Amazon Magazine Steal of the Week - Oprah

Amazon has a one year subscription to Oprah magazine for $5.00 until Saturday, 12/19. Here is the link.

Harris Teeter

You may or may not have noticed that I haven't been posting about Harris Teeter. I haven't really been finding anything worth posting about in the last few weeks. So, in the interest of saving my time and yours, I will only be posting HT matchups when there are triple coupon events or when something is just SCREAMING at me because the deal is that good. If you want to look at HT matchups yourself, there are several resources on the web - this is a good one, except please keep in mind that sale prices vary tremendously from region to region, and what you see posted on another coupon matchup site may not be the same for you. Remember my milk incident. A costly mistake!

I encourage you to sign up for the Shoppers' Companion through Food Lion's web site so that you can have access to FLIPS yourself in case this happens again - I will post again if it becomes available)

More $5.00 Magazine Subscriptions

Amazon is at it again - from 12/06 through 12/12 selected magazines are $5.00 for a subscription or you can renew your current subscription. Click here to see what's available this time around.

Pillsbury Toaster Strudel Coupon

I have seen a Food Lion preview ad for next week and it is showing a 3-day sale on Pillsbury Toaster Strudel for 1.50 on Friday, Saturday and Sunday (12/11, 12/12 and 12/13). Click here to get a 1.00 coupon, making these .50 each. Coupons for Toaster Strudel don't come around very often, and certainly not for 1.00 off. They may go quickly, so I wouldn't wait to print them. Now before you get too excited, please remember that this is an ad I saw for a different area (remember my milk fiasco) and YMMV for your area.

Hallmark $5.00 coupon

There is a Hallmark coupon for $5.00 off your total order; the coupon does not state a minimum, so you should be able to use this to get something free or nearly free. Click here for the coupon. Also you should be able to print this twice by using your browser's back button (you may want to remove the paper after the first printing and insert it back into your printer the opposite way for the second printing to save paper).

Live and Learn

I learned a valuable lesson today. Always check what sale paper you are looking at online before you make your coupon-matching list. Always. Yesterday as I was putting together the coupon-match list for Giant I included milk for 2.50. So, doing my couponing today, I bought four gallons. It wasn't until I got out into the parking lot that it occurred to me that my total was higher than it should have been. I looked at my receipt and discovered that the milk discount had not come off my club card scan. As I was on my way in to go to customer service, I decided I'd better grab an ad there at the store and peruse it first, just to be sure, in case I needed to show it to customer service. Alas, there was no milk on sale! Turns out, it's only on sale in the Rehoboth Beach, Millville and Long Neck, Delaware stores; not in my home store in which I shopped today. *Sigh* I now have four gallons of very expensive milk. At least I didn't embarrass myself by going to customer service!

Go here and look to the lower right hand corner to sign up for the pledge and get your coupon. Hurry, though - this seems to be a pretty popular coupon and the first 10,000 will probably go quickly.
