Coupons anyone??
Yes, I know, I am giving away very valuable coupons. But I am trying VERY hard to keep my fisrt two rules of couponing and shopping - #1 if you do not have the money do not spend it and #2 if you really don't need it don't buy it. I have a BUNCH of coupons for the Albertson's sale including the 6 double coupons. The last day of the sale is Tuesday. I only have $15 in my budget this week and Clint need underjams and milk (there goes my money). So you benifit from my mismanagement of money and sales. If anybody wants them please call or message me.

Clothing Sale Secrets
I got an e-mail from my friend this evening about great clothing sales and secrets. I really really HATE shopping for clothes (I have tried it once with kids, one was crawling under the door and one was opening the door and I had my arms up changing shirts so couldn't do a darn thing about it!!) Needless to say, I do not look at ads for clothes. And I yard sale for most of my childrens clothing. Anyway, my friend Melissa has so WONDERFUL suggestions and department store secrects to share with all. Thank you so much Melissa!!!
Okay Jen! I have noticed you put great deals about food on your website but food is not the only thing that we buy. Clothes! Those wonderful things that clothe our naked body! So I thought to pass along some wonderful helpful hints (mostly for those of us who are not fans of Wal-Mart).
Old Navy, Banana Republic, Gap: The best days to go are on Tuesdays. That is the day that they mark down all of their stuff. That most blessed day when they move inventory around and they mark down their stuff. They are all owned by the same company.
Target: I learned that Target is fairly comparable in price to Wal-Mart. They of course will be tad more expensive but I found their quality of clothing is a whole lot better. So a quiet little secret that I learned is most of their new stuff will go to clearance within the month that they arrive.
Down East Outfitters: Okay, I worked there but they had the best clothes. It is the best place to go for jeans! They sell jeans that are $100 or more for only $25- $35! Brands like: Levi, Big Star and Lucky are sold there. They also carry American Eagle, J. Crew, Diesel, Ben Sherman and few other brands that are high end. Plus they sell their own brands! Which are modest!!!! The brands that are not their own are clothes that could not sell in the stores or are slightly damaged (buyer beware). I have quite a few items of clothing from there. I suggest going to the store on 123rd south in draper. Bonus: they also sell furniture! Brands like Pottery Barn, Z gallerie, red envelope and so on are marked down to 50% off the price that they are sold in the stores and online. Right now they have their after Christmas special where everything is 20% off.
My last secret and a reminder to all; the outlet stores in park city. I generally go in the spring and spend just about $300 total for my kids (plus those few things for the hubby and I) for the entire year! (that is $100 per child for one year!)
So I hope that you will pass this along to anyone who might need it. if not... I gave my fingers some typing practice.

Just to get you started
Sorry, I will put up more info later. I keep getting kicked off the internet, so I am typing fast. Albertson's is having a really great sale. When you buy $30 in select products you will get $15 off your next transaction. There are a lot of coupons that go with the sale. Check out http://www.pinchingyourpennies.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=62 under the Albertson's sales for coupons you can print out online. There is a lot on there, but remember - it is only a good deal if you have the money and need it, not just want it. I will post more stores tonight when my kids go to bed.

Something to talk about
A new year a new year!! Well, at least that is what all of the ads are promoting this week. At any store you go to this week you will find exercise equipment, exercise clothing and shoes, diet supplements and vitamins on sale. All of the prices are about the same between stores. This is the week to stock up and save on this kind of stuff.
Storage containers are also on sale everywhere. Again, the price are all about the same. No store is obviously cheaper than anther store.
K-Mart
Has a coupon book for FREE while supplies last. I do not know what is in the book, if somebody gets it please tell use all what is in it.

Sorry to get your hopes up
I'm sorry to get everybodies hopes up, but for the second week in a row there are not any really good sales. I thought with it being New Years week and lots of football that there would be some better deals. Anyway, here are the few deals this week.
Macey's:
Apples $0.79/lb
Fryer Chicken Breast $1.29/lb
Salmon Fillets $4.99/lb (I do not know if this is a good price or not, I do not like fish)
WF Frozen Vegetables $0.77 16 oz package
Old Orchard Frozen Concentrate $1.00
Albertson's
Kellogg's Cereal $1.59 (there were a lot of Kellogg's coupons in the paper 2 weeks ago)
Smith's
Stouffer's Party Size Entrees $8.99
Sunflower Market
Grapes $0.67
Pears $0.88
Grapefruit 5 for $1 (per fruit, not per pound)
Lemons 4 for $1
Key Limes 10 for $1
Wal-Mart has coupons next to the Sara Lee bread for $1 off milk with the purchase of Sara Lee bread. The bread is $1.50 a loaf and milk is $2.00/gallon. You can get both for $2.50.
I do not alway post the best price I see, I post the best price as compared to Wal-Mart so almost everything (excpet Western Family Brand) can be price matched at Wal-Mart. Milk is on sale this week for $2.25, but it is always $2 at Wal-Mart.
Happy Shopping and an even better New Year!!

So far, not much
I hope everybody had a wonderful Christmas and you all have a wonderful New Year.
In the Sunday paper, I was not impressed with any of the New Years Sales - I think they will probably come out after the New Year. I only got one coupon insert the P&G insert.
Ream's - located at the bottom of the Our Town section in the paper (of course has lots of produce!!!) This sale goes from Dec. 29, 2008 - Jan 03, 2009
Cucumbers 3/$1
Red grape Tomatoes $0.99 per cup
Green Cabbage $0.39/lb
Red and Gold Bell Peppers 2/$1.00 (buy lots and cut up and freeze what you do not use fresh, as long as the frozen peppers are cooked into a dish they taste the same, I do this with the peppers left in my garden at the end of the season.)
Zucchini $0.69
1 lb mini carrots $0.69
Medium Yellow Onions 4 lbs/$1
Red, Green, Romaine Leaf Lettuce $.079 each
Cello Whole or Sliced Mushrooms $0.99/ 8 oz. pkg
Large Hass Avocados $.69 each
Walgreens
$.10 digital prints or prints from film when you purchase 50 or more 4X6 prints. This is a coupon and I do not know if this can be price matched at Wal-Mart or not.
Hopefully there will be a lot more grocery sales in the Tuesday inserts. I will try to post tomorrow, but no guarentees I have YW tomorrow night.
