Let's Get Tangled!


CVS is running a pretty cool deal on the new Tangled DVD this week! Remember the Disney Rewards from the Bambi DVD? Well, if you signed up you should have received a new coupon for $5 off of the Tangled DVD via email. If you havent signed up, its easy and you will get the coupons via email for all of the new Disney DVDs that come out.

So here is the deal that I am shooting for this week...on Tuesday, 3/29, CVS will be selling it for $19.99 with $3 in extra care bucks back (basically, its like getting money from them, and it will print on the bottom or your receipt. Make sure to keep it for future purcheses!). You can also use the $5 off coupon, which would make the DVD $11.99 after the coupon and including the bucks back...not a bad deal :) This deal is good through Saturday, April 2nd, so head out today!

Today's CRAZY CVS trip...


This was a ridiculous trip to CVS today (ridiculously awesome!!). Here is how the transaction played out:

Total worth of purchase: $102.20
Total out of my pocket: $10.66
Total saved: $91.54!!!

I used coupons as well as $22 in ECB's (extra care bucks) to help take the total down.

ALSO...I received another $22 in extra care bucks from todays purchases to use on my next one!

If you are interested in learning how to 'CVS' please let me know! It's so much fun to save money! I would much rather use the money that I previously spent on toothpaste and hairspray on a date night!! (which both of these items were free today...amongst other items too).

Happy Sunday!!!

Total before savings/coupons: $75.06(not including the gas card in the grocery bill)

Thank to Ash J for informing me about a closeout/liquidation sale that is happening at a Blockbuster store off of exit 14 (GA 400). All DVD's are 30% off (makes them 9.99 and then you get one free). She got 6 DVDs for $50...not a bad deal!

Thanks Ash!

Free FryDay at Chick-Fil-A!


Today Chick Fil A (the Avenues location in Cumming) will be serving FREE fries when you ask for their new squeeze ketchup! Ashly and I got to check them out last week...and they were super cute (the squeeze ketchup thingy's). I wanted to put one in my purse just to have it :)

The FREE fries will be given from 2-4pm...sounds like a yummy afternoon snack to me :)

PS...if you 'like' Chick-Fil-A Forsyth on Facebook, you will get their daily deals that way or you can sign up to get them via email.

Enjoy!

Loco for Boca!


This one is for you Kate!

I have only had Boca Burgers a few times but my friend Kate LOVES them...so if you like them too...here is a GREAT deal for them at Publix this week...starting today!

They are B1G1 (buy one, get one) this week.

Regular price is $3.91, which would put one box at $1.96 before coupons.

There is a Target coupon out that you can print off using their website which is $2/2.
Using the coupon on top of the deal would make each box .96 cents!! Sometimes you can print the coupon more than once at the Target website, so if you can, print a few and stock up!

As for competitor coupons at Publix, the specific store that I go to will accept Target, Rite-Aid, and Kroger coupons. When in doubt...just ask the manager.

Hint: In our region, you do not have to buy 2 items to get the B1G1 at Publix...you can buy just 1 for half off.

If you have any meal ideas for the boca burgers, please leave a comment!

Bambi for the Basket!


Hey everyone! I am so stinkin' excited to be starting this blog to share my 'deals' with you all that seem to be significant. This is not a couponing blog, per se, but rather a place that you can go to find great deals on some pretty random things. If you are a Mom, you will probably find that most of the deals center around family and kids...such as the one today!

I was strolling through Target (a hobby of mine), and I saw that the Disney movie Bambi was already out! It was on sale for $22. This in and of itself is pricey, but I rememberd that I had a $10 off coupon for the DVD! Its a blue-ray and DVD combo set. So...after using my coupon and getting the DVD at sale price to begin with, it will only cost in the ballpark of $12!! My plan is to put it in my daughter K-Bear's Easter basket! Oh...I love a deal!

The Target sale will end 3/5 and the coupon will expire 3/8...so just a great excuse to hurry out to Target...if you need one ;)

How to get the coupon: Its as simple as going to disneymovierewards.com and they will send you great coupons via email for all newly released Disney movies! Also...you can earn points towards cool rewards when you put in codes from your purchased DVDs.


Enjoy!!
