Living - What's in My Mailbox?

My mailman either thanks me for helping keep him busy, or dreads delivery to my house! I hope it is the first. I have been meaning to put together my mailbox items for a while and just hadn't gotten around to it. I kept throwing the items in a little box and well, it was over flowing.

You can go here for a $3/1 coupon for Glucerna products. It is my understanding that the Glucerna cereal is on price cut at Target right now for $3.50, which would make the cereal just $.50. Great price for those wanting this cereal!

Living - Will You Get It?

The first 100,000 fans to "like" Famous Daves on Facebook will receive a certificate to buy 1 meal get one free! Now just note that Sioux Falls, SD is NOT on the participating Famous Daves list.....however, if you know you will be traveling soon, why not try! Good luck!

Living - DYK Peppers

I have thought some about adding a new article on the blog for "Did You Know" items, which will become better known as DYK! The purpose of these articles is to help you with your Living, Laughing or Saving in some fashion. The meat of the article may be about something you already know, but hopes are that someone out there didn't know and now they will!

I am open to suggested DYK topics. So if you think you might know something that others don't already know, please send those topics to me at the email address up top. Thanks in advance!

This weeks DYK article is about Peppers.

What happens when you go to the store and buy a fresh bell pepper (red pepper, yellow pepper) and you take it home, slice it up and only need to use half of the pepper for the recipe you are making? You put the rest of the pepper in the refrigerator. You go back a day or so later and the remaining pepper is all wrinkly and no longer crisp.

Did You Know (DYK) that when cuting up the pepper you should leave the seeds in tact with the part of the pepper that you are not going to use. Place the remaining portion of the pepper in a baggie and place in your refrigerator. When doing this, I have been able to use the yet crisp pepper a week later! I learned this several years ago when I was doing Pampered Chef shows and have enjoyed spreading the word ever since. Hopefully this will help you save some money on produce!

Saving - Coupon for Free Flamedisk

Go here to enter your email address, which you will then receive an email with a link to print your coupon for a free flamedisk. This has intrigued me.

Saving - Benedryl Coupons

I don't know about your kids, but mine are full of bug bites even after applying loads of bug spray! My daughter even has one bug bite that I am currently treating with an antibiotic. UGH!

What better time of the year to have some Benedryl coupons to use. You could use the $4/2 coupon to get 2 itch relief sticks at Target for maybe $.30 ea!

Thanks, Hip2Save!

Saving - Walgreens Deal

Can you tell I finally got a trip into Walgreens today so I'm able to pass along some of the deals I was able to find?! Well, I forgot to post about this one in my shopping trip notes. This one would have required you to have purchased a paper other than the Argus, because these coupons were not available in the Argus. It would have also required a purchase of at least 2 papers. Here it goes!

There is a Register Reward deal on several different products on the top of page 8. Here is the deal scenario I completed today:
Purchase 2 Schick Quattro Razor Systems or Refills @ $8.99 ea

Has anyone found any other awesome deals on clearance this week?! Please share!

Saving - Walgreens Deals this Week

I was able to make my shopping trip to Walgreens and enjoyed some awesome deals this week. However, I do have to say that the "free" after register reward items this week are hard to come by. I am not sure of a store that has them. I may have to do some calling. I want some of the blistex!

Saving - Groupon

Groupon is an excellent way to save on some of those splurges like going out to eat, shopping, etc. If you haven't tried it yet, I recommend it. Today's deal in Sioux Falls is $10 worth of coffee and baked goods at Cappuccino Cabin for just $5. If you are not from Sioux Falls, go here and check out your deal by entering your city.

Saving - Coke Coupon from Betty Crocker

Here is a rare coupon for Coke at Betty Crocker. You can also get coupons here for Dixie paper products, Suddenly Salad and Kingsford Charcoal!

Saving - Qdoba Coupon

Saving - Walmart Rollbacks

I have to say that since I started couponing more intensively, I haven't done as much shopping at Wal-mart as I may have in the past. However, from time to time I still make a special trip to Wal-mart with a handful of coupons to hopefully find some good buys. I picked up a rollback (or sale) bill on my last trip and thought I would share a few of the sales with you:

Saving - Boss's Pizza and Chicken

Have you tried the pizza and chicken at Boss's Pizza and Chicken yet? Yum! I suggest giving it a try if you haven't. This is a local business and locally owned. They have done a great job at trying to meet the national chain prices, which can be hard to do as selling pizza in the masses can help bring your cost down. Anywhoo....remember the deal I told you about for the $9 large 2-topping pizzas they are offering? Even better, if you like a specialty type pizza, you can get a coupon at FallsFood for ANY Large pizza for $12! (Click on Food&Brew, click on Boss's Pizza and Chicken, then look to the left hand side where it says 'Internet Coupons', click and print.)

You can go here to sign up for the mailing list, which offers coupons and special drawings for free pizza!

And make sure you give the guy dressed up as a chef outside the Boss's Pizza and Chicken a little honk, as you drive by! :-)

Saving - Fireworks on Today's Keloland Spotlight

Do you need to purchase fireworks this year? If so, check out today's deal on the Keloland Spotlight. Get $25 worth of fireworks for just $12 at Hot Shot fireworks.

Saving - Happy Hour or Special Hours

Summer is the time to make sure we keep cool and well hydrated. And of course, just enjoy a special treat every now and then. Why not do it around local deals to ensure you stay within budget.

I would like to know what happy hours (non-alcoholic this time :-))you know about around Sioux Falls and other local areas where you can get great specials! Here are a few I am aware of below:

Long John Silver's 2-5 PM Half Price IceFlow every day (medium is noted as $1.49 so just $.75!)

Sonic 2-4 PM Half Price Drinks including slushes

Wendy's After 9 PM soft drinks $.99

Culvers After 8 PM B1G1 Free on Concrete Mixers

Kum & Go - $.52 32-ounce all Summer long

Saving - Long John Silver's Insert in Argus

I am completely not a fish eater, however I just wanted to point out that there was a Long John Silver's insert of coupons in today's Argus Leader. One special coupon I would like to point out is the one right in the middle, it is good for one FREE Medium IceFlow Frozen Lemonade. No purchase necessary!

Also a reminder to be sure and make use of the Taco Bell FREE Limeade Sparkler coupons that were in the paper a couple Sundays ago. Let me tell you, these are pretty tastey!

Living - New Blog Design

I hope everyone enjoys a fresh look to the blog. I am in the process of playing around with some of the new features blogspot has to offer, so don't be suprised if it changes again. I appreciate your patience while the site is under construction.

And feel free to let me know what you think of the new look. Comment below.

Saving - Quiznos Coupon

Go here for your Quiznos coupon, with an expiration of 7/4/10. Free chip and regular fountain drink when you buy and regular sub, large sub or regular chopped salad.

There is also a $1 off a regular sub on a link about the attached coupon.

Living - Free Sample & Coupon Playtex Sport

I am amazed by how many different brands and types of tampons and pads there are to choose from. I can't seem to keep up! However I am starting to believe that if one were to sign up for all the free samples out there for the new products, you may not have to purchase Tampons for an entire year! (Okay, so probably an exaggeration, but it sure has crossed my mind!)

If you are interested in a free sample and coupon for Playtex Sport, go here to request.

Living - THANK YOU to Those Who Read!

Lately I have received several notes of encouragement with the Living-Laughing-Saving blog site. I appreciate the feedback more than words can say. I certainly appreciate that others are reading the site, but also can learn something from the site that may help their family; whether it is something to do with Living, Laughing or Saving.

Your feedback inspires me to continue sharing these deals! Feel free to share the blog with your family and friends. And an easy way to give me feedback on how I am doing is sign up to be a "follower" of the site. Although there are only 6 currently, I know there are many more of you out there that check the site. Also, comments on the topics are easy to do and can be done annonymously (however I do like to know your name in case I showcase your info on the site, I like to give you a little shout out).

Also - I am asking for every reader's help in passing along deals for saving, stories for laughing and events or other misc for living. I only get out so much, with my two small children! :-) So your help is appreciated.

Thanks again for your feedback.

Living - Relay Fundraisers

I have to admit that I am a little slow on this one! I just noticed it today, but I will blame it on the fact that I was a little disappointed with the coupon inserts in the Argus this week so I just set them aside and kind of forgot about them. Long story short.....

Living - Coupon Sharing?

Do you have someone that you currently share your coupons with that aren't needed, or excess coupons?

I have a hard time 'throwing money away' when I have an envelope full of coupons that I know I won't or can't use. I'm just sure there is someone else out there that really could use them.

On the other hand, has there ever been a coupon that you really wish you had but didn't get the right coupon insert or forgot to print it while it was available? And you are left thinking, 'I'm sure there is someone out there that just threw that coupon insert away and I could be using that coupon right now!'

I am thinking of putting together a "meeting" so-to-speak, where people can bring their extra coupons to share with others and at the same time browse others' extra coupons.

I would really like your feedback on this!!! Please email me here. Add the subject line "Coupon Sharing". I even want to hear from you if you are not interested and tell me why! I have a few questions:
*Are you interested?
*Any suggestions on free places to hold the meeting
*How frequently do you think it should be held
*When should it be held (Weekday, Weekend, Evening, Afternoon, Over the lunch hour)
*Any other suggestions

I really appreciate your input!

Living - Donations to Raise Money for American Cancer Society

2010 marks 10 years of participating in the American Cancer Society's Relay For Life. Ten years ago, I began my participation after losing my beloved Grandma after her courageous battle with cancer. In the beginning it was more of a way for me to cope with the heartbreaking loss of this dear woman in my life. It has turned into a personal crusade along with thousands of others to help find cures for cancer! This event is so powerful. It is a time for quiet reflection, tears of rememberance and tears of joy and a fight! A fight against this ugly disease.

Please help me in this fight! If you are interested, I am accepting the following donations now:

**I am in the process of putting together some baskets of personal care, cleaning supplies, etc for a silent auction. If you have any new, unused items you would like to donate, please contact me (link below). Think couponing...if you come across freebies, these can go along way just by picking up one extra and donating them!
**Money donations, which you can go here to donate online. Or if you would prefer, you can contact me to do it in person.
**Luminaries - decorate your own (or I can do it for you) in honor of or in memory of a loved one. These are just $10 and the full $10 goes to the American Cancer Society! These are so beautiful to see around the track and are lit up at dusk.

Please contact me today if you have any questions or have donations you would like to contribute!

Thank you! My family and many other families thank you!

May you have a very happy father's day today! Do something special, put your feet up, just hang out with your family at home....just enjoy your day!

My Dad is a pretty special guy. Growing up I remember hanging out with him, following him around and wanting to be as close to him as I possibly could. He certainly gives some of the best hugs. He has had a pretty hard year this past year and it is hard to see him go through it all. But we are so lucky to have him in our lives and just hope that this year will bring him greater joys.....
Happy Day, Daddy!! :-) Love you!
