Something To REALLY Get Excited About: FREE Chik-Fil-A Fries!


I LOVE everything about Chik-fil-A.  Everything.  They are family friendly, the Chik-fil-A by me even has tiny cups of Cheerios for babies.  They have awesome food.  They are good to their workers.  Their workers are good to their customers. 

Obviously, I'm really excited for FREE FRY DAY!  On March 4th between 2 and 4 p.m. if you go to Chik-fil-A and ask for their new Heinz Dip & Squeeze Ketchup then you will get a FREE medium fry.  These new ketchup contraptions are pretty awesome as well.  (I hate those old little packets that always seem to make a mess.)

FREE Shout Color Catcher!

"Like" Shout on Facebook and get a free color catcher by mail (you can also get a $1 off coupon)!  Have you tried these things?  They really work!  Now, don't go putting your brand new red socks with your crisp white pants, but try one and see what color it is when you take it out.  It's amazing!

Daily Deal site, No More Rack, is offering American HomeTex Quilted throws for $20 +$2 shipping.  Use this link to get a $10 off a $20 purchase!  Hurry!  As you can see, the baby carrier is sold out!

Bid Rack: I won a Cyber-Cam hi def Digital Video Camera for $1.14 + $2 Shipping!

UPDATE:  I never received this camera from bidrack.com :(  Instead I received an e-mail saying that they could not ship it.  They offered me some junky jewelry and "free bids" instead.  Luckily, I didn't pay anything except the $2 shipping and the $1.14 for the auction.  It was guaranteed by a third party, so I'll at least get my money back.  My personal advice is stay away from this website!

Yesterday I told you about the friend referral at Bid Rack.  I took them up on the 10 Free Bids they are offering and bid on a few things and WON this video camera for $1.14 + $2 shipping!  I can't believe it!  I've ordered from No More Rack (sister store) and been pretty happy with them, so hopefully they will fulfill their promise on this video camera!

Michael Jackson The Experience for Wii $29.99 Shipped!



I've heard so many people tell me how awesome this game is!  To be honest, I just think the name, Michael Jackson The Experience, is too funny (or disturbing) - but anyway.  It is Amazon's Gold Box Deal of the Day and is being offered at quite a discount: $29.99 shipped!

$1 Clam Chowder at McCormick & Schmick's 2/25/11!

Apparently Friday is National Clam Chowder Day and McCormick & Schmick's wants to celebrate with you!  You can grab a cup of their (yummy) clam chowder for only $1! 

I love this place - their happy hour specials are amazing!!!!


Thanks Bargain Briana!

Maternity Steals at JC Penney's! BellaBand $16



A few of you have asked me for some ideas on how to save money on maternity clothes.  My first suggestion is hitting up second-hand and consignment shops.  You wear maternity clothes for a few months, so don't spend a fortune on them!  I invested in a great pair of jeans and a few pairs of dress pants for work (at the end NOTHING besides a giant muu muu dress fit anyway).

Bon-Ton/Elder Beerman/Carson Pirie Scott had some great yellow dot clearance deals as well, but right now at JC Penney's you can get $10 off of a $25 purchase and have it shipped to the store to save some dough!  Use Coupon Code YOURVIEW at checkout.  (This coupon code can be used on regular women's wear and men's wear as well!)

You can get this BellaBand for $16!  Getting one of these could help you extend the regular pants that you wear, so you save more money!

Bid Rack: Invite friends get an Macbook Air, iPad, iPod, or Apple TV!


UPDATE:  I never received a camera or baby toy that I "won" from bidrack.com :(  Instead I received an e-mail saying that they could not ship it.  They offered me some junky jewelry and "free bids" instead.  Luckily, I didn't pay anything except the $2 shipping and a few dollars for the auction.  It was guaranteed by a third party, so I'll at least get my money back.  My personal advice is stay away from this website!


A site called BidRack is offering some GREAT prizes for inviting friends to join.  In the next 72 hours, you can get a Macbook Air if you invite 65 friends who sign up and buy a "bid package." 

The way Bid Rack works is that you buy bids, then use your bids to bid on items.  The past few times I've looked around things were going CHEAP.  They have a win guarantee.  If you bid and don't win, then those bids are credited back to you.

Here is the break down of prizes:

3 Friends: iPod Shuffle + 90 Bids
6 Friends: Apple TV + 160 Bids
10 Friends: iPod Nano + 270 Bids
15 Friends: iPod Touch + 400 Bids
35 Friends: iPad + 800 Bids
65 Friends: Macbook Air + 1500 Bids



You need to go to Bid Rack and register
Then go HERE and get 10 bids credited to your account
Then invite friends and get prizes!

Target Obsession: Clearance Finds

I found two boxes of Gerber cereal for $2.84!!


Cover Girl lipstick was only $2.47.  Use $1 off coupon (PG 1/16/11) to make it only $1.47! 

I ended up using a $3 off Neutrogena coupon from January's issue of All You on a $3.76 lip gloss = $.76!  I also used the Target $1 off an up&up cleaning product on bleach, which made it $.47; however, it is going to cost a lot more to fix the bleach that leaked out of the bottle, ate through the plastic bag and ended up all over my car.  :(  At least I didn't pay full price for it, right?

Gerber Good Start 32.1 oz $17.84 at Target!


Since last night, several things that I typically purchase went on clearance!  I love those little red stickers!  One great deal is a 32.1 oz Gerber Good Start can at $17.84.  Do you have a $5 off from March's All You?  That would make it an AMAZING deal!

CVS Trip: $12.05 OOP $2.75 ECB




Yesterday I was a bit off my game.  I've promised myself that I will ALWAYS watch everything ring up and my coupons scan in and I WILL check my receipt before I leave the store, but I didn't and I found out that a few things that were supposed to be on sale weren't and some coupons didn't apply like I thought they would.  Such is life.  However, I did still get some good deals:

Two 12 pack cases of Coke - $10.98
Two Tostitos - $5
Colgate Total - $2.99
Dawn dish soap - $1.69
Physicians Formula Eye Shadow - $7.79 (said it was $6.99 on the shelf )
Cadbury Egg (not pictured...  :)) - $.75
Pampers Sippy Cups - $4.99
Epsom Salts (not a great deal, I just wanted them!) - $4.99

Coupons:
1 $4 off a $20 purchase from registering my CVS card
2 Free 12 packs of coke from My Coke Rewards
1 $.55 off Tostitos (SS 1/30/11)
1 $1 off Dawn dish soap  (You can occasionally use this to get free soap)
1 $.75 off Colgate Total
1 $7 off a Physical Formula from the CVS magic coupon machine


I paid $12.05 and used $5 ECB from before and got $2.75 back in ECB

$0.85 for Pampers Wipes 60 Count

Do you have a handful of $.50 off a Pampers wipe from your Pampers diapers?  I do, but the Amazon deals always seem to be better than using the coupon in the store.  However, Kroger currently is offering Pampers wipes for $1.85 right now.  Use one of those $.50 off and if your Kroger doubles coupons, then they are only $0.85!

$6 Cans of Formula at Target!




Target is having a sale on infant formula right now!  You can get a can of Enfamil, Similac, or Gerber Good Start for $12!  Many of you get the rebate checks in the mail.  I use the Similac $5 off, so the can would be $6!  If you have the $5 off from March's All You, then you can get the Gerber for $6 as well!

You can combine the rebate checks and manufactures' coupons, so you could potentially get a can for free if you have a high value coupon and rebate check available!

MORE Target Deals: Toddlers Clearance, Shoes, Oreos, Bertolli




On my trip to Target to get my Free Jeans, I found lots of great deals!  I found toddler's pants on sale for $2.45!  They are a light weight material (great for my hot and sweaty boy) with the stretchy band waist and the legs roll up and have little buttons to keep them in place when rolled up!  I also found some pretty cool looking shoes for my hubby for only $12.24!

Has anyone else found some great clearance deals at Target?

 -0
If you have your Target Coupons printed, then you can get the following deals:

2 Oreos $5.58
- $1 off Target Coupon
$2.29 each (I've heard of people finding Oreos on clearance to get them even cheaper, but I needed my Oreo fix right away)

2 Bertolli Sauces  $3.84
- 2 $.60 off (RP 2/20/11)
- $1 off Target Coupon
$.82 each!


Target Frozen Food Deal!

In some areas Target is offering a $5 gift card if you purchase 7 frozen items.  ANY items!  You can get some great deals when combining with Target and manufacturers' coupons.  I got the following deal (not the cheapest, but the things we like the most).

3 Tyson chicken bags- each on sale for $6 and I had 3 $1 off coupons and one Target $1 off coupon = $14
2 Bird's Eye Veggies = $2.04
1 Bagel Bites = $2.49
1 TGI Friday appetizer $2.23

If you count the gift card as cash, then the total is $15.57!  Not too shabby!  Also, double check before you leave the store that your coupons were taken off.  I just realized while checking my receipt for this post that not all of mine applied. :(

FREE JEANS! Yes, Really Free!


I told you about the new coupons at Target.  Well, I found a whole wall of $5 jeans!  After the $5 coupon, they are FREE!  They aren't exactly True Religion, but they really aren't bad - especially for FREE!


UPDATE:  Target pulled the coupon.  Hopefully you've already printed it!

$5 off Gerber Good Start Formula in March's All You

In the March edition of All You magazine, there is a $5 off any one 24 oz or larger Gerber Good start Formula.  All You is available through subscription or at Wal-Mart.  I don't know exactly what the cost of All You is in store, but I'm sure it is less than $5 (and has additional coupons!)

A one year subscription is $19.95 at Amazon, but occasionally there are better deals.

Did you know that Target has coupons? They do! $5 off Denim!

Did you know that on Target's website you can print coupons that can be stacked with manufacturer's coupons?  You can usually get some great deals or even better, free items, with the coupons!  A while back I used a $10 off of 3 sleep wear items. I ended up getting two sleep T's and a robe for $0.50!  Target has released some new coupons that are worth getting excited about!  Here are my favs:

$5 off of 1 women's denim (yay!)
20% off of a Merona item
10% off of rain boots (I'm really hoping there are some on clearance that I can use this one)
$1 off an Up&Up cleaning item
$4 off two Fridays appetizerers (I'm going to be on the look out for a coupon to combine this with!)
$1 off Colgate Total Advanced
10% off Khaki apparel

Gerber Baby Food $6.65 for an 8 pack SHIPPED!

Right now at Amazon you can get some of the Gerber Baby food 8 packs for $6.65 shipped!  The link to the left is for the carrots that I found for $7.82, use the Subscribe and Save option to save an additional 15%!

Babys R Us Disappoints AGAIN!

So I went in for the Toys R Us promo today.  Though the "fine print" is online, it was pretty unclear to unless you read and re-read it.  The first toy must be OVER $25, okay fine.  The second toy must be less than $24.99.  I can't be on sale.  I can't be on clearance.  It excludes tons of FP toys.  You can't use a coupon.  So basically, I couldn't find ANYTHING to make this deal worth while at my local store.  This isn't my first issue with Babies R Us and I won't say this is the last straw....but it's close.  I hope you all had better luck!

Toys R Us President's Day Sale!!!! BoGo on Fisher Price Infant and Sing-a-Ma-Jigs!

Toys R Us is having a great President's Day sale!  They have a LOT of Fisher Price toys that are Buy One Get One, but they have these Sing-a-ma-jigs that are also Buy One Get One.


I thought that they were kind of weird at first, but my 6 month old LOVES it.  My husband and I find ourselves emulating it to our son and he even loves that! 

The Body Shop FREE SHIPPING and 5% Back

Right now at The Body Shop they are offering free shipping with NO minimum!  You can get some of their "final sale" items awfully cheap!  The mini duo above is only $2.50!  Go through EBATES and get 5% back!

FREE PRESCRIPTION GLASSES!!! Hurry!

Coastal Contacts is offering free glasses today!  There are only 1,000 left, so HURRY!  You need to have your glasses prescription on hand, but they double check with your doctor.  I did this a few weeks back and I LOVE my glasses.  When I got my eyes checked recently the doctor said that my frames were great and he hadn't seen any like them before!

*  Like Coastal Contacts on facebook for the fine print
* Go to www.coastalcontacts.com and select the frames you want (frames not eligible will be clearly marked)

10% off at Best Buy!

Print THIS in-store coupon to save 10% on TONS of things!  Expires 2/21/11.

SNAPFISH 20 Free Photo Cards!

About 5 months ago Snapfish offered 20 free photo cards, which I promptly took advantage of to make announcement cards for my new kiddo.  It was GREAT.  I made an adorable card with three photos of him and all of the details.  The only cost was $5.99 shipping (they won't let you use this deal and in-store pick up).  If you are looking for some creative thank yous, announcement cards, or getting a REALLY early start on your Christmas cards, then create and add a set of 4x8 photo cards (they HAVE to be 4x8 fyi) and use Coupon Code NEWMOMMY!

E-Couponing for the Lazy :)

You may have heard, if you haven't noticed, that grocery prices are up.  It's no surprise really, in the perfect storm of a bad economy, it was bound to happen!  I think that between high unemployment and less pay, that couponing has become more popular lately, but with an increase in grocery prices maybe even those most opposed to clipping will turn to e-coupons, such as Cellfire and Kroger Digital Coupons to save money. 

If you are unfamiliar with Cellfire or Kroger Digital Coupons, they are websites that allow you to "upload" coupons to your grocery savings cards.  I shop frequently at Kroger, but you can check with your grocer and see if they have a similar website.  Cellfire, however, caters to customers at several different grocery chains.  I really like checking these sites before heading to the store because you can often find savings on the items that are already on your list and you don't have to clip a thing (just click!) or remember to give anything to the cashier, except your grocery savings card (like a Kroger Plus Card).

UPDATE:  Today is a great day to sign up for Cellfire.  They are offering extra "coupons" toward anything at your grocer.  I happened to get a high value coupon of $2!!!  Ya Cellfire!
