Target.com Diaper Deal

Thanks to my friend Rhonda who let me know about this deal! So if you didn't have the coupons necessary to get the great Huggies Deal at Walgreens, here's another option for you!

This deal is for Target Up and Up diapers. At Target.com, you can find these diapers for $6.49 when you buy 4. By purchasing 4, you'll save 15% and get free shipping automatically. Use promo code URTYJLI8 at checkout and save an additional 10%. Final price for an order that will ship to Logan will be $20.39 after tax. At least for the size 6 diapers, this isn't quite as good as the Huggies Deal at Walgreens, but close, and a REALLY good deal if you don't have coupons. Not to mention you don't have to go to the store and can do the order from home!

Reviews on the Up and Up diapers seem positive! If you get them or have tried them, leave a comment to let us know how good they are.

Look what I got in the mail today!


A few weeks ago I found out about a free Crest 3D White Smile Sample Kit from Hip2Save. I totally forgot about it until I got it in the mail today! The samples aren't just little travel sizes - they're big! I can't wait to try it. Maybe I should post a before and after photo of my teeth to see if it really works! :-)

It's eventually my goal to start posting freebies like this when I find them. I love to get freebies in the mail! But right now, I'm just a little overwhelmed with training for a marathon, working, and this blog. Of course, if anyone want to take responsibility for finding samples and posting them, let me know. I'd love to have a co-author on the blog!

Make sure you go to bed early tonight because Kohl's is having an early bird sale tomorrow morning! The online sale starts at 1 am and goes to 4 pm, or you can shop in-store from 7 am to 1 pm! You can view their early bird specials now here. I'm exhausted from such a busy week, so I probably won't be making this sale. But leave a comment to let me know what you find!

The Pull-Ups Do the Potty Dance House Party!


A few months ago I happened upon a website called House Party. Basically, they market products for companies by having consumers host house parties to get the word out about the companies' products. I signed up for a few parties, and I've been selected to host a house party!

The party I was chosen for is The Pull-Ups Potty Dance House Party. I'm planning on hosting my party on April 17th (after the tax season is over) at 4:00 pm. We'll learn tips and tricks for how we can potty train our youngsters, and there will be all sorts of free potty training swag given away!

So if you have a toddler who's in training, or if you're thinking of potty training your child, email me at cashincache@gmail.com or leave a comment letting me know your email address and if April 17th at 4 pm is a good day and time for you! If it's overwhelmingly a bad day for most people, then I'll schedule it for a different time!

Walgreens: Huggies Wipes, Diapers, & Pepsi


Huggies wipes could be just $1.00 at Walgreens! Check out KCL to see how. I haven't verified if this will work at our Walgreens, so call first! You can view the coupon flier here.

Don't forget about the great diaper deal! I really do think I have enough diapers now to get us to potty training!

Plus the Pepsi sale is still going on this week!

You can also get 2 Hershey's Chocolate Bars and a coupon for a free bag of Hershey's Pieces! Check out Hip2Save to learn how! I'm so excited about this. I purchase some chocolate bars just because they were a good deal, I still have a candy bar left, so I'm going to eat it tomorrow and sent in for the coupon!

Star Wars Rebate!

Here's a fun little rebate for the kiddies! Check it out at Hip2Save!

Also, the Star Wars Captain Rex Electronic Command Helmet was on sale at Kohls.com for just $19.99! I believe it's now sold out, but it could be available at the store! Might want to check it out. Buy now, then save the gifts for Christmas or a birthday!

Staples: $1 items, including a ream of PAPER!



I am growing to love Staples! Here are some of their $1 dealt this week! Items are limited to 2 per household. I'm so excited about the paper! I go through it so fast now that I print so many coupons. I saw this deal a few weeks ago, too, so I'm thinking they might do it frequently!

Also, this week you can print a coupon for an additional 15% off! That will make the paper reams just $0.25! WOW, that's HOT!

Zebra Z-Grip retractable medium black ball point pens ONLY $1
Regular Price $3.79

Pilot Frixion Hi-Lighters, 3 pk assorted colors ONLY $1
Regular Price $4.99

Staples Stickies, 12 pads per pkg ONLY $1

Thanks, Hip2Save!

Crazy Week for Me!


Hi Friends! So sorry I haven't been posting this week, but I've been so busy! I have a new job at Jackson Hewitt Tax Service. This week and next week, I'm working 40+ hours a week, and in between I'm finding great deals and printing coupons late at night and playing with my kids during the day. Oh, and running on a treadmill, since I'm also currently training for a marathon (check out my blog about that here!).

But never fear, I'll try to post a few great deals tonight! First off, Jackson Hewitt is offering $25 off your tax preparation. There are new tax laws this year that can help you get a great refund, so I highly recommend you see a tax professional to get your taxes prepared. The fees are usually higher than using an online service, but tax professionals will guarantee their work and provide audit assistance if you get audited by the IRS. Just make sure you use a coupon! Take it to the Jackson Hewitt Tax Service office across the street from McDonalds on the south side of Logan, or to the Jackson Hewitt office located at the front of the Walmart store on the north side of Logan. They'll even prepare your taxes while you shop!

What should you take with you to have your taxes prepared?
Social Security card(s)
Driver's License(s)
Dependants' Social Security numbers and dates of birth
Wage statements/W-2s
Tuition and Education Fees/1098-T
Student loan interest/1098-E
Self-employment business income and expenses/1099-MISC
Commissions received/paid
Pension, retirement income/1099-R
Unemployment income/1099-G
Canceled Debt Amount/1099-C
Social Security income/SSA-1099
IRA contributions
Statements on the sales of stocks or bonds/1099-B
Interest and dividend income/1099-INT/1099-DIV
Lottery or gambling winnings/losses
State refund amount/1099-G
Income and expenses from rentals
Alimony paid or received
Record of purchase or sale of residence
Medical and dental expenses
Real estate and personal property taxes
State or local taxes paid
Estimated taxes or foreign taxes paid
Cash and non-cash charitable donations
Mortgage or home equity loan interest paid/1098
Unreimbursed employment-related expenses
Job-related educational expenses
Educator expenses
Casualty or theft losses
Child care expenses and provider information
Information concerning your Stimulus payment check
Last year's Federal and State tax return

How much does it cost to have my taxes done?
It varies based on the complexity of your return. Call the Jackson Hewitt Tax Service office at (435) 787-8399 for a free quote and to set up your appointment! Walk-ins are also welcome.

UPDATE: Olay Regenerist Rebate & Pepsi/Tostitos Rebate

The Walmart on the South end of town still has Regenerist cleansers priced at $5.97! Check out how to make money by submitting a rebate here!

Also, I think I got the last two bags of Tostitos tonight at Walgreens (unless they had more in the back). So you can still submit the Coors Light rebate (no beer purchase required), but you'll have to buy Tostitos somewhere else, or you can buy any of the other products listed on the rebate form. If you want to get the $10 Register Reward, you can purchase $20 of Pepsi, Doritos, Lays, Gatorade, or any of the other items listed in their ad! So even if you choose not to submit for the $7.50 rebate, you can still get basically 50% off an already good sales price! I actually went back tonight to get more Pepsi & chips because you really can't buy 5 12 packs of Pepsi and 2 bags of chips for $10 anywhere else! If you're not a caffeine drinker, they did have a few packs of caffeine free left!

Walgreens: Pepsi Deal Update

I found out today that Doritos are NOT a part of the Coors Light rebate, so make sure you only buy Tostitos or Tostitos Dip with your Pepsi purchase at Walgreens! Make sure you read the fine print. If you've already submitted your rebate (like I did!), they'll send you a postcard saying you didn't meet the requirements and give you instructions on how to fix it.

Free Kids Crafts for Valentine's Day!



Look what I just found on PinchingYourPennies! Free crafts for kids for Valentines Day!

Olay Regenerist Money Maker

UPDATE: I couldn't find any of the Olay Regenerist products for $5.99 at Walmart!

Since turning 30 years old recently, I've noticed I look, well, 30 years old! I see little wrinkles on my face now! That's why I'm excited about this deal!

Right now, Olay has a $15 rebate available when you purchase 2 Olay Regenerist Facial Moisturizers, Facial Treatments, and/or Facial Cleansers by January 24!

You can turn this into a money maker at Walgreens or Walmart! Here's how:

Walgreens:
Buy 2 Olay Regenerist Cleansers (should be marked $7.29 each)
Use 2 $3/1 Olay Regenerist or Definity Facial Moisturizer or Facial Cleanser, any except trial size from the 1/17 PG ad
Pay $8.58 out of pocket
Then submit for the $15 rebate!
Final Price after Rebate: $6 overage!
(Thanks, PYP!)

Walmart:
Buy 2 Olay Regenerist Cleanser products for $5.99 each
Use 2 $3/1 coupons from the 1/17 PG
Pay $5.98
Then submit for the $15 rebate!
Final Price after Rebate: $9 overage!
(Thanks, Hip2Save!)

Smiths Week of January 20



Check out KrazyCouponLady for this weeks deals at Smiths. But unless this is your regular store for grocery shopping, I wouldn't make any special trips this week, since there are no screaming deals. Unless you want to go check out the clearance and mark-down items like I did last week!

My favorite deals:

(This one isn't posted on the KCL site):

There's also a General Mills coupon in the Macey's Ad, so you can mix and match to get $5.00 of your total when you purchase 10 items. That's $0.50 per item, and can help you score the following FREE or really inexpensive items! Remember, this coupon will only deduct $5.00, even if you buy 20 items.

FREE Photobooks!
















Check this out! You can score FREE photobooks and FREE shipping! Not only that, you can get one FREE photobook per month! Just go to Hotprints.com to learn how!

I'm definitely NOT a scrapbooker, and I rarely even print off my photos. So this will be a great way for me to create a memory album for my family. I'm planning on going back to 2006 when my first little girl was born, and starting there to play catch up!

The reviews I've read about these are very positive. I guess they just include advertisements in the box with your book (not anywhere in the book itself, don't worry!), so that's how they can make it FREE!

Have you used Hotprints before? If so, what did you think?

I'll let you know how my first book turns out (if I ever find time to make it)!

Smiths Managers Specials & Closeouts


So yesterday I was in Smiths and I decided to check out their shopping carts that are loaded with food towards the back of the store. These usually have items in them that are marked down by 50% or more. I got a few nice deals! Always look in these carts to see if you have anything you can pair with a coupon to make an extra good deal. Also check the expiration dates, but this time nothing expired before fall of 2011!
Some things I got included:
  • French's Onions (the kind you use to make green bean casserole) - These were marked down to $2.14, plus I had coupons from a previous Sunday paper!
  • Decorator icing for my baby's upcoming birthday for $1.25 a tube.
  • Natures Valley Granola Nut Clusters for $1.99 (and I used the $1 coupon from coupons.com)
  • Quaker True Delight granola bars for $1.79 (again, I had a $1/2 coupon from coupons.com!)
  • Jeri's BBQ Sauce for $1.49 - I've never had this, but thought it seemed like a good deal!
  • Reynolds Oven Bags (the kind for turkeys or large hams) for $.99 for a box of 2

The following items were also marked down. These weren't in the carts, but clear in the back by the dairy section. There's a table set up off the main shopping route in a little hallway that goes into an employee only section (that sounds kinda creepy, doesn't it?):

  • Small containers of store brand baby formula for $4.99 (regularly marked $9.99) - And no, I'm not pregnant, but these don't expire till fall of 2011, so I couldn't pass it up! You don't get good deals on baby formula very often!
  • Sunscreen SPF 15 for $2.44

As I browsed the store at 10:30 at night, I also discovered they have a lot of items on close-out prices, such as L'Oreal Vive Pro Shampoo, Conditioner, and Styling Gel for $2.44 (and, you got it, I had a coupon!).

A few weeks ago I also looked in the dairy section across from the milk in one of those coolers in the middle of the aisle. There was Yoplait Fiber One Yogurt and a couple other varieties that were marked down to $0.88! I had a $1 coupon, so that was better than free yogurt!

My point is, look for these unadvertised deals. They can cut your grocery bill way down, even if you don't have any coupons to use.

Please leave a comment if you know of any other stores that have these great finds!

Next Week at Walgreens - AWESOME Diaper Deal!

KrazyCouponLady says she knows about a great deal for Huggies Diapers next week at Walgreens! As in a jumbo pack of diapers for just $4.32! I asked the store manager about it, and he said he thinks he remembers seeing it in the ad for next week. I let him know he'd better stock up! So start printing Huggies coupons from coupons.com!

Now my dilemma is to decide if I want to even get the diapers! I think my baby is about ready for potty training, and I still have several packs left from the last sale. Decisions, decisions! I can't imagine I'd let this deal slide me by, so I'll probably be there getting diapers on Monday!
