MojoSavings has a great photo tip:
Michaels 40% Off one item coupon.
Get 6 free products from Vistaprint in time for Father’s Day. Select a photo flipbook, t-shirt, mug, mouse pad, magnets or calendar- all for free! The products are free, just pay shipping and processing.
Do you know a young animal lover? Get a year subscription to Ranger Rick or Your Big Back Yard magazine for $10 with this Mamapedia deal.
Under the 2011 Barnes & Noble Summer Reading program kids earn one free book when they read 8 other ones. The program provides them with a reading journal to record their progress. When they turn in this journal they get to pick one free book from a list of options. Plus parents are entered for a chance to win a Nook for each journal submitted. The submission period is 5/24-8/6.
Just a heads up on Vons! I went there the other day with a stack of manufacturer coupons for various snack foods and cereals, all on sale. I filled my cart! At checkout I was informed that Vons policy is now to accept only TWO of the same coupon. This was after all the items were rung up and bagged, so we had to dig through our bags and remove items. Thankfully, it was late at night and there was no one behind me in line! the cashier would not let me use the the coupons for a second transaction, either!
I ended up visiting another store and purchasing more, but the 2 coupon limit is a real pain! It means if you really want to stock up and you have 5 of the same coupon, you are going to have to make 3 separate trips to the store. I really don't get it. The store gets paid by the manufacturer for the coupons, so they are not losing anything. Are they afraid someone will empty their shelves all at once? Highly unlikely, unless Extreme Couponing is planning to film in Escondido.
Now if you have 3 coupons for the same item, but they are different coupons (ie. one is a $1/1 and 2 are .75/1 coupons) you are OK. The limit is on identical coupons. Also, be warned that Vons will double your coupon up to $1 (if it's a .55 coupon, the computer will "double" .45 to equal $1) but only on the first coupon.
Couponing is getting more complicated. Stay on your toes!
Finally, here is some free stuff I got in the mail. I'm going to give the Wood magazines to my neighbor who has a woodworking hobby, and the Glamour for my daughter who is in beauty school. I love the cosmetic and laundry samples for traveling--and I will be traveling quite a bit this summer!

Quick Pics!
I relaxed (as much as a mom can) over the Easter weekend. Taking a break from shopping this week, and going out of town next weekend.
I did have Staples Rewards burning a hold in my pocket, though, so I stopped by today when I was nearby. I got this stuff for FREE:
I still have $10 rewards left, but they don't expire until June 30, and I returned 2 ink cartridges today, so I'll have $4 more coming next month.
Here's what came in the mail in the past week:

| I have always wanted one of those windshield thingys...just never wanted to pay $10 for one! Treklet ran out of glitter glue last week, and I had my eye on that multitool for a while. I had planned on using rewards on it since I first saw it.This stuff was worth $26 and i paid ZERO. the only thing I would have paid for if I had to is the glitter glue. That's how moms are. |
Here's what came in the mail in the past week:
