Yankee Candle $10/25 Coupon

02/25/2011

Share

There is a new Yankee Candle coupon available for $10 off a $25 purchase.

This one is valid online or in stores through Match 20th.

The coupon says it is valid at all Yankee Candle stores or participating retailers- excluding Target. So I guess there is a chance you can use it at other retailers- if anyone has had success with this please let us know!

I posted a giveaway with Home Depot a few weeks ago and mentioned we were remodeling our guest bath.  We have actually been doing endless renovations in our house so we decided to just give the bathroom a small makeover.  We will probably sell this house at some point so we wanted a simple and very neutral makeover.

Home Depot has had a renew and redo promotion running for the past several weeks with discounted priced on many items for the bathroom.

We took advantage of the sale and we also ordered many of the items online and got 3% cash back on the purchases thanks to Ebates!

You can see the final product pictured above- we actually did quite a lot.  We replaced the flooring, we replaced the countertop, we painted the cabinet and shower stall and we replaced all the fixtures.  The bathroom used to have this horrible gray tile and we decided to paint the tile rather than replace it all.  So we bought special paint and now it is a very crisp white.

You can see from the before picture it was really kind of a depressing room and I am pretty pleased with how it all turned out!

Since the cabinet was in great condition we decided to just replace the counter.  So we got a glass counter that is sort of a seafoam color and was really easy to install.  We just ripped out the old tile and popped the glass counter on top.  My husband actually painted the old pine cabinet in an espresso color and it turned out really well!  The pictures don’t do this counter top justice- it is really pretty in person.

I think this is a huge improvement over the ugly tile we had before.

So here is the breakdown of what we spent on this project:

  • Flooring (we used scrap pieces left over from our kitchen remodel)
  • Light fixture $30 (this was a clearance find and we spray painted it to match the other fixtures)
  • Cabinet Paint and Supplies $30
  • Tile Paint and Supplies $20
  • New Countertop $300- ordered online and got 3% cash back from Ebates
  • New fixtures $150- including a new faucet, showerhead etc…- ordered online and got 3% cash back from Ebates
  • New shower curtain from Target $34.99
  • New bath mat from Target $17.99

So the grand total is $582.98- then we got back $13.50.   So not as cheap as you see on HGTV but overall I think we got a nice renovation from top to bottom for under $600.

Rue La La is offering a free $10 credit once again.  The last time they offered a $20 credit and I know a bunch of you got amazing deals- I bought a pair of Puma sneakers for $4.95 with my credit.  Some of you got free $50 gift cards to Lord and Taylor and I think Beauty.com?

Anyway, it works out to be a fantastic deal because Rue La La does offer good sales and I have found they are pretty fast to ship.

Here is the fine print on the offer:

“New members must join before March 3rd and the credit must be used by 5/31.  The credit will appear in your account within 48 hours.”

So you can head over to Rue La La and register for an account.  They will send you a daily email letting you know what is on sale that day.  The really good stuff does tend to sell out early.  I have found they offer a lot of really nice products.  On Sundays they usually have a big clearance sale and you can get deeper discounts on products.

So remember it could take up to 48 hours to see the credit.  Just look at the top right corner of the site when you log in and you should see your account balance.

New $10 off Bambi Coupon

02/24/2011

Share

There is finally a $10 off coupon for Bambi available.  This one does not require that you enter any UPC codes and it expires March 8th.  Just register or log in and click on member extras to see the coupon.  (Warning a giant ad will print following the coupon.)

This is only for the Blu Ray or DVD combo pack- not the regular DVDs and the release date on this movie is March 1st.

It looks like the Blu Ray combo pack will likely be about $23 at Best Buy.  Target and Walmart should have similar prices- if not you can always price match at those stores.

The other option is to order from Barnes and Noble for $12.79 and use the online coupon they are offering.

Or you can get both Tangled and Bambi for $14.50 each with free shipping from Amazon.

I have not seen the Toys R Us flyer yet but they have been releasing movies at $29.99 for the past few months.

***Holy cow- they got over 20,000 fans in less than 5 hours.  This promotion has ended but if you did get in on this we need to go back to Mission on the 4th to claim our coupons.

This is a funny promotion- Mission Tortilla chips is offering a coupon based upon how many new likes they get on Facebook.

Currently they are at 8100 likes- which means they will be offering a $1 off coupon.

If they hit 15,000 likes they will offer a free coupon for a bag of chips.  Either way this is a great deal!

You just need to do two steps for this offer:

Since you are adding your email address it sounds to me like every liker will get a coupon?  And they might arrive via email so keep that in mind.  Not all stores will accept free item printable coupons so we’ll have to see how this goes.

It says reservations for the coupons expire 3/2 or when supplies run out- so you might head over now.

*I’d love to have to join My Frugal Adventures on Facebook as well!

Capri Sun 10pk $1.62 Each Shipped

02/24/2011

Share

UPDATE:  Red Berry has sold out but the other flavors listed below are still available.

Reader Kristin spotted a nice sale on Capri Sun right now from Amazon.  They have (4) 10pks of Red Berry flavor for $6.49 when you select subscribe and save on the right hand side.

That works out to $1.62 per pack and shipping is free.  Considering coupons are so rare for these, I think this is a great price.

You can choose from other varieties as well for a few cents more- Tropical Punch is priced at $6.94, Strawberry Kiwi is priced at $7.06, and the Sunrise flavor is $6.94.

*You can choose to keep the subscribe and save feature for regular delivery but not the price is not guaranteed to stay the same.  You can also just go into your account once your order arrives and cancel this feature with no further obligations.  If you forget, Amazon will also email you a reminder.

Thanks Kristin!
