I am very excited to be hosting my first Festival of Frugality! If you are not familiar with the festival it is a carnival that provides a forum for all the great ideas floating around the frugal blogosphere!

If you are new to my blog- thank you for stopping by! I hope I can provide a resource for stretching those hard earned dollars. Sign up for my RSS Feed or Follow me on Twitter to learn how less really can be more!

Hot Printable!

06/29/2009

Share

Thanks to Tara and The Freebie Blogger for looking ahead to CVS next week. It looks like Post Cereals will be 3/$10 with a whopping 5 ECBs when you buy 3!

There is a $2 off printable here for Post Trail Mix Crunch- so this is a moneymaker! The coupon is Smart Source which means it may take awhile to load. Also-keep hitting your back bar after they print to get as many as you can– I printed 4.

If you don’t have a CVS don’t despair- this will likely be free with doubles at Kmart next week.

PS: This cereal is really delicious!

Wateroos- .47 for 4 packs

06/29/2009

Share

I posted the Wateroos deal previously- but it turns out the deal is even sweeter. Buy (4) 6pks and get a $10 gift card to Whole Foods or Toys R Us via mail in rebate.

While I was at Babies R Us today, I noticed the Wateroos are priced at $3.49 with a Buy One Get One 50% off sale. So the math looks like this:

Buy (2) at full price $3.49
Get (2) at 50% off $1.75
Subtotal: $10.47 for all 4 and get a $10 gift card back!

This isn’t as good as an actual rebate check since you can only use the gift card at Whole Foods or TRU/BRU- but if you shop there anyway it is a great deal!

We don’t normally buy these things but if you have a birthday party coming this would be a very frugal alternative to soda or juices.

Thanks again to the Coupon Geek for this great find!

Safeway Shoppers! Kashi Coupons.

06/29/2009

Share

I have been getting tons of Safeway coupons in the mail lately. This came today- it is a $1 off Kashi cereal coupon plus a second coupon for Buy 4 get a 5th free. These don’t expire until 9/30 so I have plenty of time to hold out for a great sale.

I also noticed at the bottom of my receipt a few weeks ago a promotion- accumulate $100 in baby items and get $10 cash back. The promo runs through August. I called and this seems to be a random promotion to select customers throughout the country.

I never actually read through all that stuff on the bottom of my receipts but I am sure going to start now! It was printed just under the Power Pump information.

Bath and Body Works Clearance Event

06/29/2009

Share

I posted this coupon earlier for a free anti bac hand foam at Bath and Body Works with any purchase. I normally don’t shop at B&BW since I get all the candles, lotions, soaps I need for free with coupons. But my travels today took me right next door to one so I stopped in. Apparently they are having the biggest sale of the year and virtually the entire store was marked down. They had tables of $3 items and near the registers there were tables of 75% and 90% off items. I bought this lip tint for 90% off and used the coupon to get both items for .81 after tax.

They also had fantastic tote bags originally $35 marked down to $3.50! They were meant for school books/ laptops etc.. and would actually make fantastic diaper bags.

Starbucks Coffee at Target $4.54

06/29/2009

Share

I noticed bags of Starbucks ground coffee at Target today for $7.89- they also had a handful of varieties marked down to $4.54. They were marked down on the regular shelf with a normal white tag- not clearance stickers.

They might be discontinuing certain flavors- so good luck if you are a Starbucks fan!
