Free VeggieTales DVD - just pay $2.99 for shipping

Riley loves VeggieTales so I was excited to see this offer. Get your choice of 3 VeggieTale DVDs when you sign up for the Big Idea newsletter and pay $2.99 shipping. Not much more than a rental and you get to keep it! :) By the way, it states one per customer so I signed Jeremy up with his e-mail address as well.

Aveeno deal at CVS!

I am really looking forward to this next week at CVS because the past few weeks have been super lame. There are a few freebies in addition to the Aveeno deal (spend $20, get $10 ECB) - which is what I am super excited about! $2 printables for Aveeno are available at Aveeno.com in addition to the shampoo coupons and such in the paper. Also - remember to scan your CVS card at the coupon center if you have one because I have gotten several Aveeno and facial care coupons over the past few weeks.

Here is my plan:
Aveeno shampoo - $6.50
Aveeno night cream moisturizer - $15
Total: $21.50
-$2 Aveeno shampoo
- $2 Aveeno actival naturals
- $2 CVS Aveeno coupon
-$3 off $15 CVS facial care coupon (both are from scanner)
Pay $12.50 in ECB and get $10 ECB back

Not a money maker, but not bad for good stuff that I actually use. If you don't have the CVS coupons, you could purchase two shampoos and one cleanser and use 3 $2 coupons to get your total down fairly low.

Tip for finding high value coupons....

Even if you don't drink, check the wine area when you are at the store. I find hangtags on wine bottles quite frequently with some pretty high value coupons and, by law, no alcohol purchase is required to use them. Just for example, I found a hangtag titled "Build Your Perfect Burger" last week here in Greenville at Walmart and inside were $1 when you purchase ground beef and $1 when you purchase two avocados coupons. Both of which were already in my buggy and to sweeten the deal even more, the avocadoes were 2/$1 that day!

New link for the awesome Kraft coupons!!!!

OK - I was absolutely loving all of those Kraft coupons that were available on coupons.com last month. I have a huge stockpile of Kraft barbecue sauce, Oscar Mayer hot dogs, Kraft cheese blocks and singles, KoolAid, Country Time, Wheat Thins, Ritz crackers and the list goes on. I didn't pay anymore than 50 cents for any of those items after price matching or combining the manu coupons with Target coupons. I was sad to see most of the coupons disappear when the month ended.

AWESOME NEWS!!! The coupons are still available on cookingwithkraft.com and it let me reprint all of them. If you don't see much you need, at least print the Kraft barbecue sauce one because that'll earn you a few cents in overage at Walmart. The $1 Honey Maid one is also great to use with the $1 insert coupon when you buy HM graham crackers, marshmellows and Hershey's chocolate. The $1 off Ritz works great with the Buy Ritz crackers and get Wheat Thins free insert coupon. The Ritz were $2.50 at my WalMart so $1.50 for two boxes of crackers!

Pottery Barn Kids lunch bags for $5.39 shipped!

Pottery Barn Kids has their Peyton lunch bags on "hidden" clearance for $5.99 with free shipping. Go through this link for an additional 10 percent off anything and then search for product number 68-5864715 in the search box. Monogramming is an additional $6.50 if you choose to do that.

When ordering something from PBK, always remember to try and add the current clearance prefix numbers (right now it is 68-) to the product number and search for it. Obtain the product number by first adding something to your cart. If the product is scheduled to drop in price within the next few weeks, it will sometimes bring the item up at a discounted price. This is great for Christmas gifts as many of the toys will start dropping in price around mid December!

CVS trash bag clearance

I haven't been blogging about CVS lately because it just seems like the deals have been a little sparse. However, I went ahead to my store this morning to do the Hawaiian Tropic and toilet paper deals. At my coupon center, I got a $1 off any Glade Air Freshener coupon and used that to get the Glade spray for free and also got a $5 off any Lumene and used this on the small $2.99 container for $2.01 in overage. I also found some large packs of Hefty trash bags on clearance for $1.50. Use the $1 insert coupon on these to make them 50 cents a peice! My store had 3 different varieties on clearance for this price.

Get 20% off at Great Wolf Lodge this summer!

Jeremy and I were thinking about taking the kids here sometime this summer for a night. It is pretty expensive so I was happy to find these codes. Generally, discounts for the GWL are fairly hard to find. Use promo code FUN, GREEN, or WOLF when booking rooms. Also look at the calendar and chose the days shaded in white to get the best pricing. I got a family suite down to $183 for a single night (4 water park passes included). Book by 7/1. Offer valid for travel through Sept 3. These are the same codes people are selling on ebay for $10!

Mall deals this weekend!

I figured that I just might take a trip to the mall this weekend with all of these great coupons!

First, stop at Bath & Body Works and get a free lip item with any purchase. You can usually get nail files, etc. for $1 and under! Coupon here.

Next, swing by JC Penney and get $10 off a $25 purchase. I usually hit the clearance racks here and buy essentials like underwear, socks and pajamas for my kids. Coupon here.

Check out Victoria's Secret annual sale. They always have some great deals and if you are a VS cardholder, you more than likely have a $10 rewards card to use!

Martin & Osa recently sent their mail list subscribers a $10 coupon on any purchase (no minimum). Sign up for their list and see if they are still sending them! This coupon is a unique bar code so I can't post it here.

Macy's also has a private sale going on. Use this coupon to get 25% off your men's clothing purchase.

2 free Texas Rangers tickets!

OK - this does require about 15 minutes worth of effort but it's totally painless. Go here and submit 25 votes for the Texas Rangers to play in the 2009 All Star Game and they'll give you 2 tickets! The form auto saves your information so you don't have to type it in 25 times. :)

Free lettuce wraps at PF Changs with purchase of an entree!

Yay! The lettuce wraps are my favorite thing there! I think they are around $6-7.

Bar S Coupon & Oscar Mayer deal

In last week's inserts, there were coupons for $1 off 2 Bar S products and $1 off 2 Oscar Mayer hot dogs. The Bar S hot dogs frequently go on sale for under $1 and, if you have a Super One Food, they are 98 cents right now so 96 cents for two packs after coupon! The $1 off 2 Oscar Mayer coupon is a great one to combine with the $1 off 2 Oscar Mayer Target coupon. I am not sure how much the hot dogs are at Target but I am hoping around 2 for $3 so they would be $1 for two packs. Between these two deals, I'll have my freezer stocked with hot dogs for the entire summer!

Here is a printable link for the Bar S coupon so you can get extra copies.

Free music download from Coldplay + $5 new Green Day

Coldplay is offering a free download of 9 of their live songs here. I love Coldplay and this sure beats paying $16 for a new album!

Also, Amazon is offering the new Green Day album for $5 as a daily special. If you have never downloaded music from Amazon, you'll be prompted to install some software but it is quick and painless.

Free shipping at Anthropologie.com

I am a HUGE fan of Anthropologie, but, in the years I've been shopping there, coupon codes have been far and few between. The best they can usually do is free shipping on a purchase of $200. Ick! However, through the end of the summer, they are offering free shipping to anyone who links their Anthro card number to their online account. Before you balk, please know that the Anthro card is not a credit card rather just a fancy way for them to get you signed up for their mailing lists. Sign up for an Anthro card here and you'll receive your card number shortly. Follow the directions in the email to link your card and then when you sign on to Anthropologie.com, you'll automatically see the shipping discount in your card. I just ordered the Sluice Gate Blouse (on clearance) for $19.99 with free shipping! Yay!

$5 off 2 entrees at Chilis

I got this coupon in my email and used it at the Greenville location tonight with no issues. Several other blogs have posted about it so it should be nationwide. Click on the image to bring up a printable coupon.

Become a fan of Snapple on Facebook and get a B1G1 coupon. I was able to print this twice from the link off of their Facebook page.
