I have been getting a lot questions about the $120 Savings Booklet for a few weeks, so I thought I would post an answer for all to see.
This booklet was a rebate promotion that Procter & Gamble ran in January this year. To get the booklet you had to purchase $50 in P&G products and mail in reciepts. The promotion ended in Mid February.
If you submitted a rebate for the promotion and did not get your booklet yet, go here to check the status of your rebate.
Rumor is that certain Kroger test stores/areas will be running a triples coupon promotion starting tomorrow 4/09-4/12. Most of the confirmed stores that I have seen are in Michigan and Ohio but it doesn’t mean that stores in the south couldn’t plan to participate.
If you have a store that is participating leave a comment and let us know where.
There is a new coupon booklet out! It has $10 in coupons including one for a FREE bottle of Ketchup. Go here to request yours. (It’s free so you might as well.) It 1 per household, but if your parents or friends don’t coupon send one to them and get them to give it to you.
Want another coupon book?
You can sign up for the Home Made Simple Booklet if you haven’t gotten one recently. They will send 2 per household per year. The last one we got had a coupon for a FREE dishwasher rinse agent plus over $30 in other coupons. (thanks Amy)
Since we are in e Coupon mode today…
Upromise has also loaded new e coupons for the month of April. These are a little different than the other e coupons for a few reasons:
- You can use them at almost any store!
- The money does not come off at the register but is put into your Upromise account.
- Load as many coupons as you want, there is no limit.
Why use the Upromise e coupons?
Normally when you buy something that gives you money back for college it gives you .03 -.10 cents for the item. Using the e coupons you are increasing the amount significantly that you get back.
Can I use a coupon too?
Yes! These are not tied to coupons or discounts in the store. They are rewards from the manufacturer for using Upromise and buying their product.
I don’t have a kid…
Not a problem. We had a Upromise account for almost 2 years before our kids were born. Once we had kids we went in and changed the beneficiary from our names to our kids names. Grandparents can also sign up and have it go to their grandchildren! We have 3 sets of grandparents all saving a little bit for our kiddos. You can change the beneficiary at any time.
How much can you really save?
Well, you aren’t going to send them to Princeton just from your savings, but it can be a nice chunk of money by the time they get there. It depends on how much you remember to use their system. We have been a member for almost 6 years and have over $3000 saved. Since we have 3 kids this won’t go very far but it is $3000 that we didn’t have to dig up to save. (No it’s not all from e coupons, they just started the e coupon system last year.)

I should know better than to be out all morning the day of the new Publix ad! I think I am all caught up now and have updated the lists with the coupons you guys found. I have also added the new Food Lion coupons, there are some that go well with the Publix and Food Lion sales this week.
I am now turning to get Bi-Lo done. Hope to have it up soon, don’t give up on me if you are going crazy for it.
It is my favorite post of the month. I went to bed last night very late and hoped that they would show the new coupons before I went, but they kept me in suspense another night.
Well they are up now. Coupons.com and Smartsource.com have loaded new coupons!! (They always do on the 1st so don’t be too shocked). Remember if you see a coupon you want to print it now. Some really good ones won’t last all day, some might be up for a week. Why? Coupon promotions give a budget of how many coupons they will pay to reimburse and they do not like going over that budget…
Here are the best that I see:
.40/1 Betty Crocker Potatoes printable (will make it FREE on sale)
.45/1 BC Muffins printable (makes it .20-.40 cents on sale)
.50/1 BC Cookie Mix printable (can make it FREE with a good sale)
