There are some really great deals going on this week, a few of them you can get without couponing at all, and some of them you NEED to use both coupons and rebates in order to cash in on them.
Firstly, Ridley's has boneless skinless chicken on sale this week for $1.37/lb. For the record, this is the cheapest I have seen chicken get since I started frugal shopping almost a year ago. You can normally buy chicken for $1.99/lb at Walmart, or $1.97/lb at Winco. But we eat a lot of chicken in our house, and that $0.60/lb difference adds up really quickly. I will DEFINITELY be stocking my freezer this week!

"Well played" said the cashier (February deals I've cashed in on so far)
It's been a while since I've posted! Sorry about that, we've been busy getting ready for a baby (I'm due in less than 2 weeks).
Last week there were a few good deals that I cashed in on, one of them being Laundry Detergent from either RiteAid or Walgreens for $0.99. The last time I saw it that cheap was in July, so I got as many as I had coupons for. Both RiteAid and Walgreens had Arm&Hammer laundry detergent (50oz) on sale for $1.99. There was a coupon in last Sunday's paper for $1.00 off 1 Arm&Hammer laundry

Shopping and free stuff 1-2-2016
Today we went shopping and found some pretty good deals when combined with rebate apps! Here's the best of what we found:
From Grocery Outlet (please note that ALL deals at the Grocery Outlet are limited to however long the item lasts on their shelf).

- Nutrigrain Breakfast Biscuits - $0.50/box. This matches the Checkout 51 rebate for $1.00 off two boxes of Nutrigrain Bars. I bought two boxes and redeemed the rebate, which made them FREE! This is a Kellogg's brand, so it can be uploaded for the KFR program for points.

Walmart "Saving's Catcher" (hint: it doesn't catch your savings)
Walmart is usually a pretty cheap place to shop, but they do NOT have the best prices in town, and they know it. They do the best they can to keep your business anyway, with policies like Price Match and Savings Catcher. Price Match is amazing. Savings Catcher...not so much. You can read about Price Matching here.
The Savings Catcher is a feature on the Walmart app. Basically, after you've shopped at Walmart, you scan the code at the bottom of your receipt into the app. They app claims it will check the current advertised deals of local competitors, and if they find that someone else has what you purchased at Walmart on sale for cheaper, they'll give you the difference in a gift card.

Walmart - Price matching
I love Walmart. Say what you will about the people who shop and work there, but Walmart does the most of any other store to make sure they keep your business. I am particularly bias to Walmart because there is one directly behind my subdivision, so it makes my shopping life simple.
I will be honest though: Walmart does NOT have the best prices in town. If fact, Walmart RARELY has the best prices in town when it comes to my shopping list.
That being said, Walmart has a fantastic policy called Price Match, and therefore I do most of my shopping at Walmart because it allows me to get almost everything I need in one place.

Receipt Hog - the in's and out's
I almost didn't download Receipt Hog because of user reviews, but in hindsight, I'm glad that I use them. I have been using Receipt Hog for the same amount of time as Receipt Pal, and I've only earned about 1/3 the reward, but a lot of that is due to different rules about how to use the app - in other words, there was a learning curve :)
When I first started using it, Receipt Hog only accepted receipts from certain types of merchants, which made it frustrating because I couldn't upload receipts from gas purchases, restaurants, or thrift stores. However, with their most recent update, they now accept all receipts for at least some kind of reward, even if it's just a chance to play their slot game for a few extra coins.

ReceiptPal - the in's and out's
I discovered receipt apps in June, and I have to say I really love them. The idea is that you take a picture of your receipt when you get home, no matter where it was purchased from, and you're rewarded with a small amount of points. Once you reach a certain amount of points, you can cash out.
ReceiptPal is the easiest between the two that I use, because all I do is take a picture of the receipt. It can be a movie ticket stub, a printed invoice receipt from the doctor's office, or whatever you have to prove that you spent money. Since I already take a minute to sit down and upload my receipts into my rebate apps, it doesn't take much effort to upload them to the receipt app as well.
