Saving - Once Upon A Child Sale!

I noticed Once Upon A Child's sign indicated $1 clearance items now.

Guess what?! If you sign up to be on their email list (scroll down under picture of SF store) you may receive a $5 off any purchase coupon at the bottom of your welcome email like I did!

Saving - New Olay Rebate!

With a $50 purchase of Olay Facial Moisturizers, Facial Treatments or Facial Cleansers you can receive $20 back by submitting this rebate! All purchases must be made by September 3, 2010 and can be completed on more than one receipt.

There are quite a few coupons out there right now to make this an even better deal. I'll keep you posted if I come across a really awesome deal.

Just curious...does anyone beside me submit rebates? I really didn't do a lot of rebates prior to a few months ago, however I have found these to be a big money saver so I have been doing a few here and there. Let me know what you think of rebates in the comments. Sumit or don't submit?

I used to love back to school shopping with my Mom. I think my favorite part was picking out a new backpack for the upcoming school year! Do you have a favorite back to school shopping memory?

Starting this Sunday you can purchase a backpback at Staples and submit an Easy Rebate (online...truly is easy to complete) and receive a Staples Gift Card for the purchase amount of the backpack. It's like getting a free backpack!

To sweeten the deal, check out these coupons:

$5 off $25 purchase

$10 off $50 purchase

$50 off $200 purchase

Plus you will find some low cost school supplies that will be on sale:

$.01 Multipurpose Paper 500 Sheets

$.25 highlighters package of 6

and others....

Saving - Pop Tarts & Free Movie Ticket?

Thank you to reader, Amy, who passed along this deal! There are specially marked Pop Tarts (with a green top to them) that have special codes inside, which can be collected to earn a free movie ticket or other fun prizes. I love the free movie ticket deals! Being frugal, it is hard to fork over so much for a movie ticket...but when you can get a free ticket for something you may already buy - oh yeah!

How this works:

Buy 5 specially marked pop tarts (must each be different flavors)

Enter codes here

Get Free Movie Ticket! (says you can do this 5 times!)

Did you know there are 25 different Pop Tarts? Check them out here.

To make this deal sweeter:

Sign up for the Sprinklings newsletter and receive a coupon in your email for $.55/1 Pop Tarts (possibly even better deal at Kmart double coupons event!)

Also, check your Redplum insert from 6/13 for a $1/2 coupon
