Free Gatorade at Safeway!! 7/27 - 8/09

I just noticed the Big Beverage Event Mix & Match Sale starts today.  If you buy 10 participating items (12 pack Pepsi, Gatorade, Propel are listed but I'm sure there are many others included) you save $.50 on each item.  Way back in May I was able to score 4 of those $1 off any (3) 32oz Gatorade products peelies while on vacation.  If you have these, here is how it works up:

Buy 12 Gatorade 32 oz. at $.49 each after $.50 discount
use (4) $1 off purchase of 3 Gatorade peelie
use (4) Doubl'rs
Price:  Free (plus deposit)

Softsoap Pampered Hands Foaming Soap for $.49!

If you were lucky enough to print this coupon off brinks.coupons.com you can get it for $.49 at Safeway right now.  Here's how it works up:

Softsoap Pampered Hands Foaming Soap (Raspberry or Tangerine) on sale for $1.99
use $1.00 off Softsoap Pampered Hands Foaming Soap Internet Coupon
use Doubl'r (-$.50)
Price:  $.49

These coupons first became available on Friday but quickly reached their print limit.  They became available again yesterday and when I went to print my second set this morning they had again reached their print limit.  Glad I at least got the first two.  This is a new product so hopefully coupons will be coming out in the RP & SS inserts!

Spices, Spices & More Spices!

Today I found tons of spices in the clearance section at Safeway.  They had some on the shelves as well as 3 or 4 crates full.  As for as I could tell they all have expiration dates that are several years out so you should be good to stock up.  Also, most of them were the higher end spices so even at 50% off you had to know it's a better deal than the Safeway brand.

Here is what I ended up with (prices listed are the final sale price):
M&B Pure Vanilla for $8.45 (regular $16.95!!)
M&B Rosemary for $3.30
Red Chili Flakes for $3.60 (really...I just liked the jar but could have done better I think on price)
Cayenne Pepper for $3.50

I also saw Thyme, Oregano, Basil & Cumin but thought I could do better with those basics at the Dollar store or Walgreens.  There were also many other spices, some of which I have never even heard of.  There were also a lot of vanilla beans but I very rarely use them.

There ya have it now go get your spice on!!

Free Tall Beverage of Your Choice at Safeway Starbucks

This is the second time I've received this offer so I thought I'd post about it.  I bought a coffee at Starbucks and when my receipt printed it gave me a survey offer.  Go online, fill out a short survey, get the verification code, write it on your receipt, go pick up your tall beverage of choice for free!  Don't forget to bring your original receipt and validation code with you.  Limit one per household per month.  Survey available for 14 days after your initial purchase.  Beverage offer expires after 30 days.

Looking forward to my free Tall Caramel Macchiato!  Mmmmm...mm!

I'll continue to post my monthly box contents for you all to enjoy along with me.  If any of you end up subscribing, please post about your box contents as well.  It would be interesting to see what kinds of different treats we end up with.

Bic Soleil Razors for $1.49 at Safeway

As I was making a list for my Target run today, I noticed they have Bic Soleil razors on sale for $4.49.  With the $3/1 coupon from 7/10 SS you can get them for $1.49.  The problem is razors seem to be in hot demand these days.  So...if Target is out we can take our $3/1 coupon to Safeway where the Bic Soleil razors are always $4.99.  With coupon and double this brings the price down to $1.49.  Happy shaving!

New Safeway Doubl'r Hits Molalla Safeway

Well, it was bound to happen.  Here is a glimpse of the new Safeway Doublers.  Not only do they have a new appearance, they also have much more verbiage to sort through and more restrictions.  I'm sad they have arrived in Molalla.  Hopefully they go away next week.  :)

It Has Arrived...My First Birchbox, That Is!

In case you missed it, Hip2Save did a post on these really cool Birchboxes.  For $10 a month you get 4 or 5 high end beauty product samples sent to your home.  The samples are much larger than what we are used to and you often get full sized products.  I happen to be a "product" junkie and love the good stuff.  It's fun to try but I hate wasting money on it.  I usually shop at Sephora.  They treat me well and always have free samples of facial care products in the store for me to try.  I have super sensitive skin so it's a great way to try a product before purchasing.  Sephora will either give you a prepackaged sample or they will make one up for you on the spot.  Love that place!!

Back to Birchbox, if you missed the posting, here it is:  http://hip2save.com/2011/06/birchbox-spoil-yourself-for-10-per-month.html

Well, here is what I ended up with for my first box.

Cute packaging designed by Cynthia Rowley

Having worked in marketing, I appreciate a nice presentation.

Contents Include: Redken 5th Avenue Shine Brillance Spray, Zoya Professional Nail Lacquer in Shay, Ahava Mineral Hand Cream, Purity Made Simple One-Step Facial Cleanser and a Kind Almond & Apricot Bar.

I'll admit, the Kind bar kinda threw me for a loop but now I have an excuse to try a flavor I probably wouldn't have bought otherwise.  My daughter and I both loved the Ahava Mineral Hand Cream.  Made my hands feel like silk, literally!  And the Zoya Nail Lacquer is brilliantly simple yet classy and feminine.  I've yet to try the Kind bar or the Purity Facial Cleanser but will do so this evening before bed.

Thus far I am really happy with my Birchbox purchase.  As a very busy stay at home mum to 2 little ladies I rarely take time to pamper myself.  I have a feeling Birchbox arrival day is going to be something I truly look forward to each month.  Cheers to busy ladies feeling pampered and beautiful!!

July Fresh Ideas Mazine w/ Coupons is in

I found the July edition of Fresh Ideas Magazine in the produce section across the aisle from the bell peppers.  It has many yummy looking recipies as well as some coupons.  There are also a couple articles on summer produce if you are interested. 

The July issue features the following coupons:

$2 off One Fresh Express Salad Kit
$1 offf One Eating Right 15 oz. Bag Sugar Snap Peas
$1 off One 32 oz. Bottle of Bolthouse Farms or BomDia Beverages
$.50 off One Garden Hwy Fruit Bowls

As always these coupons are not subject to doubling and are only redeemable at Safeway stores.

Just a reminder...DON'T STEAL OTHER'S COUPON INSERTS!!!

I know this doesn't apply to most of you but here's a little reminder to the rest.  Please be honest in your couponing.  I finally took the time to subscribe to the Super Saver Oregonian and somehow I am still left with no coupons.  Why you ask?  Because someone is stealing them!  The first week they took our Sunday & Tuesday paper (I'm guessing since the Oregonian said they did in fact deliver them).  This weekend they just opened the paper up, took the coupon inserts out and left the paper on the ground.  Seriously?  I'm sorry but who would do that.  Complete lack of class in my opinion.  I find this odd being that we live in the country (5 miles up above Colton), on a dead end road, last house on the road before a private gravel drive (with a couple other houses on it).  Now I'm stuck paying for the papers and without the coupons.  Thanks thieving couponer.  What a lovely, kind thing you have done.

Can you tell I'm still a little annoyed about the situation?   I'm sorry but I have to say it.  I just can't believe people are willing to become a thief just to save a little money.  To the rest of you, I hope none of you are having to deal with the same kind of problems.  I guess it's time to cancel the subscription although my husband wants to set up the "trail" camera and catch them in action so we can turn them in to the authorities.  That would be interesting....

Okay, maybe we'll keep Coupon Molalla for a bit longer....

I've had several people tell me they use the site frequently so I'm thinking I'll keep it going.  I'm not going to make it my mission to do several posts each week but I'll do posts when I find a good deal.  Summer is a busy time for everyone so I really don't want to drag my girls through the stores when I can be home playing outside with them.  :)  Stay tuned!

Closing Up Shop!

Well, I'm sad to say I'm closing up shop on Coupon Molalla.  My hope was to create a place for all to share their coupon finds in Molalla but it seems no one is in need of such a blog.  I've yet to receive one post from a blog follower.  {sad face}

Thanks for a fun couple of months & happy couponing all!!
