Farewell....sorta

Well, guys, it's been fun being on the CouponCrazed train, but I think I need to change my focus. I've had so much fun couponing over the last couple years, but I think instead of a hobby, it's become more of an obsession. I guess that sounds crazy; but I guess what I really mean is that it's become work. Saving money should be fun! So, I'm changing my focus a bit.

I got in the mode of feeling "required" to make a stop at CVS, Wags, Target, Hen House, Hy-Vee, and Price Chopper at least once per week to get in on all the deals. AND, to then come home and blog about it. I have been falling short in my duties. I have failed you!! See--something must change!! Yes, I've saved lots of money and been able to increase my stockpile. But, for that very reason, I'm just not feeling the pressure to get it all done any more. I have plenty. I need very little. So why put all that pressure on myself, right?

I have a hubby, 2 kiddos, a part-time job. I simply do not have time to run all over town between naps on my 2 days off getting all my deals in, and still have time for cleaning, laundry, all the other misc to-do's, and (most importantly) quality time with the kids.

The result: a new blog!! "CouponCrazed" seemed limiting...like the focus should all be on couponing. Since I'm breaking away from that a bit, I've started an all new blog with a title I think fits my place in life perfectly: Saving My Sanity & Cents! I hope that you will join me in my new endeavor. My plan for the new blog is to list the best deals, opportunities for freebies and samples, money- and time-saving tips for shopping, beauty, and household upkeep. Crafts for the kids, bargain hunting galore, and anything else that sparks my fancy. My real goal is to share all I know about saving money so that others can reap the rewards I have gained in the last few years.

Link over to the new blog now. You'll find it's not all that different in layout, complete with labels on the side to help you navigate. And don't worry...the Holiday Help button is still in play!!! Go! I already have it up and running with posts just waiting for you (and freebies, too! YES!! I said FREEBIES!!!)

Thanks to all of you who have "followed" me on this journey. I hope that you will follow me on over to the new site!

Ciao!!

Yeah!! More movie coupons!! Tinkerbell & the Lost Treasure comes out on DVD/Blu-Ray Oct 27th. Surely there will be some good in-store promos to go along with this release. To make it even better, use this $10 printable coupon good on the Blu-Ray combo pack. And don't forget to enter your code in your Disney Movie Rewards account!!

Also, consider doing a movie-themed gift basket for someone. Add in some popcorn and candy along with this or one of the other DVDs there have been recent deals on, and you've got a pretty nice gift for not a lot of money!

Check out their website for locations and be sure to stop in for 20% off all regular-price consignment clothing!

I've been holding out for a great deal on Halloween candy, and I think I found it. At, of all places, Toys 'R Us!! They are advertising this week that all candy bags priced $3.49 will be 50% off, so just $1.74 each. That isn't a horrible deal itself, but you know me...I have coupons!!!

Three FREE issues of Field & Stream

Know a guy who might be interested in the Field & Stream magazine?? I do!! Happy early Christmas, Darrell...you'll be receiving 3 issues of said magazine shortly!!

Valuemags.com is offering up this deal and I can attest that these magazines DO come in the mail, and I have never once received a bill. It does take a few weeks to receive your first issue; site states 6-10 weeks (I don't know that I've ever waited that long!) Your first mailing should be the October issue.

Bonus Disney Movie Rewards Points!

I just joined Disney Movie Rewards when I bought Snow White a couple weeks back for just $10. I already have 425 points, enough to get me 30 free photo prints from Snapfish, or a 4x6 flip-book, or a 12x18 collage poster (ugh...I'm thinkin' Christmas gifts, people!!)

So I entered my code for Snow White. While organizing the kids movies, I found a code in our Cars DVD, and just found 4 bonus codes online...wa-lah! 425 points!! Those are pretty good rewards for so little work, but I think I may save them and rack up a few more.

Here are some codes to get you started:

LIGHT -- 10 points
TINA -- 20 points
GOBLOON -- 30 points
GRAVEYARDS -- 40 points

Musical Sit 'n Spin just $10 at Target!

Looks like I'll be making a run to Target this week. I hadn't planned on getting this for my son, but at this price I can't pass it up!

Playskool's Musical Sit 'n Spin is just $20 this week. Use the $10 IP or MQ from today's (10/18) SS, and you'll score this for just $10. That's a pretty great price for a Christmas gift...or maybe just to stash away for an upcoming birthday party. Just an idea!!

Coupons for DVDs!!

Yeah!! More coupons for possible Christmas gifts! I love it (**and speaking of such, did you get your Sunday paper yet? More Playskool coupons right there on the front of the insert! I love it!!**) Anyway, smartsource.com has some printables that could make you very happy while shopping to make someone else very happy this holiday season:

$2 off Ice Age, Ice Age 2, or Horton Hears a Who DVD
$2 off Aquamarine, Bend it Like Beckham, or Flicka DVD
$5 off Horton Hears a Who or Spaceballs Blu-Ray
$5 off Ice Age or Ice Age 2 Blu-Ray

Check them out--you know they may not last long. But with that said, don't print them till you're ready because they'll expire 2 weeks from the date you print them. Happy shopping!!

Walgreens Deals, 10/18 - 10/24

The NASA Missions Blu-Ray, Amazon Deal

Have a space nut on your Christmas list? You may want to hurry over to Amazon to check out the deal they have on When We Left Earth: the NASA Missions Blu-Ray 4-disc set! Originally $49.99, now just $19.99 (71% off!)

Deals like this typically don't last long on Amazon...the price generally goes back up pretty quickly. So, if this fits someone on your list, I would snag it up right away. Seems like a pretty good price for an item like this. Plus, it ships FREE with super saver shipping (orders over $25, so you'd have to add something else to your cart)!

CVS Deals, 10/18 - 10/24

Free Glade this week at CVS!! Good prices on Revlon, and deals on Halloween candy!!! Yeah!! There's even a scenario to score a FREE Transformer's DVD (Think: Christmas gift!!)

Thanks, Hip2Save!!

Gear Up for Holiday Baking

I'm liking this printable for $0.50 off Gold Medal flour. Use it at Hen House (or another store that doubles), and you'll score some inexpensive flour for your holiday baking. If you are like me, and already have a fresh bag, maybe pick some up during a sale and throw it in the freezer (freezes great to stay fresh!).

Old Navy ... Another Opportunity to Save!!

If you can't make it in during the extra 50% off clearance items promo going on now, then perhaps you'll save your energy for their 50% off ANYTHING promo starting 10/30!!

The Deal: Stuff & Save!! It runs 10/30 - 11/8. The first 50 customers on 10/30 will receive 50% off everything they can stuff inside the bag!! That's right -- anything!!

The only catch: you must use your Old Navy credit card. Don't have one? You can apply for one that day. Don't want a credit card balance going into prime holiday season? Turn right around and pay that balance off before you walk out of the store. I do this all the time at JC Penney and the Limited. This way you get the benefit of using the card, without the balance looming over you for a month (or longer!).

Are you seeing inexpensive Christmas gifts in your future?? I am!

CVS is Going Green!!

I was super excited to see this little beauty by the registers at my local CVS. I am an avid "green" bagger...I take my reusable bags everywhere I go. Now, CVS wants to PAY me to use them!!

Here's what you do: Buy this little guy, attach it to your reusable bag, and have it scanned each time you shop (along with your Extra Care card!!) For every 4 times it is scanned, you'll receive $1 Extra Buck!! Since I shop CVS at least one time per week, I'm thinking those ECBs will be printing out quite often. Yeah!!

Wags Deal Head's Up

HOT DEAL ALERT: Here's a head's up for next week at Walgreens. Starting 10/18, Wags will have Zantac 24-30 ct on sale for $8.99 with a $8.99 RR...FREE!

What's better than free?? A MONEY MAKER!! Use the $5 printable coupon here to pay $3.99 OOP, get a $9 RR, making this a $5 MM!!

I would print yours ASAP before the whole couponing world finds out about this deal and the coupon print limit is reached!!

A Thrifty Christmas ? ?

So....how many of you have realized there are just SEVENTY days left till Christmas?!?!? Okay, actually, that seems like a lot. But, it will be here before we know it. So do you have unlimited cash flow for holiday shopping? Not I!! So, I'm gonna try to be as thrifty as possible this year.

Snow White DVD/Blu-Ray for $4.98!!!

Have you scored your Diamond Edition Snow White DVD/Blu-ray combo set yet? I hope you didn't pay more than $9.98 OOP. I talked to a friend today who said she got hers at Target and paid $24.99!! I about fell on the floor. She is obviously not coupon savvy so I had to fill her in. I got mine today and here's how the deal is done:

Walmart price: $19.98
Use $10 printable coupon here. Just click on the coupon link (remember you can print this coupon twice per computer, so think Christmas gifts for neices, nephews, or even Toys for Tots!!)

Then, there are two different rebates you can send in for. The first is from Hefty: buy participating Hefty plates, cups or baggies, get $5 back by mail. I got the hefty plates for $1.97 at Walmart at the same time I bought the DVD. Get the form here.

The other is from Kernal Season's popcorn seasoning. You can get all the details here.

You can only submit one of the rebates per movie purchased, but if you are buying two, then with these deals, you can score 2 movies for $4.98 each!!

Now why would you EVER pay $25 for a Disney movie!!??

**Also, don't forget to sign up at Disney Movie Rewards to enter the code from your new Snow White DVD to earn points toward cool Disney stuff!! Plus you'll be automatically entered for a chance to win a diamond ring (Merry Christmas to me!!)

Great Price on Diapers!!

I've never tried Fisher Price brand diapers, but am definitely an advocate for store-brand diapers, so I'd definitely be willing to try these out at a great price. Right now at Babies R Us, these boxes are priced at $5.99! What's better: there is a $2 MQ in the American Baby magazine that you can pick up FREE in-store!! Just $3.99 is sounding like a pretty good deal to me. Has anyone tried these before?? I'm not sure about how many are in each pack, but I'm assuming these are the packs that are regularly priced at $9.99. According to the website, the size 2 pack pictured above would qualify, making these just $0.09 per diaper...definitely within my target range for diapers . . .
I have not been to BRU yet to verify this deal myself, but this is being reported by KCPennyPinchinMama, and she's pretty darn reliable... Lemme know if you score this deal for yourself!!

I'm Ba-ack ! !

I'm sorry for my lack of posting this week. We just got back from a little vacation and had intended to post while at the hotel, during the kids' nap times but alas, we could not get the internet to work to save our lives. Anyway, I'll try to get back into the swing here and link you to all the best deals. Things are heating up in the bargain world with the holidays lurking around the corner. So, you'll want to stay tuned to keep up-to-date on all the best deals to save you money on your holiday shopping!! Thanks for hangin' in there with me!!
