Free Amazon downloads

Amazon is offering free Christmas music. The first is a sampler of six songs to enjoy for free. The second is for an ENTIRE Veggie Tales Album!!! You have to download them individually, but that's 22 Christmas songs for free...not too shabby! Happy listening!

Coupon Preview

I've been debating how many papers to buy this weekend. You can check out coupon previews here. I think I'll buy more than previously thought. You can go here to see what others have been buying, a great way to get ideas!

According to the previews we are getting coupons for more Krusteaz which means FREE cookie dough. There are also see Cesar treat coupons for those of you with canine friends.
AND Nivea Lip care bogos (these are on the mega deal for $1.50 AFTER mega at Kroger)! Looks like a busy Kroger mega week.

25 Days of Christmas = 125 Disney Movie Rewards Points

I'm often asked how I get such great Disney coupons...well, Disney Movie Rewards! I enter codes from movies I purchase, get credit for movies seen in the theater, and FREE points from ABC Family's 25 days of Christmas.
Disney Movie Rewards are offering the free 125 points like last year. If you go the ABC Family everyday and scroll down toward the bottom of the page, you will see a little logo for Disney Movie Rewards. Click that and it will allow you to log into your account and earn 5 bonus points. Codes will be good only for that day, so you will need to log in daily to earn the full 125 points.

Fine print: Codes posted Monday through Thursday valid 9:00 AM PT – 8:59 AM PT. Codes posted Friday valid 9:00 AM PT through Monday 8:59AM PT. Limit one code per member account per day. Must be a Disney Movie Rewards member. Promotion ends 12/25/10

Another Pampers Code

Add DEC2010FACEBOOK to your account for another 10 points! Even if you don't have kids, you can rack some serious points and earn some FREE stuff!!

It's amazing how many Pampers Gift to Grow points you can earn without buying ANYTHING!
If you have not joined, what are you waiting for?  They are giving so many free points you are bound to get enough for some goodies.
I have two extra accounts that have over 500 points! Remember, not all the prizes are for kids. For only 600 points, you can get 25 personalized 4x8 photo cards from Shutterfly. Don't tell anyone, but this is one way I get a lot of FREE Christmas gifts!

You can always check out Retail Me Not to find other codes. Here are some promotional codes over the last two months that might still be active:

12 Days of Whataburger

If you have not yet signed up for the 12 days of Whataburger, you might want to do so soon.  Today, the coupon was for a free taquito (between 6-10am) just for signing up and printing the coupon.  Yum!

$10 off pictures with Santa

If you are planning on getting your kiddos picture with Santa this year, you might want to head over to Groupon.  Right now, they are offering a Groupon for $10 to have a visit with Santa and you will get 3 pictures (1 5x7 and 2 3x5).  This is available at 7 area malls so odds are you are close to one of the locations.   This is a $23 value, so you will be saving $13 by purchasing this Groupon.  You will have until December 22nd to use your certificate.

$10 off $10 at Hallmark

Head on over HERE to print a coupon for $10 off when you spend $10 at Select Hallmark Gold Crown Stores. I’m thinking FREE Wrapping Paper or Christmas cards!!!

Great deal on Leap Frog Tag Books

This requires a little leg work, but it's a great deal. I can't post a pic as I don't need one Jakey Pierce to see :)

Target has all Leap Tag books, Buy One, Get One Free!  Select titles will be on price cut for $9.99.  Others will be #13.99.  Tag Jr. books are excluded.  The only part that’s even a tiny bit tricky will be whether or not your store allows you to use two coupons on a Buy One, Get One Free purchase.  Stores should allow it, but even if they don’t, it’s still a great deal!
All Leapfrog Tag storybooks, start at $9.99
Buy 1, Get 1 Free

Cheap Candy at CVS

I tried to do this tonight but I couldn't find my coupons QUICKLY and I didn't want to be late for day care pick up. Here's what you do:

You need to purchase 3 in order to stack your coupons. Scan your CVS card at the coupon machine. It should print a $1/2 Nestle fun size candy. You can stack the $1/3 IP or you can use 3 .50 peelies found on larger bags of Nestley candy. I can't find the link for the IP right now. Sorry :(

Your total should come out to .52 for 3 packs of candy. I'll try again tomorrow!

Pretty good run at Randall's

Had a pretty good trip to Randall's today. I'm still trying to figure it all out, but here goes.

2 Chex Mix: $2.55 BOGO - 4 .50 ecpn - 2 .50 IP = -1.45

4 Progresso: $3.96 - 5 .50 ecpn - $1/4 IP = .46
This could have been better if I had used 2 .50/2 b/c they would have doubled saving me an extra $1.

Activia: $1.88 - .75 ecpn - $1 catalina = .13

Jimmy Dean Sausage:  $9.96 - 2 $1/1 from facebook - 2 $1.50/2 cpn = $4.96

Total OOP = $2.53

Printing Coupons

One of the things that took me a while to figure out was the actual printing of coupons. Save yourself a lot of frustration...only print using firefox! Do not coupon using Internet Explorer! After your coupons print, click the arrow back button, select Resend, and you can have a 2nd.

Prior to printing, you will be required to install Coupon Printer for Windows. This just keeps us all honest. You can only print 2 copies of most coupons. If you have more than one computer, you can get a few extra. Please do not Xerox copy your coupons. These are illegal!

Happy printing!

My first official post

I know I already put this on facebook. I've been wanting to start a blog for a while and you've gotta start somewhere.

Here's what I did:

The Science Diet is from PetSmart. It was priced $9.99. You can wait for a sale and find it cheaper. There is an $8 IP making the dog food $2.15.

The dog treats are from coupons that were about to expire so you may not have them. You may only be able to get the Target coupons.

Beggin' Strips at Target are $2.34 - two $1/1 IP - $4/4 = $3.36 for four bags.

The Busy Bone were $2.96 - 4 BOGO when you buy Beggin' Strips making them free.

So $2.15 + $3.36 (+tax) = about $5
