.99 cent Moe's Burrito's Tomorrow!

Hey yall!
If you dont already know about this awesome deal, the Moe's on Hwy 9 (near Wal-Mart) will be selling their burritos for .99 cents the WHOLE day, Wednesday the 28th! This includes chips but I do not think it includes a drink.
Last year when they had this promotion, around 5:45 there was a line wrapped around the front of the building...so my recommendation would be to go for lunch (which may also be crowded) or go during an odd hour...like 2 or something. Just refrigerate and save for dinner!
Enjoy!

Date Night Idea!

Hey everyone!

Today my hubs informed me that there is an awesome deal on halfoffdepot.com for a great date night on the cheap! The deal is for 2 AMC movie tickets and a $50 giftcard from restaurant.com for only $24!! Make sure to check the restaurant website to make sure they include a place where you and your boo would like to try ;) I think we might use ours at Fire Water in Cumming near Old Navy.
Tonight is the last night the deal is available...so grab it up and book your sitter!
It is not the usual printable voucher...they will mail this one to you in a couple of weeks.

Here is the link: I need a date night!

More Baby Steals!


Hi folks! Thanks to my great friend Rach, I remembered I had this blog and that I should update it ;) Just kidding...I remembered it, but have been seriously slacking on updating it due to being busy and not experiencing any 'bloggable' deals lately!
BUT - today happened to be a great deal day on diapers and baby items! The baby deal this week is get $10 back in ECB's when you spend $25 in specified baby products. My trip to CVS was great and this is how it played out:

Bought:
2 packs Huggies Jumbo diapers 9.00 each (regular prices listed here)
3 bottles Johnson and Johnson lotion/wash/shampoo 3.00 each
1 bag candy corn .99

Here are the Q's (coupons)that I used:
1 3 off huggies
1 1.50 off huggies
1 CVS 2.50 off huggies
1 CVS 1.00 off huggies
1 2/2 JJ coupon
1 1 off JJ coupon
12 ECB (extra care bucks earned from previous trips)

Total before coupons: $27.99
Total out of my purse: $4.99
Total ECB's earned towards my next trip: 10.99

How it pans out:
Basically I paid $1 for each item!! WITH $11 to use towards my next trip!

I am happy to show anyone interested how to CVS, so please let me know! It seems to be expensive, and it can be, but if you use the right coupons on the right sale ads, you can get some unbelievable deals...like a pack of diapers for $1!

Have a great week!!

Great Baby Deals at Publix this Week!


Hi everyone!

I must start off by saying that my kids love (ok, like - its hard to believe K Bear loves it when you see her face in this pic) to grocery shop...its some weird phenomenon, but they do. It has A LOT to do with the free bakery cookies and the 'car style' carts, but it works!

I have just completed the 21 day Daniel fast, so my grocery couponing is now back in action!

This was a GREAT week to pick things back up as many things that we use a lot were on sale!

Below I am listing out the FREE to almost FREE baby deals (and a great diaper/wipe deal).

Playtex Sippie Cups
All are 50% off, used the $1 off coupon in SS 5/22 (which expired today, but most Publix stores will take them a day or so old), and a $1 off publix coupon found in a Sweet Summer Savings booklet

Sippies were on sale $1.99 (usually 3.99)...after coupons...FREE SIPPY!

Beech Nut Steamers (little toddler meal type things)
All were $1 and used $1 off coupon
Bought 6, used 6 coupons = FREE baby food (2 meals to each pack, so essentially 12 free meals - fruit and veggie)

Pampers Diapers and wipes

All in all, a good day at Publix and great baby deals!

This Weeks Deals/Steals

This was by far one of the best weeks I have had yet with couponing! All of the months of hard work are really paying off now :)

Now when I say hard work...I am just talking about accumulating enough coupons to really have everything on hand that I need. This does not take a whole lot of time or anything...just overall time to accumulate :) I started getting the AJC every Sunday back in January...so I have stocked all coupon inserts since then which is a good base to pick from.

So...we will start with my first trip to Publix on Thursday.
The value of all of the groceries was $113 and I spent $38. My trip ranged from things such as ground turkey, frozen veggies, whole fruit sorbet, cereal, pasta, fruit, shampoo/conditioner, to yogurt (thats still not everything).

Publix trip #2 was even better.
I went a second time because some great yogurt deals started on Saturday and I wanted to get them asap. (K-Bear likes yogurt in her lunch for school). I also got a ridiculous deal on diapers and wipes. Diapers were (and still are until next Thursday or even later) $19.99 a box and wipes refills are $6.99. Looking at this price does not make me excited in the least...but when coupons are involved things get better. I had a Publix store coupon for $5 off a box of diapers and wipes refill. I had a manufacturer coupon for $3.50 off diapers, a CVS coupon for $2 off diapers and a CVS coupon for $2 off wipes. Which made the cost of an 84 count box of diapers and 216 count box of wipes $14.98. The cost without the coupons would have been $26.98...which makes for 44% savings. And I forgot a coupon for this trip which would have made for more savings. I know a lot of diaper websites offer 20% off plus free shipping...but I have found that stacking coupons and just getting them while I am at the grocery is cheaper. On top of the diaper deal, I bought 2 bags of publix bagels, 2 packs of YoPlus yogurt, 2 packs of yoplait kids yogurt, a kikkoman fried rice sauce mix, and a half dozen eggs...for a food total of $2.87.

CVS trip (today)
I bought a total of 7 bottles of 1 quart sized ready-feed Similac formula for just over $1...total. CVS is running a deal on their ready feed for $4.59 a bottle...grab the coupon in the SmartSource mag from AJC on 4/3 (April 3) for $5 off ANY Similac product...and VOILA...FREE formula! Well...actually...they owed me something in the ballpark of $1 but technically they cant pay me to walk out the door with stuff...so it just settled to nothing :) Thanks to my friend Allison who graciously gave me some extra coupons for the formula AND, more importantly, taught me how to coupon :)

I LOVE sharing tips, ideas, and strategies for couponing, so if you have any, please feel free to share!
