Mall Deals!

Sorry it has been so slow here on my blog. Things are good here ... just focused on clothes shopping for the kids more than groceries! So let me share some things I look for when I shop ...

Macy's - They have AMAZING clearance and has coupons out weekend for an additional % off. I found Tommy shirts for $5 each, new pair of jeans for $7.00, and some great Carter's shirts for the boys at $3.49 each.

JC Penny's - My friend, Gena, showed me her receipt last night. She found great clearance deals and her total savings was over $790! She only spent $49. This time of year (and July) is a great time to shop for clothes! Check out this $10/$25 coupon for bigger savings

The Children's Place - Michelle and I drive an hour to Altoona, IL, to The Children's Place. They have great quality clothes for great prices. Sign up for their birthday club for great coupons and always check their flyers in the mailbox and their emails for great deals! Always $5 shipping!

Gymboree - They have great clothes but a little pricey for me (I can't spend $30 on a pair of khakis for my boys). But their clearance is something to look at. Sometimes they have an in store special of an extra % off PLUS use a coupon for great savings. They have a new rewards card that is free to sign up for.

Kohl's - Always has great clearance and you can't beat Kohl's Cash! Check out their website and sign up for their emails. Sometimes they email out $5/$5 coupons - gotta love those savings!

Weis Rewards - Starts 2/14 to 3/17!

I love when Weis has their Weis Rewards. You can earn a percentage off your grocery bill by the amount you spend previously.

Spend $200-$399.99 and earn a 5% discount

Spend $400-$599.99 and earn a 10% discount

Spend $600-$799.99 and earn a 15% discount

Spend $800 or more and earn a 20% discount

PLUS continue to earn Gas Reward Points for Sheetz Gas Stations!

Tips (has worked in the past):

Give the cashier your coupons and bonus card after the order is rang up. This helps you earn the points of the total purchase spent before your coupons lessen the amount. So if you amount is $249 before coupons and then $149 after coupons, you will get points for the $249. (Same goes for Gas Points).

At the time you want to redeem your percentage off, ask the cashier to do it first before coupons. This way you can get a percentage off your total BEFORE the coupon deduction for MAXIMUM savings!

Weis is one of my favorite stores! They have great customer service and are so friendly with coupons! (Well, at least the Bellefonte, PA rocks)!

Also look for the P&G Saver Rebate availalble at www.weismarkets.com

Thriving Family - Free 6 Month Subscription!

Focus on the Family has a new faith based magazine available called Thriving Family. New subscribers can receive a free 6-month free trial by mail when you register here.

I received my first issue last month and really enjoyed it! My husband even pointed out very helpful article about the challenges of blended families, a topic we are all too familiar with.

The magazine has a cover price of $3.99, so this is a very nice freebie. Nothing to cancel, and no strings attached!

Thanks, Maura!

Tip: Hoilday Candy

On Coupons.com, there are coupons for Valentine themed candies. I always clip these and then the day after a holiday, I see what I can get dirt cheap! You can always use these candies for birthday goody bags or even separate the colors out for the next holiday (like Christmas was green & red so serve red at Valentines and green at St. Pat's day). Plus, who doesn't love a cold Hershey kiss out of the fridge (they are in my butter compartment at my house).

Sometimes I even by the Valentines cards on clearance and keep them for a rainy day craft. Havyn and I did a gingerbread train the other day that I got for $2 and I have a ton of egg dye kits that I got for $.10 at CVS last year for this year. I store all this above the most inconvenient cabinet in my house - the one above the fridge. I need to get up there soon to see what I have stored away. Oh ... I love surprises!

New Coupons at Coupons.com

Coupons.com has some great coupons up!

$1/2 Kraft Cheese (great at Giant PA where they double $1 q's)

and a ton of toy coupons!

Tip: I always print off one of each toy coupon and carry it with me. Everytime I go to the store, I check out the toy section (yes, even at the grocery store) to see if anything is on clearance. Sometimes you can score toys for less that a $1.00 coupon. They are great to stash for birthday gifts and Christmas (gasp! yes it is coming again).
