Picture Of The Week – Coupons With Sweet Strawberries

New couponing images at KKHPhotos.com!

…but before we get to the picture of the week I just want to say… Welcome to the blog to my two newest followers; Colline and Alice! I hope you ladies find something you like here and be sure to look up KKH Photos on Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest!

So sorry this post is a day late but I was busy moving my things into my new space. Oh, don’t get too excited just yet there are still repairs to be done and paint to be splashed on the walls and then there is this old green carpet… yuck. However I am finally out of the little tiny corner I was working in and into a nice big room! With my light tent in it’s new home we can actually use the kitchen table as a table once again; not sure I’ll remember how to sit at a table it’s been a long time.

OK; now back to that picture of the week.

Recently I did a little searching around the web and found a number of my couponing stock photos in use; so I decided it might be time to get a few more of those coupon images out there for my fellow coupon shoppers to use on their blogs.

This one is kind of fun and in addition to those beloved coupons it also features one of my newest little photo props… tasty looking styrofoam strawberries. I just love finding new little things to toss into a shot.

This coupon image and more are available at KKHPhotos.com tucked away in the “Miscellaneous Photos” group, in the “Couponing Stock Photos” gallery.

I’m Noticing A Theme Here

Finding your stock photos in use is a little like finding the lost needle in that infamous haystack, finding just one raindrop in the vast ocean, or clearing all but one grain of sand from the beaches of Hawaii.

Ok; maybe I exaggerate a bit… but it’s not easy!

Recently I did a little Google searching and managed to find a few of my images in use on the web. I snagged a quick screen shot of each as I found them and bookmarked the page incase I wanted to go back later.

After a while I began to notice a theme.

All of the images I was finding were couponing photos!

I guess that’s still a hot topic.

I know I’ve sold may other images on a wide variety of topics… where are they hiding?

If you’d like to see more screen shots with a few of my stock photos in use check out the KKH Photos ~ On The Web album over at the Facebook Page; and while you’re there go ahead and click that like button. (Everyone likes to be liked!)

Free Mustard, Free Tomatoes, And A 41% Savings

It has been such a long time since I’ve done a post about my couponing adventures that I felt like it was time for another one.

I know, I know…

That has nothing to do with photography but hey!

I can’t have the camera in my hand 24/7; I do have to go grocery shopping once in a while. Got to pick up the ingredients to cook up things like Saucy Dogs to take pictures of; don’t I?

Ok; I’ll make this one quick and only include the best deals and over this past weekend I got the best deals at Dillons.

I know that by now most of these sales are over and some of these coupons are no longer available or have even expired; but I still share just to let you know what you can accomplish with just a few moments of clipping and a minute or two of organizing you coupons.

What I found to stock up on at Dillons this past weekend…

Digiorno Pizzas @ $4.99 – B2GO IPC that scanned at $5.49 = $3.16 pizzas

Oscar Mayer Franks @ $1.99 – .50/1 IPC (doubled) = .99 hotdogs

Mahatma Rice @ $1.99 – .50/1 IPC (doubled) = .99 rice

All laundry soap @ $2.99 – $2.00/2 MQ =$1.99 each

Miracle whip @ $2.99 – $1.00/1 IPC = $1.99 a jar

Klenex Hand Towels @ $1.99 – .60/1 MQ (doubled) = .99 a box

McCormick Fajita seasoning @ .89 – .50/2 IPC (doubled) = .39 a packet

McCormick Taco seasoning @ .79 – .50/2 IPC (doubled) = .29 a packet

French’s Yellow mustard @ .99 – .30/1 MQ (doubled) = .39 a bottle

French’s Spicy Brown mustard @ .99 – .50/1 MQ (doubled) = FREE mustard + .01 overage for each bottle

Rotel tomatoes @ .49 – .50/2 MQ (doubled) = FREE Rotel + .01 overage for each can

By using my store loyalty card, SQ, MQ, IPC, EQ, and by spending a little time to look over the sale ad and plan my shopping trip before I left home I was able to save over $100.00 on this one trip to this one store! When I did the math it worked out to a 41% savings at Dillions alone. And keep in mind that I usually stop at 3 stores when I make the 70 mile trip for grocery shopping; Walgreens, Walmart, and Dillons. If I were to go 90 miles I could add a Target stop to that list.

Now you all get out there and Make The Most Of Your Coupons!

************************************

*B2GO = buy 2 get one free.

*.50/1 = fifty cents of the purchase of one product  and $2.00/2 = $2.00 of the purchase of two products.

*IPC = internet printable coupons from sites like Coupons.com, store websites, manufacturer’s websites, and social media sites such as Facebook; usually limited to two prints per computer.

*doubled = some stores will double the value of the coupon; my Dillons will double up to $1 meaning that a .40 coupon will be worth .80,  a .50 coupon will be worth $1, and a .75 coupon will be worth $1.

*MQ = manufacturer’s coupons from the Sunday paper inserts, magazines, direct mailings (also a good source of store coupons), package inserts and labels, booklets, and flyers. Pick up those little recipe booklets from store displays sometimes they have a coupon or two tucked inside and don’t forget to check out those flyers and ads in the doctor’s office; I’ve found several MQ in the waiting room!

*overage = when the amount of the coupon exceeds the cost of the product; some stores will not apply the overage, they will simple change the amount of the coupon value to match the cost of the product.

*SQ = store coupons from advertisements, savings booklets, and store websites. As of the writing of this post Walgreens, Target, and Dollar General still allow you to stack a store coupon with a manufacturer’s coupon. A little tip; make sure the number of items in your basket out number the pieces of paper that you hand the cashier. Sometimes it’s worth it to pick up an extra .50 item to save more in the end. This is especially important with Walgreens as their registers will bark if the papers out number the products.

*EQ = electronic coupons loaded onto your store loyalty card via the store’s website or e-mail newsletters.

Free Girl’s Night In – Couponing Adventure

It’s always nice to discover that once in a while something you said to or did with your children actually sunk in.

I had such a discovery today when I realized that L and her friend are planning a fun girl’s night in for FREE!

I have encouraged K and L both to use coupons when shopping and they usually do; in fact K said his supper last night was delicious chicken sausages that he picked up for a steal with his last couponing adventure.

So what are the wild and crazy girls doing for FREE on this girl’s night in?

Well; they have coupon codes for FREE Redbox Movie rentals that I found printed inside a box of Orville Redenbacher popcorn [I gave L the codes because our closest Redbox is about 70 miles away], and they have $1.00 off coupons printed from Coupons.com for Indiana Popcorn which they plan to take to Dollar Tree on the way to the Redbox to snag FREE popcorn to go with those FREE movies.

I’d say that’s a pretty good use of their couponing skills!

Have a fun night girls!

Picture Of The Week – Coupon Tree

Some of my most often downloaded stock photos have to do with couponing. I am glad to know that I’m not the only one trying to save a dollar or two on the ol’ groceries!

I created three new couponing stock photos over the last couple of days and they are online at KKHPhotos.com and awaiting review at the stock photo sites.

So for today’s picture of the week I thought I’d share the newest image to hit KKHPhotos.com… Grocery Coupons On A Tree.

They say that money doesnt’ grow on trees; I wonder if coupons can??

This and all the photos over at KKHPhotos.com are available as prints in a wide assortment of sizes, canvas gallery wraps, standout displays,  fotoflōts, photo greeting cards, and postage stamps. They are also available in a wide range of gift items; aluminum bookmarks, coasters, tempered glass cutting boards, keychains, magnets, mousepads, and much more! You can even do your own thing with my photos when you purchase a personal use or a web use download.
