Oh my! Birthday freebies, points and coupons!
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. . .
FREE Disney on Demand movies, Sept 2-6
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.
(Thanks, Chi-Town Cheapskate!)

Albertsons – Deals for 9/1 – 9/7, FREE cheese, Cinnabons. . .
Update 9:24 p.m. – Some people are reporting having problems using this $5/5 Kraft coupon (see deals listed below). It might be because it’s such a high value coupon and it’s also an online printable coupon AND apparently it beeps at the register. It is a VALID coupon and if you want, you can print the home page for Huddle to Fight Hunger, so they can see it’s source. Not sure if that will help at all, but just in case.
Others have used the $5/5 coupon with no problem!
I think it’s going to be a fun week at Albertsons (9/1-9/7) with all the great deals and free-bees. The most exciting deal is FREE Kraft Cool Whip, no coupons required, FREE Kraft cheese, FREE Kellogg’s Cinnabon bars, FREE energy drinks and FREE Oscar Mayer hot dogs.
Print coupons – $2 Girard’s salad dressing, $2/2 Nivea lip balm
Print a high value $2 coupon for Girard’s salad dressing. This dressing is usually more expensive than other brands – you can expect it to be $3-5 a bottle, but this is a great coupon to print and if I find it on sale, I’ll let you know!
Another great coupon available to print is $2/2 Nivea lip balms. This coupon scored us FREE lip balm last month at Safeway when it went on sale for $1 each. . .so print it now and let’s hope it goes on sale again before the coupon expires!

Buy five (5) for $5
Pay $5 out of pocket

Save $10 on your next shopping trip when you buy 10 participating Kellogg’s or Keebler products in a single transaction
Kellogg’s Cinnabon bars – $1.99
Buy ten (10) Kellogg’s Cinnamon Bars for $19.90

Brown Bear Car Wash – FREE car washes, Aug. 26
Do your wheels need a wash? Is washing your car on your to do list? Well this Thursday, August 26, from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., you can get a FREE car wash at all participating Brown Bear car washes (all tunnel locations).
You don’t need a coupon. Just show up with your dirty ride. I would be prepared to wait in a line (then if there aren’t any lines, you’re pleasantly surprised)! See a list of participating Brown Bear locations here. Looks like locations are on the East Side, in Seattle, Snohomish County, South King County and Tacoma/Lakewood.
If you live in Lacey, Hawks Prairie, Centralia and Tumwater, the Wave Car Wash has coupons on their Web site for Military Mondays – which is $2 off Tidal Wave or $3 off Tsunami car washes with a valid Military ID, or Ladies’ Tuesdays – $2 off Tidal Wave or $3 off Tsunami car washes (I’m assuming for ladies). Print the coupons and bring them with you to save on your car wash.
I have to admit, I don’t mind paying $10-12 for a car wash. Is it the most frugal thing? No, but for me it’s worth it to have a clean car without the hassle of doing it myself. I think every frugal person has things they compromise on and it’s okay! I figure I’m saving so much money in other areas of my life that I won’t feel guilty paying for a car wash once in a while (I don’t go through weekly – I’m lucky if it’s once a month). Plus, it’s entertainment for my 3-yr-old, there has got to be some value in that!
Now if I could find a frugal way to get the inside of my car cleaned! Let me know if you find a FREE detailing day! 
(Thanks, Thrifty & Thriving!)
