Old Navy Weekly Hunt

I totally forgot last night to check!!!! They had more $75 off $100 purchases! Did anyone get anything good?

We must be generating a buzz because this comment was left on the blog!

"Hello Mitchell Family,

It’s a new week at OldNavyWeekly.com and there’s a new hiding spot for those fabulous $75 off $100 coupons. But that’s not all that’s new! We’ve noticed how quickly the $75 and $100 coupons go and we’d like to give more of you the chance to snoop out these super savings. So this week, we’ll be releasing the coupons multiple times instead of all at once. Make sure to keep checking back—it’s gonna be a fun week!

How I like to Shop

I had so many comments on my show and tell this week that I wanted to show you guys they way I would shop this sale to get the lowest cost at the checkout!

If I was purchasing anything from the PG promo (spend 20 and get $5 back on you next shopping order (oynso)) I would buy that first. I would get to as close to $20 as possible, I am talking not more than a dollar fifty-two dollars over. I would pay my money, then a $5 coupon would print off.

If I was buying 2 of the Land O Lakes butter that prints a .50 cent of coupon I would then buy those two items. I would pay and then get handed a .50 cent off coupon.

I would then proceed to make the rest of my purchases. After all my other items rang up I would be sure that if I was participating in the Nestles or Dannon Promo that $2 for every $10 came off my bill. I would then hand over my coupons, then I would hand over the $5 off coupon and .50 cent of coupon that printed from my previous transactions. Also don't forget the $5 of $30 coupons you received in the mail, when you signed up on Albies PYP list (sorry, if you missed it it is over now =( ).

By rolling my Catalinas I am saving $5.50 at checkout instead of walking home with a $5.50 coupon. Either way you'll get $5.50 off, I just like to see my savings instantly at checkout!

I promise you will get super good at checking out and getting the least cost out of pocket at the register. It takes some trial and error. I love to tell how awful I was in the beginning. I remember going home and crying my first couple weeks after trying to get the hang of maximizing my savings. My husband actually turned to me and said "maybe its just not for you." At that point I was determined to make it work. I just had to think about "maximizing my savings" all the time. The grocery stores are fully aware that separate transactions happen. Don't be afraid to make multiple transactions to get the most at checkout! Good Luck Gals! Look at me from tears, to teaching you guys! Anything is possible!

Tough Times

I think that with the recession in the economy, people are on a tighter budget, but still want to be able to enjoy their lives and not pay and arm and a leg for it. I think it is wonderful that companies out there are willing to give things away for absolutely FREE!

Our local new station does a Free Friday Segment and I thought I had found everything out there that was already free, but boy was I wrong. Here are some of the fun things they were able to find!

Be the FIRST to see a Free movie!

CW 30 gives away free movie tickets when you follow their instructions online. For people who live in SLC and can pick up and go and see movies this is a great deal. My husband commented to me "I wish we could do that, but with the boys that's impossible." If you aren't strapped down at home on weeknights and weekends, this a great idea to score free movie screenings!

I read somewhere that itune's has started raising some of their song purchases to $1.29? I haven't been on recently to check, but I was sad to hear that. Here is a fun idea to build up your playlist without reaching for your plastic cards! Walmart lets you download a free mp3 song once a week! Here is that link!
