Weekends! The Fun & Frugal way!

February 17, 2011 by · Leave a Comment

Here comes the weekend! Let’s have fun without busting the budget.

First, for locals, Brandywine Prime does half price burgers every Friday night. These are award winning burgers, we’re going next Friday with some family.

The library in Kennett is doing a Lego something, I think on the 19th. Saw it on the marquee as I was driving by. Call them for more info.

Cabela’s has FREE fishing seminars every Saturday & Sunday.

Beware-since it is a holiday weekend, every store around us is going to be having sales & deals. Just remind yourself, great price vs. great deal. And frugal living doesn’t necessarily mean buying the cheapest items; it’s about deciding what you want, then finding the lowest price you can get.

Winter clothing will be on clearance at rock bottom prices everywhere. Make sure you try it on, and make sure you have something to wear it with. Otherwise, it will sit in your closet unworn, and $$ wasted.

I posted it earlier in the week, but all weekend, the QVC outlets are having big sales, including half off all Dooney & Bourke.

And who doesn’t love a shoe sale? I have two to tell you about. The first is, if you have a Nordstrom Rack near you, they are having a large size sale this weekend. They are specifically promoting women’s shoes size 10-13. I know how hard it is to find stuff when you are a hard-to-find size, my family is full of folks in this category. The second is Shuze, with two locations in the Lehigh Valley, is having sales & discounts right now, up to 75% off.

The Chik Fil A at Concord Mall will be having childrens storytime from 11-12 on Monday. Check your local store for their events.

Barnes & Noble stores are having American Girl events this weekend, check your local store for exact times.

The Constitution Center in center city is having special Presidents’ Day exhibits.

I’m debating whether or not to head up to the new Philadelphia Premium Outlets. I haven’t been there yet.
Some reasons why I’d want to go:
Cabi-whole store 25-40% off
Last Call, Neiman Marcus-25% off whole store
Le Creuset, 20-35% off all items
Lindt-100 truffles for $30
Merrell-end of season sale
Yankee Candle-mediums are 3 for $25, plus there are printables floating around web; tip-I have a friend who works at a mall store, and she said it is their policy to accept coupons for six months past expiration date.

I’ll post more if I find more.

Free Tide at Superfresh-UPDATE! (plus some clearance finds)

February 17, 2011 by · 1 Comment

From what I’m reading online, the $5.99 price for Tide is the regular price, not sale. So log in to your esavings, get $3.35 off. Clip the $3 coupon from 1/30 and voila, free!

This throws a wrench in the works for my plans for the P&G deal that starts tomorrow, but that’s ok. Free is much better than cheap.

Just got back from SF. I did not see any Tide for 5.99. I did however, find some for $3.79. Tested it, and it took the $3 off from my esavings, but did not take off the $0.35 (even though I know I clicked that one too).

Went back for more. Ack–it’s only taking $3 off once! And I purchased 9. The manager was more than accommodating, but if you want it to be hassle free, ring them up separately at self checkout. Also, I had $1 off ANY Tide stain release, they were the big cardboard coupons that come in with the Pampers, they worked just fine in addition to the esavings, so it’s a small moneymaker, so find a filler so your total isn’t in the negative.

Also, lots of J&J on clearance for $2.24, if you have the $1 J&J coupons that are out, there are tons of them to be found, from inserts to home mailers to inside packages. Aveeno baby on clearance too and I had lots of $1 coupons for that.

Butterfinger snackerz are on clearance already for $0.40, so if you have the $1 off 2 printables that were out, that’s also a small moneymaker.

Love freebies!

Box Tops Deal-which items overlap in sale & rebate

February 17, 2011 by · Leave a Comment

I had to do this sorting anyway, to pick out which items I’m going to purchase. Figured I might as well post it!

From the email I got from BTFE, these are the items that are a part of the rebate. Buy any *10* and you can get a $10 rebate back, either for yourself or your school. The items that are on sale this week are in purple. I put some of the items in red, because not only are they on sale, but there is an additional catalina deal.

Cheerios
Cinnamon Toast Crunch
Lucky Charms
Kix
$2.50 each

Betty Crocker Cookie pouches $2
Betty Crocker frosting $2

Bisquick Baking Mix boxes  $3

Old El Paso Dinner Kits
Hamburger Helper Complete Meals

Betty Crocker Fruit Rollups
Betty Crocker Fruit by the Foot
Betty Crocker Fruit Gushers
Nature Valley Crunchy Granola Bars
Additional Catalina deal, note the dates, this won’t overlap with the sale until Tuesday!
Buy Betty Crocker Fruit Flavored Snacks between 2/22-3/21
Buy 3, get $1.50; buy 4, get $2.50; buy 5+, get $3.50 OYNO
$2.50 each

Pillsbury Toaster Strudel
Totino’s Pizza Roll Snacks $1.39

Pillsbury Grands Biscuits $2
Pillsbury Sweet Rolls
Pillsbury Ready to Bake Cookies

To recap:

Buy any 10 items in purple, and they will get you a $5 Box Top at checkout, and then you can send it in for $10 more.

Buy any 10 items in red, and they will get you a $5 Box Top at checkout, a $3.50 catalina off your next purchase at Acme, and then you can send it in for $10 more.

The other items will qualify only for the $10 rebate, you will NOT get the additional $5 BTFE at checkout.

Also-don’t forget, tons of the Fruit Snacks had additional coupons and BTFEs attached to them. This is my plan:
4 Gogurts, $10, minus $3 in coupons (2x.75 doubled) =$7
6 Fruit Snacks, $15, minus $3 in coupons=$12

$19 total, pay with money and a $10 catalina I have from this week. Get back: $3.50 for buying five fruit snacks, $5 Box Top certificate, submit for $10 rebate. Not even close to being free, but….we need yogurt for the boys and they like the fruit snacks.

Peace, Love, Mom

February 17, 2011 by · Leave a Comment

I love love love Peace, Love, Mom stuff. There’s a boutique in West Chester that carries it, I can’t think of the name. But much as I love to support local businesses, that boutique isn’t selling it at these prices.

Totsy, the online deal site for moms, has a 2-day promo on it. I wish my hubby was on facebook or read my blog, with Mothers’ Day coming up, this is the perfect gift idea. You will have to join Totsy through someone else’s referral link. You can’t see the deals unless you’re a member, but all it takes is a referral link and they just ask for name & email address to join. If you order, obviously you’ll have to submit more info.
