Check Your Mailbox

If you're on Pamper's mailing list, be sure to check your mailbox for a new postcard from them.  This one has 2 coupons: $2 off diapers and $0.50 off wipes.

My Apologies

I've been a little slow getting some of my matchups posted this week.  My attention has been drawn away by some unusual matters, that will require me to make a trip out of town.  So, please hang in there while I smooth things out and I'll do my best to get things posted as soon as possible.

Hot Deals on School Supplies Next Week at Walgreens

Walgreens is getting ready for Back-to-School season, so expect to see some great deals on school supplies like rulers and highlighters for only 9 Cents!

$6.50 Money Maker at Drugstore.com!!!

If you're like me, it seems like half the people you know have birthdays in August!  Drugstore.com is one of my favorite websites for gift shopping.  For women you can get great items for her to pamper herself and there are some really unique gifts for men.  The marshmallow-firing toy shotgun I gave as a Secret Santa gift was a big hit.

Why do I bring this up?

Right now, if you shop at Drugstore.com through Ebates, you'll get 6% cash back (double the normal cash back offer).  When you spend $25 or more, you'll get a free $25 Restaraunts.com egift certificate AND if your a first-time shopper you'll get free shipping on your $25 order. If you've never shopped with Ebates, you'll also get $5 for signing up and making your first purchase.



So, if you spend $25 on Drugstore.com, you'll get $5 for signing up for ebates plus $1.5 cash back, everything will ship FREE and you'll get a $25 Restaurant.com gift certificate you could keep, or use as a gift for another birthday.  That makes this a $6.50 money maker!

Printable Coupons

So many companies are keeping their own sites for printable coupons, its starting to become difficult to keep track of them all. 

I'm adding those sites I find to the sidebar of this blog.  Scroll down and have a look.  I'll continue to update this over the next few days, so expect the list to grow and then I'll continue to add more as I find them.  Also, if you have a favorite site for coupons, please email me or post a comment.

Old Navy 15% off + 10% Cash Back

Use coupon code OnSave15 at OldNavy.com to save 15% on your order.

Shop through Ebates and you'll receive an additional 10% cash back PLUS $5 just for signing up. 

If you're not familiar with Ebates, its a website that tracks your online purchases and gives you cash back based on what you buy and where through a check you'll receive in the mail.  To get your cash back, you have to go to ebates' webpage and link to the store's page. I don't shop online that often because I don't like to pay for shipping, but when I do I use ebates, and I've earned close to $40 just in cash back through my infrequent shopping.

Shopping in store?  Head over to Old Navy's Facebook page, click the Barker's Bones tab, and search for a coupon Barker the dog has buried just for you.

Free Goodnights Sample

Go to my other page, Megan's Baby Madness, to learn more about this freebie and other savings for baby.
