Great Deal on Soda Stream at Staples~ get one for your Pop!

20130615-090514.jpg

Got hubby & I something for this Father’s Day without breaking our budget. There are so many sales and coupons for clothes and everything but I know Anh Mark doesn’t need another shirt, wallet, tie or watch.
Since we love sodas this is a great deal for us to try it out… I wouldn’t spend $80 for one but for $28.53 I’m willing to try it out :)

As most of you guys already know I don’t have a problem spending money in advance and getting them back in rebate checks or Visa debit cards.

Staples Rewards & their Easy Rebates can earn you free office supplies all year long. Read more to find out how this is possible.

Also check out >>> M¢ney $aving Tip for 2013: ✂ the coupon clutter

This is how we stock up and take advantage of MIR offers without hurting our account.

I also don’t have a problem paying in advance for the free items after Staples Rewards. We shop at Staples a lot so we’re always able to put the Staples Rewards to good use (we use them for ink, and office & cleaning supplies)

Here’s how we did it:

This week Staples has Soda Stream on sale for $79.99
Sale ends 06/15/13

Here’s how you can get it for a great price!

FIRST… Head over to Safeway or any Safeway chain stores that are participating in the Dads & Grads gift card promotion (BUY Staples $50 gift card and earn $10 Cat WYB $25)
The gift cards promotion at Safeway ends 06/16/13 and the last day to use the coupon is 07/02/13

20130615-001334.jpg

BUY: 1- Soda Stream, $79.99

USE: 10% off any item coupon here

USE: $50 gift card to pay and pay whatever left however you like

SUBMIT: $20 Easy Rebate online or by mail but make sure you save your Easy Rebate receipt

or SUBMIT for $25 Soda Stream MIR here make sure you save the receipt and UPC

Plus there’s a 5% Staples Rewards for this purchase! :)

TOTAL: $41.99 after 10% coupon, $10 Catalina coupon, and $20 Easy Rebate

If we’re able to combine Easy Rebate with Soda Stream $25 MIR.. the total would be $16.99…. SWEET DEAL!

**Since I used our $24.25 in Staple Rewards, $50 gift cards (received $10 Cat), didn’t use 10% coupon since I didn’t have it at the time the OOP was $8.53
After $20 in Easy Rebate ($20 Visa card) and $10 Cat but we had to spend $50 for gift cards so our total our this purchase is $28.53.

Again IF we’re able to do the $25 MIR since it’s a manufacturer rebate and $20 Easy Rebate is a Staples rebate, fingers crossed but I’m sure we can our total would $3.53**

Don’t forget there’s a 5% Staples Rewards on this item. I’m just not
sure if Staples is going to count the total before or after the $20 Easy Rebate. I’m thinking after ($59.99) and if so that $2.99 in Staples Rewards for me without using the 10% coupon.

Our Giant trip for dairy products

20130609-221834.jpg

Before heading to Giant we went to Shoppers to buy $100 in TRU gift cards. From the purchase we received $20 in Catalina coupon.
We occasionally shop at BRU and to get $20 just to buy their gift cards makes me happy.

Then we headed over to Giant and this is the math :)

Total before coupons: $97.57

Bonus Card Savings: $14.20

•Manufacturer Coupons: $7.15
•Double Coupons: $1.15
•Personal Thanks Savings: $5 from Catalina coupon since manager couldn’t enter in $20 he was trying to enter in $5.00 four time but that didn’t work either. It worked only one time.

That’s how there’s a $15.00 cash tendered on the receipt for the $20

**OOP: $57.22
**EARNED: 1,661 gas points = $1.66 x up to 35 gallons = $58.10

Will also earn: $1.40 from Saving Star.

A little work and we earned free groceries and $2.28

Day 5 of Baby Week Giveaways~ Enter to win $200 in Rakuten Super Points

20130531-122644.jpg

Whether he’s a stay-at-home dad or a businessman back to the office right after his new baby is born, new dads deserve some love this Father’s Day:
Help a new dad look cool while he’s lugging around those diapers and wipes with a camouflage messenger style Diaper Dude bags.
If dad spends most of his day in the office, he’s sure to miss his little one. Set him up with a digital photo frame to keep on his desk.
Let’s face it, new dads need time for themselves too. Let him catch up on all of the past TV series he’s missed with a complete DVD series of his favorite shows or movies – or this Jawbone Jambox so he can hear his favorite tunes.
Likewise, if enjoying the outdoors and being fit is how dad likes to spend his spare time, set him up with a cool bike (and attachment for when baby has grown up) or digital health gadgets, like a Fitbit or Nike SportsWatch.
All of these are great Father’s Day gifts for a new dad but my top pick is Beats Solo HD headphones. Dad can jam to his favorite tunes as he bounces his fussy baby around the house to soothe it during those late night crying sessions. Or he can listen to a good audio book or sports radio while completing his honey-do list while mom rests. Either way, he’ll love these stylish and super durable headphones with high definition sound.
All of these items can be purchased at Rakuten.com where you’ll find thousands of other items Dad might like for Father’s Day. Thank him and all the hard work he does for the family all year long with something special!
If your new dad wants to stay in the loop on all things pregnancy and baby, tell him to check MobileMom.com for a collection of mobile apps for moms & moms-to be.
Feeling lucky? Enter to win $200 in Rakuten Super Points by filling out the form below.

Eat healthy and still save money!

We love to eat a salad every day and I tend to mix it up with whatever we’re having for lunch/dinner.
I know all grocery stores sell the ready to go mixed salad bags for around $4 or more a bag. This is a great idea for anyone that doesn’t have a lot of time. As my husband would always say people would pay more just to save them time. With one income we always want to stretch each dollar and we know with the time we put into it we can save a lot to help out so many people and animals in need. With that said~ here’s my way to save on eating healthy and it doesn’t take a lot of time at all. It will also save you a lot of money in the long run.

20111013-232026.jpg

I usually buy romaine lettuce when there’s BOGOF promotion at Giant. The cost for two is $3.99 and that will usually last us for more than a week since we’re a family of two. If Giant doesn’t have a promotion (they usually do) on romaine lettuce I’ll just buy it at Target. I buy almost everything I can from Target; the five percent savings from our debit card really helps us.

20111013-232244.jpg

Pick the best looking and heaviest bag of romaine lettuce you can find since the store doesn’t charge by pound. A bag of romain lettuce usually has three fresh hearts.

20111013-232837.jpg

A ready to eat salad bag is good enough for two servings and it’s usually $3 per bag with a good sale/coupon. I always add in tomatoes, cucumber, carrot, red onion and everything else that you see in a salad…we buy everything we need to make our favorite salad when we buy the romaine lettuce. It’s still less than $3 per bag.

The time it takes to prepare our salad (romaine only) less than five minutes.
•Chopping one romaine heart into bite size pieces will take me no more than one minute.
•The time it takes to rinse the romaine heart very well and using our OXO salad spinner to get all the water out usually takes less than three minutes.

•Chopping all other vegetables to add to our salad and repeat with the rinse and spin process will take me another five minutes.

As you can see from the picture~ on the plate is one beautiful and very fresh plate of romaine lettuce and we still have five more hearts left. One romaine heart is usually good enough for both of us for one lunch/ dinner.

The cost for six fresh romaine hearts, $3.99 or $0.67 per romaine heart. Combining all the special fixings and other vegetables for our salad~ it’s estimated to be around $6.50 for twelve salad servings.

If you were to buy six bag of ready to eat salad in a week that would be $18 and not counting the time driving, buying and standing in line to buy more ready to eat salad in the week (if you only buy one or two at a time)

OXO Steel Salad Spinner

is the best purchase I’ve ever made. It’s helped save us so much time and money an paper towels. I use it every day and love it so much.
