The Grinch Who Stole the Christmas Candy
Its hard to say that a company who paid me to take candy off of the shelf at CVS this week is a Grinch, but if you are planning to buy holiday candy you may want to take a second look at the package. While at CVS I discovered that a package of Holiday Hershey Kisses are only 8.5 oz while the regular package is 12 oz. Both packages are on sale for $2 each before the buy $20 get $10 ECB deal. You may prefer the holiday packaging if you are planning a special project using Chirstmas colors, but if you are looking for the least expensive candy buy the normal packaging instead.
Due to our current economic state, more companies are reducing the contents of the packages without lowering the price. Some companies are redesigning their packaging while other packages are staying the same but are not as full as they previously were. Most reductions will be 10% or less to prevent most consumers from noticing the decrease in size. Lisa recently sent me this Newsweek article discussing decreases in the package contents.
The long term reduction in the amount is a form of inflation if the cost of the product stays the same. In the case of the holiday candy, I would say Hershey's is taking advantage of the sentimental consumer and possibly trying to make up for the additional costs associated with the promotional packaging. However, I wouldn't be too surprised if there is a reduction in the size of their regular packages in the near future.
Remember to stay alert for price and size changes when purchasing products. Even a seemingly small difference adds up over time.

Having Trouble Using Competitors' Coupons at Publix?
I often read or hear about others having difficulties using competitor coupons at Publix. This is unfortunate because some of the best deals come from being able to use a competitor's coupon on an item that is on sale at Publix.
I have found a great source to show your Publix manager if you are not able to use competitor coupons at your store. The Winter 2008 issue of Publix FamlyStyle Magazine on page 19 has an article titled 7 Small Ways to Save on Food.
The third way the article listed to save money is: "USE COUPONS. Score significant savings in your shopping cart each week. Christy Rooney, a mom from the Jacksonville, Florida, area, suggests using coupons for sale items, redeeming competitors' coupons (they're welcomed at all Publix stores) and watching for rebates on the products you buy."
If you are not a subscriber, copies of the FamilyStyle magazine are usually available at your local Publix. If you have difficulties using coupons at your Publix and the magazines are no longer available, you may wish to call Publix customer service and request a copy of their competitor coupon policy.
To subscribe to future issues of FamilyStyle magazine for FREE click here. Each edition of the magazine is mailed with several Publix coupons that are only available to subscribers.

Don't Get Burned Out Freeze It Instead!
Last week I listed homemade freezer meals as one of my 100 Favorite Ways To Save Money. Today I am sharing some ways that it can help save you money.
I prepare my make ahead meals differently than most once a month cookbooks suggest. I will prepare and cook a large recipe then freeze the leftovers into individual serving containers. Other people freeze the uncooked meals then thaw and cook it the day they plan to serve it. Also, instead of doing all of my cooking for the month in one day I will cook when the ingredients are on sale.
Freezing the meals in individual servings allows Tim to get a meal to take to work for lunch out of the freezer and heat it in the microwave there. When I have a variety of different meals prepared he has a choice in what he wants to take that day which cuts down on the potential boredom of leftovers from the night before. The "kits" that I make are very convenient for him to pick up out of the freezer in the garage when he leaves for work in the morning.
A Few Advantages to Preparing Meals in Advance:
For more frugal ideas and tips be sure to check out Frugal Friday at Biblical Womanhood.

A Few Advantages to Preparing Meals in Advance:
- Ability to choose recipes that have ingredients that are on sale or have on hand.
- Being able to fully take advantage of sales by stocking up on the great deals.
- Homemade meals are usually more nutritious than going out which will probably save on medical bills in the future.
- Less expensive than eating out.
- More efficient use of our time preparing meals allowing us to do other things.
- Saves gas by not going out to eat or having to run to the store at the last minute.
- Store bought frozen dinners often have less food and cost more than a similar homemade meal.
- The opportunity to have a cooking day with friends. I was surprised at how much more fun it is to cook with other people!
- Especially for a smaller family or lunches, preparing individual meals saves on electricity by not having to use the oven every day. This not only saves money from the electricity used on the stove, but also when trying to cool the house on a warm day.

100 of My Favorite Ways to Save Money!
Earlier this week I wrote my 100th post for this blog. In celebration, I thought that I would share 100 of my favorite ways to save money. Some of these are directly related to couponing while others are based on living frugally.
Some of these things I have discussed in my previous posts while the other items have inspired me to start a new series of posts. I had originally planned to have a brief description by each item until I realized that even a brief description would be overwhelming for a single post. I will leave you with my list for now. I hope that you will find it helpful and an encouragement to discover new ways to save money.
For even more frugal ideas join the Frugal Friday fun here.

New coupons and Inspiration
I wanted to update my readers by providing a few matchups for those who get the early edition of the Sunday paper. I used The Coupon Clipper's preview to do put together the early matchups. There are some great coupons in the paper this week so you will want to make sure that you get extra copies! It appears that some areas may be getting the Publix Winter Family Savings Books as an insert in the Sunday paper as well. There are several manufacturer's coupons in that book that can be used at Publix or other stores!

There is a new $5/$20 Walgreens coupon available here. Most Publix locations will accept these as competitor's coupons. The coupon is only valid November 14 and November 15. The $20 is after ALL other coupons and before taxes and other exclusions.

I also wanted to share that I'm enjoying Amy's series this week on becoming debt free. I thought that some of my readers may enjoy following along as well.

Kroger Loss Leaders Week of November 9
Prices based on the Metro Atlanta sales circular. Our sales week runs from Sunday-Saturday. To find the ad for your store click here. Manufacturer's coupons .50 and under will double. You can purchase one item that is on sale BOGO for half price. Items that are priced 10/$10 can be purchased for $1 each/pound (Mega Event excluded).
As the $5/10 Mega Event is continuing this week I am once again only listing the loss leaders for the week. My other posts for Kroger including the $5 off 10 sale matchups can be found here.

Holiday Meats
I'm not sure if we have hit the bottom of the prices for the holiday meats yet or not. Generally they are cheaper a week or two before Thanksgiving then go back up in price Thanksgiving week, unless you find them on Manager's Special. In the past prices have been lower than they are this week, but overall food costs are higher this year. Personally, I think I will wait until Saturday to see the ad for next week before I decide to buy the ham.

The Best of the Deals with Coupons
Ingles Double Coupon Policy is different than most stores in the Metro Atlanta Area. You can only have up to two of the same product in one transaction. In order to have your coupons double (up to .50 face value) you must spend $10 before coupons for every three coupons you want doubled. For coupons above .50 face value will not double; therefore, the limits do not apply.

Oven Roasted Grape Tomatoes
My friend Marissa served these delicious oven roasted tomatoes for lunch one day. When she told me how she prepared them, I couldn't believe how easy they were to make. With her permission, I am sharing this quick and easy side dish recipe since the two main ingredients are on sale at Publix this week.
Oven Roasted Grape Tomatoes
Two packages of tomatoes will make 6-8 side dish servings. The tomatoes will cook down considerably in the oven.
Ingredients:
Grape Tomatoes
Olive Oil
Salt
Directions:
Halve tomatoes lengthwise.
Place on cookie sheet with inside facing up.
Drizzle olive oil over tomatoes.
Heat oven to 200 degrees.
Place tomatoes in oven.
Cook for about two hours until most, but not all of the juices have evaporated.
Remove from oven.
Salt.
Serve and enjoy!
