Sunday Coupon Inserts 3/13

This Sunday (3/13) there should be (2) inserts in your Sunday newspaper.
(1) SmartSource   -- 3/13 SS
(1) Red Plum  -- 3/13 RP

If you are new to couponing label each insert with the date and initials (3/13 SS or 3/13 RP.) Everyone sorts differently. This works for me.

Take A Minute Tuesday

OK, so this is Wednesday. I was so tired yesterday. I guess I just needed to take a minute. Oh, that was corny!

Last week I was in the drive-thru at a Wendy's. I handed my money to the cashier. She didn't take it. She told "you're meal's been paid for." I just looked at her. She finally told me that the women in front of me had paid for my meal. WOW! I was thrilled. But, it also got me to thinking. Would I ever do this? I am very grateful of this women for paying for my meal. I had not planned on eating out and also ordered more than the happy meal (my normal fast food order.) But, really, am I that generous to pay for the meal behind me in a drive thru? I have thought about this for almost a week and just don't see me doing this.
What about you? 
Would you pay, just randomly for the meal behind you?

Then add these other Kroger Catalina Deals going on and they OVERLAP with the big Kraft Catalina.  Which means that if, for an example, buy four of the items you used to get to your $20 Kraft total happen to be Jell-O Refrigerated snacks, you will not only get your Kraft Catalina, but ALSO a $3 Jell-O Catalina!  See below:
Jell-O Refrigerated Snacks: (Runs from 3/4 – 3/27)
Buy (2), get $1, Buy (3), get $2, Buy (4), get $3
Velveeta Shells & Cheese 9.4 oz + (Runs from 2/21 – 3/20)
Buy (3), get $2, Buy (4) get $3, Buy (5+) get $4 off Catalina

I bought 5 boxes of Velveeta Shells & Cheese, 2 Philly Cream Cheese, 2 Oscar Meyer Bologna, 2 pkg of Kraft Sliced Cheese. Now, I had coupons for the cream cheese, the sliced cheese and the Bologna. I did receive the $4 Catalina and the $5 Catalina. Both of these are for ONYO. (on your next order)
The total for these items was $24.66.
coupons used were
1 -$1.00 ecoupon - Kraft cheese
2 -$1.00 off cream cheese
1 -$1.50/2 Oscar Meyer
Total paid was $21.66
I received $9.00 total ONYO
= $12.66 for 11 items that the original cost was 1.94 -2.50 apiece.


What's On The Table This Week

This week is going to be supper easy foods and lots of comfort foods. I am a little tired of cooking and NO ONE eating it. If they do, nobody eats the leftovers. To honor Mardi Gras we will have Jambalaya on Tuesday. I took advantage of the Kraft deal at Kroger's yesterday. We always have boxes of mac &cheese in the cupboards but now we have an over abundance.

Monday         Leftovers - We ended up having Pizza on Sunday
Tuesday         Fat Tuesday -Jambalaya!
Wednesday   Grilled Cheese and Tomato Soup
Thursday       Tacos and Burritos
Friday             Macaroni and Cheese w/Hot Dogs and Chili
Saturday        I have no idea
Sunday          Bean & Cheese Enchiladas  (will try again)
