If you've ever thought about getting that second freezer (which many Super-Couponers find invaluable for stocking up on meats, frozen vegetables, and other frozen foods) start thinking about hitting Jewel-Osco for their annual Freezer Deal! Jewel-Osco confirmed on their Facebook wall that the freezers will be on sale Sunday!

In years past, the freezer has been a 5.3 cubic foot Igloo brand. This year, it will sell for $159, with $159 worth of FREE product coupons coming back to you when you buy the freezer. (frozen foods and other food items, as well as some non-food grocery items too.) Blogger Chris over at Deranged.me has done her homework and gotten a copy of the list of coupons included with this year's deal. The coupons expire on June 30th, 2012. To maximize your savings, hold onto them as long as possible, matching as many of them as you can to Buy One, Get One Free sales in the store -- then, you'll take two home free instead of one!

So... get ready to hit the store this weekend if you've been thinking about getting a chest freezer to hold your expanding frozen-food stockpile!

This is another Groupon deal that I'm always happy to see available again, because it's a great way to enjoy a movie night out AND save money!

Groupon is offering AMC Theaters Silver Experience admissions - 2 for $12 or 4 for $24! This one's scheduled to end on 2/5, but after the last Groupon deal I posted hit its limit within a few hours, I wanted to get this one up quickly for you!

This works out to just $6 each for admission at any AMC Theater nationwide. As these are Silver Experience tickets, you cannot use them for special engagements or to see a new release within 10-14 days of its release date. You can purchase ONE Groupon per person (either the 2-for-$12 or the 4-for-$24.) And, these silver tickets actually come in the mail within two weeks after purchasing the Groupon.

Go get your AMC Theaters Silver Experience admissions - 2 for $12 or 4 for $24!

I appeared on Chicago's CBS 5:00 News again this evening as part of their "Survive This Economy" series. These ongoing segments have followed one family, the Wrights, as they try to cut expenses in many areas of family life, including dining out, saving on utilities, and shopping. Last week I shared tips for saving at the supermarket, and during this week's segment, I opened up my closet (literally!) to talk clothing clearance tips.

I'm excited to announce a custom partnership between Super-Couponing and the Sunday-Edition Chicago Tribune, which is filled with news, sports, business, entertainment -- and of course, coupons!

Chicago Tribune home delivery service is a convenient way to have newspaper inserts and coupons delivered right to your home. I've been working with the Tribune to develop discount codes especially for coupon shoppers wishing to receive multiple copies of the Sunday Chicago Tribune to the same address, on the same invoice -- something many couponers have previously expressed difficulty with. You can order up to 4 additional Sunday papers with specially-tiered pricing to maximize your couponing power, and it's even cheaper than buying your papers at the dollar store. (Plus, they're delivered to your door!)

Call 1-800-311-8500 to subscribe with any of the following codes:

*Maximum 5 Sunday copies per address, within the Tribune's delivery area. Length of offer is 26 weeks of delivery.
