We’re nearing the end of the month, and there is a good chance that the great Kraft coupons that we’ve been enjoying will be gone, so print now! Remember, you can usually print two of each coupon per computer.
There are also some great $1.50 off coupons for Starbucks coffee (good at the grocery store, not the coffee shop) and Tazo tea. Their Zen Green Tea is my favorite, so I’m looking forward to a sale!

Giant’s Grand Reopening Sale at the Alexandria Commons Location on Duke Street is continuing into another week. There are some extra-special deals at this location, and you can check out the circular here to see if it is worth a special trip. Here are a few that jumped out at me:
Boneless Chicken Breast – $1.99/lb
Whole Boneless Pork Loin – $1.69/lb
Strawberries (1 lb) or Blueberries (pint) – 2 for $3
Jumbo Cantaloupe – $1.88
Edy’s Ice Cream – $1.99
Stouffer’s Entrees – $2
If you can get a copy of the circular, you can save even more money. It contains 5 Triple Coupons. These work like Giant’s usual Dollar Doublers, but they will triple manufacturer’s coupons up to $.99. You could likely get some great freebies with these!
There are also events, activities, and giveaways throughout the week. Check the circular to see if anything interests you!
Also in the “Last Call” category: There are only a few days left to save $5 on magazine subscriptions at Amazon. If you don’t already, I highly recommend subscribing to All You magazine. It is chock-full of coupons every month, and at $10/year, you will easily make your money back. It also has great recipes and articles on simplifying your life and saving money.
This is also a great time to start thinking about Father’s Day. You can get Car and Driver for $6.97, Popular Mechanics for $5, GQ for $6, or Sports Illustrated (56 issues) for $28.95.
You can see a complete list of the magazines with special offers here. The sale ends May 31, so buy today!

Know of other free (or cheap) things going on this weekend? Please share them in the comments.
Shoppers has something going on pretty much every week these days! This weekend (May 28-31) they are back to doubling coupons up to and including $1. So a $1 coupon = $2! There are no limits on the number that you can use.
Apparently the doubling is only going on at some locations (once again, not my local one!). You can check your store’s circular here to see if it is participating.
Moneywise Moms has some highlights, including some suggestions for how to get really cheap cereal!
Borders has some great coupons that you can use this weekend.
Go here for a bunch of in-store coupons, including $10 off a $35 or more hardcover, $10 off a DVD collection or computer book, and a FREE coffee. These are good May 28-31.
Go here for a coupon for 20% off the list price of one item in-store. This one is good through June 5.
You can find your nearest Borders here.

There are some great coupons that you don’t want to miss out on:
First, the Magruder’s circular in the Food section has a coupon for $10 off a $50 purchase and one for $5 off a $30 coupon. Harris Teeter accepts competitor’s coupons for money off the total order so these coupons should work there. I was successful in using the $10 off coupon there today. When paired with triple coupons, you should be able to leave the store with a bunch of groceries for next to nothing!
A couple of suggestions: first, take the coupon to the customer service desk and ask if they will accept it BEFORE going through the checkout line. This will save some headaches because the cashier will likely be confused. Second, you might want to print out the Harris Teeter coupon policy in case you have trouble.
After my trip to Harris Teeter, I used the $5 off $30 coupon at Magruder’s to stock up on boneless skinless chicken breast, which they’re selling for $1.88/lb. I picked up a few other things also, but if you wanted, you could buy 16 pounds of chicken breast for $30, use the $5 off coupon, and get the chicken for about $1.56/lb. That’s an excellent deal, if you have the freezer space!
The second reason that you need a Washington Post is that the Giant circular contains four Dollar Doubler coupons that you can use next week. These basically just take $4 off your total order at Giant. I’ll have the Giant post up on Friday with suggestions for ways to put these to good use!

Starting Monday, the Commonwealth of Virginia will be having a sales tax holiday on Hurricane and Emergency Preparedness Equipment. All of the items on this list will be exempt from the sales tax if you buy them next week.
The list includes some very useful items like batteries, bottled water, flashlights, and manual can openers. This would also be a great time to test your smoke detectors (more about that here) and check to see whether your fire extinguishers need to be replaced (more about that here).
IKEA is offering free breakfast Saturday May 23 through Monday May 25. Opens at 9:30AM and goes while supplies last. There are also some pretty good one-day sales going on this weekend—on Saturday you can get an armchair for $39 and on Sunday you can get curtains for $9.99 for a two-pack.
In case you missed the free yogurt in DC on Thursday, here’s another chance: Yogen Fruz is celebrating its grand opening at Reston Town Center on Saturday and is giving away a free small yogurt per person from noon to 1PM. They will also be giving out free T-shirts throughout the day.
