Insert giveaway!! INCLUDES P&G!!

Hello everyone! So I feel terrible about missing the B2S post last week. It was a crazy week for me! So I'm going to make it up to you and put up a set of inserts from this past sunday's paper for a giveaway! This set includes a P&G insert!! Yayay! I will also include a Red Plum from the upcoming weeks inserts as I will have mine in hand before the giveaway comes to an end.

Something different about this one: For each "entry" you are given points. It has come to my attention that sometimes these are just clicked and the tasks are not actually done. To keep to the integrity of the blog, and be true to all my readers I will be verifying all entries. I have not done this in the past and for that I am sorry.

As usual this giveaway is open to U.S. residents only! It will start tonight (7/30) at midnight and end wednesday (8/1) at midnight. I will draw a winner and announce it both here and on Facebook shortly thereafter!

Thanks so much for you patience with me the last week as I start a new journey in my life... As always if you have any questions or suggestions please feel free to contact me at Brighteyes2581@gmail.com!

Giant Eagle ad breakdown 7/19- 7/25

Hey everyone! It feels like it's been forever since I posted but it was really just sunday huh? :) anyway, I'm back with some awesome Giant Eagle deals for the upcoming week. As always, coupon values and some prices may vary by region.

Here we go:

Sargento Shredded cheese Buy one get one free! This is awesome as the price in the ad says save $2.98 with your card. Broken down that makes each one just 1.49 each... New stock up price! for as much shredded cheese as we go through here you better believe I'm taking advantage of this one! BUT not shelf clearing :)

Turkey Hill ice cream also Buy one get one free (this is for you Jen :) ) there's a coupon in the 5/13 RP for $1/2 which you can still use even though its buy one get one free because of the way their system breaks it down! makes each one just $2.49!

Barilla pasta blue box: 10 for $10!! yay finally a good pasta stock up! we are down to the last few! use: $1/2 from the 6/24 SS.. makes each box 50 cents... keep in mind pasta is often something we can get for free BUT recently thats been impossible so I say 50 cents is still good :)

Pepsi and mountain dew 24oz 6pks are 4/$11.. that's just $2.75 each not too bad really.

This weekend we are expecting a Moments to Save Pepsi Co. insert... this only comes out every few months and the coupons have a short life span so use them quickly yet wisely :) The following products have coupons that can be found in that insert,

Tostitos chips, salsas and queso dips 2/$6 with a $1/2 coupon in MTS insert

Doritos and Lays 2/$6 with a $1/2 coupon in MTS

Quaker chewy granola or soft bake bars 2/$5 with a $1/2 coupon in MTS

Pepsi NEXT 2liters 99 cents with 55 cent off coupon in MTS ****NOTE- this coupons does NOT DOUBLE!**** sorry no free soda this time around :)

Lipton iced tea .5 liter 12 pks and starbucks frappuccino 4 pks 2/$10 with a $1/2 coupon in MTS

Nabisco Newtons, nutter butters, and vanilla wafers 2/$6 there is a $1/2 coupon available on Coupons.com for these items (excludes single serves)

Starkist Pouch tuna 4/$5 use the 55c/1 in 7/15 SS which doubles making each packet just 15 cents each!! This also kicks back 30 cents in fuel perks for every 4 bought in a single transaction :) not too shabby :)

On to health and beauty stuff... most of you know I do my H&B shopping at CVS. But I can't hold back some FREE DEALS from my readers can I? NO WAY :) so here they are:

Crest toothpaste 6.4 oz use 75c/1 from the 7/1 P&G insert= FREE toothpaste!!

Kotex by U tampons and pads 2/$8 use $1/1 from 7/8 SS

Gillette disposable razors $7.49 use $2/1 from 7/22 RP (in our area these are in your tuesday "junk mail".

Bayer 40-120 count asprin $5.99 use $3/1 from 6/24 SS

Now this one I'm going to list as a MAYBE because I haven't actually seen the SS insert for the coming sunday... So I'm not entirely sure how accurate this is concidering we haven't seen this high of a value coupon for this particular product in a long time. BUT:

Stayfree pads are $2-- in the 7/22 SS there's SUPPOSED to be a $2/1 coupon which makes these FREE!!! **side note suggestion: I'd be there as soon as the store opens for these, they will go FAST!!**

Okay, that's what I've got for this week. As always if you have any questions or see something that needs to be added please feel free to contact me at Brighteyes2581@gmail.com !! Happy couponing!

Okay so to start off we have:

Lance Cracker creations are on sale again 2/$5 with a 10 cent bonus fuel perk for purchasing 3 in one transaction. USE: 75C/1 from 6/17 SS makes each just $1 a box! **note these are usually GONE when I shop so I suggest getting there early :)**

Earning gift cards!

So in addition to Viggle there are lots of easy non-time consuming ways to earn gift cards. I'm going to break them down and leave you with links to get started.

The first one is Swagbucks. Swagbucks rewards you for things as simple as partcipating in a daily poll, watching videos (and most of these are very informative), and simply browsing the web. Basically you are awarded points for each action you complete and when you hit specified point levels you can cash out for things like gift cards to your favorite stores and restaurants.  I personally cash out my points for Amazon gifts cards to use on Amazon.com where I purchase anything from movies to video games to my couponing binder!  You can also earn points for printing (and redeeming) coupons!!! How awesome is that? Getting rewarded for something you were already doing right? If you are concidering joining please use my referral link:
http://www.swagbucks.com/refer/Brighteyes2581

Speaking of earning for things you are already doing, I suggest you look into and sign up for another awesome website called Savingstar. This is more of a "cash back" type website and also allows you to cash out for amazon giftcards or paypal or ank deposits.  The way this one works is you register you rewards cards (grocer, CVS, Rite aid) on their website. You click on the "coupons" and when you purchase those items the "coupon" value is deposited into your savingstar "account" when you reach $5 you can then choose your payout option.  These are NOT coupons that will come off automatically at check out! **note: each store seems to have different time frames for notifing savingstar of your purchases, I'm not sure if this is just the way their systems update or what. But for example things I have purchased at CVS will show in my account faster than things I purchase at Giant Eagle.** So be sure to check the savingstar website before you shop to ensure you have all the coupons loaded!

I will add a few more later! As always if you have any questions please feel free to contact me at Brighteyes2581@gmail.com ! Happy couponing!

Giant Eagle ad breakdown 7/5 to 7/11

Sorry this post is getting up so late. I promise it will be up no later that wednesday nights from now on. I'm finally getting myself on track and figuring out a schedule for things. Thank you to all of you who have stayed with me during this start up, I really appreciate you!!

So the Giant Eagle ad kinda stinks this week so I had to go out and do a little research on my own to bring SOMETHING to the table for all of you. The prices and deals I am about to list are not exactly my "stock up" prices but are good for now if you really need something. Always remember ANY savings is savings and it's money you have in your pocket :)

So here we go (remember coupon values and/or prices listed may vary from region to region):

Nesquick syrup: 2/$4 USE: 50/1 coupon from SS a few weeks back (sorry cant find it in database right now) will double making each bottle just $1!!

Yoplait Yogurt cups: 20/$10 USE: 40c/6 or 50/8 from 7/8 SS (also available in 6/24 SS) will double and there are also SAVINGSTAR savings available for this! Be sure to log into your account and load them onto your card! These are also producing a $2 OYNO (on your next order) catalina.

Gerber graduates are on sale and are producing a $2 OYNO (on your next order) catalina when you purchase any 5 items. This sale includes the following: Puffs 2/$4, Meatstix 2/$4, Entrees 2/$4, Yogurt blends 2/$6

Betty crocker, Ocean spray and Motts fruit snacks are $1.99 each you can find coupons on Betty Crocker's website for these as well as in the 6/24 SS.

Nature valley granola bars, betty crocker muffin mix and Bisquick are on sale 4/$10 you can find coupons from the nature valley on Betty Crocker's website and in the 6/24 SS. These items are also giving you an additional 10 cents fuel perks when you purchase 4! There are also additional savings on SAVINGSTAR for these items.

Colgate toothpaste 10/$10 USE 50c/1 from today's (7/8) SS makes for FREE toothpaste :) I already have enough so I'll leave it for all of you :)

BIC razors (Soleil, Flex 4 and flex 4, Advanced & Hybrid) $4 USE: $2/1 from today's (7/8) SS makes each just $2. You all know that razors are something I get free at CVS so this is NOT a stock up price by any means. But again if you NEED them its a good price :)

As always if you have any questions or want to add anything I may have missed, please feel free to contact me at Brighteyes2581@gmail.com! Happy couponing!

Favorite time of year! B2S!! =Back to school!

Obviously a little sarcastic :) But really with two kids to get supplies for I need to find the best deals possible. And I plan on sharing all of the deals I find with you! The stores I will cover are: Staples, Office Max, Target, Kmart, Walmart, and the drug stores if I find deals there too.

So let's start off with my favorite!
STAPLES

They have some great deals this week. Be sure to check your sunday ads for the Staples flyer as there is a $5 off a $30 purchase coupon on the front page. In addition to that if you have the Staples rewards card, check your email. I got a $5 off $30 coupon in my email last week.

OFFICE MAX

They also have some great deals this week. Be sure to look in the sunday ads for a $5 off $25 dollar purchase coupon found on the front of the ad.

Here are the deals!

2. 10 pk crayola markers (bold colors) and 12 pk crayola colored pencils 99 cents each

WALGREENS

There isn't much at Walgreens or any of the drug stores right now to report on but keep your eyes peeled. Walgreens (as much as I dislike to coupon there) often has some of the BEST B2S sales! I've gotten supplies super cheap there in the last few years and what better than that? FREE! again watch for coupons in their store coupon book available in the rack where the weekly fliers are kept.

Here are the deals:

1. Filler paper 130 sheets 79cents with in ad coupon (make sure you take this out and have them scan it!) LIMIT 3
2. 2 pocket folders (these are the paper ones) 8 for $1 with in ad coupon (again make sure they scan it) LIMIT 16

That's all I've got right now! I checked Walmart and Kmart's sites before I posted for updated ads and have found none. I will make a trip to both stores tomorrow and see if there's anything worth reporting and update the post tomorrow afternoon!!

Now off to get that Giant Eagle list together for you! Sorry its taking so long for that but to be honest there really isn't anything in the ad worth reporting, but Lewis and I did do a walk through the other night and I found a couple of items worth it :)

As always if you have any questions or other deals you have found that I haven't posted about feel free to contact me at Brighteyes2581@gmail.com Happy Couponing!
