ConAgra Foods Rebate

Okay Ladies and Germs:

Here is the first rebate I have found for 2010.  It is from ConAgra and we use oodles of Orville, Snack Pack (lunches) and Hunts.

 Buy $10 dollars in listed items then get $25 in additional savings.
(THIS helps to build your stash or stockpile.....)

All You magazine is sold at Walmart, and has an average of $40 dollars worth of coupons each month.  You have to either get a subscription (LOOK FOR DEALS ONLINE) or buy in the store. Each magazine costs around 2.49 a copy.  I lucked into a subsription for $11 bucks on another website.  My best coupon find in the magazine was my son's favorite beef jerky. 

Coupon for the Jacks beef jerkey was for up $7.99 the bag at Walmart was $8.49 so, a 1/2 pound of beef jerky came out to .49 cents.  I had bought 4 copies that month due to lots of my favorite brands were featured in the magazine. 

NOTE: I had .50 coupons for the magazine --- so, my copies were 1.99 each plus all the coupons I used paid for the magazines but also added to my stash of food and beauty products. That one month, for $25 dollars out of pocket (OOP)  I purchased around $137 dollars worth of items.

ALL YOU magazine online http://www.allyou.com/ there is a free two trial subscription off now.

Remember, build a stockpile of items you use most to help cut your costs.  In this rebate, if you have coupons for the items you purchase; your OOP will be even lower.

Thanks

If you remember this calendar then refer back to Sunday Coupon Review found here:
 
http://www.sundaycouponpreview.com/
 
I go to the Sunday Coupon Preview site to see which coupons will be in the paper for that week usually the coupons are listed by Wednesday and I get the notification via email.  If there is little reason for me to justify buying a paper for the insert then I just use
 
http://www.couponsthingsbydede.com/  (Yes! sign up. Yes they offer special coupon codes to lower your cost. Shipping is extremely fast and worth it.)
 
This is how I plan my shopping around HEB, Walmart (rarely) and Walgreens sales.  I either buy multiple papers for the inserts or actual clipped coupons.
 
NOTEAlways check the papers you buy, I have found some weekends with 'high-value' coupons missing from the Corpus Christi paper but inserted in the San Antonio paper.  Or vice versa.......  Another thing I have noticed is say Smart Source will be totally missing from both papers but Red Plum shows up. 
 
I will be back later to tell you about more 'Rebates' and which sites are good for online manufacturers coupons and samples. 

Remember my goal is $80 a week for a family of four to include all drinks and balanced meals complete with either fresh or frozen produce. (I will buy coupons throughout the year as needed; I already have a $50 budget from rebates I have just recieved from Kelloggs, SC Johnson, Kraft in the last week.)

Talk to you later,
