FREE Entertainment at Bass Pro Shops for the Family!

I wanted to repost this because this is a great summer time activity, especially for Las Vegas where you want your summers to be indoors. This is the last week for these classes! For more info see my post here.

Free Kids Movies at Regal Cinemas!

Do you need a nice air conditioned environment and entertainment for your kids? ? Regal Entertainment has a GREAT program for the summer! Every Tuesday and Wednesday mornings at 10 AM, Regal Entertainment will show a FREE kids movie. This is first come, first served but when I have gone in the past, there has been no problem getting in. Check the website for local listings but I will let you know all the movies for the Colonnade Stadium at8880 South Eastern Ave. Tuesday June 30th is the first movie, Horton Hears A Who (G) Wednesday July 1st- 10AM movie is Inkheart (PG).

Free Lego Event for Adults and Kids at the Malcolm Library

This looks like a great program! I wish I would be in town for this one. At the Malcolm Library (2960 Sunridge Heights Pkwy) on Wednesday, July 1st at 4:00 pm there will be a LEGO challenge to build different structures from the LEGO Architecture Collection. Looks like they are going to build the Space Needle, The Empire State Building and the Guggenheim Museum. It looks like so much fun to do with your kids!

Free Chocolate Fridays- Get your coupons Now!

Just a reminder that you can get a coupon for free chocolate every Friday from Mars up to 4 per household. Just sign up here at the Real Chocolate website.

Check your Reciepts

I got home from shopping yesterday and had a chance to look at my receipts. I am glad I went over them because I had 2 things happen that shouldn't have. At Albertson's I got charged twice for one set of hot dogs. Why would I buy two when I only had one free coupon? They took care of it with out any problems. At Smiths, I ended up with a box of Bisquick for $1.99 that I didn't even pick out. Did I need Bisquick? No, I already bought that last week for 30 cents each with a 60 cent off coupon. You know how it says under the line item on your receipt "You saved .80" to tell you how much you saved by being a rewards member? The girl at customer service subtracted that from my $1.99 before she gave me a refund. Wait a minute, I paid $1.99 but you are only going to refund $1.19? I thought that meant if I didn't have a rewards card, I would have paid $2.79. It is only .80 cents but I feel gypped! I am not going to drag my 3 kids back there though for .80 cents. Oh well.

FREE Glidden Paint today only!

Today you can go to the website at Glidden Paint and sign up for a free quart of paint! If the website doesn't work, you can call to order at 1-800-GLIDDEN. I think this freebie comes as a coupon so you can pick out the color you want! Thanks Money Saving Mom!

Update-- I just ordered mine online and you pick out your color right then and there. I tried the 800 number but it just hung up on me.

Reminder for the Summertime Tales at the Library at the Galleria

This is a reminder just in case you have forgotten about this opportunity for tomorrow morning. Now through August 20th, the Henderson Library at the Galleria mall is hosting a free activity for kids from 9:30-10:30am. They say there will be stories, songs, activities and special surprise Guests. Just get it on your calendar and if you need something to do with the kids on thursdays, you have an automatic free plan.

CVS Steal of A Deal! I Spent 24 cents!

I was going to use my $5 Extra Bucks at CVS today to scoop up the .99 cents Always Infinity pads, but when I got to the store and scanned my card at the magic coupon giver, I got a $5 off $15 coupon there! Score! I put my $5 Extra Bucks back in my wallet to spend another day and did this deal:

3 Always Infinity Pads $4.99 each

-3 coupons for $4 off Always pads in the June P&G

1 Milky Way Fun pack $1.50

I gave the cashier my $5 off $15 first then my other Always coupons and the total was...Applause please.....

.24 Cents

Thank you CVS for my (very close to) free things today.

Eyeglasses for Pennies on the Dollar!

This is one of the best deals that I have found out about since I have been reading about saving money online. I found this website called Zenni Optical from Money Saving Mom and since my son just came home with a note that he needed glasses, I thought I would try it out. I went to the eye doctor and got his exam and prescription, then I ordered the actual glasses online at Zenni Optical. You do need to ask for a measurement they don't usually write down called pupillary distance but the doctor at Walmart was great when I asked her for it. (Some shops try to keep that to themselves so you have to get glasses from them.) Anyway, Zenni has some unbelievable prices on glasses, starting at $8. We ordered one pair of children's glasses at $8 and then splurged with another titanium half frame spring loaded frame for $22. Both pairs with anti-reflective coating and shipping cost me $48. If you have ever ordered glasses before, you KNOW that this was a great deal, especially since you also know these glasses will eventually be lost (kids). Also, they make you in charge of your prescription, so if you have the info, you can order a pair even outside of a year. This was a great example of me being able to Do More for Less!

Free Dagoba Organic Chocolate Bar

Since I am already online and this deal happens in about 10 minutes, I am going to spill the beans about it. Be one of the first 2,009 people to submit an entry when the first new moon of summer appears in Dagoba’s hometown of Ashland, Ore. – Hint: that's 9:03 p.m. PST today – and you could be rewarded with a coupon for a free Dagoba Organic Chocolate bar. Click HERE to get your free chocolate bar! If you happen to be reading my blog, you can cash in on this too. I love free chocolate.

Tuesday and Wednesday's Free Movie!

Do you need a nice air conditioned environment and entertainment for your kids? Regal Entertainment has a GREAT program for the summer! Every Tuesday and Wednesday mornings at 10 AM, Regal Entertainment will show a FREE kids movie. This is first come, first served but when I have gone in the past, there has been no problem getting in. Check the website for local listings but I will let you know all the movies for the Colonnade Stadium at
8880 South Eastern Ave. Tuesday June 23rd is the first movie, Kit Kittredge: American Girl and the (G) Wednesday June 24th- 10AM movie is Nim's Island (PG). When we went last week, they were actually showing BOTH movies.

Bass Pro Shops Free Family Activities!

This really does look fun for the kids! At Bass Pro Shops (available all over but there is one on 8200 Dean Martin Dr. Exit Windmill from the I15) there will be great free activities to take the kids to. They are running this program in the afternoon on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays until July 5th. With mini classes on fishing, shooting, archery, camping, plants and insects, animal identification, hiking, and bird watching, your kids will be fully entertained for free a whole afternoon. What a great way to entertain your Cub Scout! For the schedule of free classes click here.

Galleria at Sunset and Henderson Libraries have a Free Activity every Thursday

Old Navy Strikes Again- UPDATE

***TOO LATE!*** The coupon reset this morning (Friday) at 11:20am. No, I didn't get one this time...I shouldn't have let the kids play on the computer!***
Old Navy has started their countdown again for their very awesome $75 off $100 coupons. That is, if you can find them fast enough. To have the best chance of getting one of these great coupons, I keep http://www.swaggrabber.com/ up for their chat room. They will ring a bell when the hunt begins. I also keep a tab up for http://oldnavyweekly.com/ which you will have to refresh once the bell goes off to get the right page. Are you interested in getting these coupons but have no idea what I am talking about? This post on swaggrabber will answer most of your questions. I have never snatched the $75 off $100 but I have got the $50 off $100 coupon twice. It was very nice for my husband last week because of their existing half off men's sale.

Free Orange Julius on Friday June 19th!

Need something cheap or free to do on Friday night? Well, print out this coupon for a free Orange Julius and go have one on them! You do need the coupon to get this free offer but it is available all day. There is a Dairy Queen/Orange Julius at the mall on Sunset. Want something to do for free with the kids during the day? If you have them wear Flip Flops and are one of the first 500 customers, you can get a free Tropical Smoothie at Tropical Smoothie Cafe, 10612 S Eastern, in honor of National Flip Flop Day!

Free DiGiorno Coupon

You can request a coupon for a Free DiGiorno Flatbread Melt by going here to this website and signing up. Since I have been couponing, I have gotten coupons for free hot dogs, free magazines, and other high value coupons. I would say that having these coupons are valuable especially if you treat them like you would treat money. Before I started this, I didn't pay any attention to coupons or sales and just figured I would go to Walmart. Now, when I have a coupon for a dollar, I try to treat that like an additional dollar in my pocket. I KNOW I have saved money by doing this.

Free Kids' Movies For Summertime

Do you need a nice air conditioned environment and entertainment for your kids? Regal Entertainment has a GREAT program for the summer! Every Tuesday and Wednesday mornings at 10 AM, Regal Entertainment will show a FREE kids movie.

Get an Old Navy Coupon for yourself!

The Old Navy coupon is back and should reset today. Remember that to get the good ones, you need to be online when they are released. I am hoping for one because they have a half off men's sale this week and my hubby wants new clothes. If I can get 1/2 off then a $75 off $100 coupon, that would be awesome! I am having 2 websites up simulataneously. The first is http://oldnavyweekly.com and the other is a chat room at http://www.swaggrabber.com . The people in there are experienced coupon hunters and will share all their clues with you when the coupons become active. If you have never hunted for these coupons before, practice finding them at http://media.oldnavyweekly.com (this is the old site). That way you will know what to expect.

Totals for Albertsons Buy $25 and get $10 back sale

I am finished with my Albertsons shopping now for this sale. I basically bought everything on the list for the $25 deal that had a coupon for it. Most of the coupons I got online but there were a couple from the Red Plum. In addition to the picture in the last post, I also got the following(Sorry there is no picture for the rest):
8 bags Chex Mix
2 boxes cherios (make sure to grab the right ones)
4 boxes of Coca Puffs
2 boxes of Trix
1 bag of Bugles
6 boxes of GoGurt (I made a mistake on this- they are with this deal in other parts of the country but not in Henderson)
1 box cake mix Betty Crocker
3 more Wishbone Salad Spritzers
With my last $10 coupon I bought (things I really needed):
4 gallons of milk
1 Morton Water Softener Salt

The total for all these items before sales and coupons would have been $265.13 according to the savings boxes added up for all 6 transactions, but with my $10 coupons and sales and my Manufacturers and internet coupons, I only paid $55.33!

The Albertsons sale is the BOMB! Spend $25 and get $10 back!

I just went to Albertsons to check out their buy $25 in selected items and get $10 back. It worked perfectly! I did 2 transactions and got my $10 coupon each time. If you want to do this too, a great resourse is AThriftyMom. She also has a great Questions and Answers about the sale here. She has all the links to print out these coupons (I did with 2 computers) and then you hand them your stack of coupons and you are getting these items for pennies! My total for my first transaction was $17.65 and my second transaction was $5.95 with another $10 coupon for my next trip !

See Indiana Jones and the Legend of the Crystal Skull outdoors for FREE!

Bring your picnic basket and blanket for this outdoor movie experience. Your movie is shown to you outdoors right by the lake making it a great night. For JUNE 11th, the movie will be Indiana Jones – The Legend of the Crystal Skull The movie starts at 8 PM! For Directions to Lake Las Vegas click here!

Sell your books back to Cash 4 Books- They pay you and Shipping is Free!

I just sold back some law books to Cash 4 Books and it was easier than I thought. Although they didn't take everything that I wanted to unload, they did pay well for what they took. I sold 5 books and got paid almost $70 to my paypal account with free shipping. They will take any type of book if they have it on their inventory list. All you do is type in the ISBN number found on the bar code on the back of the book and they will tell you how much they will pay you for it. Then you just print out their shipping label and drop your books off. It is a great way to lighten the book load and get paid for it!

Old Navy Weekly update

Hey guys! Old navy still isn't updated yet and I am going to try for the $75 off $100! Join me at http://oldnavyweekly.com/ !

Krispy Kreme Donut Time Today Friday June 5th

My kids were so excited about this, we had to go get our Krispy Kreme Donut before school today. They let us pick out any kind of donut we wanted for our free one! Of course we needed chocolate donuts with sprinkles on them. Incidentally, Dunkin Donuts also thinks National Donut Day is important so they are giving away free donuts too!

Don't forget your Free Chocolate Today

Just a reminder that you can get a coupon for free chocolate every Friday from Mars up to 4 per household. Just sign up here at the Real Chocolate website. Enjoy! I got my first coupons this week.

Walgreens Super Run $9.84 for 14 items with $10 RR for next time!

These were the results from my Walgreens trip today. On each transaction I ran my loot the the car and came back in to shop again so I wouldn't get confused and so the cashier wouldn't say too much.

Paid $0.15 Out of Pocket and got a $2 RR from the Ecotrin and $3 RR from the Fiber Plus and Kellogs Bars.

-$10 RR from Trans #5
-$2 RR from Trans #2
-$19.99 Scrubbing Bubbles coupon (I bought one for $4 when it was on sale at Walgreens but it didn't work. I called the company and they sent me a coupon for a new one.)
Total $4.24 ($1.68 plus $2.56 tax- NV is expensive) and I got a $10 RR back from the Revlon Blowdryer
SO My grand total for all these Items= $9.84

So, my grand total for 14 items was $9.84 and I still have a $10 RR to shop with next week. I was very happy with my trip to Walgreens!

CVS Diaper Run

I thought I had enough diapers for months, but Soren was sick for almost 3 weeks and we went through those diapers fast! This was the best deal I could find. I was going to buy 2 Hawaiian Tropic Sunscreens and get $10 back but then I looked at them and discovered that they were not really sunscreens. Not good for Las Vegas. The diapers were $8.99 each and I had one $2 coupon and one $1.50 coupon. Total out of pocket was $15.87. Better Luck next time!

Target for 40 Cents!

I didn't buy a lot of things, but what I did buy was esentially free! (OK so the soda was frivolous but I still have the tendency to impulse purchase). The Degree deodorants were $1.97 not $2.49 like they were in the rest of the country so I ended up making money on those to pay for my soda. So, I used the $1.50 off Target coupon from Red Plum and the $1 off coupon from SS. I only spent $0.40 on this trip. I would have bought more deodorants if I had the coupons for them. I was looking for more items (Quaker Pancake mix and the Hefty trial size bags) but I tend to stike out at Target quite a bit.

Walgreens Shopping Trip

Guess how much I spent at Walgreens today for all this loot? Stay tuned I will update...

Sonic Has Free Rootbeer Floats Tonight!

I you go to Sonic tonight, there will be free rootbeer floats from 8pm to midnight. The closest one is on Warm Springs. It's always smart to call ahead to confirm. Sonic's website is http://sonicdrivein.com/

Old Navy Coupons!

Did you know that at Old Navy Weekly they have coupons available? These are not just any old coupons, they are GREAT COUPONS! The way it works is that on the first day the new coupons are released, they have these awesome coupons, but only a limited number of them. This week there were $75 off $100 coupons (yes, you are reading this right), $50 off $100 coupons and 30% off $50 and other lesser coupons. I wasn't able to get the $75 off $100 because they went in a matter of minutes but I was able to get a $50 off $100 coupon. I went shopping today and I did better at Old Navy than I would have at Goodwill. Seriously. I will let you know when the next coupon release is.

Free Movie Night from Red Box

Did you know that you can get a free movie from Red Box on Monday nights? There has been some talk about them doing away with this great feature but until then...tonight's free code is: FM63H7. When I first tried this, I didn't know that BEFORE you start selecting your movie you have to press Rent a Movie with a promo code at the bottom left hand of the screen. Enjoy the movie!
