This Giveaway is for a Kitchen Plus 2000! The Kitchen Plus 2000 is a special machine which can cut any kind of vegetables, like carrots, lettuce, cabbage, etc. It is also known as "The Super Salsa Maker." This machine contains heavy duty blades, which can cut ten to twenty times faster than by hand. You can use it to make your own salsa, sauces, salad, or anything you like to make!

I have a 'Kitchen Plus 2000' and I love it! I like to use it for chopping up almonds or nuts for my granola, and I have also used it for chopping up apricots for jam. I used it to chop vegetables here, it's so quick and easy! So much easier than chopping by hand!

You can use it to make your own salsa, sauces, salad, or anything you like to make!

The Kitchen Plus 2000 has a 4 Cup Capacity and retail value of this handy little machine is $23.99. The Kitchen Plus 2000 comes all the parts and attachments as seen here:

Notice something about your coupons?

I’m sure you did if you were printing coupons last week, hoping to get them doubled. A lot of printable coupons (especially the General Mills coupons) cannot be doubled! Well, this doubling thing has really made me take a closer look at my coupons.

Take these for instance: you have a .50/2 coupon and a .40/2 coupon. The .50/2 is more valuable, right? Not at a store that doubles coupons, like our good friends at Family Fresh Foods! The .50/2 coupon cannot be doubled, so we look to our 40 cents off coupon instead. The 40 cents off turns into 80 cents off! So the .40/2 coupon is more valuable in this instance.

Most of the coupons that CAN be doubled are coupons from the coupon inserts found in your Sunday newspaper. If you do not have a newspaper subscription yet, I highly recommend placing one today! Check out my awesome newspaper deal with the Standard Examiner, you'll love getting lots of coupons that can be doubled every week- delivered right to your doorstep!

This is what one reader of Savvy Shopping 101 said:

"I have been trying to be a couponer for years now. I watched the grocery guru, I tried pinching your pennies, I tried grocery smarts. I have even gone to multiple classes. For some reason it just didn't click. I am an educated person and I "think" I am rather smart, but couponing was a foreign language to me. I would clip coupons, buy papers etc etc etc, spend hours getting ready to go to the store and then leave saving little and buying a bunch of stuff I didn't need. Then I found your blog. I .... saved 50% off my bill at least. IT FINALLY MAKES SENSE. I love saving money I even found myself giving the cashier a high five. I was elated all day long and have told at least 20 people about my fabulous shopping trip. Thank you for making couponing something I can understand. You are AWESOME Heather, thanks for all you do to help ME save money." Amy

The $4 basket

I had a great time meeting some of you at Family Fresh Foods on Saturday! I took this basket of food to Family Fresh Foods and showed new couponers the possibilities when you use coupons consistently.

All of these items, 19 altogether, were purchased at Family Fresh Foods with coupons. 15 items were completely FREE! The Welch's grape juice and the Nature Valley Nut Clusters were $1 each. Altogether, this basket of food cost me $4!

On a side note, you may be wondering where the Febreze came from. This was purchased right before Christmas, on Dec. 22. The Family Fresh Foods ad came in the mail the day before on a Monday. They advertised a 'double coupon' day- no limit! That meant that $2 off coupons became $4 off! It was a Christmas present from Dave and Michelle at Family Fresh Foods. So, the Febreze was $4, and I had a $2 off coupon-FREE! That was another day that it paid off to have my coupons cut, organized and ready to go!

The doubles- no limit (!) day looked like this for me. 33 items for $12.37!

And now, I have an exciting announcement for Savvy Sister Shops. Someone is coming to shop with me at Family Fresh Foods this week....... can you guess who?


That's right- Melea from Freebies 2 Deals! In case you're new to the coupon world, her blog is HUGE here in Utah. She's also a regular guest on Good Things Utah and Studio 5. I'm honored that she wants to come and shop with me. I'm also really excited to meet her and show her around Family Fresh Foods. I know she's going to love doubling her coupons. We are both going to make videos for our blogs, so stay tuned!

I started this post with the $4 basket, because I will be giving Melea a similar basket to give away at her big coupon class. I hope the lucky winner enjoys this gift from Savvy Sister Shops!
