The opportunities really are endless!!

There seriously is a way to get EVERYTHING for free if you work hard enough at it. A prime example just popped up. Glidden is giving away a quart of paint to the first 200,000. The hardest part was picking a color but after a little clicking I decided on a lovely shade of blue and my quart of paint will be on my doorstep in 8-10 weeks. Simply go to http://www.glidden.com/ to check it out, but hurry because they won't last long!

HAPPY CINCO DE MAYO!

In honor of Cinco de Mayo I was able to scour the net for this sweet deal. All you have to do is "like" Jose Cuervo on Facebook and admit that you suck at making margarita's and you will get a $3 off coupon. The only catch is you have to upload a video or a photo of yourself in order to get the coupon. The sweet part is that this coupon is valid through 10/31/2011 so you could use it today OR you could wait until Hyvee has Jose on sale this summer and get it for super cheap then! No matter how you choose to use your coupon it's sure to be an enjoyable time!

Super Cheap Potatoes

I'm not really a big potato eater BUT who doesn't love a BOGO so if you go to http://www.klondikebrands.com/ you can print off a coupon for Green Giant Klondike Rose Potatoes.

See you in the aisles ;)

My Favorite Deal of the Week!

Dig that receipt from yesterdays McD's run out from under your car seat! On the back of current McDonald's receipts you will receive a coupon for a free dollar item with the purchase of a Frozen Strawberry Lemonade. I bought the small Lemonade as pictured above and got a free side salad with italian dressing. My lunch was complete for $1.71 and I must admit this tasty little concoction is my new guilty pleasure! I would totally look the other way if you stole someone else's receipt out of the garbage or even off their tray in order to take advantage of this sweet deal! My favorite part is (well actually there are two faves!) these coupons are good until August, which means a whole summer of tasty, refreshing drinks AND when I followed through on my purchase today I received another coupon for another lemonade deal. This could be a nasty cycle of free dollar items for the purchase of the lemonade for the entire summer!! Woot Woot!~

My First Couponing Experience

I have always been fascinated with finding the best bargain possible. Why should I pay more for something that I can get for less, I work very hard for my family and thinking about how many hours I have to work just to buy groceries really angers me. For instance, I despise cleaning so why would I want to spend my hard earned money on cleaning supplies? I find little solace in this, in fact, it makes me darn right angry! I started by thinking about the little purchases I make frequently I decided how much I actually wanted to spend on them. Like toothpaste, I enjoy clean teeth but really I get very little enjoyment our of the product. I really don't want to spend premium prices on this short-lived, consumable product, SO I will won't pay more than .50 for a full size tube.

The first thing that small towners need to realize is on that show many of the couponers visit stores that "double" coupons. There are not any stores that double within feasible driving distance of my house. So frustrating!

The second thing is "don't be picky." Brand loyalty means very little when trying to find the best deal. Aside from that fact many products have the same active ingredients they are just in different packaging so in many instances the name on the box matters very little. DISCLAIMER: I will admit that there are certain items that I must stay loyal to, I am sure you will find your own and those are the items that are important to you and that's fine because you are already #winning with everything in your cart.

My shopping is done primarily at WalMart, Hyvee, and Walgreens. Typically I find the best deals on products at Walgreens and Walmart. Whenever something is on sale at Hyvee you can go to Walmart and more times than not they have already beaten the sale price by at least a few pennies, if they haven't they will always match prices for like items. In this respect a trip to Hyvee almost seems worthless. Although occasionally Walmart will not carry the exact item (size, flavor, etc.) and you will have to purchase it at Hyvee.

Throughout this blog I will post my weekly super deal list, these are the things I cannot live without this week. I will also post the freebies I have scored; there is nothing I like more than a free product, even if is the sample size. Enjoy my journey and I will see you guys and gals in the aisles!
