Only P&G Inserts 11/30/08
Yes, it's true. The only coupons in the paper this weekend are the Proctor & Gamble ones. There's still good coupons there, but just don't buy a bundle of papers expecting Smart Source and Red Plum inserts. You can still go to the Smart Source webpage and other internet coupon printing sites.

Coupons for Sunday, November 30, 2008
Well, from what I've heard, there will only be a P&G coupon insert in this Sunday's paper. So, be careful to check your papers, before you buy a bunch thinking that there will be a lot of coupons inside.
I'll go tomorrow to buy the local paper and see for myself. If that's the case, I'll probably only buy a few papers this week, again. Remember, coupons are usually low on weekends with a holiday in it.

Can you really save much money?
That question is probably the most frequent one I hear from people every where. That and the comment, "Oh, you just end up buying things you don't need and it's really not worth the effort." Well, I can say from experience that you can save a lot of money and it is definitely worth all my effort and time.
In July 2008, I began shopping using the methods I described in my previous article, "Tips to maximize your savings". After stocking up on coupons for only 2 1/2 months, here's my savings statement for October 2008:
Subtotal of all items $1009.52
Coupons savings 404.73
Store savings 267.63
out of pocket (oop) 337.16
Total savings $672.36 !!! That's 67% off my total bill. I'd say, that's worth the effort to me. And, I'm looking forward to bigger savings this month as I continue to get a good coupon base and learn new ways to save. Look for my November saving's report in a few days as the month is coming to a close.

Leftover Turkey Recipe
Are you ready for ways to use up that leftover turkey?
Well, I've got a recipe for you that everyone in my family likes & it's super easy.
Turkey Rollups
1 can biscuits
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 cup milk
1 cup cheddar cheese
Press biscuits flat. Put a spoonful of turkey in the center of each. Bring the top and bottom of the biscuit together and press to seal. Turn roll up over, seam side down in the bottom of a greased 9x13 pan. Do this for all 10 biscuits. Bake at 350 for about 15 minutes or until the biscuits are just beginning to turn brown. Remove from oven.
Mix the soup and milk together with a whisk. Pour over the turkey roll ups. Sprinkle with the cheddar cheese. Return to oven and bake for another 20 minutes.
It's great served with cranberries or sweet potatoes. (Unless, you are burnt out on these. Then, green beans would work, too.)
Now the money saving side of this recipe is:
1. You will have the turkey already, so no cost there.
2. Biscuits are always on sale, and coupons for them are more than plentiful!!
3. Cheese is on sale at Kroger's 3/$5. Use only 1/2 of the package.
It's a great and tasty way to use up that turkey!!!

Low Coupon Weekend!!
Well, most of you probably already have realized that the coupons in this last weekend's paper were, to say the least, skimpy!! I was not really surprised, though. Usually, on weekends where there is a holiday, there will sometimes be no inserts. So, even though all we got was a very thin Smart Source, at least we got something.
Anyway, for me, I took advantage of the extra time that I would have spent cutting and instead I did some organizing of my coupons. You know, the fun task of throwing out the expired ones. I also am bad about if I'm in a hurry in the store, sticking unused coupons in the back for later.
So, I'm all set and ready to get the great bargains!!
If you still would like some more coupons, go to some of my favorite online coupon sites:
