Two Magazine Deals that are TOO amazing to pass up!!

Real Simple, only $1 an issue!!

I love Real Simple for the organizing and recipes, and this is an AMAZING price. Normally it cost $5+ an issue at the grocery store.


ALL YOU, 12 issues for ONLY $5!!

Also, ALL YOU Magazine is a great resource for coupons, recipes, ways to save money, etc. Less than 50 cents an issue is a steal for this magazine; use 1 coupon and you have that issue paid for!!

I'm sure most of you can relate.....shopping with kids can be difficult! Shopping with an infant and a rambunctious 4 year old can be EVEN MORE difficult!! If any of you are ever at the Hill AFB Commissary and you hear a woman hollering across the store, "BAYLEE, GET BACK HERE!" its probably me. My daughter adores babies and other kids and wants to hug them all, even when they are at the complete other end of the isle.

The Commissary truly does have super low prices. There are certain items that I prefer to get in bulk from Winco (pasta, nuts, trail mix, baking items (sugar, flour, etc.), honey, fresh ground peanut butter, spices) but will totally get them from the commissary if their price plus a coupon blows Winco's price out of the water -- obviously! I also like to go to Wal-Mart since they price match any stores ad.

Highlighted below are either deals I personally saw in-store, or featured deals from commissaries.com that are on sale 30% or higher.

Happy Shopping!!

Frozen food savings highlight commissaries in March
March is Frozen Food Month and the NCAA basketball tournament, which means great savings on frozen foods and more for commissary shoppers.
"Your commissary is 'Chillin' in March' with cool pricing in their frozen food section and plenty of savings on goodies as you watch the annual NCAA basketball tournament," said Randy Chandler, DeCA sales director.
DeCA's industry partners - vendors, suppliers and brokers - are collaborating with commissaries in March to offer discounts beyond everyday savings. Overseas stores may have substitute events for certain promotional programs. Customers are asked to check their local commissary for details on dates and times for the following promotions:
  • NestlĂ© and Acosta are offering in-store coupons and price reductions throughout stores worldwide. The promotion is highlighted by their product displays, March 6 - April 2.
  • ConAgra Foods will feature the "ConAgra Foods 75¢ Sale" from March 6 to 19 with select items priced at 75 cents in commissaries worldwide. Their website, www.conagracommissarydeals.com, also has coupons customers can print and use in commissaries.
  • Webco features Ocean Spray's "Chillin Dollar Day Sale" pallet sale through March 5. Also, prices will be reduced for a variety of Ocean Spray items in stateside stores. Look for the mass displays and banners from March 1 to 15.

Also, don't forget to pick up and register a Commissary REWARDS card, which you can download coupons directly onto. They can be found on the bookshelf near the seating/coffee area at the front of the store.

New prices to hit tomorrow. More specials to come!!

2nd Visit This Week

I get the Red Plum coupons in Tuesday's mail, along with the plethora of other ads: Smith's, Kents, Rite Aid, etc. and am always disappointed that I can only get one copy of these coupons. Some are available on Redplum.com, but usually not the truly good coupons like Nivea's $3/2 Lip Products. That coupon usually guarantees free lip care at the Commissary, as it did this trip. In fact, it was a money maker because they were $1.35 each. Since I was in the vicinity again, my son and I took another trip and also found these great deals.

HMC stands for Hanging Manufacturer Coupon. These are located right by the product.

Bordeaux Butt Paste $3.30 - $.50 HMC = $2.80 (Bordeaux is my favorite brand of butt paste; however if your little one has a severe rash, try putting Extra Virgin Coconut Oil on it. May sound weird, but the properties in the oil are amazing and will take care of the rash quicker than anything else.)

Kandoo Hand Soap $2.39 - Save $1 on any Kandoo Personal Care Product (excludes wipes) = $1.39

Playtex Coolster (sippy cup) $2.24 - $1 HMC = $1.24
Finding Nemo Sippy Cut $2.17 - $1 HMC = $1.17

Nivea Lip $1.35 - $3/2 MC from the 2/4 RP = 2 FREEBIES

Little Remedies Saline Spray/Drops $2.84 - $1 HMC = $1.84

Got2b Stylers $3.47 - $2 MC from the 2/4 RP = $1.47

Secret Clinical Deodorant $5.70 - Save $2 on one Secret Clinical Antiperspirant/Deodorant = $3.70

Schick Quatro Razors (men's & women's) $4.85 - $2 MC from the 1/12 SS = $2.85 Or you can use the $2 HMC that is located down by the shave gels.

Simple Cleanser $3.99 - Buy Cleanser/Moisturizer, Get Wipes Free MC from the 1/26 RP ($3.19 Value) = $2 each product

Select Wholly Guacamole product $1.99 - $2/2 MC from the ?? = $1 each wyb 2

Yoplait Greet Yogurt $.75 - Save $1 on 5 Yoplait Greek Cups = $.55 each wyb 5

Yoplait Original Yogurt Cups $.39 - Save $.40 on 6 Yoplait Cups = $.32 each wyb 6

Yoplait GoGurt $1.89 - Save $.75 on 2 Yoplait GoGurts = $1.52 each wyb 2

Clorox 55 fl. oz. $1.50

Folgers K Cups $4.95 (I have a Tassimo coffee maker and totally wish I could trade it for a Keurig K cup maker. The cups are so much cheaper and there is a greater variety.)

Kellogg's Cheerios and Honey Nut Cheerios $2 - Save $1 on 2 boxes any flavor Cheerios cereals = $1.50 each

Nestle Toll House Morsels $1.12 each

Reynolds Baking Cups Pastels $.52 - Save $1 on 2 Reynolds Baking Cups = $.02 each

Never enough time to catch all the deals....

Finally made it to the Commissary again. I had gone one more time before this post, but I never got around to posting the deals I found. Oops--oh well. C'est la vie, right?

I'll try to keep a flow to my posts as you would go through the store. Start in the cart area, enter the secondary doors and look at the deals to the left, go through the produce area, then meat, cheese and dairy, vitamins and personal care next, then baby, etc., up and down the isles. For those of you familiar with this commissary, you know that you will find deals on Rotel diced tomatoes or peanut butter across the isle from diapers. Or there may be a gum stand in the same isle as female products.

I also have to say that I may not post about items I don't agree with, even if they are a steal. Like Hormel REV wraps. If your too lazy to put a piece of meat and cheese on a tortilla and roll it, you deserve to pay full price. Things like that are the bane of my existence. Well, not really, but I'm on a health kick! And I don't have pets, but I do have kids. So you will see deals reflecting that too.

Ok....here are the deals I've found. Really good deals are highlighted in red.

Swiss Miss Hot Cocoa 10 pk: $.70
