Want Not Waste Not

Do you throw out your morning coffee?  Does it sit there on the counter all morning only to be put down the sink?  I have a tip for you!  Don't waste that unused coffee!  Throw it in the blender instead of the trash.

Pour in blender while adding 8-10 ice cubes.  Blend til smooth.  Then add a few drops of chocolate stevia and even some vanilla-creme stevia for a yummy coffee drink that doesn't cost $4 a cup!  Blend to taste, grab a straw and enjoy!

If you aren't looking for calorie free, add some sugar or chocolate syrup if you want to get a little crazy!

Making New Habits: Buy Clearance!

It can be a full time job to save my family our hard earned money. But like anything new, after a little "practice" it becomes second nature. One habit I have learned is to never leave a store without looking at clearance items (or as Kroger calls them "Managers Specials"). I buy everything from meat to school supplies to gifts out of the clearance bins. We are red meat lovers! We can satisfy our summer steak on the grill hunger by getting the manager's special meat. Cook it up that day or freeze it and the 30% discounted steak tastes just as flavorful (if not more!). Clearance items also can add more bang to your coupon buck. Recently I found Listerine Whitening on clearance for $2.89 at Target. Pair it with the $2.00 off coupon and I spent 89 cents on a $4.50 item.  At the end of last school year, I found Elmer's glue, post-it notes and highlighters in a manager's special bin at Kroger. These were more than 50% off and with a little forethought; I was able to check a few items off the school list early.  Of course I always shop the seasonal clearance isle. Many an Easter basket and/or stocking have been filled with (non-edible) goodies from last season. This is a great way to stock up on small items to fill Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes too. Last but not least, clothing clearance.  I am a proponent of consignment shopping however, you can often buy new clothes at the end of the season for less than you would at a resale shop or even garage sale.  We have mentioned that The Children's Place is one of our faves.  Right now they have many items on clearance and don't forget to use a 15% off coupon for even more savings! So keep your eyes open for clearance tags, they're not just for clothing anymore!

What great deals have you found in the clearance isles?

Mimi's Cafe

I know we've mentioned Mimi's Cafe before. I LOVE to promote good companies (and that's why I post about Chick fila as often as I can!!) Mimi's Cafe is another one of those companies. I wrote about how I had to take my 15 month old out to lunch with several adults who were also moms but getting a break from their little ones that morning. I felt guilty that I had to bring one of mine along. Thanks to Mimi's Cafe no one even noticed by baby because he was perfectly happy the entire time with the FREE baby plate that Mimi's provided. What a great restaurant!

If you are not a member of the eClub now is the time to join! They are sending out $5/$15 coupons which is a great deal on wonderful food. Often they have nice patios attached so eating outside is a huge perk to Midwest living. Texas friends...you might need to enjoy your coupon inside. =)

Join Mimi's Cafe eClub today and start enjoying the perks.

KMART Doubles Coupons This Week!

If you can handle dealing with KMART, it could be worth your money to make a stop for double coupons up to $2. That's quite the deal but make sure you allow A LOT of time for shopping and checking out. Our local KMART is notorious for not having sale products, marking them incorrectly and NOT training their cashiers. I'm not sure if doubling $2 coupons can get me into KMART but I could be influenced if I find the right sale.
One thing I did see in their ad was bunk bed mattresses for $39.99. Not a bad deal. We are still in need of 2 bunk bed mattresses so that may be enough to get me back in Kmart. Can you tell I'm (Kristy)not a Kmart fan?

Another Great Week at CVS!

I get such a rush out of getting great deals. And my hubby graciously listens to my enthusiastic report, but I think you might appreciate it more! J Here is my victorious CVS trip this week!

Bounty 8 roll- $6.99

Dawn Hand Renewal soap- $0.99

Finish Tabs- $5.99

12 SoBe Life Waters- $1.59

Total w/ tax= $35.26

Coupons used
$5 off $20 CVS (printed at scanner)

$2 off Bounty CVS (printed at scanner a few weeks ago, I got another one today $1 Bounty)

$0.25 Bounty MQ (newspaper insert)

6 CVS BOGO SoBe= $9.54

6 Heads or Tails BOGO SoBe= $9.54

$1 Dawn hand renewal (homemade simple booklet)

$2.50 Finish MQ (newspaper insert)

$3.96 ECB

Out Of Pocket (OOP)= $0.00!
Plus $1 ECB (Bounty) to use next time!

I printed my quarterly ECB at the scanner ($4) before shopping. Usually you cannot use the ECB on tax. I think my cashier changed the ECB to $3.96 (instead of 4) so that my OOP would be 0. I don't mind loosing the 4 cents! ;)

What are your recent shopping victories?  We would love to hear them!
