Hi Christy,

I would love it if you did a post on ideas for teacher thank you gifts.

Thanks for all the helpful info! I am somewhat new and I wanted to know what it means when a store coupon reads not valid with other offers? Does it mean I cannot use a manufacturers coupon in conjunction with the store coupon?

Wondering what Walgreens register rewards are? do you have to sign up for it, or do you just get a discount when you buy certain register reward items?

I would choose the Kindle because my daughter wants one for her birthday!

Scotch magic tape is free at Target but it is a 50 cent money maker when you add the printable scotch tape (from scotch tape website). We cleaned house on these. The scotch tape manufacturers coupon is an “any”, does not beep but they are taking them with the 1/1 target coupon.

Hi Christy,

I loved the candy pencils idea! Thanks for sharing!
I found a couple of deals:
Carnation.com has a coupon for 1.00 off/2 carnation breakfast essentials. I used to love the chocolate one when I was growing up!
Victoria’s Secret has a deal right now, too. Free lotion with any Victoria Secret Temptaion Eau de Parfum.

Thanks for being a shining light in the couponing world!

The newsletter I recieved yesterday said we were getting Albertson’s Twice the Value Coupons this week, but everywhere I went said they did not recieve any Tri-City Heralds on Sunday. I picked up the Seattle Newspaper so I would get the inserts, but did not see any Albertsons Twice the value coupons. Did anyone else find a Sunday edition of the Tri-City Herald?

Invitation to Pampers Kandoo Blogger Database

We noticed recently that your blog has been pushing some great traffic to our website. In doing a quick cross-check with our blogger database, it doesn’t seem that we have you as a current participant. And we’d like to change that around.

If you would like to receive direct information on our deals, promotions and samples, please let me know and we can create a profile for you. Most of our communication is via email. The only exception would be if we have new product to share for review/sampling, etc.

All we will need to opt you in is the following information:

We hope you will join us.

Thanks!

hi, i was just wondering if there is a way to get a catalina coupon that didn’t print out at the register, can I send in my reciept in the mail and get one?

Sara October 12, 2011 at 6:08 pm

Hi Christy,

I have a question and thought you may know the answer. The last two times I printed online Target coupons it only allowed me one coupon, not two. As soon as I printed and went back to the page it said “already Printed”. Have you heard about them changing the policy. I don’t see anything on their website.

Thanks!

Sara

hi christy – i think i read somwhere on your blog that target has a 2 week price guarantee if the price goes on sale (or clearance), right? i just bought some halloween stuff today at 50% off an i’m hoping i can get the 75% or even 90% off when that comes along…. can you confirm that they will do this on a clearance item as well?

My mom wants to get my boys the smart cycle 3d for christmas. Its listed at $59.99 in the Toys R US toy catalog until 11/23. I have printable target coupon for $10 off plus target mobile shows $10 off. If I have my mom sign up for target mobile now and then use both $10 printable and $10 mobile coupons along with a price match from toys r us could she really get this for $39.99? (Regular $79.99)

Nicole November 6, 2011 at 1:50 pm

You can get a great deal at Target on the Star Wars Operation Game….Price match the Toys R Us $10 price, then use your $5 mobile coupon and get it for $5….it’s not as good as the $1 Toy Story game, but $5 is still pretty good for the Star Wars one. And my family loves Star Wars, so that makes it even better!

Nicole November 6, 2011 at 1:53 pm

Actually, it looks like it would work for Star Wars Monopoly as well.

Nicole November 6, 2011 at 1:55 pm

And it looks like there is a coupon for $5 in the Target coupon book that can in today’s paper….I really need to research everything BEFORE I post from now on lol…I even looked in the book before I went in to see if there were any coupons and totally missed it!

Linda Meyers November 25, 2011 at 9:20 am

I just got my first Cricut machine & wanted to know what cartridges are used the most so that I can pick some up while they’re still $26.99
Thanks!

shauna December 9, 2011 at 5:15 pm

found a great buy on Pillsbury cookie dough. 2 for $5 and these are the value size, which are huge. Use the printable $1 off any one that was available recently and you pay just $1.50 at Smith’s (which is a Kroger family store)

Tara December 28, 2011 at 2:04 pm

I love your site and I love that you love Disney! We have been to DisneyLand a few times and now would love to take a family trip to DisneyWorld. The problem is my husband and I are both educators so we are limited to taking vacations during peak seasons (Spring Break, summer, and Christmas). Do you have any good tips for going to DisneyWorld when it is the most expensive time to go? Thank you!

Jeanette January 18, 2012 at 5:40 am

Hi! Just wanted to say what a wonderful job you are doing! This must be so much work and time but thank you so much for sharing! :)

Gretchan January 20, 2012 at 8:14 am

I noticed you haven’t posted since the 18th and was just checking to see if you and your family were ok. With all the snow and flooding going on, I didn’t know if you lived in an affected area. I hope all is well with you and yours.

merritt February 8, 2012 at 12:42 pm

Hi there,
I just wanted to give other Thirfty readers a heads up. I used the previous vitacost $10 for new customers coupon that was posted. I ordered a Baby Bee begining bath kit for a baby shower bow topper.(toungetwister) Although I got it a great price the condition it arrived in was horrible. It was sent to me in a plastic evelope and was tattered and smashed beyond acceptable giving qualtiy.The product had actually come completely out of the box.
They have since sent me a replacement, this time wrapped in one thin sheet of bubble wrap that didn’t even cover the entire package. It arrived in a little better shape this time, but I will have to make the bow extra fluffy to hide the dented corners and such. Just wanted to let you know that if you are going to buy something as a gift from Vitacost beware. Thanks Merritt

cheryl shamus March 20, 2012 at 8:05 am

i received a gift voucher from a friend as a gift. I am trying to redeem the voucher but the website says it no longer processes requests and to return to the original website for redemption.
http:www.digitaldoorstep.com/plumdistrict is the website to redeem it at and it no longer processes them. Can you help me?

Paula August 17, 2012 at 5:45 pm

Just a quick heads up. I live in the eastern part of North Carolina and the area drug store chain “Kerr Drugs” has marked down all their summer items 50% off. This includes, Fans, Potting Soil, Round Up, Coolers, Hummingbird Feeders and assorted Bird Feeders and many more items.

Lauren w August 29, 2012 at 3:41 pm

Can you please add cvs to your store deals.

Christy August 29, 2012 at 3:43 pm

Hi Lauren, Unfortunately I don’t have a CVS in my area, which makes it hard for me to report the deals if I don’t shop there and I don’t receive the ads. :)

I stopped by my Target at noon today and they were marking down all their Pillsbury Ready-to-Bake Halloween cookies 50% off to $1.25/each. They had the Mickey Mouse pumpkin face ones and the regular pumpkin face ones at my Salem Target. They were also marking down the ones that are screen-printed with halloween scenes.

Elizabeth Mendoza November 23, 2012 at 9:02 pm

Just got Dance Central 3 for XBox for $15. AMAZING deal on AMazon!

Janelle December 30, 2012 at 9:01 am

Hey Christie,

I love your site and check it daily. I am getting anxious for all of the after christmas sales but I will not buy until they are 90% off. I have found this of course at target, but also at CVS, JoAnn and Big Lots in the past. I was wondering if you have any info on any 90% off sales other than target or trends for other stores. Thanks;)

Laura February 1, 2013 at 6:15 am

Because you are always giving me great ideas and finds. I wanted to pass this along to you and all your friends. Lego,com has the Minecraft Lego set available on their site for 34.99 in stock. These will go fast. Amazon lists at 54.99 and ebay is crazy stupid with their prices because people can’t find them. I having been checking daily for over a month and found them last night.

I was wondering if you knew of any couponing clubs in the Fort Lewis area of Washington State. I would like to trade coupons with others in my area and meet other couponers.

I also would like to thank you for your website, I have found great money saving ways that my family loves! Thank you!
