2011-06-20T17:22:00.000-04:00

Head over to Target & request your free sample.
Note: They ask 1001 questions before you "qualify" for this sample. I don't know what they are looking for but I got one.

Target--> Updated Coupon Policy

2011-06-14T16:11:00.000-04:00

Target has updated their coupon policy online. It looks like the changes were to the B1G1 policy.
Nothing big in my opinion since using 2 B1G1 coupons to make 2 items 100% free never was right anyway.
I would suggest printing out a new copy & keeping it with your coupons- just in case.

Parents Magazine--> 7 FREE Issues

2011-06-13T10:21:00.000-04:00

Right now you can get 7 FREE issues of Parents magazine from Huggies here.
This magazine frequently has coupons inside- an added bonus!

Free sample--> Tub O'Towels

2011-06-12T22:10:00.001-04:00

Here's a freebie anyone can use! :-) Request yours here.

I also got a letter from North Carolina telling me I don't have insurance anymore so my tags are revoked. Duh! They know I don't have insurance anymore but they don't know I no longer have a NC license, registration, title, address, tag??? :-/

Fed Ex also visited me today.

Little presents in tissue paper!

They brought me a nice little freebie from Secret. I left a comment on their facebook page & they asked for my shipping info. They were picking comments at random to win a prize. I like that idea... perhaps we'll try that on the Momma Thrift facebook page! :)

Did you get anything good in the mail today?

H.E.Buddy Kids Summer Reading Club= Get A Free T-Shirt

2011-05-29T14:39:00.000-04:00

If your child reads 10 books this summer (or you read to your little one) you can fill out this form for a FREE H.E.Buddy T-shirt & other prizes.

I did this with my children last summer. Even though this is from a grocery store in TX, they still sent me a prize pack in NC. If I remember correctly, it did take a few weeks to get the prize pack which included a shirt, coloring book, pencil, bookmark & sticker for each of my kids.
I'm finding I can never have enough play shirts with my 2 boys & the ones from last year are ~~stained~~ worn, but holding up well! :)

Kids Bowl FREE this Summer!

2011-05-28T21:12:00.000-04:00

I know I already told you about the AMF Kids Bowl Free deal but in case you don't have a participating AMF near you (we don't) or you just really like to watch your little ones bowl, you can check out this similar Kids Bowl Free program. They have many different locations participating so chances are you'll find one near you.

Don't forget to put momma_thrift@yahoo.com in where it asks for the referral email. You know I share prizes with my readers! :)

NO Coupon Inserts this Sunday!

2011-05-28T09:26:00.000-04:00

Another holiday, another couponless Sunday paper. :(

Enjoy your weekend!

My Shopping Trip to Ace & Victoria's Secret

2011-05-27T22:03:00.002-04:00

Ace Hardware & Victoria's Secret - what a combo right?!? :)

I hit Ace because they have some great MIR's going on right now that make a lot of things free or really cheap and we got a $10 off coupon in our moving address confirmation that expires this weekend.

I got 3 reflective #'s for the mailbox & a hose (forgot to take a pic before I opened it) because we needed those items. I got 2 Cutter bug sprays, Scotts veggie fertilizer, some eco friendly car wash, Ortho bug stuff and a 3pk microfiber cloth all with rebates.

I used 2 $1.50 coupons from the 5/22 paper for the Cutter bug spray
1 $10 off Ace coupon
I paid $39.83 OOP with tax
I have $32.48 worth of rebates to submit
= $7.35 my total cost for everything pictured after rebates & coupons.

Then I hit the mall since I was already on that side of town to use the VS coupon my aunt had given me at lunch today. It expired on the 30th so I wanted to get my free VS pantie. (Ladies, we all know even if it's a style we normally don't wear, we do NOT turn down a free $12.50 pair of Victoria's Secret underwear!!!) :)

I couldn't find the style the coupon was good for so I asked for help. The associate questioned the style I was looking for so I showed her the coupon. I said I'm trying to use it before it expires tomorrow & she said, no it expired 2 months ago.

Did you even notice the date? I sure didn't!!!

I was in shock! Neither my aunt or I had caught where it said MARCH, not May. I apologized for my stupid mistake & she said no problem, she'll take it and the $10 off any bra coupon I had. (Thanks but I'm not paying $30-$40 for a bra even if I DO have a coupon!) I picked out my free pair of panties and went to check out, I was expecting to have to call over the associate who helped me before. Nope, not a problem at all.
On my way out the door, I looked into my bag & spotted the coupon for $10 off a mist perfume & a perfume sample. :) Double free score!

Total OOP= $0

My point on including this is to ASK if they will take an expired coupon if you happen to have one. My store didn't seem to care. My other point is even experienced couponers totally loose their brain every once in a while! Don't worry if you forget to use a coupon when checking out, forget a deal, or act totally blond like me & try to use a coupon that expired 2 months ago! It's OK & it does get easier but sometimes you just have a bad day. And I didn't even have my kids with me to ~~blame~~ distract me!
