Game Day Packs

With the weather turning warmer, sporting events return. Like probably many of you, my son is involved in sports. This means I will have a turn in taking a snack to the field for the players. I often scramble at the last minute to pull something together. Well this year our atheletic oranization is offering a solution as a fundraiser. This year our fundraiser are "Game Day Packs". The packs include:

• 12 Powerades
• 12 Kraft Food Snacks
• 4 Coupons - 10% Off Lowes Foods Groceries
• Additional coupons to participating companies

All packaged in a convient box with a handle. Keep in mind you can use the Lowes grocery coupons at many of the competing grocery stores in our area (Harris Teeter, Bi-Lo). It's a great deal and you support a great organization.

If you are here local in the Charlotte area and interested in purchasing one or more than one, you can order online at this link. They will email you when the packs are in for your to pick up.

Gas Coupon

I was catching up with one of my favorite blogs Hip2Save. And I found a post about a $2 off $10 Murphy's Gas Coupon! The Murphys gas stations are usually at Wal-Mart, in fact there is one by the Wal-Mart Supercenter at the Galeria near Sardis Rd. N. You can find a Murphy's Gas Station near you here.

Ebates cash back craze

Awhile back I told you about a great site for online ordering rewards, Ebates. Well I got an email that they are offer 20% cash back for online orders through Old Navy until 2/4 (Thursday)!!! So head on over to Ebates and set up an account. Please put my email Melsie7000@aol.com in the referral box. Once you have an account you can search for Old Navy under stores, follow their link so your Ebates account will be credited and shop away. Don't forget to shop the sale and clearance racks! You may want to jot down the codes out on Retail Me Not here, before you shop as you may be able to stack up some additional savings!

The Children's Place

My sister-in-law told me she stopped in The Children's Place last week and they were having an awesome 3.99 sale. She also had some coupons they had mailed her and got unbelievable savings. Rush on out for some great Fall and Winter clearance finds. You may want to buy the next size up so your child can wear it next year!

Dollar Store Duds

I'll admit I love popping in the dollar store from time to time for some bargain hunting. I recently found multi pack of individual snack packs of Lance peanuts and a case for my sons iPod Nano. There are definitely bargains for the searching in the dollar stores. However it is also full of low quality iems too. I just read an interesting article that was talking about which dollar store items were not good deals after all. From now on you may want to stay away from these dollar store finds:

tools
shampoo
toothpaste
kitty litter scoopers
canned tomatoes
trash bags
zipper baggies
shower liners and hooks
tape
dog leashes

Of course if you shop right and use coupons, some of these items can be purchased for way less than a $1!

Leave a comment and tell me what was your best dollar store find?

Super Doubles @ HT!

I'm not sure how much I will like the Super Double idea. I don't think I will like it as much as Triples. I hope they don't plan on getting rid of Triples for this promotion. I guess time will tell. There are some free things you can pick up. Here is a list from Southern Savers. Another list I found. HCW has a pretty thorough list too. Leave me a comment and let me know what you find!

UPDATE: My sister-in-law called me to tell me that the 20 coupon per day policy is now in effect. HT changed their computers on 6/1 to recognize when the 20 per day limit was reached. No more multiple trips in one day. :( There must be too many people couponing!

JC Penney Coupons

I got an email from JC Penney with a link to coupons. $15 off $75 or $10 off $50 purchase. Got get Dad some shirts or new shoes for Father's Day.

HT evic special through 3/17

Chocolate Soup Savings

Chocolate Soup (a great children's clothing store near Southpark) is having a sale.

Plus they emailed me an extra 20% off coupon. Email me at Melsie7000@aol.com if you would like me to send you the coupon too!

Talbots Outlet Pre-Holiday Sale

Talbot's Outlet is having a sale. We have a store in the Charlotte area. It's in the University area across the street from CMC-University. They often have some great clearance deals. Currently they are offering up to 75% off their clearanced merchandise.

If you can't make it out the store, check them out online.

All You Magazine

Have you read All You magazine? It's a great magazine that always has tons of coupons in it. Not only is it great for all the coupons, they actually have some good articles and recipes in it so I really enjoy reading it before I cut out all the Q's! The only place I know that you can purchase the magazine is in Wal-Mart for 1.97, but if you subscribe you can get it for less than that an issue.

Right now they are offering a promotion and for every two people that sign up under me they will add an extra issue to my subscription. So if you think you would be interested in subscribing add your name and email to this link and they will email you their subscription offer.

Black Friday!

I wanted to let you know about a couple of great links I've found to check out the ads for the day after Thanksgiving a little early. Use these ads to plan what you will go ahead and buy and what you will wait to get after Thanksgiving.

Black Friday Blog
HCW (every store has a link to the black Friday ads)
Black Friday Info
Black Friday.net

Plan on getting up very early on Friday and bring an extra dose of patience with you while you shop as I'm sure this year will be more crowded than ever with people looking for deals. I usually go every year and I've always found it worth it as I save so much. Besides you can go home by lunchtime and take a good long nap!

Christmas shopping & Voting

Handpicked is having a sale, why not start Christmas shopping after you vote?

Super Doubles @ KMart

KMart is having super double coupons this week! They will double coupons up to $2 face value, with a max of 75 per day. They will NOT double internet printable coupons (IP), so start going through your regular coupons.
There are quite a few posts on HCW in the KMart forum. I think I will go through my binder tonight and head over there tomorrow to see if I can find any deals. If I do I'll let you know what I find and if you see any let me know!

UPDATE I went to the one in Monroe today. They were stalked ok, but I noticed a few things they were out of. In my opinion the store's prices were extremely high even more than HT! I did find a few things but I mostly used coupons that were tearpad or home mailers so if you don't have them you may want to just skip it and wait for triples at HT. I did not use any coupons that you had to buy two or more products as I have read there have been problems with those. Here is what I got for $15.80 (my subtotal before q's was 66.61):

2-Loreal eye shadow singles 3.49 B1G1
$1 8/17RP (use two q's) =FREE

1-No Nonsense body shaper 6.49
$2 peelie on the package =2.49

4-Energizer Max batteries 4.19 (AAA&AA) 9V were $6 and I needed those!
$2 tearpad q (found in FL awhile back)= .19

2-Dove Color Treated shampoo & conditioner 3.79
$2 10/12RP = FREE

1-Bic twin select razors 2.99
$2 10/12SS = FREE

2-Pepcid Max 8 ct. 4.99
$2 8/24RP= .99

1-Lysol kitchen cleaner 2.79
$1 from hangtag on toilet bowl cleaner awhile back = .79

1-Ziploc vacuum pump 3.99
$2 Oct All You = FREE

1-Ziploc vacuum pump refill bags 2.79
$1 Oct All You = .79

3-Greased Lightening 2.99
$1.50 Oct All You = FREE

1-Nestle Crunch bars 1.67
$1 home mailer from Nestle = FREE

1-Ragu 1.99
$.75 Home mailer = .49

1-Toll House cookies 3.49
$1 home mailer from Nestle = 1.49

OK Now I'm behind on my Walgreens, CVS & Rite Aid posts (BTW Rite AId has some great freebies this week). I'll try to get them done between now and Wed!

If you went to KMart, how'd you do? Post a comment and let me know!

Great Magazine Discounts

I got this great magazine deal emailed to me from the All You publishers. I wish I could take advantage of the savings, especially Southern Living as it is a steal, but we are cutting back so no extra spending for me. Maybe this would help one of you. Here is the link. The offer ends 12/11/08. Happy Reading!
