New Matchup Format! Comprehensive Lists for Jay-C 1/9/14, IGA 1/6/14, Save A Lot 12/29/13, and Fred's 1/5/14

Firstly, GET THEE TO SHOPKO!!! Their Christmas clearance is finally marked way down and they also have a massive haul over in the medicine/vitamin area!! I got several mouthwashes, vitamins, and toothpastes for under $.20 apiece!!

And in other big news, I am so excited to present to you my labor of love! Every item on the coming sale cycle's ads are meticulously entered into this spreadsheet and cross referenced with my favorite coupon database to provide you with maximum savings potential!! I have also marked items that meet my stockup price limits for your convenience. (Just make sure you leave some for me!!) If you have any questions or comments, feel free to leave a comment here or on the snazzy new Facebook page I have teamed up with! I'm excited to see if you all think this format is more or less helpful for your shopping.

As I have mentioned before, ShopKo isn't necessarily famous for their sales, HOWEVER! They do price match (I love this feature for picking up things I need to use a coupon on right away instead of waiting around for a raincheck and losing the coupon.), and their clearance rocks! Check out all the endcaps for some sweet deals that you can matchup with coupons for maximum savings. A special note for price checking at ShopKo: they will only price check if you have a physical ad in hand. :)

First Matchup Post!! Jay-C 12/26 and Fred's Super Dollar 12/26

The goal of this blog is to share with you all some of the deals I encounter locally.

We will go ahead and get started right away with Jay-C and Fred's! This is not a comprehensive list of deals, just my favorites.
