Register to be a World Book Knight Giver in 2012

2011-12-14T17:36:00.000-08:00

If you love to read a good book and to tell other people about it, you may want to apply to be a World Book Knight Giver. On April 23rd, 2012, World Book Night, an annual celebration designed to spread a love of reading and books, will take place in the U.S. and U.K. and they’re looking for 50,000 volunteers to each hand out 20 copies of select books. That means they’ll be giving away a total of 1 million FREE special World Book Night paperbacks! Wow!

In order to be a book giver, you must be:

*Aged 16 or over and a resident of the U.S. (go here for the U.K. site)
*Able to pick up 20 copies of your book from your local bookshop or library
*Committed to giving your books away on World Book Night to non or light readers

How Does it Work?

*Head on over here and fill out the form to register to be a World Book Knight Giver.
*On the registration page, you’ll need to make 3 book choices and state why you’d like to participate and where you are thinking of going to give out your books. Keep in mind that World Book Knight Givers will be chosen based on where, to whom, and why you want to give books away.
*You will be notified in early February 2012 if you have been chosen to be a book giver and which of the three books they are able to provide you with. You will then choose at which local bookstore or library you’d like to pick up your box of books ahead of World Book Night.
*Then, on April 23rd, 2012, you’ll just need to go to a coffee shop or hospital, church or community center, an after-work party or train home, shopping mall or local school — and give out 20 FREE paperbacks. Keep in mind that these paperbacks will be specially-produced, not-for-resale World Book Night U.S. editions, and there will be 30 titles for you to choose from.
(Thanks, Hip2Save, Dayna!)

Family Dollar Ad - Deal

2010-04-29T08:54:00.000-07:00

I got the new Family Dollar Ad in the newspaper today. Prices good thru April 29 - May 9th.

Noticed a few good deals right away. The dawn hand renewal will be on sale for $2 and if you have any of the $1/1 coupons then you can get it for $1. not bad for a really good dish detergent.

there are some suave coupons here there are 2 different suave coupons there $1.25/1 and $3/2

I personally plan to do
(8) suave solid anti-perspirant $12 ($1.50 x 8)
$12 - $3 - $3 - $3 -$3 = $0.00! (just the tax)

(4) suave solid anti-perspirant $6 ($1.50 x 4)
$6 - $1.25 - $1.25 - $1.25 - $1.25 = $1 (plus tax)

so for $1 (plus tax of $1.26 = $2.26) I will get 12 suave deo's! That is a price of $0.18 each!

My total saving at CVS and Kroger (since I didn't track everything all year really) is a whooping grand total of $7752.33

Now I know it is more because of the Target wipes, Wags deals and other savings all year long. I will now keep track of all my savings from every store starting Jan 1, 2010. I want to have a nice knowledge of my savings and the only way to get that is to track is myself at non-card stores.

Recycle Bank

2009-12-22T10:34:00.000-08:00

Recycle Bank is something in a few areas that encourage recycling by offering rewards. Well right now even if they aren't in your area you can still get some benefit from them with electronics. Also right now when you open a new account they will give you 100pts to start with. You can get a $4/$20 CVS coupon for 40pts, not bad really. CVS is a sponsor that authorized that coupon. Coke has a $1 off any product coupon for 10pts. So say you need a bottle of Dasani water and it is $1.39 well with that coupon makes it $.39 for a bottle of water. Not bad at all! So there are stuff you can get now with your free 100pts for opening an account. Plus if you can get enough people interested then maybe you could get your community into it and then earn even more points for items from the program.

I do know this is something big in NY and if enough people get involved we can help recycle even more.

Target Cheap/Free Baby/Toddler Wipes

2009-11-10T15:57:00.000-08:00

targets website has the coupon listed on there, also found out that at target registry box u can print target coupons from there to save your ink n paper.

I got 20 mix n match of the toddler refill (40ct) size wipes and baby refill (40ct) size wipes. The toddler wipes were $0.97 and the baby wipes $1.47. I got (the receipt says) 14 pkgs of toddlers wipes and 6 pkgs baby wipes. So match the 6 baby wipes pkgs $0.47 each.

My total after all the coupons for 20 pkgs was $3.02. Yes I could have done all toddlers wipes for free but I wanted some of the baby wipes haha!

i will be going back tomorrow for more haha!

CVS - Ice Age Dawn of the Dinosaurs

2009-11-08T06:43:00.000-08:00

So last week CVS had a deal with buy $20 of coke products (listed on the front ad) get $15 off Ice Age 3 which was on sale for $19.99 making the movie $4.99. Last Sunday I went and got the deal on my card.
(3) 12pk coke
(2) bags of snickers mini's
(3) bottles of smart water
(1) Ice Age 3 DVD
Total = $24.99 before tax (which is cvs' normal retail price of the movie haha!)
Subtract my coupons
(3) $1/1 coke 12pk
(1) $2/1 Ice Age 3 dvd
(1) $10 ECB
(1) $5 ECB
add $1.40 for tax
making the movie and everything else $4.39

Did the deal also on both girls cards yesterday. didn't price and coupons but same items.
So on Aja's card the movie cost me $3.43 and on Sabrina's card it cost me $5.49.
So for 3 copies of 1 movie I paid $13.31 which is less than the instant savings on 1 dvd alone and still $6.68 cheaper than the cost of the movie retail at most places.

Shopping 2/23

2009-02-24T07:27:00.000-08:00

So last night I went out to do my shopping trip. I normally go on Sunday, Wednesday and Saturday. Well we had a bunch of snow fall this weekend so I didn't go on saturday (I went on friday instead) and didnt go on sunday either, hence going out last night.

1st stop was CVS. I had to get Sabrina's inhaler so I stopped and did some shopping. I got 1 shick intuition razor, 1 20oz coke, 1 Mint Mylanta, 2 Kid Throat Coolers. $29.48 - $2 shick, $3 mylanta, $4.99 throat cooler, $4 EB, $4.99 ECB, $6 ECB = $2.07 plus $0.84 cent tax = $2.91 OOP. I got back $3 Mylanta, $4 Shick, and the cashier force printed $10 for the throat coolers. So I started with $14.99 in ECB's and walked out with $17.00 - $2.91 cash = $14.09 Money Maker for me *happy dance*

Next stop was Martin's for some 10/$10 sale. Then off to Kroger. At Kroger I got some valentine's items on clearance, some bandaids on clearance 4 boxes for $0.91 and (4) $0.97 those were after coupon. Next was Walgreens. Got some good items there. I got 11 boxes of Garnier 100% color on sale for $3.29 each I had $3 off q's so SCORE! $0.29 a box plus tax. I also got 14 reeses's whipps candy bars for -$0.77 after store and mfg q's. I got 3 hairbrushes on clearance because mine broke. I couldnt pass up 2 of them because they were normally $12.99 (FOR A DARN BRUSH!) and clearance for $3.59 each. After all my q's I paid $9.59 for it all and I saved $122.00! BOO-YA!

Next trip is on Wednesday night.

Where I learn my tricks
