If you like to peek ahead to see what coupons you should expect on Sunday, go to Sunday Coupon Preview and check it out. It looks like we should be getting three inserts this Sunday . . . Red Plum (RP) and Smart Source (SS) and General Mills (GM).
The picture above is on the top right corner of the website. You can click to check to see what's coming anytime.
Remember, coupons are sometimes regional, so there aren't any guarantees what we'll get. However, they are usually pretty close and give you a good idea what to expect.
If you don't get the Sunday coupons, you can get the Sunday and Wednesday papers delivered for only $1 or $1.50 a week for the Arizona Republic! You'll save so much more!

Jess is a pro at getting animals' needs taken care of for a great price. She emailed me about this cat spaying deal. (Thanks, Jess!)
Altered Tails is offering cat spays for $20 this month (February) if you mention the "Beat the Heat" special. There's also a coupon for $5 off, which might be able to be used also. Ask when you make your appointment.
If you have dog needs or can't do it this month, here are the deals she's shared in the past.
SpayAZ is a great source for cats & dogs.
(Prices are all listed on their website, so no surprises.)
Catnipandtuck.org – $20 for males and $30 for females

Reminder . .
Have you told your friends (and remembered yourself?) that I'm doing a FREE coupon class in Chandler this Saturday, Feb. 4th?
If you have shared, please enter the giveaway for one of two $25 Fry's gift cards. Get more information about the class and giveaway.
(If this gets buried by other posts, there is a link on the top right of the website that will be there until the class.)

I figured I'd throw these two remotely related items together in one post. Hey, they're printable coupons, right?
There's a new Huggies Slip Ons printable coupon available. (Scroll down and look on the bottom right.) It's $3 if you share it with three friends, $1 if you don't. (Thanks, Totally Target!)
And . . . just a reminder that we're nearing the end of the month. Most printable coupons will remain, but some will disappear. Make sure you print the ones you know you'll use. Don't go too crazy — ink and paper ads up!
Coupons.com — Haribo Candy cooupon is back!
25¢ at Fry's (through 1/31, 49¢ later) 49¢ at Safeway

I posted this over a year ago and many of you told me you switched to this plan. I figured it's time to tell you again! I'm still happy with my plan.
Unfortunately, it used to be $25, but it's now $35. I still think that's great for what you get and the fact that you're not under contract. (I really like the fact that they haven't raised my rate yet, even not being under contract!) I'm just going to copy what I posted before, but it's a SUPER DEAL THIS WEEK. If you aren't under a contract, consider a switch!
THIS WEEK (through 2/4/11) at Best Buy, you can get an LG Optimus smart phone for $99 and also get a $50 Best Buy gift card if you activate it in the store. You can use it for this plan without being under contract!! Amazing deal!! (It's advertised on the back page of their Sunday ad.)
I'm not a heavy cell phone user and hated the fact that I was paying $39.99 per month for my phone, without a data plan! Psychologically, I couldn't go on a pay per minute plan even though I knew I would save money. Even my husband's very logical numbers and rational advice didn't sway me. I needed to think I wasn't paying for each minute. Not wise, I know!! It's very unlike me, but ??? I would probably cut my friends off mid sentence if I was paying by the minute. :) This is NOT a good bargain way to think, but a reasonably priced plan was my irrational splurge.
So, if you're like me, read on. If you don't use many minutes and you are more rational, check into pay per minute plans. (Sorry, no link, you're on your own.) You really will save money following my husband's very rational advice. Let me know if you switch to a pay per minute plan so I can let him know that his wisdom wasn't wasted on me. :)
What is it? You prepay (can set up auto payments) $35 and get 300 minutes with unlimited texting and data each month. It's through Virgin Mobile, which uses the Sprint Network. I have loved having internet access — probably a little too much. You can click on the link above or the chart above for more details.
The phone was an upfront cost, but I prefer that to a contract, which this plan doesn't have. You can get one for around $100, which you can save in just a couple short months without your higher monthly free. And remember — no contract!!!
I'm not sure how it works if your spouse needs one or you need a family plan. (My husband works 2 miles away and is with me the majority of the other times, so he uses a very cheap phone and we pay very little per minute for his.) It might be worth looking into and doing a comparison. I THINK you just need to do two separate plans. If you find out otherwise, please leave a comment below.
Look into it!

The picture above is on the top right corner of the website.
You can click to check to see what's coming anytime.
We never know exactly what coupons we're getting until they show up, but you can always look ahead to see what we can hope for at Sunday Coupon Preview. Coupons are regional, so there are some differences, but it's fairly accurate. It looks like we should be getting four inserts this Sunday!
2 Red Plum (RP)
1 Smart Source (SS)
1 Proctor & Gamble (P&G)
If you don't get the Sunday coupons, you can get the Sunday and Wednesday papers delivered for only $1 or $1.50 a week for the Arizona Republic! I'm guessing if you sign up quickly you can get this Sunday's paper delivered!
These are some of my favorites that I'm hoping for. All deals are at Fry's:
$0.50 Ragu — *FREE
$0.25 Safeguard 2 pk Bar Soap — 29¢
$1/2 Keebler or Cheez-its — $1 for multipacks or *$1.95 for Cheez-its
$0.50 I Can't Believe It's Not Butter — *79¢
$2 Stouffer's — *$10.99 for party size (12 servings!)
$0.40 Colgate Toothbrush & $0.50 Toothbrush – not sure of great sale yet, but hopeful it will come!
(You can get toothpaste for 86¢ after coupon ($1.86 reg. price)
** Part of the Buy 10, Save $5, mix & match sale
I added all these potential coupons to the current Fry's list. I will change anything I need to on Sunday afternoon, once I get a chance to look through my coupons.
We also might be getting a $3 Iams coupon in the P&G insert. It could make the small bag free at Target or Walmart, so be on the lookout. Let me know if you find the prices, if we get the coupon.

This deal isn't for everyone since seafood is just plain expensive food! I thought I'd post it for those who love seafood and have freezer space or someone to share it with.
Zaycon Foods sells food in bulk. They are coming to MANY Arizona locations with cod, white shrimp, and salmon between February 22nd and 29th.
Frozen Alaskan True Cod Fillets $4.99/lb = $99.80 for 20 pound box
White Shrimp (cooked, peeled, deveined) $5.99/lb = $143.76 for 24 pound box
Alaskan Caught Sockeye Salmon Fillets $7.49/lb = $149.80 for 20 pound box (approx. 10 two pound filets)
The ordering closes on February 15th or until sold out.
They have also come with chicken, 93% lean ground beef, and peaches. If you don't want seafood, sign up and get on their mailing list (even out of AZ). They will only email you when there is an event in your area.

I finally got to meet Alicia of Deals in AZ today for lunch. My eight year old daughter was worried for my safety since I don't usually meet my cyber friends. But, I got home in one piece and Alicia wasn't scary at all! :)
I wanted to let you all know about her website, if you haven't already checked her out. We highlight some of the same deals, but there are so many different deals we do. I focus more on the everyday essentials with groceries and household needs. She does a little bit of that, but also finds great dining, entertainment, and online deals. You can splurge on some things, but save money at the same time.
You can:
Go to her website
Follow her on Facebook
Follow on Twitter
You can also send her an email requesting to be added to her mailing list (aliciasdealsinaz@gmail.com)
