Home Depot Spring Black Friday Sale!

2011-04-08T10:29:00.000-05:00

So apparently Home Depot is having a Spring Black Friday Sale!

One of the deals they have is in-store and online with free shipping!

Check this out for only $69!!!! AHHHHH!!!

HD Patio Set Deal

They ship it free to your house! How great is that. It looks like it's a nice set and it has good reviews on their site. Wouldn't this look cute on an apartment balcony or as an extra sitting area in your backyard?
I think I'm ordering one today. Don't know how long this deal will last so snap it up soon!
I love black friday...and who knew they'd have one in the Spring?

Save on Cricut Cartridges!

2011-04-08T10:10:00.000-05:00

So if you're like me either you have a Cricut or are seriously pining for one.

{If you don't know what a Cricut is then you need to leave this blog now! Kidding!!}

I begged and begged the hubster three years ago for a Cricut Expression. I bought it off one of those TV ads. And I love it!

Anyway, back to the saving....I found that All Things Cricut has the best prices around (besides ebay and who has time to be constantly checking auctions right?)

They have the cartridges at severely low prices. The best thing about them is that they also sell the cricut machines at a huge discount!! So check them out.

{Here's an example of an awesome deal..Cricut Create for $89.95}

One thing to keep in mind is that when something is sold out it doesn't appear on their webpage anymore. so keep checking back.

I personally can't wait until they offer the Gypsy again. I am saving up to get me that.

To learn all about these amazing machines go to their website at http://www.cricut.com/

but don't buy from there! You'll pay a lot more!

Another place to find awesome deals on Cricut supplies is Amazon.com.

{And if you don't know what Amazon is, then you've been living under a rock and need to visit my blog more often ;)}

They have the sticky mats, blades, etc. I heart Amazon.com

Another cool place I found to save, if your the crafty, scrapbooking type is

http://www.craftysteals.com/

I love their site and if you sign up on their facebook page then you can have all their daily steals on your page and quickly grab them.

Just recently they had the Cricut Magazine (which retails for $15.00 and I paid $8.99, not bad eh?)

So go on over there and get yourself some deals!

It can get addicting!

But don't say I didn't warn you.

P.S. I have not been compensated on this post. I really like these websites :)

Free Chipotle Meal via NBC! Hurry Offer Ends in 7 days!

2011-02-25T15:59:00.001-06:00

Found this via the slickdeals.net forum

CHIPOTLE - Buy one Get one Free - by viewing a 90-second video - Nationwide!!!

NBC is promising today free Chipotle food for anyone who watches a 90-second promo on Facebook for the upcoming show America’s Next Great Restaurant.

The network is launching an app on the show’s Facebook Page where, in exchange for watching the promo, visitors get a buy-one, get-one-free coupon at Chipotle. The chain’s founder and CEO, Steve Ells, is one of four investors in the show.

Customers who print out the coupon can get a free Chipotle meal, including a burrito, tacos or a bowl with the purchase of another meal.

Meanwhile, Chipotle is running an in-store texting promotion offering a chance to get a catered burrito party. Anyone who texts “ANGR” (for America’s Next Great Restaurant) at any Chipotle location will have a chance to win.

An NBC rep says this is the first time the network has used food to get consumers to watch a show promo. Nevertheless, the network has tried other means to instill viewer loyalty. For instance, last year, NBC launched a loyalty program called Fan It that rewards users who promote, interact and discuss NBC shows.

America’s Next Great Restaurant, which premieres March 6, pits 21 contestants against each other as a panel of judges decide whose restaurant concept is the best. The winner gets to “fully savor his/her great American dream of launching his/her own restaurant chain,” according to the NBC rep.

For Chipotle, which does little in the way of traditional advertising, the effort is the latest unconventional use of social media. The chain launched a similarly quirky effort last year encouraging consumers to forward their spam e-mails to benefit a charity offering healthy school lunches to kids.

http://mashable.com/2011/02/24/fr...-facebook/
If you are not on Facebook or if it's blocked at work go directly to this link to view video and get your coupon

Apparently if you wait a few hours or use a different web browser you can score another coupon.
I heart Chipotle.

Jcpenney.com set of TWO Men's Polo's for $7.93 shipped AC (orig 30 each)-others

JCPenney.com Polo Shirts Sale

Jcpenney.com set of TWO Men's Polo's for $7.93 shipped AC (orig 30 each)-others

JcPenney.com has some clearance prices on their polos (which are just over $5 each). I you use the coupon TEN2YOU (thanks gavalily) it will take $10 off in cart, leaving you with a buck or so for each shirt, and $5.95 ship. It is not recommended that you duplicate the order-as Penneys will probably cancel the duplicate. But might be a nice way to get a couple shirts if you need them on the cheap.

You need to have the order over $10 for the coupon to work.

I tested many, but not ALL, so they all in theory should work.

Restaurant.com 70% off

70% off Restaurant.com Certificates. Get $25 GCs for $3 (instead of $10) **starts at midnight tonight (Mon Feb 16)**
** Starts at (or around) midnight Tonight Sun (officially Mon) **www.restaurant.comthe new code is PREZ"It can be used on both of our most popular products, Dinner of the Month Club and our $25 Gift Certificates. This offer is valid February 16th through February 19th!"

If the restaurant you want is sold out, you can still buy a gift certificate for restaurant.com for the deal of $3 and then come back to the site later and redeem it for the restaurant you want. Make sure you read the specs on each restaurant. It's a good deal anyways. The place I like is $50 min, plus 20% tip before discount which is
$50+10 tip+4.12 tax=$64.12 minus -25=$39.12+$3 (cost of gc)=42.12 total cost of dinner which saved me 52%. This is just an example. I have another GC to a restaurant whose min. is only $35!! So I will probably use it there.

I love this store! If you haven't been to this store you are seriously missing out. They have a huge variety of things from groceries to furniture to tools! All at close out prices. Best of all now they have a rewards club you can join at their website and after 10 $20 purchases you get a 20% off coupon for any purchase.
Now THAT is a great deal. They also email you the deal of the day. Be sure to check that out daily in your email box. I love to go down there and browse around. You can always find some cute bags or cards and stock up for those special gift giving occasions. I love BIG LOTS!

Daily Deals from amazon.com

2009-02-05T17:02:00.003-06:00

I decided to add a little widget on this blog to showcase the best deals from amazon.com. If you see something you like and would like to buy at a great deal, click on the image and it will take you right to amazon.com. I love to shop from their site especially for books. But did you know they also have groceries?? Many times I have compared and their prices are even lower than Sam's or Costco and they have free shipping and no taxes!! Don't forget to compare prices but remember to factor in the no taxes on non-food items. (In Texas we don't pay sales taxes on fresh food such as raw veggies, milk, etc.) Check it out!

Food Storage

2009-01-03T00:13:00.003-06:00

Every time I turn the TV on there seems to be something on a show about saving money, spending less, eating in, freecylcing, etc. I think one of the things we spend the most on is eating out and throwing away food. I finally realized earlier this year that in order to save money it is very important to have a meal plan for the week. In addition to playing the grocery game, I also have some food storage. What is food storage you ask? Well, we Mormons believe that we should have about 3 months worth of food to take our family through a tough time. Whether it be loss of a job, illness for the breadwinner or any other major catastrophe, it's important to be prepared. I have been stocking up on as much as possible through our church and through the various sales at the local grocery. I clip coupons every week and then plan my trips to the groceries according to what is on sale and what will give me more bang for my buck. I don't go into a store and look around aisle by aisle. I am in and out. I have my list of sales items that I need, (key word: need) and am stocking up on. I try to buy as much meat and chicken as possible and then put it in my freezer out in the garage. I also stock up on essentials such as toothpaste, deodorant, etc so that when we run out we simply reach into our Tupperware containers to take them out and thus lessening our trips to the store. I have found that we have spent less money on food the past few months than before we started the food storage. I am going to continue to stock up and use what we have instead of running to the store everytime we are out of something (saves on gas as well) If you want to learn about food storage (no you don't have to be a Mormon to do so) you can go here http://www.providentliving.org/channel/1,11677,1706-1,00.html
You can print out the information and start your own food storage too!
If you want to place an order for the food storage kit you can do so and you don't have to be a member of our church. Pass this along to your friends. If you know someone who is Mormon they'll be glad to help you figure out how to get started. If you'd like to you can contact me thru this blog and I'll help you :)
See now isn't that easy?? Savings is my middle name :P

Day After Christmas Sales

2008-12-25T18:27:00.003-06:00

After all the hustle and bustle of the holiday season, one thing I live for is rock bottom pricing! Check out the link (embedded in my title) to see what stores are offering the best clearance prices on holiday decor, seasonal clothing etc. I usually buy all my clothing and my kids' clothing off season. I get them at 70% off or more. The best stores to offer this type of savings are TJ Maxx, Marshall's and Ross. I personally like Marshall's the best. Recently I found some cute purses by Kathy Van Zeeland at $29.99-$39.99.
I can't wait to see what type of deals I can score next :) Happy New Year and happy hunting!

Pampers offer on Amazon

2008-12-02T23:09:00.000-06:00

I copied this directly from slickdeals.net

Pamper Diapers Value Pack $25 after 30%off. Reg. $35 amazon.com
Save up to 30% on Pampers

Hi moms and dads. i thought this is a good deal on the diaper. Please be gentle with me. the best things about this deal is you can cancel the subscribtion anytime. but the promo code for pmprsdo8 which is for the additional 15% is only good through Dec. 1 - Dec. 7. My daughter use size 3 and she is on the light weight side. So i went crazy order 5 boxes. so i calculate it down each diaper will only cost me 17 cents which sounds good to me since you can barely find any coupon out there beside buying off from ebay.

Save 15% today when you buy select Pampers diapers offered by Amazon.com. Use the following promotional code when you check out: PMPRSDO8. Plus, save another 15% when you combine this instant rebate with your Subscribe & Save order--bringing the total savings to 30%. This offer applies only to products offered by Amazon.com and for purchases made between December 1 and December 7, 2008. (A full list of restrictions is listed at the bottom of this page.)

2008-11-29T18:26:00.001-06:00

Ok, I have been extremely busy with family and work and have been slacking off this website. Now that I have more time I will get back to savings and more coupon clipping and will be updating this site as to the local sales at grocery stores.
Stay tuned !

This week Albertson's is having a sale for pints of Blue Bell Gold Rim ice cream for $.88!! That's only $3.53 for 1/2 gallon's worth of ice cream!! We love ice cream at our house, so on Friday I took the whole family and we stocked up. There is a limit of 2 per person, so take your kids and have them each buy 2 at the self check out!! That's how we did it!!
Also, CVS just opened a few blocks from my house and I LOVE CVS!! This week's paper had their sales flyer, when you transfer a prescription from another pharmacy you get a $30 gift card!! You must pick up the sales flyer at their store if you didn't get it in the mail or in your newspaper. Transfer that prescription and get $30 bucks worth of free stuff!! I do it all the time LOL
Also, I bought several packages of Duracell batteries, and when you spend $15 in Duracell Batteries, you get $5. extra care bonus bucks!! I just stocked up for christmas, and they are on sale anyways for $5.99 for an 8 pack of AA. Then I got the $5 ECB to spend on some Bounty Paper towels they have on sale for $6.99. With my $5 bonus bucks I only spent $1.99 on the Bounty 8 pack!! What a deal!
So get out there and look at the great deals CVS has and stock up on essentials for your family especially those that offer Extra Care Bonus Bucks and transfer that prescription!!

SlickDeals

2008-10-18T00:13:00.002-05:00

here's another great website you can visit to get some great deals!

http://www.slickdeals.net/

We found out Wednesday night that starting Thursday, Old Navy was going to have a sale for $1.99 on tanks, polos and shorts for adults. We headed over there on Thursday night and sure enough scored on 10 tanks (perfect for layering), Sergio and I bought some polos for $1.99. It was a great deal.

Don't forget to check my website back often for other links to some great savings resources.
I subscribe to the Dallas Morning news, Sunday edition to get all the coupons. That combined with the grocery game has been saving our family tons of Ca$h.

Happy saving!!

Lots of savings

2008-10-18T00:08:00.003-05:00

During the week I was out of it because of health issues, I clipped lots of coupons and looked for the deals from the Grocery Game. I love it!! It makes it so much easier to just go into a store, get exactly what I need, pay little to nothing and get out.
This past week we got Top Round Sirloin for $1.99 per pound at Tom Thumb. Got some good deals on Scott Tissue and Speed Stick at CVS and three big tubes of Crest toothpaste plus one oral B toothbrush for $2.29 tax included! Now that is a deal. Then the grocery game let us know that Kroger's had their boneless, skinless, chicken breast for $1.69 so we stocked up on that.
Oh, forgot to mention that we got a Freezer for free on freecycle!!
Thanks to the nice older couple who donated it to us!! I totally love it.
I also have joined Frisco online where the posters are having their own freecycle type thing. I received a free bird bath and free brick!! Yes BRICK!! We are going to build a small patio with it. Now we only need to find someone who wants to give away free sand LOL

I love freecycling! My family has saved so much money by doing the freecycling thing and now with the Grocery Game we are doing awesome!

Free Basketball Hoop

2008-10-08T21:05:00.001-05:00

I forgot to post this last time. But I received a free basketball hoop for our driveway. Since we cancelled our gym membership we have to find ways to exercise at home. This can be diffcult working full time with 3 kids. Especially one of my kids who has heart health problems. His cardiologist wants him to exercise every day for at least 30 minutes non stop. We figured he can shoot hoops with mom dad and sis for at least 30 mins. This should serve us all well.

$avings to my family $200 gym membership $140 new basketball hoop with pole.

:D

The Grocery Game

2008-10-08T19:55:00.002-05:00

Last night I was reading in one of the message boards I am a member of how so many people are looking to simpify their life and to save money. It breaks my heart reading post after post of people facing hardships due to job loss, death of a spouse, or just poor money management.
We have all been there. And it this particular message forum we all post different ideas to help each other. One of the ideas was to join something called the grocery game.This was started by a lady who basically likes to save money on groceries. I posted the link above. You can try it for $1 for the first month then she bills you every 8 weeks. I have decided to give it a try.
I am a coupon clipper anyway but I rarely have time to coordinate my shopping trips with the coupons I have. I figure this will help me to save money. My goal is to buy all of my groceries for my family of 5 for less than $100 per month. I know this can be done. It will take me some time to get to that point but I am willing to give it a shot. Then I will report back, with copies of my receipts to show you I have done it :)
It's incredible all the money we throw out the window with purchases here and there. I have also decided to follow Dave Ramsey's method of putting a budget together and putting everything into envelopes. I will post here my results. So what are you doing to save money? Feel free to comment.

New Blog!!

2008-09-30T21:47:00.000-05:00

So I decided to start another blog...I know, I know where do I find the time, etc. LOL

I love saving money, and who doesn't right?? So I decided to post here anything that deals with saving money. I am also going to track all my savings and good deals on a weekly basis. Please feel free to add your own links to any good deals in the comments section. We can all benefit from it right?

First thing I want to mention is that I absolutely am obsessed with Freecycle. Have you heard of it? If not, google it and join. I promise you won't regret it. I started back in 07 and I gave away some stuff then I rediscovered it just last month again. Freecycle is where you post things you want to give away for FREE and things you would like to get for free.

Here's what I scored:

One huge, pure leather sectional sofa!! FREE

Thanks family who is putting their house on the market and needed space to stage their living room :)

Next I posted that I needed a full size headboard. We are decorating my daughter's room and she doesn't have one. Guess what? SCORE

>>>

So go out there and freecycle people! I am a member of the Mckinney, Plano, Frisco and North Dallas freecyclers! So don't miss out I may be giving some good stuff away soon ;)
