I was planning on getting 5 of the 50 oz Tides for under $6.50 each. I wanted to get over $30 for the P&G deal. But when I got to the store, they were $7.54, and there was HEB yellow $2 off coupons. I did a little math quick and figured the larger 100 oz size for $11.97 was actually a better deal per ounce. I did a quick video explaining what I did.
Tonight I ran into HEB to test out the P&G $10 catalina deal. The cool thing is that they have HEB yellow coupons “M” that are $2 off Tide, so you don’t have to use your $2 coupons! However the Tide is more than I thought, it was $7.54, maybe it is lower at different HEB’s. But the larger 100 oz was only $11.97. I also wanted to see if it would “roll” which it does!
The deal is that when you purchase $30 in P&G products you get $10 back in the form of a catalina to sue on your next shopping trip.
Total Spent: $79.26
Total Saved: $75.60
This was my first transaction:
Transaction #1
Buy 3 Tide 100oz $11.97
Use 3 $2/1 Tide coupons (either from 10/30 P&G or Yellow HEB store coupons)
Total: $32.38
Get Back: $10 catalina
Price per ounce: $.074
I then went to do it again and see if it “rolled”.
I had a bunch of BOGO and other coupons that expired on 10/30 and 10/31 so I wanted to use them up.

This is the HEB Buddy toothbrush deal I was talking about, they have BOGO coupons in store on the HEB buddy toothbrushes if you are in the need of kids toothbrushes.
In tomorrow’s P&G there is going to be a $2 Tide coupon. You can choose to use this coupon in a few different ways, it is a high value coupon for Tide and I am choosing to use it on a larger Tide item. However, if you want to use it on the trial size items you can do that. This coupon will beep for the trial size items, here is why:
According to Tides Facebook page, the Tide single use packets are not distributed by P&G, they are “outsourced” to another company. That is why the coupon beeps, it does not recognize the manufacturer as P&G. Tide says it is up to the store to decide if they are accepting the coupon on the Tide single serve or not.
If you are planning on getting a lot of overage with the coupon, expect it to be a PIA (Pain in the A**) and probably not worth the hassle. There is also a limit of 4 per transaction.
There are many great deals this week on Tide and many price matching opportunities, I am really happy to see this high of a value coupon!
**Extended to November 2nd or until it sells out! **
The Zaycon chicken event is OPEN for Houston! It is also going on in MANY parts of the country!
The Delivery date:
The Woodlands: Nov. 8th. from Noon to 1:00pm.
Katy Area: Nov. 8th. from 3:30 to 4:30pm.
I was introduced to Zaycon Foods earlier in the year, but I did not have a chance to try it until last month. Zaycon Foods combines the buying power of many families together, enabling them to negotiate huge savings on food purchases for your family. They bring products direct from the farm / processor, so it is super fresh!
They deliver all over the country, you can take a look HERE to see what is available in your area. I know that they are planning an event in Houston probably the second week of September.
This is what to do:
These events will have a pick up location, as the product is fresh and not frozen so it is not shipped.
The chicken comes in a 40 pound box. It has 4 – 10 pound bags inside. This is what I did with my chicken order.
Buying in bulk is one of the ways that I save a lot of money on food. You do not have to have a large chest freezer to store this much chicken. Also, consider splitting an order with a friend or neighbor. The chicken is 100% natural chicken with no added hormones, additives or artificial ingredients, and will be priced around $1.49 a pound!!!
The Delivery date:
The Woodlands: Nov. 8th. from Noon to 1:00pm.
Katy Area: Nov. 8th… from 3:30 to 4:30pm.
**Read the comments HERE to find someone to spilt with!
Here is my video on how I store my chicken:
