My first Pampers Gifts to Grow Redemption

If you have little ones and use Pampers products then be sure to sign up for the Gifts to Grow program. If you haven't noticed them before each package of diapers will have a sticker with a code on it. Enter your codes to collect points, redeem your points for goodies! I wanted to get a jump start on some holiday gifts and my little guy is currently in love with puzzles. Since he also has an ongoing love affair with dinosaurs I thought this would be perfect for him. It also came with a bonus package of travel wipes (can never have too many of those!) and arrived surprisingly quick (a little over a week).

My Favourite Shopping Deals This Week

Welcome to another new weekly blog addition, My Favourite Shopping Deals of the Week. Each week I will pick a couple of deals that are tops in my books. Feel free to share your favourite shopping deals as well!

Shoppers Drug Mart:
Did you pick up the booklet with the Smuckers Jam Coupon I told you about a couple of weeks ago? I hope so because here is a great chance to use them. This week Shopper's has Smuckers Jam on for $1.99, use your $1 off coupon and your jam is just 99cents. Rumor has it that you also receive 150 bonus points per jar, however since my Shoppers was out of stock I can't actually verify this myself. I did get a raincheck to check back next time I'm in.
Chocolate Milk just 99cents. A treat for my little guy who has been feeling under the weather this week (of course I'm waiting until his tummy feels better to give it to him!)

Food Basics:
There were a TON of great deals this week but a couple of my fav's were Dempsters Smart Bread on sale for $2. If you are still carrying around your coupon (I was) this makes your bread....FREE!
My location also had a cart full of reduced Gilette body washes (amongst other things) so if you have the $2 off coupon  it would also make it....FREE!

My Metro Trip!

Thanks to a little help from my mom I was able to make a couple of shopping stops this week. I was anxious to get to Metro over the weekend since they had bananas on sale (can't wait until the reno's at our Walmart are done and they become a superstore than I can just price match). Anyways, here were my yummy deals (also managed to find some new coupons too!)

2 bunches of bananas   $1.25
Natrel Coffee Cream   $3.99-FPC coupon from here (no longer available) = FREE
Oasis Fruit Juice          $2.99- $1 coupon from Allen's Apple Juice Can = $1.99
Nature Valley Granola Bars $1.99-$1.00 coupon = $.99
2xPeek Freans Cookies @$1.99ea- Buy One Get One Free Coupon from Facebook= $1.99

Total OOP (Out of Pocket) including taxes $6.54

I'm sad to see summer go but there have been some great new coupons lately! If you haven't stopped by http://gocoupons.ca/ lately then be sure to stop by and grab your coupons for yogurt and Royale Bath Tissue. I just used my last coupon so I'm glad to see they are back up again.

Cookie lovers this one is for you! Sometime today you can stop by and like Peek Freans Lifestyle Selections cookies on Facebook to receive your Buy One, Get One Free coupon.

Last but not least be sure to check out your local grocery store for lots of great coupons. This week I have found coupons for $1 off any Melitta Coffee, Save 75 cents wub any 2 Campbell's Ready to Use Broths, finally found some of the 75 cents off Black Diamond cheese, Save 50cents off Diana Gravy (I love their bbq sauce so thought I might like to try these in a pinch at dinner) AND I found a lovely little booklet put out by Smuckers that includes coupons for jam, Adam's peanut butter, Robin Hood Oats, Carnation milk, Eggos, Folgers, Gay Lea Spreadables and Dempsters Bread. Whew! What a find!

Canadian Couponing: My Food Basics + Canadian Tire

If you are a frequent reader you may have noticed two things:
1) I added a little tracker in my sidebar but I lost track post baby/in the midst of my Heartsy deal how much I've actually been saving. That's not to say that I haven't been sale/flyer watching and matching my coupons because I sure have, I don't think I can ever shop any other way again. I guess since my tracker is behind I will have to work even harder to get it caught up by the end of the year!
2) I haven't been updating my fabulous shopping trips as much. I promise that I will post more frequently now that the new baby is 3 months old (already...how did that happen) and I am actually sleeping a reasonable amount of time most nights. I also want to focus on some local couponing, where to get coupons, what is available where, and any great sales prices! Good deals are in bold!

So on to the shoppping!!!!

Canadian Tire:
A couple of weeks ago there was a $2 off of propane along with the Canadian Tire flyer in the Kawartha Lakes This Week. Needed propane and were heading to Food Basics so just made sense to do it all in one trip. Also used the 8X Canadian Tire Money when you buy gas coupon on the back of this week's Canadian Tire flyer and put some go go juice in the car.

Food Basics:
Rougemont Apple Juice- on for 99cents a can. Used 50cents off WUB2 (when you buy 2)= 75cents/can
Broccoli -97cents (saved approx $1)
Hotdog and hamburger buns (12 packs) 2/$5= 58 cents savings
Dempsters Whole Grain Breads 2/$5= 58 cents savings-$1 coupon= $1.58 saved!
2xAlphagettis on sale for 59 cents a can! (saved approx. $1)
Cherries on sale for $1.88/lb
24 pack of Selections Natural Spring Water $1.88
Whole Chickens (approx 3lbs) $4.99each (saved approx. $5)

Total coupons: $2.66
Approx. additional savings: $7)
