Merry Christmas!
There is one P&G insert in the paper this weekend. Find a preview here. FInd a list of all coupon inserts here.
Take this time to enjoy the blessings of the holiday with your family. Then, clean out your coupon files, and get ready for more savings in 2010! See you next week.
No Coupon Inserts, But Great Deals in Stores!
There are no coupons in the paper this weekend, as this is one of the times that manufacturers take a vacation. There will be a P&G insert Dec 27. Never fear, they usually start off January with a huge push, so you’ll have lots to clip later. Meantime, enjoy the holidays and catch up on your clipping, organizing, and weeding out. A lot of coupons expire December 31.
You have some great deals coming up. On Dec 20, CVS has Nivea Body Wash going on sale for $5.99, with a $5 ECB. Use the $2 coupon here to make the deal even better.
At RiteAid, Prell Shampoo is .99 starting Saturday. There is a $2 Single Check Rebate (limit 5). So buy 5 for .99, and submit the rebates, and you will pocket $5!. It will also count toward the total for the free Gift of Savings gift card.
I got a great deal on Amazon. I did a lot of Christmas shopping there, and signed up for a free membership in Amazon Prime. I bought a DVD, and got an email that they gave me a $5 gift credit to use on other videos! I thought this was a nice “Christmas present” since even at this late date I am not done with my shopping.
You can continue to get some great grocery deals at Amazon. Check out the savings here.
At Safeway, Kellogg’s Corn Flakes are .99 each. You must buy 4. Use the Kellogg’s coupons from the 12/13 Red Plum, and the coupons.com coupon for $1.50 off any store brand coffee when you buy three Kellogg’s cereals. Find a $1 coupon for Kellogg’s Corn Flakes Touch of Honey cereal at coupons.com as well.
Check out our forums for great discussions on couponing.
Great Online Deals in Recent Coupons
It really pays to keep checking our recent coupon list. Many of the online coupon offers are very short dated, in time for last minute holiday shopping. It’s likely your order won’t arrive in time for Christmas from some stores, but a note under the tree to expect a nice present will still be appreciated. Some of the larger stores will still ship with arrival by Christmas if you order by the 21st. Check each store site for deadlines. And you can save big. Just as Black Friday started early, it seems that the “after Christmas” season is gearing up.
Check offers from 6PM.com every day in our new coupons section. They have “today only” offers. You’ll also find short dated offers from Sears, Buy.com, and SmartBargains.com. Sears has some very good discounts on exercise equipment, but they expire December 19.
Many special deals expire December 31 or before. And there are new coupons added every day.
I’m especially excited about the great Amazon deals that appear in our new coupons section. These are grocery deals, with free shipping. It’s a great opportunity for you to buy staples in bulk, and get extra savings.
You can still order e-gift cards from some stores. If you are really late, that’s probably the best way to give someone the flexibility of spending on what they want, and take advantage of savings after Christmas!
Sunday Coupons, Printables, and Tweetpons!
There are two Smart Source inserts this Sunday, and a Red Plum. One of the Smart Source inserts will be exclusively General Mills. There are lots of Pillsbury coupons this week. There is also a B1G1F for Bufferin or Theraflu, up to $15.99! That means you can buy the large size! You can find the preview here: Sunday Insert Coupons Dec 13
There are supposed to be a lot of $3 coupons for DVDs this week, and they match some deals at Target. I am not sure if these are Target coupons or not.
You’ll also find some coupons on Carvel cakes, including $3 off a seasonal cake. Great for your parties!
We’ve been having a discussion in the forums about how you can combine Target coupons with manufacturer coupons for extra savings. Find Target coupons here. When you combine a Target coupon with a manufacturer coupon and a sale, you can often get the item for near free, if not outright free.
Some stores have partnered with SmartSource to provide printable coupons on their site. Often you will find special deals, but they are often not store specific. You can find printable coupons on Albertson’s site here.
If you’re on Twitter, I hope you are following me (Freecouponscom). You should also find some good deals from companies that want to promote their products, just as many do on Facebook. For example, take Michaelangelos Entrees. Here’s from their tweet: “We want to hear about your family traditions! Follow us on Twitter (@michael_angelos), send us a Twitpic or @reply describing your family holiday gathering, and we will reward you with a coupon for a Michael Angelo’s meal to enjoy this season.”
Look for some great deals this weekend with these coupons, and more new items every day.

I just love this time of year. It seems that the coupon codes are coming fast and furious.
