Here are all the deals in the Kroger ad starting 2/26. This is just a normal week with no mega events or special deals. You will see things marked around the store as “cartbuster deals” this is just a normal sale tag, so don’t fall prey to thinking that they are all great deals… some are, and some aren’t.

      Get Premium Coupons in the Savings Club!

      I shared earlier this week that Coupons.com was offering a FREE year of their savings club right now, if you didn’t jump on it you still have a chance.

      Their savings club normally costs $30 for year and gives you access to exclusive coupons. I don’t know that I would pay for this normally, but if they are giving out a free year, there is no reason not too accept the deal!

      Heads up that you will be required to enter a credit card when you sign up. Nothing will be charged, but at the end of your free year it will auto renew so make sure that you cancel your membership before your renewal if you don’t want it.

      Here’s an idea of the exclusive coupons I got earlier this week:

      -$1.35 off Bob Evans Sausage Links or Rolls, printable
      -$1.25 off Dimetapp product, printable
      -$1.25 off Robitussin product, printable

        This was an off week for me from shopping.  I pondered the cereal sale at Publix, and stood in my pantry for a good 20 minutes pondering again whether I should go.  But… we already have at least 15 boxes of cereal and I just can’t justify spending the money when I know that it will come on sale again and we just don’t need it right now.

        We have had a fun time of attempting to be frugal this week.  We have been at Opryland in Nashville for a blogging conference called Blissdom.  (I have to thank Veggie Tales for sponsoring me so that I was able to attend.)  I don’t know if you have ever been here, but it’s just plain expensive.  The rooms all the way to the food.  So we started our journey packed with peanut butter & jelly, bread, easy mac and other easy hotel meals.  I was thinking that surely an expensive hotel room would have a microwave… that was a silly thought.  So we learned that you make a lot of things with hot water from a coffee pot!

        We did splurge a little bit, and took the girls to the Grand Ole Opry tonight.  Don’t worry though, we found a coupon code for that even!

        How did you do this week on savings? Leave a link or a comment.

                  New Coupon Barcode Databar


                  If you’ve printed coupons recently you probably have noticed that the barcodes are a little funny.  Coupons are switching over to a new bar code system called the GS1 Databar.

                  Updating the coupon format is intended to make it easier for manufacturer’s to specify what they want the coupon used for and more easily enforce it at the register. They are now able to have more options for purchase requirements, values, and have more complex offers.

                  You have heard me say over and over that you should always follow the wording on a coupon and this new system allows the register to make sure you meet the requirements instead of a cashier.  The barcode is equipped to include all language like do not double, product sizes and even flavors so the requirements should be really clear to everyone upfront.

                  With the new system:

                  • Coupon value codes can now be in any amount up to $999.99, and they are not limited to a table of only 100 possibilities like the old system.
                  • Precise offer descriptions and validation of offers involving specified quantity purchases can now be expressed.
                  • Fraud is reduced due to complexity of description and save values. Also, the entire barcode encoded data is not presented in human readable format.
                  • Automatic expiration date checking for retailers.
                  • Coupons can be made store specific.

                  But what does this mean for you as a couponer?

                  This means you have less to worry about. Since you will know exactly what the coupon is intended for, you won’t have to worry about if a coupon will work. Also, you won’t have to worry as much about coupon fraud. People will not be able to use a coupon for an item that it is not intended for, or easily make fraudulent coupons.

                  You should have less hassle with cashiers as well. Since it is more obvious to you and the cashier what the coupon is intended for, there are less “hard to handle” coupons. You should be able to avoid the past frustration of knowing a that coupon is valid for a product, but the cashier disagreeing.

                  During the transition to the new system, some stores may have issues with the new bar code. Many coupons have both bar codes during the transition, which should help. However, you may have noticed an increasing number of printable coupons without the traditional barcode.

                  This should be remedied soon as all stores will have to update their systems. Until then, some stores may have to enter the coupon manually or not accept it (many people have experienced issues with Walmart not accepting them).

                  In the end, the hope of this new system is to make it easier for manufacturer’s to ensure that coupons are being used correctly. This helps to encourage manufacturer’s to continue to offer great coupons. It also means that as long as you are using coupons correctly, the new system shouldn’t cause you any problems.

                  If you are ready to test it out for yourself, you can go ahead and print coupons to check out the new barcode.  If you are new to couponing, you can learn more about how to coupon here.

                  For those of you who want more in depth technical details on the new system, check out the GS1Databar site for more info.

                  What has been your experience with the new system?
