Good morning and welcome to October!
I just want to start off by saying thank you, thank you. September was the biggest month EVER for Queen Bee Coupons with more than 315,000 page views! I remember when I started the blog three years ago on October 5 that I was excited to just get 30 page views a day. It has grown slowly and steadily every day – thanks to you telling a friend, who tells a friend, who tells a friend. Fast forward three years and I’m humbled and so excited to reach this major milestone and I promise to never take even one visit to my blog for granted! Thank you for sharing Queen Bee with others – I am so grateful!
I’ve received some ADORABLE Future Couponer photos so far. You can win some serious Amazon cash, so take a few minutes and photograph your future couponer! Learn more about the Future Couponer contest here.
Head over and enter to win a one-night stay at the Resort at the Mountain (near Mt. Hood, Oregon). It even comes with 18-holes of golf and a golf cart.
PLUS I’m also giving away a $50 Kohl’s gift card over here. It’s easy to enter!
COUPONS
A new month generally means NEW coupons to print! Head over and check out the latest coupons and I’ll post them as they are released. There are a LOT of new coupons over here, too many to print.
Nabisco always releases a high-value coupon the first day of the month on the Nabisco Facebook page. Keep an eye out for it (not sure when it goes live) and I’ll post when I find it.
How many papers did you end up getting yesterday? With four coupon inserts it was a BIG day. I really need to find some time to get caught up on clipping my coupons, I’m a bit behind.
FAVORITE DEALS
What kinds of deals can we expect in October? Watch for a post on this later today, scheduled for 9:30 a.m. I’ll share with you what deals I think we’ll see in October.
Anyone do Albertsons go on a DOUBLER run yet? You can get a FULL list of deals here – lots of freebies and deals under $1. Do you plan to do an Albertsons doubler trip this week? What do you plan to pick up?

RECIPES & MEAL PLANNING
What month is it? Crock-tober! The first slow cooker recipe of the month will be posted at 10:30 a.m. PST today – so check back then, it’s delicious. I plan to post a new recipe every TWO days, so I also have them scheduled for Wednesday, Friday and Sunday. All of them should publish at 10:30 a.m. PST!
Yesterday we had slow cooker turkey chili with pumpkin (divine!) and that recipe will be coming Sunday.

Congrats on all the page views Heather. I started following your blog more “religiously” over the past 4 months or so as I had previously been using krazycouponlady. I love the variety in your posts as well as the fact that you’re local PNW. Awesome job-keep it up!
P.S. The Nabisco coupon is up-$1 off Nutter Butter-my favorite. Thanks for the heads up this AM.
Also, I made an Albertson’s doubler run yesterday and made $$ on Puffs. There was a $0.75/1 Puffs coupon that came in Mead notebooks (along with some other Scotch tape coupons) with back-to-school sales-doubled 3 of them, used another, paid nothing and received $1 catalina. Check your notebooks Moms!
