Hi, I'm Michelle, a coupon-crazy Maineah! This page is intended to be a public forum for sharing of tips, tricks and match-ups specific to Maine and the New England area. Are you tired of coupon match-ups that reference coupons we didn't get locally? Me too, so here we are, focusing on local stores and coupons that are received in Maine Newspapers!

Freebie Frenzy!!!
Tonight's Shaw's trip was full of freebies and overage...I love it!!! I also love the little cutie in this picture. This is Lucas, my four and a half year old son. He is almost alway with me on my shopping trips, and love to help mommy take the picture of our food to show everyone. He is the joy of my life, and at a time like this, I just had to show you one of the little guys who are the reason why I work so hard to save money on groceries.
Before we get into the deals I did get, I have to say I am so bummed we didn't get the WOW deals...again! I had big plans for cheap Oreos and pasta sauce plus a free pie, but not so much here in Maine! With that said, I did still get some great deals!
6 Pepsi X 2-Liter Bottles

On sale for $1.00
There were coupons for $.75/1 hanging from the bottles and a sign saying "free with coupon, no limit" so they were even allowing more than the usual limit of four coupons to double. Why??? They expire in two weeks, but hubby doesn't care, so neither do I!
Four of the coupons doubled to a full $1.50, so I got six for free plus $2.00 overage!

This One Definitely Had Me Doing My Happy Dance!!!
Yes, that's right, I dance in public. But you would too if you scored these sweet deals at Shaw's! You still have plenty of time to do just that, and the best part is ALL of the coupons I used were internet printables, so you can do this even if you aren't a newspaper insert collector!
First, make sure you have plenty of ink in your printer, then head here and start printing!!! What you'll need for these particular deals is the $.85/3 Betty Crocker baking items, $.60/1 Honey Nut Cheerios, $.85/1 Cascadian Farm Product, $.60/1 Chex Mix and $.85/3 Totino's Pizza Rolls. There are MANY others including the Yoplait Kids Yogurt, Yoplait Smoothies and Cinnamon Toast Crunch which are amazing deals this week. I just happened to have saved those for another trip ;-)
I will give you the rest of the links as we go!
I did have two transactions, not to circumvent any coupon policies, and not because of any concern with multiple GM deals discounting correctly, it was all about the Catalinas!
Transaction #1:

Total before sales and coupons $36.70
I Paid $19.30, plus I earned $13.00 in Catalinas; $10 for buying 10 items participating in the Kraft Catalina, plus Crystal Light is running it's own Catalina deal right now! That's a savings of 47% just based on what I spent, since it's my philosophy that you don't count the Catalina until you use it, that's when it saves you money!
