Coupon Preview & Reminder

We should be getting 1 Smart Source insert and 1 Red Plum insert this week. Go HERE to view the full expected list. Please keep in mind that the coupons do sometimes vary depending on the region that you are in.

Coupons to Note:

*Frito Lay baked snacks $.55 off (doubles to $1 off, combine with sale for inexpensive snacks)
*Airwick coupons (possible cheap/free products w/sale)
*Betty Crocker fruit snacks $.50/2 (Good coupon to have, if you combine with sale)
*Fiber One Bars $.50 off (doubles for cheap product after sale)
*Purex laundry soap and fabric softener coupons (When doubled & w/sale cheap laundry soap)
*Tyson anytizers, and bagged frozen product $1 off (combine w/Meijer frozen foods coupons for a good deal on these)
*Welch's Aqua Juice $.75 off (doubles to $1 off at Kroger or Meijer. Combine with the B1G1 free coupon in my coupons.com box on the left sidebar, for a better deal on juice.)
*Garnier haircare $1 off (combine w/sale at Walgreen or CVS for inexpensive haircare)
*Hefty Waste bags $1 off (I haven't seen this coupon in awhile)
*Scotch Brite Nail saver sponge $.50 off (I have gotten these free with this coupon after sale & coupon doubling at Kroger in the past.)

**As a reminder, you can get the Sunday paper for $1 each at your local "Deals" store, or "Dollar Tree". This week I'm not sure if the Sunday newspaper is still on sale for $.99 at Kroger, I will go there first to check! I always recommend getting an even number of newspapers, because of BOGO sales ect. (minimum 2 newspapers a week)

So, How many newspapers will I buy?
It is not an awesome week for coupons again! I would say that I'd probably get 2-4 newspapers this week. The only coupon that I'm even the least bit excited about is the Tysons coupons because my kids love the chicken nuggets, chicken fries, and chicken patties. My youngest son, Evan would probably live off of chicken nuggets if I let him! LOL!







How many papers do you plan on getting this week? Please leave a comment & share!

Thrifty Tips- Earn Free Gift Cards!

Did you know that you can actually earn Free gift cards, just by simply reading emails? It's true!
I've been a member for awhile now at MyPoints, and it is a super easy way to earn free gift cards!

Here's the Lowdown about MyPoints....

What is MyPoints?

MyPoints is a rewards program that you can use to earn points by reading emails, taking surveys, making online purchases, doing online searches, printing coupons and more. After you accrue enough points, you can then redeem them for gift cards from over 70 merchants!

Getting Started:

Please email me directly at Tips from a mom of 3 @ yahoo (dot) com.
(No spaces & correct form.) Ask me to send you a referral email! (Thank you!) Or you can go directly to MyPoints.com. Registration is easy and only takes a few minutes, and membership is free.
*Here's a Tip for you... When signing up for MyPoints make sure to make an email account designated for MyPoints. For example... my email is Amysmypoints @ yahoo.com. Only my MyPoints emails go to that email address. That way they are not bogging down any of my other email accounts. Once weekly I log into my MyPoints account & read a few emails!

Start Earning Points:
After you sign up, complete your profile for 60 points! Don't forget to sign up for the Bonus Mail e-mails from MyPoints (This is how I earn my points.) You will receive 5 points every time that you click on a link on the email, and even more points if you decide to sign up for the offer. I usually only click for the 5 points, or complete surveys, all the other stuff advertised in the email isn't worth the hassle for me, most of the time.

I love getting free gift cards, whether it's for a splurge for myself, or to give as a gift!

So what are you waiting for? Please email me, and sign up now to start collecting points!
