Earn Free Gifts for Shopping

Nielson Home Scan is recruiting again. When you become a Homescan panelist you can make a difference in today's marketplace by providing information on your shopping habits just like a Nielson family provides info on their tv watching habits.

You'll earn gift points redeemable for electronics, jewelry, toys and more. You'll also earn entries into their sweepstakes. So go check it out and see if it's sounds like something you would be interested in. They don't take everyone. Last time I registered they said they didn't have any openings in my area. This time I was placed on a waiting list so good luck!



Has anyone ever done this are anything like this? Please share your experience in the comment section. Thanks.

Restuarant Gift Certificates 80% off

I have purchased them in the past and they do work. Here is a step by step to make purchasing your certificate as easy as possible. You may want to print this post or open the link in a new window. Please read this post completely before purchasing.

Click on this link Now take 80% off Restaurant.com $25 Gift Cert. orders. Use code TREATS and Pay $2 thru 10/31/09. and search for a restaurant. From here you can buy a $25 certificate-Select the restuarant and click "Add to Cart", enter promo code TREATS. You will now see your 80% savings. Now you can checkout.

If the restuarant you want to go to is a more expensive one then get a $50 or $75 certificate. I considered this but bought only $25 since it was my first time and I was skeptical. There was no way we could have kept our bill below $50 at the restuarant we went to. So, in hindsight, I should have bought $50 for $4.


To purchase a $50 or higher certificate: Click the "Give a Gift" tab and there will be a "Select an Option" drop down where you will be able to select a $50 or more certificate. Click "Buy Now". Enter the discount code TREATS and you'll see your 80% discount applied. Then you will proceed to checkout.

You will then get an email and just follow the instructions there to redeem.

If you have any questions just leave a comment or email me.

Free Kraft Products ($40 worth) Request Again!

If you missed out on signing up for this before you can do it again NOW! I've figured it is going to result in a bit of free food. Thanks to Money Saving Mom for this tip.

Here's how:

The booklet is filled with $15 in coupons but there are also two offers to receive back $20 each on your Kraft Nabisco purchases. The first offer is dated 7/1/09 to 12/31/09 and the second from 1/1/10 to 6/30/10.

You must buy 10 Participating Nabisco Cookies or Crackers (4-28 oz), 5 Kraft Beverages, 5 Easy Mac Single Cups (2.05 or 4.1 oz).

Within the past few weeks Walgreens and CVS has had 4 oz cookies and crackers on sale for $1 each. Capri-Sun is regulary $2 each at Giant PA and Easy Mac cups are about $.78 at Walmart. This comes to about $25 all together. Throw in some coupons and you've got a great deal. So by using five of the $1/2 coupons in the booklet it brings the cost down to $20. There are 10 of these in the book.

I will keep a list of any other coupons that become available below. Here is the link to the list of participating items. The nice thing about this is that you only need to send in your receipts not the UPC codes. That would be alot of packages to keep track of!

$.75/1 cookies and crackers from 8/23 Smartsource
From the coupon bar above:
SAVE $1.00 When You Buy 2 Packages of CAPRI SUN
SAVE $1.00 When You Buy 2 PLANTERS Products
SAVE $1.00 When You Buy 1 PLANTERS NUT-rition
SAVE $1.00 When You Buy 2 Boxes of NABISCO Cookies or Crackers
SAVE $1.00 When You Buy 2 Boxes of OREO Cookies
SAVE $1.00 When You Buy 1 NABISCO Multi-Packs
SAVE $1.00 On 2 Packages of 5-Pack KRAFT Macaroni

All You Magazine

Are you familiar with the All You magazine? Each issue is packed with coupons, many high value. Get it delivered right to your mailbox to save up to $1.49 off the cover price and it will pay for itself.

When you purchase a 2 year subscription from Amazon you'll receive a $10 certificate to use on a future purchase. With Christmas coming you are sure to find something to spend that on. This deal makes All You $1 per issue.



With a one year subscription, recieve a $5 certificate making it $1.25 per issue.


You can cancel your subscription at any time and get a refund for issues that haven't shipped yet by contacting Synapse Services, Inc. at (800) 586-2199.


While magazine subscriptions are always free shipping, the purchase of a subscription qualifies for Free Super Saver shipping on Amazon. This means if there is something else you have been wanting to get but didn't want to pay for shipping, you will be that much closer to free shipping with a $25 order.

All You is created for the value-driven American woman. All You readers seek practical, reliable, affordable solutions for how to do more, buy more and accomplish more with less. They want “achievable inspiration,” not “unattainable fantasy,” reasonably priced products from stores where they actually shop, and real-life advice that fits their busy lifestyle. All You covers a range of topics from interpersonal relationships to home repair; recipes that can be made in 10 minutes to decorating ideas for under $100; health information delivered in language she can understand, to clothes for every body type, all presented in a lively, contemporary format.

Free Cupcakes from Little Debbie

Little Debbie is giving away one million coupons for free cupcakes as a part of their Share-a-Thon promotion as well as offering the chance to win a year's supply of cupcakes!

You'll also have a chance at the Little Debbie Cupcake Car, a portable GPS, a toy cupcake car/truck and an MP3 adapter for your car.

Restaurant.com Gift Certificates Save More with Mr. Rebates or Ebates

Here is a step by step to maximize your savings or profit using 70% savings ($3/$25) and 30% rebate (on purchase of $3) example.

1. Join Mr. Rebates or Ebates (use whoever is giving a larger discount). You'll get a $5 rebate for joining, giving you a $2.60 profit on a $25 certificate. Everyone gets 30% back on their order. So a $25 gift certificate will be $2.40, $50 will be $4.80 and so on.

2. On the rebate site find Restaurant.com in the drop down menu under "Shop by Store". Click on one of the links shown to go to the Restaurant.com site. From here you can buy a $25 certificate-read step 3 but skip to step 4 unless you want to buy a $50 certificate or higher.

3. A word of advice is that if the restuarant you want to go to is a more expensive one then get a $50 or $75 certificate. I considered this but bought only one since it was my first time and I was skeptical. There was no way we could have kept our bill below $50 at the closest restuarant to us. So, in hindsight, I should have bought $50 for $6 to maximize my savings.

Click the "Give a Gift" tab and there will be a "Select an Option" drop down where you will be able to select a $50 or more certificate. Click "Buy Now".

4. Enter the discount code and you'll see your discount applied. Then you will proceed to checkout.

You can request a check from the rebate site when your account reaches $5.01 or $10 so I'll keep you posted for more deals!

If you have any questions just leave a comment or email me.

Discounts for Re-Usable Bags

CVS has a Green Bag Tag you purchase for $.99. Each time you shop, bring your re-usable bag and have the tag scanned. After four trips you will earn $1 in ECBs.

November 1st Target will roll out it's re-usable shopping back discount of $.05 per bag.

This should keep billions of bags out of the landfills, if we could only remember to bring them with us! I think once we are in the habit it won't be a big deal.

Nabisco, Easy Cheese or Planters $10 Rebate

Thanks to MNTK I will be able to receive a $10 rebate on the purchase of 10 participating Nabisco, Easy Cheese or Planters products. There is no specific list of products for this promotion. The participating products are any NABISCO Crackers (7oz. - 16.5oz.), any Easy Cheese, and any PLANTERS Nuts ( 9.25oz. - 21.25oz.) At kraftfoods.com you can print a coupon for $1/2 Nabisco crackers.
