$70 coupon for Dell laptop

I finally received my $10 rebate check from Kelloggs that I posted about several months ago! With the rebate check there was also a coupon code for $70 off your purchase of select Dell Inspiron and Studio Laptops. I don't plan to use the coupon code since I don't need to buy a Dell computer before January 2010. If ou would like the code, just send me an emai l to request it.

CVS accepts competitor prescription coupons!

I talked to the CVS Manager at the Danville KY location and they accept competitor prescription coupons! That means today I used a RiteAid prescription transfer coupon for $25 gift card! No problem. I talked to a friend yesterday who says that she does this regularly and has made quite a bit of money in gift cards at CVS! Important : if you have multiple prescriptions or special circumstances, pick a pharmacy and stay there. But.... if you are filling a prescription for something simple like I am -this is a great way to get some extra money! So, if you are new to this, here's what you do..... Print the prescription coupon or cut it from the paper when you find it. If it is for a NEW prescription, you can use it anytime (like when your child needs a simple cough med etc) If it is for a transferred prescription, take it to the new pharmacy and tell them where your present prescription is (mine was at Rite Aid from last month). Give them your health insurance information and per

Fisher Price Giraffe

Image
We love Fisher Price Little People. We have tons! and the kids love to play with them all! The other day my daughter noticed that the giraffe ear had lost an ear. We called Fisher Price. They were very concerned and wanted to make sure the kids hadn't swallowed it. They sent a postage paid mailing label for me to return the giraffe and then 'replaced' the broken toy with 7 brand new Little People characters! My 4 year old daughter said "Mommy, this company really cares about kids!". Since my 2 year old is potty training - I had 7 reward toys for every time he had success! Lesson learned ..... if a toy (or an item) breaks, contact the company. Who knows, they just may make the situation right! Fisher Price did! -------------------- (I've heard that Little Tikes and American Girl will do the same thing too but don't know that for sure)

Local offer.... Spirit Cards!

Those of you in the Danville area have probably heard of the Spirit Cards that offer discounts for local businesses, restaurants etc. They cost $10 but offer some pretty good coupons. (My favorite is the 10% off a meal at Chinatown. We don't eat there often but a 10% savings twice a year is nice). If you are in the Danville/Boyle County area and are interested in buying one, you may contact me or any of the many Hustonville Elementary teachers/parents/staff that read this blog. They will be available for sale until Sept 30.

Freebies for new and expectant moms!

Image
Today I talked to a new 'grandmommy-to-be' who wanted to know how to find great deals for new babies! So.... in honor of all the new moms & moms to be, here is a list of freebies and sample offers. This is not a complete list by any means but it should get you started :-) However you feel about nursing vs formula, I recommend signing up for all the baby clubs you can. You never know when you may need a different kind of formula (or if not you, maybe your friend?) + they often send other samples as well. Create a baby registry at Target and receive a FREE Baby Kit at the Customer Service Desk in store filled with samples and coupons; click here to get started. Very Best Baby - Receive Gerber coupons and Good Start formula checks. I nursed all 3 of my children but I was always thrilled to get the formula checks in the mail for emergencies (if you don't need them for your baby, you will probably have someone you know who could use them) Register for Enfamil Family Begin

What can you get for $5 at Amazon.com?

I'm the kind of person that thinks that if you have $5 as a gift card that you should not spend $6.00 to redeem the free $5. Does that make sense? I want a gift card to give me something completely free! So here are just a few options to get you started using your $5 at amazon.com. Would you like a free movie ? You could use it for yourself or as a gift. Login to your amazon account. In the search box, instead of it saying all departments, click to movies & TV. In the search box beside there, type in either a name of a movie or an actor. (I used John Wayne as a sample search) Over on the right of the screen, you will see an option that says 'search by' and it shows the word 'relevance'. Click that word and choose the option 'price = low to high' Each movie that comes up will have 2 prices. A NEW price (sometimes the best option if you are wanting to spend more money) and a USED price (this is what we are interested in today) There will be tons of m

Are you getting money back when you shop online?

Anytime we make a purchase, we check several things first: Is this item cheaper online or in a store? If the item is cheaper online, we check which store is best. Then we look for coupon codes for that store. (we usually just type in the store name and 'coupon code'. This way you get lots of choices. We can usually find at least a percentage off our purchase! Then we look to see where we can get the biggest rebate at the store we're going to buy from. That's right! When you shop online you can also get a percentage rebate mailed back to you. We get between 2-8% almost everytime we make a purchase online. Here's my 3 favorites. We also use http://www.bing.com/ - but to be honest, it is more confusing and not the best place to start. Most of these sites will give you $5.00 just for signing up. You usually need to reach $10.00 before you can get paid. Some of them send you a check at the end of each quarter, some will deposit your money into paypal. ebates.com Mr. Reb

Image
I just confirmed with our local Danville Fazolis - All through the month of September if you buy an adult meal, you get a kids meal FREE on Saturdays and Sundays. We don't eat out very much at all, but our 7 year old really wants to go eat at the 'big tomato' restaurant so looks like we'll be going this month!

Where do I get my coupons?

When I check out at the grocery, I often get this question from the cashiers (and other shoppers in line) - Where do you get so many coupons? Here's where: Sunday newspaper from the closest big city (we subscribe to the Lexington paper on Sundays only - $8.00 per month; my husband LOVES the Sunday paper so even if UI didn;t save coupons we would spend that money anyway) Sunday Danville paper - our local paper - $6.00 per month - same reason as above Colgate Palmolive Company - I call every 6 months Angel Soft toilet paper - I call every month Home Made Simple Book - register every time it comes available Print sites - www.coupons.com (coupon button on right side of blog) www.redplum.com/ Magazines (we subscribe to every free magazine that comes available.) There are lots of coupons there. Then of course we pass the magazines on to friends and family - they never get trashed. E -Coupon sites (s hortcuts , cellfire , pgesaver , upromise ) These are just a few of the plac
