Look what showed up on my doorstep yesterday...

It is the body washes that I ordered from Alice that I posted about earlier. I spent $12.96 and will get back a $15 rebate, so I actually will end up making money by purchasing these body washes!! And I didn't even have to get out of my pajamas or up from the computer to do it! If you want to take advantage of this offer, go here to see all of the details. Alice still has several varieties of these body washes available.

I love free stuff, but when I get paid to get stuff - I love it even more!

Retail Me Not!

If you shop online then you need to know about Retailmenot. It is a site where you can go to search for any coupons or codes to use when shopping. Most of the codes are for use online but sometimes you can find printable coupons for in-store use as well.

I always go to this website to look for a discount code before making any purchase online.

Pair it up with Cashbaq or the gift cards you can earn through Swagbucks and it makes for awesome deals!!

World Market - $10 off of $30 purchase coupon!

I love shopping at Cost Plus World Market. They have awesome foods and home decor. Go here to print out a $10 off of $30 purchase coupon good for use in-store. This coupon is good through March 14th so you have plenty of time to get in and find some good stuff!

New Pepperidge Farm Goldish Coupon - $.75/1!

A new $.75/1 Goldfish cracker coupon has been added to Coupons.com. I would suggest printing this out now as these tend to go fast. Hold onto it and wait for a good sale and you will get cheap or free Goldfish crackers. If you have little ones, you know that you can never have enough Goldfish crackers in the house!

(Thanks, HCW!)

$1.50/1 Kashi Coupon

Go here to print out a $1.50/1 Kashi Heart to Heart cereal or cracker coupon. I love Kashi products and the fact that they have been offering so many great coupons lately!

Free Hallmark Card!

Hallmark just launched a new line of kids cards geared towards cheering them on in everyday life. Go to your nearest Hallmark store to snag one of nine cards completely free (up to a $1.99 value), this offer is only available in-store through 3/14! Go here for more details.

Just when you thought the cereal and milk deal couldn't get any sweeter...

UPDATE: Apparently I cannot read or do math! The coupon with this deal is $1/3, not $1/2, so you can only use 1 when you purchase the 4 boxes of cereal. Still makes this a killer deal at $5 for 2 gallons of milk and 4 boxes of cereal, and you still get back a $3 catalina coupon that you can use on your next purchase!

Rumor has it that when you purchase 4 Kelloggs cereal, including the ones that are a part of the buy 2 gallons of milk and 4 boxes of cereal for $6 promotion, a $3 catalina coupon will print out at the register when you check out. This catalina is like cash toward your next purchase. Taking into account the $3 catalina, it is like getting 2 gallons of milk and 4 boxes of cereal for ONLY $1, that is a total of $.17 per item!! That may just about be the best deal I've seen on milk, not even including the 4 boxes of cereal! Let me know if you are able to score this super awesome deal!!

Go here if you need more details on this promotion at King Soopers this week.

King Soopers Milk & Cereal Deal Again!

UPDATE: Apparently I cannot read of do math! The coupon with this deal is $1/3, not $1/2, so you can only use 1 when you purchase the 4 boxes of cereal. Still makes this a killer deal at $5 for 2 gallons of milk and 4 boxes of cereal, an you still get back a $3 catalina coupon that you can use on your next purchase!

I just wanted to highlight this deal again since it is an awesome deal to get 2 gallons of milk and 4 boxes of cereal all for a total of $4! This week at King Soopers if you purchase 2 gallons of Colorado Proud Milk and 4 of any of the following products:
Keebler Pecan Sandies
Keebler Town House Crackers

Kellogg's Apple Jacks

Kellogg's Corn Pops

Kellogg's Fruit Loops

Kellogg's Rice Crispies

Kellogg's Frosted Flakes

Kellogg's Raisin Bran


You will get them for $1 each or $6 for 2 gallons of milk and 4 cereal, cookies or crackers.

Here is a scenario I came up with to get the best deal...
Buy 2 gallons of milk
Buy 4 Kellogg's Cereal
Use 2 $1/3 from the 2/7 RP
Cost = $4 for 2 gallons of milk and 4 boxes of cereal!!

You can usually spend $4 for just the 2 gallons of milk, so this deal is like getting 4 boxes of cereal for free!

A couple of fun things to do this Saturday...

Lowe's is having their Build and Grow clinic this Saturday from 10 - 11 am. Go here to register. This project is recommended for kids in grades 1 - 5. It is completely free and a really fun activity to do with your kids.

If you have younger kids, then Michaels is having a fun craft for them from 10 am - 1 pm, while supplies last, so I'd suggest going sooner rather than later! It is recommended for ages 4 and up and is a Science Fair Theme where kids will be able to make their own 3D Molecules out of modeling clay, like the one here...
I don't believe that registration is necessary but you may want to check with your local store, go here to find your closest store.
