CVS - week of Nov 1

If you are wanting to start playing the CVS game, this is not the best week to start. Hopefully next week will be a better week! I ran over and picked up a couple things but I'm not real impressed with this weeks deals.

"So you wanna save $$$$?" The Challenge!

OK folks..... the challenge is on. Can I help my friend, who shops at Target and Walmart, save $$$$ this week on her grocery bill? Since I don't shop at Target, I may need some input from you Target shoppers. Here's three definite deals that you should be able to snag at Walmart as early as tonight! (To save on lots of items you will need coupons from other sources (newspapers, magazines, phone calls etc. Just keep watching the blog for a few days and you will see where you can get more coupons!) Most of the time, you should be able to click on the link again and print it twice (double the deals - double the savings). Remember: It's always smartest to use a coupon for the smallest size item. That way you save the biggest possible amount of money. Honey Bunches of Oats Cereal - should be priced at your store for around 2.50 Use this $2.00 coupon here Total for a box of cereal - under $1.00 Dole Canned Fruit - should be priced under $1.00 for the small can Use the coupon he

Have you loaded your ecoupons recently at Upromise?

Have you loaded your ecoupons from Upromise lately? There is a great 1.00 coupon for Nestle fun size candy available. Just login to your account here . Then click on Ways to Earn, ecoupons. There are new ecoupons every month. Remember, these coupons don't come off your receipt. Instead they accumulate for your child's (or grandchild, or nephew, or friend, or yourself) college fund. (If you don't have someone you want to earn for, you can always add my kids name :-) At the rate I'm going, I hope to buy at least one textbook for each of my 3 kids when they are ready for college. (They're only 2, 4 & 7). My upromise account is growing slowly - very slowly. But I am at $8.50 - so considering I have about 12 years before I need the money, I hope to see it grow in time to help out a little. You can sign up here . I don't shop from upromise.com but if you do, you can see your savings grow faster. For me, I prefer to start my online shopping through ebates, or mrre

Great customer service at Sutherland Chevy!

My husband's car almost died finally last night. We've had it 10 years and almost 200,000 miles. We weren't surprised that it barely limped home. We knew it would cost way more to repair his car in the long run than go ahead and upgrade. So last night we called Sutherland Chevrolet in Nicholasville KY and talked to Frank. We told him exactly what we wanted, exactly what we could afford. Within 1 hour, he had found way better than what we were looking for at the exact price we quoted. We drove to Nicholasville, test drove the truck, signed the paper work and had the whole process done within 3 hours. Now that's service! If you are looking for a new or used vehicle in the area, I highly recommend that you call Frank at Sutherland Chevy and tell him Sharon sent you. There were no long negotiations where he tried to muddy the transaction with fake smiles and shady options. Frank told us he was going back to the old ways where you told a customer what you have and

Free $5.00 at Kohls

It's been a long time since I reminded my readers about how to get $5.00 free to use at Kohls. If you go HERE , and give them your email address, Kohl's will email you a $5 off coupon good in store and a coupon good for 10% off online. It takes about 5 days to get the coupon emailed to you. It's one per email address. So here's a tip..... Have your spouse sign up their email address too. That way you will have 2! You can only use one per transaction and I wouldn't try to use both of them back to back at the same register. Your purchase price must be $5.00 before tax. So I try to find something that is $5.25 etc before tax. That way your out of pocket including tax will be under $1.00. Great way to get a stack of dish towels, kids tshirt, clearance candle or lotions etc *** You will get tons of emails from Kohls after you sign up. So once you get your coupon, just go to the bottom of the email and unsubscribe!

Calling all local Money Savers!!!! I need you!

Usually I post about how to save money and find great deals. Today I am calling for help from all my local readers. My son's school is having a huge Family Fun Day on October 24. There will be carnival games, pony rides, Truck Touch (with tons of vehicles for the kids to examine up close), karaoke, corn hole, bake sale, games, prizes........ You name it! Here's where you come in. I am responsible for finding lots of prizes for the kids. How does this involve you? I know I have huge stockpiles of crayons, notebooks, pencils etc. Don't you? Here's a chance to donate some of those items for a great cause! Contact me and I will work out a place to pick them up. We will also be giving out 'kids meal type toys', hotwheels, matchbox cars etc. If you have any of these sitting around in your kids odds and end baskets, here's a great place to donate some of those as well. Thanks a ton guys! I know I can count on you to help out. Of course.... you know me!

Clothes, Toys and Kids Stuff for less!

Another way I save on my kids clothes, toys and 'stuff' is to shop (and sell) at consignment stores. The best place for local readers to save at consignment is at Melonie's Booth in Danville Peddlers Mall. My family/friends and I swap toys and clothes on a regular basis. But sometimes there are things that no one in my network can use and these things still have lots of life. That's when my friend Melonie steps in! She has been taking the stuff my kids can't use and selling it in her booth at the Peddlers Mall. Win/win for everyone! She makes a bit of money and I get a percentage of her sales. Here's a note from Melonie about her booth: " I just got in a large amount of girls clothing in sizes 6x to 10/12. All are in excellent condition and used gently by one little girl. All are available at my booth #98 at the Danville Peddler’s Mall . I have lots of children’s clothing sizes newborn through 10/12 at my booth for boys and girls. I have a la

Oust Freshen Your Home Gift Pack

Sign up here for an Oust Freshen Your Home Gift Pack -first 10,000. If you have received a gift pack from Right@Home in the last 180 days, you are not eligible for this month’s offer. I always sign up for this offer every month when it comes available. If they decide I'm not eligible, that's fine but since it only takes about 10 seconds to sign up, it's worth a shot. (Each month is a different offer. One month I got a big box of Ziploc oversize bags from Right @ Home!)

Swagbucks - How could you not love it?!?!?

Alright folks, it's time to tell you again about how much I love swagbucks . Why do I love it? Because my family has received $75 of free money to spend in just 2 1/2 months!!! How did I do it? By using the internet to search just like I do anyway. (If you are an old-timer at swagbucks, just skip this first part and jump to the end) :-) Go here to sign up (no credit card of course!) On the sign up screen, there is a box for a bonus swagcode - just ignore that for now and leave it blank. Download the toolbar here (I have been using for over a month and it really makes it easier to get my swagbucks). Just click on the big word that says 'download'. You don't have to use the toolbar but I find it easier to have it on my screen so I don't have to go to swagbucks home page every day Every time you need to go somewhere on the internet, just use the toolbar search box to type in your search. That's all there is to it! Tough, wasn't it? After a few searches (that y

My neighbor told me this and I confirmed it today. Danville CVS lets you shop for the Sunday deals starting on Saturday after 3.00 p.m. I had no problem with any of the extra bucks printing out.

Sara Lee coupon update

I used all the coupons I had printed off and put the meat in my freezer so we'll have lunch meat to last a while.
