Their new Back To School Sale has a LOT of MIR deals (Mail In Rebate) I shared info about their Rebate program last year ... see here. This is kind of like the Register Rewards at Walgreen's but you have to mail in the form to get your perks back...even though you can still roll them along. What is nice is the simple fact that these do NOT expire, so you can be patient and roll them over when you find the right deal. I LOVE the FREE after rebate items, but will settle for less than free, if I can use up old rebate checks to make up the difference. Here are the deals: FREE 12 pack pens $1 - $1 MIR, limit 10 $.09 each All items $.59 - $.50 MIR, limit 10 items total from this group Stretchable book covers twin pocket folders notebooks 24 ct crayons 3x5 index cards 3 pack glue sticks 4oz glue bottles $.39 each All items $.89 - $.50 MIR, limit 10 items total from this group 3 pack pens loose leaf/filler paper composition notebook 4 pack highlighters 5" Jr scissors

I hit a few stores Sunday and am a little late sharing the spoils... Menard's had all those great rebates -- so I had to cash in on some! We got : 6 packs of the 6pack 20oz bottles of soda @$2.75 ($1.75 MIRs) 2 gallons Vlasic Pickles @$3.98 (used $.55/1 Q and $2 MIRs) Men's leather belt $8 ($8 MIR) 3 No Buzz bracelets @$3 ($3 MIR) I used an $8 rebate check to pay for it so that made for an out of pocket cost of $2.70 when all was said and done!

A simple day at Copps - only three transactions, but I think we did pretty darned well! I really didn't think there 5 meats for $20 was a big deal until I got to the Salmon.

THAT is a stock up price :) I got sucked in with the cereal deal -- and figure I got the 5 boxes for $.81 each, and then, the Free gallon of milk. It was an impulse transaction, LOL...nothing like taking your coupon box/binder with you to the store...and now have plenty of fruit snacks for our kiddo - seriously, about a years worth in the 8 boxes we got today, as we rarely eat them. So -- Transaction #1 5 packs salmon @$4 Whole Grain Goldfish crackers $1.69 (normally $2.39) 4 packages Fruit Snacks @$.99 (Normally $2.49) Morningstar Farm mini corn dogs @$ 3.50 (normally $4.49) Jell-O Temptations strawberry cheesecake @$2.50 (normally 2.89) --coupons used: $1/1 Morningstar Farms (doubled), $1/1 Temptations (doubled), $.55 Go

A repost of mine... I told you I would get to this...LOL! This is right off of their website: The Freecycle Network™ is made up of 4,775 groups with 7,090,000 members across the globe. It's a grassroots and entirely nonprofit movement of people who are giving (& getting) stuff for free in their own towns. It's all about reuse and keeping good stuff out of landfills. Each local group is moderated by a local volunteer (them's good people). Membership is free. To sign up, go to our website (http://www.freecycle.org), find your community by entering it into the search box above or by clicking on “Browse Groups” above the search box. Have fun! Basically, there are four types of posts: Offer, Curb, Pending, Taken. Offer is when you have something you want to get rid of, you add the name of the item, details and city it's located in...people reply directly to you and you choose who it goes to. Curb is when you have something on your curb - like someone who cle

It's over and my official summary form is in! Of the $300 budget I had for the month, we only spent $140.31 and we ate out a few times even! That is 53% under budget!! Week One $66.13 Week Two $31.44 Week Three $27.47 Week Four $15.27 What's funny, is I went OVER what I NORMALLY spend a month! (I know it's mainly due to that lunch in Fraser, Colorado) We also have a TON of fresh produce in that total as well as the fact that we picked over 40# of FREE Cherries, scored some FREE cucumbers and zucchini off a friend and a HUGE score of Greek leftovers, after our neighbor's graduation party! I like the "what did you learn" sections of the form...as we did things the same as we normally do! However, I used this as a learning tool for our 5 year old. She would say she wanted this box of "fruit" snacks and I translated the price into packages of fresh strawberries. -- then gave her a choice: that one box of fruit snacks OR 3 packages of fresh straw
