Last Day for Free SoBe Life Water at CVS

My son and I ran into CVS yesterday for this quick deal. I got 8 SoBe Life Water's. I used this this B1G1 free coupon. There is another coupon here. The May monthly deal is they are on sale for $1.00 each and if you buy 2 you get $1 in ECB back. So, my total was $4 and I got $4 back. That equals FREE WATER!!

Remember that not only does the new CVS ad start tomorrow, but the June deals start as well. And finally, coupon inserts come out again!! Thanks to Be Thrifty Like Us for the SoBe reminder. Be sure to check out their CVS previews as well. :)

My Random Blogging

So here's the reason I've been even more random with my blogging this week. My 23 month old son broke his arm over Memorial Day weekend. Before I mentioned or pictured it, I wanted to be sure we've told everyone personally!! He's been so brave and is such the trooper. He's barely uttered a peep about it. He had his cast re-done Thursday, it's now super cool soccer balls!! The only "bad" news is he's got it for the next 6 weeks!! I am so grateful that we live near a terrific hospital for children. The hardest part is keeping him "still" to rest. There has been a lot of TV on in my house lately. I feel terrible about it, but it keeps him still. :)

Out of all that, I still have a deal to report! One of my husband's managers and his family gave my son a super cute Parents MD kit from Target. He loves it!! It was such a sweet "get well" present. So, as I was opening it all up I noticed a card for a free subscription to Parents magazine. It was "included with the toy purchase". Cool!! I had let my last free subscription lapse. Well, as I was reading the card (small print) if you had actually purchased the MD kit and didn't want the subscription, you could mail the card in with your receipt for a $5 refund off the toy/magazine. I wonder how many people throw those away everyday?? Basically they "charge" you $5 on top of the toy price for the magazine and you don't notice it. So keep an eye out for any such "deals" with Parents brand toys or anything at all for that matter. I'll be happy with my free magazine!!

A quick side note about magazines. You may begin to wonder, "how many can I read?", with so many offers for free subscriptions floating around the web these days. I usually flip through them first, read anything fun second, tear out super cool stuff third and lastly I take it to the library for donation. They have an area set up in the lobby to "freecycle" you magazines. If your library doesn't do this......ask about starting it! It's a win/win for everyone!! Be sure to recycle your magazines if you can't donate them. :)

CVS Reminder


Be sure to check out Be Thrifty Like Us for the CVS June monthly ECB deal preview!! Some good stuff is coming our way. :)



Misc. Coupon Deals

Yesterday I headed to Target!! Yippee!! My husband found 2 gift cards in his wallet with a total of about $90 on them. He went and "blew" some on office organization things while the kids and I were in Missouri. He did good, they are really cute. Anyway, everything was purchsed on the gift card. :)

I found Kraft/Post LiveActive Cereal for $2.99 and used this $3 coupon, making it FREE.

While you're at Kraft, sign up for their free food & family magazine. This month mine not only was packed full of recipes and coupons, it had a coupon for a FREE salad dressing (up to $3.09). So I picked up a 24 oz bottle of ranch. I also used 2 $1.00 off All Small & Mighty detergent mfg. coupons for 2 trial size bottles. That's 2 FREE bottles (4 loads of laundry). You can also print a coupon for that here. And I picked up 2 free things of cat treats. That was my last 2 mfg. coupons that I got from the coupon club I belong to. I ended up with about 8 free cat treat coupons. I guess I'm the only one with a cat. :)

Be sure to check out Sisterly Savings and Attention Target Shoppers for more FREE trial size deals at Target. I would have done more "free" shopping, but I'm out of printer ink.....which leads me to my next deal this week.

Walgreens has ink refills 50% this week with the coupon. That makes black $5 and color $7.50. I dropped off 2 this morning. My last one that I got free a few months back lasted about a month once I put it in. That's really good I think. I print a lot of coupons and print eBay shipping labels.

Another favorite coupon is this $2.25 off Silk Soymilk coupon. It goes great on my free cereal. Haha! And my other favorite coupon right now is this $1.00 off Fast Fixins chicken. I finally found the 10 oz packages on sale last week at Kroger for $1.00. I got over 6 lbs of chicken patties/fingers/nuggets for FREE!! In the past I've found the 10oz packages on sale 3/$5, not a bad deal either. The best part is that my daughter LOVES their chicken and it has added calcium!

New Dove Sample

I hope everyone had a great weekend. My kids and I had a great time visiting family. We just wish Daddy could have come, he had to work. :(

Anyway, to slowly get back in the swing of things, here's a new Dove Shine Therapy sample. If you have a second, Dove website. You might see a sample you haven't requested yet. I am loving my Dove Go Fresh cumcumber deodorant sample that finally came last week. :)

$5 off at Walgreens-May 23rd ONLY

Just click HERE to print your very own $5 off $20 coupon (in store purchase) for Walgreens!!!!! Be sure to check out some deals before you head over. I found some really good ideas here at BeCentsAble. Remember to make your list before you go so you don't over spend!! I know there are several, zero OOP (out of pocket) deals awaiting.

I'm on my way out the door here in a few hours. Walgreens?? No......(sigh). I'm heading to southwest Missouri to visit my Grandma!!! I have already checked online and the closest Walgreens is about 40 minutes away. UGH! I'll pass on the coupon, since I don't need anything. Sending hubby for a "freebie" trip could turn out bad. :)

Have a great and safe weekend!!! I'll be back posting by Monday.
