Kroger Cart Buster Sale & #SelectYourOwnDeal Savings Event #CGC

Since I was in college and buying groceries on my own, Kroger has been my go-to grocery store. Even then, before I had children, I realized the deals they had were so great that I could save money on my small student budget. Thankfully, we've had a Kroger nearby everywhere we move because it is my favorite. Now that I have a family, I appreciate Kroger more than ever because I try to find the best deals and, with their promotions and Kroger e-coupons, I can save a bundle.

Speaking of promotions, the Kroger Family of Stores Cart Buster Sale Event has been going on since March 3rd and will continue until March 16th! This is one of my favorite events because you can save an amazing amount of money.  Many of my favorite P&G products are on sale, including Pampers diapers! Yes, Liam is still in diapers, but I never pay full-price for them, that's for sure, and during the Cart Buster Sale Event, I can save even more. I'm also a Tide fan and have used it since I was a child. Right now, it is on sale, too, and I am going shopping this weekend to stock up!

On top of the Cart Buster Sale, there is another surprise for shoppers right now. Login to your account for extra savings with Select Your Deal! When I logged in, I was prompted to get extra savings on one of 3 items!  The coupons are totally random, so I had no idea what would pop up. I had some awesome choices, including a FREE can of Iams cat food! How did they know I have a cat? I selected the cat food, of course! By selecting that one, it automatically uploaded as an e-coupon onto my Kroger card. I have my card on my key ring, so I just pop it out when checking out at the store and when they scan it in I get discounts and points for gas discounts, too!

Ready to take advantage of these awesome deals? Click Here to Select Your Deal. Then come back and let us know which coupon you chose! You can only do this with your online Kroger account, so be sure to register your card number for all the savings. You will love the website, believe me. Check in today to get your extra savings! Also, come back on March 15th for another coupon choice. So, even if you miss this week's extra coupon, just don't forget next week. Believe me, you don't want to miss this event!

I found great coupons for Sears, including a sale on sandals, something I really need, and up to 50% off warm weather gear.

Gotta Have That Morning Cup of Joe? Gevalia Can Help You Out!

 

Pre-children, I drank coffee just to perk me up in the morning before getting to work. I strolled into the coffee shop for a bagel and hot cup of joe each day and sipped leisurely. However, now I rely on that coffee! Three kids and a cat with meowing kittens will do that to you. How many of you can relate? lol! We have worked with Gevalia several times in the post for Twitter parties and giveaways, so I wanted to tell you about a great offer going on right now.

Enjoy the complete Gevalia experience when you choose convenient Auto Delivery and receive:

• Your choice of any 4 boxes of delicious coffee or tea

Gevalia coffee has a new sale going on that gives you 4 choices of coffee completely for $9.99 AND they are throwing in a FREE Coffeemaker and FREE Shipping, too! Their coffeemakers are absolutely amazing, by the way! We have one and use it daily. Their cofee is delicious, too, so you really can't lose on this. You just have to pay $9.99 and sign up for their auto-delivery service. Nothing is binding!

I've purchased our Tassimo T-Cups from Gevalia for years, but now I am thinking I may just have to try this offer!

Discount Codes Galore At Discount Reactor

Looking for coupons and discount codes has become a hobby of mine over the past few months. I love putting my budgeting skills to the test each month to see just how much I can really save. I haven't reached coupon-superstar status, but have reached over $150 in savings on purchases in the past! It's such a rewarding feeling and now I know never to purchase anything at retail price. There is just no reason for it, especially with Discount Reactor to help guide the way.

I used to search the internet for an hour looking for discount codes, free shipping and more! This is no longer the case because Discount Reactor offers a simple way to find all kinds of codes for many shops! At the top of the home page, you can click on categories from "for children" to travel, all just waiting to take you to a variety of savings. In the middle, the newest and freshest codes appear and at the bottom there is a list of the shops with the best codes to check out.

Since I want to find the best codes, I scrolled to the bottom and started searching. My son's birthday is this weekend, so I really need to find a few extra presents. I found free shipping codes for both One Step Ahead and The Disney Store, two of my favorites with toys both my children love. We all know how expensive shipping costs are these days, so free shipping codes can save a great deal of money.

Take a look at the coupons available at Discount Reactor and tell me which ones are your favorites! There are some great Father's Day gift ideas, including codes for The Chess Store and LobsterAnywhere.com! Since it is a relatively new website, expect Discount Reactor to continue growing over the next months. More and more codes will be added and you will be able to find even more great deals. I've already bookmarked the website and will be checking back often, but you can also sign up for their newsletter to keep up with deals, too.

Save Money & Space With Uncle Bob's Self Storage

A few years ago we moved into an apartment when my husband was finishing up law school. We wanted to save money and thought that would be the best way, but we didn't take into account the lack of space. We went from a spacious house to something less than half the size! I was forced to downsize a great deal, but many items were too precious to throw out. What should we do? I started looking for storage facilities immediately.

At first the outlook was not so good. Many storage spaces were either too expensive or just not kept up very well. For my belongings, I wanted a place that was clean, safe and still affordable. Luckily, I found Uncle Bob's Self Storage, which has locations around the United States! I was so excited to find a place that fit our price range and even saved us money, so we could stay on our budget.

Uncle Bob's Self Storage stood out to us for many reasons. They offer several different sizes of storage areas and climate control. The climate control is great for items that cannot withstand heat, such as all of my family photos. We could also choose from indoor or outside access. As someone who is always looking for a great deal, self storage deals are always a plus and Uncle Bob's has many going on. For our location, we could even get 50% off the next month's rental fee! 

Having a self storage area has been such a relief for us and something we've continued to purchase throughout the years. Moving has been so much easier without so many things to take along with us each time. Plus, it's great to know my items are safely contained and my house doesn't have to be cluttered. Do you use self storage? You should look into it, especially when you find great deals like we did!

Find Great Coupons Via A New Coupon Facebook App

I often mention we are on quite a tight budget. Our family does what we can to save money! Over the past 2 years I have learned that you never buy items at retail price and most of the time a coupon can be found. There are many ways to find deals, including searching online and even cutting coupons from your Sunday paper. However, with the new Coupons Facebook App. 

You install the app just like any other on Facebook, which takes all of 30 seconds. I just installed it on my computer and was able to customize my deals. I clicked which stores were my favorites, such as Target, Kohl's and Amazon. All of the latest and popular brands can be found. Plus, I can even set it to post on my wall when great deals. New deals are posted weekly, so you know you are getting the best and most recently coupons and sales delivered straight to your Facebook page!

The Coupons by Answers App is easily accessed over on the left-side of your Facebook page under "Apps", so you can click any time to see the deals posted. Today I found a $20 off $100 purchase at Babies "R" Us coupon code. What I also like is that the deals are user verified. Over to the side you can see the success rate for other user who have tried the coupon, so there is no guessing involved! You can pick a coupon and deal with confidence that it will work. It really doesn't get any easier than that.

Finally we can add an app to Facebook that will actually save us money! I'm so excited to see all the deals that are posted each week. Click the link above to find out more about the app and to install it on your Facebook page. Let me know what you think!

Amazing Coupon Codes Means Endless Deals

I love to shop. I mean, I really love to shop, but now that I am a stay at home mom, I can’t just buy anything I’d like. I’m on a budget and, just like many other moms out there, I have to watch my spending. Lately, I’ve purchased more items online because I can find them at cheaper prices, especially when using coupon codes from Valpak. People ask me all the time how I can afford the shoes I purchase for our family and it’s all because of coupon codes!

What do I love to buy? I am a huge shoe addict and I have over 100 pairs in my closet right now. Plus, now that I have children, I can buy shoes for them, too. Of course, I love purchasing expensive shoes, but on a budget this is not always possible. One of my favorite online stores is Endless and now that I’ve found some amazing Endless coupons, I’m able to purchase name brand shoes at discount prices for the entire family. I’ve found Keen, Crocs and Stride Rite for the kids. For myself, I found great deals on Steve Madden, Clarks, Puma and more.

You can find coupon codes for free shipping, a percentage off your purchase and more with Valupak! I love when I get free shipping because that’s over $10 saved! What’s your favorite thing to buy? Do you use coupon codes when purchasing?

Cheap Cute Costumes For Your Little Ones

It seems like every year Halloween costumes get more and more expensive. They also tend to be put out at stores much earlier and all the good ones get taken before I even have a chance to browse the aisles. I never buy my costumes in-store anymore because there is a better selection online and I can find them for cheaper prices, too.
Here are two ways for you to get your children Halloween costumes online without breaking the bank this year.

1. BuyCostumes.com- an online store with a huge variety of costumes for babies, kids and adults! What I love about this website is that they have selections separated by price, some of which are under $10! I took a look and there were some great ones for only $9.99 that I've seen priced much higher elsewhere.

2. ThredUp - I absolutely love ThredUp and talk about it all the time. It's a great way to get a huge box of children's clothes for hardly anything. Use my link provided and get your first box free. All you will have to do is pay the shipping, which is $10.99 (I think). It's shipped in a medium sized box priority mail, so it's a huge box completely FULL of items. Right now they are featuring their Halloween costumes. Every box I've ever received from ThredUp has been awesome!

Many of us are given gift cards all the time as presents, but how often have you gotten a gift card to a store or restaurant you NEVER go to? UGH!

Because they sell discount gift cards, which means you can purchase them for up to 25% off retail price. So, you never have to purchase gift cards at retail price again! That is certainly right up my alley, as I'm always looking for sales!

In addition to the many store and restaurant gift cards, Cardpool also sells itunes gift cards! My nephew always wants these for holidays and now I can get them at a great price, which means more credits for him!

Save Even More Money!
First, sign up for Ebates if you haven't already. You will get $5 just for signing up. Then, use Ebates when purchasing items with your gift cards to receive a cashback! Next, search for coupon codes and free shipping deals when using your gift cards to maximize savings! The options are limitless!
