Friendly Reminder – No Red Plum or Smart Source Coupon Inserts but a small General Mills this Weekend – 5/30/10

Coupons, general, Newspapers, Uncategorized
Correction: Confirmed!  A General Mills insert is in the paper for 5/30/10.   There was rumor that there might be one.  The last coupon expires 8/21/10. Since this is Memorial Weekend there won't be any coupon inserts this weekend. No Red Plum, no Smart Source and no P&G.  You don't need to buy any papers this weekend.   If you still get the paper I'm sure there will be some good ads and sales since Memorial Day is the kick off for the summer.   Think of it as a break this weekend from coupons!  The following weekend will have all 3! Please enjoy the Holiday with your family, friends and think about our men and women that have served our country.

It will be June soon….start thinking about Father’s Day

general, Uncategorized
May went by so fast!  One moment it was Mother's Day and now it is Memorial Day weekend.  I thought I would also remind those myself that next month is Father's Day. I thought about it and magazines on Amazon are at a great deal right now.    I just found Popular Mechanics for $10.00 instead of the regular $95.76! Wow! In addition, this weekend Amazon is having their Memorial Day Clothing sale - $10 off a $50 clothing order, or $25 off a $100 clothing order at the Clothing Store at Amazon.com You can apply them to top fashion brands for men, women, and kids, all direct from Amazon.com and eligible for FREE Super Savings Shipping and Free Returns and Amazon Prime.

CVS Trip 5/28/10

Coupons, CVS, Shopping Trips, Uncategorized
How do moms do it?    I'm a mom of one child and I still don't know how moms do it.   Dare, I say that I took my toddler to CVS today for a quick run!  I got out of there as fast as I could but she wanted to "play". I have to admit it is fun to look around at CVS but keeping a toddler under control is tough.  My daughter loved the CVS coupon machine so that worked out for a minute then she decided to run around and try and open everything she could get her hands on.  It was tough. I had 2 coupons that expired this week a $2 ECB and a $3 CVS coupon on any purchase.   I was so bummed out.  I…

Check your Valpak for CVS food saving coupons!

Coupons, CVS, Uncategorized
I love getting the mail. It is so much fun to go to the mailbox and find something that you have been waiting for. It is also fun to get surprises in the mail too. Today, I got our tax refund check (yippee), my $35 VISA debt card from a Rite Aid deal, and some freebie samples from Walmart. I happened to look through my Valpak of coupons. I don't always go through them. This time I was thinking to myself, wouldn't it be nice if there were some CVS coupons and sure enough the last flyer I picked up was a CVS booklet of food savings!  Even though the coupons are low value they can be combined with manufacture coupons and sales to make a great deal.   Check your…
