shopping

I have been doing the coupon thing lately and it has been great saving the $$ at the commissary so i thought that i would share a few great buys on the blog
here is just one awesome site i go to print coupons and find out about deals http://www.live2save2live.com/p/coupon.html

OH NO I was SUPER IMPULSIVE TODAY

I saw this advertised on Facebook Clicked the link and bought 2 tickets :) how fun :)

We all see the sun drop behind the horizon day after day (though this isn’t always the case for certain office dwellers), but watching the sunset in the open sea is a completely different phenomenon. For $12.50, Newport Landing Cruises will take you out for a 90-minute Sunset Cruise with complementary chips and salsa (originally $25). Admire the red-orange glow as it reflects off the rippling surface of an unfathomably large body of water. Within minutes, this breathtaking moment melts into a crystal clear view of shimmering stars*, with no interference from adjacent city lights.This setting is perfect for a romantic outing or for the entire family.

For those at legal drinking age, try their ice cold Newport Bay margaritas or beer to go along with the unlimited chips and salsa. Enhance the flavor of your snacks and refreshments with the view of the Newport Beach coastline and multi-million dollar yachts, which no condiment can reproduce. By paying an additional $15, this Perk can be upgraded to the Unlimited Drink Package, which includes several different types of mixed drinks, beer, and wine ($40 value).

Reservations are required, so call ahead or go to their website, to save your spot for the 7pm-8:30pm Sunset Cruises. Parking is available in their parking lot and parking garage, both of which cost $8 for a full day.*shimmeriness of stars may vary from trip to trip and depend on the cooperation of clouds.

Goody Good Deal

I popped into Walgreen's today to pick up my photos, but before i went to Walgreen's i checked the blogs to see what deals were available i didnt' really see anything that we could use.
I bought some coffee mate 10oz vanilla creamer for .99cents (a good deal as tim goes through one of these weekly) in addition i bought a Goody Ouchless Headband. it was on sale for $3.99 and i had a $1 off coupon making it $2.99 and to my surprise a rebate was presented to me for the full cost of the headband therefore I got the headband for free .... not shabby!!!!

Great deals i found searching blogs

Calendar and coupons
http://www.nabiscoworld.com/back-to-school/

My target finds

I used my $2 and $1 off any crystal lite to purchase the single to go packs i made 3 cents on the deal.
Pepsi products were on sale for $2.50 a 12 pack
Dentek picks 75 pack count i got for $1.29 (i use these all the time so great deal to me) I had a $1 coupon i printed on line)
Dove shampoo $2.99 (i had a $1 coupon)
Ziploc evlove baggies were $1.77 i had a $1.00 target coupon so i paid .77 cents
Bare solo products are still on sale for $1.50 however they had no plates but i did manage to get cups for $.50 i used a coupon that i printed from the internet (we use these for popcorn at work)
I got some graduation items on clearance (i graduate in Nov so I am looking for the deals now)

Deal that i have not seen on other blogs
Playtek 36 ct tampon on sale for $6.54 if you buy 2 you get a $5 target gift card
so i paid $13.08 for 2 boxes oh wait on the boxes were $1 off coupons so i paid $11.08 and then got a $5 card making my tampons $3.04 a box after my gift card!

A good deal at Walgreens but it could have been

sweeter.
Armed with my coupons and my register rewards i went to Walgreens on my way home last night.
I got 2 aquafresh toothpaste ($1 coupon per item)
3 boxes of cookies (oreo, nutterbutter and chips ahoy not the small individual ones but not the big ones either) they were on sale 3/$3 and
1 bottle of white rain shampoo it was a $1

Total for my 6 items $5.61 -- my deal that could have been sweeter see i didn't get another register reward (rr) for my aquafresh because i used the previous rr on this purchase the manager said when you do this a new rr doesn't print (so i should have done the transaction of my cookies and my $3rr and then the aquafresh so that i could have gotten my next rr :( it was a lesson learned.

Target Coupon Policy

I am off tonight after work to hopefully get some rockin deals at target apparently you can use target web coupons with a manufacturers coupon for great savings. So i thought that I had better find out for sure what the policy at target is. I did an Internet search and this is what I discovered ... I will let you all know tonight after my trip!!!!

Thanks for asking us about using coupons at Target. Coupons are a great way to save even more when shopping with us, and it’s easy to use them at our stores. Because of the variety of coupons available to our guests, we do have some guidelines for how coupons can be redeemed at Target.
When accepting coupons, we use the following guidelines:

We accept two kinds of coupons: Target-issued and manufacturer-issued.
We’ll accept one Target coupon and one manufacturer coupon for the same item, unless either coupon prohibits it.
We can’t give cash back if the face value of a coupon is greater than the purchase value of the item; in this case, we’re able to adjust the value of the coupon to equal the price of the item.
We can’t accept coupons from other retailers, or coupons for products not carried in our stores.
All valid coupons should be presented to the cashier while you’re checking out.

For questions about using a specific coupon, we encourage you to stop by Guest Service and ask to speak with the Guest Service Team Leader. They’ll do their best to help while you’re in the store. If you still have questions after speaking with them, please call our Guest Relations team at (800) 440-0680. Either way, we’re here to help!

Coupons - Going to try something different

I am in no way a coupon queen.
But lately I have been doing a lot to help reduce the expenses around the house so that we can reduce credit card debt and hopefully buy a house soon. With that said I will be posting my latest finds and deals.


Looking for something for lunch on friday i came across these deals,a free chipotle chili dog with the purchase of another

http://wienerschnitzel.com/email/coupon.html


Join the weiner club and get a free chili dog with any purchase (i recently had a birthday and they sent me a belated birthday coupon for a free corn dog with any purchase)

http://wienerschnitzel.fbmta.com/members/UpdateProfile.aspx?Action=Subscribe&InputSource=W

I have never used coupons at Target before unless they were available right on the shelf. However I have been blog hopping again like i know how and came across a very cool site money saving mom blog. She has the best deals listed. Anyhow she takes her coupons to target. So friday I needed to swing into target to grab a few things and thought that I too could use my coupons at Target here are a few deals that I got and since the coupons are available again today I will run back to taget (i need shampoo, wish i could find a coupon for that)

$1/1 Cheerios (this deal made them 1.50 a box still high for cheerios but i was out)
you can go here to sign up for a $1/1 coupon for Hostess Donettes or regular Hostess donuts. (coupon makes them 1.99 at target take the coupon to walmart and makes them .50)


Many Target stores have Crystal Light On-The-Go 3-packs for $0.99 (you'll likely find these in the check-out lanes). Use the $1/1 coupon here, here, or here (sign up or login and then click on the "coupons" tab) to get these for free. (my target allowed me to use these on the .99 ones at the cash register so I now happily carry them in my purse)


There's a new $3/3 Johnson's coupon available--IE or FireFox. You can use this on the Johnson's Buddies Bars which are $1 or less at many stores to get three for free. (MY target has changed their store around so i was not able to find these)
