Toys R Us/ Babies R Us are still holding out on us. Giant marked the diapers down to $2.50/pack. Weis has them at 50% off, which makes them $5/ pack. Another thing is that most of the packs have a $2 off coupon inside the package. You can feel around to see if your pack has one. I have been able to neatly open around the coupon and have used the $2 coupon on the packs I'm buying on clearence. Out of all the "santa" packs I've seen, only one pack has not had the coupon in it. I didn't open that pack. The stores I've been in haven't given me a problem opening up one sie of the package to use the coupon. Once again you can feel the coupon flyer inside of it. Using the $2 off coupon has made the clearence price so much sweeter. Hopefully some of your readers will be able to find some great deals on these diapers. Thanks again for all your posts/blog.

Sadly, there is no way I can know what will be cancelled and what will be filled. I am having a hard time accepting personal responsibility for companies that can't update their inventory to reflect out of stock issues in a timely manner. I have found in over three years of blogging it is extremely rare that orders are cancelled. 99.99% of them are filled. We happen to have had bad luck with 2 deals from Toys R Us, one deal from JC Penney and 1 deal from Staples and possibly some orders from Maidenform recently. That would be a total of five or six deals that I can recall from the past several months. I probably posted up to 50 deals per day in December. So there were hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of deals that worked out fine. I actually take a great deal of offense to your comment that the deals I post don't happen. I would stop blogging if the deals I posted were wrong because it is not fun for me either to get comments like this blaming me for an order being cancelled. I guess you just have to decide if you want to focus on the very, very, very small minority of things that don't work out or the majority of things that do. That is a decision you will have to make though and if the very small number of orders that do get cancelled are going to be really upsetting to you, perhaps it might be better to just pass on the offers so you can avoid any possibility of disappointment. I just posted an alternate deal from Target that is still excellent for Sharpies. You will pay $.50 more plus 2 fewer pens- that is a total of $1.00 more than the Staples deal. Had my order been cancelled by Staples, I would have been disappointed for a moment and then I probably would have been happy that there was another option that was still an excellent deal for me to get. ;) Oh and one last note, as I mentioned in the post JC Penney did cancel orders and they issued a $50 credit. The credit was in a separate email that came a few days ago. Staples did cancel a $3 order and they refunded people's money and gave them $5 in cash direct to their bank accounts as an apology. You might check again because I bet you did get both of those and maybe just overlooked them? So if you followed the posts- there was an alternate JC penney item that worked out to be $4 LESS than the one that was cancelled AND for Staples just go to Target and you are still making a $4 profit after that extra $5 they gave as an inconvenience fee.

I realize it is not your fault, but it is disheartening to have my JcPenney order cancelled today. I did not receive the $50 credit that a lot of others got. My email stated "We regret that we cannot be of help to you in this instance. Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience this may cause. ". Not exactly the great customer service the rest of you received. Then I also had my Staples order canceled for the Sharpie markers. I love the deals you present, just wish they actually happen.

Our local paper doesn't get them either, the only reason I subscribe to the Sac Bee is for the PG and RP. I’m really bummed, I have 6 subs to the Sac Bee and the PG inserts are what pay for them.

I just became addicted to all things frugal this summer. I have had so much fun and I've even impressed my difficult-to-impress husband! I set a goal in early fall to get all my Christmas cards for free using your help. Last year I spent almost $200 on cards! I like high-quality cardstock personalized cards and didn't think I could do it and keep the quality. Well, I'm happy to report I just mailed out almost 100 beautiful cards and paid nothing but shipping on about 60 of the cards! The others had free shipping too! I even got the free address labels with the One Kings Lane credit. When I tell people about it they are shocked. I always give you the credit. :) Thank you so much! I just wanted to thank you for your blog. I just became addicted to all things frugal this summer. I have had so much fun and I’ve even impressed my difficult-to-impress husband!

Safeway has a Starbucks promotion starting this Friday - get a free Grande beverage when you buy a Gift Pack. (Safeway Kiosks only) The gift pack includes 1 lb. of their Christmas Blend Coffee and a Holiday Tumbler for $21.95 I priced these items individually and they would cost $25.90 so you get a $3.95 savings and a FREE Grande drink. Plus, the gift pack comes all packaged up and ready for gift giving! I’m sure you saw this, but I love a Starbucks deal…

The vast majority of other stores will not- including Target. Yes they get the full amount back from the manufacturer but they still have a policy to adjust the coupon down. I find I get overage a lot of the time but that Tide is an usual one because it is just such a huge red flag going through checkout plus the darn thing beeps.

Your blog is so helpful! I have a question about Target coupon policy regarding overage. I was at Target a couple weeks ago and they gave me the coupon overage but today the same target did not which is fine. I just wondered what the policy is and also if they do not give the overage, does Target get paid the full amount of the coupon? The coupon I had was $2.00 off of Tide and I purchased the travel size at .97. Even without the overage Target is so much more coupon friendly than Walmart where I try not to shop with coupons! Thank you. Sarah Hi Charlene,

If you scanned them into your computer to get 100 copies or you took the coupon to photocopy 100 copies you would get in trouble ;) Coupons usually have a limit of 2 prints so more often then not, they tell you when you can't have more.

Went to Bob Evans last night, they had a deal where you buy a $25 gift card and get $6 in coupons. So I bought the gift card right after we were seated knowing we would spend $25 anyway. The coupouns were $3 off of bob evans grocery products and $3 off any purchase of $10 in the restaurant. They also have $6 dinners M-F all day. Saved $3 off dinner just by buying the card.

I've been sending off for several free samples in the last few weeks. I opened a padded manilla envelope from Revlon and it was completely empty! Any idea of what it might have possibly been.

I am saving lots and starting a nice little stock pile of things. Could you please tell me where I can "adopt" a military base to send the expired coupons to ?

That would mean $20.99-$12.00 (7ECB and $5 off coupon)= $8.99 + tax=$11.86 total for me. So, between all of these transactions, I spent roughly $15 bucks, got a $10 CVS gift card back (buy $30 and get $10 gift card promotion). I will submit an Olay rebate form to get $10 back from a $30 purchase. Hence, $5.00 moneymaker! My deal would have been better if my store had not run out of Illy coffee--I would have had some overage from the two Illy coupons I had. Susie from California $5 moneymaker on 2 Olay Regenerist moisturiizing serums:

Today only:

I wanted to make sure you're aware of a second possible Olay/Allure gift set offer: On October 21, you posted about the "Olay Gift Packs (Back in Stock!) $10 plus $10 Mail in Rebate," and featured an image of the products in a plastic basket. Now on-line and in stores, Wal-mart has "Olay Luscious Holiday Gift Sets... (with) Bonus Free Subscription to Allure - Value $23.00." You can see them here: http://www.walmart.com/ip/Olay-Luscious-Holiday-Gift-Sets-select-from-two-scents.-Bonus-Free-Subscription-to-Allure-Value-23.00/17781709 I purchased the plastic basket set on-line and the Luscious Indulgence set in store, and can confirm the rebate program names are different -- so we should be able to submit both rebates. The newer one isn't quite as good (it states the value of the magazine subscription is $9.00), but still: All of those products for a dollar and a stamp? Sounds like a great deal to me!
