King Soopers Deas & Updates 10/19-10/25

King Soopers Deals for 10/19-10/25

The Pepsico Q’s expire on 10/22!!!!
There is a new King Soopers coupon policy. You can view and print the entire policy here:
King Soopers Coupon Policy

There are two changes that I want to point out to you:

We reserve the right to limit no more than five (5) paper manufacturer coupons for the same product, each coupon value considered (1) coupon in the same transaction.
Only five (5) Internet Coupons per manufacturer per Customer, per day.

Reader Kelli on another blog posted a comment further explaining the changes:

Limit of 5 coupons per manufacturer MINUS the grocery lingo means 5 coupons per like UPC. In short, this is GOOD NEWS prior to this you could only have three coupons, per like UPC. This rule is PER Customer PER Day.

Now let’s move to internet coupons, the policy should have read 5 coupons per brand per day, not manufacturer. The reason we limit these is due to the increase in fraud on these coupons. These are also limited by Customer, by day.

Coupons will still double up to $1.00 except for the following exceptions:
Electronic Coupons
Store Coupons
Catalina Coupons
Free Coupons
Items prohibited by law

What do you think about this new policy?

Extreme Couponing Meets Extreme Production in Reality TV

This article was written over a year ago when the show Extreme Couponing first aired on TLC.  Denver Bargains re-posted it last week, when a couple from Thorton, Colorado was featured on Extreme Cuponing. I'm re-posting because, although I love watching the show, I think all too often viewers are unaware of the acctual reality of using coupons in stores. I know that you can't really purchase groceries and other items at practically no cost every day.  It takes lots of careful planning, hours of going through inserts, on-line coupon data bases, and matching up the sales with the best coupons.  Now that this show has become so popular, stores are changing policies and becoming more strict about enforcing limits.  With this comes frustrated couponers.  If you have any questions about how to save your family money feel free to email me!

Extreme Couponing Meets Extreme Production in Reality TV
Posted On December 30, 2010 (11:30 am) In Frugal Life

By now you’ve either watched, or heard about the Extreme Couponing special TLC aired on Wednesday night.  It’s been all the talk about money-saving blogs like this one, and even made it to a trending topic on Twitter briefly.
The show features four so-called “extreme couponers”, who all seem to have slightly different styles and strategies.

• Nathan buys over 1,000 boxes of cereal and donates it to his church.
• Joanie dumpster dives for coupons.
• Amanda admits to having cancelled plans with family and friends to go coupon shopping.
• Joyce showed her friends how to save big with coupons.

Many people – both coupon users and non-couponers -  were shocked and appalled at some of the things revealed in the show.  Storing enough toilet paper to last for 30 years?  Carrying insurance on your food stockpile?  Using thousands of coupons at the checkout?
People who don’t use coupons are asking Is this how everyone who uses coupons behaves?
And those of us who do coupon shop are saying how on earth is that possible?  I could never use that many coupons at the checkout!
So, here’s the actual reality behind the “reality” TV show Extreme Couponing:

You cannot use 1,000 coupons in one transaction.

The scenario of using over 1,000 coupons in a single transaction and taking two hours to check out is simply not realistic.  I’m about 99.99% sure this was only done for reality TV.
Almost all stores have a limit of the number of coupons you can use in one transaction, and for good reason.  Expecting to use that many coupons in one transaction is simply unrealistic and extremely exaggerated.  This was made for TV.

You cannot get four carts of groceries for $2.50 every single day.

Yes, with careful planning and a generous supply of coupons, you can get carts full of groceries for pennies on the dollar.  However, it is not possible to do that every single time you go to the grocery store.
It’s fun to showcase those amazing shopping trips, but even extreme couponers don’t get that much stuff for that little every day.

Coupons cost money.

Almost no one mentions that most people pay something get coupons, whether it be a newspaper subscription, or ordering coupons online through a clipping service (which I believe is not ethical due to the terms on most coupons, but that’s neither here nor there).
You can get free coupons by dumpster diving or trading with friends, but most people spend at least a few dollars every week buying extra newspapers to get the coupons or something similar.
No one ever mentions that in order for someone to get $500 worth of groceries for $50, they also spend $20 to obtain coupons before they ever got to the store.  That doesn’t make for sensational saving stories.

You can’t eat deodorant and toilet paper.

OK, from my understanding, there actually was a showing about someone eating toilet paper right after the Extreme Couponing segment.  But let’s wipe that memory from our mind and remember that you do have to eat something other than deodorant and toilet paper.
One couponer had a huge stockpile of salad dressing.  That’s awesome – I love free salad dressing!  But, in order for that dressing to actually be useful, you’d need to buy, you know, salad.
I didn’t watch the show (we’re so frugal we don’t have cable, which might be its own reality show: Extreme People Without TV) but I haven’t heard that they showed the extreme couponer getting carts of lettuce for free.
Now, I’m not saying you can’t get lettuce for free.  I’ve definitely gotten some free fruits and vegetables before with the smart matching of coupons and sales, but it’s not the norm.
There are many foods you can get for cheap with coupons, but it’s rarely a well-rounded diet.  Even extreme couponers need to spend money on meat, dairy, and produce, even if they get the rest for free.  Then again, I suppose you could only eat the macaroni and cheese you got for free, but even that would require milk and butter.
Just remember that they didn’t follow these people 24/7 to show what their families were eating.  They do make purchases that aren’t 90% off, but that doesn’t make for good TV.

Donating is great, but leave some for the rest of us.

I love getting non-perishable foods and toiletries for free and donating to a food pantry.  But when it comes to taking the entire stock that a store has just so you can donate, that’s gone too far.  It’s bad for the store, the manufacturer, and the rest of the consumers which might actually be couponing because they can’t afford to pay full price.
To be sure, I’ve bought 10 or 15 or 20 of an item at once time to stock my pantry for a few months.  But it’s never a good idea to completely clear the shelf just so you can donate it.

Extreme couponers get banned from stores.

If someone shopped in this extreme couponing manner at just about any store in the United States, they would eventually be banned from the store.  Most people never have to worry about this, but if you take 2 hours to check out and crash the computer system, they aren’t going to let you shop there every day.
Yes, I’ve heard of people who have been banned, and I believe they deserved it.  They tried to do stuff that was illegal, and if not illegal, simply unethical.  They were rude when the store wouldn’t accept a coupon, and made a public scene.
Now, I don’t think the people in the show were not doing anything illegal or unethical.  But, aside from wanting to look good on reality TV, a store would never have allowed that kind of shopping.

Couponing can save money without ruining your life.

I’m a huge believer in the power of coupons to save money in all areas of life.  After all, I created Grocery University, which is a nearly 2.5 hour course that teaches how to use coupons strategically to save money.
By investing a little bit of time each week (how much you spend is up to you!), you can save big money with coupons.  In fact, my goal (which I usually hit, but not always) is to save 50% on my total bill.  I often hit a lot more than that, but it doesn’t require spending 70 hours clipping coupons and going to stores.
My husband isn’t mad about the amount of space my stockpile takes up.  Cashiers don’t dread seeing me coming because I’m going to make everyone in line mad with how long it takes me to checkout.
My family’s life is better because I use coupons.

Reality TV is not reality.

Again, I haven’t seen the show, though I’m hoping to soon.  But I would bet that a good percentage of it was extremely exaggerated just for “reality” TV.
A blog reader said that the dumpster diving lady was told to get in the dumpster instead of just searching through the papers from the side as she normally does.  Dumpster diving is a whole lot more exciting when you’re inside the dumpster with your kids, even if that’s not what she actually does.
Hopefully by now you knew that reality TV is not reality.
Couponing can save big bucks.  I can teach you how to do it, but it won’t be exciting enough for a TLC segment anytime soon.

Growing up fast!

It just occured to me Sunday afternoon, that time sure does fly!!!!! I always got told growing up that my parents should put bricks on my head, and I always wanted to be older.  But, now that I'm a parent I see the wisdom in putting bricks on my kids heads! My youngest will be 2 in one month!  I can't believe how much he has changed just in the last six months! He talks non-stop, understands, answers, and even tells you what he wants. To put it simply, HE'S GROWING TOO FAST!!!  I'm not ready for my baby to be a little boy. I'm not ready for my little boys to be a year older either. My oldest recently turned 8, and my second will be 4!!! Eight years old......eight years ago I became a parent, had to grow up, had to put someone elses needs before my own. Shocking I know, but it seems that at the very moment I held my first child, and the second and third, I knew that that very moment was what God had put me on this planet for. For my kids.  All three of my boys each give me a new purpose, a new look at life, a new love I didn't think I was capable of.  Yes, there are moments I would love to escape it all, when all three are complaining, after changing the 6th stinky diaper in a row, after trying to play referee during a scwable.  But the sweet smile, huge hug, and soft little voice that says momma makes every bit of it worth while.

I am so thankful for my little blessings that God entrusted to me to care for!  Thank you Lord......thank you Lord... ....THANK YOU LORD!!!!
