Target released some new coupons and so you will want to browse the selection of coupons to print before they are gone. We posted real quick while we were in Yellowstone (sitting in the visitor’s center which was the only place we could find with FREE wi-fi ) about the new Target coupons that came out this last weekend. By the time we got home on Tuesday morning, many of the ones we saw and wanted to print were already gone! So if you ever see some Target printables that you like, don’t wait to print them (unless you were somewhere without a printer like us!).
Then head to Target and purchase the tub of wipes ranging from about $2.50 – $2.99 each depending on the type of wipes (they may be lower depending on your region)= $5.00 – $6.00

There is a new September coupon book. Common Sense With Money has a list of all of the coupons this month!
There are a few deals this week. Here are some of our favorites:
.33 John Frieda Root Awakening Shampoo or Conditioner
Buy 3 John Frieda Root Awakening Shampoo or Conditioner sale for $5 each = $15
Then use three $3.00/1 8/22 Smart Source – $9.00 = $6.00
Then receive a $5 Register Reward (Walgreens cash) so when considering this discount = final is $1.00 for 3 or .33 each!
Don’t forget to request your sample too – these are great for travelling. This is a month long register reward and it will probably not be marked on the shelf. This deal should still work as it as already been done many times this month and confirmed by several.
$2.99 Garnier Herbashine
Buy 1 Garnier Herbashine Hair Color for $5.99 with in-ad coupon
*Please remember that the Walgreens deals may vary by region, as well as the coupon inserts from the Sunday paper. You will want to verify the deals with your local ad, plus your local coupons. Unfortunately, Utah seems to miss some of the deals more often than others!

This is just so cool! I LOVE these! And if you know us, you know we love the photo deals. It is something that is important to us and our kids love having all kinds of memories all around.
Well this photo deal is a fun and unique way to display favorite memories or as a very special gift to someone special. Christmas is coming up, in addition to Grandparent’s Day on September 12th.
Right now you can get the photo plates for 50% off with coupon code: plates-14 and FREE Shipping (you will need to pay sales tax)!
So log-in or register and create your photo plate or plates and then use the coupon code: plates-14 at checkout to see your total drop by 50% and $0.00 for shipping! YAY! This is good now through September 6th for a Labor Day weekend sale.
*Please note that it will show you a 30% off promo code – don’t use this one as you want to use : plates-14 for the 50% off instead! You will enter the promo code on the first page of checkout!
Here’s the plate we made and a picture of our cart:
Several weeks ago we read somewhere (in two places in fact!) on Amazon that the 30% subscribe and save was ending on 8/31. It is usually a 15% subscribe and save option and the extra 15% (30%) was for a limited time, in which we thought that it was 8/31. But for whatever reason, we are not complaining a bit and are excited to see it still going!
So if you are in need of diapers, now is the time still If you can round up more coupon codes from current magazines. Then you will score even better deals and get diapers for pennies!
Please note – check the Amazon 20% off codes from the magazines for expiration dates. The August magazine issues coupons did expire on the 31st of August. In addition, the Amazon coupons may have reset. Today when we checked, there was only a $1.00 off coupon for Pampers. So check your account to see what coupons are avalilable for you now that it is the start of a new month!
Enjoy the amazing Amazon diaper deal while we can. In the meantime, we are going to see if we can figure out when this is ending as it would sure be nice to know exactly how long we have to maximize on this deal! If you find out – let us know!
Safeway is also running a coupon promotion right now. Their event is a double coupon event – all coupons will be doubled up to $1.00! This means if you have a .25 = .50, .40 = .80, .50 = $1.00, .75 = $1.00 etc. This has been verified for Colorado stores, but you will want to verify it with your local Safeway.
Our friend Jennie from Bargain Blessings has put together the Safeway deals with coupon matchups and so you will definitely want to head over to her site and check out the deals. She even gives everything a grade (A-F) which is helpful reference for you.
Here are some of the deals you will find, you will need to head to Bargain Blessings for the details:
