Final price is after you calculate future savings with Extra Care Bucks (ECB).
This is just a preview that I do listing what coupons databases say will be in the paper and they aren’t always 100% correct. I usually make needed adjustments by late Sunday afternoon, so it’s best to come back to look over the final list if you shop later in the week.

Ibotta is offering a $10 sign up bonus for NEW users. I just got an email saying it starts today (Thursday) and will go for a limited time.
You will have to redeem five different offers in the first two weeks, and then the $10 bonus will be added to your account
If you haven’t tried it, give it a shot! It’s fairly simple to use.
You can use it at most major stores stores like Fry’s, Target, Walmart, Walgreens, CVS, Safeway, etc.
After you download the app:
- Click to complete short “tasks” for items you’re interested in
- Buy selected products
- Take a picture of your receipt & UPC
- Get $$ into your account
- Cash out when you hit $5
- New offers will soon appear in your app
Note: If you are buying a lot, I would the item rung separately or with a couple other items. It’s a pain to take a picture of a long receipt. Also note that you can use coupons and still get the savings, but I’m always worried, if I my total is going to be $0.00, so I add other items to the receipt.
You’ll probably be seeing some items you’ll buy anyway. I love that part! We include the ones we notice on the shopping lists, to make it simple for you. (You can use the search box on the top right of the website and search “ibotta” to see where they are on the lists.)

Links for You . . .
I’ve been getting quite a few emails lately from people wanting me to do a coupon class or new to couponing, who are confused and have a question. I thought it would be helpful for me to repost this, which I posted after my last coupon class. (Currently, I don’t have a coupon class planned.)
The links will help you get to some of the important information. Also, don’t forget that there is a Facebook page! We post additional offers over there, mostly Facebook only deals and ones we think will be gone very quickly. You can also ask questions over there. Sometimes another reader will beat me to answering it, if I’m not around. Plus, it’s just more interactive. You will even get to hear boring things like the fact that I just got braces yesterday. I know, exciting — don’t all run over to Facebook at at once! :)
Here are some links for you . . .
Arizona Republic Newspaper for $7/week — home delivery on Sundays & Wednesdays
Saving Star — future savings, “click away,” payout at $5+
Endorse & Ibotta — mobile apps that give you money back for certain items
Safeway JustforU – sign up and make sure to check “personalized deals”
Video explaining the shopping list function – Try it, you’ll like it! :)
Organizing coupons — list of categories, etc.
Store policies — print out the ones you shop at
Here are some other general links to help jog your memory.
And, someone asked me about how I save on meat (after the class). I just wait for sales or use Zaycon Foods for buying bulk meats, especially boneless, skinless chicken breasts. (They were recently $1.79/lb for 40 pounds.) You can sign up to receive an email the next time they’re in town with chicken. They are coming soon and now taking orders for bacon ($3.49/lb for 36 lbs).
If I missed something important or you have a question, just leave a comment below. Thanks! ~ Juli

If you don’t have a blog/website, you may not have any clue what a “blog button” is. I was with you, a couple years ago, before starting this website.
It’s the image above. Basically, it’s the little logo “thing” that you can paste onto a website, with the computer code included (also called a widget).
I was recently asked for it and I remembered that I never told you it was now on the website, if you ever want it. (Go to “about” on the top menu bar and then “blog button.”)
I realize this won’t thrill most of you, but some of you have a personal blog or website and you like to share your favorite online websites with your readers. If that’s you and you’d be willing to post a link to Bargain Believer — thank you very much! It’s appreciated more than you know.
Here’s the code if you want to grab it from here:
<div align="center"><a href="http://www.bargainbeliever.com" title="Bargain Believer"><img src="http://www.bargainbeliever.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/bargain_believer_125_white.png" alt="Bargain Believer" style="border:none;" /></a></div>
Thanks to our friend, Gary, who made the logo! It will appear on the website someday. It doesn’t “fit” (in computer ways) and the website is waiting for a redesign — someday! It’s been on the Bargain Believer Facebook page for a long time, but that’s as far as we got. There’s always plenty on my “to do” list! :)

CVS is doing away with their green bag tag. I loved my green bag tag.
You have through 5/28 to bring in your green bag tag. The cashier will scan it and you will get a $2 ECB as a thank you for participating in the program. The cashier may take the tag or you can recycle it. As of 4/28, you will no longer get credit for using it. The $2 is a nice gift though!
