Advance to Free Barking!

Did anyone get my "free barking" Monopoly comparison? Funny, no? Nevermind. I am in a strange mood.

Well, friends. Do you want to know my favorite thing about couponing? New products.


Purina One Beyond just released a $3.00/1 coupon in this Sunday's newspaper. I hope you bought one.
If not, go directly to eBay. Do not pass go, do not collect $200. Buy 20 of them. Want to know why?
Because using two of them will get FREE DOG FOOD!

Publix deal this week: Purina One Beyond dog food, 3.5 pound bag, B1G1 $5.99.
Translation: Use 2, $3.00/1 coupons for a total savings of $6.00.
When you spend $5.99 and save $6.00...saving more than you spend means FREE!
FREE, FREE, FREE, FREE, FREE!

I bought 20 coupons for $3.50 this morning.
I am going to get 20 bags of dog food for $3.50.
I am "technically" getting each bag for .18 cents, but to me, they are free. FREE!

Now, isn't that something to bark about...

Want more?


Philadelphia Cooking Creme.
I have always LOVED waiting an hour or more for my solid BLOCK of cream cheese to hit room temperature before adding it to a recipe, haven't you? This can be used straight out of the refrigerator.
It stays creamy. Oh, and helps make the most pefect cream cheese icing one can lick off their finger!
I made cream cheese icing for my Bailey's irish cream cupcakes this weekend. Best. Stuff. Ever.

Right, back to couponing.
Publix deal: Philadelphia Cooking Creme, 10 oz, 2/$4.
Use $1.50/1 coupon. Duh.
FIFTY CENTS, PEOPLE. FIFTY CENTS!

A little advice? When you see a BRAND NEW PRODUCT, buy coupons for it. It is going to go on sale. Last week Winn Dixie had this exact same sale. Go figure?

Thirsty, anyone?

If you live near a Publix, even one that REFUSES to double coupons like the Florida ones, you will be glad you do.

Propel Zero. Zero calories, zero cost. I should trademark that slogan. I just thought of it.

Propel Zero: 2/$1.00. Coupon available: $1.00/2.
I will give you a minute to realize that means every single bottle is FREE!

I bought 20 coupon from eBay. $4.00, shipping included. (Sure, just 20 coupons...)
Calling all calculators. While my 20 coupons allow 40 bottles to be bought for free, I did spend $4.00 on my 20 coupons. $4.00 divided by 40 bottles?  Hello, President Eisenhower. A tiny little dime.

Get out those piggy banks, it's time to stock up!

See Susie Save.

You requested it. I created it. A coupon blog.

While I do not know what stores are in your particular area of this great nation, I do know what coupons are valuable to us all. Except you, Big Lots. Shame on you. I find it informative to not only tell you what coupons are available, but also where to use them. Here's hoping you have a sharp pair of scissors, a functioning printer, and a couple of minutes to appreciate the fine art of couponing.

If you have any confusion or frustration, I am here. Call me, text me, email me. I will answer your question or find someone who can. Enter my sister. Sarah. She taught me how to coupon. Way mad props, hermana. I owe it all to her. Pause for applause.

If you would like to attend one of my coupon classes, please let me know. It is free. With coupon. :)
