Shutterfly has graciously offered bloggers 50 free cards again. Very exciting!!<br /><br />I like that on their website I can narrow things down with my options. I prefer cardstock over photo paper, flat cards over folded, etc. Makes it so easy to go from thousands of options to a few quite quickly.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.shutterfly.com/cards-stationery/christmas-cards?filterOptions=atcard_format_1%7Catcard_size_1%7Catcard_size_4%7Catpaper_type_1%7Cattheme_1&selectFilterOption=attheme_1&clearFilterOption=">Here</a> is what I have narrowed it down to!<br /><br />I can't share exactly my favorite since family reads this blog - so I can't even share the photo I am using, either!<br /><br />I like ones that use lots of photos, like <a href="http://www.shutterfly.com/cards-stationery/christmas-cards/joy-to-world-religious-christmas-card-5x7-flat?productCode=883639&categoryCode=93476&skuCode=883640">this</a> one, but I feel I never have enough good ones to use!<br /><br />I hope you enjoyed this and you use Shutterfly for your next greeting card needs!<br /><br />Are you a blogger? Want a chance at 25 free cards this holiday season?

They also feature sustainably forested paper for this design! It would be fun to write out a list of everything we are happy about for 2010 - there's a lot!<br /><br />Another fun design is "<a href="http://www.shutterfly.com/cards-stationery/cards-stationery/bright-red-filmstrip-christmas-5x7-photo-card-5x7-photo?sortType=1&fa=12&storeNode=93480&fe=1">Bright Red Filmstrip</a>." This card allows up to four photos - perfect with a new baby in the house...showcase a large photo of the baby, and some select shots of us as a family.<br /><br />Send out early Seasons Greetings with their <a href="http://www.shutterfly.com/cards-stationery/thanksgiving-cards">Thanksgiving cards</a>. A great gift idea for far away family members are the <a href="http://www.shutterfly.com/calendars/wall-calendars">wall calendars</a> – a whole year of memories to share!<br />I’m looking forward to creating my first ever photo Christmas cards!Helenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01142389198186796200noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8584421.post-38240449387589729782010-04-22T16:18:00.003-05:002010-04-22T16:23:16.758-05:00Dominick's Today<center><br /><a href="http://s3.photobucket.com/albums/y96/poetangel922/Blog%2010/?action=view¤t=IMG_0998.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y96/poetangel922/Blog%2010/th_IMG_0998.jpg" border="0" alt="Dominick's 4/22" ></a><br /></center><br /><br />Kraft 100-calorie cheese: $1.49 after instant discount, $1 man q x5, $1 store q x1 = 5/$1.45<br />Hamburger Helper: $.99 each, $.75/3 e-coupon x3 = 3/$.72<br />BC Potatoes: $.99, $.40 e-coupon x4 = -$.61<br />English Muffins: $1.49, $1 manq = $.49<br />Lara Bars: $1.25 each, $1/2 e-coupon x2 = 2/$.50<br />Total: $2.80 on GC. yum!!<br /><br />Stopped at Jewel for Ronzoni, $1.29 x8, $1 man q x2, $.75 IP x 6 = $3.82, or $.47 eachHelenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01142389198186796200noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8584421.post-44334691924394259762010-03-30T20:05:00.003-05:002010-03-30T20:08:25.025-05:00Red Letter Mail Day<center><br /><a href="http://s3.photobucket.com/albums/y96/poetangel922/Blog%2010/?action=view¤t=IMG_0975.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y96/poetangel922/Blog%2010/th_IMG_0975.jpg" border="0" alt="Jewel and Freebies 3/30" ></a><br /></center><br /><br />Yesterday my FREE coupons arrived.

"Beef Round Top Round Roast" or whatever it says. I picked up the SAME size I bought yesterday, and it didn't work. No discount, so I left it at self-check. Then went back for the rest of my goodies!<br /><br /><center><br /><a href="http://s3.photobucket.com/albums/y96/poetangel922/Blog09/?action=view¤t=IMG_0961.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y96/poetangel922/Blog09/th_IMG_0961.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" ></a><br /></center><br /><br />Some months ago my mom gave me a coupon for 4 free BeechNut Stage 2 jars. I had noticed it was on Upromise for $1 back WYB 8. Not a necessary item for me, so I waited. Then I got the same coupon in the mail, but Upromise had for Stage 1 food. Well, this month the buy 8 Stage 2 and earn $1 is back (if I remember correctly - their site hasn't been working for me). They are on sale For $.39 right now, so I wrote $1.56 on the q, but the teenager had to do the math the loooong addition way before she believed that *eye roll*<br /><br />I found the Wheatables everyone is talking about in blog land - not on a shipper, but on an end and they had taped a q to each one :) $1.88, minus $1.50 q, x2!<br /><br />Another FREE Slim Fast candy bar<br />TOTAL: $.91 for all that :)Helenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01142389198186796200noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8584421.post-89761870879173659162010-01-25T20:28:00.003-06:002010-01-25T20:34:23.461-06:00Mmmm, Beef.

REALLY hard to find ones that weren't crumbled all to bits! No Catalinas printed though. These are delicious, even though they are pure sugar!<br /><br />Also picked up a holiday ID Creamer. It said $.99, but scanned at $1.99 after card savings, so the service desk manager actually gave it to me free for ringing up incorrectly!<br /><br />Then I tried a roast for $10.17, and it took off the $5.48 savings for the veggies :) When we went back, I actually found another for the exact same price! It's crock pot weather here, so will definitely be making one this week, and froze one for later.<br /><br />Used a $2.50 cat I found left at a self-check last week!<br /><br />Total for 6.8 pounds of beef, 3 slim fast and one ID: $7.10 <b>($1.04 per pound!!!)</b><br /><br />YUM.

But I did do a bit over the last week! <br /><br />Some goodies at Meijer with their "buy 10 get the 11th free" except I wish they weren't out of pasta. We have almost used it all from the last Jewel deal. But I also bought Breakstone cottage cheese there and took my $5 cat to Dom's where I paid $.69 for this:<br /><center><br /><a href="http://s3.photobucket.com/albums/y96/poetangel922/Blog09/?action=view¤t=IMG_0952.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y96/poetangel922/Blog09/th_IMG_0952.jpg" border="0" alt="Dominick's Run" ></a><br /></center><br />8 - $.50 e-coupons came off for soup/broth, plus a $1.10/3 IP (soup was $1.11 and broth $3.29). Eggs were $.99 with store q, Quaker $.99 w/store q, then $1/2 manq. Bought Clif bars as fillers to use my $5 cat! <br /><br /><a href="http://s3.photobucket.com/albums/y96/poetangel922/Blog09/?action=view¤t=IMG_0957.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y96/poetangel922/Blog09/th_IMG_0957.jpg" border="0" alt="Dominick's Paid Me!" ></a><br />I hit up Dom's for the crazy Aveeno/C&C deal.<br />Aveeno: $2.92<br />-$2 e-coupon<br />-$2 IP<br />C&C: $6.99<br />-$2 e-coupon<br />-$6.99 e-coupon<br />-$2 IP<br />for some overage!

These Southwestern ones are delish!). Also did the Home for the Holidays spend $25 get $5 at Dominick's. Of course it's never as good as Jewel, but you get all those crazy e-coupons. The highlight was the Toll House RTB Cookie Dough. $3.69, had a $2 store q, $1 manq, and THREE $.55 e-coupons came off. Plus it counted towards the deal. Also got a free OJ for buying 4 Pillsbury items. Overall it was okay. and I'm going back tonight with my $5 cat for some oatmeal that's $1.50.<br /><br />I also scored at Jewel because they had the expired tag up for the Over the Moon milk - got one for free, one for $2 and used $1 coupon = $1/1gal!<br /><br /><center><br /><a href="http://s3.photobucket.com/albums/y96/poetangel922/Blog09/?action=view¤t=IMG_0924.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y96/poetangel922/Blog09/th_IMG_0924.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" ></a><br /></center><br /><br />Today I stopped at Target<br />Flatbread: reg. $3.99, $1.99 sale, $1 store q = $.99<br />Up & Up Baby Wipes: $1.97, used $1 q (thought the shelf said they were less. Oh well!)<br />Degree Fine Fragrance: $3.29 each, $3/2 store q, $1.50 IP x2<br />Printed a store q for $1.50/1 from cat machine, and I still have an IP that expires Sunday, so will go back!<br />CD for Matt<br /><br />Jewel has Ragu for $.88, and I bought it and <i>then</i> <a href="http://www.mashupmom.com">Rachel</a> points out there is a printable. Hopefully when I pick up the paper Saturday there is also a Ragu q and I will run out for some more. This is one thing where we are brand specific (picky!) so will stock up. On average with the ones I didn't have coupons for we will still be good. ALSO even though it is "limit 2" it is the usual Jewel way - 2 per FLAVOR!<br />Cheese is $1.28/8 oz, bought 4, used $1.50/2lb printable = $1.81/lb!Helenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01142389198186796200noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8584421.post-82666093233234803942009-10-16T17:24:00.005-05:002009-10-16T17:36:46.158-05:00A Good Day OverallPhew. <a href="http://www.mashupmom.com/?p=11429">Rachel</a> convinced me that buying band aids was a snap, so off I went!<br /><center><br /><a href="http://s3.photobucket.com/albums/y96/poetangel922/Blog09/?action=view¤t=IMG_0921.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y96/poetangel922/Blog09/th_IMG_0921.jpg" border="0" alt="Yay!" ></a><br /></center><br />The first Wag's denied me, so I left everything there and went to one two blocks away ;)<br />Band-aids: $1.99 with in-ad q, then $2 off each from Activity Book = earn $.03<br />Trident Layers: 2/$2, earn $1 RR, <i>$.75/1 IP x2</i> = $.50 cash, earn $1 RR<br />Total: $.63 cash, left with $1 RR<br />(gotta love wags.

They send amazing coupons quite frequently, and you don't even have to do anything in response! I also love their packaging and think their marketing team does a great job.<br /><br /><center><br /><a href="http://s3.photobucket.com/albums/y96/poetangel922/Blog09/?action=view¤t=IMG_0913.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y96/poetangel922/Blog09/th_IMG_0913.jpg" border="0" alt="Vocalpoint Goodies" ></a><br /></center><br /><br />Sample of Secret Clinical Deodorant with 5-$2 coupons, and a Kashi packet with 2-$3/1 and 3-$1.50/1 coupons for Go LEAN Crunch!

Paid $19.32 cash for the needed Zyrtec, and hubby got the candy he wanted :)<br /><br />The ad is slightly confusing, as you get $5 ECB WYB $20 of Halloween candy, and there is a page of candy sales. However, it seems that ALL candy is a part of this week's deal because the Snickers and candy corn both counted on my receipt. Now debating if I want to go back for M&Ms or other things. Not sure. Can get them cheaper at Target this week. Anyway, I think it is ALL candy because last week's ad said "Selected Halloween Candy" and this week's ad dropped the "selective." Now maybe we can find some deals....<br /><br />We also made a quick stop at Petsmart to cash in on 6 of those FREE treat coupons from a couple weeks back, and a toy with a $3 survey coupon. And Trader Joe's for $23 worth of groceries. heh.

I hit up two stores on my lunch break, and they didn't have any. One store on the way home had 1+lb packs, so I didn't get them. But my closest store had a good amount to choose from! I also got a 3-pack of Glade refills on clearance for $.50 and a can of beans. All that for $4.52 total :)<br /><br />[My two days averaged out is 4.58 pounds of chicken and 1 pound of beef for $7.03 total, or $1.26 per pound!]<br /><br />I also saw the Fruit 2o 20 oz bottles were $.89, so try and use those $1 coupons if you have any left!Helenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01142389198186796200noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8584421.post-73100569087112167582009-10-12T16:40:00.003-05:002009-10-12T16:49:30.161-05:00MMM, Chicken and Pasta!Yes, I went to Jewel <i>again.</i> I haven't felt this way about Jewel in a while!<br /><br /><center><br /><a href="http://s3.photobucket.com/albums/y96/poetangel922/Blog09/?action=view¤t=IMG_0916.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y96/poetangel922/Blog09/th_IMG_0916.jpg" border="0" alt="Proof!" ></a><br /></center><br /><br />See? $3 instant savings <i>and</i> Fav 4 Meat savings ;)<br /><br /><center><br /><a href="http://s3.photobucket.com/albums/y96/poetangel922/Blog09/?action=view¤t=IMG_0918.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y96/poetangel922/Blog09/th_IMG_0918.jpg" border="0" alt="Fav 4 Meat" ></a><br /></center><br /><br />I totally lucked out at the Westmont store.

I set foot in Meijer and had a GOOD experience. That is so outside of ordinary! I had a self-check lady who said yeah, the coupons had been giving her trouble today, and she feels bad for us customers who have to have patience while she keys them all in. So of course I jump in with the "and the ones that yell at you when it isn't your fault." Her response? "I'm not inside the computer!" haha<br /><br />Canned Veggies: $.99 each, <i>$1/3 Meijer Meal Box (MBQ) x2, $1/5 IP</i> = $.49 each<br />Starkist Tuna: $1.29 each, <i>$.50/1 MBQ x2, $1/2 IP</i> = $.29 each<br />Healthy Choice: $2.50 each, <i>$2 IP x2</i> = $.50 each<br />OM Deli Creations: $2 each, <i>$1/1 MBQ x2, $1/2 manq</i> = $.50 each<br />Over all, a GREAT trip, and makes me more apt to try Meijer in the future.<br /><br />Today I received my $4/1 Star product coupons (5 total, yay!), a $25 GC for Ace from my Discover Rewards. Coincidentally, I also got a $10/$30 Ace coupon from VISA, meaning if I spent just a bit over $35 I can combine the two (must use VISA card to use coupon).<br /><br />Wal-Mart has my Over-the-Moon milk on price rollback for $2, thanks to the blogs I read since the shelf wasn't marked. Used the $1 PDF coupon to get 2/$2. This is the best chocolate milk and the 1% milk tastes great as well. Easy to stock up on because they are dated 10/31. I need to make room in the fridge to buy a few more before the price goes back up. Also bought the Sara Lee Lunchmeat and the YoBaby 3-in-one meal.

I hit up Jewel like the old days, rolling some cats and earning some rebates...<br /><br />Transaction #1<br />10 Progresso Light Soup: $16.67 sale price. <i>Used 5 $1/2 store coupons from PC book, 3 $1.10/3 IP</i> = paid $8.63 cash, and earned $5 GM Cat<br /><br /><center><br /><a href="http://s3.photobucket.com/albums/y96/poetangel922/Blog09/?action=view¤t=IMG_0894.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y96/poetangel922/Blog09/th_IMG_0894.jpg" border="0" alt="Catalina AND 2 rebates!" ></a><br /></center><br /><br />I then decided I would finally take part in the Kellogg's Fuel for School rebate, which overlapped with the Cat.<br /><br />Transaction #2<br />Morningstar Burgers: $4.07 pre-card, $3.67 sale, <i>$1 IP x2</i><br />Special K Crackers: $4.25 pre-card, $3 sale, <i>$1 IP x2</i><br />Speical K Bars: $5.89 pre-card, $4.50 sale, <i>$1/2 IP</i><br />Whole-Grain Cheez Its: $1.77 sale, <i>$.75 IP x4</i><br />Pre-card total for cat: $28.42 What helped keep this close to $25 was that the Cheez Its are NOT part of the catalina, but they ARE part of the rebate =)<br />Used $5 GM Cat to help pay. Still paid $17.08 cash, BUT I should be able to submit the Fuel for School $10 rebate, AND I got more Special K tokens so I can send for the $10 Jean Voucher, which makes this stuff FREE, PLUS I earned $10 in Cat! <br /><br /><center><br /><a href="http://s3.photobucket.com/albums/y96/poetangel922/Blog09/?action=view¤t=IMG_0895.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y96/poetangel922/Blog09/th_IMG_0895.jpg" border="0" alt="FREE yogurt" ></a><br /></center><br /><br />Transaction #3<br />I oringally only wanted yogurt, but ended up doing the Kellogg's deal in between LOL<br />On sale for $2, had $1 manq. Bought 4, plus one fruitcup so I could spend my $5 cat. whew. $.20 cash<br /><br />Altogether:<br />Spent $25.91 cash (ouch!)<br />Earned:<br />$10 Kellogg's rebate(which includes $70 Dell coupon as well...won't use it though)<br />$10 Special K Jeans Voucher<br />$5 Cat still in hand<br /><br />Not too shabby. Although the Special K crackers aren't listed on the rebate...so I'm a bit worried, but oh well. I'm not returning the stuff. Still good deals!!Helenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01142389198186796200noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8584421.post-31042324547328302752009-09-03T22:36:00.004-05:002009-09-03T23:02:13.252-05:00Sometimes, I even amaze myself!I vaguely member sending away for some free formula sample a while back...well, Matt got the mail while I was out today, and I had three samples!

But then it's actual cash. hmmmm)<br /><br />Target rocked, again. Cashier was a bit put off, but so what?<br /><center><br /><a href="http://s3.photobucket.com/albums/y96/poetangel922/Blog09/?action=view¤t=IMG_0892.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y96/poetangel922/Blog09/th_IMG_0892.jpg" border="0" alt="Target Knockout!" ></a><br /></center><br />9 small bags of Chef Michaels $.50 ea, <b>9 FREE coupons</b><br />8 cans of Chef Michaels $.84 ea, <i>4 Target BOGO and 4 man BOGO</i> = <b>8 FREE</b><br />Bounce Dryer Bar: $3.74, <i>$2.50 manq, $1.50 Target q</i> = <b>-$.26</b><br />Kraft Miracle Whip (we were out): $2.54<br />Archer Farms Green Beans (also out): $.72 each<br />Shick Intuition Gift Packs: $8.48, <i>$4 manq, $4 Target q</i> = <b>$1.44 for 3!</b><br />Special K: $2.39 each, <i>$1 manq on each, earn $5 GC!!</i><br /><b>Paid $11.86 cash, plus have a $5 GC in hand!</b><br /><br />LOVE TARGET!<br /><br />We'll see if I get to Jewel tomorrow...hmmm.Helenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01142389198186796200noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8584421.post-42292345124384081362009-08-30T23:20:00.004-05:002009-08-30T23:36:11.619-05:00And now, for something completely different<center><br /><a href="http://s3.photobucket.com/albums/y96/poetangel922/Blog09/?action=view¤t=IMG_0886.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y96/poetangel922/Blog09/th_IMG_0886.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" ></a><br /></center><br />Friday I hit up Target for the same things I've been buying all week - had the same cashier as I did Monday, and she said she'd "see me again next Monday!" LOVE her!! Too bad they don't have the Chef Michael's dog food....doubt I'll be going there this week.<br /><br />However, did hit it up today with mom and bro:<br /><center><br /><a href="http://s3.photobucket.com/albums/y96/poetangel922/Blog09/?action=view¤t=IMG_0887.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y96/poetangel922/Blog09/th_IMG_0887.jpg" border="0" alt="NEW Target" ></a><br /></center><br />First up, Super Wal-Mart.<br />Marie Callendar's: $2.50, used $1.50 IP.<br />FREE after coupon Chicken Teryaki thingies.<br />Applesauce, makeup brushes and a cute ceramic pumpkin for $5.<br />Altogether $14!<br /><br />Super Target was GREAT to me today. Not only did we have an amazingly friendly cashier at Wal-Mart, the one at Target was SO impressed with our (all three of us had a transaction) purchases!<br /><br />Chef Michael's Dry dog food: sale for $4.26, <i>$3 manq, $1.50 Target q</i> = -$.24<br />Chef Michael's wet food: sale for $.84. <i>BOGO manq and BOGO Target q</i> = 2 FREE<br />Cesar wet food: $>99, <i> BOGO manq and BOGO Target q</i> = 8 FREE<br />Buddies bar: $.97, <i>FREE after Target q</i><br />Tide Stain Release: $3.79, <i>$1.50 manq $1.50 Target q</i> = $.79<br />I totally WON with the Schick razor!! They are on sale for $6.99, plus there was a $4 manq expiring today, AND a $4 Target q in today's paper! But this means they either wouldn't accept the coupon, or they won't know how to adjust it down. I was going to get the razor, but then on a clearance end cap, we spotted a GIFT PACK!! It was marked $8.48 and it includes the razor, refills, stainless steel water bottle, and a Target bag that folds up into a pouch like thing and velcroes shut! So I got it for $.48!!!<br /><br /><b>I paid $.25 for all that stuff at Target!!!</b> The animal shelter will be so happy! Hopefully I can get a bit more this week.<br /><br />My free Schwan's delivery is supposed to arrive tomorrow. Time will tell!!<br /><br />Walked to my Dominick's when I got home, they don't have the Kashi Honey Sunshine cereal, bummer. Will go tomorrow to another location. Also, Wal-Mart had great fitting jeans for $18, just not in the length I wanted, so I shall go back.Helenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01142389198186796200noreply@blogger.com1
