They seem to suck me in every time they have the doubles event.  I honestly don’t think they restocked after the last time they had the doubles thing going on but I still was able to get a few things.

• 6 Hartz Dog Treats  FREE with $2mq
• 4 LaCross Beauty Tools  FREE with $1mq
• 2 Arm & Hammer Multi Purpose  FREE with BOGO
• 4 Cesar Canned Dog Food  FREE with BOGO
• 1 Visine FREE with $2mq
• 2 Secret Deodorant FREE with $2mq
• Small Transformer mismarked  $6.99

I used a $5 off your purchase coupon from the last run of doubles.  I paid $3.87 tax was $1.88 of that, I saved $5x.xx I can’t remember exactly right now.  But it was a good trip none the less, I might even run up there again this week and see if I can find anymore of the Kmart books.

to celebrate my birthday!!!  I’ll try and post tonight about the good deals at CVS and Wag’s I know there are some good ones, but I haven’t even gotten my newspapers yet.

I’m also working on a post about how to go out on a budget.  Shawn and I have seasonal passes to Disney and Dave gets in free since he works there so we try to use the passes as often as possible to get our full use out of them.  But there are great ways to save when you go to the parks and those translate into going out nearly anywhere. 

I’ll see you all later.  In the meantime visit coupons.com (link on the lower left side just scroll down alittle) and print out your coupons before they reset.  They seem to frequently reset at the beginning of the month.

So here’s how my great Target trip went yesterday.  Some of my coupons rang up better than expected but who am I to complain.

• 4 Johnson’s Buddies  .97  -$1TQ =FREE   (just a little note about these you can print out as of these coupons as you want but you shouldn’t take all of them at your store others need these for their kids to)
• 2 Chef Michael’s Bagged Dog Food  $4.49  -$1.50TQ + -$3MQ
• 1 Black Ink Pad  $2.99
• 1 pack of 12x12 Shimmery Paper Pack
• 4 cans Chef Michaels Canned Food  .89 each –BOGO TQ and BOGO MQ
• $10 Gift Card

Total Spent $15.07 Total Saved $23.64  But I actually only spent $5.07 for the stuff I got when you account for the $10 gift card

The coupons attached all funny but it worked out to my advantage big time.  Even if they hadn’t attached funny that’s free dog food and we can always use free stuff for the dog plus whatever we don’t use the local shelters are more than happy to take.

Caregivers Marketplace is a great place for people to go and get extra rebates for things that we have to buy.  Here’s a list of what they give rebates on, but before you go buy check their website some of the things are very size specific and they list the UPC’s that they accept on the website.

If you purchase any of these items hold on to your reciepts.  Also head over there and make sure you are buying the right sizes, I wish I had known about this when Shawn was still in diapers the money I would have saved.  Go get your rebates, and let me know how you did.

in Central Florida!!!

Starbucks coffeehouses across Central Florida are giving a free cup of coffee for donating school supplies.

They are collecting supplies for “A Gift For Teachings” back to school campaign and hope to raise $150,000 and 1 million supplies.

So what are you waiting for?  I know that you have piles of free supplies from all the great deals at CVS, Walgreens, Staples, and Target bag them up and head out for your free cup of coffee.  I’m sure it won’t include any of my favorite drinks, but I’ll be taking a bag with me when I go to get my free coffee Sunday for my birthday.
