Free Movie- in Peoria

Anyone want to go see a free movie tomorrow night- I got this in my email.
There are still passes available for the Harkins Arrowhead in Peoria for 3/16 @ 7:00.
Just follow the link and reserve and print your passes.
Click here for free movie passes.

If you have never done a free preview before, you will want to get there early. It is first come, first served and they do sometimes run out of seats. You also want to be able to get seats together if you are going with someone. Concessions are at your own expense of course, but you can use your Harkins cup and t-shirt if you have those for cheap and free drinks or popcorn. Free or cheap date night! :)

Free stuff at JcPenney!

Got this in the mail today!
It's $10 off a $10 or more purchase at JCPenney. Which equates to free stuff!
It can only be used in store, so next time I am by the store, I will have to go see what I can get for $10.

This came because I was signed up for their rewards program. If you sign up for the rewards program, you will get these occasionally throughout the year. You can sign up for the rewards program for free here: www.jcprewards.com


Yay for free stuff!

Milk deal for the new year!

My husband found a great deal on milk this morning. Since these were close to the expiration, they were marked $.99 a gallon. We go through a lot of milk and this is a great stock up price! Milk freezes just fine, so I told him to get as many as he could.
He brought home 24 gallons of milk and said there was still a lot left.
We opened each one and poured off about an inch (into a pitcher to put in the fridge) so they won't expand and explode in the freezer.
We won't have to pay full price on milk for 2-3 months now!

Free desserts and cheap lunches

I visited Fry's today for a prescription for my daughter. She had one of her wisdom teeth pulled! :( I had a $10 KMart coupon for a new RX that I used. The script was only $3, so I made $7 on it! Then I went shopping.

I got some cinnamon toast crunch for @ $.75 a box. I used 2 $.55/1 coupons that doubled to $1 each and 1 coupon for $1/2. Both coupons were printables.
Ramen noodles were 6/$1 and DD requested these since she can't eat hard foods right now.
I grabbed some bread for $1 and some store brand vanilla wafers for $1.27. (These are my midnight snack cookies.) The cheese was kroger brand and I got 2 blocks for $1.50 each.
The banquet fruit pies were on sale for $.79 each and were free with my $.35 coupons that tripled up to the price.
Campbell's chicken noodle and tomato soups were $.50 and were $.25 each after my $.25/4 coupons that quadrupled up to $1.

The frozen meals will be great for lunches. I got 3 kid cuisine for $.39 each after $.50 coupons, 3 Healthy choice and 1 Marie Callendar's steamer meals for $.47 each after $.50 coupons, and 3 Banquet family meals for $.78 each after $.50 coupons. The family meals will make enough for lunch for everyone with one box. So that was a great deal for us!

After coupons and my $10 RX credit, I paid $6.72. Before sales and coupons, my total would have been $65.02, so that's a savings of 90%.

Junk Food Extravaganza!

Some fry's deals this week

I did a lot of shopping last week, but not a lot of posting. This week is not as good for deals, but there are a couple of deals that are worth looking at.

I went to Fry's this morning and they have a $3 off when you buy 10 items event going on. I bought 20 of the specific items and got $6 taken off.

Here is what I got:
6 Banquet meals- These are $.69 each after deal and I had a $1/6 coupon from on the package (from when we bought them before.) I specifically looked for more that had the coupons on them and got that kind. After the coupon, they were about $.52 each.

2 Banquet sausage- these are $.89 after the deal and I used the $.35/1 coupon (doubled) from the packages to get them for $.19 each.

4 Gatorade G2- $.69 after deal and used $1/2 coupons, so $.19 each

6 Pillsbury grands- $.89 after deal, used $.30/2 coupons (doubled), so $.54 each. When you buy 6 of these, though, you get a $4 catalina. So you pay $3.24 and get $4 back! These types of catalinas will roll, so after the first purchase, you can keep going without spending money until you run out of coupons.

2 Purex- $2.19 after deal- used $.35/1 coupons (doubled) to pay $1.49 each. When you buy 2 of these, you get a $4 catalina. So pay $2.98 for 2 and get $4 back!

There are a few other good deals, but these are the ones I'm doing this week at fry's.
