Black Friday still going… onlline! Check these out

Hey Guys, well I haven’t gotten to post, my mom has been doing it, and I have been trying to get our video edited!!!  And my computer got a virus so sorry to everybody that has been patiently waiting….:(  So while I am figuring that out here are a couple of deals to mention.

Cuties website is offering a $3 off coupon, and they are on sale for $3.99 at my store.  WE LOVE THESE!!!  I think I go through a bag each week.    So you put in your e-mail address and they send you a coupon.  I also put in Shay’s e-mail so we got two.  Not a huge deal , but it’s still good!!!

30% off and free shipping the 2010 Entertainment Book.  This offer is only good until the 30th!!!!   Click Here

As we mentioned earlier, Amazon is having a Weekend Sale not just one day.  Smart I think!!!  There are great  deals that even beat some of the stores.  Free shipping on over $25 it goes until tomorrow!  Amazon Black Friday/Weekend  CHECK IT OUT (that was said in a loud announcer voice)

 Ok I guess I’ll be posting later!  Hey I think all the readers here would agree that we want to hear what deals your finding.  Thanks to Annie she has sent a few things to us that have been great deals that we posted up.  We want to hear more from you.  What have you found, or what deals do you know are coming up that are exciting?

Later!

 

 

BLACK FRIDAY……Don’t get HURT!!! Do this instead…

I’ve never really liked Black Friday.  You know, the day after Thanksgiving where the stores open at 4:00 a.m. and people get trampled.  I’ve tried a few times….actually, I think I go every year!  Those ads are so inviting and to a Compulsive Hoarder like me it’s too tempting!  Actually, Johnny (my son) looks forward to this day almost as much as Christmas.  So for those of you who are interested, here are some clues and ideas.

The ads will come out on Thursday but some will come on Wednesday.  There are stores open on Thanksgiving day and it’s usually pretty dead so I actually like going in on Thursday.  CVS and Walgreens are two of the stores.

Amazon has Black Friday going on right now (actually started Monday)!  The prices are pretty good.  Just play around with the box at the top and it shows deals going on all day long but they go fast so if there’s something you really want, be sure to watch for when it is coming up for sale.

Check it out HERE

Kohl’s will open at 4:00 a.m. on Black Friday and you get $10 in Kohl’s cash for every $50 you spend either in-store or on-line (I like the on-line part!).  The on-line shopping starts at 12:00 a.m. on Friday until 1:00 p.m.  The sale is 11/25-11/29 and they have over 300 early bird specials – see the list here.

If you shop on-line at Kohl’s, be sure to go to Mr. Rebates FIRST and then to Kohl’s and you can get an extra 3% on your purchases and they also have a bunch of codes for free shipping and discounts!

PENNEY’S If you plan on shopping here for their deals, here’s a coupon for $10. off $50. Again, if you shop on-line be sure to go here first and you will get 2% rebates for Penney’s purchases!

CVS coupon $5 off $30

Just a quick blog.  If you use CVS it’s always great to have money off coupons but they are few and far between but I just found one and wanted to share.  You have to take a little quiz (about 4-5 questions) about medicare.  Here’s the site

Disney’s Snow White and Santa Buddies….rebates and coupons

Disney’s has two movies coming out today (Tuesday) so I thought I’d share the links for coupons and rebates.

Santa Buddies has a $10 coupon off a Blue Ray combo pack (includes a regular DVD)

http://adisney.go.com/disneyvideos/liveaction/santabuddies/couponoffer/

and if you buy a Butterball turkey, there is a $5.00 rebate on the Santa Buddies here

http://www.butterball.com/promotion/santa-buddies

Snow White has a $5.00 coupon here

http://adisney.go.com/disneyvideos/animatedfilms/snowwhite/couponoffer/?cmp=dmov_dvd_sno_coupon_url_swoffer

There is also a $5.00 rebate from Kernel Seasons popcorn seasoning.  I haven’t heard of it but I checked out the store finder for my area on their website and it showed 4 stores so it must be here.  The rebate is for $5.00 when you buy 2 products plus ONE of these DVD’s.   Snow White, Santa Buddies, TinkerBell or UP.

http://www.kernelseasons.com/MovieNight.php

The rebate says you can send photocopies of the receipt so you should be able to do BOTH rebates.  That would make the Santa Buddies FREE!  Target has it for $19.99 – the $10 coupon and the 2 $5.00 rebates….of course you do have to buy the Butterball turkey and popcorn seasoning!   I’m sure there’s coupons out there for those!

You could also buy both DVD’s at ToysRUs, which is offering an $8 discount wyb both, and a $10 gift card for spending $40+ on Disney movies.  There should be some good deals this weekend on these movies so print the coupons now and be ready

OK question for the week…. “What do YOU do to keep your e-mail organized?”

I don’t know about you, but I do know that my e-mail inbox gets full of stuff quick!  I get offers, deals, coupons, newsletters, and blah blah blah, then there’s the e-mails from friends and family! 

I started to make separate folders in my e-mail for each category!  For example I have  a folder for coupons, a folder for natural articles, Bailey’s Home school, and Newsletters from my favorite sites, and blogs.  It has helped so much so that I don’t miss out on any deals!  Because that’s happened twice now!!!  I will sign up for an offer but forget to cancel before the trial period it over, then I get charged! ARGH!  It’s working great so far and haven’t missed out on my deals.  YAY! 

 SO….. “What do YOU do to keep those e-mail’s organized?” 

Have a good weekend!!!

A lesson on cutting coupons!

So yesterdays paper didn’t have the greatest coupons but there was something that I wanted to mention.   I usually cut all of the coupons out because something there are deals that can even be a money maker.  Some of you are new to using coupons and so I wanted to give you a few lessons about coupons.  I’ll do one lesson today and one tomorrow.

Also, we wanted to thank those who have subscribed to our site by personally sending you a pictorial message on how to organize your coupons.  There are lots of ways but it’s good to actually SEE ideas so that you can develop what works for you.  I will probably be sending the info by the end of the week so if you haven’t signed up and want some ideas about organizing your coupons, be sure to subscribe before the end of the week!

Ok….so here is Lesson one!

LESSON #1

Be sure to check out all of the sections.  The Parade (or similar ones) will sometimes have one or two coupons so always make sure you glance through that insert.  Our parade did have one coupon for a free bag of candy when you buy Monsters vs Aliens

Another thing is to see if any of the stores have manufacture coupons in their ad.  Today, Rite Aid had a good coupon on page 6

Now, Rite Aid also had a page of manufacture coupons on page 10 but they can only be used at Rite Aid.  Can you see the difference?

The first coupon has 2 sets of barcodes on them and the second coupon only has on number and in this case starts with a letter.  Reading the barcode is pretty tricky but we’ll talk about that in lesson #2.

Ok, now I always cut every coupon.  I know that doesn’t sound so great but I have my reasons.  I donate so much of my stock piles that I buy a hugh variety of items.  You just need to figure you what you’re purpose is for doing coupons.

Here is a good example of why I would cut everything.  Yesterday there was a coupon for $30.00 off a Breeze or Contour Meter (for diabetics)

Now, I’m not diabetic….I should be considering how much I love candy.

Anyways, I have no use for these but I always cut the coupons because when I do buy them, I actually MAKE money on them!  Here’s an ad from Walgreens for this week.

Here’s the deal.  Spend $20 or more and get $5.00 in register rewards (which is a receipt that can be used on your next order).  So The monitors are $14.99 but with the coupons they are free.  MOST stores will adjust the coupon amount from $30.00 to $14.99 but once in a while you’ll run into a cashier that won’t do it.

So with this deal you buy 2 monitors using 2 coupons so out of pocket is ZERO and you will get back $5.00 in register rewards.  And what do you do with the monitors?  Well, I donate mine.  This last time I had about 20 monitors and they went to a doctor that is going to the Philippines.  I do ask for a donation slip mainly because I don’t want someone taking the monitors and selling them on Ebay!  When I don’t have a request for them I will always donate them to any nursing home.  They love them!  Now you can sell them on Ebay or Craigslist but I’m not sure how well they sell.  Even at “basement sales” I give them away so I’m not even sure how well they would sell at a yard sale.

At any rate, that is just one reason why you would want to cut all of the coupons.  There are always deals out there that are free or even a money maker.

Just a quick warning.  The meters usually have a rebate on them for your money back (notice the monitor on the right).  I can tell you from experience, that when you use the coupon and get it free they will just send you a reject letter.  Just thought I’d save you the time!

Lesson 2, YOU CAN DO IT! Keep Reading…

Don’t forget to subscribe to our blog if you want your special email on how to organize your coupons!

Also, if you look at past posts I have one on buying multiply inserts and faster ways to cut them.  Ok…on to lesson #2

LESSON #2

WARNING….make sure your head is clear before reading!  Haha!

I just want to give you a QUICK lesson on UPC coupon codes.  These codes are very detailed and having an understanding of them helps for your orders to go through more smoothly or at least to understand why the machine is beeping at you!

I am going to use the barcode from one of my monitors as an example.  The first picture is the actual monitor barcode and the second picture is the monitor coupon

Now, I am only talking about the coupon code for now.

The first number (in this case #5) is the Number System Character

The reason it would be important to you is if your store doubles coupons.  Most coupon codes will start with a 5 or a 9.

If the coupon starts with a 9 it WILL NOT double!  If it starts with a 5 the computer will automatically double the coupon (up to the number of coupons allowed for your store).  Even if you have a coupon that says “Do not double” and it starts with a 5 it will still double if your store doubles.

The second set of numbers (in this case #00193).

This is the manufacturers number.  It will almost always be 5 numbers and will match the the actual product.  Notice the actual product upc and the coupon upc are the same #0193.  Once in a while I’ll have a coupon and I’m not sure if it’s for that specific product and so I’ll look at the Mfg. number to see if they match.

The next THREE numbers (in this case #100) is the family code.  The manufacture will assign a 3 digit code to each of their products.  Some coupons are good for only one certain product/size and some coupons are good for any item such as “Good for any Suave hair product”.  Since there are so many Suave products and this coupon is for any Suave, these three numbers would probably have something like #100.  If you see a 3 digit number with no zeros such as #687 the coupon is only good for one specific item.

The next TWO numbers (in this case #00)and is the Value code.

It tells the computer how much the coupon is worth.  Just some examples are #02 is buy 4 get one free, the #33 is for $1.00 and in the case of the monitor coupon, the #00 means BEEP and the reason why is the cashier needs to put the value in.

The last number (in this case #5) is the Check digit.

It really means nothing to us but it is what tells the computer what the numbers add up to

Now, the only reason I tell you this is so you can understand when a coupon beeps at you and what the reason might be.  Please don’t use this info to try and fraud the system.  There are a lot of die hard couponers out there and we would be so sad if manufactures decided not to use coupons anymore.

This might not be important to some of you but I have found it something that I’m glad I have the information.  Kerri

Make $5 and “relieve” the local Nursing Home!

Me again!  If you’re doing the deals at Walgreens here’s an extra bonus.  The Dulcolax is on sale for $7.00 and you get $4.00 R.R. (register rewards) and there is a $3.00 coupon on the bottle that you can peel off.

So, $7. – $3. coupons = $4.00 out of pocket and you get $4.00 in R.R. so Free….but wait, there’s more!

Here’s a link for a rebate for $5.00 so you actually make a $5.00 profit!  (this was slow to come up on my computer)

You don’t NEED Dulcolax?  Hey, if you can make money on the deal, buy it and donate it to a nursing home and you’ll feel GREAT and the nursing home will be “relieved”!      Kerri

What’s your skin worth???

Hello everybody!  Everyone have fun on Halloween???  I know we did!  We had a Pirate, Cowgirl, and a HOBO!!!!  They looked so cute and we had fun collecting that candy!!!!! 

So today I was searching out a product (i like to research what I use) and without being biased on what I like to use or what I don’t, I’m not going to talk about certain products, but just share this site I found.  It’s called Skin Deep.  Skin Deep is a safety guide to cosmetics and personal care, skin care products from the Environmental Working Group.  It’s super easy to use and quick reading!  You just search whatever brand like I searched out my kids soap first.  They rate it and explain what it means.  Then I was curious and running back and forth to the bathrooms checking out he brands and names.  Nobody noticed my dashing about in the house… LOL I behave weird a lot so they didn’t notice!!!  So check it out if your interested to see what’s in your skin products or even WHY it’s important to know.

P.S.  Don’t forget your papers!!!!!

P.S.S My mom is working hard on her new idea, so make sure to subscribe because only the subscribers are getting what she is creating…. YAY!

P.S.S.S.    Just one more thing!  There is an amazing deal we can e-mail you that my mom found  so we are going to send out a group e-mail to the subscribers for the deal,  if you want it then reply yes and off it’ll go to your inbox!  If your not a subscriber and you curious to what deal we are talking about go up to the left or right side of the page and subscribe!  Watch for it.

Kellogs Cereal $.66/box!!! PLUS rebates & more deals!!!

I’m getting ready to go out of town for 2 weeks….a week with my mom and a week with Codi and her family!  Since I leave tomorrow I can’t go out and do these deals until I get to Utah but I have to share with you.

Sunday’s paper had some great coupons in it.  I was able to get 20 papers yesterday (Monday) and only had to pay for 6 of the papers.  If you build a positive relationship with the gas stations or stores, they’ll save the Sunday paper for you and you get them free.  We have two Sunday papers and one  stays on the shelf so I pay for those but they usually give me the Democrat and Chronicle.  Just thought I’d throw that plug in there to try and get your papers cheaper/free.

The first deal is at Tops.   I want to be sure to mention that if you have a Tops store, they have $1 doublers and some other great coupons in their ad.  Here is a list of their coupons:

Butter for $1.29 (great time to can that butter for the year!)

Domino Sugar 5 lb. $1.99 (I have .25 coupons so final price is about $1.49…not free but ok!)

$2.00 off beef or chicken when you buy one Kraft dressing and one Kraft mac. and cheese

Buy 2 bags of Tostitos chips and get a salsa free (the Tostito chips are B1G1F so $3.99 for 2 bags of chips and 1 salsa and there are coupons out there!)

There are some other great deals but it depends on what you’re looking for but with the $1.00 doubler this should be a great week.

Now for the Kellogg’s deal!

TARGET…..this one I’m going to have to try and do today because I’m running out of cereal.  I had 12 missionaries come to my house last week and I guess cereal is a staple.  I always thought they’d love the sugar cereal but their favorite is Special K with strawberries and the Special K with cinnamon and pecans so I was excited to see this deal.  Now, I’m sorry I haven’t tried it yet but I wanted to let you know right away so here we go!

In my Target ad on page 27, Kellogg’s cereal is $2.66 and also buy 3 get 1 free!  So about $8.00 for 4 boxes

Now for the manufactures coupons.  In Sunday’s paper there is a coupon that is for $1.00 off any Kellogg’s cereal

If you don’t have a Sunday paper you can also print a variety of Kellogg’s cereal coupons at these sites:

kellogs coupon

coupons.com

RedPlum.com

Now, to sweeten the deal, Target has a coupon for $1.00 off any Kellogg’s cereal!  I would print these ASAP because they have been known to pull a coupon

Target Kellogs Coupon

There are also some other good coupons on there for candy (which should be on clearance now), Duncan Hines cake coupon for .50 and a few others.  Remember that you can use a Target coupon AND a manufacture coupon on one item.

So, now the deal is 4 boxes for $8.00 (rounding up).  What I’m not sure about is if Target will let you use 4 of each of the coupons since you will have 4 boxes.  It will probably depend on the cashier but for now we’ll just say that since one box is free you can only use 3 Target and 3 manufacture coupons.

$8.00 – $3.00 Target and $3.00 man. = $2.00 for 4 boxes (and maybe even better!)

Be sure to look for special marked boxes with promotions on them.  Remember the Special K promotion that I blogged about last month?  It was about finding the Special K that looked like this:

On this promotion you send in 5 of the symbols on the back and get a $10.00 check.  You will also need the form on the inside of the box

You don’t need the UPC for this promotion (that was a different one).  You just need 5 of the “pockets” and one form and you get $10!

You can also print the form at the Kellogg’s site below.   You can go to this site and see all of the promotions from Kellogg’s.  You can also sign up for the Promotion newsletter so you can always be aware of new promotions.  Or you could subscribe to our blog and we’ll try to keep you updated!  Here’s the Kellogg’s promotion site

Kellogs Promotion

One other deal at Target that I wanted to mention was for the G.E. light bulbs.  They aren’t on sale but there are 3 Target coupons that can be used with a manufactures coupon.  Even if you don’t get them this week it would be worth printing for later.

coupons.com

You can put in your zip code and see if they are there.  The coupons are different for each area.  In the top left corner you type your zip code.  If you don’t see the G.E. coupon, you can try 14564 or 84010.  You might miss it so just look for any G.E. coupon and it will say something about “only good at Target”.

When you print the coupon, it will look like the coupon below.  Use the Target coupon with the manufacture coupon from Sunday’s paper and they should be cheap or free!

The last deal that I wanted to mention was on the last page for Glade or Airwick for $5.99.  There are manufacture coupons for $4.00 and $6.00 off one but also there are Target coupons attached to the boxes at the store for $2.00 off so this is a money maker!

Ok, that’s all for now….I need to go pack!  Good luck to all you shoppers.    Kerri

(For those who have subscribed, I haven’t forgotten you and our blog about organizing your coupons!  It’s coming! )

Free Product coming soon! And take your pick!!!

So my mom posted yesterday about the Kellogg’s deal and it wouldn’t post right!!!! I couldn’t get it fixed until late afternoon     But in addition to what she talked about you can also print these coupons as well at the Kellogg’s site here TAKE YOUR PICK!

OH COME ON! There are too many deals right now!!! (never!)

Ok I’m am mentioning some deals again because they are AWESOME!!!! FREE Christmas gifts…. what more do you want????  Talking about Christmas, I don’t doubt you haven’t heard of this….

Between Nov. 5 and Nov. 15, you can take in old or non-working Christmas lights and get a $3 off coupon toward the more energy-efficient LED string lights as part of the company’s second annual Christmas light trade-in. Customers are limited to five redemptions uh per coupon…. SO I bought the ones that were on sale for $5.97 and paid $2.97 plus… I have like 8 more strands that I could take in for some new and improved one’s!!!

They last 10 TIMES longer… and they use 80% LESS energy!!! YAY!  I wonder if I’ll get a tax break… ;0

Now I wondered and looked into what they do with the lights when you bring them in, because I wasn’t about to do this if they just throw them in the land fill!!! They actually do this,

The light bulb coupler and the socket plug are manually clipped.

Three byproducts result and four categories of raw materials.

Each byproduct is independently shredded for separation, returning glass, HDPE plastics, and non-ferrous copper as well as ferrous steel.

The prepared separated raw materials are then sent to licensed smelters for re-casting or re-molding, all in accordance with local, state and federal statutes.

YAY HOME DEPOT!!!

So I was gonna post my own pictures but I was looking for my camera when I remembered my husband has the camera!!!! He is hunting this whole week and I’m camera-less !!!!   But I did do these offers!

Herbal Remedy or Perscription???

Hehe, little bear cubs…. cute.   Well I’ll tell you what that means.  So the other day I posted an article about your skin HERE and it got a lot of views that day, which makes me think it’s a popular topic?  Anyways I didn’t tell you how I found that site I talked about there are so many websites out there that are awesome and if you don’t bookmark that baby, chances are you won’t find it again!!!  That’s happened to me so so so so many times.  I found the Skin Deep website last year, and didn’t bookmark it.

So my girls both have a funny rash on their face, right on the sides of their mouth.  Only they have it and it’s definatly the same.  It gets worse with time and I from the beginning (3 months ago) felt like I knew what was causing it… their toothpaste or toothbrushes (their toothbrushes were bought at the same time, and they use the same brand of toothpaste) but the Dentist, Dr., and Derm. disagree.  One suggested steroid cream, (uh not gonna use it, I don’t want to mask the problem I want to discover what’s causing it!)  He had no suggestions, NONE!  So off to the Derm. and she looked with 4 different magnifying glasses thingys until she could tell me what it was.  She wants me to put a lotion (not even a good quality one, its first ingredient is Alcohol!!!!) with an antibiotic in it. 

 STILL don’t know what’s causing it or explain why they both have the exact same rash!  Still unimpressed as usual when I go to the Dr.     And as usual they want to prescribe something

I contact my friend who is going to the Naturopathic College here and explained over e-mail what was going on.  She suggested that it was the same thing as the Derm. said.  Good so far….. then she said change their toothpaste, lotion, soap (wait!  I from the beginning thought it was their toothpaste!)   Turns out the foamy stuff in your products, not just toothpaste, Sodium Laureleth Sulfate will cause canker sores (Shay uses a special toothpaste, my mom found to reduce canker sores, it works and is SLS free), and skin rashes….. I should’ve trusted myself!  So I checked all the products.. hence why I talked about in the other post why  I was running around!  My scalp has been itching lately, well as I was searching my products… the second ingredient in my new Shampoo and Cond. is…. Sodium Laureleth Sulfate (SLS)!!!!  I was researching SLS I came across Skin Deep!  YAY ME!

So what did my friend say?  Well she said to mix crushed oatmeal and honey with a little green tea and mix it up to make a paste and slap that stuff on!  They looked like they had gotten into a honey jar!

 

They weren’t too excited with the goopy stuff, especially when Shay came in and made a funny face at them and teased them!!!  LOL I thought it was funny, were such mean parents!

Now the prescription sits at the pharmacy for my back up.  I will probably exhaust 5 more home remedies before I will go get it though!  I think my cousin who is a herbalist reads this, maybe she’ll shoot me an e-mail with suggestions!  Hey Cassie!   

Talk to you all later, let me know how your deals are going, and don’t lose our page! Subscribe to us up on the left!

Later! Codi

Good Day from Down Unda!

Good Day!  (That was in a “down unda” voice.. you know Auwstralliun accent… (i know that was spelled wrong)).  There’s really no reason for the accent, my post has NOTHING to do with Australia.. I just felt like writing like that.  So I think that’s a good enough intro.. onto the GOOD STUFF.

So I don’t have a CVS here in the NW but I know they are in my mom’s area so I’ll post for her, I KNOW she loves this place.  If you don’t know where she is, your first guess would be at CVS!   So here’s the deal…

2 Free Breyers Ice Cream with Sara Lee Pie!!!! MMMM

Hello!  Long time no blog!  Sorry about that…I’ve been visiting with my mom and now I’m with Codi and her family.  We’ve been working on our video for our subscribers about organizing coupons but I wanted to share a couple of things with you.

The Sunday paper had some Target coupons in it for Duracell and Scrubbing bubbles.  I usually don’t get Target coupons in the paper in NY but I imagine it’s different in every state so be sure to look for those.

Albertson’s had a single flyer ad that only lasts until Tuesday.  It had coupons for Ragu for .88, Skippy for .99 and some other good deals but the one that caught my eye was not a coupon. 

You buy a Sara Lee Pie for $6.36, and you get another Sara Lee pie and 2 Breyers ice cream for FREE!  It says no limit.

Check your Parade magazine today for these coupons:

Glade The Fragrance Collection $2 pg 31
Nivea Body Wash $1 pg 23
Ore-Ida Steam & Mash Potatoes or Hash Browns $1/2 pg 11

Since my mom has been here we’ve been working on our video that’s going to be sent out to our subscribers, and it’s taken up some time and we haven’t posted as much!  So if your not a subscriber then go up to the corner and SUBSCRIBE ALREADY!!!   LOL anyways, here are some great deals you might have missed…

Target has their Del Monte Canned Vegetables on sale for $.45 AND there were coupons in the last Sunday paper and target.com (go down to the bottom and click on ’Grocery Coupons’) for ‘buy 8 get $1.00 off’ ( so that would be  $.32 each!  WOW what a great thing for many many things!  You could donate that to all the food drives, there’s your food storage, giving away a Holliday Meal to a family, and keep some for you selves!!! My family loves canned beans (except me YUCK).
