Swag Bucks Fun During NFL Playoff!

The NFL Playoffs start Saturday, and for football fans the most exciting time of the year has finally come. If you aren't a football fan, I think Swagbucks has a way to make things interesting for you...

Each Friday of the NFL Playoffs Swag Bucks is posting predictive codes for each matchup; whichever code you redeem, that's the team you think will win, and you can only redeem one code per matchup. Vote on all of a week's matchups and you'll earn yourself a cool 8 Swag Bucks.

Hop over to the Swag Bucks Blog to see how the values work out.  GO PATRIOTS!!!!!

Of course there's more. If you (individually) pick EVERY matchup of the playoffs correctly, you'll earn a 100 Swag Bucks bonus, which will be applied the Friday after the Super Bowl.

Finally, if the Swag Nation collectively gets the Super Bowl winner right, they're going to release a 20 Swag Buck code the next day.

NOW are you excited for some football?

You want to play but haven't signed up with Swag Bucks yet?  No problem!  Head over to Swag Bucks  and sign up today and they'll start you off with 30 FREE Swag Bucks!

Possibly FREE Kraft Macaroni & Cheese @ Shaw's!

Shaw's has Kraft Macaroni & Cheese on sale this week for $1.00.  Thanks to a Money Saving Maine-iac, Jen, for reminding me about Kraft's Noodlette Game.  Head over to play and you can win coupons good towards Kraft Macaroni & Cheese products.  One of these coupons is for $ .55/1 Kraft Macaroni & Cheese Dinner.  Here's how you can pick up a box for FREE:

Thursday's Tip

This week and next I wanted to share tips on understanding coupon bar codes.  This week I wanted to share this article that I found on How Stuff Works.  They've done a fantastic job of explaining how coupons match up with products and also what makes the computer beep and reject coupons at the stores.

What is a Coupon Code?

The coupon code is interesting (number system character 5). If you have ever wondered how the scanner can read a coupon and reject it if you haven't bought the product, here's your explanation. Here is the UPC code from a box of Post Honey Nut Shredded Wheat:


Here is the coupon for the same product:

You can see that the coupon's bar code starts with a 5 to indicate that it is a coupon. The 43000 is Post's manufacturer ID. The next three digits (186) are called the family code. The next two digits (70) are a value code. The final digit is the normal check digit.

The family code and value code are set up arbitrarily by the UPC coordinator for the manufacturer. It must be done that way because a coupon will often be usable for a whole family of products. For example, a coupon might be good for four different kinds of soap made by the same manufacturer. In the same way, the value code represents the value of the coupon arbitrarily. The manufacturer sends the retailer the data that tells the retailer's computer exactly which products fit the family code, and exactly how much to take off. When the coupon is scanned, the POS computer:

  1. Decodes the family code
  2. Checks to make sure the customer purchased an item from the family
  3. Decodes the value code
  4. Sends the discount back to the cash register
The next time you go to the store, pick up a product -- any product. Look at its UPC code: Now you know what it means!

Thank you How Stuff Works!

A Stop @ Our Local Shurfine Store

I thought the sales at our local Shurfine store were really good this week.  Jennie-O 1.25 lb. pkgs. of ground turkey $1.98?  I really want to cut back on the amount of red meat I'll be eating this year so I stocked up.  And of course eating seasonal fruit is one way to keep to your shopping budget. 

10 Packages of Jenny-O Ground Turkey @ $1.98 ea. = $19.80
1 10 lb. Bag of Maine white potatoes $1.98
4 Lemons @ $ .25 ea. = $1.00
Organic Olive Oil 17 oz. $4.99
2 Hood 16 oz. Half 'n Half @ $1.19 ea. = $2.38
5 lb. bag of Ruby Red Grapefruit $3.99
4 lb. bag of Navel Oranges $2.99
Total before coupons = $37.13

I received a $ .05 bag credit and I used the $1.00/2 Hood coupon in the 12/5 SS.  Total after coupons $36.13.  Still well under the $50 weekly budget!

What deals did you pick up @ your local Shurfine store this week?
