My pictures that need printing always add up in the summer with so many great photo-ops.  So I was excited to find this offer for free prints from CVS.

CVS is offering up to 50 FREE prints when you sign up for an account. You’ll receive 20 prints just for registering and an additional 30 when you add your CVS Extra Care Card!

Choose in-store pickup and won’t even have to pay shipping and handling.

Did you sign up for Kraft First Taste yet?  If not, what are you waiting for?!  It’s such a simple way to get coupons for free food sent straight to your mailbox.  Plus, it’s a great way to earn major cool points with your friends since you’ll receive coupons to share!

And now General Mills is offering a very similar program called Pssst… I just signed up and am looking forward to receiving even more free food coupons from them!

If you don’t want to be jealous of all the free food I start getting, I guess you better go sign up for Kraft First Taste and Pssst….today!

wateroos

Here’s a fun little tidbit of information for the day:  Did you know that most juice boxes contain 5 teaspooons of water (learn more)?  If that is disturbing to you, you’ll be excited to learn about Wateroos–kid’s juice-box-type drinks, but are simply all-natural fruit-flavored purified water.

You’ll also LOVE this deal going on at Babies R Us.  This week they are on sale for $3.49 each, buy one get one 50% off (prices may vary). PLUS you can send in this rebate form when you buy four of them and receive a $10 gift card to Babies R Us/Toys R Us or Whole Foods. Your grand total after the sale and rebate will be $.47 for four six packs!

Sweet!  I will definitely be adding this to my $10 Challenge this week.  How about you?!

Thanks, Coupon Geek!

I don’t want you to miss out on a moneymaker scenario at CVS next week, so I recommend printing this $2 off Post Trail Mix Crunch coupon right now! It will go fast once CVSers become aware of the deal next week!

You also won’t want to miss this $3 off Huggies Pull-Up printable (IE) or printable (FF)!  Print it while it lasts–and don’t forget to hit the back browser to get two!  I recommend saving these for the Huggies diaper deal at Rite Aid during the week of July 12.

Thanks, Deal Seeking Mom!
