Let's Make a Deal

Or at least share one...

Oriental Trading has a good shipping deal until December 18...just $2.95 delivery with this code: ACM906. I can't wait to use it!

Also, get Cheerios coupons by signing up to make your heart healthy. They send you a $1 coupon once a week for 6 weeks. For other general mills coupons sign up at the box tops website. Even if you don't go to public schools, and you're feeling charitable, you can shop through their website and they'll donate a portion of the sale to a school you choose. There are some more of these kinds of websites but I don't have time to find them all...I bet you could google it if you want to!

I found some fantastic coupons just on coupons.com, although they sometimes don't have much. Let's just say I got a box of rice crispies for less than a dollar, then on that box there was a save a dollar on marshmallows so hurrah for cheap treats!

I also started using reusable grocery bags. They are usually $1 in the store, but I get 5cents for every bag I use at the store. I saved 20 cents the other day, and I've saved more before. Once in a while I get plastic bags, but only so I have something on hand to throw away KA's dirty diapers! After I empty the bags, I store them inside one of them and keep it in the van so I always have them with me. They are much easier to carry and I haven't had one break on me yet!

Don't forget the coupons in the back of your phone book!

And while I'm at it, did you sign up for free ice cream on your birthday? Try Baskin Robins, Cold Stone (sorry RC friends...), and others. I used to get coupons from Pizza Hut.com and other restaurants. Try it!

O.K. Cheapskates/Thrifties/SmartiePants...have fun! And share your own deals with me, after all, that's half the fun!
