Target & Kroger (or Fry's)- Get 2 Free Hasbro Card Games

Stop by Kroger (or Fry's) this week to pick up two Hasbro card games for FREE. Here’s the scoop. These card games are on sale buy-one-get-one-free through Saturday at Kroger. Use the buy-one-get-one-free coupon (up to $6.99) on page 3 of the USA Weekend insert in yesterday’s newspaper to get both for free.

Hasbro card games include Scrabble Slam, Rook, Monopoly Deal, Littlest Pet Shop Go Fish and Pictureka. Coupon expires 11/30. Quick note that not all markets get USA Weekend with their Sunday paper. Many get Parade instead.

You can also get two Hasbro card games at Target (Scrabble Slam or Monopoly Deal) when you pair this USA Weekend coupon with the buy-one-get-one-free Target coupon (valid through 11/24).

Wednesdays Shopping at Fry's

I love going grocery shopping with coupons. I like handing the cashier my coupons, and I love when the cashier hands me my receipt and tells me how much I saved. There are those occasions when my savings aren’t as great as I had anticipated, but some savings are better than no savings (in my mind). But this shopping trip, has to be one of my favorites and one of those times when I realize why couponing is so important. It’s not just about the savings, it’s about being smart and utilizing resources available to me. Wait till you see my savings on this trip! I bought:
