening on which items are purchased
- Wish-bone Dressing BOGO $2.63
- -$0.40/1 Wish Bone Dressing
- -$1.50/2 Wish-Bone Salad Dressings TARGET coupon Target.com (exp 4/30/2011)
- = .50 Money Maker wyb 2 and use both coupons, unfortunately I can only find the Target Q
- Post Selects or Great Grains Cereal BOGO $3.29
- -$1/1 Post Great Grains Cereal 4/3/2011 SS Insert (exp 5/15/2011)
- =$.70 each for Great Grains cereals
- Arnold Bread BOGO $3.99
- $1/1 Arnold Bread - sent in response to direct request for coupons from Arnold Bread
- $1 each
- A1 Steaksauce BOGO $4.19
- -$1/1 A1 Steak Sauce 3/6/2011 SS Insert
- =$1.10 each
- V8 V-Fusion Vegatable & Fruit Juice - BOGO $3.99
A couple of things to keep in mind if you are new to shopping at Publix.
- Their BOGO sales vary regionally. In some areas it is equivalent to 50% Off, meaning that you don't have to buy 2 to get the deal (that is the case in my area).
- Most Publix stores double manufacturer coupons up to $.50
- Most Publix stores accept competitor coupons, which stores they consider a competitor will vary regionally.

Extreme Couponing: Couponers Are Odd
At least according to this article from ABC regarding the new series of Extreme Couponing.
As much as I love to coupon and I love it when I see the 90% savings come through, I'll never be an Extreme Couponer of the level that could ever be on this show. While I will watch it, I'm drawn to it on two levels:
1. I'm a couponer. So yes it appeals to me in that it's featuring something that I do and enjoy.
2. I like a good train wreck. The truth of the matter is that I'm drawn to this show in the same way that I'm drawn to Hoarders. There's something enjoyable about watching other people air their lives and laundry and OCDs. And, for too many of the couponers they will feature on this show couponing has become an OCD of the same level as the people featured on Hoarders. For that matter, many of the people they will feature on this show, probably are hoarders.
If you are new to couponing there are some important things to keep in mind as you watch this show.
1. 90% Savings is the exception, it's not the norm. To achieve that level of savings you are either shopping at drug stores (where I achieve the highest % of savings) and using lots of register rewards and +UPs. OR, you are buying lots of things you don't need. To achieve that level of savings you need to purchase things that are on sale with coupons that make them free. As we saw on the original Extreme Couponing show, that means lots of candy and lots of pasta. I've done it. I posted a shopping trip here not two months ago where I used the overage from my pasta (that I didn't need) to reduce the cost of the milk that I did need. These types of deals don't come along every week.
2. You can only use so much! There's a fine line between stockpiling and hoarding. Keep that in mind as you shop. You don't have to get EVERY deal you see. The deal will come back around and you'll have a chance at it again later. I promise!
3. This is TV! - There is a reason they call it EXTREME Couponing and that's because they are showing the most extreme examples they can find. They work with these people and with the stores to create extreme situations. They aren't going to show you the frustration that couponing can bring when a store imposes limits on coupons that weren't there the day before, or when a cashier just doesn't want to deal with coupons that day so they make up their own rules.
So as you begin your couponing journey, keep these things in mind. Be happy with the savings that you get and know it's more than you got before you started couponing. Learn more every day, but there's no need to spend hours and hours every week planning your grocery trips and clipping coupons. You have to balance the money you are saving against the time and the cost to your life in other ways.

Major Email Lists Comprimised
I've gotten at least 5 different emails today from companies whose email lists I'm subscribed to letting me know that their email list provider (Epsilon) has been compromised. Two of the big ones that got hit: Target & Walgreens.
What this means? If it's just the email list, probably just an increase in the spam I'll get (and you'll get if you were subscribed to their email lists). According to the emails I received it was just email addresses. Here's an excerpt from the email I got from Walgreens:

On March 30th, we were informed by Epsilon, a company we use to send emails to our customers, that files containing the email addresses of some Walgreens customers were accessed without authorization.The rest of the email was just a reminder of basic email security, not giving out your credit card info, ignoring scams, etc.
We have been assured by Epsilon that the only information that was obtained was your email address. No other personally identifiable information was at risk because such data is not contained in Epsilon's email system.
