I feel so grateful to Jamie from Jamie is a Money Magnet and Rebecca from Living on the Coast for giving me a Lemonade award. That is soooo cool! Thank you!

The Lemonade Award is given by a previous winner to 10 people who have shown a great attitude or gratitude this week. It’s a great way to show these people that you appreciate them. Now I am supposed to pass it along but it appears everyone under the sun has already gotten one of these….LOL. So guess what I am keeping it…hee hee hee.

Unfortunately I don’t see a whole lot of great deals this week. I do see a few interesting ones I plan to check out though ;)

Make sure to save the coupon to get a $25 gift card for transferred prescription out of the flyer. Never hurts to have one handy!

Thanks HCW for their wonderful coupon database.

I see some pretty good deals this week…especially the Huggies (mainly because I need them…lol). One deal that caught my eye was the men’s or women’s fragrance with a savings of $7.00 each – $14.99 retail, which makes them $7.99 each. The reason it caught my eye was because it shows pictures of Ralph Lauren Romance (my fav) and Armani Gio, these are $40 perfumes. I have no idea if these two are actually included (I hope so) but I will DEFINITELY be checking when I go in. If so then that is a REALLY good deal!

Thanks to HCW for their coupon database and to I Heart CVS for the scans.

I LOVE Lancome, but unfortunately can’t afford it, so I always look for samples and other good deals or hope my sis will hook me up at Chrismas…LOL. Right now you can get the deluxe sample kit pictured above free with ANY purchase and free shipping on ANY purchase using coupon code WINTERTREAT. You also get another deluxe sample of your choice when you check out – 6 samples total. If you check out using Ebates you get an additional 6% cash back. So here is what I plan to do…

1. Goto Ebates and select Lancome from the drop down list
2. Add a eye pencil sharpener to my cart $6.50 – cheapest thing I could find
3. Add code WINTERTREAT to add deluxe sample kit and free shipping
4. Check out for $6.50
5. Get my 6% cash back from Ebates = $.37
6. 6 samples for $6.00 & eye pencil sharpener!

Included in the deluxe sample kit:
High resolution collaser-5X
Mascara Definicil in Black
Color Design Eye shadow quad
Absolute Premium Bx cream
Color Design Lipcolor in All done

Also choose an additional sample:
Primordiale Eye Skin Recharge Sample
Absolue Ultimate Bx Serum Sample
Définicils Pro High Definition Mascara Sample
Color Design Lipcolor in Backstage Beauty

You end up with 6 large samples and a new eye pencil sharpener for $6.00 including shipping. You can’t even buy samples off ebay that cheap.

UPDATED

Amazon has a GREAT sale on groceries right now. There is a new coupon code that takes 40% off all purchases. If you sign up for “Subscribe and Save” you get an additional 15% off and free shipping. “Subscribe and Save” is a program where they automatically ship you items every few months…it can be cancelled at any time! They have pop tarts for $1 a box, pasta mixes for $.80, 100 Calorie packs for $1 a box….REALLY GREAT PRICES!!!!

The prices you see do not reflect the 40% off that will come off when you add the code. Also remember these are for LARGE packages, usually 12 counts. There are about 500 items included….WOW!!!

Here is what you do…

1. Click this link – All Grocery Sales
2. Select one item or a few
3. Add it to your cart, make sure to select subscribe and save to get an additional 15% off and free shipping
4. Enter coupon code DISCNT4O to save 40%
5. Add all the items you want and check out
6. Go to manage account and cancel subscribe and save – this will not affect your current order!

This is a really great deal for groceries…especially the ones you don’t have to go to the store for…LOL. I will update this post in a while when I have time to find items but I am hanging with the boy now ;O) Sorry everyone he comes first :)

I don’t know about you but I can ALWAYS use a $100 gift card to Walmart. There is a new program that if you request a gold kit and send in some old gold, you get a $100 gift card plus cash for the gold! Click the image about to request your packet…no obligation!!!

Many of you have asked how I always save $5 off $50 purchases at Publix….this little book is how! The Entertainment books are full of coupons and discounts for local stores/restaurants/etc. They can save you money on just about everything.

One of the best coupons in the book is $5/$50 coupon for grocery stores. Each book has 12 of these, $60 total savings. In the Tampa edition the store is U-Save but since Publix takes competitor coupons you can use them at Publix. My last book had coupons for Albertsons, but I always used those at Publix too. Of course the grocery store will vary depending on where you live.

I have already used all the coupons out of my old book so I went looking for a new one. Currently they are 35% off, making them $16 for me, this also depends on where you live. For me it pays for itself after just three trips. The best thing is that coupons do not expire for almost 2 years, for example…the coupons in my current 2008 book don’t expire until late 2009.

Click the image above and enter your zip code. Check out the coupons/discounts in the book offered for your area to make sure it is worth it for you. If you can’t use the grocery coupons it may not be worth it, but if you can…it is totally worth it!

HOW TO SAVE EVEN MORE ON THIS BOOK!!!!
If you have an Ebates account you can get $6.00 cash back on purchasing this book, which makes it $10.00 (for me). To make it even better if you DON’T have an account (or have another email you can use…lol) you can get a $5.00 bonus for your first purchase by signing up, which makes the book $5.00 total!!!!

Click HERE to sign up for Ebates. Ebates is a great program that offers you cash back for online purchases. I have been a member for over a year now and I HIGHLY recommend it, this is a great program!

***I posted this forever ago, but I figured everyone probably forgot ;)
