My cashier at Fred Meyers tonight asked me about my coupon book. It was a book full of $111 worth of coupons (though 1/3 were expired when they showed up) from P&G. Now I’m going to take a guess here but I think I signed up for it through the P&G Everyday Solutions facebook page. ??? Please correct me if I’m wrong. I don’t see the book still available but I did find the coupons listed below HERE. It is $39 which is enough to make me happy.

Newsminer Newspaper's Deceptive Deal
I tried to give them the benefit of the doubt. But after talking to a total of 3 people at the Newsminer I have come to my personal opinion that they false advertised how good their newspaper deal was that I promoted a couple weeks ago. It makes me mad for two reasons. I promoted it and I was super excited about this amazing deal. It was still a good deal but I feel duped. This is issue...
| $40 for 26-week, 7-day Fairbanks Daily News-Miner subscription, plus e-edition - a $156 value |
| Details of the Deal |
| Voucher expires March 31, 2011 New subscribers only (may not have been a subscriber for at least 30 days) One coupon redemption per customer Not valid for cash back Not valid with any other offer Cannot use until day after online offer ends Valid only in Fairbanks home-delivery areas. Here is my argument. If you call to buy a 26 week, 7 day subscription plus e-edition it costs $120.00. Now the representative from the paper (the 3rd person I spoke to) told me the $156.00 is if you went to the store and purchase them. He said that was stated in the advertisement. It doesn't say that anywhere. In fact it states SUBSCRIPTION. Stating a subscription's value is $156 when it is $120 is false advertising. And they don't feel anything is wrong with the ad. I just want to inform my readers that the cost of a 26 week, 7 day newspaper subscription is $94.00. I'm not interested in the e-edition when I have a physical paper. So the personal value I give this deal is that I snagged a $94.00 subscription for $40.00. Though I'm afraid this whole thing has put a bad taste in my mouth for these deals. As you can imagine after talking to three people I was fed way more false information than I shared in this post. It would have been much easier for them if I didn't know how to add. ***Just want to note that I was completely calm and professional during the conversation. My only request was that I wanted to voice my concern and to get clarification. |

Newsminer Newspaper Deal
For Today (4/1) and Tomorrow (4/2) only the newsminer is running a sale under their new Hot Deals Alert program. This is the first thing I have bought on this program. I think it is about 3 weeks old. So far I've been fairly impressed with what they have been offering. If we had some extra cash laying around I probably would have bought a couple deals by now. But this newspaper deal I just couldn't pass up...
Newsminer Newspaper is offering you a 26 Week, 7 Day subscription including the E-Edition for $40 (Org $156)! I called today to make sure my North Pole address was included in their opinion of the Fairbanks home delivery area. If you have questions call 456-6661. To get this great deal go HERE

My Shopping Trip
*Tomorrow is the last day to enter Progresso giveaway!
Lately Safeway is my favorite place to shop. It seems like they have had a few excellent deals over the past couple weeks. My mother-in-law got me a really good book about being prepared for an emergency. I would love some feedback on how large a stockpile you have or would like to have on hand in groceries. The book suggests a year. So I'm starting small. I honestly don't think I have enough room for a year supply in our home. Maybe 4 months. My husband's Mountain Dew habit would take up half the pantry alone. So when I find a good deal I stock up thinking 4 months ahead. These are my good deals from Sunday...
The original price of all these groceries was $110.87 but I paid $20.68. A total savings of 81%! A lot of the savings had to do with the 50% clearance shelf. I'm not an advocate of clearing a shelf when you find a good deal but I will put a lot in my cart if they are on the clearance shelf. If it isn't sold soon it's going in the trash.
Quakers Chewy Bars... Org $3.79... Sale $2.50... 50% off -$1.25... Safeway cpn $1.99... Final Price $.74
Quakers Rice Delights... Org $3.19... Sale $1.50... 50% off -$.75... Final Price $.75
Jimmy Dean... Org $5.49... 50% off -$.2.75... Manu cpn -$1/1... Final Price $1.74
Steak... Org $6.29... 50% off -$3.15... Safeway cpn -$2/1... Final Price $1.14
These are my favorite deals...
Candy Bars... Org Price for 8 $7.92... Safeway Sale Buy 4 Get 4 Free -$3.96... Manu cpn for 3 free candy bars, max value -$2.65... 2 Manu cpn -$.25/1... Final Price $.81 for 8 Candy Bars
4 Sodas and 2 Crackers... Org Price for all $40.72... Safeway Sale Buy 2 Get 2 Free and 2 Free Crackers-$24.34... Manu cpn for 1 Free Coke 12 pack (from coke rewards) -$8.19... 3 Manu cpn (soda) $.75/1... Manu cpn (crackers) -$1/2... Final Price for 4 Packs of Soda and 2 Boxes of Crackers $4.94

The gift pack includes a coupon for a free can of Progresso soup, a yoga mat, water bottle (love this water bottle, BPA free), set of aerobic bands, sport headband and two sport wristbands (I only got one, lol, like an 80s costume). Yippy, I have another giveaway! Here is some information they gave me concerning their "Souper You Debut."
"Available in 40 delicious flavors with 100 calories or less, Progresso® Soup can help curb your hunger, making it easier for you to stick to your weight management plan all year long. With hearty ingredients like pasta, beans, corn and rice, and flavor-packed vegetables like tomatoes, carrots, and peppers, Progresso Soup varieties with 100 calories or less offer a good source of fiber and a full serving of vegetables.
To help kick off a new outlook on the New Year, Progresso is excited to announce the return of the "Souper You™ Debut" contest! From January 3rd through March 16th, you and your readers can visit Progresso on Facebook to enter for the chance to win a full makeover in New York City.
Three grand prize winners will be awarded a trip for two to New York City from May 20th-22nd. The prize includes roundtrip airfare, a two-night stay in an NYC hotel, a full makeover, a guided wardrobe shopping spree with a personal consultation at a New York City department store, and $1,000 in spending money.
To enter, you’ll need to do the following:
* Go to Progresso on Facebook to learn more and enter the contest
* Submit your essay (200 characters or less) telling Progresso why you love their soups that contain 100 calories or less, and why you deserve a chance to win a trip to NYC for a full fashion overhaul
* In addition, please submit a photo of yourself that visually reinforces the theme of your essay
Once the 10 finalists are announced, you can visit Progresso on Facebook from March 30th through April 13th to vote for your favorite."
So I have tried to get back on track with getting in shape and toning up. So far this month I’ve lost a pound. :) But… I worked hard for that pound so I should be :(. And the husband says I’m getting toner so that is enough for me to stay motivated. Luckily Progresso provided me with the prize pack they are offering you plus a few cans of soup came in the mail for me to review. I thought the soup actually had a good flavor to it. I’ve had some pretty bad healthy soup before and I could definitely eat the Progresso soup without complaints. I really like a lot of vegetables in my soup and was able to add a lot of peas and carrots without losing the taste of the broth. My husband was actually interested in trying a couple of the cans but I beat him to it. And it is hard to get him to eat healthy soup.
How you enter the giveaway...
Leave a comment under the post letting everyone know what new flavor you find the most appetizing. Don't forget your email address! I will pick a number from random.org. Entry in to the giveaway ends February 24, 2011 at 8PM (AK Standard Time). A few of my favorites are Beef Pot Roast, Chicken Noodle, and New England Clam Chowder.
So good luck in the giveaway and good luck with being healthy!
