Give a Day. Get a Disney Day.

I had emailed Disney to see if you could upgrade your ticket like they let you do last year (free admission on your bday) & this is the response I got back-I assume it is talking about the 4 day/4 park pass that ends end of May-so you would have to complete your volunteer before then (it takes about 2 weeks to get your free ticket from what I have read). But I would call ahead to verify this:

Thank you for contacting us regarding the "Give A Day. Get A Disney
Day." program.

Guests wishing to upgrade their “Give A Day, Get A Disney Day” ticket to
a ticket of greater value may do so at any Guest Relations location at
our Theme Parks, Water Parks, or at Downtown Disney. However, the Guest
is responsible for the incremental cost and the new ticket may only be
used by the same Guest. Currently, the price difference between a one
day, one park ticket and a Florida Resident 4-Day Dream Pass is $21.30
(tax inclusive). There is an additional cost for the "Park Hopper" and
"Water Parks Fun & More" options.

To sign-up for e-mail updates or for more information including a list
of frequently asked questions, you may visit www.disneyparks.com and
click the link to the “Give A Day. Get A Disney Day.” program.

Thank you for your interest in our "Give A Day. Get A Disney Day."
Program.

Sincerely,

Andrew Shepard
“Give A Day. Get A Disney Day.” Support Team
There is a great coupon in the Walgreens ad for Reach Toothbrush or floss .99 & use $1 coupons from previous inserts to get them for free! I would take the coupon to Publix & price match!

Big Lots also has All detergent 2 for $5 again! & use the $2 coupon to get them for .50 each! I had no problem price matching it last time.

Publix also has their new Advantage Buy Flyer-there is a $1.50 coupon off Johnson & Johnson First Aid Kid-the small ones are around $1.50 in the store & there is a $1 coupon dispenser off ANY Johnson & Johnson first aid product in the store so $1 moneymaker!

A Zaxby's just opened up in St Augustine-I love it but it is so expensive! If you email zaxkidzclub@zaxbys.com & give them your children's birthdates & mailing address they will mail you a free cookie & kidz meal for their birthday! Kids have to be 10 and under to sign up. I also read on Southern Savers if you sign up for their emails you will receive a free meal-didn't work for me but maybe I'll get something later!

Go to zaxbys.com to sign up!

Don't forget about Sonic-they send you a free kids meal for their birthday & Firehouse Subs send ya a free sub for your birthday! Look on the left hand side for links!

Publix has Bayer Asprin 2 for $3 & there are $1.25 coupons next to them in a dispenser AND there is a $1 Walgreen's Coupon in their booklet so you know what the means-a .75 moneymaker! The Walgreen's coupon expires 2/28/10!

There is also a dispenser too with $1 off ANY Johnson & Johnson product & there are .79 bandaids on an end cap! So free band-aids & a little moneymaker! (thanks to my son for finding that one!!)

McDonald's has hamburger happy meals for $1.99 on Tues & Thursdays! And don't forget on Wednesdays hamburgers & cheeseburgers are cheap too-I can't remember the exact amount but I think .59 & .69.

If you haven't shopped at thrift stores I highly recommend it! It isn't something that is good to do with kids since in some places (like Betty Griffin) you have to dig! I know it's not for everyone but I love garage saleing so I love it!

But Betty Griffin has clothes up to 2t for .50 each, after that $1 each for kids, shoes are $1 each. I got a really nice looks almost new jacket from Children's Place for my son to put up for next year for $5. I was happy about that find cuz it's a nice thick jacket! Toys are pretty cheap too-hit or miss & books are .50 each.

Goodwill clothes up to 2t are $1 each, after that I think $2 each & shoes are usually $2-3 (I am not for sure on their prices as I don't shop their too often since their prices are a little higher).

Sertoma 2nd Time Around Thrift Store located near Target-has random prices-I think it depends on who is working! I got lucky today & found a really nice pair of sandals for my daughter for $1, a brand new expensive baby toy for $1 still in box (will make a great baby gift!!) & some other random things.

It saves me tons going to the thrift stores finding clothes/shoes for my kids. It is time consuming so not something I do on a regular basis but I always just stop in real fast when I do have extra time.

New $10 off $30 World Market Coupon!


There’s a new $10 off $30 World Market coupon available, valid all the way thru 3/14/2010! Just head on over here to print yours.

Thanks It's Hip 2 Save!

If the one in Orange Park hasn't officially closed down I bet you can score some great deals!
Got this in an email today:

I saw in their ad that Saturday Target is doing a reading day at their store from 9 to 11. I also saw it on other blogs as well. I did call our Target to verify-she didn't have that much info but said it will be in front of the women's clothing area-not sure what they are doing exactly though!

I made some powdered milk the other day and my kids would not drink it at all. I had seen somewhere that someone put vanilla in with it so we tried and they liked it, I thought it was ok as well. We had 3 quarts and added 2 cap fulls.

Thanks Jenell!

Kmart!

My daughter ate the flyer I had so you may want to call & verify-but Feb 27th & 28th Kmart is doing a promotion where you bring in a old board game & get a select Hasbro game for 50% off! They also had some great clearance finds! There were racks for $4.99 in the kids section-they even had jackets for $4.99!

My friend told me about something cute they do as a family & wanted to pass it along! I can't wait to start it!

"We have a jar named our "warm fuzzy jar". We "catch" one another being nice, respectful, helpful, using good manners, etc When you get "caught" doing good you can put a "warm fuzzy" in the jar. Warm fuzzies are technically called "pom-poms" in the craft section of the store. We use the medium sized ones. The children loved catching each other and would look for ways to earn warm fuzzies. We all decided as a family on our "prize" for when our jar was full. We had a blast and now we've emptied our jar and we're going again. It's been helpful!"

Thanks Brooke!
Huggies Refill Wipes packs are ringing up 2 for $5 at CVS! I just went & did it this morning! Pair it with coupons to get them even cheaper! This is a great deal so I would STOCK UP! If they are all out, ask for them to look in the back or get a rain check (if they will write one!)

Thanks It's Hip 2 Save!

They have 24 pack of bottled water too for 1.99 near the photo department (the one on SR 16)-I asked how long they were that cheap for & the manager said until they are gone-they had about 20 left.

Saturday, February 20, 2010

I forgot to mention that Food Lion has bananas for .45 a pound & we went in Diane's Natural Foods (located in the plaza with Hobby Lobby & Big Lots) the other day-they had a few things on clearance & would be a great deal with a coupon (they do take manufacturer coupons). We bought some raw Thomas Honey & it is soooo yummy! I just looked at their website & it looks like the Feed Store sells it so I'm going to check if they are cheaper (we paid 9.99 for a huge jar!). Expensive but it's my husband's spending money-luckily he doesn't have any expensive hobbies!

& sorry for the lack of posting-I've been busy organizing the last few days since we got new office furniture but in general, life has just been really busy lately so not sure when I will start posting more but follow Southern Savers website & hip2save.com & I'll just post local things when I get a chance & email me if you find any good deals & I will post them! And if you have any questions I am more than happy to help out so just email me!

CiCi's!

I forgot to post that through March 3rd CiCi's has their buffet for $3.99 for their anniversary! Pair it with the bogo deal from an insert & .99 kids buffet coupon (or go on Wednesdays where they are .99 after 5:00) & you will have cheap dinner!

Friday, February 19, 2010

I ran some errands tonite & here are some deals I saw-

Some of you know about the Oil of Olay Rebate here-well Big Lots has them on clearance for $1 each so it will be a $12 moneymaker! No coupons needed! They were in the clearance section when I was there yesterday.

Winn-Dixie-the hunts tomato sauce is a great deal-I even got the overage-I had 6 coupons so .78 in overage! I also signed up for the baby club with the new card & got a coupon for free pack of diapers & free pack of wipes! And right now they have a promo where you get a $1.50 off when you buy diapers, & .50 off when u buy wipes so I had another $2 in overage-whoo hoo!

Family Dollar had some clothes on clearance-I found a cute flannel pj set for under $4! They had some cute shoes & cute outfits too! I saw some really cute girl's dresses for $6 or less! I've never shopped in there much before!

Target has the Keebler fudge stripe cookies on sale for $1.52 & you get a $5 gift card for purchasing 5 & you can use a $1 off 3 coupon here so .32 a pack-great deal-I know my son will love bringing these for his snack for his class for school! They weren't ringing up $1.52 but the sign was up so they honored it...

Few Deals

Winn-Dixie has some great deals this week so check out their ad & Southern Savers for coupon match ups! Free Hunt's Tomato Sauce! I was able to print more than 2 on 1 computer!

Food Lion has Blue Bunny ice cream on sale for $1.88-& if you the $1 coupon from blue bunny's website only .88!! And grapes are .88 lb.

Valentine's is 1/2 off at most places-great to stock up on some of the little gifts to put in grab bags for kid's bday parties! I found some mini notepads, airplanes (thought those were so cute since they are usually boyish!), mini bubbles, heart bracelets (they are pink/red with hearts but there girly so they work esp since I have 2 girls!) for all under $1 each. And I grabbed some cheap candy like ring pops (.38), fun dips (.50) for Easter baskets at CVS! I even lucked up & found a $4 off $20 purchase CVS coupon in CVS parking lot that I will be using at Publix-whoo hoo! (FYI-I was not scoping out the parking lot for coupons-it just happened to be on the ground when I stepped out of my car!)

Target has some of their dollar spot stuff 1/2 off too!

Ihopday

Join IHOP to celebrate National Pancake Day on Tuesday, February 23, 2010. From 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. They will give you one free short stack (three) of their famous buttermilk pancakes. All they ask is that you consider making a donation to support local children’s hospitals through Children’s Miracle Network or other local charities.

This is a great way to eat a yummy breakfast, and support Children who are in need of medical help.

Thanks A Thrifty Mom!

This may be an odd post but wanted to share a few little simple tips I have heard recently:

When shopping only buy something that you are absolutely in love with! I have been doing this lately & it save me money & time taking things back! But I overheard someone say it the other day when I was shopping & I told myself that was what I was going to do from now on!!

On trash day walk around to the recycle bins & look for coupon inserts (I haven't done this yet but was thinking about telling my husband & kids to do it!!)

And this is one that I have been doing but trade coupons with friends! I do this with a few people-like 1 of my friends has a dog-I don't-I have a baby, she doesn't-so we switch coupons!

I have also been reading this GREAT book: The Potentially Sane Mother's Guide by Tamara Fackrell. And have learned some great tips for raising kids! I just want to mention that this is just my opinions & what works for me-I like to share these things because I would have LOVED to hear advice when I first started out having kids & it may work for you as well!

But one method we have been doing lately that has worked wonders (that sounds funny!) is the "Magic Formula" where when my son asks for something he has to give a compliment first-his most famous one is: "Mom your clothes are pretty Can I have something to drink?" He usually catches himself if he forgets to give the compliment or if he does forget I always asks what is the magic formula & the best part is we as parents have to do the same! So this has helped me a lot to give praise or compliments to my son when I ask him to do something & to look for the good in him. But this has worked great for us! So maybe it will work for you! I think it is a great thing for him so he will do it with his teachers or friends!

Another one is the TIP method. Where if your child does something wrong you first thank, then instruct, then praise! For example-if your daughter loves pouring milk but always leaves the cap off-you say, I really appreciate you pouring your milk, but this is how you put the cap back on, now let me see you do it, then you praise for doing it the right way. We haven't used this one as much, but we do, do it & notice a difference with my patience instead of yelling at him & going crazy for my son trying to carry the baby down the stairs-it helps me to not quickly react & do the TIP method instead!!

Publix Ad!

Go here for a sneak peek of Publix's ad-nothing great this week-I only have 3 things on my list!

Potty Training?

Like I mentioned before I won to be a host of a pull-up party! So if you are potty training let me know so you can come! I have some coupons, potty training DVD's, & some other things to hand out! And we'll be learning a potty dance & you'll have a dance mat to bring home with you! So email me if you want to come & I will give you more info! And go to houseparty.com to register to be a host of a different house party!

File your taxes for free!!

We've done this in the past & it is very easy! Go here & choose a free company to file them with! You have to have an income of $57,000 or less.

Target!

Go here to print $1 off Archer Farms bread at Target-this will make for some cheap bread! And you can print out a .50 coupon off a $1 or more Cafe purchase-popcorn is a $1 & keeps my kids company the whole time I am in there!

And don't forget if you bring a reusable shopping bag you get .05 off your purchase for each bag!!

Friday, February 12, 2010

Jacksonville Shopping!

My hubby was so nice & watched all the kids while I made a trip to Jacksonville & had a fun day with my mom, sister & brother!! Here are some deals I thought that were worth sharing:

World Market is closing down-not sure if all of them are-but the one in Orange Park is. So everything was on sale. I wasn't blown away by any of the prices but maybe you will be! I've never shopped there.

Aeropostale (there is one at the outlets) if you bring in a gently used pair of jeans by Sunday you can get 25% off another pair!

Dilliard's was having a great sale! 70% off LOTS of items! I even got my son a pair of Sperry shoes for $8.99! They had lots of clothes for under $10 too! I got my son a suit set for $10 too! So if you are in the area I would definitely stop by!

Thursday, February 11, 2010

Carter's!

This weekend only Feb 11-15 at Carter's: Take an extra 20% off clearance!

Publix Dog Food Deal!

Purina One Dog Food For $2

Right now the Purina One Dry Dog Food, 4 lb bag is listed as 2/$10 in the Yellow Advantage Buy flyer. Use the $3/1 Purina One Dog or Cat Food 3.5 – 34 lb. bag coupon t (found online at publix.com/pet) to score each bag for $2! I don’t have pets but this sounds like a pretty good deal to me!

Thanks I Heart Publix.com!

A post for the guys!!


Wa-hoooo! If you love chocolate and flowers, then I have the deal for you! …AND it couldn’t have come at a better time with Valentines Day just around the corner!

CVS has red heart shaped boxes of Harry London chocolate on sale for $9.99. Plus, select boxes have white peelie coupons on them valid for a FREE $20 1-800Flowers.com “Fresh Pass”. These $20 passes can be used like gift cards on 1-800Flowers.com purchases and they can also be stacked for even more savings! People are reporting being able to stack 3 $20 passes to score $60 off, so basically getting $60 flower arrangements for practically nothing! Plus, 1-800Flowers is offering up FREE shipping on quite a few arrangements!

Also, it has been reported that Walgreens has the small boxes of Harry London chocolate hearts priced at just $5 with a peelie for a FREE $10 1-800Flowers.com “Fresh Pass”! And I’ve heard that some may even have $20 Fresh Passes!

If you’re interested in getting in on this deal, walk or should I say run on over to Walgreens or CVS and snatch up some chocolate! I would suggest purchasing 2 boxes for a total of $19.98 or $10 + tax (depending upon if you find the peelies on the small or large boxes). Yes, this may seem high, but for that $10 to $20 spent, you’ll not only get 2 boxes of chocolate, but also up to $40 to spend on 1-800Flowers.com! Sounds good to me!

Thanks Hip 2 Save for posting & to Lacey for letting me know that our CVS & Walgreens has them! SO this is a great thing to pass on to our hubbies! As Lacey mentioned-This could be a cheap Valentine's Day especially if you use the free spicy chicken sandwich from Chick Fil A from here!

Chocolates, flowers, free dinnner from Chick Fil A.....& don't forget to use those EB's or RR towards your chocolates!!

Tuesday, February 9, 2010

Don't forget about Chick Fil A FREE breakfast this Thursday! Free Spicy Chicken Sandwich! St. Augustine location only!

Hope some of you got your FREE grand slam at Denny's today! I luckily only waited 10 minutes (sat up at the bar) but they were giving rainchecks if you didn't want to wait which is great! I'll have to remember that next year!

$4 off $20 @ recyclebank.com


you receive 40 points when you sign up with recyclebank + an additional 50 points for joining the "ebay green team."

there is no obligation and with those 90 points you can order a cvs $4 off $20 coupon (50 points)!

the cvs coupon can be ordered once per household per month. (if you accumulate more points and they still offer it a month from now.)

source: i heart cvs: $4 off $20 @ recyclebank.com http://www.iheartcvs.com/2010/02/4-off-20-recyclebankcom.html#ixzz0f6CpBVz0

I'm not sure exactly how this works-but you can use the coupon at Publix! I just got back from going to CVS with a friend & let me just tell you that place STILL confuses me! I don't think that will ever change! So don't feel bad if you are new & confused! I have been doing this for years & am still confused!! You can see a peek at the ad next week at iheartcvs.com! I already have my plan written out which really helps to do ahead of time!! & I like Southern Savers tip to use the buggy (does anyone else call it that? people laugh at me for saying that sometimes!) with the 4 corners so you can separate your transactions if you are doing more than one which is usually every time!

Need car maintenance?

I know some people just move here or just want to know a cheap, good place to take your car to get fixed-when we first moved here, we were told to go to St Augustine Tire which is located on SR 207 near St. Joseph's Academy & have been using them the past 6 years! They have the lowest prices & I have called around to TONS of different places! Their number is 823-1100.

Few other tips:

Sign up for emails from big companies around here-my friend signed up for Tires Plus emails & got an email for a totally FREE oil change! I just received an email from Good Year for 20% off maintenance.

If you have a check engine light on stop in Auto Zone or Advance Auto Parts & they will hook up a machine & tell you what it is & can reset it for you for FREE!

Good Year next to Ross will price match-they can price match oil changes as low as $15.95-I go there each time since I can shop while I wait! I did get my tires there so it works out for me since they rotate & balance my tires too (which I also price matched there-I called everywhere & they matched the lowest price)! And since they are next to my favorite store it was a plus for me!!

Free H1N1 Vaccines at Publix!

publixlogo

Select Publix stores are offering a great deal on H1N1 Vaccines!!

If you go to Publix and purchase a $10 H1N1 shot you will receive a $10 Publix Gift Card, meaning you get the H1N1 shot free!

Thanks Southern Savers for posting!

I called the one at Cobblestone & they ARE participating. I didn't call around to others.

Publix Shopping Video!

One of the blogs I follow posted a great video about Publix shopping-I would def recommend watching it! Go here! It will def help to understand better especially the overage. Just to recommend something different instead of grabbing more food-is I get a gift card-like yesterday I got a TON of food-2 pork roast, turkey meat, 8 boxes of cereal, 8 boxes of Kashi Pizza, bread, broccoli, bananas, & lots others-had overage-got a $30 gift card trying to estimate how much I needed to get & spent $4 OOP-& that was with purchasing a $30 gift card so i had around $25 in overage yesterday (thanks to Knox & the Vivarin (which was out of stock & the store manager said he would still honor the coupon when it came back in stock). Publix is so great!!

Monday, February 8, 2010

Walgreens!

It's a pretty good week at Walgreen's this week-I had $4.50 in overage! This is what I did so maybe it will help some people understand:

1.) Super polygrip $2
Used $1 coupon
Paid $1 OOP & got $2 RR so $1 in overage! (Not sure why there wasn't any tax!)
2.) Same thing
3.) Same thing
4.) Bought Dove Body Wash $5.99
Used $1.50 coupon from here
Bought 6 Nabisco Crackers for .99
Used 2, $2 off 2 coupons from here & 2, $1 off 1 Nabisco Cracker Product
Used 2 $2 RR from Super Polygrip
Paid .79 OOP & got a $6 RR.

So I got 6 items, used 6 coupons, got 6 crackers for free, 3 super polygrip (yes I will give this to someone who can use it!), & Dove Body Wash for free & made out $4.50-if you count tax which I do-$4.14! And then I went to Publix & used my RR that I had left! I am hoping Publix gets reimbursed, the store manager thinks they will but is suppose to get back to me if they don't, but they are manufacturer coupons, Publix does them as a competitor BUT they do scan!

Publix

I just got back from doing my grocery shopping from Publix & keep your eye out-on 1 of my boxes of Special K cereal was a coupon for a FREE Special K protein product up to $6.99 when you purchased that box of cereal! Whoo hoo more freebies!!

Publix also has their brand bread $1.50 each (the Publix Premium larger loaf)!

Sunday, February 7, 2010

Denny's!

I did figure out how to change the time so no more 2am emails! But so I was kinda listening to the super bowl & Denny's is giving away a FREE grand slam on your birthday this year! Go here for more details! And don't forget about the FREE grand slam this Tuesday from 6am-2pm!! I'm taking my son out for a special "mommy & me" lunch date-& I'm extra excited since it's going to all be FREE! Yay!!
Yes I am posting during Super Bowl as I do not like football! A few people have said something to me about me being up late around 2am-which is when feedburner sends the daily email out of things I have posted-so to clear that up-no, I am not that crazy!! I'm not sure why it sends it out at that time!

There were $1 coupons in the inserts today for the Hormel Roasts that are BOGO at Winn-Dixie until Tuesday! Which will make each roasts around $2 each! That is a great deal!!

Nabisco Crackers are free after using this coupon $2 off 2 nabisco crackers (thanks iheartcvs.com for link) at Walgreens & CVS this week!

Saturday, February 6, 2010

I received this in an email today as I had an issue the other day in the store-this may clear up some things for some!

CVS/pharmacy®

Dear Ms. Danson,

Thank you for contacting CVS/pharmacy regarding our coupon policy. Although we generally do not provide store policy in writing and do allow store management discretion in most circumstances, let me clarify some of our coupon rules for you.

Our registers are set to allow 1 CVS coupon and 1 manufacturer coupon per item. In a situation where there is a Buy One Get One sale and the customer has BOGO coupons, they would be accepted and the customer would only pay sales tax if applicable. We do not give cash for coupons, so if the coupon had a higher dollar off value than the price of the product, the amount of the coupon would be adjusted.

CVS Extra Buck coupons are earned when you make a qualifying purchase. These print out instantly at the register upon reaching the threshold for the offer. Free coupons or “offers at the register” are unearned and issued to you as a valued member of the CVS/pharmacy ExtraCare program. These coupons take the form of “open ended” coupons such as $3 off $15 or a certain dollar amount off a specific item. In any given transaction our registers will allow only one “open ended” coupon per transaction and more than one Extra Buck coupon provided the purchase threshold has been met for each offer amount on a per-transaction basis.

CVS/pharmacy does accept manufacturer’s coupons that have been obtained from an approved Web site sponsored by the manufacturer. The coupon should be complete and contain a bar code that can be scanned at the register.

Please feel free to visit www.cvs.com and go to the "Save With In-store Coupons" box and click on "start printing now". To print coupons, check the box next to the Clip! icon, (or click "Select All Offers") and then click "Print Now". Please note that these coupons can be redeemed at CVS/pharmacy stores only and all manufacturer requirements must be met.

We do accept competitors coupons in the pharmacy as long as they come from a company we consider a direct competitor, such as a retail pharmacy chain. We would not be accepting coupons from deep discount retailers, or grocery stores. Unfortunately, we only accept competitor’s coupons in the pharmacy portion of the store, and not in the front store area or on general merchandise. In addition to this, the terms of the coupon must be met for it to be accepted (ie: If the coupon is for a transferred prescription, then you must be transferring a prescription from another retailer for the coupon to be valid.)

Thank you, for giving me the opportunity to assist you. We appreciate your business and thank you for using CVS/pharmacy. Please contact me if you should have additional questions or concerns.

Sincerely,

Chris

Free Chick-fil-A Spicy Sandwich For Jacksonville Folks

If you live in Jacksonville, FL you can get a FREE Spicy Chicken Sandwich from Chick-fil-A by going HERE and making a reservation. You can then print out a coupon that is redeemable on the day you selected. FYI-St Augustine is a choice!!

Thanks I Heart Publix!


Winn Dixie Clearance!

I was in Winn-Dixie tonite & found some great clearance finds! They had sheet sets for $8-10, pillows for $3, tons of spices were 1/2 off (even organic ones), Earth's best Baby food was .49 a jar for the bigger ones, .34 for the smaller ones, stuff is just marked down all through the aisles but watch out for the spices-I grabbed one that expired in 2008!! This is the THIRD time I have bought something from them expired!!

Thursday, February 4, 2010

Go here to get a coupon to try EAS product for free up to $3.89. And to make it better, in the Family Style Magazine from Publix there was a coupon in there for $1 off a Bar-coupons are cheaper than the $3.89-so it is a $1 moneymaker! If you don't have the $1 coupon this is still a great deal because it is a FREE protein bar!

But definitely look through magazines-there are sometimes good coupons in them!

CiCi's Pizza!

CiCi's started Kid's Night last Wednesday & Kid's Buffet is .99!! There were coupons in last week's inserts for Buy One Adult Buffet get one free! My family of 5 (one is a baby & 1 was free-you only pay 4 and up) ate for $6!! Can't beat that! I really love CiCi's-they have veggies on the salad bar (which luckily without any fight my kids gobbled them down lastnight!) & they have dessert! So we have been loyal to De Leon Pizza the last 6 years ($1 cheese slice night on Wednesdays) but I think we will be venturing off to CiCi's for a while!

There are also coupons in the Mint Magazine for .99 kid's buffet so you can go a different night-but Sparky the Clown is there on Wednesdays only & my kids love him!

Free Hallmark Cards at Publix!

At publix there are a ton of coupons in the card aisle for .99 off any hallmark card that is .99 or more. They have a lot of valentine's day cards for .99. So that means free cards!

Thanks Lacey!!

More Chick Fil A deals!

I also forgot to mention that Chick-Fil-A has a 10 count Valentine's Cards with free Ice-Dream on them for $3! So that equals out to .30 for each ice cream cone! I bought that too! Fun little treat for the kids & we love going to play there-it is so clean! But if you buy a kid's meal you can trade in your toy & get a ice cream cone instead!

And on my receipt printed out a FREE chicken sandwich for doing a survey! So I pretty much got those for free! This is the third time I have got 1 of those & I got 2 tonite-I asked if they are on all receipts & she said it prints out on about every 12 receipts so I guess I just got lucky tonite!! But pay attention to your receipt!

Chick Fil A

I was in Chick Fil A tonite & it's FREE breakfast Thursdays this month! Yay!! This is only at the St. Augustine location!

Feb 4th: FREE 3-count Chick-n-minis
Feb 11th: FREE Spicy Chicken Biscuit
Feb 18th: FREE Sausage Biscuit
Feb 25th: FREE Spicy Chicken Biscuit

You have to get what it says no substitutes! I'm so excited! And if you still want a calendar you're in luck! Chick-Fil-A is sold out but there is an employee there that is selling them for his church (his church bought too many & has tons left), they are $6 each & ask for Charles. I highly recommend these calendars! The coupons do not expire! And you can switch them out-like if you don't like breakfast food, you can put the cost of whatever it is towards something else! But a calendar is worth at least $30!! He says he has 50 to sale-he is there Mon-Thursday after 4pm!!

Winn-Dixie Deals 2/3-2/9

Winn-Dixie has a few good deals this week! They finally have the deal for Rayovac batteries 4 pack again for $1! At my Winn-Dixie it is a 6 pack & if you have a $1 coupon makes it FREE!! And Emerald Nuts are 3.59 BOGO & there were $1 off coupons in this past SS insert 1/31 so $1.59 for 2 jars! Pineapples are BOGO & Hormel Always Tender Pork Roast is BOGO (never tried before!) & Vanilla Wafers are $1 a box!
FYI-the Dove Men's Body Wash will also be free next week at Walgreens after RR! And I read the limit to print the coupons is 10!! Now I am not a huge fan of Walgreens-reason being:

You can only use 1 coupon per item-so if you have a RR & a Manufacturer coupon it will not let you use it (it will beep). And you cannot "roll" RR....for example if you buy the Body Wash get a $5.99 RR then buy another Body Wash it WILL NOT print out another RR (sometimes though every once in a while it will do that but very seldom). In these cases, some people just grab a filler item which can be a caramel for .30 usually by the register or print out a picture which is around .20...& then you could use another coupon since you have an extra item. But then you would have to be creative using your $1.50 coupon (since it is technically free $1.50 you could grab something for that amount but I just like keeping the overage!

Also a little tip always check out in cosmetics they are usually SO nice there! And sometimes have freebies to give ya & they have coupons all around!
If you haven't done the Dove Men deal at CVS there is finally a coupon-Yay!! And I printed it 4 times on 1 computer! These don't expire until April!

CVS
Dove Men + Care Body and Face Wash $5.49 = $5.49Ecb (Limit 2)
Use the $1.50/1 coupon from here
Final Cost as low as FREE + a $1.50 moneymaker

Thanks It's Hip 2 Save!!

Here is a great in-store deals to go along with the new buy one get one FREE My Little Pony Single coupon on Coupons.com! I would highly suggest stocking up on these toys while you can! Save them for unexpected Birthday parties and/or stash a few away for Christmas gifts!

Walmart
My Little Pony Friends Toys $5
Use the buy one get one FREE coupon from here
Final cost $2.50 each!
(Thanks, ForTheMommas!)

Thanks Hip 2 Save!

Free Grand Slam at Denny's! Feb 9th!!

Denny's will once again offer a free Grand Slam on the Tuesday after the
Superbowl - February 9, 2010 from 6AM-2PM. No purchase is necessary, dine
in only. The Grand Slam consists of 2 pancakes, 2 eggs, 2 sausage and 2
bacon.

This is 100% confirmed to be taking place. Like last year Denny's will announce this promotion during the Superbowl with a new commercial. What has not been confirmed is if Denny's will be offering rain checks, and coupon books like last year.
