Target

Free shipping on over 150,000 items when you spend $50
Free shipping plus get an additional $5 off use promo code TC4BVCF4 and if you buy a clearance item you get 30% off an additional select clearance item. You can return items to a local Target store.

Homemade Laundry Soap

1/3 bar Fels Naptha or other type of soap, as listed above

½ cup washing soda

½ cup borax powder

~You will also need a small bucket, about 2 gallon size~

Grate the soap and put it in a sauce pan. Add 6 cups water and heat it until the soap melts. Add the washing soda and the borax and stir until it is dissolved. Remove from heat. Pour 4 cups hot water into the bucket. Now add your soap mixture and stir. Now add 1 gallon plus 6 cups of water and stir. Let the soap sit for about 24 hours and it will gel. You use ½ cup per load

The finished soap will not be a solid gel. It will be a watery gel or more like “egg drop soup”. It does not generate suds so it is OK for the new HE washers. I usually double the recipe. I have also made the “dry recipe” but the wet is so much cheaper and does the same thing!

Have any other homemade things that has saved you a lot...send me an email and I will post it! My husband makes his own cleaners-uses vinegar and water and makes one with lemon juice and water-that is cheap!

Thanks Judi for sharing! She said making her own has saved her tons!!

Scrapbook store going out of business

I saw that Scrapbook Heaven is going out of business. Everything is 50% off. It's a small store that's on 207 next to the railroad tracks, kind of by Osceola Elementary. Today was the first time I had stopped in there. They still have some good stuff, but sadly I haven't been able to scrapbook in a long time so I just couldn't justify buying any more cute stuff that will just sit there!

Coupon Policy at Publix

Today was the first day I had a problem using coupons at Publix (new cashier!), but I talked to the manager and she said they do not get reimbursed back for the register rewards from Walgreens and that you can use them, but only 1 competitor coupon per transaction...I asked for a written coupon policy and she said that don't have one and I have had managers use more than one competitor coupon before when they have checked me out...so they may all say something different but wanted you to be aware! She said you can use a competitor, manufacturer and publix coupon on the same item...that has not changed.

Publix doesn't have much on sale this week...

You can go here to view the deals and coupon matchups or view their ad at http://www.publix.com

And there are a couple of community garage sales this weekend-go here to view them!

Want to know what you can freeze?

Click here!

Thanks A Thrifty Mom!

I freeze cookie dough, sticks of butter (which come in handy!), bread, milk, bananas, peaches, tortillas, bell peppers (cut them up in small pieces first-great for a pizza topping!), grapes (great snack!) and of course meat, and I keep my end pieces of bread or leftover waffles/pancakes in the freezer for when we go to feed the peacocks or ducks...freezing stuff really saves if you buy it when it is on sale (like stock up when bread, sticks of butter, or tortillas are buy one get one free). We have a chest freezer and love it!

Have any other things you free not mentioned-post a comment and let us know!

Just wanted to remind you again about De Leon's Gift Certificates-you get a $10 certificate for $5-I tried it a couple of weeks ago and it was easy-you just go in the main lobby at the St Augustine Record and they have an envelope at the desk with your name on it...we love this place-we have gone almost every Wednesday night for the last 5 years-after 4pm it is a $1 cheese slice night...don't forget they are moving by the new movie theatre in July. They also have a coupon in the entertainment book-buy one get one free...we got 2 pizzas one night and he just gave me $5 off (the value of the coupon). But their salads are yummy and calzones...

Go here to get one!

Hope ya know, we had a hard time...

Deals I found today!

These are the deals I found today:

At Walgreens Good Nights Boxers were marked down to 2.89 and I used my $1.50 coupon so what a deal! And they had huggies supreme refill pack marked down to 2.19 and had a coupon for $1 off so another great deal...sorry they only had 1 left of the wipes and I grabbed the last 3 diapers...the price wasn't marked right at the Walgreens on US 1 but it rang up that cheap...there is one over on the island, so not sure if they have the same deals or not. I also used my RR (register rewards) at Publix today with no problem...I made $1 off the deoderant they had on sale at Walgreens.

At Wal-Mart I used my Kraft BBQ coupons and got 4 free bottles...so print out that coupons if you haven't already! And I also got 3 Johnson Buddies Soap Bar free too. The coupons you get for $1 off any Johnson & Johnson product you can use on those...I love them-they keep my kids smelling good! And the Huggies Bath & Body Coupons you get, you can use those on wipes...it worked tonite at Target-I got the trial size ones for $1 which ended up being free minus the tax!

My Publix Shopping Trip!


I did great today...my total bill before coupons was $69.41 and after all my coupons I spent $25.81!! Yeah I looked like a mad woman with all my coupons but it saved me a ton! My total savings at Publix was $83.09! A lot of people don't shop at Publix thinking it is more expensive but I love it and save a ton! I buy in bulk at Wal-mart and buy stuff there I know that normally doesn't go on sale and I don't have to go to Wal-mart but every 3 weeks and that is just because I usually have to get something besides food! For $25 today I got 2 electrosal dish detergents, 6 packages of cascadian farms bars, 2 boxes of back to nature honey graham sticks, 3 packages of Publix frozen yogurt, a roast, a pork roast, 10 jars of Earth's Best baby food, 2 packages of shick quattro razor refills (which were free, I had Target coupons and manufacturer coupons and a rain check from last week, actually made profit), 2 packages of 100 calorie snack box (which were free with target coupon and manufacturer coupon, I had a rain check from last week), 2 lbs baby cut carrots, 2 packages of soft taco wraps, bananas and I think that is it! I am very lucky to have a VERY GOOD little girl to shop with! Publix's car grocery cart, free cookie and free balloon helps but she is such a great little shopper!

I went to Walgreens today and they have a booklet on their counter and their cosmetic counter with good coupons, 1 being for .15 prints which expire 6/30/09 so that is good to have-I had to get a rain check this week because our photo machine was down but that doesn't expire so that coupon find was great! Walgreens has a lot of food on clearance also-it was pretty cleaned out-but I got a few things to put up for food storage-like sardines for .30 that expire 2013...yummy!! They also had "beauty" stuff on clearance pretty cheap...soaps, body wash, lotion, sanitizer...make a great gift! And they wouldn't let me use the $2 coupon for the diapers because it says not valid with any other offer and it would scan so I didn't get any great deals there this week!

I went to CVS and did the glucose meter which I think is great to have handy in case of emergencies and made $5! Very easy money maker this week!

That was all I found this week! Oh yeah if you haven't done KFC yet-you still have until the 19th but make sure you fill out the form and give them your coupon so they can mail it and you can save a stamp!

Anyone else find any other great deals? Post a comment or send me an email!

Free Adidas deodorant, 2 free colgate toothpastes, and I paid $3 for 2, 28 packs of Zephryhills water (it was a bonus pack) that is on sale this week (this is after all extra bucks) so that makes them a .05 a piece! If you saw any other great deals there let us know!

Update about KFC free meal

I called our St. Augustine store to verify and she said they will not accept them-just bring it in and you will get a raincheck mailed to you at a later date! Read below for the explanation.

If you are new to this blog...here are some things you will find...

On the left side, you will find coupon websites, easy money saving tips, helpful websites, links to get free stuff or samples, fun websites for kids, the temple schedule and food storage websites. You will also find the explanation of CVS's extracare program under helpful links-CVS is great-I have made/saved tons and got lots of free stuff!

On the right side, you will find helpful things about St Augustine...cheap places to shop, websites, cheap gift certificates (from the St. Augustine Record) and FREE/cheap things to do around here...by the way there is a De Leon Pizza $10 gift certificate for $5 on there right now, I just bought a few-you pick it free at the Record in the lobby or have it shipped which costs $3-this is the first time I have bought anything from their store but it is a great deal for me since we go every Wednesday ($1 slice night). It is located in the Ponce Mall but will be moving to the new movie theatre in July...

In the middle are random posts about deals or helpful information! And I try to go back and delete old posts that way it isn't too cluttered and everything that is posted is helpful!

It takes a lot of time to get the hang of things-but it is way worth it-the last thing that I saved a lot was at Publix-my grocery bill was about $110 and I walked out of there spending about $37 after all my coupons and I even got a huggies box of diapers, bag of pullups, wipes, and TONS of food so it really pays off!

Redbox FYI

The word is out that you can take home new release DVDs for only a $1 per night from the big red box. We know you know, because you've saved that dollar as part of redbox' Free Movie Mondays promotion, which is ending after May 11.

However, since so many of us could use an extra buck these days, redbox is going to keep the free flicks coming once a month throughout the summer. Beginning June 1, redbox will send a free movie code to your phone on the first Monday of the month as a thank you for using redbox.

You can sign up at www.redbox.com-these are in McDonald's, Winn-Dixie and Walmart.
I just saw this on the church website-didn't know if everyone knew-it started last month.

Entertainment Book

If you want an entertainment book you can get one for $15 and free shipping http://www.entertainment.com/discount/home.shtml

or look on ebay and get one for about $11 and u can also submit an offer and get it for less (also free shipping).
I ran errands today and these are the deals I found:

at Walgreens Campbell's pork and beans are .50 each, and after you complete your purchase it prints out a $1 off 4 cans so I did it several times because it kept printing it each time...I went to the one across from the hospital. And like mentioned in a different post I made $1 off of the toothpaste since it was free and got deoderant free.

at Target....If you purchase 4 particpating Fiber One products you get $5 gift card...the bars and cereal are 2.39 and I had coupons so afterwards it was about $1.60 for everything-can't beat that! You can go here to get coupons:
$1.35/1 Fiber One printable
$0.75/1 Fiber One Cereal printable
$1/2 Fiber One printable

if you are in need of cabinet knobs-they have a TON clearanced out from .74-.98 in the hardware department. They also have colgate toothbrushes for .97 and if you have $1 coupon it is free-better than doing extra bucks and register rewards!

Staples has great deals! This week you can get 500 sheets of copy paper for $1, free casio label maker (great gift!), photo paper for $1 all after easy saver rebates-I have done it before and it is very easy because it is through Staples not someone else and if you sign up for their club which is free, you get 10% back on the paper! You can submit the rebate online which makes it even easier!

Michael's has a ton of $1 scrapbooking stuff right when you walk in to the right on the end cap!

If you found any other great deals-let me know!!

This is a great website I saw on one of my friend's blog-they even have the Orlando Temple in the vintage which I wasn't able to find! But their pictures of Christ are very decent prices!
