After weeding out all of the coupons that expired on 12/31/11, my binder all of a sudden feels a lot lighter. And with weeks of no coupons in the paper, I have very little to file. So, here's to hoping that 2012 brings lots of good coupons our way.
More food, less house cleaning and health/beauty coupons. Pretty please. And enough with the Airwick coupons already! We can only use so many room fresheners.
My last shopping trip was pretty light. I ran to Stop&Shop because they have a good cereal deal where you buy four boxes of cereal, and you not only get $4.00 off your order, but a free gallon of milk too. I love when they run this promotion. Cheap cereal and free milk are always welcome in this house.
Besides the cereal and a few other miscellaneous grocery needs, I grabbed a bag of oranges that were on sale for $2.99. I have a recipe that I'm working on which I'll share with you tomorrow or the next day. It's full of orangey goodness.
Lately, I've been craving citrus and spinach. And before you even ask, no I'm not pregnant. But clearly my body needs it since it's the first thing I think about every day. I guess there could be worse things to crave, right?
Speaking of cravings, I want to share something yummy with you. Awhile ago, while traveling on Jet Blue, I tried this chip like thing called Popcorners. Holy Yum! They are so good and so much lighter and healthier than potato chips.
They're kind of a cross between tortilla chips, rice cakes, and popcorn. Incredibly good, but hard to find in stores. Well, last week when I was doing my weekly BJ's run, guess what I found?? Popcorners! A giant bag for $4.59!
I was giddy. I grabbed my phone to take a photo, and I guess I looked a little exuberant because another shopper commented that they must be very good if I was taking photos of it. I talked them up so much that the shopper bought a bag too. Maybe I should forget about blogging and go into snack sales.
I haven't done much at the drugstores this week. I did go on a little hunt for the All that everyone's talking about, but no luck for me. Which is totally fine because I still have enough All from a previous deal to last me a good long time.
I did pick up the free after Extra Care Buck peanut butter Snickers bar, which I will never bring into my house again because Oh My Gawwwwwwd was that good. Too good. That would be public enemy #1 to my arse, which I'm currently trying to whittle down to a more respectable size.
That's about it for my shopping this week. I'm off to a slow start, but I plan on hitting the drug stores later this week to grab a few of the better deals.
How about you? What are you excited about this week? Did you snarf down a peanut butter Snickers bar?

Oh My Gawwwwwwwwdd! I love your New England accent Melanie!! Not any blockbusters here either. Hope you have better luck the rest of this week and later this month!
Totally with you on the more food less air wicks. Yeesh!
I would guess you're still healing and hence the citrus and spinach cravings. But those are good cravings to have! I need someone to invent a fail safe remedy for chocolate cravings. : )
I have a craving for citrus too, weird :-) You know those Cuties clementines? I bought a bag for my daughter but I think I ate a half of it myself, they are super yummy!
I'm going to Stop&Shop tomorrow for the cereal (and maybe more Cuties). They have a decent gas points deal this week, unless someone has emptied the shelves, that seems to be a trend :-(
So with you on the air wick coupons, Mel. Sick of them. I still have room fresheners from 2 years ago. Love CVS this week; with coupons I will make out like a bandit.
I'm in agreement that the Peanut Butter Snickers are to do for. By far the best Snickers ever!

Kale chips sprinkled with curry...omg! Pop Chips, bbq flavor...holy YUM!
I am excited to use my $10 off Coupon from Safeway. A little sad you cannot use it on Dairy, but I always manage to buy more than that anyway.
I just came from CVS getting the dish soap and some lysol wipes. I need All too, but not the one everyone is looking for. I just found out i'm gonna need more free and clear in my future. The store i tried was out but i have more stores to try.
I have to hit the cereal too. I think we only have 2 boxes of cereal unopened right now.
Pop Corners are so stinkin' good!! Love love love them!!!
My PB snickers made it INTO my house ONLY because my husband did that CVS trip for me. As soon as I snapped a picture of my order, I inhaled it.
So yeah... *IF* I indulge and buy one, they rarely make it INTO my house. :-)
No Snicker PB for me... Started a diet last week, and I have been doing really well... Not going to ruin in YET =) I did, however, get a GE CFL for $2.99 with a $2 EB reward and milk was $2.99 this week with a $1 EB. I still had my Quarterly rewards so I got the blub and milk for like $2 and then got $3 back. Pretty good in my book.
