It's summer (it has been for a month in Florida!) which, hopefully, means you and your kiddos will be swimming more often.

Thanks to Fiddledeedee Mom's research, you can save $3 when you buy Huggies Little Swimmers at Target!

Use this $1.50/1 manufacturer coupon with this $1.50/1 Target coupon!

Free Twilight Novella


Here's one for all you Twihards! You can read Stephenie Meyer's newest edition to the Twlight Saga, The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner, for free here. It's not a download so it won't help to have a reader but it will save you $8 to read it online. 

Thanks, Deal Seeking Mom!

Cheap Summer Activities - Central Florida

  •  Joann's Fabric - Kid's Camp, most of the projects are for kids 8 and older but some are for 5 and up. Check the schedule in the store before you get your kids excited.
 
  • Bass Pro Shops - Family Summer Camp, they will have weekly activities from June 5-July 11. The free activities, crafts, and snacks are every Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday from noon-6pm. One of my readers went this past weekend and said there was so many things going on and they loved it! 

  • AMC Theaters - Every Tuesday through the summer (June 15-August 10), they are showing a kids movie for $1/person! They also have KidsPack concession combos for $4. All movie and concession proceeds go to charity. We did this last summer and it was great! I even took The Little One who was only 7 months old. He did great so if you are scared to take your kids to the movies, this is the time!
 
  • Garden Theater - They will have $1 movies, too. They are also every Tuesday at 10 am (June 15-August 3). I plan on going to all the movies we don't own so I'm glad two theaters are doing this!

What else is going on in Central Florida that we need to know about? Let's keep these kids busy!

Thanks, HM, KG, and Our Family Ramblings!

ANOTHER $10 free health items!!

Medco Health Store has put out another $10 off code and shipping is still just $0.99! Use code DR10 at checkout for an instant $10 off your order. I ordered California Baby Diaper Area Wash since we are now only using cloth diapers and wipes. I paid $1.98!

If you missed the last code, it's still good! Make sure you get your free $20 worth of bath, body, baby, or health items. You'll only have to pay less than $2 in shipping!! (You do have to use the codes separately so it'll be two $10 orders.)

Thanks, Coupon Pro!

BOGO Nabisco Cookies

Facebook is becoming a great resource for coupons! Thanks to my readers who also always on the lookout for great deals so we can all save.

If you "like" Nabisco 100 Calorie Packs on Facebook, you can print a BOGO coupon. Remember to use your back button and you can print it twice! It expires 30 days from when you print it but that could turn into four free boxes because they are BOGO at Publix regularly. When you use a buy one, get one coupon on something that is already buy one, get one, you get them both free!

Thanks, SS!

Ask Before you Shop

I know I sound like a broken record, but it really is vital to your couponing success to know the coupon policy of the store that you shop. All it takes is one phone call before you start planning your grocery visit. I shop at Publix for most of my grocery needs and I know that if I go to the Publix 5 miles down the road, their coupon policy will be different. A friend just called me and said she was told that Publix no longer accepts competitor coupons and that Publix "isn't really supposed to take them at all." Since she went to the location 5 miles down the road, I wasn't able to say anything definitive about their policy. She was fine with it and they accepted her coupons "this time" but she knows now not to waste her time on competitor coupons if she is going to that store.

Just call and ask for the manager before you shop, especially if you are shopping somewhere different. Ask them if they accept competitor coupons, ask them who they consider a competitor, ask them if they have a limit on how many coupons you can use in one transaction, and get the manager's name. This will make your experience much happier and help you save the most money per hour you spend planning. Also, if you get a below OR above average cashier, manager, or bag boy, send an email to corporate. Let them know. Every time I have used that form, I have gotten an email back from corporate AND a call from the store manager. They really do read every email!!

Happy shopping!

Publix - Buy Theirs, Get Ours

I hadn't had a chance to look at this week's ad until right now and saw another great Buy Theirs, Get Ours Free deal this week. They seem to making this a weekly sale, so make sure you check the website or signage in store so you don't miss out on any great deals! It's good through Wednesday June 9th.

Southern Savers already found all the coupons you will need to make this even sweeter! Thank you!!

I am going to buy all the Johnson's stuff and use the $3/3 Johnson's products coupon. I also have a bunch of Huggies coupons so I will finally be able to use those on this great sale! These are great for baby shower gifts, too.

Gatorade at Publix

I got a tip from a reader who was told that 64 oz. Gatorade is always on sale at Publix. The manager told her that it rotates every week from being 2/$5 to BOGO. So, she knows that every week, she will never pay more than $2.50 for a bottle of Gatorade without coupons. That is good to know!

I am assuming this is true of all Publix locations. I will check my store when I go shopping this week. Have anyone seen anything different?

DIY Dishware

Found in the "Ali" is one of my favorite blogs because she is just so darn creative. I have said before that I am not that creative on my own but I am great at following directions.

She recently made a set of painted dishware that I am going to be trying for myself. I even already have clear plates. I had an "ah-ha" moment reading the tutorial because she didn't paint on the part where your food would go. She painted everything on the back of the plate! It seems so simple but I never would have thought of that.

Anyway, take a trip over to her blog and have a few "ah-ha" moments of your own!
