A few months back I took advantage of the Groupon deal for The Virginian-Pilot. (see the listing here)

After a bit of soul searching, I realized that I truly do not need a 4th set of coupons each week. I already get 2 papers and my neighbor gives me theirs. (Plus, I’ve been making a concerted effort to use up my stockpiles, so I haven’t couponed very much this year.)

Now I’ve got this Groupon that needs to be used. It’s for a 6-month subscription and must be activated by12/17/11. If you already have a subscription to The Pilot, a new one will be added. Offer is subject to the terms as dictated by the Groupon deal (see link above).

To enter, answer the following question in the comments section: What your favorite coupon?

Winner will be chosen at random from all entries.
Contest closes 1 minute before midnight Tuesday (11/29/11 23:59 EDT)

*** WINNER – LISA KOLBY ***

gift card discountsWhile shopping at Farm fresh the other day, I got a Catalina when I checked out with a great deal on it. When you buy $100 or more participating gift cards in a single transaction you get another Catalina for $20 off  for your next trip. The offer is valid from November 20, 2011 until December 3, 2011. The limit is one grocery coupon issuance per customer per day and you can only redeem one per day as well. The grocery coupon is going to be valid for seven days from issuance. The gift cards are:

  • Applebee’s
  • iTunes
  • JCPenney
  • Lowe’s
  • Macy’s
  • Regal AMC Theaters
  • Sears
  • Kmart
  • Cabelas
  • Bass Pro Shops
  • Nike
  • TGI Friday’s
  • Amazon
  • Brinker (Chili’s)
  • California Pizza Kitchen
  • DSW
  • OfficeMax
  • Outback Steakhouse

For me, personally, I know I will be getting some Amazon cards and this might just be for myself. I shop at Amazon all the time in this is giving me 20% off the top. Okay okay I’ll probably also gets an iTunes cards for myself

The Virginian-Pilot is staying up on things and has sent out an email saying that because they don’t know what the situation with Hurricane Irene will be on Sunday, they’ll be delivering the inserts and ads on Saturday morning. The news portion will be delivered on Sunday, but not until they can assess the roads, etc.

So, even if  you don’t normally get a paper on Saturday, keep in eye out for your ads and coupons.

I just saw the post on The Coupon Consultant website that Farm Fresh is doubling dollar coupons through Tuesday. Awesome! I hadn’t even planned on looking at the newspaper today, and I missed Wednesday, so I’m looking forward to taking advantage of the sales.

Plus, the rumor mill is a-buzz with talk of super doubles at Harris Teeter next week. It’s been confirmed for *some* stores, but not for our area yet.
