I mentioned the California Pizza Kitchen coupon, and figured you would find the cereal coupons when you clicked on the site. Then I realized not everyone will click for pizza, and I don't want you to miss these other great deals.

Click here for coupons on Kelloggs cereal, Kashi, Fresh Express and more. Print two while they are available, use your back button, they change frequently. And get more from the Kelloggs website.

Remember to use coupons when the items are on sale, or better still, use two when they are BOGO (buy-one-get-one-free.) If you are a strategic shopper, you won't pay over $2 for a box of cereal, EVER! Here's a deal coming from Target, buy 5 Special K items, get a $5 Target gift card, using 5 of these coupons the cereal will be $.39 per box. Read all about it here at Money Saving Mom.

Strawberry season was fun with the great sales a few weeks ago, wasn't it? We can save so much with coupons and BOGOs, but not with fruit. Have you noticed how small the $3 blueberry containers are lately?

There's some good news for fruit lovers this week on the coupon front. Super Target has a printable coupon for $1 off bulk apples, and apples are on sale there this week for .99/lb. I bought 2 2-pound bags of red and green apples that came to $1 a bag. Deal Seeking Mom suggests buying 1 pound bags and getting them free.

Deal Seeking Mom had some other Target coupon combos on her website, adding up to lots of savings there this week. To have a look, click here.

Michelle Obama is making headlines, or should we say bloglines, about her choice of shoes.

This time stylelist.com has "outed" the First Lady on Sneakergate. The Web site says Obama was wearing a pair of $540 sneakers by Lanvin when she volunteered to fill bags with non-perishable food at the Capitol Area Food Bank for Feeding America.

So here's the controversy: Should the First Lady wear such pricey footwear in this case? Or should the press and the bloggers give her a rest already?

Weigh in. We want to know what you think.

Do you remember the first time you went to California Pizza Kitchen...when they first opened down here? I went in alone, sat at the counter and asked the chef, "What's that one?" every time he delivered a new order. I still go there, sit at the counter, but now I order half a salad instead of a pizza. Like Emily in The Devil Wears Prada, "I don't do carbs." (Right!)

If you 'do' carbs, you'll be happy to know there's a printable coupon for $2 off Califonia Pizza Kitchen pizzas from your grocer. Click here for coupon. Print two while they are available, they change frequently.

Double coupons at Kmart, starts Sunday May 3rd thru the 9th. The brochure in Sunday's paper says up to .75, but we've gotten word that's a misprint. Calls to Kmart do not get answers, it seems the Kmart employees are the last to know about these promotions.

Shoppers, please post in the comments during the week as you discover which locations are doubling. Last time I didn't hear about any that weren't, did you?

Okay strategic shoppers...tell us what coupons will be good to use this week at Kmart. Here are some suggested savings scenarios from HotCouponWorld. Please add yours in the comments section below.

Crate & Barrel has some affordable ideas for Mother's Day, especially if your mom lives in another state like mine.

This Flora teapot is only $6.95 and morning tea mugs $4.95, for example. My mother's a big fan of tea and everytime I go home, I give up my Starbucks for a cup of tea in my mom's kitchen. Nothing makes you feel more like you're home.

These days many of us don't want to buy anything that will look dated or too trendy, but when the price is right it is far less of a gamble.

I just love the Petra Peeptoe Cut-Out Wedge in patent leather. Check out the stylish cut-out wrapped wedge heel. It has a ridged leather sole and 3 1/4-inch heel.

The original price was $129. Most folks see the $39.99 on the Website, but if you enter the code FRIENDS at checkout, you can get them for only $27.99. To order, Click here.

Better hurry at this price!

I'm getting anxious because a lot of my coupons are expiring on 4/30. So I went shopping! Have I truly lost it?

The grandkids love Crustables, the frozen PB&J sandwiches, usually $2.79 a box, on sale at Publix for $2, the .55 coupon expires 4/30. Now, I know, I'm nuts to pay even $1.50 for 4 PB&Js, but for some reason they like them better than the ones we make. Go figure!

Thanks to Andrea's reminder, I bought 4 of the StarKist SeaSations, frozen fish entrees, which are BOGO thru Wednesday, and with 4 $3 off coupons, FREE! Has anyone tried them...are they edible? There were 4 flavors, is one better than the others?

Fresh Express Salad Mixes are on sale for $2.50, and there's a $1 off coupon in the yellow Publix flyer at the front of the store.

My favorite Ocean Spray Cranberry 100% Juice, is BOGO use two $1 coupons. I know we've had reports of folks having trouble with this coupon. Sorry. I used it tonight again. I find if you just buy a few they will take it. The day I tried to buy 8 bottles at one time, they wouldn't.

So, in a nutshell, I got $66 worth of groceries for $12. When I checked out, the sweet cashier said, "You are the Coupon Queen of the night." If she only knew!

Once again I learned the importance of saving the newspaper and mailer coupons from Bed, Bath & Beyond.

This weekend my husband, Carter, and I went to BBB in Delray Beach with a fistfull of coupons. We bought two bathroom rugs and a new shower head and saved $29!

What is great about the folks at BBB is the following:

The salesclerk will figure out which of your coupons -- 20 percent off, $10 off or $5 off -- gives you the best deal.

They will accept out-of-date coupons.

And, if you buy more stuff than coupons, you can bring the sales recipet and the coupon back and you will get the discount.

At left, is my new showerhead a BBB exclusive -- Waterpik Aqua Fall Combo Shower Head.

Ever since we wrote about Blue Bell Ice Cream in the Sun Sentinel, I've been wanting to try it. Now that I'm couponing, it's hard to pay $5.98 for a half gallon of ice cream when I can get sales and BOGOs on other brands.

So I have avoided buying it, until tonight. I was getting other things in Albertsons, walked by the ice cream freezer, which of course they put right near the check-out line, and lo and behold, a Blue Bell sale! Sale lasts thru Tuesday, April 28th.

No coupons, but it was 2 half gallons for $7, enough savings to get me to cheat again on the old diet. Was it worth it? I have to say yes, the ice cream is very creamy and the Pralines were sooooo crunchy. Mmmmm...I might have to try the Cookies and Cream next. Super Saver Kathy

This is a good week to go to Publix with your coupon stash. Remember, strategic shoppers, you can use two coupons with buy-one-get-one-free items.

Maybe it's just because some of my favorite items are on the BOGO list. Always the mother, I told my grown daughter I would help her with groceries if she finished school, so I am buying for a family of 6. (The good news, she finished Friday, now maybe a job is in her future.)

The kids love Post Honey Bunches of Oats, Pop-tarts, Teddy Grahams, Cheez-its and Ocean Spray Cranberry Juice printable coupon, new exp date 5/22), which are all BOGO this week.

There are not so many coupons in Smart Source and Red Plum for these items though, let us know if you find printables!! See you at Publix.

And, according to an email I got from the company, you can get an extra 20 percent off if you add the code 026970183. One caveat: I wasn't buying and I couldn't check through the site without making a purchase. Try it and let me know if it works.

I fell in love with this sexy sleevless dress with zip. It was $169 and is $126.75 with the first discount of 25 percent. It comes in Espresso or Safari Tan in sizes 4 to 20. It's fully lined in a mixed fabric of polyester/cotton/metallic.

Thanks to Andrea for this tip. Kmart will be doubling coupons, up to $2, at some stores this week.

I'm leaving for my niece's wedding in Ohio in the morning, I should be packing and getting some sleep, but I couldn't let this date get by without sharing with you.

Double coupons are the biggest news in the couponing community, and it's a rare occasion. I don't have time to follow up, because I have an early morning flight, so you will have to do your homework, to see if your store, or which stores, are participating.

I told my daughter if she went back to school, I'd help her with groceries, hence my coupon-mania. With two toddlers, the expensive diapers are breaking me!!!

That wonderful Huggies $5 coupon / Walgreens Reward deal was huge, but sadly it's over. When there are no deals out there, I get them at Costco, where they cost 23 cents each. Stopped in today to stock up, and the nice cashier told me about the Costco $9 diaper coupon in the Costco savings book. You had to buy both Huggies diapers and wipes to get $9 off the total purchase.

1000 wipes, $23.99 and 176 diapers, $40.49. Minus the $9. Okay folks, this is where you should join in and tell us where to get a better deal. Anyone?

In case you haven't noticed, I'm the grocery coupon freak of the Shop-O-Matic bloggers. Last week I spent $50 at Publix and saved $77. I know some of you are even better, one of our readers said her friend got $112 worth of groceries for a few dollars. We need to use Shop-O-Matic to share our savings ideas.

We found some printable coupons to share with you. Click here for $1 off Colgate Total and $1.50 off Huggies, and more. The first time you use this coupon site, you have to download a coupon printer. It's best to just select one coupon, go to print it, and you will be walked through downloading the printer. You may have to restart your computer after the download to get the printer to work.

A strategic shopper does not use the coupon on a retail item. There's more to it than that, wait until there is a BOGO (buy-one-get-one-free) use two coupons and get the toothpaste for free. CVS has a BOGO on Colgate Total this week, not exactly this one though. We'll keep looking.

Now that I have embraced couponing, I am considering switching to BJ's. BJ's accepts all manufacturer's coupons, Costco does not. With this free 60-day shopping pass, you can be sure I'm going to give it a try! Pass must be activated by July 6, 2009. Click here to print pass.

Let's get a discussion going: BJ's, Sam's or Costco? Discuss the pros and cons, we'd love to hear what you think? Where are the best deals? Are they worth the membership fee?

I've been resisting the dominatrix-style sandals.

But these Nine West "Jessica" sandals caught my eye. They're marked down 25 percent to $49 and if I buy another pair, I get the whole purchase 20 percent off.

Is it time for some sexy sandals? Is it always? -- Marcia "Bargain Hunter" Pounds

We haven't posted a shopping video in a long time, but I know we all need a good chuckle during these grim times.

Check out Lala, a 14-year-old King penguin who was rescued from a fisherman's line 10 years ago in Japan. When she was healed, she refused to leave.

Watch her go fish shopping with her penguin backpack. It's a hoot.

We may not have extra money to buy a lot of personal things these days, but there also seems to be enough left in the budget to buy a plant or two. They make us feel good without costing a lot.

This weekend I went to Lowe's in Boynton Beach to buy a few plants and was horrified at what I saw -- a prominent display right in front of the garden center promoting vegetable gardening. And, yes, and they are also still selling impatiens.

Not a bad promotion, if you are selling plants in North Carolina or New Jersey, where the vegetable growing season is just beginning and impatiens flourish now. But we plant our veggies and impatiens in October/November because the heat kills them by April.

This is why smart shoppers have to be careful about shopping at national chains for garden supplies. If you are new to South Florida or don't know what you are doing in the garden, go to a nursery where the folks are trained in Florida gardening. Otherwise, you waste your money.

The problem with the national stores is they have central buying offices, which do not take regional differences into account. What can you do? When you see this kind of thing, complain to the local store and the national headquarters.

I recently took a picture of blogging buddy 'Bargain Hunter Marcia' for her Facebook and Twitter accounts. We found a spot with good light so I said let's just keep shooting until we get a good one.

Well, her camera was loaded with precious pictures of her trip to Europe with her son, as well as other sentimental journeys. She had to find some to delete so we could keep shooting.

Here it is Marcia! A 1GB card, at Walgreens, of all places, for $10, but get $5 in Register Rewards, like cash at Walgreens, making the card $5. Offer good all week, through April 18th.

Only one to a customer, but of course, you can just stop at the next Walgreens and buy another one. Don't try to roll your Register Rewards on a second card, you won't get the rewards if you pay with rewards...there's a lot to learn in Walgreens 101.

Strategic shoppers are going to have a big week in Walgreens this week. If you are into using your manufacturer's coupons when things are on sale, you can save big.

There are so many websites that help us strategic shop, it's almost mindless these days. No more fumbling around with little clippings. Just print your sale list (one for each retail store) from your favorite strategic shipping website and clip the coupons from your files, which should be carefully put away by publication date. I use couponmom.com for my lists, but I also scope out others for saving scenarios.

I made a quick stop yesterday on my way home from dinner at Mom's. Not a big shopping spree, just stocked up on a few buy-one-get-one free Lysol cleaning products. Combined with coupons, they were soooo cheap!

Check out the Walgreens deals on MoneySavingMom. com.

I often find accessories I like at Coldwater Creek, especially when they are on sale and I have a coupon! The last time I shopped there I got $72 worth of 'jewelery' for $18.

This one requires a bigger expenditure. Get $25 off $100. Good until 5/3/09. You can print the coupon for in store shopping, or online use coupon code WKH3251.

I was chatting with friends yesterday evening about traveling. Oh, how I love to travel. I have wonderful memories of trips with my son and friends to Spain, France, Italy and England.

If you're planning a trip this spring or summer, one necessity for the suitcase is a basic travel dress. This is the dress that you can roll up and it doesn't wrinkle. It looks good for the leisurely walk around town in an afternoon as well as for dinner in the evening, dressed up with a scarf or jewelry.

TravelSmith is a great source for such clothing and it's travel dress is marked down from regular $79 to $69. Color choices include black, garnet, poppy red, sage, french roast (brown) and midnight navy. Hey, go crazy, and buy two. And send me a postcard. -- Marcia "Bargain Hunter" Pounds

I have been looking for a handbag in this color that wasn't over-the-top expensive. What do you guys think of this one? Dare I do it?

It's an oval handle tote from Ann Taylor in chick neon made out of shiny patent. And there's a pocket for your cell. Not so brave? It also comes in cyclamen, black and silver metallic. It was $89 for $49.99.

One of my fave tipsters, ShopItToMe.com, says you can get 20 percent more off with this code 104023207 at checkout. These should go fast. Love it? Click here.

Those of you who commented on our blog that it was terrible to do a Chia pet with the head of President Obama, rejoice!

Walgreens has felt your pain and is pulling the pet from its stores, according to the Chicago Sun-Times. The newspaper says this leaves about 200,000 of the pottery plant kits in a West Side Chicago warehouse.

Weigh in again, folks. Was this justified or over reacting?

The $5 printable Honey Baked Ham coupon we ran a few days ago has been a huge hit on the blog this week.

Now, there's an even better deal. The new coupon is $7 off!

Click here for coupon.

Added Friday: Sorry folks, I read the fine print about not good in Kansas City stores, but my tired eyes couldn't even see the fine fine print listing the states AZ, KY, MD, MN, OH, PA, and VA. I just spoke to the FL Honeybaked folks, instead of a ham coupon, they lowered the price from $6.99/lb to $5.99 for the holiday. Here's a coupon good in Florida. Print this one good in Florida for a free pie or side dish.

It figures. Just as my son gets ready to graduate from college in New York, Southwest Airlines announced $99 fares from Fort Lauderdale into LaGuardia Airport.

Southwest begins flying into LaGuardia on June 28, but book now if you're planning a trip this summer. Southwest fares go fast.

Southwest already flew into the airport on Long Island, but that is just a hassle if you're going into the city. LaGuardia is the preferred airport for my trips to Manhattan.

The airline, known for its service, will be taking on JetBlue Airways, which is usually the airline I take to the Big Apple, and the Miramar-based Spirit Airlines. Competition is always good for consumers. Let the flying begin! -- Marcia "Bargain Hunter" Pounds

You can't say stores aren't trying to entice us to buy.

Macy's is offering a $10 coupon if you spend $25 on regular, sale or even clearance merchandise. That can add up to great savings for savvy shoppers.

Of course, you have to read the fine print for the exceptions -- such as cosmetics, fragrances, watches, Ralph Lauren, Calvin Klein. All the usual suspects....You recognize them if you have used these kind of coupons before.

Better hurry. It's only valid today or tomorrow until 1 p.m. Click here for coupon.

Thanks to my friend Don for telling us he buys an individual pass to Florida's State Parks every year. Individual Entrance passes are $43.40 each, and Family Entrance oasses are $85.80 each. He just bought one April 1st at John U. Lloyd and it is good through all of April next year. So if you buy now, you are getting almost 13 months for the price of 12. You can call the state at 352-628-1002 to confirm.

They are good at more than 100 state parks. If you like biking or roller blading, and do it often, this can be a great deal. Website was down when I wrote this, hopefully will come back up. Click here for more info.

Our everyday wine glasses were looking pretty shabby because of the residue collected from the old dishwasher. We had been fighting it, but it was time to buy new.

The inspiration came in the mail with the new Crate & Barrel "Best Buys" catalog. Carter went to Crate & Barrel in Boca Town Center and bought six of the Elite burgundy glasses each just in time for my cousin, Barry, to come for dinner last weekend. They are made in Slovakia and look like they cost more than $5.99 a glass.

They worked beautifully, highlighting the nose of the French red wine (2003 Chateau de Bordeaux) that he brought. But, unfortunately, when Barry was helping me bring the dishes to the kitchen he knocked one of the glasses to the tile floor. The shattered glass flew everywhere. No problem. it was only $5.99 a glass, not $50 a glass.

One other thought: Carter learned a trick for removing price tags from the salesman. Turn the glass upsidedown, squirt the label thoroughly with glass cleaner and allow to sit 30 minutes. The labels will slip off with a touch of your finger and leave no glue residue.

P.S. If you spend $250 or more through May 31 at Crate & Barrel, you can get 15 percent off your next shopping trip. Click for details.

Hey there, strategic shoppers! You'll be happy to know there's a P&G brand SAVER in Sunday's coupon stash, so there will be three inserts this weekend.

(Added Sunday: There was an extra Smart Source in my paper this morning that I wasn't told about in advance. So there were 4 inserts in the paper, Sunday April 5th. Great news for our readers.)

From now on....check Shop-O-Matic on Fridays to see which coupons will be in Sunday's paper. By the way, there won't be any coupons next weekend, so don't look for our list next week. And let me know if this will be useful to you, please. It took lots of my precious time, so you'd better let me know it's worthwhile.

I'd hog the whole Shop-O-Matic space listing them out front, there are a lot this week, so click on the links to see the lists. The biggest news in Smart Source is the repeat performance of the $5 off Science Diet, for all you dog lovers. Then there's the old favorites: Pampers, Olay, Gillette. Which coupons do you look forward to?

Click here for Smart Source. Here for Red Plum, and here for P&G.

Remember that a strategic shopper waits to use a coupon with a sale or BOGO (buy-one-get-one) offer, when you can use two. Ask a neighbor for their inserts, or get two Sunday papers, so you will be ready for the deals!

OK, this isn't a how-to cocktail party primer for those who don't know a mojito from a martini, but it can help break the ice.

The questions in this game from theboxgirls.com are fun such as: Who should make the first move? Do you have any frenemies? Would you intentionally let a date beat you in sports or games?

It comes in a gift box (at left) with a snug top and 52 glossy cards. Playful, original illustrations with clever, engaging and entertaining questions. The price is $19.95, but Shop-o-Matic fans can get a 10 percent discount if they order from the Website and add the code SUN10in the coupon code box in the bottom left of the shopping cart page. The discount is good through May 1.Click here to order.

I'm a bad, bad shopper.

I saw the Marley & Me DVD, released Tuesday, at Publix last night and I just added it to my groceries. No comparison shopping.

My fellow shopping blogger Kathy Haines and I were extras in the movie, you see, so it is our first chance to pick out the "background artists." I was anxious also to see the deleted scenes and gag reel. The gag reel is the best, especially a hilarious comment by actress Kathleen Turner, who played the dog trainer in the movie.

So if you're Marley fan (and you should be. After all, the writer of the book John Grogan once was the Sun Sentinel's Palm Beach County columnist), where do you buy the DVD?

Target is the winner so far, with a price of $16.99 for the single disc version. I paid $19.99 at Publix, silly me. Target also has a 2-disc "Bad Dog" version for $22.99 and a Blu-Ray disc package for $26.99.

Wal-Mart prices has an exclusive: the single disc version with a photo book for $19.96, if you're really a Marley fan or you just want photos of Owen Wilson or Jennifer Aniston.

For couch potatoes, there's Amazon.com, which offers the single disc for $16.99 with free shipping.

Incidentally, I'm typing this at the very desk I sit in during the Sun Sentinel newsroom scene. Unfortunately, Owen is no longer sitting next to me. -- Marcia "Bargain Hunter" Pounds
