Cheap Mac N Cheese This Week At Wags!


Borrowed from my friend, moonflower, on WeUseCoupons:

Kraft Mac'n Cheese is .69 (regularly $1.59) using the WAGS coupon

Use b3g1f Kraft Mac n' cheese - give this coupon first

Here is the math

4 Mac 'n cheese = $6.36
- B3G1F = - 1.59
= $4.77
- 3.60 for WAGS coupon

= 1.17 for 4 Kraft Mac 'n Cheese

.29 each..Not a bad deal in my book!!

Anyone Want To Get $71.82 of Olay Products for $3.82 appox?

Starting 7/12 CVS has the Olay "buy $20 get $10 ECBs". You would need 3 different cards to do this as the limit is 1 deal per card.

However, since I have mine, dh, and son's - here is the scenario:

Buy 6 Olay products @ $3.99 ea = $23.94
Use 6 x $1/1 MQs = - $6.00
Total = $17.94
Get $10 back in ECBs

Do this on three different cards so:

$17.94 x 3 = $53.82
3 x $10 = - $30.00
Total = $23.82

Then apply for the Olay rebate that has when you purchase $50 worth of Olay you get $20 back.

TOtal = $23.82
- $20.00 rebate from Olay
= $3.82 for $71.82 worth of Olay

The rebate form is here: Skin Care Products, Advice And Treatments At Olay.com

Congratulations to Dudley! America's Top Dog Model

In honor of the winner of this year's America's Top Dog Model - an Old English Sheepdog here is a picture of me with my 3 sheepies piled on top of me.


This has absolutely nothing to do with couponing and everything to do with my love for Old English Sheepdogs. I rescue and foster this breed of dogs and have 3 of them currently at my home, Lucky, Samson & London (aka Brat Baby).

I wanted to say congratulations to Dudley, an Old English Sheepdog, for being crowned the winner in America's Top Dog Model. GO DUDLEY!

You can see his picture here: America's Top Dog Model 2009

I am starting a virtual class in stockpiling using only drugstores on the We Use Coupons forum. If you would like to know how to do it - please join us. It is called: Stockpiling: From Baby Steps to a Drugstore Queen.

Free E-Book: Secrets of Entertainment

Most everyone has seen the Entertainment Book around. Walgreens on the corner of Jefferson and Corporate sell it at their counters. But have you ever purchased one or even taken the time to look inside? Did you know there are coupons that can be used inside of it? AHA!

Julie Parrish, one of the owners of HotCouponWorld, has written a book which shows the average shopper how to maximize the savings found in the Entertainment Book. The book she has is a free download found here.

The e-book shows you how to use the BOGO restaurant coupons, how to save money at various attractions. Are you planning on having a stay at home vacation due to the economy or are you getting away? Either way you can save money using the coupons in the Entertainment Book - and Julie shows you how to use them to the fullest with chapters/sections on Daily Living and Entertainment plus more.

Entertainment book is also offering a deal where if you pre-order the 2010 edition, you get the 2009 free. There is still plenty of time to use the 2009 coupons before they expire.
