Last Day to Print Coupons from my Side Widget

Today is the last day to print this month's coupons from my side widget coupons.com.
They will change tomorrow so chances are they will take down some and put up new ones so if there are any that you wanted to print go now and print them or else tomorrow they might not be there!

Remember they change them every month and throughout the month add new ones.

CVS - Sunday

By now you more than likely already got your $ off $$ email from CVS and are well aware that after your first purchase in August you will see your coupon for your free gift from CVS. They seem to do this a couple/few times a year. I remember getting tape not too long ago that way. I wish so bad that the emails for $ off $$ would be good until Monday instead of just til Sunday. Always difficult to go shopping with a toddler. Being able to go on Monday while my son was in daycare would be so much easier. Oh well. lol

Anyways the deals are really good this week. I will let you know what deals I got on my Sunday trip. Hopefully, the items will all be in stock.

My Stockpile (well some of it) Toothpaste and Toothbrushes




Again these were not all bought at once. I am thinking I have a year or two's worth (again family of 2). 21 Toothpastes and 14 Adult Toothbrushes and 3 Toddlers (need to concentrate on more for him).
These were free or very, very close to free (either after coupons, sales, Register Rewards or ECBs).

Another Target Trip

This time I bought the following:

1-Banana Boat Trial Size Sunscreen .99 cents used a $1 off coupon (either they adjust it down or you have an extra penny off something else)=free

2-Softsoap @ $2.04 ea used 2 - $1 off coupons printed from coupon widget on the side of this blog (CVS is cheaper at the moment $1.99 but didn't feel like going there to save a total of 10 cents between the 2)= $2.08 plus tax for 2

1 - Softsoap Body Wash clearance at $2.54 (these are on sale there for $2.79 but this scent was cheaper) used a $2 off coupon that I printed from my coupon widget on this blog so I only = .54 cents plus tax for it!

1 - 6pk of Lever $3.99 used a $1.50 off coupon =$2.49


Total before coupons = $11.60

Total after coupons = $5.91 (used a Target Giftcard so it was free - comment with your email addy and I will let you know how to get giftcards free too! FYI- I will keep all comments hidden)

Coupon Insert for Sunday 08/02

You will get 4 inserts this Sunday :

Smart Source
Red Plum
Procter and Gamble
Kelloggs

My Stockpile (well some of it) Medicines



Again not all bought at once. I actually had more but ended up using some and giving some to my family. Medicine is a tad harder to stock up on unless the expirations are a few years out.

This is not including medicines that I currently have open.

Some Good Coupons on My Side Widget

Look to the right of this post (you might have to scroll down or up to find it) and you will see a widget that allows you to print coupons from your computer.

That is how I got the super cheap SoftSoap Body Wash (I paid .54 cents and .79 cents for 2 bottles of it with the awesome $2 off coupons) and now I just printed 2 coupons for a free half gallon of chocolate milk with the purchase of regular (white) milk.


Check there regularly because the coupons change here and there.




Thank you to my reader Linda for giving me the heads up about these 2 coupons. :)

You Should Totally Sign Up For This!

I just signed up for this last week and I bought 2 Entertainment books for $19.96 shipped and got $16 back for them and then made 2 separate orders to Charlotte Russe and The Children's Place and got back .28 cents and .90 cents (my orders were small) and also got the $5 sign up bonus. Again this was last week. Today I looked and I already have the $22.18 in my account!!! So I actually got both Entertainment books free!! I didn't even have to wait a month to see my total in my account! I am so happy!!! Signing up is free and you will even get a $5 bonus for signing up.

Go here for all the details:

Nielsen Home Scanner

I have wanted to do this for awhile but everytime I sign up they are not looking for anyone either in my area or something. :( Maybe you will have better luck.

My Stockpile (well some of it) Cereal and Snacks




I decided to take some pictures while I was reorganizing my kitchen. FYI- I have a tiny kitchen (actually a tiny apartment!) so that is why these items are in a box. I seriously have barely any cabinet nor counter space and have a smaller than usual fridge. It sucks!


I am planning on taking some more pictures of some of my non food item stockpile probably on Monday or Tuesday so you can get an idea of what you can get for free or close to free by reading my blog (and me giving you tips and head ups on sales etc.).



Some good rules of thumb to remember when stockpiling (I will be adding to this) :

1- do not be greedy and buy 10 of one item just because you can get them free or make money off of them

2- always be kind and leave some behind for the next shopper




All of these items I have gotten on many trips not just one or two. Also this is over time not over a day or even a week or even a month.


These are just my cereal and snack stockpiles.

Remember this is for a family of 2 so your stockpile might need to be bigger. A lot of these items were free or very close to free.
* The popcorn and sugary cereal are mine and the non sugary cereal and various cheese crackers are for my son.

Restaurant Gift Certificates 80% Off

Go here to Restaurant.com and get $25 gift certificates for only $2!! They expire one year from the date that you purchase them so you can stock up! If you see a restaurant that you like I would buy them now because they do change periodically.



Use code : NAPKIN at checkout.

Looking to trade coupons with someone? Look no farther! I have seem to lost all of my traders so I am looking for some more. I generally have doubles of coupons and also have lots of coupons for free items. You can look at my want list (which I need to update since it has changed) here.

I am also going to make up envelopes with X amount of coupons and have them for sale (these will have the free items coupons in them) . These will go for $2. But each one will have a coupon for something free and also have loads of good coupons in them (you can give me a list of your wants and I will try to add as many of those in your envelope). *You are paying for the shipping and handling fee and also for my time to sort them out and clip them. Because it takes up a lot of my time to sit there and sort out all of the coupons and see which ones go to whom.

T.G.I.F's Coupon

This looks pretty cool it is a coupon that gets you $5 off your bill for each person you bring (have at your table) to TGIF.

I am not sure if it like the other coupons that they have offered where you can reuse them or not. Either way it is a very good deal. Say you and 2 of your friends go to lunch you will get $10 off your bill. Not sure what their prices are (I have never ate there) but I think they are comparable to Applebees and places like that.


You can go here to print your coupon and you can even get the coupon sent to your mobile phone if you would prefer.

Offer expires August 31st so you have plenty of time to use it.

Keeping Up with Baby and Toddler Stuff

Here is a website I found via a person I follow on twitter. Her name is Dulcinea and she lives in the U.K. and she has a fabulous website that is filled with pregnancy, baby and toddler info.

Her website is called : baby nunu and it is definitely worth checking out.







Also if you would like you can follow me on twitter here though I don't update much on there at least not yet.

Baby and Kid Type Stuff

Here are some things you might want to look into if you have kids or know someone who does.

Always check the fine print on book clubs. Sometimes you can just cancel after your first shipment and keep all of the free gifts other times you cannot. So make sure you read all the fine print first!!

Entertainment Books Only $7.99!!

They are now only $7.99 but it gets even better!!!

If you join here (it's free - in fact they will even give you $5 to join) then you will get the book for free!! You will actually get $8 back for the book!! So you will only end up paying the $1.99 for shipping for the book. I am sure you will save way more than that with the coupons in the book.

I just ordered 2 because there are a load of coupons I can use and a load I can give away.

Even if you only end up using 1 or 2 coupons you will have made out.

This deal is still good (07/22)!

Interested in going to Cosmetology School?

Then you might want to look into this school.

Today's CVS Purchases

They didn't have everything on my shopping list (no Off! Clip Ons) and I didn't buy the Balmex ($6.99!!) so I didn't exactly stick to my original list. I had to make up ($) for the Off though so I could use my $10 off of $50.

Here's what I got:

3 Xtra Laundry Detergents @ $1.99 ea
2 Filler Paper @ $2 ea $2 ecb back per
3 Renuzits @ 99 cents ea used a coupon for buy 2 get one free
2 Desitins @ 2.99 ea used 2 - $1 off coupons
1 CVS pantyliner .89cents .89 cents ecb back
1 Kodak DVD Movie $9.99 $9.99 ecb back
2 Papermate pens .99cents ea .99 cents ecb back per
1 Beach Set (kiddie stuff) $11.24
2 Memo books .99cents ea .99 cents ecb back per
1 After Sun Gel $2.99
2 NYC Compacts $2.99 ea used a $5 off coupon


Total before coupons and before taxes = $ 50.98

Used the following coupons:
-.99 Renuzit
-.99 ECB
-1.00 Desitin
-1.00 Desitin
-1.98 ECB
-4.47 ECB
-5.00 NYC
-5.00 ECB
-10.00 CVS $10 off of $50

Total after coupons and taxes = $25.38

ECBs I received = $ 18.84 which I will be using towards next week's goodies!!


The DVD turned out quite cute and I think I will make another using my mother's card since she won't end up making one. FYI - If you think numbering your pictures for the dvd will work think again! I had to sit there and try and remember the exact order I had them in. So yes, it will take you some time to get it done.

McDonalds Free Coffee Mondays Until August 3rd

I am sure you have heard about this already but just in case you haven't....

"McDonalds Free Coffee Monday will be held from now until August 3 at participating McDonalds locations from 7am to 7pm. Customers will receive a free 7 oz iced Mocha or an 8 oz hot McCafe Mocha. "


Of course I totally forgot today. :(

SwagBucks

So far I have enough for 3 - $5 Amazon gift certificates. The other search and win search engines I have used have never amounted to anything but this one I am liking. :) I use it maybe 3x a day max but not on a daily basis. Normally you win about 1 swag buck a day. I believe you only need 45 for a $5 gift certificate to Amazon.com.

Suggestions of signing up for freebies etc.

If you plan on entering contests and signing up for various freebies online I suggest making an email address just for that so in case you get spam or a lot of offers.

For instance if you sign up for InboxDollars you get emails (this is how you make money off it) so you don't want those emails crowding up your personal email account that your family and friends use to email you. Same goes for newsletters, contests, samples etc. it is a good idea to have a seperate email account for those.



InboxDollars is a very easy way to make a little extra cash. Pretty much you just click on emails and you get paid for it. No, not a lot I am talking pennies but if you do a survey here and there you make anywhere from 50 cents to 1.50. Also if you sign up for things (some free some not) you make money off of those. So far I have close to $30 and I have never bought anything and have done maybe one survey. Hey, it's free money right?




Potty Training

Wow, I just read on some forum a whole bunch of people's opinions on when a child should be potty trained by. Talk about a lot of people bashing people!

How I see it is really depends on a lot of factors. I am going by what I have read in baby books and by what my son's pediatrician said. I am also going by what I feel is right for my son.

I personally do not have a washer and dryer at my home so certain approaches do not work for me (I can't afford to have to go to the laundry mat every day nor do I have the time). Not too mention I also work so some other approaches do not work for me since I am not home with him all day (putting him on the potty every 20 minutes is not doable for me). I am sure it was much easier back in the days when the mother stayed home with the children and the father was the one that provided for the family. Nowadays households are so different some have 2 parents, some have one, some have 2 parents that work, some have 1 parent who works etc. I personally believe that people should potty train the way they feel is best for them and their children and not worry about what others think. As long as you are not harming your child or anyone else's it should not matter to anyone how you potty train.

With that being said I will gladly take any advice handed to me on the whole potty training thing. But do keep in mind : I work full time, I am a single parent, I do not have a washer nor dryer in my home.

Feel free to tell me your success stories or horror stories about potty training too!!

Restaurant Gift Certificates 60% Off plus free Gift!!

Restaurant.com gift certificates are now on sale (they go on sale a lot by the way so if you miss this one don't worry!).

You can buy a $25 one for $4 and also get a free $10 one with your order.

You need to use coupon code : KITCHEN at checkout.


Now this is how these work:
go to website
put in your zipcode (also can put in a zipcode of where you are going to go on vacation)
see which ones they have available in that area
add to cart
pay
and then print now or later

These work more like coupons (ie. $25 off of a $35 purchase) so you will have some out of pocket cost at the restaurant.

I have ordered from them plenty of times and these are great!!


This offer expires tomorrow (Monday the 20th).

My Plans for CVS this Coming Week

I scanned my card and got a $10 off $50 which expires on the 24th (I wish so bad it would be good for another week - wait til you see all the good deals on the 26th!).

Anyways I am trying to spend as little out of pocket and get as much back in ecbs as possible.


This is what I am thinking so far:

Kodak Picture Movie DVD $9.99 $9.99 ecb limit 1 (I have heard that this is actually limit 5 like the photo books not sure though). I thought I could do two (even though I would prefer the photo book over a dvd of pictures any day) x2 =$19.98 with $19.98 back in ecbs (if it isn't limit 1 and is actually limit 5)

CVS/pharmacy Pantiliners 22 ct. 89¢ 89¢ ecb limit 1 x1 = .89cents with .89 cents ecb back


Xtra 2x Laundry detergent 28 loads $1.99 x3 = $5.97 (I need to start stocking up on detergent)

Caliber or CVS/pharmacy memo book 50-80 sheets 99¢ 99¢ ecb limit 2 x2 =$1.98 with $1.98 ecb back

Spend $10 Get $5 ecb wyb Band-Aid Brand Bandages 6 - 100 ct, J&J Red Cross products, Neosporin 0.5 oz, Neo to Go Spray 0.26 oz or packets 10 ct. limit 5 deals (possible if I have good coupons)

Desitin 2 oz $2.99 x3 use $1 off coupons = $5.97

various CVS products (ie. cotton balls, baby wipes, baby diapers, mouthwash etc.) buy one get next one 50% off mix and match - again possible since I need cottonballs.



Balmex I have a cvs $1 off coupon for it and a manufacture $1 off coupon not sure of the actual price though.



NYC cosmetics I have a $5 off coupon so will buy 2 compacts which will be either $5 or $6 total if I remember correctly.



Total so far = $42.97 (before coupons and only for items I have a price for) so it should not be hard to spend the required $50.



But after coupons that above total will be taken down to $34.97 not including the $10 off. I figure if I buy the Balmex and some cotton balls I should easily reach the $50 and after coupons I will be able to bring it down to about $30 and then can use some of my ecbs that I already have and bring it down to about $20 and then get back $22.85 in ecbs for next weeks use.



I am still going to play around with it to try and get it cheaper. Anything you would suggest? I always try to choose items I actually need.

I Need Your Help

Does anyone get an advanced copy of the Target ad? That is you get it before the Sunday it comes out? If so would you be willing to scan it for me and email it to me?

I promise I will not put the actual ad on my blog but I will just list any good deals I see so people can plan ahead.


Thanks!!!

Want Info on Selling Avon?

I remember when I was a little girl and my mom sold Avon and all the cool samples she got. That I of course played with. :)

I personally never have sold Avon but have thought about it lots of times. I just have never gotten around to looking into it. But I do know that it doesn't cost much too start compared to others. I think you only need like $15 bucks to start (don't quote me on that - that could just be with their Mark brand).

Definitely a good way to bring in some extra money and who knows if you are good at it and know lots of people you can really make a lot of mula!!

CVS Pantyshields .89 cents
Head and Shoulders $4.99 x2
Colgate Total $3.49
Transparent Tape $1.49 x3
Pencil Sharpener .99 cents
Always Pantyliners 6ct $2.99
Hot Wheels toy $1.69

Total before taxes and coupons = $26.50

Coupons I used :
bogo Head and Shoulders - $4.99
Dawn -.50 cents
Dawn -.25 cents
Colgate -.75 cents
ECB -$1.00
ECB -$4.00
ECB -$4.50
$5 off $25 purchase

Total spent out of pocket after coupons = $6.03 not too shabby!
But it gets better!! Look at all of the ECB's I have for next time!!!

Extra Bucks I received with above purchase:
$4 from Head and Shoulders
$4.47 from tape
.99 cents from pencil sharpener
$2.00 from Colgate
.99 cents from CVS Pantyliners (not sure why it was not .89 cents)
$1.00 from Dawn
for a total of : $ 13.45 which is more than I spent!!!

Now if this would have been Walgreens they would have acted like I was robbing them and more then likely not let me make my purchase. Why none of Walgreen's employees (this is 4 stores in my area and have also heard many horror stories online from various other states) including managers are not aware that the manufacture reimburses them for the amount deducted from coupons is beyond me (I mean it says so right on the coupon).

SwagBucks

I have earned enough so far for 3 - $5 gift cards for Amazon from doing simple searches. This is the only search engine I now use because I am getting something other than of course what I was looking for from it. I stopped using all of the others since it seemed like I never won anything with them. This one I generally get a point each day and sometimes 2 or 3 points a day. I only search normally up to 5 times a day (that is the days I do searched).



Entertainment Books

I have bought these in the past and they always have really good coupons in them. If you generally use say 3 coupons you have paid for the book. The cool thing is you can preview what offers are in the book prior to buying it to see if it is a good deal or not for you. I recall many, many years ago I worked for a dry cleaner and let me tell you people used those dry cleaning coupons in that book like it was going out of style! I seriously think certain customers bought multiples of the book just for those coupons alone. Yep, they saved that much.

50 Free Prints When You Join!

I am sure you all will be taking loads of photos this 4th and here is a good offer for some free prints.
