Free Sample from Fiber One + $5 in coupons

Northern Cheapskate made me aware of this freebie...

Click --> HERE <-- for a free sample of Fiber One Honey Clusters, a Fiber One Oats & Chocolate bar (my fav!) and $5 in coupons!  Target often has these on their "Buy 5, Get $5 Gift Card" - a perfect time to use these coupons.

Jo-Ann Fabrics Coupon Event

I got an email today from Jo-Ann Fabrics, they are having a "Coupon Commotion Week" both in the store and online, September 20-26.  Here are the coupons listed in the email:

• 40% off any regular-priced Notions item
• 40% off any regular-priced Fabric
• 40% off any regular-priced craft, floral or framing
• 40% off any regular-priced item
• 50% off any regular-priced item
• 50% off your custom framing order

I am planning on attending a "Scrapping Weekend Getaway" with my sister-in-law in October (maybe I can actually start on that scrapbook from when Henry was BORN! LOL) so perhaps I'll take advantage of that 50% off item and get something cheap and nifty for the weekend!

There is a pretty good chance these coupons will also be available in-store - usually their flyers are right by the entrance.

If anyone reading this would like the online codes, just let me know and I'll send them your way!

Free Starbucks?!! Yes please!

If you have a Starbucks gift card there are quite a few beneifts of registering it on their website:

Complimentary Beverage Customization - Purchase a beverage with your registered Starbucks Card and you can get select syrup and milk options (like soy) on the house.

Free Refills on Brewed Coffee - Your registered Starbucks Card gets you brewed or iced coffee refills at no charge.

Free Beverage with Whole Bean Purchase - Get more coffee with your coffee. When you use your registered Starbucks Card to buy 1 lb of our whole bean coffee, we'll give you any tall (12 fl oz) beverage of your choice.

Up to Two Hours Free Wi-Fi Daily - Surf while you sit in coffeehouse comfort. With your active registered Starbucks Card, you'll receive up to two hours of Wi-Fi service every day.

And now, you will also get a free beverage on your birthday when you register your card!

Needless to say...I just registered the card I've had in my purse for ages now. It has less than $3 on it, but I can always re-load it to continue to take advantage of these freebies!

(Thanks "Deal"icious Mom for the heads-up!)

What's in the mail?

I only started signing up for random samples and freebies recently.  I keep waiting for my mailbox to be exploding with goodies, but so far I've just received a few items:

• Kashi cereal sample, including a $2 coupon that I may use at Target this week...
• Hotprints.com photobook (free photobook that uses your Facebook pictures - Joe thought it was really cool and so did I!)
• And a while back I got a really great coupon book of P&G items

I will try to be more diligent about sharing my freebie finds on this blog - most of them I find from other bloggers, so I can do a quick link back!

Win a School Year's Supply of Wonder Bread!

"Deal"icious Mom is currently running a contest and giving away a school year's supply of free Wonder bread - 20 coupons!  Her blog also details on the awesomeness of Wonder bread and the nutrition found in it.  It might be better than you even already think!

Go check it out --> HERE <-- for your chance to win!

Is the Kashi frozen pizza on their "Buy 5, get $5" this week - or is it just the bars, crackers and cereals?

Menu Plan Monday

From the many blogs I read, I have noticed a good number of the writers participate in OrgJunkie's Menu Plan Monday.  Since I already menu plan, I thought why not join in on the fun and make Monday my official day to share with you?  It's always fun to share meals and read others meal ideas to expand my horizons a bit--perhaps you'll find a new meal to expand your family's array of dishes!

Here are the dishes I have set for this week...I usually don't apply them to a certain day:

• Tuesday night we do have a set meal...we are having friends over for a church conference being broadcast from Michigan, so we'll take advantage of Godfather's Pizza's "Top it Tuesday" deal and buy a couple Jumbo size pizza's-up to 5 toppings-for $12.99.  We have chips for a side, and I'll make cookies (or if I don't have time, we'll do Snack Pack pudding!) for dessert.
• Wednesday night, to avoid the "quick throw something together and scarf it down before church" rush: Pork and potatoes in the crock pot, veggies (and possibly biscuits)
• Spaghetti with chicken, salad, veggie
• Turkey burgers and hot dogs on the grill, baked fries, corn on the cob
• Chicken stirfry, rice

Betty Crocker coupons

When you sign up with BettyCrocker.com you have access to a few unique, or increased value, coupons-others are the same as you'll find on coupons.com.

Here are a few I like currently out there:

SAVE $1.00 ON TWO
when you buy TWO BOXES any flavor Fiber One Chewy Bars.

SAVE $1.00 ON TWO

when you buy TWO any flavor 17.5 OZ. OR LARGER Betty Crocker® Cookie Mixes

 

SAVE $1.00 ON EIGHT

$7.40 total, $1.48 per box after gift card which you cannot apply directly to this order
