My Favorite Day of the Year is Coming!!!

Okay, so maybe I'm exaggerating just a bit. Certainly Jesus' birthday and the 4th of July must top it but hey, I really look forward to July 9th.  Do you know what happens on July 9th? 

It's dress like a cow day and get FREE Chick Fila!  I love this day so much that I dressed my trio up in cow costumes for lunch (FREE!) and then again for dinner.  Even hubby dressed up for dinner.  Really, can you beat two free Chick Fila meals?  It's by far my favorite restaurant and it tastes even better when it's free.

Get those costumes together and hit the local Chick Fila for at least one free meal!

Alert! Kellogg’s Cereal Recall!

Our family goes through cereal like it is going out of style!  And Kellogg's has recently had some great sales/deals.  All of our stash is already gone (just finished the last Pops this morning) but this post from Bargain Briana, certainly caught my attention. Kellogg’s has identified a substance in the package liners that can produce an uncharacteristic waxy-like off taste and smell. Kellogg’s claims the potential for serious health problems is low but that you should not eat the recalled products because of temporary symptoms such as nausea and diarrhea.

The recall includes Froot Loops, Apple Jacks, Corn Pops, and Honey Smacks that have been sold around the country. Only products with the letters “KN” following the words “better if used before date” are included in the recall. If you have any of these cereals in your home, call Kellogg’s at 888-801-4163 for a replacement coupon.  Check out the Alert from Kelloggs here.


Here are some more details:
Kellogg’s Apple Jacks
UPC 3800039136 1: 17 ounce package with Better if Used Before Dates between APR 10 2011 and JUN 22 2011
UPC 3800039132 3: 8.7 ounce packages with Better if Used Before Dates between JUN 03 2011 and JUN 22 2011

Kellogg’s Corn Pops
UPC 3800039109 5: 12.5 ounce packages with Better if Used Before Dates between MAR 26 2011 and JUN 22 2011
UPC 3800039111 8: 17.2 ounce packages with Better if Used Before Dates between MAR 26 2011 and JUN 22 2011
UPC 3800039116 3: 9.2 ounce packages with Better if Used Before Dates between APR 05 2011 and JUN 22 2011

Kellogg’s Froot Loops
UPC 3800039118 7: 12.2 ounce packages with Better if Used Before Dates between MAR 26 2011 and JUN 22 2011
UPC 3800039120 0: 17 ounce packages with Better if Used Before Dates between MAR 26 2011 and JUN 22 2011
UPC 3800039125 5: 8.7 ounce packages with Better if Used Before Dates between MAR 26 2011 and JUN 22 2011

Kellogg’s Honey Smacks
UPC 3800039103 3: 15.3 ounce packages with Better if Used Before Dates between MAR 26 2011 and JUN 22 2011

If you have any of these contaminated boxes please don't eat them, and call 888-801-4163 for a replacement coupon.

Caregivers Marketplace

There is a Caregivers Marketplace link listed on our mail-in rebates page.  But I have been meaning to write an actual post about this program.  What a great reminder; this week I received a $10 check from them!    And with the great deal on Cottonelle I got via Medco, I have another one coming soon.  Here is a brief description from their website:

The Caregivers Marketplace™ is the nation's first cash back program for anyone who gives, gets or needs care. You can receive cash back on eligible products that are not typically covered by insurance or Medicare - no matter where you buy them. Our program is free and your information is always kept confidential.

Some products that are include are Cottonelle wipes (that is how I earned $10!), Cortizone creams, Balmex and IcyHot.  Download the rebate form, send it in (with receipts) and wait for your check!

P&G; eSaver Coupons are Back!

P&G eSaver coupons are back!  I just got an e-mail to confirm.  These are ecoupons (like cellfire and shortcuts) that are loaded right onto your shoppers card.  Go to the eSaver site to register. Another reason to shop Kroger affiliate stores!

"Dear Mary,

Beginning June 25, P&GeSAVER coupons can be downloaded to shopper cards for your favorite retailers.

Redeem the current coupons by June 30. Then, look for the next set of P&GeSAVER coupons, available July 1 through August 31.

We value your loyalty to P&GeSAVER, and we are excited to keep delivering the savings you deserve!

Thank you,
The P&GeSAVER Team"

Medco Deals

You (like me, Kristy) may have missed that amazing deal that Mary scored at Medco.  Well, guess what?  It's not too late to get $10 off $10!  Just use the code FIRST10 and you should do quite well on your first order!

Also, your second order might be well worth your while.  Try TENOFF for very sweet deal.

Thanks Money Saving Mom!

Target Deal!

Free shipping...$6.48 for this Dove gift set, shipped!  Engineer a Debt Free Life suggests that it might be a good gift. I say it might be nice in MY bathroom! Great for travel or anything on the go (my life!!!) this is a great deal. This could even work to bring toiletries to the gym!  Don't forget to go through Ebates so you get 3% cash back. If you aren't a member of Ebates yet, you will also get $5 which practically pays for this gift set. How can you beat that?  Also, don't forget to use coupon code MT9ZC7RW on the Target site.

Ah Yea!!!

hiI love this deal! A year or two ago Pepperidge Farm Goldfish went from $1 a bag to over $2 a bag. I'm a person that could LIVE on those things. I really love them. It's been good for the physique that they are now so expensive. =)

Anyway, Kroger (and all stores in the Kroger family) have these on sale for super cheap this week. Guess what? You can find a coupon for these at Pepperide Farm. If your Kroger store doubles, you might get these FREE!!!

Thanks Money Saving Mom!

TP Equation

Since the very beginning of this blog, you have read about our disdain for having to pay for toilet paper- "flushing our money!".  I was reading a great post on Deal Seaking Mom about how to determine a stock up price on TP.  It works by looking at the square footage. If the price is the same or less than the square footage, you should buy it.  This TP equation was submitted by one of her readers, Beth.  And it really does take the guess work out.  No more calculator in the isle trying to decide if the TP is a good deal.  Of course FREE TP is a no brainer.  Get Marcal at Marc's for FREE.  Check out the post and tell us your thoughts!

FREE Burger at Champps!

We are big fans of Champps.  Hubby affectionately calls it Champ-p-ps because of the 2 p's.

You will be too when you hear the deal they have going right now.  All you have to do is LIKE Champps Americana on Facebook and they will send you a coupon for a FREE burger in the next 7-10 days!  Whoohoo!  So get on over to Facebook and secure your free burger!!!

PS. This offer is good through June 30, 2026 or until Champps reaches 100,000 Facebook fans.

FREE!!! Coppertone Face Sticks!

I totally needed these 2 weeks ago but I'm glad I waited and didn't bite the bullet!

You can find these for free at Target (possibly other stores like Walgreens...let us know what you find!)  if you have the $4 off coupon that was in yesterday's paper (SmartSource)!

The coupon expires June 27, 2026 so you better hurry up with this one!

Thanks My Frugal Adventures

Back on the Coupon Wagon!!!

Tonight was a good one...despite fighting with my WI-FI printer for way too long.  I finally got out the door around 9:30pm and went straight to Target!


At Target:  I bought 3 Evolve Ziplocs @ 1.88 each.  I had 2 coupons totaling $1.40 off.  Could have done much better on this one but note the above mentioned war with technology.  I also bought the Scrubbing Bubbles Extend-a-Clean bottle for more than free.  It was $6.99 and I had $8.00 worth of coupons.
My total at Target was $3.50!!!  Yay!  I did have to explain to the whole "manufacturer coupon" versus the "Target coupon" to the cashier who spoke very little English...and may have been hard of hearing.  All was well though when I paid my $3.50 for 4 items.  To make it even better I will be submitting my 3 Ziploc purchases for a rebate of $5 so I made a $1.50.  Imagine what could have been...if the technology gremlins didn't hate me.

At Walgreens:  Hydro Razor...used a $5 coupon and got $4 in Register Rewards.  Equals FREE!!!

At Meijer:  I purchased $47 worth of cereal, cereal bars, Cheez-its, waffles etc for $24! 

I just love a day like this!  What was your favorite deal this week???
