News 5 Links!

We made News 5!!!!!!

I figured out how we made WLWT News 5 this morning - and it was not just in the links. This site was actually shown on the news thanks to a wonderful reader that told them she saves money thanks to great blogs like this one. THANK YOU.

HERE you will see the story with a direct link to NND and the video with this site shown at the end.

Or, you can go HERE and scroll down towards the bottom and you will notice that the link is listed under News 5 Links.

Thank you WLWT Channel 5 for recognizing Nickels-n-Dimes and thank you to the reader that thought to mention this site as one she reads!

WELCOME TO ANY NEW READERS

COMING FROM WLWT NEWS 5!

Here at Nickels-n-Dimes, I try to not only focus on the GREAT (FREE or almost free items), but I also include coupon matchups for many of the sale items. I do this because I know that not everyone wants to shop (or has time / space) for stockpile purposes. I want to save you - no matter how big or small. Even if you don't shop like a Queen, you will see that saving a few nickels-n-dimes will really add up over time.

There will be printable versions for each list so you can print and go as I know first hand how busy life can be for us all.

Here, you can learn to be a coupon queen (or king) or simply do your normal weekly shopping while still saving all of those hard earned Nickels-n-Dimes.

Please feel free to comment or email if I can be of any assistance to you!!!

I have tried on several occasions to reach one of the winners, but have not heard back with an address, so I am left with no choice but to announce a new winner.

Reviewing a few coupons

Did you notice that the Frank's Red Hot Sauce coupon was not for $1.00 off, but for a FREE bottle??!?!?!

Did you notice that the Ensure coupon is good for the single bottles as well? This item is $1.59 each at Kroger. Minus this coupon, you will get them for $0.59 per bottle. If you buy a 6 pack, you will pay over $7.00, so you can see the savings in buying per bottle with this coupon. Watch for a sale and get an even better deal!

Did you see the $0.50 off any Suave lotion coupon? Once this doubles, you can get a small bottle at Kroger for $0.09 each.

Did you know that many times you can find Bounty Basic single roll paper towels on sale for $1.00. Combine the $0.25 MQ (doubling to $0.50) and you can get these for $0.50 each.

Did you get your Just for Men rebate? Last time this came out, it was a money maker of $9.99 on this product. Go HERE to get yours.
