>The Adventures of Our Mailbox….

by Keri Lyn on June 29, 2009

in A Day in the Life of OUR Mailbox

>

…just wanted to do a post to show you what we have been finding in our mailbox lately. Here are some of the items from last week and today:
The photo above shows the following things (the photo below this is a close up of some of the Walmart Sample items) … Starting in the bottom left and going clockwise in the photo above we have: POPTARTS Movie Tickets from the deal that I did HERE, a $3 Toys R Us Gift Card for my daughter for her Bday because I signed her up for the b-day club HERE, an Axe Shampoo Sample from the Walmart sample HERE, A Quaker True Delight bar from the deal HERE, a Platex sample from the Walmart deal HERE, a Bodycology Sample from HERE, a Garnier Deep Wrinkle Cream sample from HERE, and a DOVE shampoo/conditioner sample from HERE, Hawaiian Tropic sample from HERE, Beggin’ Strips Sample from HERE, 20% Bed Bath and Beyond Coupon (love these!) just sign up on their website HERE, My subscription to ALL YOU Magazine (read about how you can get this AWESOME magazine here for under $20 for TWO YEARS HERE…) this issue alone has coupons that will get me several things for free! Next is my Working Mother magazine subsciption that I got for FREE HERE, and then also my Lavera Sample from HERE, and then my 10% off ANY Home Depot purchase coupon that I got from signing up for the Garden Club HERE, and last (and probably my favorite) is my MONTHLY Cash Back CHECK from my Cashbaq purchases!!! …read more about Cashbaq HERE.)
*BTW…all of my rebate and cash back checks go into a savings account that I opened for my kids…I thought that would be a fun way to watch our savings grow and keep track of them… it is already much bigger than I had expected and I have only been doing the rebate thing for just over a year!!! It really does pay off it if you give it some time and make it a habit!

The photo above is today’s mail, which included from left clockwise starting with the DVD with the Red Truck on it…this is the FIT FOR KIDS DVD that I got HERE, Next is the Scott Lawn Star t-shirt that I got for my hubby for FREE (he doesn’t love it like I thought he would…lol! what’s up with that!?) HERE, next is the ALL BRAN sample box with 3 samples!! I got that HERE (great sample box!), next is my FREE Eye Drop sample from Walmart that I got HERE this is also a great sample that will be nice for travel, next is the Degree Deodorant sample that I got HERE, and next is one of my FAVORITES…my Aveeno Tote bag (so pretty!) along with a shampoo/conditioner sample set (I LOVE this shampoo, btw!)…I got that on the Aveeno Site deal, but it expired within hours…I will be sure to post the next time they do this! And last is the little tiny 3 Digits Resettable Combination Padlock that I got from the Meritline deal that I did HERE for 79cents and I have to say that my son has aleady gotten my money’s worth out of it….funny how the smallest things can provide great entertainment. The only bummer is that they wouldn’t let you choose the color you got…so as luck would have it … my son’s padlock is pink. Oh well… for 79cents ya can’t complain!!
I like to post these photos / details so that you can kind of get an idea of what goes on once you get in the habit of doing these deals. You can always check the FREEBIES link at the top of my blog… and I try to list several daily. We use everything we get (samples are great for travel, camp boxes, care packages, donations and more) … or we share them with friends or donate them. Quite often these things have HIGH DOLLAR exclusive coupons in them as well…
Plus…my kids LOVE getting the mail everyday…can you blame them???

>Blog Box GIVEAWAY for the Week of June 29 – July 5

in Blog Box Giveaway

>

Another week…another empty box ready to be filled!!!
Every Monday I will start with a new empty box and fill it with one goodie per day until the next Sunday. Then we will start all over again!
Here is the first addition to the box this week:Today I added a fun little Bow Tie for your dog or cat (kid, husband…whatever…)

These were on super clearance after Valentines Day at Walmart for over 90% off so I stocked up to use them for donations and fundraiser items for some of the dog rescue groups that I work with. These were reg. price aroun $4 and I paid 25cents each.

Here is my Tuesday Blog Box Addition:

Today I added a Scott brand paper cutter tool….as in COUPON cutter tool! These were on clearance awhile ago at Walgreens so I stocked up … handy!

Here is my Wednesday Blog Box Addition:

Today I added a pretty 8×10 Mat (opening for a 4×6 photo) it is a really pretty color called Krisp Khaki. As you might know, I am an artist…which mean that by nature… I am a collector of frames, mats, crafts and more! (just ask my hubby!)… I see new potential in every mat, frame…you name it, I have ideas for it. Anyway ~ I just got a bunch of these in as samples from one of my wholesalers, so I thought I would share…this is something that everyone can use.

Here is my Thursday Blog Box Addition:

Today I added a Moisturizing Face Mask from Lavera … they are a German Cosmetic company with wonderful products…and quite often you can request samples HERE.
(they have lots available now, I just checked, but you do have to pay shipping…however…every now and then they will have a FREE shipping code… )
Here is my FRIDAY Blog Box AdditionS:

Did you notice that I said additionS? That is because I went ahead and added several items to get the box through the weekend…because this weekend I am going to PLAY!
Today I added some great coupons, including my FREE chocolate coupon from HERE (parting will be such sweet sorrow…) a great coupon book with over $37 worth of cleaning product coupons, a Yes To coupon for $1.00 off (with a sale this could score you free or cheap chapstick at Walgreens) and a 20% off Bed Bath and Beyond Coupon…so THERE YOU HAVE IT!!

>Coupon Print Reminder….

by Keri Lyn on June 29, 2009

in Uncategorized

>Make sure you head to the coupon bar to look through the coupons and catch up on any printing that you might have to do … as they will reset them on JULY 1ST…which is only a few days away and you will miss out on any that you didn’t print!!

CLICK HERE to print your coupons… they have added a few new, and these are sure to match well with upcoming sales. The newest and greatest that I see are the $1.00 off 3 of the small containers of Haagen Daz, yum – and also the $1.50 off Ponds…I am guessing that these will pair nicely with sales, doublers and promos!
Lots of other great ones as well…
You want to stay on top of your printing for when they reset or add new! (you can print each coupon twice!) … a couple other new coupons too, so make sure to look through them and see what new coupons are available for you! You can always use the coupon printer at the right hand top of my blog to check to see if you have new printables available!—->

  • HER STORY….

    So here is the deal….I am a quirky artist chic who loves to shop, save and share ideas. I am also the full time wife of a veterinarian, an overtime mommy, lots of the time artist (www.KeriLyn.com) and some of the time (ok…most of the time) obsessed saver of money, seeker of deals, and finder of freebies! I can hardly stand to pay full price for anything. I think that consumers should be informed and involved and that you have every right to get the best bang for your buck. I also believe in playing fair and playing by the rules…that is what makes life fun! I believe in recycling, using what you can, and donating what you can’t use to those in need. My mantras? (I collect them, by the way ... maybe even to the point of mantra hoarding. I also tend to mumble them in times of stress....) Life is short ... find blessings in the small things, love hard, forgive easily, and pray BOLDLY. Remain calm and embrace the Chaos... because we are all oh-so (more than we know!) blessed!!
