About Me

I'm a stay-at-home mom of 2 beautiful girls - ages 2 and 4. I've been married to my wonderful husband since 2003. I graduated from BYU in 1996 with a BS in Sports Medicine and worked in that field until the birth of our first daughter. My husband works for BYU (even though he's a Utah grad) and loves my thriftiness. :-)

I've always loved finding a great deal and used coupons sporadically until a couple of years ago. Then I really started having fun! I now get 6 newspapers every Sunday and scour the internet for amazing deals that I love to share with others.

I was always calling or emailing my friends and family with my great finds, so I figured I'd put it all in one place and I started blogging. So here it is!

Sunflower Market

So yesterday was my first trip to Sunflower Market, (I know I'm a little late to the party...) and I loved it!! The fruit and veggies were amazing! I got corn on the cob (10/$2), raspberries ($1/pack), bananas, and bing cherries ($1.69/lb) - I LOVE summer!!

I wandered the aisles, but just stuck to my fruits and veggie purchases. Does anyone know if they accept Manufactures Coupons? It was a fun, new store that I plan on making a regular favorite!

How to Make "Stuff" at Home

Homemade Spray N Wash

Homemade Foaming Hand Soap
"I do my own foaming hand soap too. But I don't like to use anti-bacterials. So I do the same thing with Dr. Brommer's peppermint soap. I use a ratio somewhere between 1:5 and 1:7 soap: water. The beauty is it doesn't have to be exact. Gentle on the skin, environment and your budget." (Thanks Al)

Rain Checks for Free KFC Chicken Meals

Looks like KFC is no longer accepting the coupons for the free meal from Oprah's website. (You might call your KFC because some are still taking them.)

They ARE giving out rain checks for a free meal. They gave us a form to fill out and send in.

Here's the link from the KFC website.

We are so sorry, but due to the overwhelming response to our FREE Kentucky Grilled Chicken™ meal coupon, we can no longer redeem the free coupon at this time. But we will honor our commitment to giving you a free Kentucky Grilled Chicken meal.

Please visit a participating KFC restaurant for a rain check form. Complete the form, attach your original coupon , and give it to the KFC restaurant manager or postmark per the form’s instructions, by May 19, 2009, and we’ll send you a rain check for your free Kentucky Grilled Chicken meal at a later date, plus a free Pepsi with our compliments. Your participating KFC restaurant will provide you with the form you need.

Please note that the redemption periods of the rain checks will vary. All other terms and conditions of the original free Kentucky Grilled Chicken coupon will apply.

Zyrtec Scenarios

Register Rewards at Walgreens

Here's some info on Walgreens Register Rewards. Now that they have done away with their rebate program, we will be seeing more Register Rewards (RR) deals. The term Register Rewards and Catalina can be used interchangeably.

These are money off coupons to use on your next order. They print off from the Catalina machine beside the register. Purchase a certain item, get a catalina for $ off your next purchase. Last month, Crest mouthwash was on sale for $4.49 and when you bought it, you would get a RR for $4.50 off your next purchase.

But, BEWARE, these are not rollable. Meaning, you cannot use that RR that you got on Crest Mouthwash to buy another bottle of Crest Mouthwash and expect to get another RR.

But, you CAN use a RR from one company to buy a RR product from another company. For example, you could use the above mentioned, Crest Mouthwash RR to pay for Dove deodorant. If the Dove deodorant was included in a RR, then you will get the RR for it, even though you paid with a RR. Because those RR are from different companies.

You can use as many manufactures coupons (MFQ) and RR as you have items purchased. So if you want to use 2 RR and 6 MFQ, you must have at least 8 items that you are purchasing.

You can use as many RR in a single transaction as you have products and a balance. RR will not work for taxes. If, after MFQ and RR, you have a balance of $2.06 and you have 1 more RR worth $2, the register will not accept it because it would be paying against the taxes.

Also, the best order to hand the cashier your coupons is:
1 - Manufactures Coupons
2 - Store Coupons
3 - Register Rewards

Barnes & Noble Summer Reading 2009

Click here for Barnes & Noble Summer Reading Program 2009.

Here's How It Works:

1. Kids read any eight books of their own choosing.
2. Kids use the Summer Reading Journal to tell us their favorite part of each book. A parent/guardian signs the journal when it's complete.
3. Children bring their completed Reading Journal to a Barnes & Noble Store between May 26th & September 7th, 2009.
4. We'll give them a coupon for a FREE book! They choose from a list of exceptional paperback titles.*

*Eligible books will be listed on the coupon. Choices must be made from available stock. No special orders. Limit of one form per school-age child (grades 1-6), please. Incomplete forms will be ineligible for free books.
