Cheap or free kraft velveeta shells dinner @ Walmart

The Velveeta Shells & Cheese Dinner by Kraft is rumored to be on rollback for $1 so if you have the IP from Kraft it will be free!

Here are some free or really inexpensive things to do with your kids this summer!

1. Free Film Festival @ Regal Cinemas every Tuesday and Wednesday @ 10 am. Different movies every week for the next 8 weeks.

2. $1 Movies for Charity @ AMC Theatres. While these are not FREE, they do support local causes and are @ 10 am every Wednesday beginning June 17th.

3. Hit your local library for summer reading! There are some locations that have story time and these are good for the kids and great for rainy days.

4. Send your kids to a local church VBS this summer! Most are free and usually during June and it gives us parents a few solid hours break. I have noticed that some are going to night schedules to help out working parents, too!

5. Get out and pick some fruit while supporting local farmers! Washington Farms is great for kids and they are super friendly people. Check them out here.

6. Go to your local parks and rec location to picnic, play at the park or feed the ducks! This is a really inexpensive way to spend a good day with your kids and enjoy the summer days. Pack a picnic lunch and get out there!

7. If you can get there, go to a Gwinnett County pool. There are several in the county that have a mini-water park pool for kids with slides and little lazy rivers. Most are open @ noon and go until 5 or 6 depending on the day. There are season passes available.

These are a few thing I found out about and I will definitely be doing these with my 3 girls! Have a great summer!

Banana Boat IP for CVS sale next week

There is a $2 IP here for you to print and use on the sale CVS is having the week of 6/7-6/13. Prices are usually around the $7-$9 range and if you buy 2 products by printing 2 IPs then you will save $4 PLUS get $7 in ECBs for your next trip!

Stockpiling things for your home

I have learned that you need to be patient and put yourself on a budget for each month. If you can use $20 per week or month, then you can do this! REMEMBER, everything is on sale in cycles. As you do this more often, you will see the trends and can plan ahead. I started with my incidentals(bath items, paper goods) or the things that won't go 'bad' for at least a year. If you can get these items for AT LEAST half price then you are off to a great start. It will take some time, but you can reap the rewards of not having a weekly shopping list and stretching your dollar really far! I was recently teased by my brother for looking like a local convience store with what I have. Hey, what can I say! I love a free after coupon item! Who doesn't?!? I am going to do my best to help you with any questions you may have about couponing. I am hoping to get a Yahoo group started soon so we can chat amongst ourselves and tell about deals I may have missed and can post on my blog. Will let you all know when I get the group up and running. Have a great day!

Better Rice Krispies deal @ CVS

They are 3/$5 @ CVS this week and with the $1 peelies I mentioned in Kroger post it makes them .66 each! **Remember to check expiration dates on EVERYTHING you buy because I have seen some things past dates or close to them and this is for any store. I check the dates so I can make sure the items I am stockpiling aren't going to go out of date within a few months.**

Kmart is doing doubles AGAIN!

Kmart is doing doubles coupons again next week,6/7-6/13. Usually it is up to and including $2 that are doubled and only 25 Qs per person per day. In the greater Atlanta area the store that usually participates is in Rome(NW GA), but you can call your local store to see if they are participating. The other way to find out is if you visit their website http://www.kmart.com/ and click on the ad for that week and enter your zip code(or others nearby that have a store) and in the lower right corner is a red box advertising the doubles event and the stipulations for it. HTH!

Loadable Sites for Kroger Cards!

I just found this and I believe it has ADDITIONAL Qs you can put on your Kroger card as well as the Cellfire site and P&Gesaver...Here are all links:

P&Gesaver
Cellfire

You may have to register first time for each site, but it is free and you can print the list of Qs you saved as well. Just remember to have you Kroger card handy when you do because they need to link the two.

Really CHEAP Reynolds Aluminum Foil @ CVS!

There were other off brand paper products from .75 to .90 so check it out! YMMV on which CVS so check the prices at the scanner box located near the front of the stores BEFORE going to the register to save time.

Welcome to a brand new way to save!

Thank you for viewing my blog and I truly hope to 'pay it forward' by helping others learn to save more and get more all at the same time. It was an awakening for me when I began doing seroius coupon clipping and deal hunting because I thought I was doing pretty good saving a few bucks every time I went shopping. Boy was I wrong! I have taken a lot of time to learn how to lower my family budget and get more of what we need for less. The great thing about my blog is that I take the time to do the legwork while you just visit my blog to find the deals you need! How easy is that! Don't forget to check out my ads to the side for other helpful ways to save. I just want to say thanks again and hope you reap the benefits of my hard work to help others save money during these trying times...Michelle
