Sign Up to Save at Payless Shoesource

I just got another 20% coupon for Payless Shoesource and was so excited! I had no idea that Payless Shoes had a mailing list, though I should have. Before the wedding, I was buying shoes for the girls and the cashier suggested I proved my e-mail address. I've gotten 2 coupons since then (so I'm guessing it's once a month!). Just go here and enter your e-mail address at the bottom and you should start receiving those coupons.

Battery Deals - STOCK UP FOR CHRISTMAS!

Jacque from the MOMS Club sent me this regarding CVS:

Sara, just wanted to let you know that CVS has an awesome sale on Duracell batteries this week. Buy $20 get $15 Extra Bucks. You can do this 3 times. If you use coupons with this deal it is even better! I did it 3 times (and got 4 bottles of Revlon nail polish) and a spent less then $5 out of pocket. I also have $15 Extra Bucks to use on my next purchase.

Also, I was looking at the Rite Aid deals this week and they too have a battery deal. If you purchase $20 worth of Copper Top Duracell batteries, you get a $10 rebate (LIMIT 1). They have the same deal if you buy rechargeable batteries, so in total are 2 rebates available. Not as good as CVS, but if you have a lot of coupons to use, you can get a lot of batteries for cheap! Plus, if you spend the following between November 16 and December 24 at Rite Aid you get:

Spend $25.00-$50.00 for a $5.00 Rite Aid Gift Certificate OR
Spend $50.01-$100.00 for a $10.00 Rite Aid Gift Certificate OR
Spend $100.01 or more for a $20.00 Rite Aid Gift Certificate

CVS Week of October 12, 2008

I scored a great deal this week! I have been in the market for a rechargeable power toothbrush for sometime. I bought a crest one a few months ago but the batteries die quickly and it is bulky. This week at CVS, the Oral-B Pulsonic toothbrush (retailing at over $70) is on sale for $59.99 with $20 ECB bringing it to $39.99. There was a $5 coupon in one of the P&G coupon booklets and this week there is a mail-in rebate for $15 so the final total comes to $20! Since I have been looking for quite some time, I snagged this deal up!

Transaction #1:

Oral-B Pulsonic Toothbrush $59.99
Used $6 ECB and $5 coupon TOTAL: $52.77

Pork Chops with Apples and Stuffing

With the canned apple pie mix I will buy at Shaw's this week and the pork chops I have saved in the freezer from a sale a few weeks ago, I will be making a recipe I know my family will eat - it's not glamorous but it's easy and yummy. I got the recipe from the Taste of Home magazine.

6 boneless pork loin chops
1 Tbsp vegetable oil
1 pkg (6 oz) crushed stuffing mix (i.e. Stove Top)
1 can (21 oz) apple pie filling with cinnamon

In a skillet, brown pork chops in oil over medium-high heat. Meanwhile, prepare stuffing according to package directions. Spread pie filling into a greased 13x9 inch baking dish. Place the pork chops on top; spoon stuffing over chops.

Cover and bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes. Uncover and bake 10 minutes longer or until a meat thermometer reads 160 degrees.

Yield: 6 servings
