Summer Activities for Kids

Looking for something for your kids to do this summer? Look no further! Go here for a list of dozens of activities held right here in Cache Valley. From library story times to camps, this list has it all for all age groups. Very informative and useful! Now the problem is going to be just picking a few activities so we don't get overwhelmed!

Let me know which activities you'll sign your children up for!

Thanks, Cynthia, for the head up about the list!

Circus Gatti at the Fairgrounds!

The circus is coming! Well, it's here, actually! There were already 2 performances today, and there will be 2 more tomorrow at 4:15 pm and 7:30 pm at the Cache County Fairgrounds. Walgreens, the McDonalds in Hyrum, and I'm assuming other places around town have coupons for $2 off adult tickets and FREE for kids 12 and under.

To get the $2 off adult tickets, place your order here, and enter coupon code 2290 at checkout. Tickets are regularly $22 for adults and $10 for children, so still pretty expensive, IMO. This make it $20 for an adult ticket.

To get the FREE entrance for children 12 and under, take your coupon to the gate when you go to the performance.

So what do you think? Is it worth it? For me and my family of 4, it would still cost us $40. Yikes! I bought 2 adult day passes to Raging Waters and a $50 gift certificate to This is the Place Heritage Park today for just slightly more than that at CityDeals! Go here to get the Raging Waters deal and here to get the This is the Place Heritage Park deal.

The Divvy Up Consignment Sale Starts Tomorrow!

The Divvy Up is having a consignment sale at the Cache County Fairgrounds! The Pre-Sale starts tomorrow afternoon for consignors and volunteers. On Friday, the sale is open to the public and runs from 10 am to 6 pm. Items still available on Saturday will sell for half-price (if the consignor elected to do so) from 8 am to 1 pm. For more details, go here.

At the Divvy Up you’ll be able to find great deals on everything from maternity and infant clothes, carriers, cribs, bouncy seats and more! Clothing ranges in sizes from infant up to junior size 13. Also included in the sale are indoor and outdoor toys, books, videos, puzzles, games, decorations and more! Items have been carefully scrutinized, and consignors pay a fee to use the sale, so prices will be slightly higher then a garage sale, but still a fraction of what you would find at retail store.

Take a wagon, big basket, or stroller to help hold your items until you're ready to purchase.

Let me know if you get any great deals!

Grocery Shopping This Week: Printable Shopping Lists Are Up!

Grocery Smarts' printable shopping lists are up! If you're going to do only one thing to help slash your grocery budget, this is it. Just by using these lists and buying only 4 and 5 star items, you'll save 50%!

Never used Grocery Smarts' printable shopping lists? Here's how:

• To view the printable shopping lists, go here.
  
• On the right hand side it says "Enter a PASSPORT." Enter g84rcm and click "submit".
• Then select your store in the drop down menu on the center of your screen.
• Now you should see a list of the current sales at your store, already matched up with coupons! The coupons are listed in the column titled "Coupon Index."
• To read the coupons listed, the coupon is described by what product it is for, the value of the coupon and how many you have to buy. The date in parentheses is the date the coupon expires. Following that, there is a description such as SS-3/28, which means it came from the March 28 Smart Source insert in the Sunday Paper. RP stands for Red Plum, and PG stands for Proctor & Gamble. Note: Our RedPlum comes on Tuesday, but it is still dated for the following Sunday.
• If a coupon is printable, there will be a link to where you need to go to print it.
  
• Notice the red or black stars on the left hand side of the table? Four or five red stars mean that's a great price, and if your family uses that item, you should stock up!
• You can shrink these printable lists to include only 4 and 5 star items by clicking on the "start" button at the top right of the screen. Then click the single red star on top right hand corner of the table. Now click "shrink" on the top right of the screen again. Now you have just the items that are really good prices this week. You can print your list from here, if you'd like.
• Or, before you shrink your list, you can also highlight just the items you need to get that week. The click "shrink" and you'll have just the items you need.
  

Pretty easy! However, this list doesn't include EVERY coupon out there, either regular coupons or printable coupons. It only includes newspaper insert coupons and coupons from the Grocery Smarts coupon database. So you still want to know what other coupons you have so you can compare them with the sale prices, and have a price point in mind of what you're willing to spend on certain items.

Printable Shopping Lists & Grocery Shopping This Week: Smiths, Maceys, and More

As I look over Pinching Your Pennies printable shopping lists for Smiths, Maceys, and Walmart (the three stores I frequent for groceries), I don't think I'll make a trip to any of those stores this week. There's nothing that's an impressive enough price to me, and frankly, I need a break! That means with the exception of a diaper run to Walgreens tonight, I'm done shopping for the week!

Never used Pinching Your Pennies' printable shopping lists? Here's how:

• To view the printable shopping lists, go here.
  
• On the right hand side it says "Enter a PASSPORT." Enter g84rcm and click "submit".
• Then select your store in the drop down menu on the center of your screen.
• Now you should see a list of the current sales at your store, already matched up with coupons! The coupons are listed in the column titled "Coupon Index."
• To read the coupons listed, the coupon is described by what product it is for, the value of the coupon and how many you have to buy. The date in parentheses is the date the coupon expires. Following that, there is a description such as SS-3/28, which means it came from the March 28 Smart Source insert in the Sunday Paper. RP stands for Red Plum, and PG stands for Proctor & Gamble. Note: Our RedPlum comes on Tuesday, but it is still dated for the following Sunday.
• If a coupon is printable, there will be a link to where you need to go to print it.

Then click the single red star on top right hand corner of the table. Now click "shrink" on the top right of the screen again. Now you have just the items that are really good prices this week. You can print your list from here, if you'd like.
• Or, before you shrink your list, you can also highlight just the items you need to get that week. The click "shrink" and you'll have just the items you need.
  

Pretty easy! However, this list doesn't include EVERY coupon out there, either regular coupons or printable coupons. It only includes newspaper insert coupons and coupons from the Grocery Smarts coupon database. So you still want to know what other coupons you have so you can compare them with the sale prices, and have a price point in mind of what you're willing to spend on certain items.

Another great place for printable coupons

Another great place for printable coupons is Eat Better America. Go here to get coupons like:

$1 off Yoplait Delights Multipack
$0.75 off Kix Cereal
$0.50 off Green Giant Frozen Bagged Veggies

+ more!

I'm planning on doing a joy school with my youngest next year, so this will be great to add to the curriculum! There are also fun things I'll do with both my kids some rainy day this summer.

Great Blogs to Visit

So I have a potential partner for the blog! We'll see how it works out. I still doubt we'll be posting EVERY deal and EVERY coupon like I've been doing. Like I said, it's already out there, and I don't feel it's important for me to duplicate other blogs. The only added benefit I was providing was allowing you to just come to one place, so you didn't have to search all these other blogs.

So where should you go to find the deals? Here are my 4 favorite blogs:

Hip2Save - This is my all time favorite. The blogger, Collin, is my hero. She's in North Carolina, so the deals vary slightly from what is available to us. I read this blog several times a day.

Utah Deal Diva - IMO, this is the go-to blog for Utah. She posts great deals about Smiths and other events going on.

Utah Shopping Secrets/Pinching Your Pennies - I love their printable shopping lists. VERY easy to use, and great for a beginning couponer.

The Krazy Coupon Lady - The bloggers are 2 ladies from Idaho and California, but they do get a few things the other 3 blogs miss. I really like their catalina section.

If you're really into finding deals, you can also checkout Buxr for nation-wide deals. Two website for local deals are SumSay (just launched!) and City Deals (search by your zip code).

Happy shopping, and stay tuned to see what else I come up with to make this blog unique to Saving Cash in Cache Valley!

Center Street Grill: $25 gift certificate for $10.63!

Here's another great Cache Valley local business deal! Right now you can get a $25 gift certificate to Center Street Grill for just $10.63 at City Deals! The introductory offer is $12.50, and enter SPRINGCLEANING at checkout.

I haven't ever eaten there, but for a deal like that, I sure will!

If you have eaten there before, please leave a comment to let us know how it is!

Woo hoo!

Cache Valley Fun Park: $11 gift certificate for $5.50!

This is definitely a deal I want to post, since it's a Cache Valley local business! Right now on City Deals, you can get an $11 gift certificate for just $5.50!

I took my kids there for my youngest daughter's birthday, and they had so much fun! We'll save this for my other daughter's birthday in June!

Dilemma

So I have a DILEMMA. I enjoy writing this blog and sharing savings, but it doesn't seem like I have a high readership. I haven't posted since Friday, because I've been busy with my family, and now that the weather is so nice outside, I don't think I'll be spending much time on the computer. I confess, I've felt a bit of burn out, and something has to give. Plus, much of what I post on the blog is a duplicate of information found elsewhere in the blogosphere.

So for now, unless I get several comments pleading me to do otherwise, I'll be postponing writing this blog until I have a better idea of where I want it to go, or until someone offers to share the burdern of deal finding with me. Instead I'll be focusing my time and efforts on (1) playing with my family this summer, (2) starting my first garden, (3) cashing in on the deals I find.

I will still share deals on facebook when they have a share link, because I love to tell others about deals I find! So become my friend on facebook!

Maceys: Facebook Special Today Only!

Today only, get 10 – 12 oz Select Varieties Hormel Little Sizzlers for just $0.88 each at Maceys! When you check out, mention to your cashier that you'd like to get the "Facebook special price" on your sausages. Awesome!

What is House Party?

On Saturday, April 17 I'll be hosting a Do the Potty Dance House Party sponsored by Huggies Pull-ups! I'm excited about this party because it means I get to have great friends over and exchange potty ideas with them, and give them COOL FREE stuff from Huggies Pull-ups! If you want to come, please leave a comment!

I also recently hosted a DiGiorno House Party, and it was so much fun to get together and eat pizza and breadsticks with friends, all sponsored by DiGiorno! Plus, everyone went home with several $4.00 coupons!

How did I get so lucky to do this? I applied to be a host on House Party. To learn more about House Party and to sign up so you can start to be a host (it's FREE!), go here. Upcoming events include:

Smith's: $0.20 for Life and Other Quaker Cereals!

Wow, Utah Deal Diva just sent out the alert about a screamin' deal on Quaker products at Smiths, starting tomorrow!

On the front page of the Smith's ad, they have a 5/$5 when you buy 5 participating Quaker Cereal or Oatmeal, including 14-16 oz Cap'n Crunch Original, Crunchberry, or Peanut Butter or Life Original or Cinnamon 0r 11.2 to 15.1 oz Quaker Instant Oatmeal, select varieties. This is a pretty good deal by itself, but WAIT - it gets even better!

Utah Deal Diva noticed a manufacturers coupon in the Associated Food Stores (Maceys, Lees, Fresh Market) ad for $3/5 Quaker products! It does say to use in AFS stores, but Utah Deal Diva called her Smith's manager and they said they'd accept the coupon! I'll call as soon as I can to check out Smith's!

So here's the deal using that coupon:
Purchase 5 participating Quaker items, Cap'n Crunch or Life cereal, $2 each
Total: $10
Save $5 instantly (per ad)
Use $3/5 coupon from AFS ad
Final Price: $2, or $0.40 per item!

But WAIT! It gets EVEN better! There are two printable coupons for Quaker Products!
$1/1 any Quaker Instant oatmeal
$1/1 any Quaker True Delights oatmeal

If you can print 5 of these coupons (you would need 2 computers), then here's the deal:
Purchase 5 participating Quaker items, Cap'n Crunch or Life cereal, $2 each
Total: $10
Save $5 instantly (per ad)
Use 5 of the following coupons
$1/1 any Quaker Instant oatmeal
$1/1 any Quaker True Delights oatmeal
Final Price: FREE!
(Note: If you can only print out four of the coupons because you only have one computer, then it's still only $1, or just $0.20 a box!)

My family doesn't eat much oatmeal, so if anyone wants me to print off coupons (I can print off 4 of each!), please let me know! I'd be happy to give them to you! First come first serve!

FREE Gas at ExxonMobil!

Wow, check this out! Sign up for ExxonMobil's free Speedpass program, and use promo code UPM10. To learn about Speedpass, go here. From what I've read, once you sign up, you'll receive your activation kit within 7 to 10 days, and inside will be a gift card for $20! With the price of gas rising, this is a deal we can't pass up!

Now, just a heads up, when I try to search for a Speedpass retailer in Logan, nothing pops up. Neither did a retailer in Salt Lake or Boise. But several popped up for Pocatello. So this might be something you have to save for a road trip, but still a great deal!
