There were no coupon inserts in the paper this week, FYI. Don't worry.

Hi all! I would like to first say hello to all of the new couponers from our class on Valentines morning. We had a fun class, and look forward to seeing several of you at the advanced class.
There were no coupon inserts in the paper this week, FYI. Don't worry. This is normal for a holiday weekend.
Deals for the week of 2/15 at:
Meijer--
Kelloggs Nutri-grain bars 2/$4 ($1 off 2 coup), so 2/$3... but, buy 5 boxes and get a gallon of Meijer milk for FREE.
Dannon yogurts .40/each (.60 off 6 mcoup and $1 off 10 mcoup) makes them $2.80 for 12
Coffeemate creamer $1.66 each (.50 mcoup ) .66 . Great price. However, they had some Gingerbread flavored on clearance and after coup the price was .19!
Ground Round 2 lb. packs for $3. That matched the sale price Kroger has this week.
Powerade Zero drinks .79 (.40 mcoup) FREE (this coup expires today so I hope you used it!)
Don't forget the clearance candy and Valentines goods. I stocked up on treat bags and stickers for my kids' parties next year.
CVS--
Colgate Total Advanced 4.0 ounce size tootahpaste 2.99 (prints out 2.99 ECB) FREE (limit 2)
Do that transaction first, use use the ECBs to buy your other items.
Huggies Diapers Jumbo packs $8.99 Sun./Mon/ only (1.50 mcoup) $7.49 ac Limit 3
This sale is great to use in conjunction with a $10 off $50 coup, which I just happened to have. I added Children's Motrin ($2.50/2 mcoup) and clearance Valentines candy for my valentine
It's a slow week for me otherwise. Luckily, I have everything else stockpiled. Don't worry-- give your stockpile a little time to grow. It doesn't (and shouldn't) happen overnight!
I'd like to say hello to a fellow couponer, Roxanne, who I met at Meijer. What a nice person. I hope she makes it to our Milford Panera coupon class, and brings her coworkers!
I wonder if Bonnie sees any other deals for the week. Did you see anything we missed? We encourage you to post (but lurking is fine too!)

McDonalds has free samples on Wednesday morning, a different sample each Wednesday. I saw this on a sign at McDonalds in Newport, KY.

Hey Chicks, Just wanted to let you know my first time out after class I was able to get $125 worth of groceries for $39 - not too bad for a beginner that didn't regularly use coupons! My husband is pumped up about it all! Big Thanks! Looking forward to finding out about the advanced class! TamiT
