Where to get FREE Coupons....

Who doesn't love free coupons. I am always on the hunt for free coupons. Once in a while, there is one in the Sunday coupons. Many months, I find one in my All You (1-year) magazine. Sometimes there is even a rebate to do to get a free coupon. I got all these free coupons last week......

These came in the mail from internet sign ups......



My DD got these in school in teen gift pack......

This one was sent to me when I wrote to Nabisco and complained about all the cookies in the pack being smashed in a million pieces.

My CVS Deals.......

This morning I headed out to CVS for my weekly CVS deals. Here is the scoop.....

This coupon printed out when I scanned my CVS card at the machine right inside the front door. It is blurry but it says it is good for $1.00 off and CVS brand hair care item.


That meant, this shampoo was free!!!!

These are all the items I bought today..........

I needed the dishwasher detergent and I did not have a coupon so I actually had to pay $3.00 for this bottle. I know, how could I be so unprepared?

Right Guard was on sale for $2.69. I had a coupon for $3.00 off 2 (that I printed from coupons.com over here -------> ) and you got $2 in ECB for each one your bought (limit 2).

Schick razor trial pack was $1.29 and I had a $2 coupon from the Sunday paper. The cashier took off the $1.29 to make them free!

The 2 first aid items were $1 each. I had a coupon that printed from the CVS machine that was $1 off 2 CVS brand first aid items.

Kotex was $4.99. I had a $1.00 off coupon and you got $4.99 in ECB when you buy 1.

Zyrtec was $18.99. I had a $4 off coupon from the Sunday paper and you get $7.00 ECB when you buy 1. It made this pretty cheap and I really needed it. ACHOO!

The trial size J&J baby shampoo was free after a $1 home mailer coupon (They send me stuff like this from time to time after my DH told them how much we love their Head to Toe Baby Wash)

The Reach Floss was $1.99. I had a $1 off printed coupon that I printed this morning. You also get $2 in ECB when you buy 1. I made money on this deal!

The baby asprin was another thing I needed but had no coupon for. It was only 79 cents though.

Before coupons, this was all $40.41. I had $19.18 in coupons and ECB's. I paid $21.23 for all this and left with $17.99 in ECB's to use another day. Not bad when the Zyrtec alone was $18.99.

We had a busy morning of pre-op tests for my DS so I did not get to post the Earth Day freebies early this morning. I was delighted to see many volunteers collecting trash along the highway in our area - in honor of Earth Day!

I hope you will all take a minute today to think of just one simple thing your family could do to live a greener life. It could be hanging a few loads of laundry outside to dry instead of throwing them in the dryer. You could use a cloth towel instead of grabbing a roll of paper towels. What ever you choose to do, it will help save the planet for future generations.

Earth Week Tuesday....

This is just a busy Mom Tackle this week. All moms feel like we run for one place to the next.

Here we are at my son's baseball game. He is on 3rd base waiting to make it home. He never did make it home but he sure was happy to have made it to third!

I then ran to CVS for this weeks deals. My total was $15.92. After coupons and ECB left from last week, I paid $6.87 out of my pocket. I also left with $7.28 in ECB to use next time.

An Awesome Mail Day!

I had to move this post here... Frugal Finds from your Frugal Friend Give-Aways and Reviews!: My Awesome Mail Day....
Apparently, I was in Blogher violation.

My Shopping Deals....

I loaded up my coupons Thursday morning and headed out to do some free shopping. My first stop, CVS. Here are the coupon I had here.....

(4) $1 off any Johnson and Johnson product (from DH writing to the company)
$1 off any CVS paper product (from scanning my CVS card inside the front door)
$1 off Herbal Essence from Sunday coupon section
(2) $2 off any Renu - from here coupons renu® multi-purpose solution Bausch + Lomb

The knee high stockings were 22 cents - on clearance. I use them as a filter at my washer. I was thrilled to find them so cheap! The toilet paper was on sale 2 for $1 - free after the coupon that printed at CVS! The Dove shampoo was $4.49 but with your CVS card, you get an ECB for $4.49.

The total was $20.59. After the cashier rang up my coupons and I used an Extra Care Buck worth $8.99, I had a negative balance. That is why I ended up grabbing the candy quickly (which made my kids happy). I think the cashier actually rang one of the $1 coupons twice - yeah me! The total I paid for all this..... 64 cents! PLUS... I have an ECB for $4.49 to use next time!



Next stop... Target. I had to stop here to pick up a few items but I had heard about a deodorant deal that I decided to try. I printed these coupons on Wednesday.....

Print Your Coupon - $3.00 off Suave Deodorant

Print Your Coupon - $3.00 off Degree Deodorant

The Suave was $2.94 for the twin pack and the Degree was $3.59 for the twin pack. I paid 53 cents for both!

Last stop was Walmart.

I only stopped here because I had some coupons to use. I had a free coupon for Rimmel Cosmetics that was only good at Walmart. That came from All You Magazine. I had $3.00 off any Tucks product I printed here... Tucks

My total was $9.45 before coupons and I paid ZERO after the coupons came off!

I plan on having a yard sale in a few weeks. Many of the extra health and beauty items will be sold there... like the Tucks!

Free Coupons.....

A few months ago, my DH went on an email campaign. He wrote to many companies telling them what he liked and disliked about their products. He always included the upc and product codes from the package we had purchased. He would always ask for free samples or coupons and to be placed on their mailing list if they have one. The response was wonderful!

In the following weeks, coupons started pouring in. Some were for cents off the products but many were for a free item. Here are just a few......




I used them on Saturday and got all this. I did have to pay a few dollars for this pile but only because I went over the limit on some of the coupons. We will be eating pretty cheap this week!!






This weeks menu......

Monday - grilled chicken breasts, fresh asparagus from the garden, Lipton Noodle Side Dish

Tuesday - Red Baron Pizza topped with left over chicken and asparagus, spinach salad, kiwi

Wednesday - BBQ meatballs, mac and cheese, broccoli

To market, to market to buy a fat pig.....

We are always looking for ways to save a few dollars here and there. We have talked about buying half a cow or pig for years. We were never really sure if it would be worth the cost. Recently, we had the chance to buy a pig that was very close be being raised "organically" with out being certified organic. When we heard the price we decided to get the whole pig!

To cut costs, my husband and brother in law did the butchering. That saved us a lot of money.

The picture above shows my DH shrink wrapping the meat to freeze.

The cost...
$190 for the pig
$30 for the vacuum bags
and we borrowed the vacuum sealer

We got 111 pounds of meat. After all costs, that comes to $1.98 a pound for organic pork. What a great savings!

Compost

Last week, I showed you all of my recycle bins, including the compost bin. For years, we have been wanting a compost bin. We have looked at models like this but never wanted to put out all that money. Then, just before Christmas, my friend told me there was a woman in our town that was giving away free compost bins through a special program. Turns out, that woman was my daughters teacher!! I emailed her about it and she said we could gladly have one.




So, a few days before Christmas, we brought this FREE compost bin home and began our journey into composting.

I bought this ceramic jar for my kitchen.....


We we have fruit and veggie scraps or old bread, we stick it in this odor free ceramic jar. Every few days, we take it out to dump into the compost bin. I am sure in the summer, we will have to empty it more often.

Once there is a layer of scraps in the bin, we toss an arm full of brown leaves, from the woods, into the bin.

We will not try to compost our grass clipping. We have a mulching blade on the mower and just let the grass lay to compost back into the yard. We are so happy to be keeping our food waste from going to a landfill! Compost is also a gardeners best friend! We are anxious for warmer weather so that we can start using some of the compost that we made!

Disney's Princess and the Frog Deal....

The Princess and the Frog is being released tomorrow! (Tuesday, March 16, 2010). We were in Disney when they were promoting the release of the movie. My DD and I were asked to be part of the Princess and the Frog steamboat show. That was so much fun!! Of course we forgot to take a camera with us but my DH got pictures from where he stood in the crowd. Enjoy the pictures!

I am 5'4". That man next to me had to be 7 feet tall! His elbow was at my shoulder!

Thinking of buying the movie? Here are a few ways to save.....

Get a $10 off coupon here.. Disney Magical Savings – Coupons and Savings on Disney DVDs

Get a $5 rebate here - http://www.frogtape.com/Princess%20and%20the%20Frog/Rebate.aspx

Get another $5 rebate here - BAND-AID® Brand Adhesive Bandages

You should be able to do both rebates since there are 2 UPC codes on each DVD. Just purchase the band aids and movie separate so that you have 2 receipts. A photo copy of the movie receipt is acceptable.

It has been reported that Target is offering a Blu-ray DVD/combo pack that includes an exclusive Princess Tiana purse. All for $26.99. After the coupon and rebates from above, the movie and the purse will be $6.99 total! That would make a great Easter gift for only $6.99!

Make the deal better by printing coupons for the band-aids at Target too... Target Coupons

Too much hassle to do all that? Then just order it here

OR... to be even more frugal, you could just wait and borrow it from the library or rent it from Netflix or Redbox.
