This coupon would be great for back-to-school lunches! Save $1.50 when you purchase any Santa Cruz Organic peanut butter AND applesauce product. (You’ll need to register before you can print.)

Fred Meyer and QFC are both great locations to find these products. Let me know if you have a good sale to match this coupon up with!

Fred Meyer has Wisk detergent (50 oz) on sale for $3.99 and if you use the $3/1 Wisk coupon that we got in last weekend’s (8/29) Red Plum insert (a regional coupon) – you’ll get it for only $0.99 cents! I knew this coupon was going to get us an awesome deal on Wisk!!

If for some reason you don’t have the $3/1 coupon, there is a $1/1 printable Wisk coupon here, or a $1 printable coupon here (must register), or $1/1 Facebook coupon, that will make it $2.99.

The sale apparently runs until 9/14, so you have some time to stock up, and this is definitely a stock-up price! If you go to the store and they are out, ask for a rain check at the $3.99 price – this means that when they do get it back in stock, you’ll get the advertised price of $3.99 and you’ll be able to use your coupon with your rain check to get it for $0.99 cents.

If you’re headed to Fred Meyer, check out my list of other deals for the week!

Thanks to my blogger pal Angela at The Coupon Project for the heads up on this awesome deal!

Today I turn 30! Can’t believe it. I’ve been so busy with the new baby, my 3-yr-old, the blog, and life that I’ve hardly had time to think about it (maybe that’s a good thing?). I’m excited for a day with the family and a kid-free meal with my husband (yes, we’ll be using a coupon)!

Now to the point of my post. . .for the last two weeks my e-mail inbox has been filling up with birthday offers from companies that I’ve registered with. I thought I’d list them out for you, so you can see what kind of extra bonuses you can get by signing up for these companies! Some of these companies, I’m not exactly sure how I ended up getting the e-mail, so I’ll list my best guess.

I recommend people set up a FREE e-mail address through gmail.com or hotmail.com for use when registering with company newsletters, coupons, etc – so you’re regular ole e-mail isn’t bombarded with newsletters and advertising on a daily basis.

Here’s the crazy list of birthday love. . .

Today is a Mega Swag Bucks day! This means it’s prime time to earn some serious Swag Bucks to add to your Swag Bucks account. . .to then turn into awesome prizes such as gift cards!

It also happens to be my birthday – so Swag Bucks, being the groovy program that it is, awarded me 50 points just for having a birthday! (It’s available to all Swag Bucks participants, but I can feel special, right?)

Have you jumped on the Swag Bucks bandwagon yet? I heard about it for close to a year before I jumped on board and I wish I would have sooner. In the two month, I’ve earned tons of Amazon.com gift cards, just by using their search toolbar and doing other things that earn Swag Bucks. I like it because it requires minimal effort from me and I earn points to redeem for prizes, which I’ve opted for Amazon gift cards so I can buy things we need for the baby!

I’ve also heard for people who cash in their Swag Bucks at Christmas time and use all of their points for Christmas shopping, which I think is a great way to make your money stretch around the holidays. Read more

You can print coupons for Old Navy by playing a dirty little game on the Old Navy Facebook page. All you have to do is “like” Old Navy on Facebook, click on “Barker’s Bones” tab and play the game (pick a dirt hill). If you don’t find a coupon, keep clicking the dirt hills until you do.

I clicked around for a while and found a $5 off $50, a $10 off $50 and a $15 off $75. If you find a coupon and you don’t like it, it appears you can try again by clicking on the Barker’s Bone tab again and the game starts over. I think you can ultimately only get one coupon to use. You can opt to have it printed immediately or e-mailed to you.

I had mine e-mailed to me. Looks like it expires in one week and it says I can come back next week to find another coupon!

With this weekend being the Labor Day holiday there won’t be the traditional coupon inserts. There will probably be some good sales and lots of ads, but no scheduled manufacturer coupon inserts that I know of. If you subscribed to multiple Sunday papers through the News Tribune or Olympian, I recommend putting your papers on vacation this weekend – no reason to get multiple copies of nothing

When you put your subscription on vacation you have two options – request them to be dropped off on your next delivery day OR have your subscription extended at the end. I am going to opt to extend my subscription, as I don’t want the papers for this weekend. :) To put your News Tribune papers on vacation, just call subscription services at 1 (800) 289-8711.

If you haven’t subscribed to multiple Sunday papers – you should check it out! It’s very rare that we get NO coupons in the Sunday paper (mostly just holiday weekends) and I’ve found my savings easily pay for the subscription – which is only $1 a copy! Check out the special Queen Bee News Tribune/Olympian subscription offer!

When I was at Albertsons this morning saving bundles of money, I noticed these peelies on the Gatorade bottles – which makes them super cheap this week. Here’s how:

Buy 10 (32 oz) Gatorades for $10
Get 10 Propels for FREE (when you buy 10 Gatorades, must be done in same transaction).
Use three $1 peelies for Gatorades
Final price = $7 for 10 bottles of Gatorade and 10 bottles of Propel – that’s $0.35 cents a piece
Even without the peelies, it’s a decent deal at $0.50 cents each

Not sure how this promotion works. Watch the register when you check out to make sure $5 comes off for your Propels. It’s advertised on the front page, top fold of the ad in case you have questions.

I didn’t buy any because we don’t need it. I found it near the front entrance of my store on a display.

Did you get some FREE Cool Whip at Albertsons this week? One of my favorite ways to use Cool Whip is making Creamy Mojito Torte. The ingredients are relatively inexpensive and it’s always a hit when I bring it to gatherings or serve it at my house. (Sorry the photo doesn’t do it justice, I haven’t taken a photo of it when I make it, so I had to copy this out of my cookbook.)

It’s a Pampered Chef recipe, but you don’t need all the fancy Pampered Chef tools to make it. Any kind of cake or torte pans will do. The thing that makes it so delicious is the cream cheese and cool whip filling/topping. :)

The Pampered Chef ® Creamy Mojito Torte Recipe

Nonstick cooking spray with flour
1/2 cup plus 2 tbsp dark rum, divided
1 pkg (18.25 oz) butter recipe yellow cake mix (plus ingredients to make cake)
1 1/4 cups powdered sugar, divided
3 limes, divided
1 pkg (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
1/2 tsp mint extract
1 container (12 oz) frozen whipped topping, thawed

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray Torte Pans with nonstick cooking spray with flour. Place 8-in. circles of Parchment Paper over centers of pans; set aside. Substituting 1/2 cup of the rum for 1/2 cup of the water, prepare cake mix according to package directions in Stainless (4-qt.) Mixing Bowl. Whisk batter 1 minute. Divide batter between pans, spreading evenly to edges. Bake 14-16 minutes or until wooden pick inserted into centers comes out clean.
  2. For glaze, combine 1/4 cup of the sugar and remaining 2 tbsp rum in Prep Bowl. Remove pans from oven to Stackable Cooling Rack; let stand 5 minutes. Invert one cake onto Simple Additions® Large Round Platter. Invert second cake onto cooling rack. Brush wells of both cakes with glaze.
  3. For filling, zest two of the limes using Microplane® Adjustable Grater to measure 2 tsp zest. Juice zested limes to measure 3 tbsp juice. In Stainless (6-qt.) Mixing Bowl, combine juice, zest, cream cheese, mint extract and remaining 1 cup sugar. Whisk briskly until smooth. Fold in whipped topping and mix until very thick. Attach open star tip to Easy Accent® Decorator; fill with 1/2 cup of the filling and set aside.
  4. Slice remaining lime. Cut slices into quarters. Spread half the remaining filling into well of cake on platter. Slide Large Spreader between second cake and cooling rack. Carefully place cake well-side up over filling. Spread remaining filling into well. Pipe rosettes around cake; garnish with lime slices.

Cook’s Tip: To substitute rum extract for the rum, prepare cake mix according to package directions, adding 1 tsp rum extract. For glaze, use 1/2 tsp rum extract with 2 tbsp water; combine with powdered sugar as directed.

Disney Family Movies on demand is offering up a FREE preview this weekend! That means you can watch unlimited Disney movies on demand if you are a customer of Blue Ridge Communications, Charter, Comcast, Cox Communications, Suddenlink, TVN Entertainment and Verizon. It’s advertised to run September 2-6.

I’m admittedly an idiot when it comes to our TV and our cable menu. I had to call the Comcast company to find out how this works. I guess in my area (on Comcast) this doesn’t start until Saturday? Not sure why it doesn’t start until Saturday, but apparently when it is available you can access it by clicking “On Demand” –> Movies –> Movie Collections –> Disney Family movies. Update – The information I received from calling Comcast was incorrect. It is active for me at this moment! I found it by clicking On Demand –> Top Picks –> FREE Disney Movies! There were four available:

  • A Bug’s Life
  • Monster Truck Mater
  • Muppet Treasure Island
  • Pocahontas

Leave a comment if you have a different provider than Comcast and how you found it in your cable menu.

I pulled myself together early this morning to go shopping at Albertsons before my husband had to go to work, so I could go shopping without kids. The store was quiet, the deals were rockin’ and I think I like starting my day off with so many good deals. :) I spent $17.04 out of pocket, but left with $15 in catalinas to use on future purchases, so my final cost for all these items was $2.04! I saved $93.78. Here’s how I did it. . .
