More Coupon Savings

Ok -- I know not that many people check out this blog, so this is specifically for my friends and family in SoCAl. Every week I will be posting my good deals and coupon savings on this blog. You can check out my blog for FREE! And I will try and keep it current at least every 2 weeks.

To do this you will need:

1. to live near at least one Ralphs grocery store, preferably 2

2. the L.A. Times Sunday newspaper -- (I get mine from my parents house-- for free, but they're really not that expensive) --this is where the coupons are

3. a little time -- but it's worth it

This week's greatest deals (good from Wed, Jan 30 -Tue Feb 5):

Post Cereals: $0.99 each with the $1.00 coupon in this week's newspaper

Quaker Life Cereals: $0.99 each with the $1.00 coupon (I think from last week's newspaper)

Campbell's Seclect Soups: $0.75 each with the $0.50 coupon from a few weeks ago (these are the big cans of soup)

Many of these coupons can be printed off of coupon websites for free -- just google it, and you should be able to get the same coupons that come in the newspaper.

I will be more specific about what coupons come from what week's newspaper in the future.

i've been tagged -- 10 random things about me

I've been tagged to post 10 random facts about myself--here goes:

1. my favorite thing to do to relax is tweeze my eyebrows

2. i don't like ice cream very much -- i'll have it every once in a while, but only a few bites

3. i know where every penny i spend goes -- i love my checkbook ledger!

4. it is very difficult for me to drink the milk from the bottom half of the carton--gross!

5. i am an excellent hula hooper -- it's the only semi-sport i'm good at

6. i prefer fresh chocolate chip cookies to cake any time

7. i still run into curbs and sidewalks, and i've been driving for 10 years

8. i had a private conversation about California politics with the Democratic Presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich (sp?) at LAX airport a few months ago-- we didn't really see eye to eye

9. i never had braces -- i think that counts as weird and random because it seems like everyone i knew had braces from 3rd grade on -- and i was always jealous

10. i honestly don't know 10 people that blog that haven't already been tagged with this game, so I am just allowing all who feel the need to go ahead and participate!

my favorite engagement pic -- but it's blurry!


this is the only picture I have access to right now

Here's how to save some serious $$$$

Hello friends and family -- sorry this blog is so outdated -- but I only think to update it at work, when I shouldn't and when I don't have my camera with me to download pics. So I'll try and scrounge something up real soon.

BUT---- I do have something serious to blog about:

RAGU SPAGHETTI SAUCE.

Yes, Ragu. It is on sale this week at Ralphs -10 for $10.00 -- so, $1.00 a jar.

But I got mine for $0.60 a jar because I used my double coupon out of the LA times coupons.

So, all my friends who live near a Ralphs, I hope you go and stock up, because you know what all those important guys in Salt Lake have been talking about for the past few years, right?
