There are lots of great coupons in Costco’s latest coupon book, several for televisions and electronics and yet another good one for Halloween candy.  Of course, we got this just after we bought the box of assorted Skittles and such without the $4.00 off coupon.  There are 98 coupons in this latest Costco Coupon Book, with more than $1,000 in savings you can get at your local warehouse store, plus another $4,400 in savings for items on Costco.com

Food & Beverages:  It’s the holiday season, and Costco wants to make sure you get your fill of sweets I think. 

• M & M/Mars Variety Pack – This is a great buy because it’s another thing that you can buy for Halloween.  There are two different variety packs that you can get, each with 30 pieces each.  You can either get the box with 4 different Skittles flavors and 3 different Starburst flavors, or you can get the box with M&Ms (plain and peanut), Snickers, Skittles, Starburst, and 3 Musketeers. I like the box with more variety for Halloween, not to mention, it has Snickers bars – my all time favorite candy bar.  We mistakenly just bought the Skittles and Starburst box this weekend.  $4.00 off 30 full-sized candy items; 2 item limit.
• M&Ms -  These are not Halloween appropriate because it’s the big 56 ounce bags of Plain or Peanut M&Ms. My husband really has a thing for M&Ms, so I’ve got to admit that we do get this sometimes.  And no, we don’t eat it all at once!  You could get the big bag and then divide it into smaller bags, if you’re looking for a bit of portion control.  $2.00 off 56 oz bag; 2 item limit.
• Nestle Toll House Semi-Sweet Morsels -  Just in time for all of your holiday baking needs, you can get this enormous 72 ounce bag of chocolate chips.  This is the equivalent of 6 regular bags, so it’s perfect if you make a lot of cookies this time of year.  Although, even if you don’t use them all right away, chocolate chips will be fine hanging out in your pantry or fridge for quite some time.  Plus, chocolate chips aren’t just for cookies; you can use them for chocolate mousse, or to make a chocolate dipping sauce, or to make real hot chocolate.  I like chocolate chips for stuff like that because they melt so much more evenly than large pieces of chocolate.  $2.00 off 72 oz.
• Kellogg’s Frosted Mini-Wheats / Frosted Flakes -  If you live in a house where people eat either of these cereals, this is pretty much a no-brainer.  You get 2 very big bags (35 ounces for the mini-wheats, I don’t know about the Frosted Flakes though) of cereal for probably less than you could buy a little box in the grocery store when using this coupon.  We regularly get the Frosted Mini-Wheats from Costco and I’ve never had a problem with it getting stale on us, even when we don’t eat it every day.  $2.50 off; 2 item limit.
• Ling Ling Chicken Potstickers -  I know it is probably wrong, but I love these things!  They’re quick to prepare on nights when you don’t feel like making a a big meal and are a lot less greasy than the potstickers we get from the Asian restaurants around here.  I’m sure they’re not the healthiest thing I could pull from my freezer but they do taste good.  They come with little sauce packets in the bag, but we just usually eat them with plain soy sauce instead.  $2.50 off 67.2 oz; 2 item limit.
• Pepsi, Diet Pepsi, Caffeine-Free Diet Pepsi, Mountain Dew, or Brisk -  Okay, I’m going to have to fess up to something that everyone in my family teases me about: I am the soda nazi.  I don’t drink soda and I don’t like Dave to drink soda either.   I know, it’s crazy, but I can’t help it.  All I see are empty, wasted calories that are all sugar and the sodium in soda is just ridiculous.  However, if you want to drink soda, you might as well save some money too.  You can get either a 36 pack or a 24 pack, but this might vary by location, of your favorite Pepsi brand of soda.  Is Brisk a tea drink of some kind?  $2.00 off 36 pack, $1.50 off 24 pack; 2 item limit.

Household Items:  So much cleaning stuff you’d swear it was time for Spring cleaning again.  Of course, I guess this might be a hint from Costco to clean up your house before everyone comes to visit for the holidays.

• Cascade Complete Action Pacs -  I think these are such a good idea, like the JetDry, to have a handle little packet that you toss in the dishwasher so you’re always getting the right amount.  Plus, you get the added benefit of having a rinse agent in there too.  Gets rid of the tough stuff without the need for you to scrub your dishes, before you have the dishwasher wash your dishes.  I like these types of things mostly because you can see just how many more loads you can do if you’re running low.  With the liquids, most of the time you can’t see through the bottle so you’ve got no idea except for how heavy it feels when you try to lift it.  $3.00 off 85 count Cascade Complete Action Pacs, $2.50 off Cascade Action Pacs.
• Bounce Dryer Sheets -  Who doesn’t like to have soft, static free clothing? And you can use the Bounce sheets for keeping other things smelling fresh too, like your luggage or your linen closet.  But mostly, at this time of year, it’s all about avoiding the static cling.  No one wants their pants clinging to their legs or their skirt sticking to their thighs in an unattractive way.  Plus, you’re more apt to get that little shock when you’re putting your clothes on.  And that’s just no fun.  Avoid the embarrassment or the shocks by using Bounce in your dryer!  $1.50 off 250 sheets.
• OxiClean Versatile Stain Remover -  I just tried this recently and was truly amazed at how well it worked.  I figured it was just another one of those silly products that the guy that screams his way through the commercials sells.  But it does actually fulfill the claims.  I don’t use it every time I’m doing a load of whites in my laundry, though maybe I should.  But I have used it for tough stains on clothing, as well as other fun cleaning projects like my grout.  If you make it into a paste and leave it sit for a bit, it really will do wonders on cleaning up dingy grout.  $3.50 off 15 lbs.
• Vanity Fair Luncheon or Dinner Napkins -  These are great napkins, in either size.  They are thick and sturdy and won’t rub apart when someone actually needs to use it.  The luncheon size is nice for setting along side appetizers at parties.  It’s the perfect little size to be useful but not be a nuisance.  And what is really nice, is that they are pretty absorbent for that person that might be a little more prone to spillage than your other guests.  $2.00 off 600 luncheon napkins or 200 dinner napkins.
• First Alert Fire Safety Products -  This coupon is for such useful items as a carbon monoxide alarm, a smoke and fire alarm, or a fire extinguisher.  Everyone should have a couple of fire extinguishers in their house: one in the kitchen, one in the garage, and one on your second floor (if you have one).  It’s better to have them, than to wish you did when it is too late.  We also have a carbon monoxide alarm because my sister gave it to us when we bought our first house.  And of course, everyone knows that you should have a few smoke and fire alarms in your house; one by each bedroom is ideal.  Safety first and when you can save money on these things, it is even better.  $5.00 off; 3 item limit.
• Snapware MODs Food Storage -  We have some of the Snapware containers and just love them. I use them for cereal, nuts, flour, sugar, spices, just tons of things really.  They have a very tight seal, that closes with a snap (thus the name), so you know it’s good and closed.  I’ve never had one of these containers leak on me, which you can’t say with all of these little plastic containers.  I think with the set at Costco you get some smaller containers that would be ideal for taking things to school or work for lunch, as well as some larger containers.  I am guessing you get a good mix of sizes in the 32 pieces but it’s hard to tell from the picture in the coupon book.  $5.00 off 32 piece set.

Electronics:  Get a new television for watching your favorite football team, or maybe just so you can watch all of those DVDs you’ll get your kids for Christmas.  Either way, you can have a nice sharp HD quality picture and save some money too!

• HDTV Televisions - There are 4 coupons in this coupon book for televisions!  I guess there’s no excuse not to get a new one before the switch to digital in February, huh?  Each coupon is for a different brand too, so you can have your pick from a Panasonic, Toshiba, Vizio, or a Samsung.  Granted the Samsung, $40 off, is getting into small size at just 22″ and it isn’t full 1080 either.  All of the other ones say they are 1080p, though the Toshiba doesn’t give the resolution, but I’ll take their word for it.  The Toshiba coupon is for $200 off a 40″, or $300 off a 46″ both of which you can only buy online.  The Vizio coupon is for $80 off a 37″ with 3HDMI inputs.  And the Panasonic is a big one, at 50″.  With the coupon you can get $200 off the big plasma screen of your dreams; you can get it online and at some warehouse locations.

As usual, there are plenty of other great things to save on with this round of coupons.  I just can’t talk about them all, well, I mean, I could talk about them all but that might get to be an incredibly, ridiculously long post.
