How I Pinch A Penny

29 Nov

Taking a Break

Posted by: Sarah / Category: Uncategorized

The holidays are at my house in full force. Now is the time we all should be pinching our pennies like never before but I won’t be here to help you as I have in the past. As every one does from time to time I need a break. The coupon match up takes up a big chunk of my day(s). I LOVE helping you save money but with the holidays in full effect I need every ounce of energy to get me through! I will be reposting post from last year as I see fit but I need to take a blogging break. I hope to come back refreshed and full of penny pinching ideas. Merry Christmas!

GIANT / Martins coupon match up w/o 11/15

Posted by: Sarah / Category: coupon, grocery

logo_giant

Please check your local flyer to be sure they are running the same deals as my paper. Need help with the abbreviations? Click HERE to see what the HECK I am talking about!!

Here is my coupon match up list for Giant Food stores. I am using an ad from South Central Pa. As always check your local flyer for participation. Also There are a lot of match ups for Martins. There are some great printable coupons! We also are earning those gas rewards points again! We all love those!

**ok I figured out a small ‘glitch’ in the coupon policy. I am sure I am the only one who didn’t realize the next bit of info but here goes just incase.:

They will not double multiple coupons! ex. You have $.75 off juice. It will double to $1.50 but if you had a second or third of the SAME coupon they will not double it in the same transaction. So be aware and do multiple transactions to maximize your savings!…but watch the deals where you MUST buy X in a single transaction to get the savings.

We are close to Thanksgiving!!! Are you stocking up? The items in ORANGE I will be stocking up on in preparation for Thanksgiving. Just a suggestion!
