Tight Wad in Utah

This is awesome!!  I remember last year I got a $5 no minimum purchase coupon.  I got snowmen salt & pepper shakers for my Grandma!  FREE!  Now with this coupon its $10 off with a minimum purchase of $10!  You will have to pay tax..lol  This is also a great way to get FREE wrapping paper. :)  You can also opt for a 25% off Hallmark.com coupon. Find a location here .  The coupon states participating stores only, so call first if your worried. Thanks My Frugal Adventures! .

The other day, I received a mailer from WinCo comparing their prices to Walmart, Harmons, Smiths and Macey's.  I kept it to compare against my notes, and to see how those prices were affected by my coupons.  I didn't realize until this morning that the back of the mailer was full of coupons for FREE breakfast foods! FREE WinCo Items: Malt-O-Meal Cereal: Saved $2.48 Bars S Bacon: Saved $1.98 Cascade Pride English Muffins: $.68 Minute Maid OJ: $2.48 Oakdell Eggs: $.87 =FREE and more FREE!  Wahoo!! Total Savings: $8.49 If you're close to a WinCo, I hope you saved this mailer! It's worth the trip!!   --you can only use the coupons at the store listed on them.  And you can use them all in one trip! Veronica Did you have a great shopping trip? Have a frugal recipe? Know a great sale or deal?? ANYTHING OF A TIGHTWAD NATURE...

I guess this is when having friends on Facebook and Twitter pays off. :) If 15 people sign up with It's Thoughtful before December 15th, you'll get a $25 Amazon Gift Card by mail!  You can invite people by email, Facebook, or Twitter. (easy sign up...just email and name, then you will get a confirmation email) Once you get your link, feel free to leave it in the comments! After 400 people get 15 sign ups they will start having drawings for 4 winners to win $25 Amazon gift cards.  So if you want it I would do it sooner rather than later. You can still invite friends to Shop it to Me and get a $10 Gift Card to Amazon, Gap...etc when you invite 10 friends to join (no need to buy).  You'll get the gift card of your choice in 7-14 days by mail. Thanks Bucktown Bargains! .

For the next couple of days, zaZing is having a deal of a deal!  Have you ever eaten at Tucanos ?  It's a sublime experience.  It will be even more sublime if you go there and spend only $25 instead of $50! They have two locations:  Provo and Salt Lake City.  You will have to determine the location of your preference prior to purchasing the certificate.  zaZing is another daily deal site. Though you have to make this purchase in the next couple of days, the use of this gift certificate doesn't expire until February 12, 2011. This is a new site I came upon today via Tucanos directly- no credit for signing up and no affiliate links associated with the promotion.  Nonetheless a good deal.  Can't wait for date night! Happy eating! Veronica

I've been paying $28 a month like a sucker!! :)  Right now you can get a 2 year membership at Costco for $299!  I called my gym and asked if I could cancel and do this deal and they said YES!  I just need to bring in the certificate that I buy from Costco and they will make the magic happen.  I'm so excited about this! Just thought I would share in case someone was in the same boat as me.  Or if your thinking about joining this is a GREAT price for an awesome gym! --plus the $28 I was paying was only for ONE gym!  This deal is for an ALL CLUB membership!  This deal is so great!! Go here to buy online with FREE shipping and to see reviews.   There are also some restrictions so make sure you look at it all before you buy...although Costco has THE BEST return policy. :):)  Another reason to love 'em. On the Costco website the offer says "not valid for current members".  My gym said they would take it...I guess it's that or I cancel :) .

I got these bananas for 18 cents a pound by price matching! Ever since Audrey started this love affair with coupons I've tried to join the fun.  I struggle doing so, though, probably because I don't get the newspaper.  I have heard, and I believe it's true, that until you do it's hard to really have fun with coupon using.  What I have been able to embrace, though, is price matching.  I love price matching!  Since I buy a lot of produce this is the most effective way to save money at the store without having to go to a bunch of different stores.  I used to be intimidated, but after encouragement and coaching from my sister (who is always raving about it) I gave it a try and now I do it all the time.  Here is a quick run down of how I do it: 1)       When the sale ads come in the mail, I sit down and circle everything that looks good.  2)       If I’m good and responsible, I check my Costco price list to make sure it really is a better deal.  3)       I look through
