General Mills Sale & Nestle Morsels--AWESOME!!

Don't miss out on the General Mills sale at Smiths!  
Golden Grahams is one of Jon's all time favorite cereals and it will be $.75/box!  They also have Nature Valley Granola bars, Cheerios, Fiber One 90 Calories bars, and a whole bunch of other great General Mill items that will be super cheap when you match coupons to the sale!  Check out grocerysmarts to find which inserts your coupons will come from!  There are also printables as well!   

My all time favorite item in this weeks sale is Nestle Morsels.  Those are my VERY favorite chocolate chip because they stay soft (they never get really hard like other chocolate chips do).  I will for sure be stocking up on those, but you will have to hurry on those as the Nestle catalina expires on Sunday!!

Are you thinking, "Catalina?"  What is she talking about?
Well, a catalina is the coupon that prints out after you finish your transaction.  It prints out after your receipt prints out.  It is often money to be used on your next shopping trip (sometimes it is a coupon or a free Redbox rental or something like that).  For this particular catalina, you buy 4 packages of Nestle Baking Morsels and a $3 catalina will print out.  The Nestle Morsels are on sale for $2/bag.  Add in the catalina and it is $1.25/bag.  But, there is also a coupon for $1.50 off of 2 bags!  
So use that coupon when you purchase them-- after adding in the coupon and catalina, it is $.50/bag!!!  Now that IS a bargain!  
You can use the catalina right then and there--just buy your chocolate chips first, and then after paying for them and getting your catlaina, purchase your other items and use the catalina--just like any coupon!  Without the catalina and just the coupons, they are still a GREAT price--$1.25/bag!  So there you have your first lesson on catalinas!  When you use catalinas combined with a sale, combined with a coupon--wow, you save a LOT!!

I hope you are utilizing grocerysmarts and stocking up on things you will use and saving TONS!!  I know we certainly are!  If you aren't sure how to do it, I would love to teach a class for you--just look under my "Free Classes" section to see what you would need to do to host a class!  You can also look under the "Getting Started" section of my blog for guidance.

Best of luck on your shopping while saving tons!
