HI Everyone!!!

I am sure many of you have wondered where I went to....well, I, first want to apologize!! Sept. 4th, I started a new job. It keeps me on the road and very busy. So, I have had less time here. Then, last week, I got a FLU shot and it got me sooooo sick!! For over a week I have had chest pain, sore throat, weak muscles, fever, coughing, no voice and all around achy. I have NEVER had a flu shot before and I have NEVER been sick like this before.

So, please forgive my lack of posts, I am hoping as things settle down I will be back to posting deals that I have found. I am still not 100%.  I know there are plenty of places to find deals on the internet and I am glad my readers have always read my blog. I apologize for not posting in the past few weeks!!! Is anyone has an extra lung they can share to help me feel better, I would appreciate it! LOL!!!

Hugs to all my Frugal Readers!!!

Excellent deal on the Kraft Cheese!!!!

I posted yesterday about a deal that Jess shared with us. Today I went to Pick N Save to do it and I did great!!! Kraft Cheese is on sale for .99 cents each when you buy 5. Kraft still has that $10 RR when you buy 10. So I bought 10 bags of shredded cheese, 10 packs of Kraft American Cheese Slices and 10 Fresh Takes. I also used coupons that I printed from last weeks post for the Cheese Slices. ( no longer available, so I hope you printed yours!) I had coupons from the Sunday paper for the shredded cheese. Then, I stumbled upon a great deal! The Kraft Fresh Takes are on the .99 cent sale too! ( they are not on the Kraft RR deal!) and right next to the shelf of Fresh Takes were the red pull machines that spit out coupons. It had a coupon for .75 cents off ONE package of Fresh Takes. There was no limit on the coupon. Which makes those .24 cents each!!!!!! So, my total after coupons was $14.51 ( my total is slightly off because my kids each picked up a snack.) and I got $20 in RR's back! I also stocked up on cheese and have some to share!!!! If your store doesn't have the Fresh Take Pull Coupons you can still use this one:
$0.50 off ONE package of KRAFT FRESH TAKE Cheese
It will give you the Fresh Takes for .50 cents a package. :)

Free Back to School 5 by 7 Print from Walmart!

Walmart has a free 5 by 7 print during the month of September. Limit One per child. Offer good on One hour or Instant Print. No coupon required.

Another Pick N Save/ Kraft Deal!!

I have posted a lot of RR deals from Kraft...here is another one!!

Pick N Save has Kraft Cheese Shreads, Kraft Singles, Philadelphia Cream Cheese or Kraft Cheese Chunks.
Buy 5, pay .99 cents each!
So, buy 5 ( any combination) and pay $4.95 and get a $5.00 RR back!

Use the RR when you go double coupon shopping!!

( Thanks Jess! I will be going to Pick N Save tomorrow!!)


PLEASE NOTE: I tried the deal today with the chunk cheese and the cream cheese! Both do NOT give you the RR. IT's the Shreads and Singles ONLY!!!!
