Facebook Coupon Update

Direct from the Facebook Check It Out Application Page:

*** IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT - EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY ***
Dear Check It Out User,

Thank for your support and enthusiasm, the response has been overwhelmingly positive. Our guiding principle is to help you stretch your household budget as far as possible, particularly in these challenging economic times. Please continue to help us with this goal as we address the current unfortunate situation. As many of you may have heard, our system was breeched resulting in the illegal spreading of fraudulent copies of our coupons via email or PDF. We are extremely saddened by this occurrence and understand the frustration that many of you feel, as we have families and children of our own.

That said, it has been several days since the print limits of our offers were reached. Unfortunately copies of the coupons are still being illegally circulated on the Internet, making it impossible to determine which are legitimate and which are not. Each of our coupons clearly states that "offer void if altered or copied.

Our teams are working diligently to resolve all issues so we can continue bringing you quality offers.

It is an unfortunate but sad reality; however, in order to protect our retailers and all of you responsible coupon users, all coupons will now be considered invalid copies. We are working with all industry players and word is going out to the retailers to not accept them.

The abuse by the few has lead to this decision which sadly affects the many. Despite this setback, the overall result of our initial launch has been overwhelmingly successful. We are currently working with manufacturers and sponsors to bring you a wider range of offers based largely on the products that you told us you wanted to see."

Today's Shopping

Here is a picture of this week's shopping!

My total after coupons and one rebate was .40! I also purchased 4 loaves of whole grain bread and 2 cartons of soy milk that are not in the picture (ran out of room on my table). I would have paid $197.05 without coupons/rebate. I shopped at Target, Kmart, Walmart, and Hy-Vee.

This is a great example of how asking friends/family/coworkers for extra copies of the Sunday paper coupon inserts can really boost your shopping. I was able to get multiples of several items because I had multiple copies of Sunday coupons. (A big thanks to those who so generously give me their coupons!)

Do I need 2 diabetic monitors when I am not diabetic? Nope. However, the monitors cost between $16-$19. The coupon from the Sunday paper was a $20 coupon. The overage helps pay for some of my other groceries. The monitors can be given to a friend, sole unopened at a garage sale, or donated to the local nursing home.

Shopping at Amazon...Saving on Gas

For a limited time, you can save an additional 40% on more than 2,000 grocery items that are already on clearance. Use the following code when you check out: AUGMKDWN.

I found that I could get items for about the same price as a good sale/coupon in the store. If it is difficult for you to get to the store or you have to drive a long way, this might save you some money.

There are some gluten-free/organic/natural items included as well.
