My mom works for Weight Watchers and sometimes she gets coupons for new dieting food and products that companies would like for her to push onto people in the Weight Watchers program. Of course, Weight Watchers has their own line of food and partnerships with companies so they don’t want their employees to use the unsolicited coupons. When my mom got ten coupons for free ice cream novelties from a new company called No Pudge, she split them up and gave them to me and Amanda.

I normally order my groceries from Peapod but they’re a little late to the party when it comes to new products and I’ve nver been able to get No Pudge there. Yesterday I had a few things I needed to pick up at Jewel so I took my No Pudge coupons along just in case Jewel carried their line. Jewel not only carried their line, but they were having a sale. Buy one get one free. I didn’t just get 5 No Pudge products free.. I got double that! And they aren’t cheap. .. at about $4.99/box and along with a few other coupons I had and the Jewel Preferred Card, I saved over $50 on groceries yesterday.

So, tease me about clipping and saving coupons if you’d like, but that’s a lot of dough. Call me a grandma, but I’ll be the grandma with a freezer full of free ice cream all summer long! Don’t forget, I still have all those coupons for free Haagen-Dazs to use yet! Now which one of you kiddies wants a treat?
