Go figure... more taxes.

Tax on Junk Food in IL

I know they've done a tax on junk foods in the UK and various other places, but never really thought we'd let it happen here in the U.S. And, like most of our tax laws, this one is just as confusing for retailers. Now, not only will prices increase because of the tax, but food prices will soar just so retailers can pay the accountants to figure out how and what to tax. Of course, no one considers what this will do to the businesses who are marketing these products.

(of course, there are plenty of us TN that would not mind the 6.25% tax rate on the "food/junk food"... lol... we pay 7.75%!)

wowzers - it's been a while... get ready for some info

Here we go folks:

Here is a link to a coupon: Fisher Price Trio

It is for 5.00 off of a Fisher Price Trio toy - kind of like a cross between legos and tinker toys. It will print 20x per computer. You have to register for the coupon. The annoying part is that it prints in the middle of the page. With some creative folding.

At Kmart this month they have a sale on these toys. Any trio at 9.99 or more, you get 5.00 off (automatic discount) at the store, plus you can use the 5.00 manufacturer coupon on top of it. Additionally, there is a coupon for 5.00/20.00 toy purchase - print it once, flip over and print again for 2 q's. The trio's range in price from 4.99 and up.

Here is the deal that I did: (you may need to add more fillers or get a slightly more expensive toy because ohio tax is less than the 9.25% we pay)

4.99 trio
9.99 trio
9.99 trio
12.99 trio
1.00 dog toy
-15.00 promo
25.71 after tax
-5.00/20 toy purchase
-20.00 - 4x5.00 mq
.71 + tax

They had a fairly decent selection of toys, and I think the most expensive one was about 29.99. You'd want to split up the orders to be able to use the 5.00/20.00 toy coupon multiple times.

If you don't want the Trio coupon (or don't want all 20), I'd love any extras - email me!

Also, check coupons.com for a buy 1 get 1 transformers toy coupon (great to use at Target). Keep an eye on coupons.com and smartsource.com as they'll be having lots of toy and game coupons posted and reset over the next couple of months. Any that you can print but won't use - I'd love to buy them off of ya!

This weekend there will be some great coupons for Chef Michael's dog food in the newspaper. They are already listed online at ebay, and I'd suggest ordering some NOW - or at least ordering them Sunday night/monday morning when the clipping services have them posted! These's coupons will be hot, and ebay prices will soar very quickly. (BIN is your friend) The deal you'd want to do is at Target.

The coupons are: buy 1 get 1 chef michael's can food, and 3.00/1 bag food.
The target coupons at: Organicgrocerydeals.com - look for the "expiring 9/26" section. There is a bogo can food and 1.50 off of bag food.

You can combine 1 TQ and 1 MQ. Here is what I am going to do: (price may vary slightly regionally)

4.49 dry food
1.78 can food
6.85 after TN 9.25% tax
-.89 bogo can MQ coupon
-3.00 mq dry food coupon
-.89 TQ bogo coupon
-1.50 TQ bogo coupon
.57 oop

Another deal at Target is kids toothbrushes/toothpaste. There is a 1.00/1 TQ for kids colgate toothpaste and toothbrushes. They are on TPC (temporary price cut) until at least 8/31 for 1.99. Additionally, there is a 1.00/1 toothpaste and a 1.00/1 toothbrush manufacturer coupon. (If you need it, email me and I'll send it to you).

There are tons of coupons for baby products for Target in the generator also - food, formula, diapers, wipes, sippy cups, etc... You can match up TQ with MQ's - so be sure to look for manufacturer coupons to go with your deals. If you need help, let me know.
