Be Frugal, Stay Fly!!
Hi Diva’s and Dudes,
I wanted to put out a reminder of how you can use my blog to print out your deals, coupons and just how to navigate it period. Please take the time to review this video and if you have any questions, please let me know.
If you follow me on Instagram or Facebook, you should’ve seen my message to text for your Target Mobile Coupons. If you don’t follow me on either of those outlets, please start following me because sometimes I am able to post things on Instagram before I can post it to the blog. However, here is what you need to do. Text the word “FRESH” to 827438 and also text the word “SPRING” to 827438 to get the following coupons: (FYI: These expire TODAY so do the deal TODAY)
FRESH gets you $12.00 in coupons:
Earlier this week I reported that there was going to be a Money Making Walgreens Deal on the 7up Ten products and it was good for only ONE DAY (3/31/13). Well I am pleased to announce that I scored BIG TIME with that deal. I didn’t realize it I thought I only had 35 of these coupons but I had a WHOOOPING 75 coupons for this deal. Now I can’t drink pop, but it was a money making deal and with my Church’s Anniversary coming up I figured this would be a great contribution to add for the Anniversary Dinner and any upcoming events we may have because well that’s a lot of pop. So I headed to my local Walgreens and completed 60 yes 60 transactions, and to share my blessings on Easter Sunday I left 15 coupons for customers to use. (I am happy to say when I stopped in my Walgreens today, the cashier that rang me up said all 15 of my coupons were claimed and used by customers 8))…Good Deed accomplished. So here is my results with this deal:
I am excited about a little shopping I was able to get done using the Carson’s $50/$100 coupon that is good for today and tomorrow only!! This coupon has been popping up a lot of the last few weeks and I used it a few times to help with Christmas, but decided to venture out and pick up some things today. First of all, let me start by saying there are exclusions at the bottom of the coupon be sure to read those exclusions before shopping. Then I would like to point out what I was advised by the associate at Carson’s that made my day and shopping trip even better. Here’s the scoop: Right now Carson’s has a Yellow Dot (50% off) and a Black Dot (70% off Sale) going on in addition to this coupon circulating. These items are EXCLUDED from the coupon, but there is a catch. It’s EXCLUDED from the $50.00 deduction, but items from the Yellow/Black Dot Clearance sale can help make up your total $100.00. So in essence purchase $50.00 in non-excluded items + $50.00 in Yellow/Black Dot and you will get your non-excluded items for FREE!!!. So here is the breakdown of my 3 transactions.

I posted this morning was the last day to snag $0.39 Syrup at Ultra Foods, so on my way home I made a quick stop to grab me 12 bottles (6 Blueberry & 6 Strawberry). Now I can go on and on about how much I love the syrup from IHop but I won’t because it will only make me hungry. So here is a quick look at what I did:
Purchased 12 Ihop Syrups (12 oz) on sale for $1.39
Used (12) $1/1 Ihop Syrup any size (11/11/12 RP)
Paid: $4.97 with tax
Plus, I gave a nice lady in the store 4 coupons so she could do the deal as well!!! Also this receipt will go with the other Ultra Foods Receipts I have been collecting to help fund raise for my son’s school as they will receive 5% back on all receipts submitted!!!
I did some Dollar Tree Shopping and scored some great deals including $0.50 Kellogg’s Crunchy Nut Cereal, see the original post for how to do the deal. I also scored a freebie (this wasn’t posted) on Reynold’s foil. I purchased a package of Butterball Sub Starters and there was a coupon for $1.00 off of Reynolds Foil, it included the 18ft which is the size they sell at Dollar Tree. So I used that coupon and got it for free – 6 Boxes of Cereal and 1 Reynolds Foil only $3.14 after coupons!
