Great deal on Premium Deli Meat at Vons

A friend of mine passed this on to me...

She found at her Von's the Primo Taglio brand of deli meat, which is usually $8-9 per pound, on sale for $5/lb. She also said that they are near the deli counter already sliced and packaged in the pillow packaging, which is freezer ready! So, stock up! These are good premium sandwich meats found at the deli counter, not the prepackaged items.

(Thanks, Shannon!)

2010 Coupon Schedule

Go here for this year's schedule of inserts.

Visit my 101 post here for information on where to locate inserts in your area.

Glossary of Deal Finding Terms

When I first started couponing less than a year ago, acronyms and terms like RR, ECB, SS, OOP...were totally Greek to me! However, being familiar with such terms is one of the first steps to becoming a Deal Finder yourself. So, let me shed a little light for you.

Glossary of Deal Finding Terms and Acronyms:

Quantity/Dollar Amount - Ex: 2/$8: this is an abbreviated way to say, "two for eight dollars." This abbreviation is used to tell the quantity and price of a sale or purchased items.

Dollar Amount/Quantity - Ex: $1/1: when you see the dollar amount BEFORE the quantity in a phrase like, "Use $1/1 printable" it means there is a coupon for one dollar off when you purcahse one.

SS: Smartsource coupon inserts. These are typically found in the Sunday edition of your local newspaper. Here inVegas, this is the only insert that the Review Journal distributes. I also receive the Smartsource by mail in my Centennial View on Wednesdays.

RP: Redplum coupon inserts. This is also typically a weekly paper insert. Go here to find out where to get Red Plum inserts in your area. If they say that they aren't available in your area, you can request the inserts by mail here. I made that request about three weeks ago (as of 1/17) and haven't began receiving them yet. You can call Vlassis (the company that distributes Redplum) at 800-437-0479 to issue a complaint if you don't receive them in your area.

P&G: Proctor and Gamble coupon inserts. This is the third major coupon insert, but unlike SS and RP this is a monthly insert. Go here to find where they are distributed in your area. All three of these acronyms (SS, RP and P&G) are typically followed by a date, which indicates the date they were distributed.

BOGO: Buy One Get One, usually indicates if you buy one product, you'll get one free. Sometimes, however, it will read something like, "BOGO $2" which would mean, if you buy one, you get the second for $2.

B1G2: this is the more common way that I abbreviate a BOGO deal. I will use the B1G1 in many ways, B2G1 (buy two get one) B2G2 (buy two get two), etc.

OOP: Out of Pocket, indicates the amount paid out of pocket before rebates, etc.

ECB: Easy Care Bucks. This is CVS' rebate program. You have to fill out a form to get their shopper card. Easy Care Bucks are always printed at the bottom of your receipt and are good on any future purchase at any CVS with your shopper card. These DO expire, typically about three to four weeks after you receive them, so watch the dates!

RR: Register Rewards. This is Walgreens' rebate program. Like CVS, these are printed at the end of your transaction but on a separate receipt-like paper. They also expire, but much sooner, usually only one or two week after you receive them. But, unlike CVS, you do not need a shopper card, they will print for everyone.

SCR: Single Check Rebate. This is Rite Aid's rebate program. It is different from CVS and Walgreens in that you do not receive a voucher for your next purchase. Instead, you go online and enter your receipt information to receive a rebate by mail. Go here to submit your rebates.

MIR: Mail in Rebate. Often there will be a deal where you pay so much out of pocket, mail in the UPC codes and receipt, and receive a check in the mail. I always make sure to write down contact information and the rebate code before I mail the form to make sure I can contact someone if I don't receive the rebate.

** If any of this is confusing or I have failed to cover something, please let me know! **

Morgan Family Goals 2010: Finances

I will be posting a series of blogs about our various goals for 2010.

Troy and I sit down together at the beginning of the year and assess what our success for the year before was on reaching goals; decide which goals to do away with or are no longer relevant; and decide what our goals for the upcoming year will be.

These goals range from financial to spiritual to family and more. I'm going to start this post series with our Financial Goals, which may not be the most important, but are the most relevant to this blog.

Financial Goals 2010:

• Have $5,000 in our emergency savings fund by April 2010
• Maintain that $5,000 for the entire year
• Begin paying off debt - starting with the Harley payment
• Pay off the Harley entirely by the end of 2010
• Increase our MSI (multiple streams of income) earnings by 28% by the end of the year
• Continue paying a full 10% tithing to our church the entire year
• Stay within a $25 a week grocery budget and a $30 a month household and personal items budget

So, where the hard part really comes in is the $25 per week grocery budget. I set our budget at $30 per week the end of last year, and it was tough staying within that. But, I think with extra diligence, meal planning, and deal finding it is certainly an attainable goal. Plus, I'm loving the challenge! :) So far, the first week of January I spent $21 and we still have a very full freezer and pantry! This week, I may be leaning it down even more because our local Smith's is having a case lot sale next week, and I want to use what I saved last week and this week to add to next week's $25 for that sale.

Stayed tuned for my post on our Health Goals
