October Totals

Well, another month is in the books! It's hard to believe how quickly the weeks go by. Here's how I did this month:

Spent $526.59

Saved $ 401.96

43%

BP Savings $15.30

Total BP Savings since the program started $69.72

I spent more than I would have liked this month, but found myself having large groups of kids over and needing to buy some things that were not on sale :( We'll try to be a bit better in November.

How are you doing? Would love to hear your stories!

50% Off Everything At Payless Through Friday!

Payless is offering 50% off EVERYTHING in the store until closing on 10/30. This is in conjunction with the Oprah Winfrey Show. Click HERE for a printable coupon. Great offer!

Local Updates

Lots of little pieces of information for you here. Be sure to read it all since some of these tidbits are important.

Cub Foods
The Cub Foods in Eden Prairie is no longer giving a reusable bag refund of $.05 per bag. This is something that they tried for a week recently and then stopped. I wonder why they would stop offering this when their competitors are still offering it?

Rainbow Foods
The Rainbow Foods in Eden Prairie has cracked down on multiple-order check outs. They are allowing you to check out with 2 orders per check-out. They say they have been getting complaints from customers and that the multiple orders take longer. This is why you must be highly orgazed if you shop this way. It saves everyone at the check-out! Here's the solution to this situation: Shop as usual. Check out with 2 orders, take the orders to your car, come back at get in the check out line again and check out 2 more orders.
I totally understand this change and respect the store for trying to keep everyone happy. What this means to me is that I simply need to allow a bit more time at the check-out. Not a big deal in my book.
Rainbow Foods is still offering at $.05/bag refund when you bring in your own bags. You must tell the cashier how many bags you have and remind them to credit you.

New Target Return Policy
I heard about this on the news this week and confirmed the details with the manager of my local Target today. The new return policy has to do with items that you want to return without a receipt. Old Policy: You could return 2 items without a receipt in a 12 month calendar year. There was a dollar limit of about $35 between the 2 items. NEW POLICY: The new policy is that you can return up to $75 worth of merchandise during the calendar year without a receipt. This could mean you return one item or multiple items. The total of your returns is linked to your drivers license that they will scan at the Guest Services Counter.
Target is making their policy more consumer friendly in order to keep the customer happy. They take in merchandise daily that they can't even be sure was bought at Target, so they are taken advantage of often. I always keep my receipts for things that might need returning at some point. I think their policy is very generous.
Target is also offering a $.05/bag refund when you bring in your own reusable bags. Thanks, Target!

Target Holiday Toy Coupon Catalog
This popular item is not available in stores yet, but it will be there my Wed. Nov. 4th for sure, maybe a day or 2 earlier. The catalog will be available in stores before it comes out in the paper on the 8th.

Land's End $10 Off A $10 Purchase

Land's End has a great offer going right now. Get $10 off an order of regular priced merchandise using the code: LandsEnd and the PIN 1124. This offer is good through 11/24. I just ordered 4 items from Landsend.com and it was cheaper to order each item separately and pay for shipping than it was to group the items together. Great opportunity to buy those smaller gifts (slippers, gloves, socks, etc) that don't cost a lot and save a decent amount at the same time.

Cartridge World Halloween Offer

UPDATE: Please tell the cashier at Cartridge World that you got the coupon from the Grocery Tutor Blog if you decide to use this offer. If they get a good response, they will offer us some freebies in the future. Look for more of this type of offer from Cartridge World around Thanksgiving time. I'll keep you posted!


Cartridge World has an awesome offer that is good only through Halloween! Bring in ONE copy of this coupon along with all of the cartridges that you need refilled and receive $3 or $5 off of EACH cartridge refill! I use this company to refill my cartridges all the time because it's a lot cheaper than buying new ones. I generally pay $8-9 for one refill, so this is an excellent deal for me! This coupon is good at the following Cartridge World locations: Eagan, Eden Prairie, Dundas, Fairbault and Stillwater. Simply click on the coupon and it will take you to another screen where a larger version of the coupon can be printed. This is a large image, so after you click on it, go to print preview and reduce the size to 30% before printing. Hope you're able to use this great offer!

Cartridge World does offer an Educator Discount of 10% off your total. However, with the above coupon offer, you cannot use both discounts. The coupon is about a 30% savings, so use that now and then the 10% later if you are an educator. Simply bring your ID in with you for verification and you'll be good to go!

NEW Target Coupon Supplement

You may have noticed that Target has a new coupon supplement in today's paper. It has a red cover and looks similar to the P&G inserts. There are over $18 worth of coupons for Target included in this insert. Each coupon expires 12/31.
I suggest that you clip each of these coupons and file them in your organizer with all of your other Target coupons. Watch the local ads for these items to go on sale. Remember that Target does price match competitors prices when they are printed in an ad. You may fine some great deals coming your way. Keep your eyes open to see if Target has another insert next week.

Nothing like great prices on gifts!

Early Sunday Edition of the Star Tribune

This weekend the Saturday early edition of the Sunday Star Tribune has changed. The promotion has been saying that the early edition and the Sunday edition will be the same minus any late-breaking news. Well, from what I can see, the early edition is the same as it has been. The early edition has always included the coupon inserts and a few ads, but not all of them. I picked up the early edition today at a Holiday Station Store for 50 cents and it does not have all of the ads. It is still missing the Target ad, Walmart ad (if there is one this weekend) and several others. I did receive 2 sections of coupon inserts.
I will compare this edition to the paper I get tomorrow morning and let you know what I see. I was hopeful that the early edition would truely be a complete paper. I am a bit disappointed, but will reserve judgement for a few weeks until I see how this all works out.
