Normally, they'll either apply a discount code or Plum Dollars that you have in your account (they award them periodically for creating an account, referring a friend, etc.). But, I had $5 credit in my account and they applied both the discount code AND the $5! The deal I particularly like right now is:</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></b><br />

HT will be doing another amazing Super-Double Coupon event . . . and they'll be doubling up to $2 face value! So now is the time to use those coupons that are$1.50 (they're worth $3 at HT) and the few rare $2.00 coupons (they're worth $4 at HT)!!! The promo starts on Wednesday, August 8th and will run all the way through the following Tuesday, August 14th. </span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 18px; font-weight: bold; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Craig's List</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> - have you forgotten about this amazing "service"? I've just recently gotten reacquainted with it and am totally re-sold! I have a slight obsession with Pottery Barn furniture - although I just can't afford to pay full-price for it. So I've been scouting out Craig's List on a daily basis and here is what I've learned:</span><br /><ul style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<li style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; list-style-type: disc; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Don't search for the item you're looking for, search for the brand. I've been just entering "Pottery Barn" in the search box and I get to see everything that anyone is selling from PB. Otherwise, I have to sift through hundreds of ads for furniture that I have absolutely no interest in. </span></li>
<li style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; list-style-type: disc; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Never pay more than 50% of the original price of the item; significantly less if it's older. </span></li>
<li style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; list-style-type: disc; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Always negotiate price; it is absolutely expected on Craig's List. Even people who say "price firm". Make an offer! Seriously, what's the worst they can say? </span></li>
<li style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; list-style-type: disc; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">If they're not close-by, be pro-active and offer to pay full asking price if they'll deliver the item - or at least meet you somewhere. </span></li>
<li style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; list-style-type: disc; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Be patient and check back daily. People post things all the time - so just check back on a daily basis to see what's new - and to see who still has something they're trying to get rid of. People who post, re-post, and re-post day after day - really want to get rid of whatever they're selling. Those are the people who are willing to deal! </span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">So that's it for now! Good luck and happy shopping! </span></b><div class="blogger-post-footer">http://www.savemore.com/rss/affiliate/182258</div>Lisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06154335578505830096noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4526220442333327529.post-80296243538015549802012-08-05T09:03:00.001-04:002012-08-05T09:03:15.678-04:00Combining DealsYou can often save big bucks when you combine a variety of deals/offers! Just this morning, I combined a fantastic sale, with ebates, and shop runner to save myself over 50%. Here's what I did:<br />
barenecessities.com is having a fantastic sale on bras: buy 1, get another for 75% off (doesn't have to be the same bra). Plus, use code XTRA15 at checkout and get an additional 15% your entire order. So here's what I did:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Logged in to my ebates account and did a search for bare necessities. They're offering 4% cash back! So I clicked on the "Shop Now" button and they automatically directed me to barenecessities. </li>
<li>I bought 2 bras on sale for $35 each. After discounts, they came out to $7.22 and $29.75 each. </li>
<li>When I got to the place where I enter in shipping preference, I logged into my shoprunner account (they have a button there where you can do it directly from their page and it automatically calculates). So I got my shipping for free! </li>
</ul>
<div>
All totaled I got two bras shipped to my door for $36.97 + I'll get $1.47 deposited into my ebates account. That means I've really spent a total of $35.50 for 2 bras that normally would have cost me $70 + $5.00 shipping. Plus, I guess since I bought this on tax-free weekend here in NC, I didn't have to pay tax either! :-) </div>

I got a voucher for two 16x20 canvases for only $49 + free shipping! Plum District has a similar deal going on right now, but theirs is significantly more expensive ($39 for one 16x20 + $14 shipping). So if you're like me and wanting to turn some of those amazing vacation pics into some wall art - this may be the deal for you! Click <a href="http://eversave.com/share/JU43%20">here</a> to take a look!<div class="blogger-post-footer">http://www.savemore.com/rss/affiliate/182258</div>Lisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06154335578505830096noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4526220442333327529.post-92053166062618064852012-07-28T20:55:00.002-04:002012-07-28T20:55:53.566-04:00Cheap/Free Ways to Rack-up Swagbucks!1) Download the Hotels.com ap on your iPhone and you'll get 45 swagbucks<br />
<br />
2) Sign-up for Savingstar for free (an online e-coupon service that I LOVE) and you'll get 23 swagbucks<br />
<br />
3) Sign-up for Plum District (an online deal site like groupon, living social, etc.) and make a purchase to get 315 swagbucks! Also - when you make that purchase, use code LONDON20 to get 20% off!<br />
<br />
4) If you've never used Vista Print before, order some free personalized note cards - or any number of other free things (you will have to pay shipping), and get 450 swagbucks! That's enough for a $5 amazon.com gift card. So whatever you have to pay on shipping will be off-set by the $5 gift card!<br />
<br />
5) If you've never used Netflix, sign up for a account and get 675 swagbucks! Your first month will be completely free - just be sure to keep it for at least 3 days before you cancel (if you intend to do so). I'll warn you: I registered for Netflix a year ago when they did a promotion like this - intending to cancel it after a few weeks. . . but did not! It's a wonderful service and very cheap! We eventually cut off our direct tv and just used Netflix!<br />
<br />
If you're not a swagbucks user, sign-up <a href="http://www.swagbucks.com/refer/isabellasmom2">here</a> and get 30 free swagbucks to get you started! It's as simple or intense as you want it to be, so just take some time to look through their site and you should get a good idea of how it works. For any of the above listed offers - make sure to hit the "Earn" tab on the site - and then click "Special Offers" from the drop-down menu. You must go through Swagbucks and click their links in order to get your swagbuck rewards! Have fun!<div class="blogger-post-footer">http://www.savemore.com/rss/affiliate/182258</div>Lisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06154335578505830096noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4526220442333327529.post-69516980739858891712012-07-27T15:47:00.002-04:002012-07-27T15:47:58.446-04:00Paper Coterie Gift Cards - up to 70% off<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I was recently reminded how much I love this site and the quality of their products. I've bought their calling cards, journals, return address labels, and stationery and loved it all. Click </span><a href="http://www.minted.com/referral/landing/dhtavk" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">here</a><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> to get a $25 credit towards your first order!

<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Idea: I love giving their personalized stationery as gifts. </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">There is very little substitution for a nicely hand-written note on fine monogrammed stationery. It's a luxury that we rarely afford ourselves. </span><div class="blogger-post-footer">http://www.savemore.com/rss/affiliate/182258</div>Lisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06154335578505830096noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4526220442333327529.post-10492452164241340792012-07-18T13:30:00.000-04:002012-07-18T13:30:46.912-04:00Grocery Store Discounts and Deals<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: center;">

Here's what I got:<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
(2) Roseart Crayons (24 pack) - $.01</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(2) Bic Roundstick (10 pack) - $.01</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(2) Staples Brand School Glue - $.01</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(4) Sharpwriter Mechanical Pencils (10 pack) - $.25 (regularly $3.49 each)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(4) Really Useful Boxes - $.25 (regularly $1.00 each)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(1) 2013 Desktop Calendar - $4.99</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(2) Reams of 8.5" x 11" Staples Copy-paper - $6.99</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(1) Staples Handy File - $10.49</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(1) Staples 3-Tab File Folders - $5.29</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(1) Scotch Super Glue - $2.99</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(1) Sharpie Fine Markers (5 pack) - $1.00 (regularly $4.79)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Minus 5% for using my Staples Reward Card</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Minus $4.00 ink reward coupon I had from turning in an old cartridge</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Plus $2.53 in Sales Tax = $37.43</div>
<br />
I then went to stapleseasyrebates.com and entered in my rebate information (it was so easy, that I was able to do it while having a fairly serious phone conversation with a close friend). I will receive three rebate checks back:<br />
<br />
$13.48 - for the 2 reams of paper (making them only $.25 each)<br />
$4.99 - for the Desktop Calendar (making it free)<br />
$2.99 - for the Super Glue (making it free)<br />
Total Refund: $21.76<br />
<br />
Total Net Spent: $15.67<br />
<br />
Interesting Note: I needed the Handy File and 3-Tab File Folders that were not on sale, nor did I have coupons for those! Just those two things were $15.78 - my 5% discount + sales tax. Basically what that means is that since I had the $4 coupon, I paid for those two essential items - and then got everything else for free! I hope you can see that you can literally walk into Staples - and come out with about $52.19 for about $3-4. Keep in mind that you do have to pay for the easy rebate items up-front, and then wait for your rebate check to arrive (normally about 4-6 weeks). So much fun! I felt like a kid in a candy store! :-)<div class="blogger-post-footer">http://www.savemore.com/rss/affiliate/182258</div>Lisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06154335578505830096noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4526220442333327529.post-35362015595469620582012-07-10T13:54:00.001-04:002012-07-10T13:54:15.151-04:00Yankee Candle CouponLove, love, love Yankee Candles! I've tried others (really good quality ones, too) - and nothing seems to be as fragrant as a Yankee Candle. My favorite scent is still the Cucumber Melon! Anyway - just ran across this coupon (thans hip2save.com) for $10 off of $25 purchase! <a href="http://www.yankeecandle.com/assets/email/jul10/coupon_JULY12.html">This coupon</a> can be used at Bed, Bath, and Beyond as well as a lot of other retailers. What I don't know if is BB&B will take this coupon as well as one of their own store coupons?!?!!?! I will look into that and let you know! If so, this could make for a really cheap Yankee Candle!!! Click <a href="http://www.yankeecandle.com/assets/email/jul10/coupon_JULY12.html">here</a> for printable coupon!<div class="blogger-post-footer">http://www.savemore.com/rss/affiliate/182258</div>Lisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06154335578505830096noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4526220442333327529.post-88863731454298999702012-07-10T13:46:00.007-04:002012-07-10T13:46:57.740-04:00Yay for FREE Starbucks!!!<div style="text-align: center;">

I'm now back from vacation and in a saving mood! :-) <span style="background-color: white;"> </span><br />
<br />
Back to School Season is beginning! Don't let that make you panic or sad - there is plenty of summer left! It's just the same sort of marketing strategy that they use when they start playing Christmas Music in September! But in this case - we can save big bucks! From now until the end of September is when you're going to be able to get almost all of your office supplies for pennies! So stock up now - because you'll cringe to pay $5 for a ream of paper in April if you don't! Just browsing the Staples Sales Paper and here are the things you can get for FREE (or super cheap) with easy-rebate! If you've never done easy-rebate before, it really is super easy - but you do have to pay for it up-front and make sure to remember to enter in your receipt ID number online so that you'll get your rebate (normally takes about 4-6 weeks).<br />

Today I went to CVS to take advantage of their diaper deal this week! CVS is offering $10 is ECB's when you purchase $30 in baby items. There is a wide variety of items available - from diapers, wipes, treats, etc. I needed diapers, so here is what I did: </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Transaction #1 </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Bought 3 packages of Huggies Diapers - on sale for $10 each = $30.00</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Used 3 $2.00 coupons from the Sunday paper</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Used $5.00 off of a $20.00 purchase (got it from the Magic Coupon Machine when I walked in)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Used $10.00 of CVS Gift Cards (gotten with Viggle Points)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Paid $9.00 + tax </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Got Back $10 in ECB's</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Transaction #2 </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Bought 1 package of Huggies Swimmer Diapers - $9.99</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Bought 1 package of Pampers Wipes - $3.69</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Bought 1 Schick Shave Gel - $4.39</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Used 1 Pampers Wipes Coupon - $.75</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Used 1 Schick Shave Gel Coupon - $.75</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Used 1 CVS coupon for $2/1 Schick Shave Gel (got it from Magic Coupon Machine)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Used the $10 ECB's from the previous purchase</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Paid $4.57 + tax </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For a total of $13.57 OOP, I felt pretty good! Note that even without the $10 in CVS gift cards, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it still would have been a good deal. </div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
You don't always have to buy a lot of stuff to have great success at the grocery store! I hit Harris Teeter one last time to take advantage of the last day of Super Doubles. Here's what I got: </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Propel Water - 6 pack - on sale for $3.00</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Used $1.00 coupon that doubled = $1.00</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Wisk Detergent - $6.99</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Used $2.00 coupon that doubled = $2.99</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*Tom's of Main Toothpaste - on sale for $3.00</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Used $1.00 coupon that doubled = $1.00</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Tom's of Main Deodorant - on sale for $3.00</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
DeerPark Water - 6 pack .5 liters - on sale for $1.00</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Bought 2 and used $1.00/2 coupon that doubled = Free</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Total Amount: $5.99 + tax for all of the above! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*As a general rule, I never pay for toothpaste. But this is really good quality toothpaste that is usually $4.69/tube and having a coupon for it is rare. So, I was willing to splurge a little! :-) </div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Lot 18 </span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: center;">
This is still one of my favorite deal sites - because it features wine and chocolate; two of my absolute favorite things! They used to have a sign-up bonus that only benefited the person doing the referring, but they've changed it! Now when you sign-up for a free account through <a href="https://www.lot18.com/i/Lisa363933">this link</a>, you'll get a $10 credit to apply to your first order! Once you've signed up for an account, you can refer your friends and you'll get a $25 credit when they place their first order!This will add up fast and should equal some free or really cheap wine! </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: center;">
Another cool thing they're doing is giving credit when you place orders over $100! </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: center;">
Here's how it works: </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: center;">
For every $100 in orders you submit, </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: center;">
get $10 towards a future purchase (up to $50 credit)!!!<br /> </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: center;">
Here's a possible deal scenario: <span style="font-size: small;"> </span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">2006 White Oak Vineyards Napa Valley Cabernet Half Case - $116.94</span></div>

<h1 style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; font-weight: normal; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Minus Sign-up Bonus of $10 = $106.94 (plus tax)</span></h1>
<h1 style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; font-weight: normal; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Shipping = free (because more than 4 bottles) </span></h1>
<h1 style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Minus $10 credit you'll get for your next order! <b><br style="font-weight: normal;" /><span style="font-weight: normal;">Total net cost = $96.94 for 6 bottles shipped to your door or $16.15/bottle for wine that normally retails for $33/bottle + shipping</span></b></span></h1>

The last thing I want to do when I'm on vacation is grocery/supply shop! I'll have it delivered to our destination and I'll instantly have wine when I arrive! :-) And not just any wine that I happen to be able to find in the local grocery store - but really good wine at a fantastic price!!! </span></b></span></h1>

<span style="font-size: large;"> And not at Harris Teeter . . . </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm getting ready to go on a trip for the 4th of July. With as much stuff as I have to pack for a nearly 2-year old (besides myself) - diapers and wipes are not what I really want to be filling my suit-case with. So, I checked out diapers.com and this is what I found: </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Case of Pampers Diapers (192) for $47.99</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
$10 off coupon code OHBABY10D</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
$5 off coupon code (used my pampers gifts to grow rewards points)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Added Travel pack of 7th Generation Wipes for $1.99 to bring total up to over $49 so I'd qualify for free shipping</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Grand total: $34.18 </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">(</span><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>for the equivalent of 5.3 packs of diapers and a travel pack of wipes - delivered straight to our condo) </i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I haven't actually placed the order yet, so I'm going to see if I can apply one more $5 code! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If so - that would make this deal go from great to awesome! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you're new to diapers.com - use code Lisa2848 to get $10 off your 1st purchase! </div>

</div><div class="blogger-post-footer">http://www.savemore.com/rss/affiliate/182258</div>Lisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06154335578505830096noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4526220442333327529.post-43211509829414359802012-06-21T21:06:00.003-04:002012-06-21T21:07:51.938-04:00Keepin' it Fresh<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
So one of my biggest questions from people is: how do you keep yourself motivated to keep doing the "coupon thing". A lot of people get off to an enthusiastic start and fizzle after a few months. But this is not surprising - because it really is a discipline. So don't worry, you're in good company! Here are a few of my thoughts on what you can do to avoid it, or snap out of it: </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
1) Take a little break when you need it! Don't be afraid to let some deals go by without taking advantage of them. Just because you skip of week (or three) of clipping Sunday paper inserts, or haven't looked at coupons.com in a while, doesn't mean you ought to throw in the towel. Don't worry about "getting caught up". Get your kids to go through your coupon binder and do a little detective work: ask them to go on a hunt for expired coupons and take them all out (and don't worry if they miss a few or take too many - it's worth it not to have to do the whole thing yourself)! Don't try to clip all the coupons that you missed - that will just be an overwhelming task that you'll dread. Just start where you are and gradually re-fill your binder!<br />
<br />
2) If you do want to try to clip the missed coupons, call a fellow coupon girl friend and see if she wants to come over for a sip and clip! Have a glass of wine and visit while you clip coupons. Make it fun - not a chore! </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
3) Take a relaxed approach. Don't run yourself ragged driving all over town every week trying to get to all the stores. Maybe go to Target once a week, and pick the drug store with the best deals for you - and go to only that one. But don't try to do Wal-mart, Target, Walgreens, Rite Aid, CVS, and 4 different grocery stores every week. You're just asking to burn-out! </div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">4) Help a coupon newbie! Sometimes helping explain how it all works to someone who is new to it will give you inspiration, remind you of things that you've forgotten, and help ignite a fire! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">5) Take a look at your savings and that should be enough to get you smiling! I needed this boost just recently, so I went digging for "pick me ups". Here's what I found:</span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I just cashed in 9,000 Viggle points for a second $5 CVS gift card! Love that they have this reward! I have been off the "CVS circuit" for a little bit and have no ECB's - but now that I have 2 CVS gift cards from Viggle, I can go in and start the cycle again with no out of pocket expense! Love it! </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I've been a very lax Shopkick user - rarely ever remembering to use it. But I just noticed that I have enough "kicks" to cash in and get a $5 Target gift card! Awesome reward considering I've done pretty much nothing to get it! </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I've been piling up my Swagbucks and finally cashed them in for amazon credit! I was able to order Egyptian Cotton Towel sets - 4 of each: Bath, Hand, and Wash Towels - and they're shipping for free! All for absolutely zero cost to me because I saved up all my amazon cash! So incredibly excited to get nice, new towels!!! </span></li>
</ul><div class="blogger-post-footer">http://www.savemore.com/rss/affiliate/182258</div>Lisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06154335578505830096noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4526220442333327529.post-85425662090905882302012-06-19T23:10:00.000-04:002012-06-19T23:23:51.184-04:00Super Doubles Start Tomorrow (better than ever)Hello Charlotte Shoppers!!!

Here are a few goodies:<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Cheap Gas Alert!!! </span></b>I travel all over Charlotte: Dilworth, Southpark, Cotswold, Plaza Midwood, Arboretum, Promenade, Ballantyne, Waxhaw, Carmel Commons, Matthews! The cheapest price for gas that I've found is on the corner of Providence and Old Providence at the Exxon station! It's been $3.47/gallon for over a week now. So if you're going to be in that area - definitely plan a fill-up! Not sure it's worth the extra stop? Maybe not if you have to go out of your way. But, if you buy gas at the average price in Charlotte ($3.56/gallon) instead - you'll pay $1.53 more for the same product and an average of $79.56 more per year (based on a 17 gallon tank - and one fill-up per week for 52 weeks). <br />
<br />
Don't pay much attention to gas prices? Don't think it makes that much difference? Three months ago the average price of gas in Charlotte was somewhere around $3.89/gallon. That's a difference of $.42/gallon - which makes the fill-up of my car $7.14 less each time. That comes out to a difference of $28.56/month and $371.28/year - just with the difference of $.42/gallon! That's a savings I really appreciate! :-) <br />
<br />
Lesson learned? Little difference make a huge impact! What could you do with an extra $371 this year? I certainly have some ideas . . .<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Harris Teeter</b></span> has Eggland's Cage Free Eggs on sale for $2.50/dozen (large). These are normally $3.99. I just sorted through my coupon binder (long over-due) and found tons of $.35 coupons for cage free or organic eggs. We all know that Harris Teeter will double that coupon - so you can get the eggs for only $1.80/dozen. That's a steal of a deal for these eggs!<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Target</span></b> has two deals that I'm particularly interested in.<br />
Selected Pampers Value-Pack Diapers (normally $29.99) and Big-Pack Diapers (normally $19.79) are on clearance for 15% off. While that's not a huge discount, there are some coupons that you could stack:<br />
Big-Pack Diaper Box (app 90 diapers or equivalent to 3 jumbo packs) @ 15% off = $16.82<br />
Use Target $1.00 Coupon (came in the paper a while back)<br />
Use $2.50 Manufacturer Coupon (I have lots of these and am not sure where I got them - only good on boxes)<br />
Pay $13.32 or $4.44/pack<br />
<br />
For those not interested in diapers. . .<br />
<br />
Get a free $5 gift card when you buy any two Gillette items listed: Gillette Fusion ProGlide manual razor, cartridges, Venus razors and cartridges.<br />
Buy Gillete Fusion ProGlide Razor for $9.79<br />
Buy 4-count Gillette Fusion ProGlide manual cartridges for $16.99<br />
Use Buy One Gillette Fusion 4-count or larger cartridge, get ONE Gillette Fusion Razor Free Manufacturer coupon (came in last Sunday's P&G Insert in the paper)<br />
Pay $16.79<br />
Get back $5 gift card<br />
Pay the equivalent of $11.79 for a razor and 4 cartridges (regular cost would be $26.78 - so this is nearly 60% off!!!)<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>UPDATE:</b></span> Just got back from Target and here's the latest: <br />
Razors: Make sure you pick up only the manual razors, the gift card doesn't work with the power ones. My total after you factor in the gift card and my 5% savings by using my Redcard, was only $12.92!<br />
Diapers: The size of the "big packs" is the rough equivalent of 2 jumbo packs. They are not packaged in boxes, so you can't use a "box" coupon on it. The Value-Packs have 132 diapers (for size 3) and were marked down to $25.48 (after the 15% discount). After the two coupons I had, the price was $21.98, or the equivalent to $6/jumbo-pack. Not a phenomenal price, but definitely better than I've been able to do recently.<div class="blogger-post-footer">http://www.savemore.com/rss/affiliate/182258</div>Lisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06154335578505830096noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4526220442333327529.post-284193132293702472012-05-25T13:23:00.000-04:002012-05-25T13:23:19.624-04:00Goodies<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Earth Fare - Lots of fun free/discounted items! </b></span><br />

Regal Cinemas, United Artists, and Edwards Theatres (though Regal is the only one I know of in this area - Arboretum and Stonecrest are participating) are offering select G and PG movies for only $1 of Tuesday and Wednesdays at 10:00 am this summer!

A portion of the proceeds will go to the Will Rogers Institute.<br />
Cinemark Theaters is offering something similar as well! You can pay $1 at the box office, or if you purchase 10 show tickets in advance, you pay a total of $5 (only $.50 per movie)!!! There are no theaters here in Charlotte that are participating, but I know I have some readers from my home town of Monroe, LA - and the Cinemark theater there is participating!
