Budget Update

We decided to head back to Cub on Saturday night and grab some more soup. All in all we got 30 more cans of soup and another 2 gallons of milk. The grand total for the three transactions was $10.78. I rolled the $10 OYNO and still have one left to use. All in all that puts me at;


This Trip $10.78
Total so far this month $92.15
Total OVER BUDGET $7.15 + $10 OYNO

If you deduct the $10 OYNO I still have $2.85 left, but budgets don't really work that way do they?

I don't see much in the adds this week that interest me. We have plenty of milk and bread on hand so I won't need to be getting those. Jason will be picking up some salad and veggies at Super Target later because they are supposed to be $.50 after the TC.

The only other thing that could add to me being over budget is the Kmart Super Doubles. I'm not sure if I am going to try and get over there or not. If I do go I'll probably stick with just the free or nearly free items, so I don't anticipate spending very much even if I make it over there.

Kmart Super Doubles

It looks like the Kmarts in our area are doing double coupons again this week. They will double MF coupons up to $2 in face value. I didn't read all the fine print, but the only things that really stood out to me where;

#1 Only 4 like coupons doubled at a time.
#2 Limit of 25 coupons doubled per day.
# No IP coupons will be doubled.

I'm not sure if I will be able to make it out this time or not. We'll just have to wait and see. If I go I'll try to post an update about what things are free or great deals. I'm sure if you head over to Hotcouponworld.com or Afullcup.com there will be some sort of list about what is free or what you should be getting.

Free Arby's Roast Burger

Looks like today is the day of "free" internet finds. This one is for a Free Arby's Roast Burger with the purchase of ANY drink. I would assume that you could order a small pop for around $1 and then get the sandwich for free. Looks like a pretty nice sandwich too considering it is free.

Here is the link for the coupon. From here you can print off the coupon. You can also check out their menu to learn more about the sandwich. Looks like there are three types; Cheddar Bacon, All-American, Bacon and Blue.

Free Quiznos Sub

Quiznos is giving away 1 Million subs. All you need to do is enter your info and they will send you an email with a coupon to print. You can get a free "small" Everyday Value, or Signature Classics sub with no other purchase necessary.

I was able to sign up with each email I have access to so we have plenty for now. :) Make sure to check your Junk or Spam folder. That is where they came to for my Gmail account. They came just to the regular inbox for Yahoo and Juno. Not sure about MSN cause I haven't gotten it there yet.

The coupon expired 5 days from when it is sent. I didn't really think of this so all mine expire on Friday, but I was hoping to use this this weekend. Oh well, free is free right?

There is a counter on the page so you can tell how many free subs are left. They have given out about 65,000 in the last three hours. The total # right now is 132,235.

Save $10/10 and also $5/5 at JCPenny's

I've been putzing (sp) on the internet this afternoon and came across two different code for JCPenny's.

The first is an online only code to save $10 off any $10 purchase or more. I haven't tried it yet because I haven't found anything instock that I wanted, but it is reported to be working still.

At checkout enter REWARD into the "promotion code" box and it should deduct $10 from your total.

There is also a $5 off any $5 purchase or more coupon. You do need to sign up for this, but it comes as a printable coupon and can be used in store of online. In order to get the $5 you will need to sign up for JCP Rewards. It's Penny's free rewards program that they started this fall.

Sign up here, and enter 3050 into the "promotional code" box. When you hit submit it will ask for your credit card info so they can track how much you spend and you can earn future rewards. YOU DO NOT NEED TO ENTER A CREDIT CARD. If you don't want to give them your info simply clip "log out" at the top of the page. If you log back in it should show that you have a $5 reward waiting to be printed.

If you don't enter your credit info you won't be able to earn rewards by shopping at Penny's, but may still receive promotional emails and rewards from them. I chose not to enter my info for now, but may add it later.

Both the $10/10 and the $5/5 should be able to be used together online for a total of $15 off any $15 purchase or more. The $5/5 coupon should have an online code on it once it is printed. This code should be entered into the "Reward Certificate" box.

Hope you find some great deals. Any questions, let me know.
