Free Printable Grocery Coupons for 1/4/2009
Our pantry is pretty well stocked right now because we did a big shop right before the holidays, but we still need to grocery shop for staples such as milk and eggs. My three kids go through so much milk that if our property weren’t mostly woods I would seriously be thinking of buying a cow. That is why I was excited to find some milk coupons for hormone-free milk. check them out as well as the rest of the printable grocery coupons I have found for you today.
Lehigh Valley Dairy Farms is offering multiple milk coupons on their website. There is $1 off of Over the Moon milk, 35 cents off of half and Half or cream (great for leftover pumpkin pie or for using in mashed potatoes) and 35 cents off of flavored milk (yum chocolate). Click below for the link.

All You Magazine - A Couponer’s Best Friend
All You Magazine, on sale at Walmart, has a double issue out this month. The regular magazine features the usual collection of high value coupons on grocery products. There is a special Fitness issue, on sale at Walmart January 2, which also contains some coupons. The special issue is priced at $4, so you will need to decide if the coupons are worth it. Usually, the coupons pay the cost of All You magazine.You can buy the magazine at Walmart, or you can get a better deal by subscription. I love this magazine, because it is full of ideas for how to save money, as well as great coupons. Of course, I use the coupons at Walmart - but with doubles this week at Kmart and elsewhere, it pays to have $1.00 coupons that can be doubled.

If you have the ability to get extra inserts, this is certainly the weekend to do it.For the coupon savvy shopper, there are deals galore, and stores that want you to keep coming back.

Harris Teeter is TRIPLING coupons. But hurry, triples are only from January 1-4.
Walgreens continues to be a wonderful place to save money for savvy shoppers. By combining their Register Rewards, in store coupons, Free After Rebate deals, Easy Saver Rebates and manufacturer coupons, you can receive a lot of items free, or even for a profit.
For example, in the Red Plum insert this week, there is an Electrasol Geltab coupon for $2.50 off one. Combine this with a $1.50 Walgreens Rebate for a total savings of $4 off the purchase.
Use the $1 Garnier Fructis coupon in the Red Plum insert this week combined with a $2 Walgreens Easy Saver Coupon. Garnier Fructis Shampoo, Conditioner, and Styling products are on sale this week at Walgreens for $2.99, so this item is free.

Your final price is 4 boxes for $3.
And you will have a PROFIT of up to $3.99 for this deal on Theraflu at Walgreens: Buy Theraflu at 2 bottles for $10. Receive a $5 register reward. Use the $1.50 coupon in this week’s Smart Source insert, and the printable $2 coupon . Then, submit the in store $6.99 rebate. (They will deduct the $2 coupon from your refund.) A very sweet deal.

Buying DVDs to Save Money
Buy.com is having a blow out sale on DVDs right now. This is great news, since going out for entertainment is getting to be a bit expensive these days. While there are almost 200 different movies on sale, my target is the movies that are only $5 each. There are plenty of movies that are only $6, too.
The cost to take my family of five to a movie without snacks or even just to a family restaurant is about $40. If we skipped the theater movie, we could purchase eight different movies on DVD during the DVD sale that we could watch over and over again.
If we opted to skip the theater movie and just add HBO to our cable television, it would cost us only $20, but that is still four DVDs that we could own, per month! That would be a nice way of building a library of DVD movies without spending a lot.
I am also going to add a few extra movies for my gift closet. This way, if a birthday or holiday comes up, I can make up a “Movie Night” basket for a nice but inexpensive gift!
At only $5, the stock of movies might go fast, but these are some of the titles I spotted that were still available at that price:
$5
The Devil Wears Prada
French Kiss
Hope Floats
Working Girl
Sleeping With the Enemy/Dying Young 2pk
Edge
Buffy the Movie/Drive Me Crazy
Beverly Hillbillies

Wal-Mart 75% Off Holiday Items
Many of my savvy shopping friends are reporting that Wal-Mart is offering 75% off of Christmas items starting today. This may vary by store, and in fact, the 75% off discount has been offered in select cities, such as Houston, starting yesterday.
The discount seems to be unadvertised, and in some cases, although the items are marked 50% off, they actually ring up at 75% off. In all cases, the Christmas items were moved to a clearance section.
In addition to the most obvious choices of Christmas items, there are other household goods that technically fall into the 75% off sale while being more useful throughout the year. For example, there are red and green flannel sheets, and designer perfume (such as Obsession) that are part of the deal.
I haven’t gotten out to my Wal-Mart today, so I can’t confirm this with my own eyes, but I’ll be heading out soon to check it out for myself.
Normally Wal-mart waits until January 1st to start the 75% off deal, but perhaps they now want to be competitive with other retailers who are heavily discounting. Target is still at 50% off Christmas items in my area, and I haven’t heard of any other retailers discounting more heavily than that.
If you do get to a Wal-Mart today, please find out if the 75% off sale is in effect for your area and leave me a comment.
Here, below, are other current coupon codes and deals for Wal-Mart.

How to Find Grocery Coupons
While most people are familiar with cutting coupons from the newspaper inserts, grocery coupons can actually be found in many different places. Knowing the sources of different coupons can really help you save money when you go grocery shopping. Why come to the store armed with five or six coupons when you can bring an entire envelope?
Here are my favorite sources, other than newspaper inserts, for grocery coupons.
Printable coupons
Check online for free coupons that you can print on your computer at home. Some of these coupons can only be printed once or twice, while others can be printed multiple times. Check here at FreeCoupons in the Groceries category and also in past and future blog posts for many coupons that you can print.
All You Magazine and other magazines
All You magazine is a great source of many coupons to clip. Check out my previous blog that mentions this magazine. Other magazines, such as Good Housekeeping and Women’s Day usually offer grocery coupons as well. Ask friends to save these coupons and get low cost subscriptions.
Blinkies
Blinkies are those coupons that come out of the little machines you can find attached to many store shelves. They are called blinkies because there is usually a little red light on the machine that delivers the coupons. Blinkies usually can’t be doubled or tripled, but they can offer additional savings on sale items.
Manufacturer coupon books
Just by signing up for offers, you can get coupon books in the mail from manufacturers such as Kraft and Campbell. Do an Internet search or check out the Special Offers section here at FreeCoupons.
Grocery store flyers
It is always a good idea to check out the grocery store flyers. They usually have coupons for products or for doubling and tripling that can be used with other coupons. Sometimes the flyers that come in the mail have more or different coupons than the ones available in the store, so check in both places for the best savings.
