Free box of Touch of Gray



Just last night my husband asked me to cut his hair, he said too much gray was showing from under his baseball cap. So I got the clippers out & went to town on the only haircut I know how to give someone, a buzz cut! Trust me, nobody on this planet wants me coming near their hair with scissors! Anyway, I told him that a buzz cut isn't the fix for his dilemma , that I would get him a box of men's hair color. And here it is, the answer the very next day!
I guess he can keep his short cut for the remainder of the summer, but I'll be ready with my free box the next time he asks!

How many will you buy??


This is the only magazine I will pay money for. The rest I get as freebies, mostly through AdPerk.
Make sure you get your copy this month, the August edition. I picked up 4 & may get more.

Here is what you can get FREE when you buy Kool-Aid packages (my Wal-Mart’s are 20 cents)

Kraft Cheese Singles 12 oz. Package
Nabisco Wheat Thins (get the big box, the coupon says up to $4.50)
Oscar Mayer Hot Dogs (up to $4.51)
Kraft Dressing 16 oz.
Crystal Light (up to $4.50)

To get all of these, you would need 15 Kool-Aid packages for $3.00. But you can split them up, they don't expire until 9/30/08.

And if you don’t want the Kool-Aid, you can buy any 3 items made by Kraft, Nabisco, or Oscar Mayer. Kool-Aid just happens to be the lowest cost item from Kraft & I have never seen my store run out of these.

Plus, this magazine has tons of other coupons, like the $1.00 off any Kotex that translates to a free 18 ct. box at Wal-Mart. And some for the toothpaste for CVS this month.

These magazines are only available at Wal-Mart, or through a subscription. The cover price says 1.97, but they ring up for 1.77 here in Central Texas.

So, total for all this after MIR & Q’s = $10.64

HOT new CVS $2/$10 !!!!!!

Whoo-hoooo!!!!!!!! Click HERE
The coupon is on page 30 & does not expire until September 28th!
Thanks to Deal Seaking Mom for sharing this!!!

If you are new to CVSing, these coupons are highly saught after because they can really reduce your out of pocket spending. When you have these coupons, split up your purchases into smaller ones. You want to try to get your total just over $10 (for this coupon). Depending on what you are buying and the coupons you are using, you may need to go over a bit more so you won't be negative on your total. CVS will not give an overage. In that case, you buy what we call filler items, candy / gum/ anything you may need that doesn't cost very much to get the purchase total to where you owe something. Even if it is one cent (which happens a lot!).

Free Movie Monday



172GJZ

I just love these! We have been taking full advantage of the free movie codes at my house. We rented College Road Trip last time for the kids & they loved it.

You can use these codes once per credit/debit card. So you can get 3 movies if you have 3 cards. I usually just get 2 because that is all we will have time to watch. The movies have to be returned by 9:00 the following night so you won't be charged.

Free Sample



Receive a Free night time renewal kit with DVD, a TEMPUR Material sample, and more.

Great Coupon Day!

It is the first Sunday of the month, that means P&G Brandsaver!! That makes for 3 inserts today! Yipee!

I cleaned out my coupon box last night to take out the expired ones, there were a lot ending on the 31st of July, so now I have room for the new ones. It took forever!

I didn't shop much last week, too much going on here. My 11 year olds football team started practice last Monday, he is so happy to be back on the field. I couldn't do it, I just sit there for 2 hours while the practice, but in the 100 degree heat, I feel like I just got out of a practice. But, they love it (and yes, they take plenty of water breaks & coach tells them over & over if you need water, go get some).

He's going for QB this year! It's his last year to be able to play at this level, next year it will be middle school. Yikes!

I did get in my $10 Target gift card from Ebates & my rebates from Zout & Excedrin Back & Body (that was super FAST) & some of my Walmart samples. Make sure you get in on all those, they arrive pretty quick & most of the time come with a great coupon.

Anyway, I plan on shopping more & posting more this week! Don't forget to enter my giveaway!
