Snapfish: 99 Prints for $0.99!

Snapfish is offering 99 4x6 prints for $0.99! Just use coupon code 2011PENNY at checkout. You do have to pay for shipping (in-store pickup isn't available with the coupon code), but that still makes each print around $0.07 which is a pretty good deal! This will be perfect for those with tons of Christmas pictures (I am such a slacker; I don't have ANY pictures from Christmas morning this year; not one!).

New Wet Ones Coupon!

Go here and click on the blue "Get A Coupon" button to print a $1/1 Wet Ones coupon (expires 2/27/11). Don't forget to hit your Back button to print two copies! This will hopefully score us some cheap or FREE wipes in the near future!

Organizing for 2011

We've been buried in the post-Christmas clutter for the past few days, and it's really getting on our nerves. Nate did a clean sweep last night (which was so kind of him!) that definitely helped the situation, but it has got me thinking about organizing my household better plus organizing records and coupons in a more efficient way. To assist with that, I found a spreadsheet here that I'm going to try starting January 1. The last time I tried using a savings-tracker spreadsheet I got really overwhelmed and discouraged. This one looks like it's a little easier to use than the last one I tried, so I'm hoping it will work for me. I also stumbled on a new way to organize coupons that I'd like to try, especially since I'll be getting the Sunday paper for the next six months (thank you, Mom!). I love the thought of having a list of which coupons are in my binder so I don't have to try to remember. The Boise, Idaho list on Fabulessly Frugal was very similar to what we got in Sheridan, so I just changed a few things so it would be accurate for me. I'm excited to get started on better organization for the new year!

Amazon: Starbucks Coffee for $3.25!

Go here and select one of the special Starbucks Fusion two-packs on sale for $13.00. At checkout, enter code FUSIONC5 (takes of $5) and code STARBUK3 (takes off $1.50). Your total should be $6.50 for two packages of Starbucks coffee! I also signed up for Amazon Mom which gave me FREE 2-day shipping! You can read all about Amazon Mom in Collin at Hip2Save's post here. Also, I know that usually you can take your empty Starbucks coffee bag into a Starbucks and get a FREE drink, so that makes this deal even sweeter!

(Thanks, Hip2Save)

New $2 MP3 Credit at Amazon!

Yay! The last FREE $2 credit didn't work for me, but this one did! Just go here and enter code GIVEMP3S to instantly score $2 to spend on music! Keep in mind that you have to use it by 12/26. I used mine right away and snagged "Carol of the Bells/Sing We Now of Christmas" by BarlowGirl and "Chesnuts Roasting on an Open Fire" by Chris Rice. And, if you're looking for a really inspirational Christmas song, I have to recommend "Hallelujah" by BarlowGirl (I'm actually NOT a fan of BarlowGirl, but they happen to have a couple excellent Christmas songs). We bought this song last year after Nate heard it on the radio, and if it doesn't give you goosebumps while contemplating Christ's love and sacrifice for us, I don't know what will.

FedEx Woes

Okay, so today I'm a little ticked at FedEx (even though it's not really their fault). I signed up for NCP online (a survey group) a while ago, and a couple weeks ago I got an email that I was chosen to receive a scanner to scan my grocery purchases for their surveys. I've been excitedly waiting for it ever since. Well, when I tracked the package yesterday, it was supposed to be delivered today. Usually FedEx delivers early in the morning, so I waited and waited expecting it any minute. Finally, at about 10:30 I left to make another Albertsons trip. When I got back at 11:20, I found a slip on the door that FedEx had tried to deliver it at 11:15. Grrr! I was only gone for 50 minutes all day, and can you believe I missed them by 5 minutes?!?! The package requires a signature, so now I have to wait until tomorrow. Bummer. I think I need to go get a Blizzard to cheer me up. :)

Today Show Steals & Deals

The Today Show has some Steals & Deals available here. I just bought this down-alternative comforter in khaki/stone (with Christmas money, of course) for $28.30 total including shipping and tax. We've been so cold this winter, and I can't wait to try out the new comforter!

(Thanks, Hip2Save)

$2 Amazon MP3 Credit!

Yay! Go here and enter the code MP3GIFTS to get a FREE $2 Amazon MP3 credit! This credit must be used between 12/23-12/26. I'm going to go write it on my calendar so I don't forget. :)

(Thanks, Hip2Save)

Albertsons Doubler Mania!

Albertsons was AMAZING today! Unfortunately, all the free doublers they have at the checkstands were gone (I think the whole town must have shopped yesterday), but there were a few weekend papers left with doublers inside, so I bought 3. Here's what each item cost me:

2 CPK individual pizzas - $0.50 each (used 2 $1/1 from 12/5 SS and 2 doublers) - then I got back a $1.00 catalina for buying 2 CPK items, so they were essentially FREE!

1 Bestlife buttery spread - FREE (used $1/1 from here and 1 doubler)

8 Campbell's cooking soups - $0.09 each (used 2 $1/4 no longer available and 2 doublers)

4 Cool Whip - FREE (used 2 $1/2 from here and 2 doublers)

1 gallon of 2% milk with 1 Nabisco go cup - $1.59 for both (used $1 off when you buy a gallon of milk and Nabisco cookies tearpad coupon and 1 doubler)

1 gallon of 1% milk with 1 Nabisco go cup - $0.99 for both (used $1 off when you buy a gallon of milk and Nabisco cookies tearpad coupon and 1 doubler)

I only wish I could get my hands on some more doublers (without having to spend $1 for a newspaper) because there's so much more I'd like to get! I love stocking up (as much as possible) on milk when there's doublers, and I could have also scored FREE cream cheese, cheap Chex, cheap snack crackers, cheap Dannon yogurt, and cheap Swanson's broth if I'd had more doublers, but I only bought the most important items.

(Thanks, Krazy Coupon Lady and Fabulessly Frugal for coupon links and ideas)

New Mini-Wheats Coupon!

Go here to print a $1.00/1 Frosted Mini-Wheats (14.5 oz. or larger, any flavor) coupon! These often go on sale for $2.50, so potentially $0.50 at Albertsons with doublers. Hurry and print this one before it's gone!

(Thanks, Krazy Coupon Lady)

Doublers at Albertsons!

Yay! We're getting doublers this week that are valid from 12/19-12/24! I didn't buy a paper this week in the hope that they will have the doublers at the register like they usually do.

(Thanks, Krazy Coupon Lady)

$2/1 Glad Trash Bags Coupon

Go here to score a $2/1 (no size restrictions!) Glad trash bags coupon! I'm really excited about this coupon since we started buying the brand name bags after too much cheap bag breakage. :)

(Thanks, Hip2Save)

Starbucks Natural Fusions FREE Sample

Go here to snag a FREE sample of Starbucks Natural Fusions coffee. Looks yummy (if you like coffee)! :)

Safeway Daily Deals

Safeway is having a deal of the day each day until December 24. Today's deal is a 5 lb. bag of Safeway flour for $0.59 (limit 2)! Since my stock-up price on flour is $0.99, I'll definitely be stopping at Safeway today for two bags of flour. Tomorrow's deal is Safeway chocolate chips for $0.99 (limit 2). I plan to use two $0.50/1 Safeway baking chips coupons from the Safeway Thanksgiving Booklet and get two bags for $0.49 each! I will have to remember, though, to purchase them in separate transactions because Safeway will only take 1 of their coupons per transaction.

Crazy Good Walgreens Moneymaker!!

Okay, so I just saw this on Hip2Save, and I'm so wishing it wasn't naptime and that I could run down to Walgreens right now! Apparently, the Hallmark tissue paper is triggering the RR, and it's also on sale for 3/$1 with in-ad coupon! So this is what I plan to do (once naptime is over):

Buy 6 Hallmark White Tissue Paper (20 ct) $0.99 each

Total = $5.94

Use the 3/$1 In Ad coupon (will deduct $3.94)

Pay $2 (+ tax)

Get back a $5 RR

Final cost FREE + a $3 moneymaker!

The in-ad coupon is on page 15 of the regular weekly ad, but you can also print it off here. I'm really stoked for this deal because I always need more tissue paper for gifts, especially at Christmastime!

(Thanks, Hip2Save)

50 FREE Prints at Snapfish!

I just kind of stumbled on a great deal at Snapfish! I've been looking around for the cheapest place to order prints of our family Christmas picture to put in our Christmas cards, and before I placed an order at Snapfish for Walgreens in-store pickup I thought I'd check out Retailmenot.com to see if they had any coupon codes. Well, I came across HPINK50 which entitled me to 50 FREE prints plus FREE shipping! Yay! Unfortunately I'll have to wait 3-5 business days + processing time, but hopefully I'll have the pictures by next week sometime so I can get our cards sent out. Even if the pictures take too long to get here, I paid nothing for them, so it's no loss either way!

Rare Egg Coupon Available Again!

Go here to once again print a coupon for $0.55/2 one-dozen cartons of eggs! Too bad my printer is out of ink, so I'll miss out on this one. Last week I was able to use the one I had printed earlier to get 2 dozen eggs for $0.99 at Safeway!

(Thanks, Hip2Save)

Walgreens Goodies

I made a quick trip to Walgreens tonight to scoop up some FREE stuff, and here's what I brought home: 12 Snickers Nutracker singles (used 2 $2.00/3 Mars candy coupons from the 12/5 RP) and 2 $0.99 each Hallmark cards which then printed a $2RR! The Snickers are priced 3 for $1 this week, and the Hallmark RR deal wasn't advertised in the store, but it did work out right. I've been riding the "FREE stuff" high all evening! :)

New $10 off $10 at JCPenney.com!

I just placed an order at JCPenney.com using coupon code 4T4T4T, and it took $10 off my order of $10.99! I ordered a pair of workout capris for myself and a pair of (rather ugly, actually) capris for Abby. If you want want to take advantage of this offer, do so quickly, because this code might not be active for long.

(Thanks, Hip2Save)

Remember the $10 off $10 or more at Hallmark coupon I posted about here? Well, the girlies and I bundled up after naps yesterday and made our way to the Hallmark store (which, by the way, is a great little store, but it's very hard to find a good parking space...however, this time the Lord gave us a nice spot right in front! Yay for small blessings!). We found this pumpkin Thanksgiving decoration on the 75% off rack and bought a box of Christmas cards which was 50% off. After calculating all discounts and the coupon (and not including tax), we paid $0.24! If we had purchased these at regular price without a coupon (and who in the world would do that? :), they would have cost $32.98!
