  2. This is a great weekly overview to double check if I missed anything and a great last reminder. Is the printable coupon for spaghettios at Meijer still available to print? What is the deal?

  3. The Campbell's Spaghettios coupon is a Meijer Mealbox coupon. No print limits. You'll find details in the Meijer matchup post. Here's the coupon link:

  6. i love your site but here is a suggestion, hope you dont mind. when we click on a link it takes us to that site. It would be great if it would open a new window or tab but keep your site open. its hard to get back to your site, especially after bricks coupons. I think that your site would be more profitable this way as well, because people would remain and keep looking. I know that moneysavingmom.com does this, if you needed an example of what i am rambling about. Thanks,

  7. Thanks, Rita! I'm working on making this happen(many people have recommended it). Unfortunately, I'm not a big blog like Money Saving Mom - and according to my blog designer, it would require a major redesign to make this happen. I'm trying to save up the $500 design charge (along with $240 yearly in hosting fees), but for now there's not much else I can do about it. Please right-click on any link and select "open in a new window" until I can afford to change it! And keep printing coupons from my site - every little bit helps!

  9. I'm so glad you tried the Spaetzle Soup recipe - we made it again a couple days ago! SO good in this cold weather! I like to add a little dill weed in the Spaetzle dough, too!
