a little something to talk about

I picked up a Sunday paper today and I was thrilled to see how many coupons were included. Although this won't mean anything for you non-locals... the PARADE section in the Corpus Christi paper even has coupons. I don't really know why I never looked there before, but I was happily surprised to see coupons in there too. :) Guess I really should "read" the paper I buy.

Last Sunday I just had the P&G SuperSaver plus whatever coupons were in the sale ads that I post here. This Sunday, I got the RedPlum coupons AND SmartSource coupons. Landry's seafood also had a coupon that caught my attention. They are offering FREE bananas foster with purchase of 2 dinner entrees. It happens to be my favorite dessert. That could make a very lovely date night for my husband and I. ;)

It's getting late where I am and I need my sleep because tomorrow I'm back on 24 hour mom-only duty. With three kids 5 and under, I'm sure you'll understand the energy they create and how much sleep I need to keep up with them. :) I will be posting tomorrow the deals created from these coupons and these weekly ads. I'll also post another coupons and freebies entry.

One last thing, I wanted to mention that I headed out to Walmart tonight considering their back to school sale began today. They were already almost out or completely out of every REALLY good deal. The 5 cent single subject spiral notebooks were COMPLETELY GONE! Lots of empty boxes, but no spiral notebooks ANYWHERE in the store. Lots of other things were slim to none. I did happen to grab a package of the $3 printer paper they had on sale. Those were almost all gone too. I actually had to find some outside of the back to school section and even that stack was almost gone! I guess my best advice for these weekly ads is to get there as soon as you can. Also, see a manager and try to get a raincheck if they'll allow it. That way if they can't stay stocked this week, you can get more at the same price the following week. The sales usually last one week, so unless it says "quantities limited" or "limited supply" or "no rainchecks" or something like that, you should be able to get a raincheck on the last day of sale if there are no supplies left at that price.
