Hey guys. After seeing the Frys ad this week I did a little research and ordered some coupons off of ebay to maximize my deals.

So if you are in AZ you may receive $1 off 2 hefty one zip bag coupons and if you are in FL you may have $1 off 1 Hefty one zip. With good research, you can buy coupons to make good sales great deals! You will end up paying for your coupons but the cost is minimal usually 10% of value. So you pay$0.10 for a $1 off coupon.

I also received a $2.50 off your next shopping order Compliments of General Mills.

Here is a great deal I found today thanks to my good friend A.J. Walgreens is clearancing out all the Photostamp packages to update the packaging to show .44 stamps. The original price is 18.99 they are now clearanced to 7.19. This will get you a book of 20 postage stamps. You get software to go online and create your own photo stamp. Then use to code in the package to pay for 20 stamps. They will be shipped for you free if you choose standard shipping.
So pay $7.19 and a book of 20 $0.44 stamps. That is a savings of $1.61 you would regularly pay for stamps.

Today I bought a box of Trix at Frys. I picked out a box that was specially marked. It said “You could win Cash” Well if anyone knows me I love chances to win cash. I have been one of those people who will buy lottery tickets just for the chance. So I spent $0.39 for this box after Frys Mega Sale discount and printable coupon. (www.coupons.com)
I couldn’t wait! I loaded all the groceries into the car and dug around until I found my box of Trix. Opened it up and there like a shiny beacon of light was a foil package with a $5 Discover gift card!!

Yippy! You can bet that I am printing as many Trix coupons I can find. This is better than the lottery. Not only do I pay less money for my initial investment. If I don’t win I still have a box of cereal to eat!

Mars Chocolate Company is having a Chocolate Relief Act Promotion.   They will send coupons for a Free Candy bar to the first 250,000 entries every Friday until September 25, 2009.   Each person is eligble for 4 free coupons.  One a week!  I have already recieved my first coupon in the mail this week.  YAY!
