The tragic mystery at the heart of their family has finally surfaced . . .

I don't know if you all have ever used redbox or not, but we practically live off it during the evenings/weekends when the kiddos go to sleep here!

Right now groupon is offering 3 redbox codes for $1, which is the price of ONE nightly rental.

To get this deal:

1. Sign up for groupon

There is a limit of one per customer and they don't expire until March 10, 2011. I'm pretty sure ALL of us will rent 3 movies between now and then.

Don't want it for yourself? This would make the perfect gift for a friend or family member that enjoys watching movies as well!

Cheap Paint

This afternoon my husband and I decided to paint our son's room.  We already painted one kiddos room and had to do the other one.  While I was rolling on the paint I thought about the bucket we had gotten for $5. 

At Home Depot they had what is called "opps paint" you can get great deals on this paint since it was made the wrong shade, left in the store after it was order, etc.  It ends up being $5 each.  I have been in multiple times and seen that they have a pretty decent selection. That's exactly where we got the paint for his room!

I just wanted to pass this along for those that did not know about it!

PS Don't forget that Home depot offers a 10% military discount every day!

Groupon Online deal

For those of you who haven't heard of Groupon it is an online website that offers one item at a deep discount each day.  Usually at least 50% off of the retail price.  Today in Hampton Roads they are offering a 16 x 20 canvas wrapped picture for $45.  This is a 126.95 value!  You send them your picture and it will come to your door for this price! I plan to get one of my pictures from vacation wrapped and I'm really excited about it!

I'm not sure if it is still going on or not, but the day before thanksgiving when I bought two I got a catalina for $1 future purchase. I used that today and it doubled! I'm working on how to figure out which items give catalinas and hope to know in the near future!

Actually, it is good whenever, there have been many times when I thought "a camera that won't break in the water sure would be nice right now"!

Happy Shopping

My Walgreens Trip

Yesterday evening I made a trip to Walgreens. I was really running low on the dawn dish soap and they had the 10.3 oz on sale with the in ad coupon for .99 a piece.  I used to purchase whatever cheapest stroe brand I coule find prior to using coupons and realized that even without a sale, dawn ends up being the cheapest for me because it stretches further...store brand was NOT the way to go.  So anyway, you know the dawn commercials where they are trying to stretch a drop of soap? That was me cleaning my dishes the day after Thanksgiving!

I had plenty of register rewards left over and I found that I had a coupon as well for .25 off.  I did two transactions...
Transaction 1:
3 Dawn dish soaps
1 216 huggies wipe refill container

Total Before coupons: 11.96
in ad coupon took of $3
                              ______________
                                 8.96
                             -.25 coupon from sunday previous sunday insert
                             _________________
                                  8.71
I then used my $5 and 3.50 RR from Thanksgiving day sales and spent .21 plus tax! (I believe it ended up being .62)

Transaction 2:
3 dawn dish soaps @ 1.99  = 5.97
Hersheys chocolate bar     =    .89
-3 coupon                             3.-
 -.40 in ad coupon             ______
                                             3.46
- 3 RR
Total Paid .46 plus tax

I would also like to include that if you don't have any register rewards, these same dawns are on sale this week at cvs for .88 with your care card!

Right now the sunglass hut is doing 30% off of already reduced merchandise if you go here and type in the coupon code CM30 at checkout you can get a pair of the electric technician regularly priced at 85 for just 27.97 (and they are doing free holiday shipping right now too!) Today ebates is doing 12% cash back on items from the sunglass hut! If you are planning to get this deal and don't have ebates, now is a good time to sign up! You will get $5 after you make your first qualifying purchase (sunglasses 24.82 if you already have an account and 19.82 if you sign up today)

http://www.walmart.com/  is doing cyber week instead of cyber monday and they have a whole bunch of stuff so head over there to check them out (ebates gives back 2% with walmart)

I just noticed that the entertainment books are still 30% with free shipping for cyber monday and that ebates has moved the amount back to 50% for today! How exciting, if you haven't gotten your book this will make it $12.25 a book! Order your book at entertainment.com but order it through ebates first or it will be 24.50. Just sign up then search for entertainment and it will come up. Did I mention I love this site? I don't really do all that much online shopping, but last time I got just over $150 bucks back on things I was going to buy anyhow!

Do you have any other Cyber monday specials that you know about? Post them in the comments section!

Target 11/28-12/4

I don't know about you all, but my fridge/freezer is overflowing from all of the sales last week that were just WAY to good to pass up! Thanks to my $8 butterball turkey at Farm Fresh last week, I have been stuffed for days now.

I haven't mentioned that if there is a deal that you think is good on an item you use frequently buy it even if you don't have a coupon since it will likely be weeks before that items goes on sale again. I will have more ads and deals up later, as I have a busy day planned with the husband but will be able to post more later.

Target:

If you plan to get the entertainment book I would highly recommend this deal.

For those of you who don't know what the entertainment book is: It is a book with coupons to local restaurants and hot spots and has many buy one get one coupons.  It also has a 10% off of any purchase of $50 or more at most local grocery stores.  Everyone will use the book, but, I think the people that get the best value are families with two children of toddler and older age!

Thanks for the heads up Kelli!

Walgreens Thanksgiving day Sales

Today I will be buying only the items that have register rewards that make them free.  Register rewards are coupons that you can use towards your next purchase.  Initially you have to pay out of pocket for these items, but after you obtain a few good register rewards and do not let them expire you can get many free things from Walgreens.

You can only get one RR per item per transaction....want more then one? Ask your cashier to divide it up for you! Make sure not to use the other RR to pay for that same item since the computer will know!

Canada Dry ($1 OOP and you will get a RR back)

Colgate $3.00 RR back (there was a coupon for this for $1 off in the Sunday paper about a month back, use it and walgreens will be paying you a buck for picking up the toothpaste!)

Crest 3D $3 RR back

Thermacare heatwrap trial size $2.50 RR back
use $1 off one coupon here (make another dollar)
Scruci hairties $2 RR

Dial for men body wash @ 3.99 (get $3 RR)
use -$1 off of one found here

Also, all regular 9.99 toys are 50% off, which is what I will be using all of my register rewards to purchase!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Bath and Body works coupon

Bath and Body works always makes a good Christmas gift. Now it's an even better gift since there is a free item (up to $13 value) with a $10 purchase.  Buy something for yourself, get the gift free or vice versa!

Get it here

Happy shopping

Oakley Felons 37.50

Oakley is selling their Felon sunglasses, orginally $150.00 on the vault website for 37.50 plus shipping and applicable sales tax.  What a great deal for an amazing Christmas gift.  I'm not sure how long this will last so buy soon if you want this one!

Cheap Similac

Many stores have the similac concentrate for under $4.00 and target has the ready to feed formula for 3.82 making this .82 for one days worth of infant formula!!

Coupons.com let me print two of the $3 off coupons (the ones I printed expire 11/24, yours might expire later, comment and let me know)

similac.com also let me print two off until 1/31/11. Hopefully they will renew it after that too. 

I'm hoping the coupons.com ones will refresh at the end of this month, as they have the previous two months.

Groupon

I LOVE to eat out at new restaurants. I also love groupon.  Currently for just $10 you can get $20 worth of food at Atlas Grill in Virginia Beach, mmmm. I'm excited for a cheap date night with my husband!  They have a new deal each day, things I have gotten previously include laser hair removal ($99) and hour long batting cage rentals ($12 for up to 5 people).  To join and see the deals each day click here

Walgreens Diapers and Pull-ups

If you have young children like me, this is a great sale.

Huggies Diapers or Pullups Jumbo size pack $8.99 (or less read below)
$2 off Pullups here or here (6.99 with coupon)
$2.50 off Little snugglers or little movers here (6.49)

You will also receive a $2 register reward good towards your next purchase.  You cannot get two rewards for the same thing per transaction or use your reward to pay for another pack and get another reward, so please take your rewards and save them for a future use making the pullups 4.99 and the diapers just 4.49. 

Please keep an eye out around 11 AM Thanksgiving day, as I will post a list of GREAT buys that you will want to leave the house for!

My Target shopping trip

These offers are only good through tomorrow 11/24 so if you see something you must have, please hurry!

Asparagus 12 oz 1.49
Gold medal flour 5 pound bag 1.50

Kraft shredded or block Cheese 1.80 (or.75 with coupons!) regularly $3.60
I purchased 2 of the sharp cheddar 10.8 oz blocks.  I printed the $1/2 from target and two of the .55 off of 1 coupons from there as well.

Did I mention target will "stack" coupons?  Stacking is when a store will take a manufactures coupon and a store coupon. this makes this cheese .75 a block, that is a savings of almost $3 so head over there if you are making mac and cheese this Thanksgiving!

Stove Top stuffing .79 (or .04 with coupons)
While you are at Target.com printing coupons for cheese print the .50/2 stovetop coupons here. And print the $1/2 coupon here. Buy 2 boxes at .04 each :)

The leapfrog tag system books on sale and they are B1G1 free.  Leapfrog tag book coupon for $5.00 off any one tag book priced 9.99 or higher.  This makes these 2 for $5, or two free if the cashier will ring through two of the coupons (watch a short video here and get another leapfrog coupon)

This trip I also used my $5 off any fisher price toy priced 19.99 or higher from the target toy book and got the Little People airport (reg priced 39.99) for 14.99.

Ebates

Ebates is an easy way to make some extra money, ESPECIALLY with the holidays and all of the spending you might be doing online.  Maybe you weren't planning on spending online, but ebates makes it cheaper.  There are many sites you might normally shop at that average a 3%-6% payout....why miss out?!

One of my favorite places to shop for items that are luxury items I cannot find coupons for is eBay.  On ebates I also get back money for shopping there. In fact, for items I commonly use, I purchase my coupons off ebay as well! Imagine that!

Sign up by clicking here!

Here we go...

This will be my first post of hopefully many.  For quite some time I have been saying to people "wait, I have a coupon for that" or responding to a friend saying they need a certain item by telling them how to get it cheap or free that week.  Before I began couponing I was budgeting about $800 a month for food and diapers!  Currently, I budget half that amount and spend approx. $250 on food, diapers, misc and dates with my husband (and we usually go out about twice a month on a date).

I'm really excited to show people how they can live an easier life with maximizing savings and minimizing efforts :)
