Cheap Hasbro Card Games

Coupons.com has some coupons up right now for $4 and $5 off Hasbro games.  Walmart has some Hasbro card games (Scrabble, Pictureka, Monopoly, Sorry, et al.) for $5.24.  Using the coupons.com coupon makes these very cheap.  Also, grab a pack that has the yellow "starburst" int he corner that says "$5 Bonus" (or something like that).  Inside is another $5 coupon that also works on these games with no beeps from the registers.  Cheap fun!  Might make nice little gifts for last minute birthday invites for the kids.

Update:  Now it seems that coupon is missing from their website...but you can still find the $5 off coupon inside the packages...

Rainbow Double Daze

I tried something new today.  I went to Rainbow Foods for their coupon double day.  Typically at Rainbow, on Wednesdays (and sometimes Saturdays), you can double up to 5 coupons with a $25 purchase.  Although intriguing, 5 doubled coupons didn't seem like enough to get me to rearrange my Wednesday schedule.  But, today, they were willing to double 10 coupons.  You can double any coupon $1 and under.  I had plenty of $1 coupons so I wrote down my plan and set forth.

I did two transactions.  16 items in both transactions.  I spent $24 in transaction #1 and saved $27.  I spent $24 in transaction #2 and saved $37.34.  However, with the coupons I had, my doubled coupons only saved me $13.80 and $22.99, respectively.  The other "savings" reported on my receipt were from things being on sale. 

Although I think those are great numbers, I'm not sold on this process yet.  We typically do our grocery shopping at Walmart for most everything and Super Target or Cub for produce.  And Rainbow, that store is just plain expensive.  Even with a doubled coupon, I ended up paying more for some items than I would at Walmart without a doubled coupon.

Ex:
Ritze Crackers at Rainbow = $3.46
$1 Coupon doubled = -$2
Total = $1.46

Ritz Crackers at Walmart = $2
$1 Coupon (no double) = -$1
Total = $1

Ex2:
Skippy Natural @ Rainbow = 2.29
Total after doubled coupon = $1.59

Skippy Natural @ Walmart = $1.82
Total after coupon = $1.47

I have more examples, but that's enough.  It's not to say I didn't score some good deals (free coffee mate, tuna, and yogurt).  I think if I shopped at Rainbow enough to know what was a good deal there and what was overpriced there, and then used my coupons accordingly, I could make this system work.  But, in the meantime, I think I might remain loyal to good ol' Wally World.

Frugal tip

If there is something you really love to buy, but hate when you only  have one coupon for said item, check out eBay, or other coupon sites to see if you can purchase more coupons.  I know buying coupons sounds counteractive, but most coupons cost about $0.10 each (usually less) and the savings can equal much more than you pay. 

I just bought a set of 20 $1 off coupons for some juice my family likes.  I paid $2.50 for all twenty (that includes the shipping).  I paired the coupons with a clearance on our juice and was able to get the V8 Fusion (normally over $3/bottle) for half price.  Just make sure you check the expiration date of the coupons before purchasing and figure out if you can use all those coupons before then.  Juice has a long shelf life, but other items wouldn't work as well.

Here's a couple sites that sell coupons (but don't forget eBay)
