Living Large on a Limited Budget
It’s 9 AM–have you gotten your free chocolate yet?
Every Friday through September, Mars will be giving away 250,000 coupons to be redeemed for your favorite Mars product. Simply head to www.realchocolate.com starting at 9 a.m. ET to enter the giveaway. You can also enter your e-mail address to be sent a reminder.
You’ll receive your coupon by mail within six weeks. Limit four coupons per household during the offer period.
We got all four of ours last week–it was a happy day!
Go here to print your coupon for a free 12-oz. beverage at a Border’s with a Seattle’s Best Coffee cafe. No purchase necessary. Coupon is good through June 18, 2009.
Enjoy!
We are big coffee drinkers in our house. In fact, I’ve been known to call us coffee brats because we tend to be a little bit picky about how we like our coffee.
That’s why I’ve been pleased to discover that we enjoy 8 O’Clock coffee. It’s definitely one of the less expensive brands available. And since good coffee can be expensive, this makes me very happy.
But, did you know that 8 O’Clock coffee has a rewards program? It’s called Accumul8 Rewards and it’s a great way to earn gift cards and other fun rewards.
I am impressed with how quickly rewards add up as well. I just signed up and already have 710 points simply from answering a survey and adding information from two bags of coffee (one large and one small). I already have enough points for a coupon for a free bag of coffee and a mug! (However, I have my eye on the $25 Visa Gift card at 2500 points.) Go here to sign up!
AND to make this deal even sweeter right now, go here to get a $1/1 coupon for 8 O’Clock coffee. Be sure to print out two!
Now excuse me while I take another sip of this Hazelnut yumminess. Mmm…
Here’s a great Bath & Body Works coupon for a FREE trial size item with any purchase.
I love these coupons because you can purchase anything in the store and get your free item. Even gifts bags, other trial sizes, etc. count as a purchase. Let us know what cheapie you find!
Also, through Sunday, June 14th, use this 20% off Bath & Body Works coupon to get 20% off any $25 or more purchase. Thanks, Holly!

tool. The widget will be 300px by 301px, and will feature a search

allows you to generate referrals through the registration tab, and

Here are a few of my favorite freebies of the day:
I’m finally ready for my big race tonight.
“What big race?” you ask.
My ‘Race-Around-To-As-Many-Stores-As-Possible-While-Wes-Watches-The-Kids-For-a-Couple-Hours’ Race. Let me tell you, if there were a prize, I would win it. I am one focused girl when it comes to squeezing in as many deals as possible in the time allotted.
Since I’m organizing my list anyway, I thought I might as well share it with you. It includes:
Aldi:
Just printed out my E-Mealz menu and shopping list and –VOILA!– my menu planning is done. Kind of looking forward to trying ‘Salsa Sirloin Salad’ this week. Yummy.
Staples:
I found this great deal on printer paper from Mercedes at Common Sense with Money:
HammerMill Copy Paper (500 sheets), $4.99
$3.99 Staples Easy Rebate (limit 2)
$1 after rebate! Offer good in stores until 6/13.
Target:
I plan on getting quite a few things here, including this Crystal Light deal, this Degree Men’s Deodorant deal, my free Mars candy bars, and a few other miscellaneous items I need.
CVS:
Gotta get some free Dawn Dish detergent and Kellogg’s Frosted Mini Wheats for $.79 a box after ECBs.
That should do it for this week. Don’t want to strain a muscle before the next big race!
Here are the best deals currently available at Wal-Mart, with thanks to Christina from Centsible Savings for her help in compiling these! She has the scoop on a variety of grocery stores that you may want to check out.
As always, keep in mind that prices and coupon amounts will vary slightly by region.
If you are having trouble with your Wal-Mart not accepting printable coupons, you can print out the corporate coupon policy here, which clearly states that they will accept printable coupons. If neither the cashier or manager will accept the printable coupons after you have kindly showed them the policy, you may want to call Wal-Mart’s corporate offices.
