About Me

I'm a Utah mom, just trying to make ends meet. Several years ago, I was introduced to a new way of couponing. I've been addicted ever since. I have a hard time paying full price for anything anymore.

I love couponing so much, I decided to become a teacher for Grocery Smarts.

I teach free classes and show you how to get everything you need at the grocery store and still leave $$$ in your pocket. I'll also teach you the best ways to get and organize your coupons. The best part of the class is when I show you how to match your current coupons up with the current local sales - getting the most bang for your buck!

Macey's Case Lot and Great Huggies Coupons

Macey's will have another case lot sale starting March 4th.

I went to Macey's this week and picked up a box of chicken breasts (20lbs for $29.99 = $1.49lb - which is a super great deal). The Macey's in Clearfield already had many of their caselot things out. Check out this link to PYP for more information. A lot of people have already done the leg work.

Also if you live in Northern Utah and are familiar with Winegars - they will also be starting their caselot on March 4th. I've personally found that sometimes Winegars is just a little less than Macey's. Watch your weekly ads for the Macey's and Winegars ad to compare.

If you have little ones and want a great deal on Huggies diapers - click on this link for some $3.00 and $5.00 coupons. I rarely see coupons this good surface so I'm sure they will disappear fast. Hurry to get these coupons! Remember you can print them twice.

Have a great weekend!

I think I have a cereal fetish......

Okay! I made another run to Macey's..... I just had to get more cereal.....I think I have an addiction to buying cereal. The sad part is that I might sit down and eat one bowl of cereal a week. My family does eat a lot though.

I also have to say 2 GREAT things about Macey's.

1 - They have great customer service. Both times I was there in the last week, all the checkers were happy, helpful and smiling. They had people in the store available to questions and that is something I rarely see at other stores I shop at.

2 - I was certainly impressed at their variety and stock of cereal. Both times I visited, they had the tower of cereal. They certainly know how to stock for a good sale.

So here's what I got in my last trip on Saturday.


5 cans of Campbells spaghetti

10 boxes of Betty Crocker fruit snacks

3 heads of Romaine lettuce (mmmmm....Cafe Rio homemade salad)


1 gallon Western Family OJ


1 bag rolls


1 pkg John Morrell bacon


5 red potatoes


4 oranges


3 limes


1 bag baby carrots


1 dozen eggs


2 pkgs of matches (strike anywhere - husband is obsessed with this kind)


2 boxes of Froot Loops

2 boxes of Frosted Flakes

1 box Captain Crunch

2 boxes of Cinnamon Life (Life cereal is my personal favorite)

2 boxes of Cinnamon Oatmeal Squares

Unfortunately, the receipts at Macey's don't tell you how much you saved. I can tell you that I had $18.50 in coupons and my total came to $62.98. I felt like I got quite a bit for the amount I spent. Another good shopping trip!

Macey's made me happy today!

I decided that I wasn't going to wait on this sale. I usually have about 200 boxes of cereal in my pantry at any given time. It's been several months since I've bought any cereal and my family usually goes through 5-7 boxes of cereal a week. I guess it was time to replenish the supply.

I didn't have time to stack them nicely, but here's what I got.

I bought 34 boxes of cereal, some oranges and a few candy bars (bribes for the kids).

I started out at just over $90 and ended up paying $41.89. I would have done a little better had I known before I got home that a couple of my coupons got stuck in the side of the box and neither I nor the cashier saw them. I paid about $1.11 for each box of cereal (I deducted $5.00 from the total to adjust for the oranges and candy bars). If I were you, I would go fast before the selection is gone. I went to the Macey's in Clearfield and they still had a pretty good selection at 2:30 pm today.

Macey's great cereal sale and caselot

So if anyone caught Janet Eyring on Studio 5 today - you would have seen the "tower" of cereal that is on sale. Seriously there is a huge variety (General Mills, Kellogs, Post etc....). Here's a link to some information on her segment so you can see. You can also click on her blog (right hand side of my blog) Living on Less to see more. She was saying that with the combination of the sale and your coupons it was making the boxes anywhere from about $.90 to $1.15 a box. There are also some coupons in your Macey's ad (in-ad coupons) that you need to use. Check out their ad to see their caselot items on sale as well. Hurry in the sale starts today and ends 1/27/09 (sale goes from 1/21 to 1/27).
