We have a super busy week coming up, and I don’t know how much time and/or energy I’ll have to make dinner … but fortunately, we have a lot of commitments that require me to skip making dinner, so it should all work out. I also plan on baking some Snickerdoodle Bars, Maple Oatmeal Scones, and Jam Crumb Cake. These are all recipes I can bake up in my toaster oven, although it’s supposed to hit 90 degrees only once this week. Unfortunately, I don’t think I’ll have the time to bake up batch of muffins, cupcakes, or cake balls … so hopefully the weather will stay cool next week too.

In the meantime, here’s what I’m planning on doing for dinners this week:

Monday – Bacon-Wrapped Tofu, Rice, some kind of vegetable

Tuesday – Dinner out

Wednesday – Take out from Zankou Chicken

Thursday – Dinner out

Friday – Cauliflower, Raisins & Anchovies with Pasta

Saturday – Dinner out

Sunday – Dinner out

It’s going to be a busy week!

Staples is offering a 100-count box of Glad Drawstring Trash Bags for just $9.99 right now. Staples Rewards members get free shipping + 5% back, or you can select in-store pickup to avoid shipping charges. That works out to 10 cents per bag, which is a great stock-up price for drawstring bags. The only place where I can get them cheaper on a regular basis is Costco. These types of offers tend to sell out quickly at Staples, so don’t delay if you’re interested.

There are a bunch of new RedPlum coupons this morning, including:

• $0.75/1 Bar-S Beef Franks
• $0.55/1 Land O Frost Bistro Favorites, Premium, DeliShaved, or Canadian Bacon

Daily deal site Zulily has a King of the Grill Collection, which features a lot of items that would be perfect Father’s Day gifts. There are lots of cool grilling accessories I’ve never seen before.

I recommend loading these offers while they’re available, since they can disappear if you haven’t completed at least one of the tasks to get the offer. There will be a B1G1 sale on Hawaiian Tropic next week, so the Ibotta offer will make that deal even better.

SavingStar has been around for a couple of years now, and it keeps getting better. It’s an eCoupon site that lets you save money by attaching digital coupons to your store loyalty card, and the list of participating stores includes CVS, Ralphs/Kroger, Stater Bros., and many more.

SavingStar frequently has high-value offers, like these current ones:

• $5 back when you spend $30 on Charmin and Ivory products and Gillette men’s razors, shave gels, foams and creams, deodorants and body washes
• $5 back when you spend $30 on Bounty, Swiffer and Febreze products
• $5 back when you spend $25 on any Venus and Pantene products and Olay bars, body washes or in-shower body lotion

There are also frequent offers for items that coupons aren’t commonly available for, including 10% back when you buy any Elmer’s foam board and 3% back when you buy Elmer’s glue.

Once you purchase an item that qualifies for an offer loaded to your card, your SavingStar account will automatically be credited and you’ll receive an email when that happens. Some stores issue credits faster than others, and take anywhere from one week to one month (for locals, Ralphs is quite slow). You can cash out your SavingStar account by transferring the funds to Paypal or your bank account, donating to AmericanForests.org, or my favorite, via Amazon gift certificate.

One note about SavingStar and paper coupons: Their FAQ states that “SavingStar eCoupons will work whether or not you combine them with other services’ coupons, but they are not intended to be used this way,” and that “[u]sing coupons from other services in combination with a SavingStar “One or Many” deal is not a problem.”

Right now, SavingStar is hosting a sweepstakes to give away a $200 Sephora gift card. Simply login to the Rafflecopter widget at the bottom of this post to enter and vote for which SavingStar eCoupon is your favorite.
You can receive extra entries for following SavingStar on Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest, and for tweeting about the contest. And be sure to join SavingStar to maximize your shopping savings!
