100% Free
I did Target “free,” but only because I had a $5 gift card to use. Today at Safeway though, I finally did it for real. My total was $0 and Bob was as excited as I was. He even yelled to next cashier over about it. Here’s what I got: 10 Magnum Ice Cream Single […]
But it Was Free!!
Two-packs of Dry Erase markers are on sale for $.99 each at Walgreens right now. A few days ago, a $2/2 packs of said markers appeared on Coupons.com (it looks like it’s already be gone). Now I don’t even own a dry erase board and have no plans to purchase one, but I’m sure you […]
Redemption at Walgreens
What’s that saying? If at first you fail, try, try again? I took it to heart and went back to Walgreens yesterday after my defeat there last weekend. Actually, it had nothing to do with proverbial wisdom, but more the fact I had $5 worth of register rewards I would be stupid not to cash […]
I Hate Most Banks, Cellphone and Cable companies.
I’ve severed almost all ties to bloodsucking corporations over the past year. My top three categories of “predatory corporate evils one inevitably has to deal with as an on-the-grid adult” are banks, cable companies and cellphone providers in that order. 1. Banks. A few months back, I abandoned Bank of America in favor of a […]
Saucy Deal at Safeway!
Not too long ago I bought a bunch of Classico at Target because it was on sale for $1.88 and I had a bunch of $1/2 coupons. Imagine my embarrassment when this week’s Safeway ad came out and with in ad coupon, jars were a mere $1.49 each! You might think I’d be out of […]
Target Totally Free!
Today a hot $1 off Reach Dental Floss coupon hit the ‘net and I’ve been meaning to start flossing more (ok, ever.) The coupon blogs told me single packs of Reach floss were regularly priced at $.89 at Target and between that and my $5 gift card from kitty litter, it was the excuse I […]
Albertsons for 88 Cents!
Last night Timbro threw down the gauntlet and challenged me to do a totally free shopping trip. While I’ve gotten plenty of items for free so far, I’m yet to walk out without paying anything because I have this pesky habit of buying things I actually need when I go shopping. Today though, I came […]
New to Me July 13, 2011
Thrift/vintage is somewhat of a cottage industry here in Portland. Options run the gamut between totally free stuff* that people around town leave on the sidewalk in boxes, to showing up at designated times for first dibs on bins full of junk&treasure at Goodwill, to standard thrift department stores, to curated collections of fine vintage […]
Target Trip- July 12, 2012
This week Target is offering a $5 gift card when you buy two bags of Purina catfood, which happened to have a $2 off coupon on Facebook (explaining my new facebook fandom) and I thought, hey, that seems like a pretty good deal. So I printed off my coupons and headed to Target today to […]
Cheap Chapstick
Remember that Walgreens Register Reward I didn’t know what to do with? Well, I actually put it to good use. I went snowboarding on Sunday and with summer snowboarding comes very chapped lips. I am really good at losing/washing Chapstick so I stopped at Walgreens in Sandy on the way up and picked up four […]
